Lin Fengyi's expression immediately changed. "Did Yan Heqing send a video to Lin Fengzhi?" he asked. "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't associate with many people."
"Don't try to fool me," Lin Fengzhi. "You often stay out all night; don't think I don't know."
So that's what it was about. Lin Fengyi breathed a sigh of relief. "You don't understand adult social interactions. Okay, don't change the subject, you're still young..."
"I'm already an adult!" Lin Fengzhi interrupted him. "So, are you going to teach me or not? If not, I'll go ask someone else."
Lin Fengyi couldn't do anything about it. Although he really didn't want Lin Fengzhi in a relationship, as no one was good enough for his precious younger brother, Lin Fengzhi seemed determined to keep going until he hit a wall. So, he changed the subject, "Teaching, of course I'll teach."
Lin Fengzhi's eyes immediately brightened, and he looked up at Lin Fengyi expectantly, "Brother, tell me quickly, you're the best to me!"
Their faces were very close at that moment, and Lin Fengyi felt a tickle in his heart. He awkwardly turned his face away and coughed, "Even the most stoic woman can be won over by a persistent man. You should just keep pestering her."
The more Lin Fengzhi listened, the more sense it made.
That's right. Since Lu Lin doesn't remember him, he should just appear in front of Lu Lin more often so that Lu Lin remembers him!
Why has he been so melancholic and pathetic these past few days?
Lin Fengzhi suddenly slapped his forehead hard.
"What are you doing?" Lin Fengyi quickly grabbed his hand. "What if you hurt him?"
"I'm so stupid, I hesitated for so long!" Lin Fengzhi smiled and hugged Lin Fengyi. "Thank you, brother, you're so good to me!"
There was a faint scent of perfume behind Lin Fengzhi's ears, like pine needles after a snowfall. Lin Fengyi was still somewhat dazed, savoring the aroma, when Lin Fengzhi released him, grabbed his backpack, and got off the bus. "I have to go!"
It took Lin Fengyi a while to come to his senses. He rolled down the car window and tried to call Lin Fengzhi back so he could take him home, but Lin Fengzhi was already gone.
Lin Fengzhi ran very fast and quickly hailed a taxi.
He got into the car, closed the door, and told the driver, "To Beijing University!"
Lu Muchi had said that Lu Lin was going to give a lecture at Beijing University the day before the holiday, which was today! He took out his phone and called his classmate at Beijing University, "I'll be at your school right away. Can I borrow your student ID? Yes, wait for me at the main gate."
*
At Lu Group headquarters, Lu Lin finished his work.
The assistant came in to report the afternoon's schedule, "At 2 PM, you have a No. 1 Primary School lecture at the invitation of the president of Beijing University."
Lu Lin glanced at his watch; it was 12:30. He shut down his laptop, stood up, and pressed the intercom button. "Prepare the car."
The assistant followed Lu Lin out, then suddenly remembered something. " President Lu, the schools for next year's outstanding student scholarships haven't been finalized yet. The director of Beijing University has contacted me several times. We've sponsored Beijing University for three consecutive years. How about switching to T University this year? T University Media controls the national media discourse, and I think sponsoring T University will help them promote a positive image of their company."
The two entered the elevator. The assistant pressed the button for the first floor, and Lu Lin asked, "How much longer?"
The assistant did the math. "It'll be two months before school starts in the spring, I guess."
"Put it on next month's agenda."
"Yes."
The elevator quickly arrived at the first floor, the doors opened, and Lu Lin stepped out.
Once in the car, the assistant received a phone call. He turned to Lu Lin and reported, " President Lu, it's the director of Beijing University. They're saying your lecture was so popular that the auditorium is completely full and no one can get in."
In the back seat, Lu Lin closed his eyes to rest and did not react. His assistant then raised the soundproof panel and quietly turned back.
At the same time, Yan Heqing handed his student ID to the ticket inspector and followed the crowd into the auditorium.
Chapter 33
Yan Heqing entered the auditorium, which was almost full, with only a few seats remaining in the last few rows.
Yan Heqing found an empty seat and sat down.
Fu Helang then ran in as well. He looked around and quickly spotted Yan Heqing.
There were people sitting on either side of Yan Heqing, Fu Helang used his schoolbag to reserve a seat in the back row and 'borrowed' it as he passed by.
As he approached Yan Heqing's spot, he bent down and whispered to the girl to Yan Heqing's left. The girl readily switched places with him.
Fu Helang expressed his gratitude profusely, then reached for his schoolbag again before sitting down.
"Yan, have some water." Fu Helang took a bottle of juice out of his bag. He was a few minutes late because he wanted to buy a drink.
Yan Heqing also took out a water glass from his bag; it was half-empty, cooled boiled water. He politely declined, saying, "I don't drink beverages."
Fu Helang quickly put away his drink, grinning to reveal a set of bright white teeth. "I don't drink soda or cola much either; water is better for your health."
Suddenly, the entire auditorium erupted in cheers, with some people whispering, "So young! So handsome!"
Yan Heqing looked up.
They were very far apart, one on a distant stage and the other in the second-to-last row. I could only see their tall, upright figures; they were wearing simple black suits today.
Fu Helang exclaimed, "So young and already on the international rich list, that's amazing. No wonder he's the only student in the school's history to get straight A's."
He suddenly turned his head, and in the dim light, the boy's eyelashes appeared excessively long.
Fu Helang suddenly blushed and whispered, "Yan, with your excellent grades, you'll definitely get all A's."
Yan Heqing glanced sideways, then put his hand to his lips. "The speech begins."
"Oh!" Fu Helang quickly sat up straight, his chest beating several times faster than usual as he met the boy's eyes.
At this moment, Lu Lin adjusted the microphone on the stage. The auditorium was packed with people, mostly young students.
For a fleeting moment, Yan Heqing was also a young student.
Lu Lin regained his composure and began his speech.
The content is largely the same, consisting of some inspirational entrepreneurial motivational quotes.
However, Lu Lin's voice was deep and magnetic, his appearance was outstanding, and he was a legendary academic genius at Beijing University. Every time he finished speaking, in addition to thunderous applause, there were also waves of cheers from the audience.
