Chapter 1058: Ink-Like Rivers and Mountains; A Banquet Like a Painting
The fan meeting was supposed to be simple and humble, so why is it set in a five-star hotel?Outside the hotel, they’ve laid out an exaggerated Oscar-level super-long red carpet, and decorated with rose flower arches and clusters of bright helium balloons. Anyone who doesn’t know would think this is...
A wedding scene, cough cough cough.
"Brother, did we go to the wrong place?" Gu Qiusha got off the car with quite a bit of confusion.
Gu Yuzhi’s expression didn’t look too good either.
He thought this meeting was arranged by Bao Gucheng, feeling that Bao Gucheng was flaunting his power, providing Sha Sha with more luxurious and high-end writing resources, overshadowing him, a mere scholar in the legal circle.
Thus, his tone wasn’t friendly: "Haha, I have no expectations for Bao Gucheng’s taste. This kind of nouveau riche style is long out of fashion."
Gu Qiusha blankly glanced at her brother: "No, brother, this meeting wasn’t arranged by Mr. Bo. It’s organized by one of my fans, ’Jiang Shan Ru Mo’. I’m puzzled because she clearly said everything would be simple..."
Gu Yuzhi’s face suddenly felt a bit hot: "..."
What? Did he criticise the wrong person?
This tacky yet lavish style actually wasn’t Bao Gucheng’s masterpiece?
He awkwardly said, "Maybe Bao Gucheng did it disguising under a pseudonym."
Gu Qiusha chuckled: "Haha, brother, your imagination is wild. Not everyone is like Gu Shiyin, a pseudonym monster. Besides, ’Jiang Shan Ru Mo’ is female! Female! She came early to oversee the arrangements. As for Mr. Bo, he went to Imperial University to pick up Zuzi early this morning. If I hadn’t missed school last night, I would have come with him today, saving you the trouble of picking me up."
Gu Yuzhi: "..."
Heart’s confusion was temporarily set aside.
But, why does the sense of crisis brought by Bao Gucheng feel even stronger?
Now Bao Gucheng runs to Imperial University every few days, and Sha Sha spends all day at the university... Meeting the big bad wolf more frequently than seeing him, her brother. Is this reasonable? Is Bao Gucheng there to woo Xi Zuzi or his Sha Sha?
Or does he want... both?
The more he thinks, the more uneasy he becomes.
He follows Gu Qiusha into the hotel, and as Gu Qiusha signs in, he steps aside to make a call: "Dean, are there any courses at the law college I can teach now?"
The person on the other line seems shocked, stuttering for a while before replying: "Professor Gu, you are the lifetime honorary professor of our college, just focus on academics, even post-docs don’t bother you with the hard work of teaching, how could we dare let you this mighty figure personally give lectures?"
Gu Yuzhi: "I want to lecture."
The other: "Cough, Professor Gu, but your academic standards are strict, even if we’re recruiting Ph.D. students starting this year, it’ll likely take two or three years to find one you’ll be satisfied with. Can’t make you lecture undergraduates, can we?"
Gu Yuzhi: "Undergraduates are fine."
The other: "???"
Gu Yuzhi: "Please arrange it as soon as possible. I only have one request, please place the classroom in the History College."
The other: "???"
What’s wrong with Professor Gu’s brain today?
Let law students go to the History College for lectures, is it convenient for on-site research and exchange on ancient penalties?!
Gu Yuzhi finally arranged the matter of teaching at Imperial University, and in a blink, Gu Qiusha was gone.
He looked up towards the banquet hall, and couldn’t help but feel dazzled.
Is this banquet truly not organized by Bao Gucheng?
The setup is overly grand, the banquet hall lavishly decorated, delicacies and fine wines spread out on the lengthy buffet table without concern for cost, invited fans probably number in the thousands, the entire banquet hall bustling, people so many you can’t see the edge... Without overwhelming power, it’s impossible to organize a venue of such magnitude.
Bao Gucheng, give his Sha Sha back to him!
