“Right now?”

“Yes, you have to take your places within an hour!”

When Ji Ying was still in school, she would occasionally do part time jobs to fill her wallet, mainly because her living expenses had been deducted again and again. This had all started after her father married Jiang Hong. That was why she would usually look for paid part time work.

After changing into blue cheongsams, Ji Ying and Shu Lanqing followed the Vice President to the school’s newly built library.

When they arrived, there were already more than a dozen other classmates who worked as attendants gathered here.

These attendants were all young and beautiful students. When they gathered together, they would chatter and gossip about all kinds of things.

“Have you heard? This time, it’s not just the school leaders who are cutting the ribbon for our school’s new library. Even the newly appointed mayor of the city is here. He’s known as the nation’s husband. He’s young and promising. More importantly, he’s handsome and good-looking. I won’t be able to stop my heart from going wild when I get to see him today!”

Ji Ying had just arrived when she heard this. She was stunned. Why was this guy like a phantom? He seemed to be everywhere she went!

“No, I can’t stay here any longer. I have to leave!” She turned around and was about to leave. Unfortunately, the Vice President was quick to react and caught her red-handed.

“What are you doing? The ceremony is about to begin, so quickly line up and maintain a good posture and smile. Don’t drop the ball, or else you won’t be paid, and you’ll get a demerit.”

At this moment, the principal and his entourage were already walking over. On both sides of the road, reporters and cameramen were crowding around.

“It seems like I can’t escape for a while!”

Ji Ying sighed helplessly when she saw this scene. She could only line up by the roadside.

The principal and the other school leaders walked over quickly. All of them had serious expressions on their faces, and they did not smile or speak. It was as if they were waiting for the arrival of some important figure.

Soon, a few low-key black cars of the same model drove into the campus.

Ji Ying was arranged to hold a tray with scissors, which had been arranged for beforehand.

As the car drove in, Ji Ying saw someone walk forward to open the car door. Then, she saw Zhao Weili get out of the car. His slender figure was very eye-catching in the crowd. After patting himself down a little, he walked toward the crowd.

He had a gentle smile on his face and his footsteps were steady. He looked up, and his gaze swept past another attendant and found Ji Ying’s figure in the crowd. His eyes flickered slightly.

Ji Ying’s heart clenched slightly, and she quickly lowered her eyes, not daring to meet Zhao Weili’s gaze. However, in her heart, she felt that the other party’s gaze had clearly stopped on her for a brief moment.

At this moment, the principal led a group of school leaders to give them a warm welcome.

“Mayor Zhao, welcome! It’s our honor to have you take time out of your busy schedule to cut the ribbon for our university’s new library!”

“A library is the most important building in an educational institution, and a university’s library is naturally even more important. I’m very honored to be able to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony as a guest!”

“Haha, Mr. Zhao, you’re too polite. Please!” The principal was very respectful to the newly appointed mayor and hoped to leave a good impression on him.

The school had prepared very well for this ceremony, and the venue’s layout was also very appropriate. It was not the kind of commercial ribbon-cutting ceremony with a cluster of flowers, nor was it the kind of grand ceremony prepared for a big project. It was simple, clean, and stylish.

In order to highlight the importance of this ribbon-cutting ceremony, they even invited a host from the Yanzhou TV station to cover the event. There were reporters and cameramen who recorded the entire process and would broadcast it on the evening news later.

In addition, all kinds of props used for the ribbon-cutting were also carefully prepared. Red ribbons, white gloves, trays, carpets, and so on were all top quality.

As the most important person at the event, Zhao Weili was quickly invited to the center of the venue.

In an instant, some lights flashed, and that made Ji Ying feel uneasy.

Zhao Weili walked over and stood beside Ji Ying. His gaze swept across Ji Ying’s small face with a hint of understanding. That made Ji Ying feel a little uncomfortable, especially after what had happened the other night. It really made her feel very troubled.

Zhao Weili simply stood there, his unique scent seeping into Ji Ying’s nose, causing her body to stiffen.
