Rebecca had promised to advance the contract the next day, so there was no point in staying there.
Zhu Zhu and Xin Qianyu both went back to the hotel. Of course, Zhu Zhu went back only to rest, while Xin Qianyu had to rush to the date with Su Zhong.
It so happened that the banquet Su Zhong was going to attend was in the hotel where Xin Qianyu was staying.
Xin Qianyu never mistreated himself and stayed at a local five-star hotel. This hotel often contracted all kinds of high-end banquets, so it was not surprising that this banquet was held here.
To make himself look better, Xin Qianyu even dressed up.
Xin Qianyu wore a fine-cut business casual suit in moonlight blue with a very slim fit, depicting his gay-looking waistline, a low-key logo embroidered on the sleeves, and a pair of classic brogue leather shoes on his feet. His outfit was very appropriate, paired with a vivid face, dignified with a hint of chic aura.
Seeing Xin Qianyu make his debut like this, Lilith, who seemed to have an extra layer of skin with her heavy makeup, had to be on guard.
Xin Qianyu, who had just solved the issues with Rebecca, was now the most energetic. He was not so irritable when he saw Lilith and even patiently gave her a polite smile.
Su Zhong was wearing a white suit, his skin was as white as snow, and his eyes were as black as paint. He walked over like an eye-catching star that had fallen into the water. Everyone’s eyes could not help but fall on him, but his eyes only fell on Xin Qianyu.
He walked up to Xin Qianyu and said, “You’re here?”
Xin Qianyu nodded with a smile. “You said you have no company. Could I not come?”
Lilith stood next to him, her fingers holding the champagne glass were a little stiff, but she kept a smile on her face. “That’s great. Lao Su is usually alone at banquets. I have to talk to him every time, as I’m afraid that he’ll be bored.”
Xin Qianyu glanced at Lilith sideways and said with a smile, “Huh? Are you always with him? Why’s that? Doesn’t he have an assistant? As an HR personnel, are you also responsible for socializing?”
The smile on Lilith’s face stiffened slightly.
Su Zhong’s assistant, Thomas, also walked over, followed by a fat middle-aged man in a black suit with hair that was half white. Xin Qianyu squinted at the person in front of him, feeling like the other party seemed a little familiar, but he could not tell who he was for a while.
Thomas played the function of an assistant at this time, smiling and introducing both parties. “This is Mr Wilder, chairman of the AA Examination Association.”
Xin Qianyu was taken aback. The chairman of the AA Examination Association?

With doubts in his heart, Xin Qianyu remained composed on the surface, calmly talking to Mr Wilder.
Mr Wilder and Xin Qianyu greeted each other amicably before he said to Xin Qianyu, “I already know that the issue of pirated textbooks is a misunderstanding. I heard that you were treated impolitely for this, so I’m really embarrassed. Regarding the agreement on the authorization of the test centre, you can state a time. We can sign the contract at any time.”
“That’s great.” Xin Qianyu smiled brightly on the surface, but there were already waves in his heart.
After talking to Mr Wilder, Xin Qianyu sat in the corner of the banquet in a daze. He thought about how he had been running around for the past few days and finally got information that could be used against Rebecca. Now? The chairman of the AA Association communicated directly that there was a misunderstanding, and the contract would be signed as before. He should be happy that he did not have to think about Rebecca anymore. But…he felt extremely depressed, and he did not even know why.
Pirated textbooks caused the AA Association to reject Xin Qianyu, and Xin Qianyu did not take it as a big deal.
Because Xin Qianyu could obviously solve this problem by himself, although it was a bit strenuous. But now it was solved lightly and effortlessly by Su Zhong.
It was like he jumped up and reached for something, and the moment his fingers touched it, Su Zhong effortlessly took it down and casually handed it to Xin Qianyu.
Perhaps, this was quite romantic and seemed like an idol drama in the eyes of others.
But Xin Qianyu only wanted to collapse and shout,
I obviously have had enough!!!
I can get it by myself!!!
Let me do it ah ah ah ah!!!
“How’s it going? Is everything okay?” Lilith came over.
Xin Qianyu stood up from the sofa, clinked champagne glasses with Lilith, and said, “How is it such a coincidence? Why did Mr Wilder come?”
“This is no coincidence,” Lilith said with a smile. “Lao Su knew about the trouble you were in from Ah Xiao and specially invited Mr Wilder to clarify the misunderstanding with you.”
Xin Qianyu was startled. “Really? That’s so surprising.”
Xin Qianyu did not think that Su Zhong had known Mr Wilder in the first place. But as Ah Xiao said, it was not difficult to use M-global’s network to get Mr Wilder to offer a favour.
Hearing Lilith mention Ah Xiao, Xin Qianyu guessed it was the time Ah Xiao and Xin Qianyu met Su Zhong in the coffee shop. Ah Xiao had taken a fancy to Su Zhong’s identity as the youngest partner of M-global, and gotten close to him very politely. Naturally, he talked about Xin Qianyu, told Su Zhong about the difficulties Xin Qianyu encountered, and also suggested that Su Zhong “be a hero and rescue the beauty.”
Lilith smiled and said, “You’re really lucky to be with Su Zhong. If it were me, I would probably hold on to him just like you.”
The words “hold on tight” were really meaningful, and Xin Qianyu’s eardrums were clamouring.
Xin Qianyu opened his mouth slightly but found that he could not say anything to refute it.
Didn’t he hold on to Su Zhong?
Wasn’t it harassment?
Wasn’t it?
Xin Qianyu sighed slightly, his eyes moving toward the window. At this time, Su Zhong and Thomas also came to Xin Qianyu. Seeing Su Zhong coming, Lilith took a step forward and stood closer to Su Zhong than Xin Qianyu. She smiled and said, “You came just in time. I was talking to Xiaoyu about you.”
“What about?” Su Zhong asked.
Lilith said, “About your good relationship. He came to the United States from far away to find you. Also, Lao Su, you are a top ten man, and also help your boyfriend solve work problems. I advised him to cherish you!”
Lilith’s words were very beautiful, but Su Zhong and Xin Qianyu did not know what to say.
Xin Qianyu only said, “Thank you, I’m a little tired and would like to go back first.”
Su Zhong said, “I’ll send you.”
Lilith yawned and said, “I’m so bored too. Why don’t we go together?”
Xin Qianyu took out the room card from his pocket and said, “Zhong Ge and I are going to get a room. Will you join us also?”
Lilith did not expect Xin Qianyu to speak so mercilessly. She was startled for a moment and almost lost her cool.
Beside him, Thomas was also stunned but secretly criticized the boss’s little boyfriend, not only for his weak ability to work but also for relying on the boss to solve problems. He also had no grace and was rude to women.
Xin Qianyu raised his chin slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled arrogantly. “I’m kidding. Don’t be angry.”
Lilith was so angry, but she could only laugh dryly. “Hehe, how could I be angry?”
Xin Qianyu took Su Zhong’s arm, strode out of the venue, walked all the way to the elevator door, and swiped the elevator floor with his room card.
Su Zhong looked at the lit floor lights and looked at Xin Qianyu. “Did you really get a room in advance?”
Xin Qianyu laughed grimly. “I’m staying in this hotel.”
“Oh.” Su Zhong nodded.
Xin Qianyu felt cold in his heart. “You didn’t know which hotel I’m staying in?”
“You didn’t say,” Su Zhong said. “So I didn’t know.”
Xin Qianyu’s tone became colder. “If I don’t say it, you don’t know? Then why do you know about the AA Association?”
“Your classmate told me.” Su Zhong did not seem to be able to hear the subtext in Xin Qianyu’s tone but just answered Xin Qianyu’s question honestly. “He hinted that I should help you solve the problem.”
“Why?” Xin Qianyu narrowed his eyes. “Do you all think that I can’t solve this problem without relying on you?”
Su Zhong had never seen Xin Qianyu’s aggressive appearance before and was very surprised. He felt overwhelmed and did not know what to say, so he chose to remain silent.
And silence, at this moment, could be said to be the worst answer.
When will our wooden boy Su Zhong become a real boy?..
Thank you for the update.
I want to hit one of them but I don’t know which one if I’m honest. Those brainholes and miscommunications…
Thank you for the chapter 💐
Thank you for the chapter. 😘
Wow. Lilith has to be the most annoying character I have ever read. Like man have self-respect will ya? And Su Zhong…I just don’t know what to say about him. Waiting patiently for some character development
Ok, the train is coming at full speed and is about to hit SZ. Sh*t is going to hit the fan and I’m all for it. SZ needs some reality check. XQY too, SZ more
Bring it on.
I’m hurting for both of them. But some things need to happen for someone to realise what he is taking for granted, still painful nonetheless. Why we readers must suffer along with SZ 😩
