Forced to Date a Big Shot

Deng He shouted and wanted to come over, but he was surrounded by the students from the Chemistry Department. “Mr. Deng He, how long have you been studying nerve drugs?”

“Mr. Deng, you’re my idol. May I take a photo with you?”

“Teacher, can you give me an autograph?”

“…”

Deng He looked at the eager students in front of him and recalled how hot-blooded he had been in the past. He recalled the loneliness he’d had to endure when doing scientific research and could not help but smile gently. “Sure!”

He shot Xue Xi an apologetic look and started chatting with the students.

Xue Xi did not mind.

She nodded slightly and was about to enter the lecture hall when Gu Yunqing smiled behind her. She suddenly said, “Xue Xi, I advise you not to waste your efforts. Your company is hopeless. You’ve already started to empty your office. Are you planning to declare bankruptcy? Deng He will not go to your company.”

Xue Xi shot her a glance and smirked, ignoring her as she entered the classroom.

After she entered the classroom, a senior manager, who was dressed like a student but was actually the manager of the Gu family’s pharmaceutical company, stood behind Gu Yunqing and said, “Missy, do you think there’s a chance to poach Deng He?”

Gu Yunqing fiddled with her fingers and smiled. “Of course there’s a chance. Didn’t you see him calling me Missy just now? He even smiled at me and nodded slightly. That means that we can talk later. It means that he has already noticed me. He must be interested in the Gu family.”

The senior manager was a little hesitant. “Ever since we found out that Deng He was developing a neurological drug, we went to investigate his personality. We found that he is very particular about fate and doesn’t care much about material things like money. Hence, we have to spend more effort to poach him.”

This was also the reason why the Gu family did not find someone to talk to him directly and instead came to the school.

The Gu family had once offered him an olive branch, but this person did not accept it at all. So, was he really greeting the Big Miss just now?

Why did he feel that from his angle, he seemed to be greeting someone else?

Gu Yunqing, on the other hand, said, “Who doesn’t love money? Especially when it comes to scientific research. They’re all old and pedantic, and their families are poor. He previously made all kinds of excuses and definitely intends to sell it for a high price! Just wait!”

The senior manager still felt that this chance was unreliable and could not help but whisper, “Missy, for safety’s sake, why don’t you look for someone from that club?”

Gu Yunqing’s face darkened.

To be honest, Gu Yunqing did not know what the people in the club did every day. She had never belonged in the club.

However, she had racked her brains and spent a huge sum of money. After joining that club, it became much easier for her to do things. Over the years, she had also done many things for her family.

This was also one of the reasons why the Gu family chose her.

That club was really mysterious. No matter how difficult it was for her, they could do it. She still remembered that the first thing she asked them to do was to ask for a piece of land for the Gu family. She wanted to know the price in the other party’s proposal.

After entrusting it to the club, the club gave their family a price in just a day. Later, their family used money that was slightly higher than the price to obtain the land.

From then on, the Gu family became more concerned about their daughter. They even placed her in their eyes and let her handle some difficult matters.

She had taken many shortcuts over the years.

But now—she was chased out by that club.

Until now, she did not dare to mention this matter to her family. She was afraid that they would give up on her after finding out that she was useless.

Hearing the senior manager speak, she clenched her jaw and slowly said, “Do you think the club belongs to the Gu family? Why are you looking for them for such a small matter?”

The senior manager did not dare to speak. He silently looked at her and probed, “I saw the thread. Why did it say that you were chased out of that club? Is that true?”

Gu Yunqing’s face darkened. “Is this what you should be asking?”

The senior manager lowered his head and did not dare to speak again.

Gu Yunqing snorted and entered the classroom.

…

When Xue Xi entered the classroom, she was first shocked by the situation before her.

This was the first time she realized that she did not have enough knowledge. This was because she did not expect that a single lecture would be filled to the brim!

In the entire hall, except for the first row, which was reserved for the leaders, there was not a single seat from the second row to the last row.

When she blinked, she heard a voice. “Sister Xi, over here!”

Xue Xi turned around and saw Li Zixia and Xie Yingying sitting at the edge, waving at her.

She walked over and asked in surprise, “Why are you guys here?”

Li Zixia said, “Although I don’t know what the content of this lecture is, those who can come to our university to give a speech are definitely all amazing people. Sister Xi, you don’t understand. Many people came to line up in the middle of the night. There are also some who’s been occupying seats yesterday. When I heard that you were coming to listen to the lecture last night, I knew that you would definitely come too late. When I came here early in the morning, there were indeed only a few seats left.”

Xue Xi: “…Why didn’t you call me when you guys came to take a seat this morning?”

No wonder the two of them went out early in the morning. She thought that it was for breakfast and did not ask. She did not expect them to have come here.

Li Zixia waved her hand. “Weren’t you studying? If you wanted to occupy a seat, you’d have had to queue up. Couldn’t we just save a seat for you? You don’t know, but this kind of seat can’t even be occupied by a book. Someone has to be here!”

Xue Xi looked at the two of them and felt a little touched. Li Zixia nudged her shoulder and whispered in her ear, “Sister Xi, I know that you must be worried about the pharmaceutical company at home, so you wanted to come and listen to the lecture. Don’t worry, I understand everything! Hurry and sit down. The two of us only occupy two seats. I won’t be able to understand even if I listen here, so you stay here. I might as well go out and help you corner Professor Deng He. When you’re done listening to the lecture, come over and see if you can invite him to your company. Even if it’s just to be a consultant, it’s fine!”

Xue Xi: “?”

After saying that, Li Zixia turned around and was about to leave when she accidentally bumped into Gu Yunqing.

She was shocked. Before she could react, Gu Yunqing had already pushed her away. Coincidentally, Gu Yunqing had heard what she said just now and mocked, “How can she afford to invite Deng He?”

She looked down at the three of them and said with a sense of superiority, “You guys can only listen to the speech in the corner while I don’t even need to save a seat. I have a seat in the first row. This is the difference in our status!

“So, stop dreaming!”
