Qiao Xi followed Zhou Guanjin to the school board’s office.
Zhou Guanjin poured a cup of tea and placed it beside her hand. “Sister Qiao Xi, why didn’t you tell me before you came? I could have gone to the university’s gate to pick you up.”
“No need, it’s not like it’s my first time here.” Qiao Xi took a sip of tea and listened to Zhou Guanjin talking.
“You’re attending the competition as Gu Shan this time. Are you thinking of revealing your identity? If Master knew about this, he would definitely be overjoyed.”
Zhou Guanjin and Qiao Xi had the same master.
It was just that Zhou Guanjin only managed to study under him through his father’s connections. Meanwhile, their master spent a year convincing and persuading Qiao Xi to study under him.
It was obvious who had a higher status.
Therefore, although Zhou Guanjin was Qiao Xi’s senior, he actually took Qiao Xi as his elder sister!
It was just that Qiao Xi was too low-profile. She took on the pseudonym of Gu Shan and practically never showed her face in front of outsiders. Their master had complained to him more than once that it was not easy for him to finally have a genius disciple, yet he felt so depressed because his disciple was too low-profile and would not show off her talents!
At the mention of Master, a trace of warmth flashed through Qiao Xi’s icy-cold eyes. “How’s Master?”
“He’s doing well.”
Zhou Guanjin dragged a chair over and sat beside Qiao Xi. “Sister Qiao Xi, you haven’t confirmed your partner for this quarter, right? Do you have any ideas?”
Qiao Xi glanced at him. “Get straight to the point.”
Zhou Guanjin instantly sat up straight. “I know a friend whose company wants to work with you. The company’s design department has sent you countless emails, but you ignored them all. After I had some drinks one time, I accidentally told my friend about our relationship, so he begged me to help him…”
Qiao Xi propped her chin lazily. “Which friend? What’s the name of the company?”
She had too many emails in her inbox and did not have time to read them one by one.
“You should have heard of it, Gu Corporation. It’s the most awesome one in Li City!”
“Cough!”
Qiao Xi almost choked and needed to catch her breath. Zhou Guanjin hurriedly poured water for her and patted her back. After she calmed down, he asked carefully, “What do you think? Do you think it’s okay?”
Qiao Xi waved her hand tiredly. “We’ll see.”
Zhou Guanjin wanted to cry.
He had promised Gu Zheng that he would handle Gu Shan for him!
At the same time, at the gate of Li City University.
A group of university leaders dressed in suits was standing there in a uniform line to welcome the arrival of the big shots.
The black Maybach came to a silent stop. Song Shiyu got out of the front passenger seat and glanced at the university leaders. He shifted his eyes to the back of the car and opened the door, bowing slightly. “President.”
The person’s black leather shoes came into view first, followed by his long legs that were wrapped with the pants.
The moment Gu Zheng got out of the car, the surrounding people gasped.
He had a high nose bridge and deep eyes. His chiseled face was expressionless and cold.
“President Gu.”
The university leaders quickly came back to their senses and escorted Gu Zheng in.
When Zhou Guanjin received the news, he looked at Qiao Xi and tried to persuade her again. “Sister Qiao Xi, are you really not going to see my friend? Gu Corporation is one of the most powerful companies in Li City. You’ll definitely not lose out by working with them.”
Qiao Xi waved her hand. “The fashion design competition is about to start. Let’s talk about your friend later.”
Zhou Guanjin was helpless.
…
In the chancellor’s office.
When Zhou Guanjin came over, Gu Zheng was done having a deep discussion with the university leaders.
“I heard that Gu Shan will be attending the competition as a judge. Have you seen her?”
Zhou Guanjin did not even have the chance to relax when he heard Gu Zheng’s question. He shifted his body uncomfortably. “I have, but…”
Fine, Gu Zheng knew what he meant without him saying it.
“It’s doomed.” He scoffed.
Zhou Guanjin: “!”
‘If you have the ability, go and settle that person yourself!’
The chancellor looked at the two of them and asked carefully, “President Gu, do you wish to compete for the chance to work with Master Gu Shan this quarter?”
Gu Zheng glanced at him without saying anything.
The chancellor laughed awkwardly. He had indeed said the wrong thing. Which corporation would not want to have the chance to work with Master Gu Shan?
“Master Gu Shan has always been an eccentric person. If you’re struggling to try to get the chance to work with her, I have a suggestion.”
The chancellor kindly suggested to Gu Zheng, “Our university has a student called Qiao Rou. Her designing skills are one of the best in the university and she has a very unique style. Most importantly, she’s Master Gu Shan’s disciple and has received personal guidance from her…”
If he could not get to work with Master Gu Shan, working with Qiao Rou would be good too.
