Chapter 201
Shen Wei exchanged an exorbitant amount of points for the blueprint.0
This blueprint was hidden in her spatial storage.0
After the banquet ended, everyone was quite drunk.0
It was Gu Qingyan who arranged for a driver to take everyone to a nearby hotel.0
It had been a long time since she had seen Gu Qingyan; he had gotten darker and thinner.0
But he also brought good news.0
The second store was working overtime to catch up on progress.0
It would be completed ahead of schedule.0
The former young master of Gu Corporation had become more adept at dealing with people.0
This time was just like that.0
Originally, the old professors had invited everyone to the banquet, which Shen Wei had mentioned in the group chat.0
Gu Qingyan hadn't participated in this dinner.0
But he had thoughtfully prepared a driver and booked rooms. As soon as the banquet ended, he arranged for their accommodation.0
Shen Wei didn't have to worry about a thing.0
Seeing Shen Wei was somewhat touched, Gu Qingyan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, and anyone could see that he was very satisfied with his arrangements.0
But he still pretended to be nonchalant: "It's nothing, that hotel belongs to my family anyway."3
This time, he had reserved all the suites and the most expensive king-size rooms for hospitality.0
To avoid having these people travel back to Starry Sky Kindergarten after dinner.0
The other colleagues from the kindergarten also went to the hotel Gu Qingyan had arranged.0
After all, it was the only five-star hotel in the city.0
It was said that even during the off-season, the cheapest room was still over 2,000 yuan per night.0
During peak season, the price would double or even triple.0
This time, they also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to experience it.0
It was said that the bathroom brands inside were top-of-the-line in the industry.0
Those kindergarten staff who lived in the city politely said: "We won't go!"0
But Gu Qingyan directly said: "The rooms have already been booked, you can just go directly."0
Gu Qingyan's hospitality was hard to refuse, and they themselves were a bit eager to go. So they half-heartedly agreed.0
Only Doctor Lu gave Gu Qingyan and Shen Wei an extra glance. He wanted to see if there was any gossip.3
But he had drunk a bit too much.0
Feeling dizzy, he could barely hold on.0
Now he just wanted to find a warm place to sleep.0
He left with regret.0
The driver took everyone away.0
Only Shen Wei and Gu Qingyan were left here.0
Shen Wei had only had a few sips, feeling slightly tipsy.0
The night was deep, and the lights were just coming on.0
The warm light seemed to add a filter to Gu Qingyan's face.0
Gu Qingyan was originally a very handsome type of man.0
Now the light favored him even more.0
After adding a layer of soft haze to his face, it became even more enchanting.0
Shen Wei said: "Why don't we take a walk along the street?"0
The gentle breeze caressing their cheeks felt quite comfortable.0
Gu Qingyan had originally wanted to spend more time with Shen Wei, so he readily agreed to her suggestion.0
The two of them walked along the street, the combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman really catching people's eyes.0
Shen Wei asked: "Is it very hard for you over there?"0
"It's alright!" Gu Qingyan had indeed suffered quite a bit.0
He was originally the youngest son in the family, the most pampered.0
Moreover, with capable older brothers and sisters above him, if he were in ancient times, he would have been the type of wastrel son. It was only after meeting Shen Wei that he started wanting to strive for success.0
He didn't know how to do anything.0
Fortunately, he received strong support from his family.0
His brother lent him this special assistant, who was very high-ranking.0
If no one from the Gu family was present, he could act as the CEO.0
Both his ability and tactics were top-notch.0
Sending him to supervise Gu Qingyan was somewhat of a waste of talent.0
But Gu Qingyan had really learned a lot from him.0
Including breaking bad habits like not being able to get up early in the morning.0
It was very difficult to start changing a habit formed over decades.0
Moreover, he realized there was still so much he needed to learn.0
It was certainly tough.0
But Gu Qingyan never mentioned this in front of Shen Wei.0
However, Shen Wei knew: "When Starry Sky Kindergarten's second store opens, I'll give you shares."0
Since Starry Sky became popular, many industry bigwigs wanted to throw money at her.0
As long as Shen Wei was willing, with one word,0
These bigwigs could even develop this brand into the largest chain of kindergartens in the country.0
But Shen Wei had refused them all.0
Starry Sky Kindergarten was absolutely controlled by Shen Wei.0
Other bigwigs could sense Shen Wei's intentions, so they changed to making donations and providing support without compensation.0
This time Shen Wei was willing to give out shares.0
Gu Qingyan was also surprised.0
He originally wanted to say something witty, but swallowed his words at the last moment.0
What he wanted to say was: "Could this be a betrothal gift?"3
But he was afraid she would deny it. So he casually talked about something else.0
In the night, the two walked side by side.0
After walking for two blocks, Shen Wei bought a drink from a vending machine by the road, took a few sips and said to Gu Qingyan: "I'll head back first then, you should rest early too!"0
Gu Qingyan gave a soft "Mm" in response, his tone gentle.0
When Gu Qingyan returned home and lay on his bed, he punched the air fiercely a couple of times, lamenting why he didn't have the courage earlier.0
He kept muttering to himself.0
Saying all the things he had wanted to say.0
But in front of Shen Wei, he didn't dare say a word. Secret love was truly a tormenting thing.3
...0
Early the next morning, the science bigwigs woke up in the magnificent hotel.0
The last scene they remembered was in the restaurant.0
When they went out, they found that all their old friends were staying here too.0
They visited each other's rooms.0
Each had a different decoration theme, and every one was luxurious.0
They usually didn't care much about clothing, food, accommodation or transportation. Even when they went out to give lectures, the hotels others booked for them were just ordinary standard rooms or deluxe standard rooms.0
They had never stayed in such high-end presidential suites before.0
And there were meeting rooms inside, with projectors and such that could be used.0
Breakfast was in buffet style, very rich.0
Any type of food you could think of, they had it here.0
"Goodness, how much does one night cost here?" When the scientists heard the price at the front desk, they couldn't help but wince.0
Oh my, they had really enjoyed a luxurious experience this time.0
It was said that even the bathtubs here were massage bathtubs, costing hundreds of thousands.3
Hearing this, the old professors collectively went back to their rooms to take a bath.0
Might as well use it since it's free.0
They never had the chance to use such things before.0
By the time they came out, it was already noon.0
Afterwards, the colleagues from Starry Sky Kindergarten all returned to work.0
Only Doctor Lu was left to entertain the group.0
They were all elderly, and the old professors asked Doctor Lu one after another: "Can you help us book tickets?"0
They had to rely on young people to fiddle with smartphones.0
Doctor Lu said: "Sure, but you need to go back to the kindergarten first, Shen Wei has something to discuss with you."0
"What is it? Didn't we already have the farewell dinner?" Everyone thought Starry Sky Kindergarten was going to treat them to another meal.0
It wouldn't be interesting to keep inviting them for meals. Moreover, they had already imposed too much during this period.0
Now that it was time to leave, they shouldn't linger anymore.0
Otherwise, they really feared they wouldn't want to leave Starry Sky Kindergarten.0
Doctor Lu said: "It seems there's been some leads regarding the gaming pods."0
"What?"0
The old professors exclaimed in surprise.0
Then they looked at each other and immediately stood up: "Then let's go back now!" They didn't want to wait even a minute longer.0
