Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 458 - 459 Go, my little pet, go for it!

The Education Department received the news, as did Tang Yuan. She called over Gu Mingzhu and stressed, "This time, Beicheng has entrusted you with the responsibility of the reception entirely out of respect for our Gu family. You must seize this opportunity and not overstep, understand?"

Gu Mingzhu nodded.

Tang Yuan went on, "I’ve also received information that Chief Fang very much likes the incoming deputy chief’s daughter. That Wang Qin probably won’t be able to set foot inside the Fang family’s door!"

Gu Mingzhu chuckled faintly, "Is that so?"

Tang Yuan laughed too. "Families like the Fangs are very meticulous. They value partners of equal social status the most!"

Gu Mingzhu maintained her polite smile.

Tang Yuan lightly patted her. "I’ve also heard that Mr. Wang isn’t very pleased with the rapid promotion of the deputy chief. He might give this newly appointed Deputy Chief Li a bit of a hard time! Mingzhu, Mr. Wang is definitely the first important figure you need to please."

Thinking of such a scenario, Gu Mingzhu’s face felt a little hot. "Mom, I understand."

Tang Yuan smiled in satisfaction. The child she has raised must surely be impressive enough for that person.

After Tang Yuan left, Gu Mingzhu sat down and let out a soft smile. Tomorrow, she indeed planned to tour the computer science department with Mr. Wang. And, as she expected, Gu Anxi should be sleeping then!

In fact, regarding Gu Anxi’s behavior, Principal Shen was surprisingly indulgent. He had initially wondered if he should notify Student Gu about the significance of the day, suggesting she restrain herself a bit and sleep tomorrow instead. However, he later figured that as long as Mr. Wang didn’t visit the computer science department, it wouldn’t matter. Besides, Director Zhang hadn’t received any notice about Mr. Wang going to the computer science department either, so there was no need to remind Gu Anxi. So, when King Jingyao arrived at Beicheng University and was being received by a crowd, Gu Anxi was sound asleep at the back of a large lecture hall.

In the VIP room of Beicheng University, Principal Shen, several key professors, Fang Ming, and Gu Mingzhu together entertained King Jingyao. A crowd surrounded the important man, like stars clustering around the moon.

Besides the usual entourage, Chief Fang and the newly appointed Deputy Chief Li were also present. It was said that Deputy Chief Li had a profound background, which was why he had been promoted six levels at once. This made Mr. Wang somewhat displeased, and he seemed intent on making things difficult for Deputy Chief Li in front of everyone.

When an important person makes things tough for another, it’s done with outward propriety, but every word is pointed and strikes true. King Jingyao, reserved and dignified, casually posed a few questions. If Deputy Chief Li showed any sign of faltering, he would be dismissed on the spot.

However, Deputy Chief Li proved to be quite competent, answering all questions thoroughly and with composure. This made Mr. Wang look at him a few more times, and he no longer seemed inclined to make things difficult. Furthermore, in subsequent interactions, Deputy Chief Li demonstrated a keen ability to read situations, adopted a humble demeanor when appropriate, and consistently referred to himself as ’Little Li.’ His flattery was as smooth as flowing water, leaving no trace!

Even King Jingyao, who was usually difficult to please, broke into a smile. The atmosphere in the VIP room began to lighten.

King Jingyao, with a charming smile, said, "Speaking of which, I heard Chief Fang and Deputy Chief Li both have children studying here. Let’s have them come over."

Chief Fang immediately replied, "My son is right here."

Principal Shen immediately chimed in, "Fang Ming is an extraordinarily outstanding student..." He then went on to boast about Fang Ming’s academic achievements and various awards with great pride.

After listening, King Jingyao looked at Fang Ming for a few moments, then smiled faintly. "A very promising young man."

He then turned to Deputy Chief Li. "And your child? Call your child over too, let me see."

Gu Mingzhu was a little surprised. This new deputy chief also has a child at Beicheng University? I never heard about it!

At this, Deputy Chief Li smiled. "Alright, let me give her a call to save a trip."

He took out his phone, walked to the side, and dialed, his voice neither too loud nor too soft, "Qin’er, could you come over to the VIP room in the administration office? Please come for a moment."

Gu Mingzhu was stunned. Could it be Wang Qin? How is that possible? Wasn’t Wang Qin’s father just a deputy bureau chief in Qingcheng? How did he suddenly become a deputy chief?

Just as she was reeling from shock, Wang Qin arrived. She was small and round, looking unremarkable but rather cute.

King Jingyao stared at her for about ten seconds before casually asking, "I heard you and Fang Ming are dating, is that correct?"

Everyone present was slightly taken aback by this question. Mr. Wang even knows about this?!

Fearing Wang Qin might slip up, Deputy Chief Li wanted to answer for her. However, King Jingyao’s Secretary-General interrupted him, "Deputy Chief Li, Mr. Wang seems to like your daughter."

Little Li, a true master of flattery, instantly knew better than to interrupt. So, he just stood quietly to the side without uttering a word.

Wang Qin carefully glanced at Fang Ming. Fang Ming gazed back at her, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Wang Qin’s heart warmed, and she immediately straightened her posture. "Yes, I am in a relationship with Fang Ming."

King Jingyao chuckled. "Principal Shen just mentioned Fang Ming’s many strengths and numerous awards. Now, why don’t you tell us about your special talents?"

Wang Qin’s face turned red.

At this moment, Gu Mingzhu secretly felt delighted. Special talents? What special talents could Wang Qin possibly possess? Apart from following Gu Anxi around and acting cute, what else could she be good at? This will be embarrassing for her, won’t it? She stood there, a demure smile on her face, waiting to watch Wang Qin make a fool of herself.

Wang Qin bit her lip, feeling a bit embarrassed. This was, after all, related to the environment she grew up in. She didn’t have a father like Gu Yuntian, nor was she particularly intelligent. Additionally, she was extremely shy and timid. However, Fang Ming was here! And so was Fang Ming’s father. She couldn’t let others gossip that she was unworthy of Fang Ming!

Wang Qin said in a tiny voice, "I’m currently working as an artist for an animation by Disney!"

The professors from Beicheng University present were all stunned. We never heard about this! Wang Qin was really keeping a low profile!

Deputy Chief Li, however, smiled faintly. Heh, so you look down on people from Qingcheng, do you? This will really make your eyes pop!

King Jingyao smiled slightly. "That’s quite good. What film is it? I’ll go see it when it’s out."

Hearing this, Wang Qin perked up and earnestly explained, "It’s Gu Anxi’s ’Big Grey Wolf.’ The copyright fee alone sold for 500 million. It’s exceptionally good."

As she spoke of Gu Anxi, her eyes sparkled with pure adoration.

King Jingyao asked, as if casually, "Is that the Dr. Gu who is supposedly difficult to get along with?"

Principal Shen wiped his sweat. "Actually, Student Gu is usually quite helpful..."

Gu Mingzhu also chimed in, "Yes, Mr. Wang. Student Gu and Wang Qin are very close. Wang Qin’s art job was probably also secured with Gu Anxi’s help!"

Her words seemed supportive on the surface, but they subtly undermined Wang Qin. The adults present naturally understood the young girl’s intentions. However, none of the important figures spoke up; they just smiled as they continued to watch Wang Qin.

At this moment, not only Wang Qin but also Little Li felt nervous; after all, he was the one who had benefited most from connections!
