Chapter 65 - Lecture
Qing University was one of the top universities in China, and it was also a place that countless students dreamed of.
The car entered a thick, archway-like gatehouse. The university’s name was written on the gatehouse with strong and powerful characters. Passing through this gate and driving on the main road, what greeted them was a sense of youthful vigor.
On both sides of the road were thick and tall ginkgoes and sycamore trees. The lush green leaves cast a green shade on the main road. Students in groups of two or three, carrying books, riding bicycles, or whispering, were scattered across the campus.
It had been a long time since the Qing Dynasty. Under the layers of green plants, some ancient buildings stretched out from the lush green leaves with red-painted eaves, as if they were embracing the future of this era through time.
Elder Zhong’s lecture was held in the auditorium. After many turns, the car finally arrived at the entrance of the auditorium.
“Madam, I’ll pick you up here in two hours.”
The chauffeur stopped the car and welcomed Xia Wanyuan.
“Alright.”
After Xia Wanyuan got out of the car, the chauffeur drove away. Considering that no one in school would notice who she was and that she was being extremely disrespectful to Elder Zhong, Xia Wanyuan removed her mask and glasses.
Elder Zhong had an extremely high status, and those who could attend his lecture were no ordinary people. At this moment, all kinds of elites were gathered at the entrance of the hall. Other than Xia Wanyuan’s extremely eye-catching appearance, most of the people present did not recognize her.
After all, others had defamed her on Weibo, but in reality, not many people knew about Xia Wanyuan.
It was already 2: 50 pm. The people at the door began to enter one after another. Xia Wanyuan followed behind the team and slowly approached the review entrance.
“Miss, please show me your invitation.”
The person in charge of the student union, who was dressed in formal attire, reached out to Xia Wanyuan somewhat awkwardly. As the president of the student union, he had helped the school organize so many activities, but he had never met such a good-looking guest. His young and naive face flushed red.
“Invitation? Elder Zhong called me about it, I don’t have an invitation.”
Elder Zhong had only called Xia Wanyuan but had not given her an invitation.
“I’m sorry, you’re not allowed to enter without an invitation.”
Although the little sister in front of him was indeed beautiful, he could not let Xia Wanyuan in without an invitation.
“She’s my female companion. She came with me.”
A pleasant male voice sounded from behind her. Xia Wanyuan turned around and met a pair of familiar eyes. It was the man she had met on the street the last time.
Her memory was good to begin with, not to mention that the man in front of her had an outstanding appearance. His amorous peach blossom eyes were filled with smiles. Even though he was wearing a formal suit, it made him look sinister and his entire temperament was outstanding.
“You..”
]”What a coincidence.” Before Xia Wanyuan could finish her sentence, the man in front of her spoke.
Xuan Sheng was pleasantly surprised. He had been looking for all sorts of opportunities to get close to Xia Wanyuan, but he did not expect to bump into her at Elder Zhong’s lecture.
As soon as he alighted the car, he noticed the petite figure. Although he could only see her back, that temperament, which was as aloof as the peak of a snowy mountain, he instantly confirmed that this was Xia Wanyuan.
“CEO Xuan?!!”
A person from the business world who was also waiting on the side immediately recognized the genius of the financial world, Xuan Sheng. Xuan Sheng was from the Xuan family and had extremely high investments himself. He had an outstanding performance in the international financial market of Erhua Street.
As a new talent in the domestic financial world, he was naturally well known in the business world.
“CEO Xuan, please come in.” Even though he did not know Xuan Sheng, the president of the Student Union knew that Xuan Sheng was the biggest sponsor. Furthermore, people who studied finance knew that Xuan Sheng was a talented investor in the country, so he invited him in respectfully.
The President of the Student Union was a little stunned. The guests today were all more good-looking than the other. Weren’t they supposed to be brainless lectures? Why were these people not only smart, but also so good-looking?
“This lady is with me.” Xuan Sheng looked at Xia Wanyuan’s beautiful profile, his eyes burning.
“Miss, please come in.”
Since Xuan Sheng had said so, they could not stop Xia Wanyuan outside.
“No need. I don’t have an invitation, so I won’t be going in.”
Unexpectedly, Xia Wanyuan declined.
Speaking of which, this was the second time she and Xuan Sheng had met. However, the overly passionate look in this man’s eyes made her instinctively feel uncomfortable.
Having been flattered for a long time, Xuan Sheng was used to being obedient and boasting wherever he went. Hearing Xia Wanyuan’s rejection, displeasure subconsciously flashed across Xuan Sheng’s eyes. Xia Wanyuan noticed this and took a step back.
Secretary Dong from the other companies standing behind Xuan Sheng saw that Xia Wanyuan did not give him any face. “Miss, CEO Xuan is giving you face. It’s difficult to get a ticket for Elder Zhong’s lecture. If you don’t follow us in, you won’t be able to enter.”
He had thought that these words would please Xuan Sheng. However, Xuan Sheng turned around and looked at her. The coldness in his eyes was no longer as warm as before.
Secretary Dong was the most observant. Seeing that he had said something wrong, he hurriedly shut his mouth. Xuan Sheng was about to say something when he saw a girl who looked like a student walk out.
“Hello, Senior Li.” The student council president nodded at the girl. Li Nian was a master’s student personally taught by Elder Zhong and was also a senior in the finance department.
“Miss Xia, the teacher asked me to come out and take a look. She said that you haven’t gone in yet.”

After replying to the president of the student union, Li Nian quickly walked to Xia Wanyuan. “The teacher has been asking if you’re here. Quick, go in. The teacher has reserved a seat in the front row for you.”
“I don’t have an invitation.”
Ignoring the shocked gazes of the crowd, Xia Wanyuan followed Li Nian into the hall.
“Aiyo, it’s my mistake. I thought the teacher called you and forgot to send you an invitation. It’s fine, you can come in with me.”
The student council president behind her was confused.?Where did this important person come from? It was actually Elder Zhong who had personally invited her.?The arrogant Secretary Dong looked enviously and resentfully at Xia Wanyuan’s back. After all this, she didn’t need anyone to bring her in.
Xuan Sheng also followed Xia Wanyuan and the others in. At this moment, there was less of a frivolous smile in his eyes. Clearly, he did not expect that Xia Wanyuan was still in contact with Elder Zhong.
Outside the hall, the finance reporters were flipping through their cameras. “There are so many people attending Elder Zhong’s lecture. They’re all big names in the industry.”
“It’s a pity that we can’t get tickets. If we can go in and listen to Master’s advice, maybe my stocks can be saved.”
“Hey, look, doesn’t this person look a little familiar?”
Suddenly, someone exclaimed. Everyone’s attention was attracted to a picture.
