Chapter 133: Chapter 133

Mr. Li was particularly interested. He knew it was the Imperial Club, a place he ordinarily wouldn’t dare frequent with his modest means. Word had it that a small glass of imported liquor there cost several thousand. Now, it turned out to be a property under the club’s president, and given his newfound connection to the president through Wang Qin, Mr. Li felt his nightlife was secured.

If Mr. Li harbored such thoughts, it was natural that other teachers would as well. After all, who among them, being ordinary people driven by human desires and emotions, wouldn’t aspire to this?

And so, the situation took a dramatic turn. The students of Qing University clearly saw who truly held power in their college—

Rescuing Wang Qin, skillfully handling Mr. Li, possessing methods that stumped even Professor Gao, defeating Shen Wanqing, leaving Senior Qin helpless... and finally, being revealed as the secret owner of the Imperial Club. All these events unfolded within two or three hours, leaving everyone feeling as if they were in a dream.

Gu Anxi was too strong!

Would Gu Anxi pull off an upset and defeat Qin Siyuan in the upcoming mid-November student council president election? It was hard to say now. Everyone was excited and expectant, with some supporting Qin Siyuan and others backing Gu Anxi.

But regardless of whom they supported, Shen Wanqing’s reputation was taking a severe blow today. Previously, wherever she went, people would look at her with envy. Now, however, there was only suspicion and disdain in their gazes.

Shen Wanqing clenched her fists. No, she wouldn’t lose to Gu Anxi. The Jiaxing auction next month was about to start. As long as she could make a name for herself there, Qing University would be nothing by comparison.

She looked at Gu Anxi, hatred glinting in her eyes. She wouldn’t let Gu Anxi savor her triumph for long. Once she became famous, not only Qin Siyuan but even Professor Bo and that Gu Changqing would have to look at her in a new light.

At Qing University, she, Shen Wanqing, was the best!

At this point, the matter was drawing to a close.

Mr. Li, having now taken Wang Qin under his care, was eager to show her to his wife, so he took Wang Qin and left immediately. The other teachers at Qing University didn’t dare to voice any objections. Who would dare to challenge the Director of the Education Bureau?

And so, Wang Qin became Mr. Li’s foster daughter. As soon as Mr. Li arrived home, he received a promotion letter. He had been promoted two levels and was now in charge of provincial education. Although it was a deputy position for the time being, he was confident that with Wang Qin, his little lucky star, present, the primary position was practically guaranteed. Mr. Li and his wife were so grateful they were almost ready to worship Wang Qin.

Clothes? Buy the best. Her current place wasn’t good enough? Change it. Mr. Li owned a well-decorated 120-square-meter apartment. Who else would he give it to if not his beloved new daughter?

As for her future career, Mr. Li thought it best to keep such a lucky charm by his side. This way, his wife could dote on her, and he could look after her. After graduation, she should stay with them and be mentored by Secretary Zhang...

Just like that, Wang Qin’s fortunes soared, and she became a legend at Qing University.

That evening, Gu Anxi and Chu Yan attended Mr. Li’s banquet. They watched Wang Qin become the center of attention and saw her grandmother weeping with excitement. Then, Gu Anxi and Chu Yan each grabbed a can of beer and stepped outside.

The wind outside was somewhat strong. The two young women leaned against the railing, sharing a smile.

"As for Wang Qin’s stepfather, what’s Wang Qin’s attitude?" Chu Yan quietly asked. "Actually, when I saw her grandmother crying, I thought the main reason for her happiness was probably that she no longer had to worry about Wang Qin being harassed anymore."

Gu Anxi hummed in agreement and gazed up at the night sky. After a moment, she finally said, "It’s not that she didn’t dare to stand up for herself, but..."

"It’s because of her mother, isn’t it?" Chu Yan finished her thought.

They could understand the reasoning, but they couldn’t bring themselves to agree with it.

The two of them silently finished their beers. Chu Yan, feeling the effects of the alcohol, decided to head home first.

The night grew deeper.
