After the class ended, Qiao Xi held her phone and sighed.
She just wanted to look up information on Li City University. Why would she involve Gu Zheng? Zhou Guanjin was so unreliable. He would screw up whenever she really needed him.
She propped her chin and fell into deep thought. Logically speaking, she could hack into Li City University's system to investigate what she wanted to know. However... She remembered that Mo Yuan had told her not to touch Li City University's system. At that time, she was not interested in Li City University, so she had casually agreed.
Now that she thought about it, why did Mo Yuan disallow her from touching Li City University's system? Could it be that Mo Yuan was also studying here? It was not impossible. The last time they chatted, was Mo Yuan not in Li City?
In addition, Qiao Xi thought that Mo Yuan should not be too old. It was very likely that Mo Yuan was a student of Li City University. Which department, though? Computer programming?
Her ringing phone interrupted her thoughts. Gu Zheng called to ask her where she was. The chauffeur who sent her to university this morning had something going on and could not come, so he came to pick her up.
This was good too. She could take this opportunity to tell Gu Zheng that she wanted to look up information about Li City University. Qiao Xi put away her phone, put her hands in her pockets, and walked lazily toward the car park.
When she reached the passenger door of the car, Qiao Xi reached out to pull the handle but it did not budge... She could only knock on the window to get the person inside to unlock the car. Just then, the window of the front passenger seat rolled down.
"Sit in the front."
Gu Zheng's voice drifted over from the front. Qiao Xi was stunned for a moment. "You're driving today?"
Thinking about it, this seemed to be the first time she saw Gu Zheng drive the car himself. Previously, he would always sit in the back like a lord. Thinking that she still had something to ask of Gu Zheng today, she very obediently opened the car door and got in. She crossed her legs and placed her hands on her lap. She was full of smiles. "I'm really sorry to have troubled you to come and pick me up."
Gu Zheng glanced at her casually. "Don't speak so sarcastically."
Qiao Xi: "???"
She was finally trying to be polite to him, yet he said she was being sarcastic? Was he crazy?!
Taking a deep breath, Qiao Xi stabilized her emotions that were on the verge of erupting and gnashed her teeth before smiling. "What are you talking about? I'm just thanking you."
"Thank you? I think you're burning my bones to ashes." Gu Zheng snorted. This woman did not even know how to beg. She was so stupid.
Gu Zheng could guess the reason for Qiao Xi's change in attitude. It was probably because Zhou Guanjin had told her about how to get the information about Li City University. This woman wanted him to give in. Her method of begging... was unacceptable.
Qiao Xi's gaze changed a few times. She remembered that her teacher had said that men were unable to resist the praise of women, and there was no man who did not like hearing nice words. Hence, she cleared her throat and tried her best to say in the gentlest voice, "Gu Zheng, have you been busy recently? I often see you in Li City University."
Gu Zheng's hand that was holding the steering wheel froze.
Qiao Xi said, "Could it be that you're a director of Li City University? How impressive."
Gu Zheng stepped on the brakes abruptly. "Qiao Xi, get straight to the point. Don't disgust me like this!"
Qiao Xi coughed and straightened her back. She said seriously, "I just wanted to ask if you're a director of Li City University. If you are, I'd like your help. I want to see the student records of Li City University from 20 years ago. I only want to see the records from the math department."
Gu Zheng tapped the steering wheel. "So you have a favor to ask of me?"
Qiao Xi said, "I guess so."
If Gu Zheng did not agree, she could threaten Zhou Guanjin to do it. If he did not agree either... she would give him a beating.
However, she would try her best not to resort to violence if she could. She smiled at Gu Zheng. "So, are you going to help me or not?"
Gu Zheng: "..."
For some reason, he actually sensed a threat from Qiao Xi's tone. Was this the attitude this woman had when asking for help? Was she threatening him?
Gu Zheng snorted coldly in his heart. When Qiao Xi's patience was about to run out, he slowly said, "I'm indeed a director of Li City University, and I also have the authority to look access student records..."
Qiao Xi saw a ray of hope, so she hurriedly straightened up. "Right? Checking student records is extremely easy for you, right? What do you say? Can you help me?"
"I can." Gu Zheng tilted his head and looked at her. "But I don't really want to help, Mrs. Gu."
Qiao Xi: "???"
This man was too arrogant!
Was he messing with her?
Qiao Xi rubbed her hands and was slightly unable to control her fists.
