"Are the two Secretaries here to invite Shen Yuan to dinner?"
Ye Zhiyang couldn't help expressing his surprise.
The other students were also looking at each other with confusion. Just a moment ago, after Li Zhanpeng's words, they really believed that Shen Yuan had gotten into some trouble.
But now, it seemed that wasn't the case.
The fact that the two Youth League Secretaries personally came to the dorm to invite a student to dinner was a huge honor, wasn't it?
Yan Song also felt his scalp tingle; he noticed Huang Haibao had mentioned the "Entrepreneurship Base," so he asked, "What's this Entrepreneurship Base thing about?"
Huang Haibao shook his head: "I don't know. Secretary Kong just mentioned it in passing."
Everyone was unclear about the situation now, but it must be that Shen Yuan had done something impressive for the school's leaders to come and woo him, otherwise they wouldn't lower themselves to invite him for a meal.
All present were students at the school, and when they saw teachers and school leaders, even if they did not bow and scrape, they would at least greet those they recognized with respect.
But Shen Yuan was obviously not on the same level as them now. He didn't have to greet the school leaders; rather, the school leaders came to his dorm specially to invite him for a meal.
This was quite absurd because everyone was a decent, honest student, yet you, on the sly, became superior to others?
At this moment, Li Zhanpeng realized the situation was drifting away from what he had imagined, so he quickly left room 503. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel⁂fire.net
He also thought of the time when Shen Yuan splashed him with a face-full of drink, thinking to himself, this damned guy is truly bizarre!
Meanwhile, the four of them set off in two cars headed to Nanjing Restaurant. Shen Yuan drove the Defender with Lih Xiao, while Lui Zhaojiang served as the driver for Kong Zongping.
"Shen Yuan, changed cars, eh? This car is really spacious!"
Lih Xiao let out a sigh as she got into the passenger seat and then buckled up. She was wearing a slightly loose T-shirt today, but as soon as she fastened the seat belt, her impressive cleavage was highlighted by the strap.
"I was used to sedans before, so I wanted to try out an SUV, but it can be inconvenient for parking at times."
Shen Yuan had been driving the car for a week and had encountered a few tight parking spots. He could squeeze in with some effort but getting out was tricky—the door easily scraped the adjacent car's paint.
Just then, Lih Xiao suddenly received a phone call, and Shen Yuan inadvertently overheard keywords like "renting," "moving," and "Lalamove" during the conversation.
After Lih Xiao hung up, Shen Yuan asked, "Counselor, are you changing houses?"
Lih Xiao nodded: "Yeah, I'm moving in a couple of days. My current house's lease is up, and I plan to find a new place with my sister."
Shen Yuan saw this as an opportunity to increase the Feel-good Index: "Do you need my help with moving?"
Lih Xiao pondered for a moment, then shook her head: "That's not really appropriate. It's a new car and it wouldn't be suitable to move stuff with it. I'll just call a Lalamove." Experience exclusive tales on empire
Shen Yuan smiled: "It's okay. A car is just a tool, a consumable. Besides, it's only right for a student to help out a teacher."
Lih Xiao still felt it wouldn't be right: "I'd rather not trouble you. We two women have quite a lot of stuff."
"Come on, don't be like that. I'm your student; what's the trouble?"
Unable to refuse Shen Yuan, Lih Xiao simply agreed. She couldn't help but glance at Shen Yuan in the driver's seat, his lean face with defined features. From the perspective of the opposite sex, he was somewhat handsome.
She thought about how he had given her a bag before and often deliberately created opportunities for close contact. Now, he was offering to help her move.
Lih Xiao now had enough reasons to be sure that Shen Yuan was quite interested in her.
Just then, Lih Xiao suddenly remembered the LV bag. He had said it was a high-quality replica, but given Shen Yuan's current financial ability, it was very likely the real deal.
"Shen Yuan, do you remember the bag you gave me?"
"Remember it? What about it?"
Shen Yuan thought that was his very first bucket of gold; how could he forget.
"Last time you said it was a high-quality replica...."
"Actually, it's the real thing, but it doesn't matter. After all, your student is not short of money now, and there's nothing wrong with giving a gift to a teacher he likes...."
Shen Yuan's words slipped out, and he quickly corrected himself: "No, what I mean is there's nothing wrong with giving a bag to a teacher he respects."
Lih Xiao's cheeks flushed, and she felt it somehow wasn't right, considering the age difference and that they were in a teacher-student relationship.
"Counselor, if you're going to say no or something, you don't have to. Anyway, I won't give up."
Shen Yuan turned his head and flashed Lih Xiao a grin, showing off his pearly whites.
Logically speaking, with a Feel-good Index of 67, Lih Xiao's feelings for him had already surpassed the normal range for a teacher-student relationship, so he was convinced that the counselor did have a slight fondness for him.
However, the counselor was not like a certain chemistry teacher; she had a strong sense of professional ethics, and it would take some time for her to reverse her position.
So, it was like simmering an old hen to make soup; you need to stew it gently.
Lih Xiao couldn't help but take a few more glances at Shen Yuan, who was driving but said nothing more.
Forty minutes later, the two arrived at Nanjing Restaurant. Kong Zongping and Lui Zhaojiang had arrived a few minutes earlier and were waiting at the entrance.
The four entered the reserved private dining room, and Kong Zongping, having ordered the dishes, asked with a smile, "Shen Yuan, can you drink alcohol?"
"I'll follow Secretary Kong's lead."
Shen Yuan used to frequent nightclubs and had a decent tolerance for liquor.
After the food was served in stages, aside from Lih Xiao, the three men clinked glasses a few times, and soon, all were flushed.
Dinner involved casual banter led by Kong Zongping, discussing some trivial matters at school and the mentality and planning for the future of college students. Additionally, he asked Shen Yuan to offer some opinions about the school.
