In the end, Gu Yuzhi didn’t eat a single bite, truly validating Xi Zuzi’s inadvertent saying.

To prevent everyone from discussing Shangguan Wanwan’s topic again, he asked the girls to rest before having the class, while he hurriedly pulled Gu Qiusha away, claiming to accompany her in further research.

Bao Gucheng didn’t expose his thoughts, accompanying Xi Zuzi for another round of peach blossom brew before sending her to class.

Three buildings away from the teaching block, Xi Zuzi stopped: "Xiao Cheng, please head back."

Bao Gucheng hadn’t spent enough time with her and was reluctant to leave, tightly holding her delicate hand: "Since I’m already here, I’ll escort Miss Zuzi to the classroom."

Xi Zuzi’s tone was gentle: "Ah, that’s quite inappropriate..."

Xi Rubao walking ahead heard this and was delighted, teasing back: "Sis, grant brother-in-law’s wish, with his tall and handsome looks, there’s nothing inappropriate."

Wu Qianman followed her, chuckling with a hand covering her mouth: "Mr. Bo’s tall and handsome presence might attract quite an audience."

Xi Zuzi nodded at these words: "Mm, they seem to have a preference for...the uncle type."

Bao Gucheng’s lips twitched slightly, nearly stumbling.

He was still young and vigorous, not quite an uncle, right?

In the afternoon is a public history lecture, students still from various colleges and grades, taught by the Ancient Biology Department’s Professor Peng.

Maybe it’s because the Pangu Tomb has been frequently in the news, Professor Peng spent the entire class educating on the grandiosity and greatness of the Pangu Tomb, unable to resist mentioning Xi Zuzi every few minutes, praising her contributions to the Pangu Tomb’s appraisal.

This had a few individuals in the audience visibly displeased.

Especially seeing Xi Zuzi with her cheek propped on her hand, lost in thought, seemingly indifferent, which annoyed them even more:

"Senior Sister Li, that’s Xi Zuzi, every time we encounter her, we get incredibly unlucky. Previously when we were putting up posters on the campus path, running into her, we couldn’t put one up no matter how hard we tried!"

"Right, right, it’s the same in the classroom, very eerie!"

"Her sister, Xi Rubao, keeps saying things like ’doing three good deeds a day,’ and ’words have power above,’ all mysterious-like."

"Indeed, indeed, there’s a freshman named Bian Xiaohong at the Medical College who offended their sisters and was made almost dazed."

"Haha, pretending to be mysterious, it’s just coincidence. There are no ghosts or gods in this world. If there were, those killed ghosts would have already come out for revenge, anyone could figure that out!"

"True, true, it was Senior Sister Li who woke us up with one sentence, we were really worrying for nothing before..." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

At this point, Chu Qiaoen turned back with a cold laugh: "You’re still worried about this at this stage? Did you get the promotional plan ready or not?"

Earlier at noon, she had suggested to them to promote Mr. Wu by stepping on Wu Qianman and Xi Langyue.

Of course, her personal motive was to deal a heavy blow to Xi Zuzi.

But now she was slightly doubtful whether these fans of Mr. Wu were of any use!

Facing Chu Qiaoen’s disdainful gaze, Li Ruijia defiantly replied: "Doing promotion is our department’s expertise!"

The other senior sisters chimed in: "We drafted the plan by noon and have sent it to the support group president for finalization, Qiao En, don’t rush us."

That fast?

Chu Qiaoen pondered and then threw out another challenge: "Have you secured the operational funds? If not, I can lend you some..."

Li Ruijia: "No need. I have plenty of money, the launch fund of 800,000 yuan is already allocated."

Chu Qiaoen was a bit surprised: "..."

Is this Minister Li a character?

Though 800,000 isn’t much to them, the rich families, it’s a fortune to ordinary families.

Mr. Wu’s fans have hidden talents, surprisingly quite capable?

"Haha, Qiao En, what’s that look on your face, envious of our Minister Li? Although there’s no ghosts or gods in this world, our Minister Li is like a goddess in our hearts, there’s no publicity she can’t handle!" All the senior sisters laughed lowly.

"Heh."

From the front row far off, Xi Zuzi suddenly curved her red lips, unable to stifle a chuckle.
