The Imperial Special Ops soon completed the research on Xin Xinggao's complete CV and sent the results to Yin Shixiong before the networking event in the afternoon was set to begin. When Yin Shixiong had contacted the Special Ops, he had specifically requested them not to use the Nandou system to send the files. Thus, all the information was safely received in his mailbox. As soon as he finished reading the information, he shuddered.
"Nianzhi, where did you did this person's information?" Yin Shixiong asked Gu Nianzhi. "Don't be so rash and mindlessly obey Mr. Huo. He's always been strict, but you are not a professional, so there's no need for"
Gu Nianzhi was displeased and interrupted him without hesitation. "Brother Xiong, what do you mean by saying this? Even though I'm not as powerful as you guys, I'm not completely useless. Uncle Huo believes in me and entrusted me to do this. Are you looking down on me?"
Yin Shixiong smiled bitterly. "How could I dare to look down on you? Nianzhi, I'm just worried about your safety."
"I know." Gu Nianzhi laughed softly. "Smart people use their brains, not bravado. I'll be fine, ok? Anyway, I have to go now. I'm going to the networking event in the afternoon."
Gu Nianzhi had just ended the call when she looked up to see He Zhichu leaning against the classroom door. He wore a smoky gray Egyptian cotton shirt with the sleeves rolled up; his long legs were clothed in light gray suit trousers. He had been watching her quietly, a hint of warmth in his normally sharp eyes.
".Professor He, when did you get here?" Gu Nianzhi looked at her watch. "There's no class today, right? Or did I read the schedule wrong?"
"What kind of networking event are you going to?" He Zhichu asked dryly, "Do you have a lot of free time?"
Gu Nianzhi looked away, slightly embarrassed.
Why shouldn't I attend student activities? She usually didn't go because she didn't like group activities. But this time, she had to go no matter what.
"It's the Huxia Empire Students' Association's networking event. I just came to Harvard and felt that I should get to know more students." Gu Nianzhi smiled sweetly as she put her laptop into her backpack. She rose and walked past He Zhichu. " Are you here for business?"
"Where is it?" He Zhichu's eyes followed her.
"Where is what?"
"The networking event."
Gu Nianzhi looked down at her phone and entered the address into her GPS. "Oh, it's not far. It's just three blocks from here." Gu Nianzhi looked up and showed him the map.
"I'll drive you." He Zhichu turned to go downstairs. "Three blocks is not a short walk."
Gu Nuanzhi had actually wanted to take the opportunity to walk through the School of Engineering across from the law school and find the event organizer. She had memorized his name and CV so that it would be easier for her to make his acquaintance. However, if He Zhichu gave her a ride, she wouldn't be able to get to the venue first. Gu Nianzhi blinked and ran after him, saying, "Professor He, this is a student activity, what are you going to be doing there?"
"Is it a problem if I want to check it out?" He walked to his car without turning around and pressed the key in his hand to open the door remotely.
Gu Nianzhi looked at the inconspicuous, yet flashy Mercedes-Benz; she cursed his stubbornness. She turned to look at the School of Engineering forlornly as she dragged herself into the car and sighed.
He Zhichi put the seatbelt on her and asked dryly, "Why do you keep looking at the School ofEngineering?"
"There's a handsome guy there, he's basically a male idol." Gu Nianzhi cringed inwardly as she blurted out the ridiculous excuse; she forced a starstruck expression in her eyes. "I saw him once before on campus and have never forgotten him."
He Zhichu nodded in silence, but he clenched his jaw in agitation. He hadn't actually wanted to go to some random student networking event but had instead sought to give Gu Nianzhi a ride since it was on the way. However, seeing her smitten look, he was curious to see what this unforgettable "male idol" looked like.
