Chapter 43: Tsinghua and Peking University Admissions Offices Blocked the Door for 3 Days!
In the VIP suite of Guanlan International Club, the crystal chandelier dazzled the eyes.
Jiang Zhenbang was in a great mood today, and the smile on his face never faded.
He straightened the cuffs of his custom-made suit and turned to look at Ali beside him.
Jiang Zhenbang said with a beaming smile, "Go and prepare a top-of-the-line gift for me later."
"This is a great opportunity to win their favor; we can't miss it."
"I'll call Brother Lu later and ask him out for a meal."
"Congratulations on ranking seventh in the province in the college entrance exam! That's incredibly exciting news!"
Ali nodded quickly and agreed, "Okay, boss, I'll arrange it right away!"
"We guarantee to pick out a gift that will perfectly suit Mr. Lu's taste!"
Jiang Zhenbang nodded in satisfaction and picked up his phone from the table.
Her fingers deftly dialed Lu Jingchen's number, and she held the phone to her ear.
All I heard from the receiver was a mechanical female voice.
"The user you are trying to reach is currently on another call. Please try again later."
Jiang Zhenbang frowned instantly, his face full of doubt.
"That's strange, why can't I get through? The line's busy."
Undeterred, he dialed twice more, but received the same message each time.
Jiang Zhenbang put down his phone and tapped his fingers on the table for a moment in thought.
He then looked up at Ali and gave him instructions.
"Ali, I remember you found out Brother Lu's home address before, right?"
"Could you personally make the trip and go to their place to invite them for me?"
"Please also bring the gift I prepared, and be respectful in your manner."
Ali quickly nodded and bowed respectfully, "Yes, boss, I'll go right now!"
"I guarantee I'll handle things perfectly for you!"
After saying that, Ali turned around and quickly walked out of the private room, not daring to delay for even a moment.
Jiang Zhenbang leaned back on the sofa, his fingers stroking his chin, his eyes full of calculation.
This Brother Lu is practically a hexagonal warrior; his skills are boundless.
Now that he's ranked seventh in the province, he's definitely going to be a big shot in the future.
This favor must be done well in advance; we absolutely cannot neglect it.
In the old residential buildings, the stairwells were quiet.
Ali stood in front of a slightly old security door and gently knocked on it.
He lowered his voice and tentatively asked, "Mr. Lu, are you home?"
I knocked twice, but there was no response from inside.
Ali raised his hand and knocked again, then called out once more.
A moment later, the door was finally opened a crack.
Lu Jingchen peeked out from under the door, his eyes full of vigilance.
He looked around suspiciously for a long time, as if guarding against a thief.
Lu Jingchen's expression softened slightly when he saw that it was Ali standing at the door.
He opened the door and asked, "Is that you? Did you need something?"
Ali quickly bowed and greeted them with a respectful smile.
"Hello Mr. Lu, our boss heard that you ranked seventh in the province in the college entrance examination."
"I was specially sent here to congratulate you and would like to invite you to a casual meal."
"Are you available today?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingchen's face instantly revealed a helpless, bitter smile.
He pointed towards the direction outside the stairwell and spoke in a low voice.
"Please tell your boss for me that I really can't show up right now."
"Those teachers from the admissions offices of Tsinghua and Peking Universities have been waiting for me downstairs for several days."
"It's like being a stalker fan waiting for a celebrity, taking turns to guard them. I don't even dare to leave the house."
Ali was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was going on.
No wonder the boss couldn't get through on the phone; he was surrounded by admissions officers!
This top student, ranked seventh in the province, is indeed highly sought after; both Tsinghua and Peking Universities are vying for him!
Ali nodded quickly and said with a smile, "I see, we didn't think that through."
Lu Jingchen waved his hand and said, "Wait until all these admissions office teachers have left."
"Let's get together again when it's quiet. I'll treat you then."
Ali quickly agreed, "Okay, Mr. Lu, I'll go back and tell our boss right away."
"You can rest at home and we'll wait for your news."
Ali bowed respectfully again, then turned and tiptoed away.
They were afraid that making too much noise would attract the attention of the admissions office teachers downstairs.
Lu Jingchen watched his retreating figure, shook his head helplessly, and closed the door behind him.
Getting too good a score on the college entrance exam isn't necessarily a good thing; you'll feel like a thief when you go out.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and night slowly enveloped the entire city.
The warm yellow light shone down in the Lu family's living room, creating a cozy atmosphere.
The sound of a key turning came from the entryway, and the door was gently pushed open.
Lu Qingyuan hopped in with her schoolbag on her back, a smile she couldn't hide on her face.
She seemed to be in an extremely good mood, and even her steps were lighter.
Lu Jingchen sat on the sofa, looked up at her, and spoke with a smile.
"Qingyuan is back? School got out early today."
Lu Qingyuan bent down to change her shoes, replying without looking up.
"Bro, I have good news for you! Those admissions officers downstairs are finally gone!"
"When I entered the residential area just now, I specifically checked, and all the cars were gone!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingchen instantly breathed a sigh of relief and stretched lazily.
"Finally they're gone. Those teachers can really squat for long periods."
"I was stuck in traffic for three whole days. I can finally have some peace and quiet and go out again."
He stood up, walked to the water dispenser, and poured himself a glass of warm water.
He took a sip and casually said something to Lu Qingyuan.
"Oh, by the way, little sister, I have an appointment to go out with someone tomorrow night."
"I won't be having dinner with you tonight. You can eat something good at home by yourself."
Lu Qingyuan paused abruptly as she changed her shoes, momentarily stunned.
A blush instantly spread across her face, and she twisted the hem of her clothes with her fingers, feeling a little embarrassed.
She spoke softly, her tone tinged with anticipation.
"Brother, I also have something I want to tell you."
"I made plans with my classmate to go sing karaoke together after the exam."
Looking at his younger sister's shy yet expectant expression, Lu Jingchen couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He walked over, reached out and ruffled Lu Qingyuan's hair, his tone full of affection.
"Sure, go if you want, have fun."
"Remember to be careful. Call me when you're done, and I'll come pick you up."
"If you don't have enough money, just tell me. Don't make yourself suffer."
Lu Qingyuan's eyes lit up instantly, and she nodded vigorously, smiling broadly.
"Thanks, brother! Don't worry! I'm with Xia Wanxing and the others; they're all girls!"
"We'll only sing for a few hours, and we'll definitely be home before 10 PM!"
Lu Jingchen smiled and nodded, then gave a few more words of advice to be careful.
Lu Qingyuan skipped and hopped back to her room, humming a song as she went, overjoyed.
Finally, I don't have to work anymore, and I can relax with my classmates.
The following evening, the entrance to the Platinum Hyatt Hotel in the city center was brightly lit.
The entire hotel was resplendent in gold, and the entrance was filled with luxury cars; it was clearly not a place for ordinary people.
Lu Jingchen, dressed in clean casual clothes, strolled to the hotel entrance.
She didn't dress up deliberately, yet she still exuded a powerful aura, blending seamlessly with the luxurious surroundings.
Ali had been waiting at the hotel entrance for quite some time.
Upon seeing Lu Jingchen approaching, he immediately strode forward to greet him with a warm smile on his face.
"Mr. Lu, you've finally arrived!"
Lu Jingchen nodded slightly and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Ali quickly waved his hand and turned to the side, gesturing for someone to lead the way.
"Not at all, you won't be waiting at all!"
"Our boss arrived a long time ago and is waiting for you in the private room."
"Just follow me!"
Lu Jingchen nodded slightly and followed Ali inside.
The two walked into the luxuriously decorated hotel lobby, one after the other.
