“Oh… Nope. We will meet at the hotel,” Chen Mengyan shook her head and said.

Professor Wang was even more sure that Chen Mengyan was lying upon hearing her words. Why would friends meet at the hotel? What kind of friend is this? In his view, Chen Mengyan was a student, so the person who invited her to lunch must also be a student. When students go for lunch, why would they go separately? Isn’t this nonsense?

“Oh, what does your friend do?” Professor Wang did not expose her on the surface, but nodded and asked.

“My friend is also a student at our school. He is in the computer science faculty,” said Chen Mengyan.

“He’s from our school…” Professor Wang frowned, and was even more certain of his speculation. Sure enough, her friend who invited her is also from our school. Then it’s even more impossible!

Why don’t they go together if they are from the same school? Who are you fooling?

“Yeah…” Chen Mengyan was conversing with Professor Wang half-heartedly. She was a bit nervous in her heart. I don’t know how Yang Ming will handle this matter.

“Mengyan, let’s go together in my car later.” Professor Wang was determined that Chen Mengyan had lied to him, so he decided to go to the restaurant with Chen Mengyan to see how she would act at that time.

“No, it’s okay…” Chen Mengyan shook her head…

Professor Wang watched Chen Mengyan walk with him towards the parking lot. Although Chen Mengyan said no, Professor Wang thought that Chen Mengyan was just being courteous and reserved, so he didn’t take it seriously. Otherwise, why was she going in towards the parking lot if she wasn’t going in his car?

At the parking lot, Professor Wang took out his car keys and opened the door of a Mazda VI. He was about to call Chen Mengyan. Professor Wang also wanted to show Chen Mengyan that his family was quite well off, and she wouldn’t suffer if she married into the family.

However, when Professor Wang turned around, he watched shockingly as Chen Mengyan also took out her car keys and opened the door of an Audi S5! This made Professor Wang’s eyes pop out!

An Audi S5 is much more expensive than my Mazda VI. One Audi can buy several Mazdas. Professor Wang rubbed his eyes as he watched Chen Mengyan sit in the driver’s seat. He had to re-examine Chen Mengyan!

Professor Wang originally thought that Chen Mengyan’s family was just average and didn’t have much money after he noticed the clothes she wore usually. But when he saw her Audi S5, this thought changed immediately…

How can she afford this car if her family is not somewhat wealthy?

If this was the case, then Chen Mengyan marrying his grandson and becoming his granddaughter-in-law did not mean she was achieving a higher social position… It seemed that his plan was slightly flawed. Since Chen Mengyan was a child of such a family, she definitely wouldn’t agree to his request so easily!

Professor Wang sighed and blamed himself for being busy in the laboratory every day. He had no time to look at student files or anything. If he knew Chen Mengyan’s family background earlier, he would change his plan and use a more gentle approach.

Professor Wang was normally a righteous person. At school, he did not pay attention to outside matters, but now it seemed that this attitude was to his disadvantage!

Professor Wang started the car anxiously and followed Chen Mengyan’s Audi S5…

Chen Mengyan drove her car to the parking lot of the new Song Jiang International Hotel. Professor Wang did not expect this would be where they were having lunch! This was the most high-end hotel in the city. One would not be able to dine here without having at least a few thousand yuan…

Could it be that Chen Mengyan really has an appointment with a friend here? Professor Wang frowned, but he didn’t quite believe it. What Chen Mengyan said previously appeared to be full of loopholes, so he could only pray that Chen Mengyan was lying!

Since he had already come to this point, there was no way out. In any case, Professor Wang could only force himself to go all the way, “Chen Mengyan, has your friend arrived? Where is he?”

“He should be here… I’ll go to the reception to ask…” Chen Mengyan locked the car and entered the hotel lobby. Professor Wang was now more convinced that Chen Mengyan had lied to him this time!

Ask the hotel reception? How can the hotel reception remember whether your friend has come or not? Maybe they don’t even know your friend, let alone ask…

Professor Wang thought that Chen Mengyan must be booking a room. Then when she told him the room number, she would wait for him to back off due to embarrassment. Professor Wang had already exposed Chen Mengyan’s little conspiracy in his heart. How could he let her wish come true?

So he didn’t speak. He smiled and watched Chen Mengyan go to the counter as he stood in the hotel lobby calmly. Although the cost here was very high, it was still affordable for Professor Wang. Let alone the fact that his son had a company, even his salary was also very high!

Especially during this time when the old Head of Department was about to retire. He was competing with another deputy head for the position of head. In his view, the other deputy head’s qualifications were not as good as his. Therefore, he could be promoted as long as he kept active and established connections.

Professor Wang was thinking that he should talk to Xiao Qing, the head of the computer science department, one night, and buy something to visit her godfather, Liu Weishan. Professor Wang still didn’t dare to look for Liu Weishan directly. But since Xiao Qing was basically at the same level as himself and also a junior, he thought that she would probably help him.

Liu Weishan was the deputy principal in charge of teaching in the school. He had great authority in appointing and assessing Head of Departments. The university principal would not be involved in these things usually. So Liu Weishan was the key to whether Professor Wang could achieve his goal.

In fact, Professor Wang looked righteous on the surface, but he actually had a thirst for power. Otherwise, he would not compete for this position. If he didn’t have this personality problem, it was impossible that he would use his professor’s authority to find faults with Chen Mengyan to pressure her into matching with his grandson.

However, what Professor Wang thought was, I will be the Head of the Economics Department soon. This is also a very high position if you think about it. I guess Chen Mengyan’s family will not object to this matter when they know about it, right?

While Professor Wang was happily thinking that everything would be okay, Chen Mengyan walked to the reception counter rapidly.

“Hello, madam. Can I help you?” A staff member at the counter asked quickly when she saw Chen Mengyan approach.

“I just need to ask something. Yang Ming has reserved a private room here, right? Has he arrived?” asked Chen Mengyan.

“Yang Ming?” The staff was stunned for a moment. She was about to ask Chen Mengyan for the private room number that Chen Mengyan booked, but suddenly she remembered something. Isn’t Yang Ming the person that the senior president, Guo Jianchao, personally asked us to take note of?

Moreover, Guo Jianchao also greeted him at the door when he came just now! This led the staff to remember that Yang Ming was a VIP of the hotel and he could use the VIP rooms at any time in the future!
