Chapter 356: Like a Fairy
The strap turned into a white bone.
“What…”
Wu Yiyao’s face turned pale when she saw the white bone and she subconsciously took a big step back.
“This… this is actually a white bone.”
Chu Luo quickly chanted a few incantations and the bone disappeared.
Wu Yiyao’s ominous feeling disappeared at the same time and she heaved a sigh of relief.
Chu Luo said, “Sister Wu, let’s go. I’ll send you to the technology building.”
Wu Yiyao opened her mouth. She had many questions to ask, but seeing Chu Luo’s expression darken, she didn’t ask.
Chu Luo sent Wu Yiyao to the technology building. After Wu Yiyao entered the technology building, she walked to a hidden spot and asked Phoenix to teleport her back to the Li residence.
The moment she appeared in the bedroom, she met Li Yan’s dark and cold eyes.
Li Yan actually wasn’t using his computer at this moment. Instead, he looked straight at the spot where she had left. Seeing her appear, he put his laptop aside and stood up to pull her into his arms.
Chu Luo pushed his back and said, “It’s not even an hour.”
Li Yan only responded with an “Mm” before letting go of her.
Chu Luo asked, “What did you find out?”
“There are traces of Qin family activity.”
Li Yan’s expression turned cold. “The Qin family hasn’t given up. In that case, I’ll give him a big present tomorrow.”
“What do you want to do?”
“Destroy all the economies that the Qin family secretly controls.”
After saying that, Li Yan walked to his chair and sat down.
Chu Luo followed him to look at his laptop. It was filled with downward-sliding curves.
Li Yan said, “The Qin family still hasn’t given up. They’re just relying on the fact that they still control a few important economies in the dark. As long as these economies disintegrate, they won’t be able to rise again.”
Li Yan’s actions were equivalent to destroying all their backing. He was indeed ruthless.
However, what was bad about him doing this was that he would be feared by the upper echelons, such as the Duanmu family.
Chu Luo had to follow the principal to G Province to attend the meeting of the principals of the world’s universities early in the morning. Li Yan didn’t work anymore and hugged her to sleep.
The next day, Chu Luo went to see Old Gao after getting up.
At this moment, Old Gao was practicing Taiji in the courtyard. Mrs. Gao stood at the side and said to him, “Isn’t Taiji also exercise? I say, just stop. Why do you have to think about running?”
“I’ve been jogging in the morning for the past few decades. If you don’t let me run, I feel listless the entire day.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she smiled and said, “Teacher Gao, Mrs. Gao is doing this for your own good.”
When Old Gao heard this, he deliberately sighed. “I’m just an old cabbage that no one dotes on or loves. All of you are bullying me…”
Pa!
Mrs. Gao slapped him and he shut up.
“Stop pretending to be pitiful. We’re doing this for your own good.”
Old Gao knew that it was useless to pretend to be pitiful. He straightened his expression. “I know, but I’m used to doing this. If you ask me to change it immediately, I definitely won’t be able to.”
Chu Luo thought for a while. “How about this? You can go out with Mrs. Gao every morning and night. If you’re really bored, you can plant flowers and play with birds.”
Old Gao was about to speak when Mrs. Gao said first, “The Li residence is filled with bodyguards. We can’t walk around casually. Moreover, there are other people from the Li family. We’re already intruding by staying here.”
Old Gao shut his mouth again.
“You’re not,” Chu Luo said. “Other than Yan’s third aunt, who lives in the ancestral hall in the west, there are no other family members here.”
When Old Gao heard this, he recalled some rumors about Li Yan.
He didn’t comment on how Li Yan treated the others in the Li family, but he frowned and said, “Then when you marry over in the future, there won’t even be anyone to talk to you.”
Chu Luo pursed her lips and smiled. “I’m so busy that I basically won’t stay here much.”
After saying this, she added, “Teacher Gao, Mistress, I’m going to G Province with the principal to attend the meeting of the world-class universities. I won’t keep you guys company. If you need anything, just tell the nanny. There’s no need to be restrained.”
When Old Gao and Mrs. Gao heard this, joy appeared in their eyes.
Old Gao said excitedly, “Then go quickly. Don’t make the principal wait too long.”
“Okay.”
After Chu Luo and Li Yan finished breakfast, Li Yan sent her to the school’s head office building.
At this moment, the principal was already waiting there with his assistant.
When the principal saw Chu Luo get out of the car, he smiled and sized up her attire.
Chu Luo was wearing a modified Tang-style cheongsam today. It was retro and elegant with ethnic-style embroidery. She looked elegant, casual, and charming in it.
With half of her hair tied up, she looked beautiful, elegant, gracious, and charming. She simply looked like a fairy.
The principal nodded in admiration. “Our Imperial University should be this elegant, energetic, and confident. Chu Luo is very capable of representing the image of our Imperial University.”
After saying that, he extended his hand to the cold man standing in front of Chu Luo. “CEO Li, thank you for the helicopter you provided for us.”
Li Yan nodded slightly and said, “Because Luoluo is going.”
In other words, the principal was basking in Chu Luo’s glory.
Seeing that Li Yan didn’t shake his hand, the principal wasn’t angry. He retracted his hand and looked at his wristwatch. “Let’s leave now.”
The helicopter stopped on a field in the school when Chu Luo and Li Yan arrived.
The few of them went to the field and got into the helicopter.
Li Yan got into the car and left after the helicopter took off.
Chu Luo retracted her gaze.
The principal sighed. “CEO Li is the biggest sponsor of Imperial University’s technology building. The equipment inside is basically sponsored by his company.”
Chu Luo looked at the principal.
The principal continued, “But he basically doesn’t come to Imperial University himself. I didn’t expect that after you came to Imperial University, Little Chu, he became a regular at Imperial University.”
His assistant, who was sitting beside him, added with a smile, “This is what it means by ‘Even a hero becomes a prisoner of love in the presence of a beauty’.”
“Right, haha.”
Chu Luo thought that Li Yan had indeed used another identity to come to Imperial University often. After his identity had been exposed, he no longer came much.
The principal added, “Little Chu, I’m here to tell you what you need to do at the conference.”
Chu Luo nodded.
“The top 50 universities in the world will be attending this seminar. In the seminar, everyone speaks the international common language. There’s no need for you to translate.
“However, other than the seminar, we will have time to talk in private afterwards. Everyone likes to speak their own country’s language at this time, so someone who knows all kinds of foreign languages has to translate it.”
At this moment, the assistant interrupted, “Actually, it’s very risky for the principal to bring you there alone. The other principals will bring a professional translation team. Don’t be deceived by the harmonious facade put up by the schools. When the time comes, they will also secretly compete.”
So the assistant didn’t understand why the principal only brought Chu Luo there.
Chu Luo guessed what the principal was thinking. She looked at the principal and said to him confidently, “Principal, don’t worry. As long as I’m here, no one will dare to speak ill of Imperial University in words that you don’t understand.”
“Chu Luo, do you know what I admire about you the most? It’s your confidence and powerful learning ability. I brought you there alone this time because I wanted to test your foreign language level.
“Aren’t you running for president of the Student Union? Attending this conference will also add points in your favor.”
The principal deliberately finished speaking in a relaxed tone and asked her, “Actually, many of us don’t understand. You’ve chosen so many specializations, so how do you have the energy and time to manage the Student Union? You have to know that the Student Union at Imperial University isn’t just for show. It has real power in certain aspects.”
Chu Luo raised her eyebrows at him. “Why are there so many cadres in the Student Union? Isn’t the president just sitting in the office and coordinating the overall situation?”
The principal and assistant were stunned when they heard this. Then, they smiled.
The helicopter arrived in the courtyard of a seven-star hotel owned by Blazing Glory in Province G an hour later.
The meeting of the world-class universities organized by G Province wasn’t far from here. It was at the city cultural hall a few streets away.
The manager personally welcomed them. “Miss Chu, Principal Tang, hello. I’m the manager of the hotel. My surname is Zhou. I’ve already arranged for your meals and accommodations. I wonder if you want to take a look now or go to the cultural hall first?”
“Let’s go to the cultural hall first,” the principal said. “With the empire as the host for this conference, our Imperial University definitely can’t arrive late.”
“Okay.” The manager took two room cards and handed them to Chu Luo and the principal. He asked the two waiters standing at the side to bring their luggage to the villa they were going to stay in, before gesturing for them to leave. “The car is ready. Please.”
