In the afternoon, Nan Ge was still in a daze when the alarm clock rang. In her half-asleep state, she opened her eyes and glanced at the time.

It's only one o'clock. She turned off the alarm and wanted to sleep more.

When she closed her eyes, Nan Ge suddenly could not fall asleep. She felt that she had forgotten something...

Did her roommate, Su Hui, say something before she left this morning?

If she remembered correctly, Shen... Shen Yanqing was giving a lecture today!

"Oh God!"

Everyone in town knew about Shen Yanqing. It was said that he was the object of competition for several key universities in the country back then. Eventually, he skipped a grade and was guaranteed admission to Huai University's business school. In the end, he went overseas to study.

He had started his business when he was still in school. At the age of 28, he was already one of the young entrepreneurs in the country. He rarely appeared in public. Today, he was invited by his alma mater to specially come back to give a lecture.

Many people were waiting to see this mysterious big shot with their own eyes, and Nan Ge was no exception.

Speaking of which, she had some history with Shen Yanqing... To be precise, their fates had intertwined in a doomed way.

Back then, when she was applying for her university, her father forced her to apply to a local one. However, she insisted on going to another city, so she had a huge fight with her father.

The day she ran away from home, she inadvertently heard a phone interview with Shen Yanqing in a taxi. Since it happened during the university application season, he was probably helping to do some publicity for his alma mater.

The cheap speakers in the taxi occasionally made some static.

Even so, it was impossible to conceal the man's gentle voice. It was like a breeze blowing from the mountains, neither light nor heavy, hitting her eardrums.

The host asked about his alma mater, Huai University. He was very patient and answered them one by one.

At the end of the interview, his voice fell silent for a few seconds before he spoke again.

"I'm Shen Yanqing. I hope everyone applies for Huai University."

His name Shen Yanqing meant peaceful and clear.

She took note of the name.

On that midsummer evening, she chose to apply for Huai University's business school and submitted her application on the dot to become Shen Yanqing's junior.

In hindsight, she had been tortured quite badly in the past two years and she had the big shot to thank for it.

Tears trickled down her face whenever she studied. She was paying back for the stupid decision she had made in the heat of the moment back in the day!

This man kept bragging about Huai University's business school and made it sound like a piece of cake to study there during the interview. She was just an ignorant innocent girl, but he had fooled her badly.

--

"Wait, wait, wait!"

Nan Ge sprinted all the way to the school building, but the elevator door opposite her had already closed.

As she watched the gap become increasingly small, Nan Ge closed her eyes in frustration.

Just as she wailed, she heard a gentle voice suddenly say, "Hang on."
