Chapter 57 - The Seat Was Stolen Again
Chapter 57: Chapter 57: The Seat Was Stolen Again
In the mission group, the Group Owner had sent out a new task.
“There is a task with a heavy reward. Li Group requested to steal the other party’s internal resources. The mission is very difficult. Those who are capable, accept the task.”
Xu Wanwan saw the words ‘Li Group’ and, without a second thought, she sent out, “I’ll accept.”
Group Owner: “This task is not suitable for you. The difficulty is too high. It will be a waste of the other party’s time.”
Xu Wanwan was exceptionally persistent and quickly typed in, “Please believe me. I can do it. If anything goes wrong, I’ll take full responsibility.”
The Group Owner ignored her, but the group exploded.
“You’ll take responsibility? You do know that this is the Li Group? It’s a top-tier enterprise in the industry. They’re looking for the most capable and experienced people. There are so many seniors in the group, but they don’t dare to go forward. You sure have a big mouth.”
“Isn’t this what it means when a newborn calf isn’t afraid of a tiger? It always thinks that it’s gifted and can solve all its problems. What a joke.”
“Go back to where you came from. The Group Owner will definitely assign this task to the most capable person.”
Xu Wanwan looked at the messages that denied her and couldn’t help but clench her phone.
She was also worried that her lack of ability would delay Li Jingran’s matters, so she gave up.
More messages mocking her appeared in the group chat. Xu Wanwan did not want to read anymore, so she closed her phone.
Lin Jianan came over. “Wanwan, I might have to go out. The party is about to start. I’m going to see if my parents have arrived.”
“Okay, go quickly.”
Lin Jianan was about to leave when she suddenly thought of something and asked, “Oh right, our seats are next to each other. Will your parents come? If they come, I’ll greet them.”
Xu Wanwan shook her head. “No need. My family won’t come.”
“Then…okay.” Lin Jianan had to leave by herself.
Xu Wanwan looked behind her, lowering her eyes to hide her disappointment.
She had to invite her family to the orientation party, but she didn’t have any relatives. Li Jingran was so busy. Who would come?
Right at this time, the stage was full of life as parents and children sat together, talking and laughing.
At the entrance of the main gate, Li Jingran appeared in public view, dressed in a formal suit.
Many people around were staring at him.
He did not care about those gazes and directly walked to Xu Wanwan’s seat and sat down.
Lin Jianan bent her body over toward her parents. And while she was greeting them, she glanced sideways and saw Li Jingran.
She was halfway through her sentence when her mouth opened into a big circle.
She… didn’t see wrongly, right?
Li! Jing! Ran!
How come he was here?
And he was even sitting in Xu Wanwan’s seat…
He must have sat in the wrong seat.
Lin Jianan bent over to the man’s side and reminded him nervously and carefully, “Hello, sir. This seat belongs to my friend. You must have sat in the wrong seat.”
Li Jingran didn’t look up as he glanced at the name on the chair and said in a cold voice. “It’s right.”
“Uh…my friend is going to give a speech on the stage later, but she said that no family members are coming,” Lin Jianan couldn’t help but say.
Li Jingran didn’t reply at all, nor did he have any intention of getting up and leaving.
Lin Jianan was a little helpless and stood there in a daze.
At this moment, someone bumped into her, and a black figure flashed past her eyes.
Li Xuyi casually sat beside Li Jingran, crossing his legs as he casually said, “Brother, you should have told me earlier that you were coming to my orientation party. How come you found the wrong spot?”
Li Jingran gave Li Xuyi a cold look. “Who said I’m here to look for you?”
Lin Jianan was stunned on the spot and was dumbfounded.
“Um…you guys know each other?”
Li Xuyi glanced at her. “Nonsense, he’s my brother.”
“Oh. Uh, then I misunderstood.” Lin Jianan was still in shock. She turned around and was about to leave.
Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly thought of something and immediately said, “That’s not right. Sir, you should sit in the back.”
“The seat you’re sitting in now is indeed my friend’s.”
“I want to sit here. Is there a problem?” Li Jingran looked up at her with a look of displeasure on his face.
Being stared at by him, Lin Jianan lowered her head after a while and said in a panic, “No…my friend has a good personality. She definitely won’t say anything.”
After saying that, she slipped away, afraid that Li Jingran would be angry.
Li Xuyi cleared his throat and lowered his voice. “Hey, I’m sitting in the back. Can you not steal someone else’s seat?”
“I don’t need you to teach me how to do things,” Li Jingran said coldly. “I’m not here for you today either. Go back to your seat.”
“You!” Li Xuyi felt that Li Jingran was really baffling. “In this school, besides me, who else do you know?”
“If you want to look for me, just say so. Why are you hiding it? Seriously.”
He complained for a while, but seeing that Li Jingran was still not moving, he couldn’t be bothered to say anything more, so he turned around and left.
Not long after, the orientation party officially began.
After the principal finished his speech on stage, his tone was full of enthusiasm. “Now, let us welcome our university’s top scorer in Science to give a speech on stage.”
After Principal Fang finished speaking, he led everyone to clap together.
For a moment, the applause in the audience was thunderous. Under everyone’s expectant gazes, Xu Wanwan appeared on the stage.
She was wearing the uniform of A University. Her pure white shirt was tucked into her short skirt, and her legs were straight as she stood under the spotlight. When she looked down the stage, the corners of her lips curled up into a standard smile.
“Hello, everyone. My name is Xu Wanwan. I’m a new student who has just entered this year’s class.”
After the introductions, there was another round of applause from the audience.
The boys, in particular, were especially excited, and their applause grew louder and louder.
“The goddess is so beautiful. She is exactly what my ideal girlfriend would look like.”
“She looks so pure and docile. Her figure is really not bad, and her voice is also beautiful. I want to woo her.”
“I’m telling you, she’s mine. No one is allowed to snatch her! The goddess will definitely be the school belle in the future. I have to get her first.”
Li Jingran sat calmly below the stage. As he listened to the voices beside his ears, the pressure around him actually became lower and lower.
He frowned and stared unhappily at the boy, who was going to chase after Xu Wanwan.
Ha, you wish.
You’re chasing after my person just because you want to?
Xu Wanwan knew nothing about what was happening below the stage. She gave a serious speech and told the students how she felt when she entered the school. She also encouraged the students to study hard.
After she finished speaking, she bowed deeply to the audience and left the stage with thunderous applause.
Li Jingran watched the girl’s small figure disappear from the stage, and his gloomy mood eased slightly.
Finally, he could not hear the wild words of those boys anymore.
After Xu Wanwan finished her speech, she walked to the audience through the back door under the guidance of the counselor.
She bent down and struggled to find her position. Coincidentally, Lin Jianan was waving at her from not far away.
Xu Wanwan nodded and walked in Lin Jianan’s direction.
Lin Jianan’s expression was extremely complicated. She looked at the man beside her and could not help but sigh.
Wanwan was really unlucky. On the first day of school, Li Xuyi had snatched her seat.
It was a good orientation party, yet it was still occupied by a strange man.
The key point was that this strange man was still Li Jingran. She really did not know how to ask him to leave..
