On the morning of the 28th, at an airport in the second district, An Tianfeng boarded a plane.
Sitting by the window, watching the airport rapidly shrink, An Tianfeng sighed.
He had originally been hunting in a relatively primitive forest when he suddenly received a call from his assistant, saying that Zhong’s son was looking for him.
After asking, he learned that Zhong’s company had encountered problems.
Ending the hunting trip, An Tianfeng decided to go to Zilang to take a look. He also wanted to reclaim from Zhong Yunze the authority he had lost when facing Zhong Yunxin.
The Zhong family’s company was just a small one, and the problem was said to be internal. Without relying on his own An Group, merely using his years of business experience, he could easily resolve it.
He was very confident about this.
What made him sigh was not the Zhong family’s matter, but his daughter’s issue.
At the same time he received Zhong Yunze’s call, An Tianfeng also learned that his daughter had taken a female college student to live at home.
After conducting an investigation and discussing with Yu Liang, An Tianfeng knew that his daughter was not a lesbian. She was probably just too close to her female servants in the villa and had little contact with men, hence her closeness to female friends.
However, understanding did not mean he could accept it.
Yaoyao was already eighteen; it was time to let her interact with men, otherwise how would she get married in the future?
So, who should he send to be by his daughter’s side?
Someone around her age, with good character, preferably capable.
He might as well check with his old friends in Zilang to see if there was a suitable candidate.
Pulling down the window shade, reclining his seat, An Tianfeng put on an eye mask, lay back, and fell asleep.
…
On the other side, Xia Yu logged into An Siyao’s account.
Today was the first day of school, and the psychological counseling room he needed was already ready. It was time to start his mission at the academy.
From the wardrobe, he took out a neat outfit and put it on. Xia Yu took a car to Dongzhi Xiang Academy.
Today was the first day of school, and there was a morning assembly.
All the students came to the auditorium and sat down to listen to the principal’s speech.
The principal was a middle-aged woman who looked somewhat old-fashioned. She read from a script she had used every semester since she took office, merely changing the date and season.
The girls in the audience were drowsy.
When the principal finished speaking, the girls clapped their hands enthusiastically. This enthusiasm was genuine, but not for the principal’s speech—it was for her stepping down.
After the principal, the student host said, “Next, please welcome the student council president to speak.”
The students in the audience began whispering:
“Is Senior An Siyao going to speak?”
“It’s been a month. I wonder if she’s become even more handsome.”
As they chattered, Feng Yujia stepped onto the stage.
The auditorium fell silent for three seconds.
Under the teacher’s prompting, awkward applause finally came.
“Was the student council president Feng Yujia?”
“Then what does Senior An Siyao do again?”
The girls fell into thought.
Feng Yujia’s speech was short. After she stepped down, the student host continued, “Finally, please welcome the student representative to speak.”
Seeing a figure emerge from below, the girls clapped absentmindedly, their applause scattered. But when the figure turned around, their clapping instantly grew fervent, even more enthusiastic than when the principal had stepped down.
Smiling at the students below, Xia Yu maintained an elegant demeanor and began reading his prepared speech:
“In this season when pears blossom…”
His speech was also short. After he bowed and stepped down, the girls’ applause was filled with reluctance.
“Senior An Siyao is indeed even more handsome.”
“She seems so elegant!”
“Just like nobility.”
The girls’ chatter reached the principal’s ears. She turned to the vice principal beside her and asked, “What’s going on with this An Siyao?”
The student representative was chosen by the vice principal, so the principal asked her.
The vice principal was taken aback, sensing the unfriendliness in the principal’s tone. She replied, “An Siyao is the most popular student in the school, and her academic performance is also excellent.”
“What popularity? Nonsense!” The old-fashioned principal frowned. “This is an elite school, not an idol school. We cultivate the upper class, not actors chasing popularity!”
Glancing back at the girls still discussing, the principal added, “Ask An Siyao to come to my office!”
“But she’s just a bit popular,” the vice principal hesitated.
“If she didn’t deliberately show off and win favor, how could her popularity be so high?” The principal sneered. “She’s using these superficial tricks. Who is her parent?”
The vice principal answered, “An Tianfeng.”
The principal’s body stiffened.
A moment later, her expression returned to stern, “Even if she’s the daughter of the An Group, she cannot trample on Dongzhi Xiang’s philosophy!”
The vice principal added, “Her grandfather is Yu Liang.”
The principal turned her head sharply, “Yu Liang from Daliang Capital?”
“Yes,” the vice principal replied.
After five seconds of silence, the principal coughed, “I’ve thought about it. Meeting her directly is too abrupt. I’ll remind her indirectly when I have the chance.”
Although the An Group had wealth and power, An Tianfeng had no authority over Dongzhi Xiang. But Daliang Capital was different—Yu Liang was a major shareholder of Dongzhi Xiang.
The vice principal added, “Why wasn’t this marked in her file?”
The principal complained to the vice principal. She had almost made a big mistake.
“Their family intentionally concealed it,” the vice principal explained. “Besides, you don’t usually involve yourself in school matters, so I didn’t mention it.”
“Are there any other students like her?” the principal asked.
“No, the rest of the files are properly marked.”
Hearing this, the principal felt reassured.
Adjusting her collar, she glanced again toward Xia Yu.
Although she dared not interfere with Xia Yu due to his family background, in her heart, she still held the same view.
Looking disdainfully at the girls surrounding Xia Yu, she lamented their superficiality.
After the morning assembly, all the students returned to their classrooms to begin the day’s lessons.
At 2:45 PM, after the day’s lessons ended, fifteen students from the fifteen classes of the school received a text message.
『At 3 PM, if you’re free, you can come to the psychological counseling room next to the student council』
Signed by An Siyao.
Each message had a slightly different time.
If it were someone else’s invitation, the fifteen would certainly have ignored it, but this was An Siyao’s invitation.
What was An Siyao planning to do?
The fifteen were puzzled.
At three o’clock, Xia Yu, waiting in the psychological counseling room, saw the first two girls he had invited.
They were Feng Yujia and Feng Yumo.
“Yaoyao, what are you planning to do?” The two girls looked puzzled at the room full of beds.
