Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed Chapter 535 - 198: Hiss, gently... Relying on a mountain now

As she watched the news about Li Yuan and Zhihu explode across the internet, even drawing coverage from Modu’s financial news outlets, Qi Siyu’s heart fluttered, stirring an odd emotion within her.

I see now why Vice Principal Ma Tengfei has taken a personal interest.

Currently, the prevailing policy trend among the upper echelons was to leverage the technological innovation of university students in this new era. The governnt vigorously encouraged and supported students in their entrepreneurial endeavors, providing significant policy support and assistance.

The slogans of the day—technological innovation, strengthening the nation through technology, technology-led growth—were proclaid loudly, serving as weathervanes for the nation’s direction.

As one of Modu’s four "985" universities, Daxia University had always been at a disadvantage in national and world rankings due to its origins as a normal university. It particularly lagged behind the other three 985 universities in Modu when it ca to student achievents in technological innovation and independent entrepreneurship.

Therefore, it wasn’t surprising that Ma Tengfei, the vice principal in charge of student entrepreneurship, would pay special attention to Li Yuan. He was a freshman who was already sowhat famous, and the Zhihu website he developed had gone viral on its very first day. It made perfect sense that Ma would want to et him in person.

It would be a stretch to nurture an internet giant like B.A.T., but if Zhihu could beco a well-known website or forum, it would greatly enhance Daxia University’s reputation...

"You little man, it looks like I’ll have to be the one to find you," Qi Siyu muttered to herself, her cheeks flushing as a certain thought ca to mind.

She picked up her phone, gathered her thoughts, and dialed Li Yuan’s number, feeling slightly nervous. A mont later, Li Yuan’s sowhat rushed voice ca through the phone.

"Hello, Ms. Qi. Do you need sothing?"

Hearing Li Yuan’s serious tone, Qi Siyu felt a pang of fluster. She buried her desire to tease him deep down and asked with equal seriousness, "Li Yuan, congratulations on creating the Zhihu website. You’re another step closer to success."

On the other end of the line, Li Yuan’s voice was uncharacteristically brief and professional.

"Thank you."

Listening to Li Yuan speak to her as if she were a stranger, Qi Siyu felt a surge of frustration, grinding her teeth in irritation.

That philandering scoundrel. The type to forget all about a woman the mont his pants are back on.

Annoyed, her voice beca a bit stiff as she stated her purpose directly.

"Li Yuan, our school’s Principal Ma wants to et you. Please co by the administration building when you have a mont."

Li Yuan’s surprised voice ca from the other end. "Principal Ma wants to see ? Who is he?"

Qi Siyu rolled her eyes, speechless, and snorted coldly. "Li Yuan, have you even read the school brochure? Or the approval form for the student entrepreneurship grant you applied for?"

"Uh, I haven’t had the chance to look at it yet. What’s up?"

Hearing Li Yuan’s casual response, Qi Siyu grew so furious she wanted to march right over and bite him. She ground her teeth in irritation, her mouth going dry.

"Li Yuan, you really are a busy man. Please make so ti to look at the school’s official website."

"Yeah, I’ll take a look when I have a mont... HISS! Be gentle!"

There was sothing off about Li Yuan’s voice. It was accompanied by heavy, labored breathing, as if he were in the middle of doing sothing... indescribable.

Qi Siyu’s mind blanked for a second before it hit her. Was that philanderer fooling around while taking her call? She had just experienced that sa kind of heavy, hurried breathing from a man a few days ago—and it had been with Li Yuan.

That little scoundrel is really living it up! So unprofessional!

She cursed inwardly as a sour feeling washed over her. Here I am, sitting naively in my office thinking about this womanizer, and he’s probably forgotten I even exist...

At that thought, the sour feeling of jealousy flooded her completely. With a cold huff, she hung up the phone.

After ending the call, Qi Siyu’s cheeks were flushed, and her sexy, bright eyes flashed with complicated emotions.

She took the guitar from her desk, cradled it in her arms, and plucked the strings again. But she couldn’t find the feeling she’d had before; her heart was in turmoil.

Qi Siyu knew exactly why she felt so unsettled. She sighed faintly.

"You womanizing little man, you’ve truly stolen my heart."

「Longyu Building, Datang Technology Company.」

In the CEO’s office, Li Yuan watched Xia Zhijin, whose cheeks were flushed as she wiped her mouth with a wet tissue. He reached out and fondly stroked her head.

This foolish girl seed incapable of refusal, compliantly agreeing to any of his outrageous requests. Even doing shaful, indescribable things here in the office...

"Ahem, Zhijin, that was a call from my class advisor, Ms. Qi," Li Yuan explained. "She said a vice principal wants to see , probably about student entrepreneurship."

Listening to Li Yuan’s explanation, Xia Zhijin gave a soft, shy "Mm," not suspecting any improper relationship between him and Qi Siyu.

"Are you going now?" she asked quietly.

"In a bit." Li Yuan shook his head and elaborated, "I need to look up this Principal Ma first."

"Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle."

On the spacious, luxurious desk sat a high-spec desktop computer.

Li Yuan pulled up Daxia University’s official website and, in short order, found out just who this "Principal Ma" was.
