Meng Jinyang smiled politely. “Uncle Lu.”
Tao Jing took the initiative to shake his hand. “Boss Lu.”
“President Tao.” Lu Shangjin accepted the handshake as he politely made small talks.
Qin Fang and the rest greeted Lu Shangjin as well.
Standing to one side, Principal Fu was steeped with excitement as he looked at the group of big bosses. If Gu Mang were not in his school, he probably would have never witnessed a scene like this in his lifetime.
They were all big bosses!
Lu Shangjin let go of Tao Jing’s hand and turned to look at Qin Fang and the rest. “Why are you guys here?”
Qin Fang laughed cynically. “We heard that Gu Mang is leading the battle between Class Twenty and Experimental High School so we came to support her.”
Lu Shangjin was speechless. The atmosphere fell into an awkward silence.
Upon hearing Qin Fang’s uncouth words, the corners of Meng Jinyang’s lips could not help but twitch.
Gu Mang poked the brim of her hat and squinted at Qin Fang as danger surfaced in her eyes. Lu Chengzhou was expressionless as he stood nonchalantly beside her while exuding a scary aura. He Yidu used his elbow to forcefully nudge the clueless man.
The pit of his stomach hurt as he coughed and gasped for air while shooting daggers at He Yidu with reddened eyes.
The latter smiled politely. “Sorry for the embarrassment, he is a runaway of the nine-year compulsory education.”
Meng Jinyang burst out laughing. Looking at the happiness appearing on the girl’s face, a faint smile appeared in Jiang Shenyuan’s cold eyes.
At this time Lu Yang and the boys left the opera house. “Sister Mang, Ms. Xi is calling you to touch up your makeup.”
Gu Mang nonchalantly replied and returned the suit to Lu Chengzhou.
She said in a low voice, “I’ll head in first.”
Lu Chengzhou took the suit and when he touched her chilly hands he wanted to say something. However, in the end, he remained silent and only nodded in assent.
“Xiao Han,” she called insipidly with her hands in her pocket as she headed leisurely into the opera house.
The flamboyant man followed Gu Mang inside and without taking a few steps, he turned around and looked at Lu Chengzhou.
Unexpectedly, Lu Chengzhou was looking at him. Their eyes met. Lu Chengzhou’s dark eyes were deep, distant and cold. No emotions could be deciphered from them. It was different from Xiao Han’s hostile glare. Lu Chengzhou thought little of him.
Xiao Han’s chest hurt from the man’s calm and collected stare. He wanted to hit him but it seemed like he would be killed if he could not beat him. Turning his head back angrily, he followed Gu Mang.
Principal Fu broke the silence. “Director-General Lu, let’s head in too. I’ve arranged the seats.”
Lu Shangjin nodded and lifted his head. “Sure, lead the way.”
The tall, well dressed men headed into the opera house. The students from both schools were staring at them.
“D*mn! How dashing! Who are they? Why are they attending our celebration?”
“I saw them standing together with Gu Mang and Meng Jinyang. They might be from Ming City High School.”
“Ahhhhhh! Why can’t our school invite such good-looking people to support!”
“Is being good-looking of any use? I think that Ming City High School’s standards are too low and can’t beat us so they decided to stoop this low to earn others’ attention.”
“That’s right. If they have the ability, they should outperform us in terms of skills. Doing things like this just shows that they are weaker than us and are afraid of being found out.”
“It’s been so many years and yet they can’t produce either a science or arts scholar. They even have the cheek to take the title of Ming City’s first high school?”
A girl said softly, “Aye, have you guys heard? The joint celebration was suggested by our vice principal and Ming City High School actually agreed to it.”
