While Ye Zhanyan was busy learning at the company, she received a task from the school. The mystery writer Mo Dan was coming to the school to hold a seminar, and she was chosen as the host to co-host the seminar with Sheng Huainan.

In the past, Ye Zhanyan might have been happy to stand on the same stage as Sheng Huainan, but now Ye Zhanyan no longer has the idea of ​​continuing to entangle with Sheng Huainan.

Besides, the person she likes now is Zhao Shucheng. If she continues to co-host the symposium with Sheng Huainan, even though Zhao Shucheng might not care, she feels it's better to avoid suspicion.

So she wanted to give up the host position to someone else, and the person on the shortlist happened to be Luo Zhi.

"Luo Zhi, isn't Mo Dan your favorite? This time, he's holding a symposium at the school. What a great opportunity to get to know him up close! Why don't you be the host?"

Hearing that Ye Zhanyan was going to give up the opportunity to her, Luo Zhi was a little surprised and asked, "Didn't the student council elect you to be the host? Why are you giving up such an opportunity? The Ye Zhanyan I know has always been one to step up without hesitation. It can't be just because we're best friends now, can it?"

Knowing she couldn't hide it from Luo Zhi, Ye Zhanyan said, "Because the other host we chose is Sheng Huainan, and we've broken up after all, it just feels a bit awkward to co-host with him again."

Luo Zhi was stunned when she heard this. Sheng Huainan was someone who was once very important to her. She hadn't paid attention to him for a long time without realizing it. Hearing this suddenly still made her lose her composure.

"But why did you ask me to host it?"

"You used to like Sheng Huainan too, but you never had the chance to perform on the same stage. So this time, I'm giving it to you, which can be considered as fulfilling your dream."

Luo Zhi said, "Thank you so much. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're just worried that Qi Ming will misunderstand, right? But don't worry, Qi Ming won't be attending this symposium at all, so you can continue to host it!"

"No, I didn't have a good impression of Qi Ming to begin with, and now that things have just improved, I can't afford any misunderstandings."

Seeing that Luo Zhi was still unwilling to help her, Ye Zhanyan said, "Luo Zhi, have you forgotten your original intention in caring about Sheng Huainan?"

Luo Zhi looked at Ye Zhanyan with some confusion and said, "What are you trying to say?"

"Luo Zhi, stop hiding it from me, I know everything. The reason you've been observing Sheng Huainan and understanding his likes and dislikes isn't just because you like him, but for other reasons as well."

Luo Zhi looked at Ye Zhanyan, puzzled, and asked, "What other reason could I have?"

"You're still not being honest? I accidentally saw an old news report from Harbin. A fire broke out at one of Sheng's factories, killing a worker, and that worker was your father. So you have a blood feud with Sheng Huainan's family. The reason you approached Sheng Huainan was for revenge, right?"

Luo Zhi was surprised that Ye Zhanyan had such a vivid imagination and would think of her in this way, so she couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?"

"Of course not. My father's matter happened many years ago, and everything has been settled. I have no intention of seeking revenge."

Ye Zhanyan looked at Luo Zhi with some confusion and asked, "Then why are you paying attention to Sheng Huainan? Don't tell me you just like him."

"Why not? You think I only met Sheng Huainan, who transferred here in high school, but you don't know that we've known each other since we were very young. The reason I paid attention to him back then was because we made a promise when we were young. We didn't see each other again until we met again in high school, but it seems that Sheng Huainan has forgotten me."

Looking at Ye Zhanyan, who was staring at her in disbelief, Luo Zhi smiled and said, "But those were all my past obsessions. I presumptuously tried to get close to Sheng Huainan, only to realize later that I was just deluding myself. So after being rejected, I just wanted to have no contact with Sheng Huainan anymore. I can only appreciate your kindness in asking me to preside over the ceremony for you."

After hearing Luo Zhi's words and learning about Luo Zhi's past and grievances with Sheng Huainan, Ye Zhanyan had no choice but to force Luo Zhi to host the symposium for her.

"What can we do then? You don't want to go, and I don't want to go either. We won't be able to explain this to the student council."

"Actually, there are other candidates."

Ye Zhanyan said with delight, "Tell me quickly, let's find a replacement as soon as possible, then we can let go."

"Actually, there was another person on the shortlist, but she withdrew from the list later. That person is Xiangxiang. If you can persuade Xiangxiang to go, then all the problems will be solved."

Ye Zhanyan said somewhat sullenly, "Then I might as well go by myself. What if Qi Ming finds out that we deliberately arranged for his girlfriend to co-host the symposium with someone else? What if he gets angry and ignores us?"

"Don't worry, Qi Ming won't be that petty. After all, it's just a symposium."

Sheng Huainan was also looking forward to the symposium. He hadn't been doing well lately; his venture capital venture had failed, and he could only make a living by running a mobile phone repair shop. Although he received many orders, and there was even a long line of customers outside his shop, what was originally a hobby had become a job, and he no longer had the enthusiasm he once had.

He had been keeping an eye on Luo Zhi and knew that she and Zhao Shucheng's team had won the first prize and had even officially started their own company.

His ex-girlfriend had become friends with Luo Zhi, and they even revolved around Zhao Shucheng, fueling his desire to compete with him. His failure in the venture capital competition was incredibly frustrating, as the person he considered a rival had never even given him a second glance.

This symposium gave Sheng Huainan the opportunity to talk to Ye Zhanyan in person. He wanted to know where he had gone wrong and why they had all chosen to leave him and silently follow Zhao Shucheng, willingly playing an unknown supporting role.

However, to Sheng Huainan's surprise, Ye Zhanyan, although she came to the student council meeting, directly stated that she did not have time to participate and asked them to choose another capable person.

"Why, Zhanyan? You've been working on the book club, and you haven't had any exams lately. The seminars are even scheduled for the weekend. You should have had plenty of time to participate."

Ye Zhanyan said with a smile, "I really don't have time. As you all know, our venture capital competition project is now officially operational, and there are many things to handle at the company. Because we are students, we don't have much time to participate in companies during our studies, so we have to concentrate on handling some work matters on weekends."

"Then you can put it aside for now. Actually, this seminar will only last for two hours, so it won't take up too much of your time."

"I'm sorry, our company is just starting out, and everything isn't running smoothly yet. As one of the founders, I can't hold them back right now, can I?" Seeing Ye Zhanyan's resistance, the student council president could only turn to Luo Zhi and say, "Luo Zhi, as our first candidate, you should be fine with Ye Zhanyan not being able to participate, right?"

Luo Zhi spoke up, saying, "Senior, I probably can't participate either. After all, Ye Zhanyan and I are on the same team. She's busy dealing with the backlog of work, and so am I. In fact, she only handles the work of the human resources department, while I not only have to deal with the finance department but also the legal department. I'll only be busier, so you should choose someone else."

Luo Zhi hadn't figured out how to refuse at first, but after hearing Ye Zhanyan's words, she realized that work was the best reason to refuse.

Sheng Huainan was surprised that both Luo Zhi and Ye Zhanyan refused to host the symposium, which made him feel somewhat embarrassed. After all, he was a very popular person, and others would love to share the stage with him, so why were Luo Zhi and Ye Zhanyan avoiding him like the plague?

“If you feel it’s not appropriate for you to co-host with me, I can step down. You don’t need to use work as an excuse.”

"This has nothing to do with you. We do have work-related matters to attend to."

When the student council president saw that Ye Zhanyan and Luo Zhi had both refused, he also felt that it might be related to Sheng Huainan, but as a leader, he couldn't say such a thing. He could only believe that Luo Zhi and the others refused because of work.

"So now we need to choose another female host. Are there any other candidates?"

"Yes, Gu Senxiang from the Foreign Languages ​​Department, and the Mechanical Engineering Department..."

"Gu Senxiang is good. I remember she is also a very good student and the most beautiful girl in the Foreign Languages ​​Department. She won't embarrass our school."

“Now there’s a problem: Gu Senxiang is also a member of Luo Zhi’s team, and even Qi Ming’s girlfriend. I’m not sure if she has time to get involved.”

"If you're unsure, then go and make contact. Why settle for second best when there are better options? Besides, this symposium is very important; we need talented women, not just pretty faces."

Gu Senxiang came to the student union after receiving the call. After learning why she was being called, she hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.

"Don't you have to work like Luo Zhi and the others?"

Gu Senxiang turned around and saw that the person asking the question was Sheng Huainan. She then looked at Luo Zhi and Ye Zhanyan, who were avoiding her gaze not far away. They had already sent a text message explaining the situation, and she had prepared her response in advance.

“Although we are a team, we have different responsibilities. As department heads, they need to focus on handling work, while I, as the president's special assistant, only need to help Qi Ming with his daily work.”

Some people asked, "Shouldn't you be busier? How come you have time to participate in the seminar?"

Qi Ming has always believed that professionals should do professional things, and if a company boss needs to be busy every day, it only means that the company's management is inadequate. If he can handle daily work in just two or three hours a day, and even travel around without having to manage the company, then that is a successful boss.

"The company's daily affairs are handled by the management, and there is very little work that Qi Ming needs to handle personally, so as his special assistant, my job is naturally much easier."

The others were surprised by how things turned out. Although some suspected that Luo Zhi and Ye Zhanyan had other reasons for refusing, since Gu Senxiang had already agreed to be the host, they were too lazy to investigate further.

After their meeting, Gu Senxiang walked up to Luo Zhi and Ye Zhanyan and said, "Tell me, why are you all pushing this period out, and even asking me to help?"

Ye Zhanyan said, "The reason I refused is that Sheng Huainan and I were each other's first love, and it would be a bit awkward to share the stage now."

Luo Zhi continued, "As you know, I used to have a crush on Sheng Huainan, but I was rejected when I confessed. The story of Sheng Huainan rejecting me is still circulating on campus. So if we were to appear on the same stage now, it would be incredibly awkward."

Gu Senxiang knew that it couldn't be just because of that, but she didn't want to delve into it. After all, they were now on the same team, even working for the same company, and there was no need to argue over outsiders.

Zhao Shucheng learned two days later that Gu Senxiang had replaced Ye Zhanyan as the host of the symposium.

He really didn't expect things to develop to this extent, with everyone refusing to share the stage with Sheng Huainan, and even avoiding him like the plague.

In the original storyline, Ye Zhanyan and Luo Zhi engaged in all sorts of scheming and backstabbing for Sheng Huainan. Ye Zhanyan even conspired with Ding Shuijing to take Luo Zhi's diary out of context, framed Luo Zhi using the so-called return of gifts, and speculated about Luo Zhi's ulterior motives based on the fire incident, all to keep Sheng Huainan away from Luo Zhi.

But now the two of them have become best friends, and even reject Sheng Huainan's advances together, which seems a bit surreal.

Sheng Huainan returned to his dormitory somewhat dejectedly and began a life of staying indoors. He, who was usually in good health, even caught a cold suddenly, and no matter what medicine he took, he did not get better.

When Luo Zhi returned to her dormitory, she saw that dark clouds had suddenly gathered outside and a torrential downpour had begun.

She suddenly realized that Jiang Baili was not in the dormitory. Curious, she asked the other dormitory members and learned that Gobi had asked her to go to the student union.

Soon after, she saw Jiang Baili, who was holding an umbrella but was still soaked to the bone, clutching something in her hand.

"Belle, what's wrong with you?"

When Jiang Baili saw Luo Zhi, she forced an awkward smile and said, "I'm fine. Chen Mohan invited me to a symposium and even gave me two tickets. You can come with me!"

"Wasn't it supposed to be Gobi looking for you? Why did it turn out to be Chen Mohan instead?"

Jiang Baili burst into tears and said, "Actually, Chen Mohan tricked me into going there using Gobi. They were so affectionate, and Gobi even seemed to avoid me like the plague. This made me realize that Gobi didn't like me at all, and it made me decide to cut all ties with Gobi from now on!"

Even so, Jiang Baili couldn't help but burst into tears. Gobi had actually treated her this way; she might not have cared before, but in front of Chen Mohan, Jiang Baili still found it hard to accept. (End of Chapter)
