There were many people standing at the school gate. Bai Qingzhi immediately recognized that the most dazzling man standing in the middle was Xiao Yuan.
As Xiao Yuan listened to the hypocritical words of the people in front of him, he inadvertently saw a car driving over from a distance. At first, he didn't pay attention, but then he suddenly saw the face that haunted his dreams.
Upon seeing Bai Qingzhi, Xiao Yuan's eyes became uncontrollable, and he couldn't even hear what the person opposite him was saying.
Xiao Yuan had been invited by the principal many times before he finally came. Seeing Xiao Yuan looking at that car, the principal's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that Xiao Yuan is angry because he didn't give prior notice that there were other speakers?
Before the principal could even process what was happening, he saw Xiao Yuan already walking towards the car.
Ever since she saw Xiao Yuan, Bai Qingzhi's thoughts drifted elsewhere, and she couldn't help but think about the topics they had discussed a few days ago.
What kind of wife will he marry in the future?
By the time she realized what was happening, Xiao Yuan had already walked to the car, looking at her with a smile in his eyes.
The principal followed behind, observed the situation, and understood something.
Liu Chenghan naturally saw Xiao Yuan's actions as well, and a hint of displeasure appeared in his eyes, but it vanished in an instant.
After getting off the train, he went to Xiao Yuan's side and personally opened the door for Bai Qingzhi.
"Brother Yuan, what brings you here?" Bai Qingzhi asked curiously.
As far as she knew, CEOs like them were all very busy.
When Xiao Yuan faced Bai Qingzhi, his cold arrogance had completely disappeared.
"University A is my alma mater, and I'm back today to give a speech."
Bai Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, and her eyes subconsciously turned to the principal.
However, she didn't mind, since it's normal.
"President Xiao, it's been a long time." Liu Chenghan greeted Bai Qingzhi with a smile.
Xiao Yuan nodded aloofly in greeting, then continued to look at Bai Qingzhi, not wanting to miss a single moment.
The scene became somewhat awkward. The principal and the others didn't know what to say and were afraid that saying anything might offend Xiao Yuan.
"Aren't you going to give a speech? Shouldn't it be starting soon?" Bai Qingzhi asked seriously, completely oblivious to the atmosphere.
At this point, the principal realized what was happening and hurriedly agreed.
Bai Qingzhi stood in the middle, flanked by two tall men on either side, while the principal followed behind.
This made her feel a little uncomfortable, and she turned around to let the principal go first, but she didn't expect that as soon as she stopped, both men stopped as well.
The people behind them were even more afraid to move forward.
Helpless, Bai Qingzhi could only continue to lift her foot, lower her head, and walk quickly forward.
Upon arriving at the lecture venue, Bai Qingzhi realized that the two were not in the same place, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, their lectures were scheduled for the same time.
"Qingzhi, you'll come to hear my speech, right?" Liu Chenghan asked gently, his face still beaming.
Bai Qingzhi didn't answer, but glanced at Xiao Yuan, who didn't extend an invitation.
"I will." Bai Qingzhi felt a little uncomfortable for some reason, but she still smiled and nodded in agreement.
Liu Chenghan laughed, then took his things to prepare.
Looking at Xiao Yuan, who had regained his aloofness, Bai Qingzhi felt the air seemed a little thin, and then she took the initiative to ask:
"Brother Yuan, what do you want to say?"
"I thought Zhizhi only remembered Liu Chenghan?" Xiao Yuan's expression changed immediately upon hearing the question, and he even showed a hint of grievance.
Looking at Xiao Yuan's childish behavior, Bai Qingzhi felt much more relaxed, and even her eyes filled with a smile.
"I'm not a fish, how could I forget?"
"Then Zhizhi definitely won't have time to come see me." Xiao Yuan pressed his advantage, even moving closer.
Just then, the sunlight shone down and fell on Xiao Yuan's face. Bai Qingzhi looked up and their eyes met. She felt that his eyes held the stars and the sea.
There was another emotion that made her heart flutter.
She lowered her head in a panic, avoiding his gaze. Bai Qingzhi stammered, unable to speak, her mind reeling.
It has to be said that Xiao Yuan's looks were absolutely captivating to her, especially seeing him up close like this was simply a devastating blow.
Xiao Yuan's eyes dimmed slightly, but he still managed a smile.
"It's okay, you can come back next time you have time, or you can listen to me talk whenever you want." Xiao Yuan reached out and gently patted her head.
Only after the surroundings quieted down did Bai Qingzhi breathe a sigh of relief and start walking towards Liu Chenghan's conference room.
The speech had already begun, and the large conference room was almost full. Liu Chenghan was on stage sharing his learning experiences.
Seeing Bai Qingzhi enter, Liu Chenghan's smile widened.
But Bai Qingzhi, sitting in the chair, couldn't calm down. Her mind was filled with Xiao Yuan's words and expression before he left.
The longer it went on, the more uncomfortable Bai Qingzhi felt, as if she had become a heartless man.
Bai Qingzhi looked up at Liu Chenghan again, then frowned and thought for a while before hesitatingly standing up and walking outside.
As soon as Bai Qingzhi's figure disappeared through the door, the smile on Liu Chenghan's face vanished instantly.
Before Bai Qingzhi even reached Xiao Yuan's meeting room, she saw that the corridor was full of people, mostly girls.
Squeezing through the crowd and looking out the window, I realized there were even more people inside, packed tightly together in layers.
Xiao Yuan was wearing a black shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and his hair was neatly styled, making him look every bit the successful businessman.
He stood tall and elegant, his straight-legged suit trousers were spotless, and although his face was expressionless, his words were inspiring.
Bai Qingzhi stood outside the window until Xiao Yuan finished his speech, and they happened to meet when Xiao Yuan came out.
Xiao Yuan, who had initially given up hope, was stunned for a moment when he suddenly saw Bai Qingzhi, even with his usually calm and composed demeanor. Then, a surge of joy rose in his heart.
His naivety was accepting him, even without her own knowledge!
Meanwhile, at the Bai family's third son's house, the second son of the Bai family had already arrived early to continue his grand plan of winning them over.
Bai Fan stood secretly outside the door, listening to the faint conversations coming from inside, while his hands quickly typed on his phone.
When Bai Lao Er came out, three hours later, he had a happy smile on his face. He looked through the door at Bai Lao San, equally satisfied.
Bai Fan's mind stirred slightly, and he roughly understood that the two must have reached a cooperation agreement.
He left without making a sound.
Bai Fan's mother was in a good mood making small cakes in the kitchen. Bai Fan quietly went in and then whispered:
"Mom, I have something to tell you."
Bai Fan's mother was inherently sexist, but unfortunately she didn't have a son. Even so, she didn't treat Bai Fan well.
Seeing the cake ruined because of Bai Fan's sudden outburst, Bai Fan's mother glared at her unhappily.
Bai Fan didn't mind and continued:
"Mom, this is very important, extremely important!"
Seeing her serious expression, Bai Fan's mother wiped her hands and said:
"Let's go back inside and talk."
