Chapter 300: It's Her
Half an hour later, a Mercedes-Benz S600 slowly drove to the gate of the Purple Gold Harbor Campus of Zhijiang University.
This is the main campus of Zhijiang University; the whole campus is grand in scale, yet it exudes a sense of historical era.
After all, it's a century-old prestigious school.
Lin Yuan wore a mask and glanced at the old guard at the gate guardhouse.
The guard had been replaced, but that old guard from back then was still there.
It's been ten years since we last met; the old guard, who was fifty back then, has struggled on to sixty, and is probably about to retire now. The old guard already has a full head of white hair.
Lin Yuan rolled down the car window and said to the guard, "Director Su of the Su Group is here to attend the centennial anniversary."
Saying that, Lin Yuan handed Su Monong's invitation card to the guard.
The guard took a look, then let them through.
The Mercedes-Benz slowly entered Zhijiang University.
The familiar university environment came into view, and Lin Yuan felt somewhat emotional.
I never expected I would still come.
After ten years apart, this place hasn't changed at all.
Zhijiang University's centennial celebration will be held on the outdoor sports field.
The weather is great today, and the temperature is not high.
It's over twenty degrees, already a cool autumn temperature.
Holding outdoor activities is just right.
On the huge sports field, a super-large stage has been set up.
On the stage, Zhijiang University's school song is playing.
Below the stage are seats for thousands of guests.
Those invited today are all outstanding former graduates of Zhijiang University, as well as many excellent renowned entrepreneurs from Hangcheng.
Also, some outstanding current university students have come to observe and learn.
Su Monong brought her daughter and Lin Yuan to a guest seat near the front row and sat down.
Lin Yuan kept his mask on the whole time and refused to take it off.
Moreover, he also wore a peaked cap on his head, wrapping himself up tightly.
"Why are you wrapped up so tightly? You look really sneaky." Su Zhiyuan looked at Lin Yuan speechlessly.
"Cough, cough, cough—I've caught a cold and fever, feeling awful. I can't help it." Lin Yuan deliberately coughed, pretending to have a cold.
"Tsk, really weak and sickly." Su Zhiyuan gave him a glance, but still said concernedly, "How about I get you a cup of hot milk tea? Drinking more hot tea when you have a cold helps recovery."
At that moment, Mother Su Monong's gaze came over.
Su Monong's gaze was icy, almost able to stare her daughter to death.
Su Zhiyuan sensed her mother's murderous look, quickly shut her mouth, and dared not speak to Lin Yuan.
Just as Lin Yuan and the mother-daughter pair sat down, suddenly two familiar graceful figures appeared from the next table.
"Director Su, you arrived so early." Yuan Hongli, wearing a sexy formal dress, her black long hair flowing smoothly over her shoulders, also came to attend.
Following behind Yuan Hongli was the group's vice president, Sun Weiwei.
Sun Weiwei also wore a stunning evening gown, her beauty beyond compare.
Following behind Sun Weiwei was the sycophant Lu Chengyu.
Lin Yuan saw these three people appear and was somewhat surprised.
Huh? Why did these three also come?
At that moment, Yuan Hongli and Sun Weiwei also noticed the masked man sitting in the chair.
"Huh? Director Su, who is this?" Yuan Hongli asked in surprise.
This man wore a mask and a peaked cap on his face, wrapping up his features tightly, just like a pervert; he really gives off a sneaky vibe.
"Lin Yuan, he's caught a cold, his body is too weak." Su Zhiyuan said from beside him.
"Eh?" Yuan Hongli froze for a moment.
Lin Yuan?
How did he end up wrapped up like this?
At first glance, I even thought he was that perverted thief.
"Hehe, Manager Yuan, you're here too, what a coincidence." Lin Yuan greeted Yuan Hongli awkwardly.
However, he never took off his mask the whole time.
"Hmph." Sun Weiwei stood behind him and let out a cold snort.
Lin Yuan realized and hurriedly greeted Sun Weiwei as well, "Vice President Sun, you're here too, what a coincidence hehe..."
Yuan Hongli then sat down next to Lin Yuan.
Sun Weiwei sat down beside Yuan Hongli.
Risk Control Director Lu Chengyu gave Lin Yuan a cold sideways glance, shook his head full of disdain, and then sat down beside Sun Weiwei.
But Lu Chengyu sitting beside her obviously made Sun Weiwei a little impatient.
"Manager Yuan, why are you also here to attend the centennial celebration? Weren't you an overseas student?" Lin Yuan asked curiously.
"I got my bachelor's from Zhijiang University; I only went abroad for my master's." Yuan Hongli explained.
"Oh, I see... you really are a top student." Lin Yuan nodded awkwardly.
That made him a bit surprised.
I never expected Yuan Hongli to also be a graduate of Zhijiang.
As expected of a professional manager, she truly is top‑student caliber.
"Still okay, Vice President Sun also graduated from Zhijiang, there are quite a few people who graduated from Zhijiang University." Yuan Hongli said.
Lin Yuan glanced at Sun Weiwei in surprise?
I didn't expect that Sun Weiwei would actually also be a graduate of Zhijiang University?
She really is a top student.
"General Manager Sun really is a top student, very impressive, very impressive." Lin Yuan chuckled.
However, at this moment, Su Zhiyuan was somewhat displeased.
Su Zhiyuan's grades were slightly worse than Sun Weiwei's; she was only three points short, failed to get into Upper University, and could only attend another first-tier university.
Seeing Lin Yuan praise another woman, Su Zhiyuan was furious; she furtively extended her high-heeled shoe toward Lin Yuan's foot and stepped on him hard.
Lin Yuan immediately obediently shut his mouth...
Soon, the Zhijiang University centennial celebration officially began.
The incumbent president of Zhijiang University, Du Yunian, personally took the stage and delivered the opening speech.
Du Yunian, in his fifties, spoke on stage, passionate and stirring.
Lin Yuan saw President Du on stage.
He lowered his head further, covering his face with a hat, Lin Yuan feared being recognized by President Du.
Back then, when he withdrew from studies, President Du repeatedly sought him out for talks, hoping to persuade him to stay in school.
But Lin Yuan refused them all.
I didn't expect that after ten years apart, President Du is still in office and looks not a day older.
After President Du finished delivering his opening speech,
The host went on stage and began announcing the names of the thousands of guests attending today's centennial celebration.
Among them, Lin Yuan also heard the name of outstanding entrepreneur partner, Su Monong.
Su Monong did not graduate from Zhijiang, but her grades were also not bad; she attended a key university in another province back then.
After graduating, she returned to Zhijiang Province to start a business, and is now an outstanding female entrepreneur.
Lin Yuan also heard several other familiar names: 'Yuan Hongli', 'Sun Weiwei',...
Lin Yuan sat in the audience, constantly wearing a mask, head lowered, scrolling through Douyin, keeping a very low profile.
He did not want to run into any acquaintances from Zhijiang University.
Risk Control Director Lu Chengyu glanced at Lin Yuan, sneering, "Heh, Lin Yuan, you junior college student still playing with your phone with your head down? You deserve to be doing so poorly! You should look up and listen! How outstanding are these excellent graduates, those who can graduate from Zhijiang University as fresh graduates! You should study more instead of sitting in the audience playing with your phone."
Lin Yuan gave him a look, coldly retorting, "Director Lu, you've been going on and on, yet you're not a Zhijiang University graduate—what are you pretending to be?"
"You… what do you mean, kid? I at least graduated from a first-tier university with a master's degree! You, a lousy junior college student, what are you shouting about?" Lu Chengyu, furious at being retorted, directly cursed.
He was today specifically assigned as Sun Weiwei's driver, bringing her to attend the celebration.
Although Sun Weiwei tried hard to refuse, Lu Chengyu insisted on being a sycophant, so Sun Weiwei let him come along.
"What's wrong with being a junior college student? You keep flaunting your third-rate diploma from a no-name university, blowing your mother?" Lin Yuan also got angry and directly retorted.
Since working at the Goddess Bar, Lin Yuan's scolding skills have improved greatly.
He can now spew vulgar street insults as soon as he opens his mouth, and his ability to insult people improves quickly.
"You… you you!!" Lu Chengyu, drenched in dog blood from the scolding, was practically exploding with anger.
He wanted to rebut, but in the art of scolding he was no match for Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan's scolding abilities were all learned from the staff and security in bars and nightclubs.
Every word is a gem, every sentence insulting is invigorating.
"What the hell are you? You stupid-ass research student, you stutter when you speak, and you're still pretending to be your mother's ass." Lin Yuan spared no mercy, unleashing a tirade of insults at Lu Chengyu.
"Pfft!" Su Zhiyuan beside him finally couldn't hold back a snicker.
Even Yuan Hongli was desperately pressing her lips to hold back laughter.
Although Sun Weiwei's pretty face remained cold, the corner of her gorgeous red lips… still quietly curled up a bit.
She was also pleased to see Lu Chengyu being scolded.
This lackey is too annoying.
Now that Lin Yuan can help teach this lackey a lesson, Sun Weiwei suddenly finds it rather interesting.
Moreover, Lin Yuan is her only man.
Watching her man bully others, Sun Weiwei feels rather good.
At that moment, Su Monong coldly barked, "Are you done arguing? This is the centennial celebration venue—don't make me lose face! Shut up!"
Lin Yuan and Lu Chengyu could only obediently shut up.
However, Lu Chengyu felt utterly stifled inside.
He had just been scolded with no power to retort, and he was so angry he almost spat blood.
Meanwhile, not far away in the guest section, a man in his thirties suddenly began walking slowly toward Sun Weiwei.
"Weiwei junior, long time no see." The man in his thirties, a senior, said gently.
Sun Weiwei looked up in surprise at the man, "Senior Wang, long time no see."
This man is Wang Huai Feng, who once attended the same institution as Sun Weiwei and was her senior by one year.
Back then he desperately pursued Sun Weiwei for four whole years, but ended up failing to win her over.
I didn't expect that at today's centennial celebration he would run into Sun Weiwei again.
Wang Huai Feng began chatting warmly with Sun Weiwei.
Sun Weiwei studied medicine in college, and Wang Huai Feng also graduated with a medicine degree.
Wang Huai Feng began to show off his current career achievements.
Wang Huai Feng now works at a key tertiary hospital in Hangcheng, serving as a department head with a high rank; he has become a renowned doctor in Hangcheng.
Wang Huai Feng shows off in various ways.
Sun Weiwei is sick of listening to him.
At this point, Lu Chengyu steps forward, wanting to help Sun Weiwei fend off this senior Wang.
But Wang Huai Feng's aura is clearly superior to Lu Chengyu's.
Lu Chengyu was left speechless after Wang Huai Feng hit him with several rounds of professional jargon.
Lu Chengyu could only stand to the side, unable to get a word in.
Sun Weiwei gave Lu Chengyu a disdainful glance.
This sycophant is truly useless.
He can't compare to my man, Lin Yuan.
Sun Weiwei, tired of Wang Huai Feng's annoying flattery, couldn't hold back; she took out her phone and secretly sent Lin Yuan a WeChat message: 【Help me get rid of this guy, I'll give you a reward.】
Lin Yuan was scrolling Douyin when he saw Sun Weiwei's WeChat message; he blinked and replied: 【What reward?】
Sun Weiwei: 【I'll reward you—tonight you can lick me.】
Seeing the message, Lin Yuan frowned and couldn't be bothered to reply.
This woman, is she crazy?
Who would want to lick you? Lin Yuan isn't short of women.
Seeing Lin Yuan not replying, Sun Weiwei sent another message: 【Get rid of him, I'll pay you 5000 yuan—I'll send you 2000 as a deposit.】
Saying that, Sun Weiwei transferred 2000 yuan via WeChat.
Seeing the real money, Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes, satisfied, and clicked to accept the payment.
Then Lin Yuan stood up, pretending to go to the restroom.
He walked toward Sun Weiwei and Wang Huai Feng……
As Lin Yuan approached Wang Huai Feng, he deliberately stuck out his leg to trip him.
With a 'Bang!', Wang Huai Feng was tripped and fell flat on his face.
'Sorry, sir, the path is too narrow—I accidentally tripped you,' Lin Yuan feigned an apology.
'Watch where you're going, you idiot!' Wang Huai Feng angrily shouted.
Lin Yuan pretended to help Wang Huai Feng up, then as he walked away, a silver needle in his hand flew out silently and pierced Wang Huai Feng's belt buckle.
Instantly, the belt buckle snapped.
With a 'Whoosh!', Wang Huai Feng's belt broke and his suit pants fell down.
In an instant, only his underpants remained.
The scene instantly became awkward.
'Ah! What are you doing, pervert?' Sun Weiwei shouted in panic.
Everyone's gaze turned to Wang Huai Feng.
Wang Huai Feng was actually wearing purple underpants—damn, that's flashy and perverted!
'Ah…… Miss Sun…… sorry…… I……' Wang Huai Feng jumped, his face flushing red, he yanked up his pants and turned to run……
Lin Yuan smirked, walked past the VIP seats and headed toward the restroom.
But as he passed the VIP seats, he suddenly saw a stunning figure beneath the stage.
Lin Yuan's gaze was instantly caught by that figure.
Huh?
She wore a black velvet-feel evening gown that traced her swan-like neck and the gentle curve of her shoulders and back. The skirt flared slightly from her slim waist, stopping just above the knee to reveal a fair, well‑shaped calf; with each step it swayed, scattering fine glints like stars drifting in the night.
Her figure was perfectly slender—not skinny but with a slim waist full of curves, her back radiating lively vitality. Her black hair was loosely tied behind her head, a few strands falling at her neck; as she lifted her hand to adjust her earrings, the hair tips swayed, giving that back view an indescribable sense of familiarity.
Where had I seen her before? Lin Yuan's steps halted, his brows furrowed, his eyes locked on that figure.
Just then, the figure seemed to sense something and turned slightly sideways.
Sunlight fell on her face, tracing her delicate jawline, casting a faint shadow from her lashes, her nose small and pert, her lips coated in a dusky rose lipstick; when she smiled, two shallow dimples appeared—so beautiful it made one's heart skip, even breathing unconsciously slowed.
Lin Yuan's pupils contracted sharply, his heart jolted as if struck.
Is it her?
