Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Xu Tianyi was very glad that he was exhausted by Luo Yu. Otherwise, he would be the one who was lying there right now.

After Gu Qingchen left, she did not pay attention to Department of Economics. Instead, she went straight to Mr. Meng’s office.

When she entered the office, she found that Mr. Lin, who had suffered from heart disease was also there.

Gu Qingchen had only expressed her intention to come. Mr. Meng happily handed the semester’s teaching materials to Gu Qingchen. However, before Gu Qingchen left, Mr. Meng seemed to have thought of something and stopped her.

“Miss Gu Qingchen, please wait a moment.”

Gu Qingchen carried a stack of teaching materials and turned around to ask, “Mr. Meng, is there anything else?”

Mr. Meng glanced at Mr. Lin before continuing, “You know about Mr. Lin’s situation. He has also looked for many famous doctors to treat him. He even went to look for the head of our school’s Department of Medicine. However, most people suggest that a surgery is needed in such a situation.”

“You also know that surgery will always have risks. Mr. Lin and his family don’t want him to do a surgery, so... we want to try traditional Chinese medicine.”

Mr. Lin joined in this time and said with some difficulty, “I know that Doctor Hua of the Hundred Herb Hall is a great doctor. I’ve always hoped that Doctor Hua could treat him. Unfortunately, Doctor Hua seems to have been in seclusion, so...”

Gu Qingchen finally understood. It turned out that Mr. Lin knew that Gu Qingchen was Doctor Hua’s disciple and wanted to ask Doctor Hua to treat him through Gu Qingchen.

Seeing that Gu Qingchen paused and did not answer immediately, Mr. Lin hurriedly added, “I know that Doctor Hua is very busy and it’s not easy to find Doctor Hua to treat his illness. I just don’t want to give up this hope. If it’s really troublesome, then...”

“Mr. Lin, it’s just a consultation. My master isn’t that pretentious. It’s just that recently, my master has indeed been in closed-door cultivation, and I haven’t seen him for a long time. How about this, when master comes out of closed-door cultivation, I’ll ask you to visit my master. What do you think?”

When Mr. Lin heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. He hurriedly said, “Alright. Then I’ll wait for your news.”

......

Gu Qingchen nodded. Just as she was about to leave the office, Mr. Meng called out to Gu Qingchen once again.

“Gu Qingchen, wait a moment.”

Gu Qingchen stopped in her tracks, feeling a little helpless. Could it be that she couldn’t finish everything together?

“Is there anything else, Mr. Meng?”

She was very eager for knowledge and was about to go back to reading.

“Since you have helped Mr. Lin, we two naturally have to help you as well. During the welcoming ceremony today, you seem to have a conflict with Director Jiang.”

Mr. Meng asked very carefully, still looking at Gu Qingchen’s expression.

“I don’t have a conflict with Director Jiang, but I can’t guarantee that Director Jiang will have any selfish intentions towards me.”

Gu Qingchen was very straightforward. From what Jiang Yi had said today and how he had deliberately made things difficult for her, she knew that Jiang Yi wouldn’t let her off easily.

She had thought that Jiang Yi, as the student affairs director of Hongfeng, might be able to understand right from wrong. In the end, she was disappointed. After all, Jiang Zhong and Jiang Yi were family. It was normal for Jiang Yi to target her.

Mr. Meng and Mr. Lin looked at each other. They understood that Gu Qingchen was telling the truth. After thinking for a while, Mr. Meng spoke up, “It’s almost the end of the year. As tradition, Hongfeng will hold a large-scale event every year. The new students must also participate in this event. This time, there aren’t many new students, only twenty or so. According to the situation in previous years, all of the new students will have to form a small group for a performance.”

What?

It was so weird?

Must the freshmen form a team?

Gu Qingchen was happy to be able to be with Yan Xiaoju and Han Zhengxiu. However, everything would be ruined if she had to team up with An Ge.

Even so, there was no need for Mr. Meng to tell her about this.

Mr. Meng seemed to see through Gu Qingchen’s doubts and could only continue explaining, “Such a large-scale event is usually handled by the students. Furthermore, under normal circumstances, the freshmen will not be informed. They will only inform you three days in advance. The purpose is to let you cooperate with each other to complete the performance in the shortest time possible. If you and Director Jiang didn’t have a grudge, I wouldn’t have told you about this in advance.”

Gu Qingchen thought for a moment and said, “Mr. Meng, you mean that Director Jiang will intentionally make things difficult for me during this large-scale performance?”

Mr. Meng paused for a moment before saying, “I didn’t say that, but... if the freshmen make a big mistake during this performance, Hongfeng will expel them.”

Gu Qingchen’s face darkened upon hearing this.

Taking in a few deep breaths, she slowly got used to Hongfeng’s eccentricities. When she looked at Mr. Meng and Mr. Lin, she smiled and nodded. “I understand. Thank you for your advice.”

“Regarding the event, you should know what to do. Don’t spread it around and don’t break the rules.”

Gu Qingchen nodded. “Alright, I know what to do. Please rest assured. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving first.”

“Yes, there’s nothing else. You can go back now.”

Gu Qingchen carried a stack of textbooks and finally walked out of the office.

After Gu Qingchen left, Mr. Meng said, “I heard that Young Master Rong might be attending this performance. If anything goes wrong, Gu Qingchen might not be able to stay in Hongfeng anymore.”

“Young Master Rong will really come?” Mr. Lin was surprised.

Mr. Meng only said, “That’s hard to say, but it’s very possible.”

When Gu Qingchen returned to the classroom, the way the students looked at Gu Qingchen had already undergone an earth-shattering change. Perhaps it was because of the intimidation of the previous fight, no one had come to provoke Gu Qingchen for the time being.

Xu Tianyi and Zhao Zimo were still in their seats, while Jia Zhirui was not there.

Luo Yu saw Gu Qingchen and quickly waved at her. Gu Qingchen ignored the stares of others and once again sat in the seats that belonged to Xu Tianyi and the other two.

Gu Qingchen also handed over Luo Yu’s teaching materials.

Luo Yu was a little embarrassed when he received the teaching materials. “I actually forgot to get the teaching materials. Thank you so much. I should go by myself.”

“It’s okay. It’s just a small favor. I had to take mine anyway.”

Luo Yu smiled at Gu Qingchen. He felt that Gu Qingchen was a good person and worth befriending.

“Little Sprout, I have changed my view on you. You’re something else!”

Xu Tianyi came over again, but this time his tone was not as picky as before. It could be seen that he no longer looked down on Gu Qingchen like before.

“Then you should learn from the person next to you and get a pair of glasses. Maybe your eyesight will be better.”

Gu Qingchen took a glance at the textbook, then picked a book and started to read it.

Xu Tianyi was stunned. Even Zhao Zimo was smiling sneakily. Xu Tianyi rolled his eyes at Zhao Zimo and then said to Gu Qingchen, “Don’t think that he’s really smart. His glasses are for show. In reality, he’s just a wolf with his tail tucked between his legs.”

“Xu Tianyi, you can’t pick up a girl by embarrassing your brother.”
