C161 Returning to School Yang Zitan Questioned Him
Lin Dong lent a hand to Xia Qinghee in tidying up her home. They also agreed that he would visit the Industrial and Commerce Bureau the next day to apply for a company license. The business of renting out dozens of properties was certainly substantial enough to warrant establishing a company. Another advantage of setting up a company was the potential for tax savings, which could significantly boost Lin Dong's income. These savvy tips were all courtesy of Xia Qinghee. With her extensive experience in the real estate industry, she was familiar with all the ins and outs that Lin Dong was oblivious to. He was convinced he had made the right choice in appointing her as his agent. Before leaving, he made sure to remind Xia Qinghee to rest well.
The roar of the Pagani Huayran filled the air as Lin Dong set off once more. He had arrived in the morning, but by the time he left, it was already midday. He had spent time not only tidying up Xia Qinghee's place but also checking on her well-being and treating her scrapes. The wounds on her face, inflicted during her ordeal with Qiao Soong, needed proper care to prevent infection. The Pagani Huayran zipped through the streets, its swift, lightning-like presence causing other vehicles to steer clear, allowing Lin Dong an unobstructed path back to campus.
Upon finding a discreet spot to park, he made his way to his class. Suddenly, a loud voice called out, "Lin Dong!" He looked up to see Liu Wenming approaching with a sense of urgency. "Why are you so worked up?" Lin Dong asked, taken aback. Liu Wenming replied, "Instructor Yang is furiously looking for you! What happened? You completely stood her up and didn't show up at the office!"
Lin Dong slapped his forehead in realization. He had been so preoccupied with Xia Qinghee that he had completely forgotten about his appointment with Yang Zitan. "What's her current state?" he inquired. Liu Wenming responded, "She's on the brink of losing it. She just went to the classroom looking for you!" He added, "I only just found out you didn't show up at the office. I was wondering why your heart-to-heart with her was taking so long."
"She couldn't find you earlier and wanted to call you. Thankfully, I quickly said you were in the restroom!"
"I dashed out to give you a call in secret, and luckily, I ran into you. You'd better hurry over now!"
Liu Wenming briefed Lin Dong on the situation swiftly.
Lin Dong clapped him on the shoulder, saying, "Thanks, bro. We'll grab a meal together later. I've got to go handle things with Instructor Yang now!"
With that, he turned and strode away.
Given Instructor Yang's legendary status and the precedent set by previous outbursts, Lin Dong knew that if he kept avoiding her, the fallout could be severe!
Aware of the stakes, Lin Dong moved quickly.
From behind, Liu Wenming called out, "Take care, and good luck!"
Lin Dong flashed an OK sign before vanishing at the end of the road.
He soon reached the classroom but didn't find Yang Zitan, so he headed to the office.
Instead of entering right away, he peeked through the door.
There, he saw Yang Zitan sitting behind a desk, her profile facing him. From his vantage point, he had a clear view of her graceful figure.
The office was empty except for her, and she didn't seem particularly upset.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Dong approached the door and knocked.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
The door echoed as Lin Dong entered.
Yang Zitan looked up instinctively, her pleasant expression turning stern.
She sat up straight, arms folded across her chest, and said, "Lin Dong, you actually decided to show up? I asked you to come to my office this morning. Where were you?"
