The crowd broke into an uproar.
All sorts of strange gazes fell onto Qiao Xi.
Song Shiyu crept closer to Gu Zheng’s ear and asked, “Is the Qiao family so capable that they could even send Madam to Li City University through the backdoor?”
Gu Zheng looked at him as if he was looking at a fool. “Do you think university is high school?”
There could be transfer students in high school, but how could one simply join a university?
How could they have gotten someone who had never been to university into her fourth year?
Was he joking?
Song Shiyu said, “… Then how did Madam get into Li City University?”
Gu Zheng turned around. ‘Don’t ask me, I don’t know either!’
“F*ck, what is this woman talking about?!”
Zhou Guanjin slammed the table. His Sister Qiao Xi was invited to Li City University by him. What did it have to do with the Qiao family?!
The lights were not shining down on the stage at this moment, so Qiao Rou’s expression could not be seen clearly.
However, she remained silent, which meant that she was tacitly agreeing with the girl’s words earlier.
If news of this got out, Li City University’s reputation would be ruined!
The host quickly stopped her. “Student, please be careful with your words and actions. Apart from some special admissions, every student in our university was admitted through the standard procedures. There’s no such thing as joining through the backdoor.”
The girl curled her lips in disdain. “You’re denying it? Then what about Qiao Xi? Didn’t she suddenly appear in our university?”
The host replied, “This…”
Qiao Rou kindly stepped forward to mediate the situation. “Let me explain things for my sister. She’s not an official student of our university. She’s just auditing here. Our father understands that my sister grew up in the countryside and has never gone to university. He just wants her to experience university life. Our father has put in painstaking effort to make this happen. I hope everyone can understand…”
Qiao Rou knew that Qiao Xi had joined Li City University, but she did not know the exact details. She only thought that it was arranged by their father.
Therefore, her words were rather self-righteous.
“Hahaha, what kind of bullsh*t are you talking about? Auditing? Dream on!”
Zhou Guanjin could not stand it anymore. He pointed at Qiao Xi and said loudly, “This person was personally invited by me. It has nothing to do with your father!”
Qiao Rou’s face turned pale. “President, you…”
Pausing for a moment, she bit her lip before saying unwillingly, “I know that you have a special relationship with Qiao Xi. You even protected her backstage… But no matter how close you are, it’s not a reason for you to distort the truth.”
All she wanted to say was that Qiao Xi was in an inappropriate relationship with Zhou Guanjin!
Gu Zheng narrowed his eyes. His gaze shifted between Zhou Guanjin and Qiao Xi, his eyes dark and heavy.
Song Shiyu was still confused. “Why would Zhou Guanjin speak up for Madam? Do they know each other? Why did Zhou Guanjin invite her to join the university?”
“Who knows?” Gu Zheng’s fingers that were placed on his knees lightly tapped them as he tilted his head to glance meaningfully at Qiao Xi.
Sensing his gaze, Qiao Xi touched the tip of her nose. She reckoned that Gu Zheng had already guessed her identity.
However, it did not matter. She had no plans of hiding it anyway.
Knock, knock, knock.
Qiao Xi tapped on the microphone with her finger, attracting everyone’s attention.
“Haven’t you noticed anything? I’ve been sitting here for a long time,” she reminded them meaningfully.
“Hahaha, a bunch of blind people!” Zhou Guanjin laughed without restraint.
Only then did the others realize that Qiao Xi was sitting on Master Gu Shan’s seat, which the host had introduced earlier!
Damn, how dare she?!
“Oh my God, this woman is too shameless. She actually dares to sit there.”
“If she hadn’t said anything, I wouldn’t have realized. Is she sitting there to try and seduce President Gu?”
“F*ck, she’d better stay away from Master Gu Shan’s seat! Don’t dirty it!”
Qiao Xi: “??”
Things seemed to be developing unexpectedly.
Qiao Rou’s eyes flashed with pride as she said innocently, “Sister, how can you sit in the master’s seat? That seat…”
“Shut up, I don’t have a disciple like you!”
Qiao Xi roared in frustration.
The venue fell silent again.
Qiao Xi’s fingers tapped lightly on the table, and her elegant brows were furrowed. It was obvious that she was in a very bad mood.
Her cold voice spread to every corner of the venue through the microphone. “Let me introduce myself. I’m Qiao Xi, and my alias is Gu Shan. I’m a special teacher invited by Li City University’s fashion design department.”
Before anyone could react…
Qiao Xi did not wait for their reaction as she continued speaking, “The topic for the design competition this time is ‘five grains’. The designs handed by the participants mostly contain the relevant elements, and Qiao Rou’s design is the most outstanding.”
The layers of the skirt were made up of golden wheat ears.. The waistline was separated from top to bottom, and the sleeves were boldly draped over the deep V neckline, like golden wheat ears that grew while bathing in sunlight.
