If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 1370: Young and Promising Entrepreneur

Today is the day when the person in charge from Shen Group is supposed to come. Xu Chaomu told her that Shen Chi wouldn’t be coming; could it be that Shen Chi sent Xiao Mo instead?

No matter how you look at it, it’s still giving her a lot of face; after all, Xiao Mo is the Vice President of Shen Group, Shen Chi’s most capable assistant.

Thinking of this, Xia Chuqing’s wound didn’t feel as painful anymore; she mustered her strength to stand up and brushed the dirt off her hands.

Her ankle was sprained and still hurt a bit, so she sat down at the side of the road to rest for a while.

She checked her watch; it was about to be half-past nine, the time when the lecture was set to begin. She didn’t know if her roommate had delivered the USB drive, but it was almost impossible for it to arrive on time.

As expected, her phone soon rang.

"Xia Chuqing, where have you run off to? You’re not still asleep, are you? Ah, I’m almost going crazy here; where are you? Where’s the USB drive? Weren’t you supposed to deliver it by nine o’clock? It’s nearly half-past nine now; you sure put on quite the airs, making the Vice President of Shen’s wait here for you?" The department head lectured her non-stop.

"Head of Department, I’m sorry, so sorry, I forgot... I’ve already asked Zou Li to deliver it, it should arrive soon, my apologies, I’m really sorry."

"Zou Li? Where are you?" The department head said, frustrated.

Xia Chuqing was one of his proudest students, she never made him worry about organizing any event. How come such a big incident happened today! They had not easily invited the person in charge from Shen’s to give a seminar to the finance department students, and even the principal took it very seriously, but now...

"I... I fell off my bike and I can’t make it for a while. If there’s anything urgent, could you please communicate with our class’s vice class leader?" Xia Chuqing endured the pain and said.

The department head’s anger subsided somewhat and he said indifferently, "Is it serious?"

"No, it’s okay, just sprained my foot, I can’t come over for now."

"Then you first go to the infirmary and have a look, find a classmate to accompany you." The department head softened and added, "Don’t be this unreliable next time."

The department head went on and on over the phone, clearly worried.

"I got it, I got it, Head of Department, I’m sorry." Xia Chuqing kept apologizing, speaking carefully, "But I guess... this lecture might have to be delayed a bit, or maybe... or..." ƒrēenovelkiss.com

As she hadn’t yet finished her sentence, a tall figure appeared before her.

She was stunned; how could he be here.

"Hello, Xia Chuqing, Xia Chuqing!" the department head called out.

"I have to hang up." Xia Chuqing ended the call and quickly put her phone into her handbag, and as quickly stood up from the ground.

She had rolled up one side of her jeans while checking her wound, and now it looked somewhat comical.

But her sprained foot wasn’t better yet, and as she stood up, she wobbled and nearly fell down again.

A strong hand grabbed her arm, and Xia Chuqing quickly held onto him, which stopped her from falling down.

"Why are you here?" she said, embarrassed.

Every girl wants to show their best side in front of the guy they like, but she had presented such a disheveled appearance in front of Xiao Mo over and over again.

"I heard from the department head’s call that you fell off your bike because of the lecture; as the responsible party, I have the obligation to come and check," Xiao Mo said in an even tone.

Xia Chuqing pursed her lips and smiled. The responsible party? Obligation? Such an official tone, he really is no fun.

"Then you’re really quick; I hadn’t even finished my phone call with the department head! Can you teleport?!" Xia Chuqing said to him.

This was the first time she was so close to Xiao Mo, and her hand was still holding his arm.

Suddenly she felt their relationship seemed much closer, maybe it was just her imagination.

"Isn’t that the lecture hall right ahead?" Xiao Mo tilted his head slightly, tapping his chin lightly.

Indeed, the lecture hall was right there, and there she was, fallen in full view of everyone.

"Let go if you can stand firm." Xiao Mo looked down at the hand holding his arm, "The lecture will start soon, go listen if you’re interested."

"Are you the one giving the lecture?" Xia Chuqing smiled, her eyes squinting into a line.

This man was truly a sight to behold. She felt that she had good taste; others might not appreciate him, but she alone had her eyes set on Xiao Mo.

However, Xiao Mo remained impassive, his complexion unaltered.

He simply said, "Hmm."

"Then I’ll definitely go. I’ve got my notebook ready, you can talk more about financial case studies, that would be more interesting to listen to. Usually, students find these kinds of lectures boring, and it’s always old men giving the talks, but you’re the first lecturer who is both young and handsome," Xia Chuqing said with a laugh.

Xiao Mo’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. Lecturer? The first?

"Oh." Xiao Mo gently brushed off her hand, "It’s about to start."

Having said that, he turned and strode toward the lecture hall without looking back.

He entered through the backstage, and soon, his figure had disappeared from view.

"Hey, Xiao Mo!" Xia Chuqing called out, but no one responded to her.

Had he shown concern for her just now because he was worried, or simply because they knew each other? She wasn’t sure, but being able to see him up close made her heart race non-stop.

Her heart had never thumped this fast. In the early summer sunlight, her smile was as radiant as the brightest sunflower, vibrant and full of life.

After a while, she locked up her bike by the roadside and limped into the lecture hall.

The start of the lecture was still delayed by almost fifteen minutes due to the USB drive issue.

Originally, the students sitting below were whispering impatiently, but when Xiao Mo appeared, everyone’s eyes lit up, and they all let out a "wow" in unison.

They had thought that an old man would be conducting the lecture. After all, there aren’t many young and promising entrepreneurs in C City.

The diligent and studious students were there for the reputation of Shen Group, but a greater part was coerced by the department to attend. However, the moment Xiao Mo appeared, everyone sat upright and attentive, especially the young ********.

Xia Chuqing silently took her seat, which was relatively close to the front.

Yet, seeing the person she liked being ogled by countless wolf-like gazes, she felt a hint of sourness.

Although Xia Chuqing was still quite beautiful, there were many pretty girls in the university. Compared to them, Xia Chuqing, who had been well protected from a young age, was much more innocent.

It was uncertain if Xiao Mo had listened to her request, but in any case, he discussed quite a few classic finance cases in this lecture.

Xiao Mo’s lecture was both smooth and humorous. Had Xia Chuqing not known him for a long time, she might have thought he was a very romantic person; unfortunately, that was not the case.

Throughout the lecture, Xia Chuqing’s gaze was fixed on Xiao Mo, her pen unmoving in her hand.

"So handsome," the girl sitting next to Xia Chuqing couldn’t stop staring at Xiao Mo, her eyes wide open.

Xia Chuqing thought, yes, pretty handsome.

Xiao Mo’s voice was also very magnetic, pleasant to listen to.
