Chapter 382: 382 Lu Qingyi: Let the old man take people in_1

"Guxiang Residence.

Four people sat quietly in the private room, waiting for their meals. Lu Qingyi was elegantly crossing her legs, busily typing something on her mobile phone, a faint smile traced on the corners of her lips.

"Professor Lu, I heard a student of Hardwick Academy goes there on weekends to learn medicine. Is that true?"

Ge Yuan looked at Lu Qingyi, took a long moment before he dared to ask the question.

He has a friend teaching at Hardwick Academy, who had mentioned something about it, but his friend didn’t exactly understand, and he didn’t ask for any details.

Ge Yuan wanted to know the truth. If such a thing were true, could he also manage to squeeze someone in?

There were plenty of exceptional students in the medical school as well.

"True."

Lu Qingyi, eyes glued to her phone, responded without raising her eyes.

"Then, Professor Lu, Hardwick hosts the best resources. Is there a chance some of my students can get in?"

Ge Yuan delicately ventured the question. Since there had already been a precedent, there was bound to be a second, or a third one.

"No chance."

Lu Qingyi put down her phone and lifted her eyes to meet Ge Yuan’s stare. She raised the corner of her lips slightly to say this.

It was the first instance, and most likely the last.

Ge Yuan: "..."

Isn’t that dismissal too blunt? He had heard that the one who got in was from Beijing University. Was it because Hardwick Academy looked down on their college of medicine as inferior?

"Professor Lu, has something like this ever happened before at Hardwick Academy? To be honest, I can’t recall a university that allowed such an arrangement."

Lin Wu spoke up, stating his curiosity. He had never heard of anything of this kind.

"It’s the first time, probably the last."

Lu Qingyi responded lazily.

Yes, it was indeed the first time, whether it’s the last one or not, only the future will tell.

The waiter soon brought the food to the table. The aroma was overpowering.

"The food at Guxiang Residence lives up to the hype."

At the whiff of this fragrance, Ge Yuan couldn’t help but exclaim. It was indeed very appetizing. This was not his first time at Guxiang Residence, but it was the first time he had seen such a lavish spread of food.

The food at Guxiang Residence was renowned and quite expensive. The average person would be fortunate if they could afford one or two items off the menu.

"Professor Lu, how did you get your Black Card?"

More than the food, Lin Wu was curious about Lu Qingyi’s Black Card.

Lu Qingyi was a highly respected professor, but getting a Black Card from Guxiang Residence was something she must have managed through connections.

"My fiancé gave it to me."

Lu Qingyi’s lips curved into a faint smile. Her face lit up every time she mentioned Xu Boyan.

Lin Wu: "..."

Ge Yuan: "..."

Are you serious? Lu Qingyi is engaged?

Their surprise was not that Lu Qingyi could be engaged, but that someone with her personality would get engaged so soon.

It didn’t matter whether you thought of the aloof personification from the rumors about Professor Lu, or the person you saw before your eyes, she always came off as icy cold.

Her personality type generally warmed up to people slowly, and it wasn’t easy for them to find a partner.

Wei Song felt like he was being showered with dog food. He sighed; he had a fiancée too! He was preparing for his own wedding, about to get married. Yet, why did he feel like he had a mouthful of the unspeakable ’dog food’?

It was, indeed, difficult.

"Professor Lu, you actually have a boyfriend!"

Ge Yuan took a deep breath and exclaimed.

Lu Qingyi was so outstanding. Her boyfriend would have to be even more so just to match her.

Lu Qingyi: "Hmm."

"Oh, right, Professor Lu, did President Lu personally arrange for the student?"

Ge Yuan remembered they had not finished discussing their previous topic, so he asked again.

He knew President Lu fairly well, so he could always use that relationship to ask.

"Kind of."

Lu Qingyi picked up her chopsticks and added a slice of green pepper to her bowl, before slowly answering.

Well, kinda. All affairs concerning Gu Yansi had been arranged by Lu Boyan, she merely made Lu Boyan break the prior convention, and did not involve herself in any other matters.

Probably because she was too lazy.

’Kind of’?

Ge Yuan found it difficult to interpret Lu Qingyi’s meaning.

"Professor Lu, is he President Lu’s relative?"

Lin Wu piped up, driven by curiosity.

Lu Boyan was an extremely fair and strict president. Anything to do with backdoor dealings had never happened at Hardwick Academy, because he would not allow it.

If Lu Qingyi was right, didn’t that break all his many years of upheld convention?

Lu Qingyi: "No."

He wasn’t Lu Boyan’s relative. He was hers.

Wei Song was silent, he just concentrated on eating. He felt like this matter may be related to Lu Qingyi.

Others may not know, but Wei Song did. The person with the most power in Hardwick wasn’t Lu Boyan but Lu Qingyi, and Lu Boyan always went along with her.

To many people, the famous Professor Lu at Hardwick was simply a professor, and a professor wasn’t expected to have more influence than the president.

They were all mistaken. Lu Qingyi was the one with the most clout. All students of Hardwick knew this, except for the fresh batch of newcomers.

Wei Song didn’t understand why it was so, but he knew one had better offend President Lu than Lu Qingyi. It would lead to severe repercussions otherwise.

"Professor Lu, it isn’t your relative, is it?"

Wee Song kept his silence for a while before finally asking the question out loud. He looked at Lu Qingyi.

Lu Qingyi did not deny it: "Hmm."

Indeed, Gu Yansi was her relative, to be precise, her cousin.

Her mother and Yao Meishu were twin sisters, Gu Yansi was Yao Meishu’s child, and the two of them had some blood ties. Gu Yansi was born a few hours earlier than Lu Qingyi, making him older than her and technically, her cousin.

Lin Wu: "..."

Ge Yuan: "..."

Lu Qingyi’s relative?

Are you kidding?

With the look of sudden realization on Wei Song’s face, it was evident that he had guessed right.

"The one going to Hardwick Academy to learn medicine on weekends was your recommendation, Professor Lu?"

Lin Wu gaped at Lu Qingyi in disbelief.

Lu Qingyi’s character dictated that she would not do such a thing, and it was surprising to know she had.

Lu Qingyi disagreed, "Not a recommendation."

It wasn’t a recommendation. She had just mentioned it to Lu Boyan and got his agreement. That was all.

Ge Yuan was confused: "Then what was it?"

What other means were there to gain entry? Ge Yuan did not understand.

"I told the old man to take him.""

Lu Qingyi let out a big yawn and replied slowly.

Well, it was incredibly tiring. She needed to eat quickly, then return home to sleep.

’Old man’?

Lin Wu and Ge Yuan couldn’t immediately understand who the ’old man’ was that Lu Qingyi referred to.
