"Qingmeng, you haven't been to Shanghai before, have you? I've been here a few times on business trips. The Bund is right outside. How about we go for a walk?" Xiao Tong quickly caught up with him.
"Need not."
"Hey, Qingmeng, please give me a chance, okay?"
"Let go!"
Xiao Tong grabbed Liu Qingmeng's arm, preventing her from leaving.
"I don't want to! Qingmeng, I really like you, my feelings for you are genuine, am I not good enough for you?"
"Xiao Tong."
"Principal Su, what brings you here? Are you here for a meal?"
Seeing Su Zhilan arrive, Xiao Tong finally let go of her hand.
"No, I'm here to see Qingmeng. Xiao Tong, it's okay to fall in love these days. Kyoto University doesn't oppose campus romances. However, your behavior just now was a bit against the rules."
"I hope you remember that you are a member of Kyoto University and represent the face of Kyoto University. Don't bring shame to Kyoto University because of you."
"No, Principal Su, I got a little carried away just now. I'm sorry, Qingmeng. We'll take our leave now."
After saying that, Xiao Tong and Zhao Yangtian walked past Liu Qingmeng and Su Zhilan and left the restaurant.
"Are you alright, Qingmeng?"
"I'm fine, Sister Zhilan."
"Come on, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll take you out to eat."
"Thank you so much for today, Sister Zhilan. Otherwise, I would have been driven crazy by that fly."
"It's alright, it's my fault too. I promised to protect you from Xiao Tong, but I didn't expect to be harassed while eating at a restaurant."
"It's alright, Sister Zhilan. I'm already very grateful to you. If it weren't for you today, I don't know how long I would have been harassed."
"Alright, let's not talk about him anymore. Let's go for a stroll on the Bund. The weather is nice today, so the Bund is sure to be especially lively."
"Okay, Zhilan, have you eaten yet?"
"I haven't eaten yet. I was supposed to come back earlier after the meeting today, but I ran into a college classmate there and chatted for a while, which made me late."
"Then let me treat you to dinner, Sister Zhilan."
"No, I'll treat you to dinner."
"Oh, let me treat you. First, to thank you for getting me out of that predicament, and second, since you treated me to dinner last time, I want to return the favor this time."
"No, how can you invite me?"
"Why not? You're not my Teacher Su anymore, you're Sister Zhilan now. Can't I treat Sister Zhilan to a meal?"
"Okay, you win."
"Sister Zhilan, what would you like to eat? It's my treat!"
"Let's find a shop nearby and grab something to eat."
"How about we go to the Bund to eat? The scenery there is beautiful, and there aren't many places to eat around here."
"It's too expensive to go there."
"It's not expensive, Sister Zhilan. I have money. I can afford to treat you to a meal. Oh, I'm leaving now."
Back in her room, Xiao Tong smashed the flowers on the ground.
"Boss, calm down. I didn't expect this woman to be angry with you!"
"Yeah! Three years have passed, and she's still angry with me! It's not like I bullied her, so why is she blaming me!"
"That's right, it's not that Liu Qingmeng is thinking anything, but now you're worth hundreds of millions, and if the company does well this year, the Xiao family will give you another 20% of the shares, and your net worth will instantly reach several billion. What else could she possibly want from you?"
"I need another idea!"
"Boss, let's give her another chance. Book a table at the Shanghai Eye on the Bund. It's said that no one can refuse a meal at the Shanghai Eye."
"The Eye of Shanghai? Good idea, go and book it for me for tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
A few minutes later, Zhao Yangtian returned.
"Boss, I've already made the reservation. Now you need to buy her a gift. When the time comes, confess your love to her at the Eye of Shanghai, with the entire Huangpu River as a witness. What girl wouldn't be moved?"
"What if she doesn't come tomorrow?"
"Boss, you can do this, but if you do it again..."
"Good idea, let's do it this way."
The next day, Su Zhilan gathered all the participants together in the conference room for a meeting.
"Our competition is about to begin. I went to a meeting yesterday. The format for this year's competition is the same as in previous years. However, this year's China Business Challenge will be the last one."
"Teacher Su, what do you mean by 'the last one'?" Everyone looked at Su Zhilan nervously after hearing this news.
"As the name suggests, this is the last one, so winning the championship this time is even more difficult."
"So the China Business Challenge is being cancelled?"
"Yes."
"Such a prestigious competition, can't it just be canceled like that?"
"This is the decision of the event organizers, and I have no right to interfere. So, in the days leading up to the start of the competition, come to this conference room during the day. Professor Liu and I, the three of us, will do our best to help you."
"As you know, the China Business Challenge is not only about the honor of our Department of Economics and Management, but also about providing you with a better job in the future. If you are noticed by the bigwigs of listed companies, you will have a smooth career path."
"Teacher Su, we will definitely do our best!"
"Alright, now let's hear from Professor Liu."
"Let's discuss it. Since this competition is divided into four grades, our goal is to win two gold medals, which is first place. Are you confident?"
"Yes! Professor Liu, we have it all!"
"Don't get too excited yet. According to rumors, all the universities that are competing with us have sent their strongest teams ever. This is a battle of the gods."
"We are Kyoto University, we have confidence!"
"Good, it's good to have confidence. Next, Professor Huang will explain the competition rules and analyze past competition questions."
After a day of training, Liu Qingmeng returned to her room and lay down on the bed.
"Are you tired?"
"Sister Zhilan, why are you so tired? My head hurts."
"Let's go eat."
"Okay, let me catch my breath."
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
There was a knock on the door, so I went to open it.
"Okay, go open the door, Sister Zhilan."
When Su Zhilan opened the door, she saw Xiao Tong and Zhao Yangtian.
"Is there something you need, Xiao Tong and Zhao Yangtian?"
"Teacher Su, we've come to apologize to you and Qingmeng. We are truly sorry for what happened yesterday."
"It's alright. I was a bit harsh yesterday. We accept your apology. Is there anything else?"
"Oh, it's like this. We felt that a verbal apology wasn't enough, so we specifically booked a table at the Shanghai Eye to express our remorse."
"The Eye of Shanghai?"
"Yes, look, would you do me the honor? There's no one else here, just the four of us."
"I'm not going." Liu Qingmeng came out from inside and refused directly.
