Xia Yangyang said, “He’s not my boyfriend, so using me is pointless. You could never get an exclusive interview with Gu Qichen.”

Gong Xue’er felt somewhat relieved when she heard this confirmation from Xia Yangyang.

It took her a great deal of effort to pry Lu Haotian from Xia Yangyang’s clutches, so wouldn’t it be a godsend for her if she jumped into the arms of Gu Qichen?

Gong Xue’er replied, “I have my ways to handle the interview, but since the chief wants us to work together, I wish you wouldn’t bring your emotions into the task. As I’m left in charge of this operation, you should follow my arrangements.”

Xia Yangyang:” “.

Xia Yangyang didn’t really care about this matter.

Only she knew how busy Gu Qichen was—how could a person, who might fly to four different countries in a single day, have spare time to be interviewed by a small campus media outlet?

Thus, the first day of the school year came to an end.

In the evening, Xia Yangyang returned to Maple Villa.

She saw a sticky note left by Gu Qichen on the refrigerator.

It read, “On a business trip in Melbourne for three days.”

Xia Yangyang heaved a sigh of relief, but oddly, she felt a hint of disappointment.

Remembering the events of the previous night, a pricking sensation lingered in Xia Yangyang’s heart.

In the evening, Xia Liangdong called her, asking her to prepare for the birthday banquet of the Gu family patriarch in two days.

Xia Yangyang directly stated her disinterest and added that she had already given the invitation to Xia Weiwei.

Xia Liangdong sighed but didn’t say anything else.

After hanging up, Xia Yangyang stared blankly at the sticky note left by Gu Qichen.

Saying that the birthday banquet for Gu Shengyuan was in two days and Gu Qichen would be away on a business trip in three days, would Gu Qichen be present or absent?

If Gu Qichen wasn’t there, how could the Gu family use this opportunity to arrange a blind date for him?

Or was it that Gu Qichen deliberately planned the business trip to escape the arrangement?

In the following two days, Gong Xue’er tried everything to connect with the secretarial department of Shengyuan Group.

But all the responses were negative.

Gu Qichen would not accept any media interviews.

During a meeting at the news agency, Xu Li persuaded her to give up Gu Qichen and choose another task, but Gong Xue’er insisted, saying, “I heard that the Gu family patriarch is having a birthday banquet tomorrow night. I have an invitation. As long as I see Gu Qichen there, I can convince him to accept our interview.”

Everyone was surprised. Gu Shengyuan’s birthday banquet was a family event held at the Gu Family mansion. There were rumors that the main purpose of the banquet was to arrange a blind date for Gu Qichen. Many wealthy girls from prestigious families in Feng City had received invitations, but who would have thought that Gong Xue’er had one, too.

Nobody knew the details of Gong Xue’er’s background, they just knew she was good friends with Xia Yangyang, who was known to be the daughter of a wealthy family. So it seemed unlikely that her family was anything less than affluent.

No wonder she dared to propose an interview with Gu Qichen.

At this moment, someone asked, “Yangyang, did you receive an invitation?”

Xia Yangyang said, “No.”

But Gong Xue’er immediately said, “Don’t worry, tomorrow I will take Yangyang with me.”

Xia Yangyang didn’t expect Gong Xue’er to have an invitation to Gu Shengyuan’s birthday banquet. Still, it might have been something Lu Haotian arranged for her.

Thinking about this, Xia Yangyang felt frustrated.

Xia Yangyang had no interest in attending any blind date banquet for Gu Qichen, or else she wouldn’t have so easily handed the invitation to Xia Weiwei.

But the next evening, after class, Gong Xue’er stopped Xia Yangyang from leaving, saying, “You go to the newsroom and get the photography and interview equipment. In a bit, you will go with me to the Gu Mansion.”

Xia Yangyang said, “I’m not going, and without an invitation, I won’t be let in.”

With a smug face, Gong Xue’er deliberately swung an invitation in front of Xia Yangyang, “Don’t worry, I have an invitation. If I take you, you can get in. Besides, this interview is both our responsibility. You must assist me.”

Xia Yangyang was still indifferent: “I don’t want to go.”

Suddenly, Gong Xue’er pulled out several photos from her backpack: “Then, do you want to take this picture with you?”
