She was not paying attention to what the emcee said at all. With the flashing lights in front of her, she had to keep a straight face and hold the tray still and wait for the next set of instructions.

She didn’t know if it was an illusion or a psychological effect, but she couldn’t concentrate when Zhao Weili was standing next to her!

“Now, let the ribbon-cutting ceremony begin. Let’s welcome the mayor, Mr. Zhao Weili, to cut the ribbon for our Yan State University Library!”

“This student, isn’t it time to pass me the scissors?”

Suddenly, Zhao Weili’s deep and magnetic voice jolted Ji Ying out of her daze.

As she turned around, she saw Zhao Weili looking at him with his head slightly tilted, his bright and deep eyes reflecting her own. At the same time, everyone else was also looking at her. In an instant, she was the center of attention.

“I…” Ji Ying said in shock. Then, she pulled herself together, and her face turned red. She quickly raised the tray in her hand.

At this moment, she felt her face turn red and hot. She felt that all eyes were focused on her, making her feel breathless. Even her palms were covered in sweat.

“I can’t focus but I don’t want anything untoward happening. However, as long as I’m by Zhao Weili’s side, I can’t focus, and I can’t do anything about it!”

Zhao Weili saw her reaction, and his lips curled into a smile. However, in Ji Ying’s eyes, she felt like she was being ridiculed.

In an instant, Ji Ying felt that she was being looked down upon. She found whatever courage was left in her and calmed down.

“Mr. Zhao, scissors!”

Zhao Weili’s expression turned serious as his gaze fell on her face. That gentle smile of hers dazzled him.

When he first found out that Yan State University had invited him to a ribbon-cutting ceremony, he had some thoughts in his mind. However, he really did not expect to meet Ji Ying so soon and even have her standing by his side.

Ji Ying was now wearing a cheongsam that fit her body well. Her fragrance lingered in his nose, and her faint smile was reflected in his eyes.

The youthful Ji Ying he had seen in the office and the mature Ji Ying in the cheongsam were both so perfect that he felt moved.

Zhao Weili was only dazed for a moment, and he quickly returned to his senses. He only smiled at Ji Ying before turning around.

In an instant, this scene was recorded by multiple cameras. The young man and woman, who were in different moods, smiled side by side.

Zhao Weili took out a pair of scissors from the tray and said politely, “Thank you!”

“You’re welcome!”

Soon, Zhao Weili cut the ribbon, and the emcee announced the success of the ceremony with an excited and animated tone. He then invited the mayor to give his speech.

Zhao Weili went off-script and gave his speech. It made everyone’s heart thump with excitement, and he received a round of applause.

After the ceremony ended, Ji Ying immediately sneaked away. However, Zhao Weili’s voice rang out from behind her.

“Student Ji Ying, please wait!”

Ji Ying’s body stiffened. She was so shocked by the voice that she almost lost her balance. She turned around and saw Zhao Weili looking at her with a bright smile.

Many people nearby looked over in surprise. These people did not know what the relationship between the two was, but all kinds of speculations instantly appeared in their minds.

Ji Ying’s eyes flashed with annoyance as she stared at them. She could not leave even if she wanted to, so she could only stop and pretend to be polite. “Mr. Zhao, what’s the matter?”

Hearing the conversation between the two, Zhang Zian and the others beside Zhao Weili were all surprised. “Mr. Zhao, you actually know a student from our school?”

“That’s right! This morning, she came to my office and rejected my suggestion to modify her proposal. This is the first time I’ve seen a student who doesn’t care about fame and fortune,” Zhao Weili said calmly.

…

Ji Ying’s heart sank when she saw the principal frowning.

“Mayor, don’t worry. Student Ji Ying’s proposal will be revised immediately, and she will personally send it to you!”

Ji Ying fell silent upon hearing this.

Zhao Weili acted as if he did not notice anything and nodded with a faint smile. “No need to force matters. We still have to respect Ji Ying’s personal wishes!”

“How could this be? Her wish is to do her part as a student and listen to the leader’s arrangements. This is also for her own future!” The principal made the final decision without even asking Ji Ying.

Zhao Weili’s faint smile deepened when his eyes landed on Ji Ying’s shocked and speechless face.
