54: Chapter 54 Mr. Zhou, it's been a long time.

"What the hell!" Chu Yi tugged at Song Qian. "Sister Qian, don't pay him any mind. You can tell just by looking at him that he's no good!"

Song Qian gently patted her hand.

"It's fine," Song Qian said. "No need to bother with him."

Chu Yi was still fuming.

"Talking about how he knows General Manager Zhou Zhaolong, acting like he's so impressive! I don't believe it. Can't we just talk to him ourselves?!"

She grabbed Song Qian's hand. "Let's go! I'll take you to find that General Manager Zhou directly!"

Song Qian was taken aback.

"Chu Yi..."

"What are you afraid of!" Chu Yi was already pulling her toward that side. "It's not like he's going to eat us, is it?"

She took Song Qian's hand, wove through the crowd, and headed straight toward the direction of General Manager Zhou Zhaolong.

General Manager Zhou Zhaolong was speaking with a school board member.

He wore a polite smile and was in the middle of saying something.

The school board member nodded repeatedly, clearly agreeing with his words.

Just then, a pink figure suddenly burst in.

"General Manager Zhou!"

General Manager Zhou Zhaolong, who was talking to a school board member, frowned slightly at the sudden interruption.

He turned his head to look at the two young women in front of him.

One was wearing a Student Union service staff uniform, her expression a mix of coldness and slight awkwardness.

The other was in casual clothes, her face cute and adorable, and she was glaring at him indignantly.

"Who are you?" He frowned.

"We are students from Jingzhou University!" Chu Yi said. "My name is Chu Yi, and this is my Sister Qian, Song Qian."

General Manager Zhou Zhaolong swept his gaze over them.

Both young women were quite pretty and had a certain spirited charm.

His brow unfurrowed, and his tone softened slightly.

"Is there something I can help you with, students?"

Chu Yi took a deep breath.

"General Manager Zhou, we wanted to ask, when we are juniors, can we intern at your company?"

General Manager Zhou Zhaolong was stunned for a moment.

This question was asked too directly; it was quite lacking in decorum!

But in this setting, he wouldn't hold it against two young women.

"Internship matters are not under my jurisdiction," he said, his tone still polite. "The company has a dedicated Human Resources department; you can follow the normal procedures."

Having said that, he turned back around, preparing to continue his conversation with the school board member.

Chu Yi grew anxious.

"Wait!" She called out to him. "Then can you... stop contacting Student Union President Qi Mingxing?"

General Manager Zhou Zhaolong turned back around, his brow furrowing even tighter.

"What?"

Chu Yi said: "He said he knows you!"

"He's using your name to try and force our Sister Qian to be his girlfriend!"

General Manager Zhou Zhaolong's brow knotted together.

"You mean Little Qi?"

"Yes, that's him!"

Chu Yi nodded vigorously. "He said it himself just now! He said as long as Sister Qian becomes his girlfriend, he can introduce us to Fengxian Construction!"

"Is your company really that casual?"

General Manager Zhou Zhaolong was silent for two seconds.

He looked at Song Qian. Song Qian stood there, her expression calm, but there was a hint of weariness in her eyes.

He looked at Chu Yi again. This young woman was fuming, looking like she was standing up for her friend.

She didn't look like she had any powerful backing.

"Young lady, regardless of where you heard this news..." General Manager Zhou Zhaolong began, his tone cooling slightly. "Little Qi is my nephew, and I do not wish to hear anyone slandering him, do you understand?"

Chu Yi was stunned. Nephew?!

She immediately understood why Student Union President Qi Mingxing was so arrogant.

No wonder he said he could talk to General Manager Zhou Zhaolong; they were relatives!

But Chu Yi wasn't going to coddle him, and she said directly, "Slander?"

Her voice rose. "You're his uncle?!" she said loudly. "So you're all just a nest of snakes and rats—"

"Chu Yi!" Song Qian quickly grabbed her. But it was already too late.

General Manager Zhou Zhaolong's expression darkened completely.

He ignored them further and took out his phone to make a call. "Little Qi, come over here."

Student Union President Qi Mingxing was chatting with someone not far away, and after hearing the call, he hurried over.

Soon, he walked over holding a glass of champagne. "Uncle, did you call for me?"

General Manager Zhou Zhaolong pointed at Chu Yi and Song Qian. "These two young women say you are using my name to force someone to be your girlfriend."

His expression was very serious. "Is this true?"

Student Union President Qi Mingxing was stunned for a moment, then laughed. "Uncle, don't listen to their nonsense."

"They are just two ordinary students who wanted to meet you through me. I didn't agree, so they got angry out of embarrassment."

"Bullshit!" Chu Yi was so angry her face turned red. "Shameless! It was clearly you who said it yourself! You said as long as Sister Qian becomes your girlfriend, you could introduce us to Fengxian Construction!"

Student Union President Qi Mingxing ignored her and just smiled at General Manager Zhou Zhaolong. "Uncle, look, this young woman is getting worked up."

General Manager Zhou Zhaolong looked at him without speaking, just frowning slightly.

Student Union President Qi Mingxing saw a hint of tacit approval in his expression.

He turned around, picked up a glass of champagne from a nearby table, and walked toward Chu Yi.

"Student Chu, you need to be responsible for what you say." He stood in front of Chu Yi and raised his wine glass. "Consider this drink a way to clear your head."

He flicked his wrist, about to splash the champagne.

Song Qian reacted quickly, stepping in front of Chu Yi. She closed her eyes, bracing herself for the cold liquid.

But, nothing happened!

She opened her eyes and saw a tall, upright back blocking them. It was a tall, sturdy figure.

The champagne ran down the person's back, soaking into their clothes in a dark stain.

Chu Yi and Song Qian were both stunned. "Su Bai?"

Su Bai didn't look back, but turned around to look at Student Union President Qi Mingxing, and at General Manager Zhou Zhaolong behind him, whose expression was dazed.

Su Bai's expression was indifferent, but his eyes were as cold as winter river water.

"Student," Student Union President Qi Mingxing was stunned for a moment, then laughed. Thinking the other person was a Jingzhou University student, he said arrogantly, "Where are you from, playing the hero saving the beauty here with me?"

"Believe it or not, I can make it so you can't get by in Jingzhou University!"

Su Bai's eyes were icy. "I don't believe it."

Student Union President Qi Mingxing examined him with interest. He didn't recognize this person. He hadn't seen him in the Student Union, and he didn't look like someone with connections. He was likely just an ordinary student trying to show off.

"Fine, since you want to be a hero, I'll teach you a lesson too!"

He lifted his leg and kicked toward Su Bai.

The people around them let out a gasp. Everyone knew that Student Union President Qi Mingxing was the president of the Jingzhou University Taekwondo Club and the only black belt!

With this kick, this handsome boy was likely going to suffer!

"Ah—!" "Don't!" Chu Yi covered her mouth, and Song Qian's face turned pale.

Su Bai dodged to the side. Student Union President Qi Mingxing's kick missed, and he stumbled forward.

Before he could steady himself, Su Bai's fist had already arrived. An uppercut! "Pow!"

The fist smashed into his face! Student Union President Qi Mingxing tilted backward and fell heavily to the ground.

He clutched his face and screamed. When he pulled his hand away, there was a bloody tooth in his palm.

"My, my tooth!" He howled, his speech slurred. "How dare you hit me! Do you know who I am!"

He scrambled up, pointing at Su Bai, then at General Manager Zhou Zhaolong. "Uncle! He hit me! You have to stand up for me! Call the police and arrest him!" "Kill him!"

The surroundings went quiet. Everyone's gaze fell on General Manager Zhou Zhaolong.

General Manager Zhou Zhaolong stood there, looking at Su Bai. His expression had changed. The cold, distant expression from before had vanished. It was replaced by shock, surprise, and a little bit of... fear?

Student Union President Qi Mingxing was still shouting: "Uncle! Call someone quickly! Get security over here! Call the police!!"

General Manager Zhou Zhaolong didn't move. He opened his mouth, trembling, wanting to say something. But nothing came out.

Su Bai looked at him, the corners of his mouth curving slightly. "General Manager Zhou," he said, his tone indifferent. "Long time no see."

Immediately, his tone turned sharply cold. "I see you're getting quite full of yourself now."

General Manager Zhou Zhaolong's face went completely pale.
