A glint of intelligence flashed in Sheng Jianan’s eyes, and the corner of his mouth involuntarily curved up a little.
From presenting the topic to Sheng Jianan to finishing the guidance, it only took forty minutes, but Tang Yanqi felt she gained a lot.
Studying economics was not what Tang Yanqi liked, but just at that moment, she discovered that this subject she never liked actually had its own attractions.
Tang Yanqi didn’t know when Sheng Jianan booked a place for dinner, but after leaving K University, he directly took them to a western restaurant that seemed beyond their means. Qi Cheng looked at the prices on the menu, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
Eating a set menu here, from appetizer to dessert, could wipe out three months of her living expenses.
Qi Cheng swallowed her saliva and gently kicked Tang Yanqi under the table, leaning close to her ear and whispering, "Tangtang, it’s so expensive."
Tang Yanqi didn’t know what Sheng Jianan was up to, but she didn’t want to owe him any more favors. Just as she was about to say, "Then order less," she heard Qi Cheng continue, "I must eat more."
Tang Yanqi rolled her eyes speechlessly, finished ordering, and took advantage of Sheng Jianan’s trip to the restroom to have Qi Cheng grab her arm with a mischievous grin, "Tangtang, how does it feel to be guided by President Sheng?"
Tang Yanqi sighed deeply, "I’ve understood one principle."
"The gap between people is truly greater than that between humans and dogs."
Qi Cheng was stunned for a second, then burst out laughing, clutching her stomach, "Tangtang, oh Tangtang, even you’re having this day? How is it? Our Business School’s top student finally met her match today?"
Tang Yanqi looked at Qi Cheng, her smile growing gentler, "No, I just made a comparison."
"Comparison? What comparison?"
Qi didn’t follow Tang Yanqi’s train of thought, was stunned for several seconds before reacting and jumped up, "Oh my, Tangtang, you... are ruthless!"
Catching a glimpse of Sheng Jianan already returning from the restroom, Qi could only mutter these words begrudgingly and obediently sat back down.
The meal was actually a bit awkward, although Qi Cheng knew well the relationship between Tang Yanqi and Sheng Jianan, she had to pretend not to know. And Tang Yanqi, apart from saying "thank you" to Sheng Jianan at the beginning, had almost zero interaction throughout.
The atmosphere was certainly awkward, but for Qi Cheng, it was nonexistent. From the moment the first dish was served, her attention was wholly focused on the food.
Qi prided herself on being a considerate person; having been treated to such a lavish dinner by Sheng Jianan, she naturally wouldn’t play gooseberry after having her fill.
Upon exiting the restaurant, before Sheng Jianan could say anything, Qi Cheng already spoke up, "I have something to do later, Tangtang, I won’t be going with you, bye-bye."
After saying this, Qi Cheng dashed away. Tang Yanqi had words on the tip of her tongue, but Qi Cheng was already far gone.
The sky had darkened, streetlights and neon signs were already lit. Sheng Jianan looked at Tang Yanqi, her smooth black hair, slender body, lightly shivered as a breeze passed by. Sheng Jianan’s eyes darkened, he removed his jacket and placed it over her shoulders.
"Let’s go visit Grandpa at the hospital."
Tang Yanqi wanted to say something, but Sheng Jianan interrupted her. Looking at the jacket on her shoulders, it turned out they were going to the hospital, no wonder.
