Chapter 298: The Principal of Capital University Came Personally
Lei Xiao knew many of those inside. Whenever he saw them with Gu Mang, he felt exceptionally regretful. If he had not fallen into such bad terms with Gu Mang, he would have had such a bright future.
Perhaps he would have been promoted more often and would not be like how he was now, promotionless.
But it was too late to say such things now.
He pouted and was just about to look away when he saw a scholarly figure through the side of his peripheral vision and he was shocked. In the next second, he felt like lightning had struck his brain. He stood rooted to the ground and was dumbfounded.
“Principal Ren?” he mumbled.
Principal Ren of Capital University was internationally renowned. His position was in no way lower than Yu Zhongjing’s. He was a member of the Medical Faculty and he was the Acting President of Country Hua’s medical association.
He was speaking to Gu Mang with a kind look and his attitude seemed very respectful. His attitude was different from how the medical organization had treated Gu Yin. When the medical organization came to Ming City High School to recruit students, they usually sent a professor who was not very well known.
Yet the principal of Capital University had come personally to greet Gu Mang…
There was no one around the table that he could climb higher than and all of them had their eyes on Gu Mang. Everything seemed to be developing in a direction that he did not like very much. Principal Ren’s attendance was enough to prove that Gu Mang was already halfway into the capital’s inner circle and rather influential herself.
The capital was a place that he dreamed of going ever since he entered the officialdom. Lei Xiao returned to his private room. He looked startled. Everyone around the table was congratulating him.
“Gu Yin was accepted by the medical organization and Gu Mang is enrolling into the Capital University’s Medical School. Division Chief Lei, in the future things will go much smoother for you.” Someone toasted him.
Lei Xiao forced a smile and tried his best to control his expression.
…
Meanwhile.
At 10pm, Elder Tan had to return to rest. Then, Lu Shangjin asked everyone to disperse. They all drank a little alcohol so Elder Tan made them call chauffeurs to pick them up.
Lu Chengzhou phoned Lu Yi and Lu San to come over to pick up Gu Mang’s birthday gifts. Meanwhile, he and Gu Mang sent Elder Tan home. Gu Si followed along too.
Lin Zhou also graduated from Capital University. She was having a small talk with Principal Ren as they walked into the elevator. The first batch of people went down first while the others waited for the lift to come up again.
Meng Jinyang saw that Gu Mang and Lu Chengzhou were getting increasingly close so she did not want to disturb them. She let Jiang Shenyuan send her back to school discreetly.
Jiang Shenyuan looked at everyone. “I’ll send Jinyang back to school first. The dormitory gates close at 11pm.”
Qin Fang spoke curiously. “It’s already so late and she’s going back to school? Why don’t you let her stay at your place for the night?”
Hearing that Meng Jinyang clenched her fist softly and looked tense. “It’s fine, we can still make it in time.”
Seeing the unnatural expression on her face, Qin Fang sort of understood what was going on. He replied, “Taking the elevator from the mall would be quicker. You can send her back first.”
He thought that Meng Jinyang had recovered but she still had some trauma.
Jiang Shenyuan nodded. “Tell Gu Mang.”
“Okay.”
Seeing Jiang Shenyuan leave with Meng Jinyang, Qin Fang and the others looked away.
When the designated lift in World Restaurant arrived, the people standing by the door squeezed in and went to the carpark at level B2. Gu Mang and Lu Chengzhou were waiting at the carpark. Gu Si stood beside them and was playing games on the device that Qin Yaozhi gave him.
He Yidu and the others walked towards Lu Chengzhou.
They all had outstanding appearances and the auras that they exuded were very high-class. The others in the car park looked over at them in awe.
Ji Heng was very reserved and a man of few words. He bid Gu Mang goodbye once he went downstairs to leave for the night.
Qin Rui spoke a few simple sentences and pressed on his car keys. His car beeped from within the carpark. Then, he nodded at everyone and turned around to walk to his car with Qin Yaozhi in tow. Sheng Ting left with them as well.
