Names mentioned in this chapter :

–苏芮 (sù ruì) – Su Rui, our female protagonist

–苏小芮(sù xiǎo ruì)- Su Xiao Rui, which translates to Su little Rui.

–顾煜城 (gù yù chéng)- Gu Yu Cheng, the male lead

-顾董(gù dǒng)- Chairman Gu

–唐笑(táng xiào) – Tang Xiao, Su Rui’s friend and daughter of the chairman of Tang Jing Group

–刘玲(Liú líng)- Liu Ling, Su Rui’s roommate

-B大(dà)- University B, the university that Su Rui is attending and the university Gu Yu Cheng had graduated from.

Gu Yu Cheng?

When Su Rui heard those three words, she subconsciously looked towards the direction of the rostrum.

Sure enough, the person on the stage who was previously the old musician has changed.

There were people who had such a strong presence that can’t be ignored, such as Gu Yu Cheng.

She looked at the man in the dark gray suit on the stage currently. Although she couldn’t see his face clearly as it was too far away, she could see his imposing manner from afar.

She knew that it was Gu Yu Cheng when she heard the deep masculine voice coming from the microphone.

In order to get to know this person, Su Rui checked his details on the Internet previously.

Gu Yu Cheng’s existence can basically be referred to as a 88[1] president of a company in her past life.

It’s easy to understand why it has caused a stir just now.

Don’t you see that even Miss Liu Ling is also excited!

“God! Gu Yu Cheng came! In the previous opening ceremony of University B, Gu Yu Cheng never came! He only came on the 100th year anniversary!” Liu Ling excitedly said. She did not forget to pull Tang Xiao and Su Rui beside her.

“No wonder the school has to notify the whole school to attend. This is so worth it.”

“Why is the music faculty so close to the stage! If I knew we’d follow Tang Xiao to sit there!”

“….”

Listening to Liu Ling in her ear going on and on, the corner of Su Rui’s mouth twitched.

She had always thought that Liu Ling was a dignified girl.

Now….

Classmate Liu, aren’t you exaggerating too much.

Su Rui taunted Liu Ling in her heart.

Tang Xiao said what Su Rui wanted to say bluntly, “Miss Liu, aren’t you exaggerating a little?”

“How am I exaggerating? Don’t you know that I entered University B’s economic management faculty because of Gu Yu Cheng?”

“Oh, I can’t tell. Are you Chairman Gu’s crazy fan[2]?”

“As if I’m a crazy fan” Liu Ling replied politely and corrected her in a rightful tone, “It’s worship, worship do you understand?”

“A lot of people in our economic management department want to follow the steps of Gu Yu Cheng, ok?”

Indeed, Gu Yu Cheng was able to build Gu Group into a super first-class commercial empire in just a few years, which was a legend amongst the eyes of finance students, even the rich second generation who didn’t plan to work.

“Forget it. You’re a music student. No, an atheoretical musicology student. You won’t understand even if I told you.” Liu Ling waved her hands and looked at Tang Xiao scornfully.

She added in her heart: Especially since this Miss obviously looks like she’s not planning to work.

“Su Rui”, Liu Ling lightly bumped Su Rui’s arm and said, “Don’t you think I’m correct about what I said?”

Liu Ling wanted to pull Su Rui who was a roommate with the same aspiration as her to explain to Tang Xiao.

When she turned around, she realised that Su Rui was not excited at all.

It would be fine if she isn’t excited but why does she look like she is having a headache?

“It can’t be right?” Liu Ling widened her eyes at Su Rui, “Su Rui, you don’t know Gu Yu Cheng as well?”

In this regard, Liu Ling expressed her doubts.

Not mentioning the fact that the three words “Gu Yu Cheng” has become an adjective which was known by everyone, there are many stories about Gu Yu Cheng in university and even several elective courses are about how successful Gu Yu Cheng was in business.

It would be impossible if Su Rui didn’t know about it.

Or is it that her roommate is supposed to study the history of world sculptures?

“Puh——” Tang Xiao finally burst out laughing when she heard Liu Ling’s question.

“What?”

“You are so funny. I can’t hold it in.”

“You,” said Tang Xiao slowly with a smile, “Do you think Su Xiao Rui doesn’t know Gu Yu Cheng?”

Tang Xiao raised her eyebrows, looked at Liu Ling and said. “Haha. Let me tell you, not only does Su Xiao Rui know who Gu Yu Cheng is, but she also had a blind date with Chairman Gu.” Su Rui:….

Miss Tang, would you mind not picking the kettle that is not boiling[3]?

As expected, she couldn’t pick her teammates at the banquet. She felt that what she picked up was not a plastic[4]good friend[5] but a stupid teammate?

When Liu Ling heard it, she instantly widened her eyes and looked at Su Rui in disbelief.

“You? Gu Yu Cheng? Blind date?” What is this marvellous world?

Compared to not believing that Su Rui went on a blind date with Gu Yu Cheng, she couldn’t believe that a person like Gu Yu Cheng needs to go on blind date!

“It’s just a nominal blind date.” When Su Rui saw Liu Ling’s expression of #This is impossible, this girl is joking, the corner of her mouth twitched and helplessly explained.

“My parents happened to know his parents, so we just met for formality’s sake.”

Although, in this process, she once took the misunderstanding as the truth, and was very serious with Gu Yu Cheng for a few days.

Looking at Liu Ling’s expression of shock, Tang Xiao, who was beside them, explained further to Su Rui’s explanation because she was afraid that her joke that she made was getting out of hand.
