Taking Away The Stars Chapter 7

Zhao Xiaojing graduated from the School of Management of China University of Finance and Economics, and then came to teach at the Normal University.

An old alumnus from the Department of Economics is coming to give a lecture at the Normal University today. It is indeed a good learning opportunity for students, but the teacher is asked to go there purely to make up the numbers. Therefore, all these miscellaneous tasks fall on the young teacher's head.

There's nothing you can do about it, everyone goes through this.

But Zhao Xiaojing really couldn't go today, because her mother introduced her to a blind date, a rich overseas returnee.

It doesn't matter whether he is a sea turtle or a returnee. Zhao Xiaojing was stunned when she heard the word "rich". She must find a way to win him over. So, the two of them made a lunch appointment. She couldn't listen to the report meeting, so she had to ask her good colleague, our hungry and dizzy little unlucky Lina He, for help.

With the spirit of dedication of "rather demolish ten temples than ruin a marriage", Lina He listened to a long and boring report.

The old man on the stage is already 80 years old. It is not accurate to say that he is an alumnus of the Normal University. He was just an honorary professor of the Normal University for a period of time. The old man's glasses are about to slide from the bridge of his nose to his chin. He is so weak that he comes to teach these kids practical skills. It is really a waste of his talent and the students' time.

Lina He was drowsy in the audience when a phone call came in to Tai City.

Michael Zheng briefly reported Lina He's morning schedule to Liam Wanqi, saying that there was nothing unusual. Liam Wanqi and his group were having lunch near the airport, and he was the only one who went out, so the remaining dozens of people didn't dare to pick up their chopsticks.

Fortunately, halfway through the call, he asked Ethan to tell everyone not to wait for him, and walked away a little further away to allow everyone some freedom.

After the report was completed, there was a moment of silence on the other end. This was the first time Michael Zheng had a direct call with Liam Wanqi. Ethan only told him that this person was easy to serve and would not embarrass his servants. He thought that not talking was his habit. So he was about to hang up the phone, but someone suddenly spoke on the other end.

"Where's the meal?"

This question confused Michael Zheng, a 1.80-meter-tall man. It took him a long time to realize that the person he was asking about was the one who was dozing off in the lecture hall.

He just reported only the most important things, and he really didn't pay attention to these details. When Liam Wanqi asked him this, he realized that he didn't satisfy everyone. Next time, it won't be on the schedule. He has to record the time and minute when Lina He went to the bathroom and how long she stayed there.

Fortunately, the man didn't say anything else and just said "thank you for your hard work" and sent him away. He took the sky-high hiring fee from his superiors and regretted it the more he thought about it. Ethan had clearly told him that this woman was the one the gentleman held in his heart and there must be no mistakes. He knew that rich men would keep several women, so he looked at Lina He with some caution.

However, taking money without doing anything, or not doing the job completely, is not Michael Zheng's style.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly raised his mobile phone in the direction of Lina He, and a photo of Lina He dozing off was sent to Liam Wanqi's text message box.

The flight was at 14:45. At 14:40, everyone saw Liam Wanqi take out his cell phone and take a look. Then they finally saw that the boss's face, which had been dark all day, eased a little.

Liam Wanqi saw Lina He sleeping with her mouth slightly open in the photo, and then saw the old man reading a script on the podium, and he understood. He made a phone call to someone unknown.

All I knew was that Lina He was sleeping soundly when someone hit her head.

When I opened my eyes, it was the old gentleman who had just given the speech.

Looking around, most of the people around had left, and Lina He realized how embarrassed she had been. Mr. Qi didn't mind at all, and just smiled and asked her to go with him to eat.

Lina He had a very good relationship with her grandparents when she was young, so she has a good impression of elderly people and soon became familiar with Mr. Qi.

Seeing that this lively little girl was bold in her words but respectful, Old Qi thought that the boy from the Liam Wanqi family had some vision.

The school leaders had arranged a dining place for Mr. Qi. Many people lined up to meet him, but were blocked by his secretary. He said he was unwell and had to go back to rest. In fact, the old man and the young were having a happy meal in the restaurant!

In the middle of the conversation, the secretary came in to answer the phone. It was Mr. Qi's granddaughter, who studied architecture and was a rising star in the architectural world. She had just won the Pritzker Prize and had opened her own studio in Florence. She was working very hard. Mr. Qi despised his granddaughter's arrogant attitude and scolded her on the phone. I don't know what the other end said to cheer the old man up, and Mr. Qi's serious face softened again.

It was a video call. Old Qi waved his hand and Daniel Qi saw Lina He standing next to his grandfather. He felt that she was familiar and was about to ask, but his grandfather had already hung up the call.

She laughed and cursed in a foreign country: "Bad old man!"
