Chapter 15

I don’t know what Yang Qi said to the CEO, but that very night, the post vanished directly from the campus intranet.

Yang Qi didn’t return to the dorm either.

Arts Senior and I actively prepared our filming plan. The CEO’s investment was quite generous, a full hundred thousand, plus another bigwig from the banquet, who said he admired my composure despite being in such a mess, also invested a hundred thousand.

With 200,000 in startup funds, Arts Senior and I were so excited we pulled an all-nighter in a study room, planning our proposal. At that moment, I felt an endless surge of energy and countless ideas.

I was busy until Friday, when my dad said he’d pick me up that evening for a family dinner to celebrate.

Just as I exited the teaching building, Yang Qi ran over and linked my arm. “Zhengzheng, you’re going out too? Let’s go together.”

Did she recover so quickly?

I tugged hard, but couldn’t break free, so I let her hold my arm.

Nearing the school gate, I noticed a large crowd had gathered.

“Which big shot is it?”

“That car alone is worth over ten million.”

Students chatted animatedly.

For some reason, the closer we got to the gate, the more excited Yang Qi seemed.

Like a hunter, poised and eager, as prey is about to enter the trap.

We pushed through the crowd.

A black Maybach was parked by the roadside not far from the school gate.

The car was parked right under a streetlamp, its body gleaming with a black sheen.

A middle-aged man stood beside the car, seemingly waiting for someone.

The moment Yang Qi saw the car, she immediately got excited, pointed at it, shook my arm, and loudly said, “Zhengzheng, isn’t that your dad?”

The loudness of her voice and the shocking content instantly drew everyone’s gaze.

I became the center of attention.

I looked at Yang Qi in surprise.

She no longer hid the calculating expression on her face.

“Zhengzheng, your dad’s here to pick you up.”

I felt a bit flustered.

My dad does drive luxury cars, that’s true, but he’s just a driver. It was still a bit hard to say that publicly.

Just as everyone was murmuring, the man by the car walked over and stood respectfully before Yang Qi.

“Young Miss, Mr. Yang sent me to pick you up.”

Yang Qi’s eyes widened, realizing everyone around was now looking at her.

“Uncle Yang, you’ve got it wrong, aren’t you here to pick up your daughter?” Saying this, Yang Qi dragged me in front of my dad.

The moment my dad saw me, he chuckled, patted my shoulder, and pointed to the shared bikes near the luxury car.

“Daughter, you can scan a bike and ride back yourself later. I’ll go home after dropping off the Young Miss.”

I sweetly hummed in agreement, then turned to scan a bike.

The people around were already speculating about Yang Qi’s identity.

Some even crowded around asking for her WeChat. Yang Qi, at a loss, had no choice but to get into my dad’s car and leave.
