Chapter 1091: Dinner with the Chinese Medicine Faculty
It was a clear day, without the heat of summer. As it was the beginning of autumn, the sun was s.h.i.+ning and a breeze was blowing, easing the summer heat.
The Emerald Pavilion that Shen Yugui mentioned was opposite Qing University. It was a medium-cla.s.s restaurant with a Chinese renovation style. The mahogany door looked antique and had an ancient design style.
At eleven o’clock, someone was already waiting at the door of the Emerald Pavilion.
Three men and four women found a shaded spot to get out of the sun. They stood on tiptoes and looked out over the road as if waiting for someone.
“Professor Shen and the others haven’t arrived yet?” The person who spoke was a girl with dimples and a baby face. She was cute and likable.
She was wearing a cotton s.h.i.+rt dress and looked very ordinary. In fact, she looked a little simple and plain. It was obvious that she had not adapted to the change in her ident.i.ty. She was still dressed like a high school girl. She was even holding a parasol with cartoons printed on it.
Beside her stood tall, cold, and outstanding girls. Hearing this, they calmed her down and said, “Professor Shen said in the group that he encountered something and will be coming over later. He asked us to go in first and not wait for him. Didn’t you see the group message?”
“I did.” The baby-faced girl touched the tip of her nose in embarra.s.sment. “I wasn’t waiting for Professor Shen. Actually, I…”
The person she was waiting for was not Professor Shen. Why would she be waiting for Professor Shen…
The person she was waiting for was Qiao Nian.
The top scorer of this year’s college entrance examination had scored full marks in the national exam, setting a new record for the college entrance examination in Rao City.
It was probably impossible for anyone to break this result in the future!
She was from Rao City, but her parents did not work there. After junior high school, she was taken to work by her parents from her grandparents.
She studied in a high school in Liangjiang City, but she was in First High School in Rao City in junior high.
Therefore, as soon as the college entrance examination results came out in July, she saw Qiao Nian’s news on her phone. She remembered that this result had caused an uproar on Weibo…
From then on, she wanted to see what the top scorer of her junior high alma mater looked like.
There were a few photos of the other party online, but the pixels were especially poor. It was difficult to tell the facial features from the photos alone.
“Are you waiting for Qiao Nian?” The girl who had just spoken to her saw through her hesitation and exposed her intentions.
Looking out at the hot asphalt road, she frowned and said, “She hasn’t spoken ever since we joined the group. She shouldn’t be the kind of person who will come over first. She might come over with Professor Shen and the others. It’s so hot outside. I think we shouldn’t wait. Let’s go in first.”
The doll-faced girl hesitated.
“If she’s coming, we’ll definitely see her. But it’s the difference between earlier and later. Song Tian, let’s go in first!”
“But…”
“Let’s go get a seat first. Professor Shen and the others can come straight to the private room to look for us when they arrive.”
The reason was impeccable.
The baby-faced girl hesitated a moment, then nodded in agreement.
They stopped waiting and went in first.
At the same time, a figure got out of a car and walked unhurriedly towards the Emerald Pavilion.
Qiao Nian was dressed casually today. Her cotton s.h.i.+rt was tucked into one part of her jeans, which was rare for her. The other part of her s.h.i.+rt was hanging out casually. She wasn’t carrying anything except her phone. The phone was connected to an earpiece, and the earpiece was tucked into her ear.
