Chapter 1 Prologue

  Qian Shi hung up the phone and walked towards the school gate.

  Ever since she came to McGill University, Qian Xino has not gone out of the school gate to eat anything. On the one hand, she simply didn't have time to go out, and on the other hand, it was also because the restaurants outside the school gate were definitely very expensive. Although the Macdonald Campus cafeteria is already quite luxurious, in Qian Xino's opinion, it's still more economical than eating out.

  Qian Shi Nu was bored and wandering around the school gate, her two feet carefully moving along a yellow line. A red Maserati suddenly stopped on Qian Shi Nu's left side, and a woman wearing sunglasses leaned out of the car window.

  "Got it."

  Qian Shi Nu bent down but didn't recognize who the woman calling her was?

  "Who are you?"

  The girl burst out laughing, took off her sunglasses, and a perfect face was revealed.

  "An Yongnuo, Vice President, sorry, I didn't recognize you just now."

  "It's okay, we've only met a few times, it's normal that you didn't recognize me. Hurry up and get on the bus."

  "Uh-huh, okay."

  Qian Shi Nuo carefully got into the Maserati on the right side, her heart still racing a bit. Although she didn't have a luxury car at home, thanks to Feng Yu's influence, she had sat in one before, but now that she was sitting in another luxurious vehicle again, Qian Shi Nuo couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

  "Don't forget to fasten your seatbelt." An Yu reminded warmly.

  "Oh, okay." Qian Shi Nuo was really too nervous and almost forgot to fasten his seatbelt.

  Sitting in the Maserati, Qian Xun felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. She didn't know why An Yuhan would suddenly ask her out to dinner, as they weren't familiar enough with each other to go out alone yet.

  "Shino, don't you think it's strange that I asked you out for dinner today?" An Yuannuan broke the awkward silence.

  "Ah, yes... no, no, no, it's not." Chisato replied with a flustered expression, herself unsure of what she was saying.

  "Hehe, you're really cute, no wonder Zi Mo likes you."

  "Really? Is that so?"

  "Uh-huh, Zimo had a younger sister before, but she passed away later. She said you look like her deceased sister."

  Senpai also thought of it, she would be considered cute because of her younger sister.

  "En, the president told me before."

  "So he told you about his sister, huh? This guy's got a pretty fast mouth."

  Qian Shi Nu smiled silently, without saying a word. From these words, she could sense that An Yu Nuan was a very gentle woman, and Zi Mo Ge and Yu Nuan Jie should be very happy together.

  "It's time, we've arrived, let's get off."

  "Uh-huh."

  Qian Shi walked out of the Maserati, it was already dusk, half of the sky was dyed crimson red, she felt a bit familiar with this scene. This is the most prosperous and high-end street in C City, the clothing stores, restaurants, or entertainment venues on this street are all top-notch, those who come to stroll around here are generally officials and nobles.

  "Xiao Nuo, wait here for a moment, I'll go park the car on the side."

  "Alright."

  Qian Shi Nu turned around and saw three very familiar words, "Feng Yi Ting". Wasn't this the same store that Feng Jian Xun had brought her to last time? No wonder it felt a bit familiar when she got off the car earlier.

  "Then, let's go in."

  An You warmed up one hand holding a Chanel bag, and with the other hand pulled Qian Shi Nu towards the dining hall.

  "Hey, vice president, let's change places to eat, this..." Qian Shi Nu looked at the luxurious restaurant in front of her and stopped suddenly. She knew that eating at such a place would be extremely expensive, and she also knew that An Nuan was a wealthy person, but it was a bit embarrassing for him to ask her to pay for such an expensive meal on their first time out together.

  "What's wrong, Shino." An Yuwen found it strange that Chishi Shino suddenly stopped in his tracks.

  "There is no..."

  "You're not thinking that things here are too expensive and you'll go bankrupt because of me?" An You Nuan said jokingly.

  "It's not like that."

  "Since it's not, then let's go."

  Qian Shi Nuo felt embarrassed and tried to make excuses, but did he really show it that obviously?

  As soon as I arrived at the entrance, two neatly dressed waiters bowed politely and asked, "Hello miss, how many are you?"

  "Two."

  "Which of the two options: Chinese food or Western food?"

  "Wait a minute." An You Nuan pulled up Qian Shi Nuo beside her and asked: "Shi Nuo, what do you want to eat?"

  "I... don't care." Qian Shi Nuo came here for the first time, she didn't know whether Chinese food was good or Western food was good. Generally, when she ate something, as long as it could fill her up, that was all that mattered, nothing else was important, even the taste was secondary.

  "Hehe, then let's have Western food."

  "Uh-huh."

  "Alright, you two come over here with me."

  "Okay."

  Qian Shi Nu followed behind An You Nuan, the environment here is really good, very quiet, just like a library. The main color of the restaurant is green, just like the name of the restaurant, 'Green Light City'.

  "It's so quiet, is this really a restaurant?"

  "Of course, many friends and family who come to eat here or have gatherings usually book a private room. The soundproofing effect is very good here, no matter how loud it gets inside, you can't hear anything outside. There are also window seats for couples, where they usually sit. On the other side, there's a screen blocking the view, so you don't have to worry about being too sweet and being seen by others, or losing romance. Finally, people like us who don't have friends or family here, and aren't with their boyfriend, can only sit in the most ordinary seats." An Younuo said with some disappointment.

  "So that's how it is, but why didn't the vice president invite the president to come and eat together?" Qian Shi Nu could imagine that someone as wealthy as An You Nuan must have been to this high-end restaurant many times before, but she was also curious about why the president wasn't seen today.

  "He's so busy he can't come over."

  "Hehe, yeah, as a high-ranking official at such an age, you must be very busy."

  The waitress led An Yu and Nuan to the second floor, choosing a corner seat for them. Although it was a corner, there were no other people around, only the crisp sound of birds chirping everywhere. "Please sit here, this is the menu."

  "Alright."

  An Yu handed over the menu to Qian Shi Nuo, "Shi Nuo, you choose, see what you want to eat?"

  "I? Vice president, or would you rather come, I'm easy about it." Qian Shi couldn't even order dishes, let alone Western food that she had never eaten before.

  "Alright, I'll have a red wine glazed steak, medium rare. How about you?"

  "I... I'm just like you."

  "Ah, then two portions, and add two glasses of orange juice, thank you." An You said softly to the server beside her.

  "Okay, please wait."

  "Hey, I'm asking you, does Feng Jie Xun like you?" An Yu warmed up with gossip.

  "What? Vice President, what are you talking about? He... how could he possibly like me?" Qian Shi Nu was completely startled by An Yu Nuan's question, and her face turned bright red as if smoke was coming out of it.

  "Haha, Shino, look at your face, it's all red like that, and you still say nothing. Alright, from now on, don't call me Deputy Director anymore, it sounds strange. Just call me Younuan from now on."

  "But you're my senior..."

  "I'm serious, senior sister, you even called me old, so from now on, just call me You Nuan."

  "Alright, I understand... Yu Nuann."

  "Miss, your steak and orange juice."

  "Thank you."

  "Thank you."

  An You Nuan and Qian Shi Nu both politely said thank you.

  "Don't be polite, take your time."

  Qian Shi Nu looked at the steak in front of him and subconsciously touched his stomach, wondering if this would really fill his growling belly. The portion was too small, not enough to stuff his teeth, Western food, Western food, if I had known it was so little, I would have said I wanted Chinese food instead, China's plain white rice is more substantial after all.

  "Xiao Nuo, why aren't you eating? Don't you have an appetite?"

  "No, this steak smells great and looks good too, it's a bit of a waste to eat it." Qianshi Nuo explained in a very silly way.

  "Hehe."

  Qian Shi Nu picked up the knife and fork, although she had never eaten steak from childhood to adulthood, but still saw how people ate steak on TV, so she knew how to use the knife and fork. The posture didn't look like it was her first time eating at all. As the saying goes, Qian Shi Nu's pretentious feeling was quite authentic.

  "Is it still to your taste?"

  "Ah, it's delicious." Sena thought that the food was quite tasty, but the only thing that was unsatisfactory and unbearable was that there wasn't enough of it.

  "Right, Xiao Nu, actually I asked you out for dinner this time because there's something important to discuss, almost forgot while eating."

  "What's up?"

  "This time, Zi Mo has assigned the task of the reunion dinner to you. This task is not simple, you are not only the host, but also need to choose the venue for the dinner, and everything about the content of the dinner needs to be done well."

  "What? There's still so much to do?" Qian Shi Nu was shocked by An Yu Nuan's words, she had thought that there would be a script for her and all she needed to do was read it out loud, but she never imagined that there was this much work involved.

  "Uh, there are many things to be done, and Zimo is willing to entrust such an important matter to you, which means he really trusts you."

  "Hehe, yeah." Qian Shi Nu was now like a mute eating bitter melon, with grievances that couldn't be expressed. She would rather not have gotten herself into this trouble. Why did the gentle person from last night start tormenting himself after just one night?

  "By the way, I hosted the last two sessions, so I have some experience. If you need any help, just let me know, and if there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me. I'll do my best to assist you. You should have my phone number by now, right?"

  "Uh-huh, got it, thanks Yu Nuann."

  "Don't be polite, you might not know the importance of this matter. Every time the school holds an activity, it's hosted by a student selected from our student union. If the event goes smoothly and is successful, we'll get great benefits and it will also be recorded in your file, which is closely related to your future bonus points and studying abroad quota. So, Shi Nuo, you can't underestimate this." An Yu Nu said with emphasis.

  It turns out there's still a benefit, so I guess I've made a profit. It seems that Thousand Hours really takes care of me. Thousand Hours smiled and said, "I'll take it seriously."
