Who wants to be a male model after being reborn? I want to be a male god.

Chapter 399 The Miss is Ready to Book a Luxury Hotel Again

After the briefing, there was a prolonged applause in the lecture hall.

The students even stayed in their seats and were reluctant to leave.

This is completely different from the usual briefing sessions that students are forced to attend. Everyone is staying here sincerely.

After all, there are not many opportunities to come into contact with big guys of this level.

Some people can't wait to go on stage to ask questions.

Xu Wen stood beside the podium.

He looked at the excited faces of the students below the stage, and an indescribable sense of accomplishment surged in his heart.

He had once been one of the ones down there, but now he was on top.

The projector has been turned off, but the afterimage of the Flash City Technology logo seems to still remain on the screen.

Just like the marks they left along the way, they are deeply engraved in the memory of this university.

Every class of students thereafter will hear of a legendary name: Xu Wen.

"Mr. Xu, look over there." Jia Mingliang came over quietly and pointed to the first row with his chin.

Dean Zhang of the School of Computer Science was talking in a low voice with Li Jiefeng, and from time to time he cast approving glances in the direction of the podium.

The old professor's gray hair shone silver under the light, and the wrinkles on his face were smoothed out, making him look particularly kind.

It can be seen that the teachers of the School of Computer Science are also very satisfied with today's briefing.

Xu Wen nodded slightly and adjusted the collar of his suit.

He noticed that although Li Jiefeng still looked sickly, his eyes and eyebrows revealed an unconcealable joy.

The department head, who usually coughs constantly, now stands straight and looks back at the crowded classroom from time to time, as if he is counting the spoils.

"Director Li can finally be proud of himself this time." Wan Zhi stood beside Xu Wen at some point, his voice very low.

His slender fingers were removing the laptop's cables with quick and clean movements.

After the briefing, his nervous mood gradually relaxed.

Xu Wen chuckled.

He knew that Li Jiefeng and Bian Ming didn't get along, but he didn't expect that Director Li would hold such a grudge.

He has been holding this grudge for a whole year, until today.

He felt a little funny for no reason.

Xu Wen glanced across the back row of the classroom.

Reporters from the school media were busy packing up their equipment, and several student union cadres were assisting them.

One of the girls with ponytails suddenly looked up and met Xu Wen's eyes. She immediately blushed and knocked over the tripod in a panic.

The metal bracket hit the floor with a crisp sound, attracting the attention of people around.

"It seems that Mr. Xu's charm is still as strong as before. He exudes a strong modern aura!" Jia Mingliang winked and poked Xu Wen with his elbow.

The nervousness on his face had long since disappeared, replaced by a flush of excitement.

The joy of a successful speech made him glow, and even his wrinkled plaid shirt looked much more refreshed.

He is no longer the nerdy guy who was too nervous to look up when talking to people outside. He can now stand on his own.

From the moment Jia Mingliang chose to leave the studio and join Shancheng, his growth has never stopped.

Xu Wen shook his head helplessly and was about to speak when a familiar smell of perfume suddenly wafted into his nose.

It is sweet but not greasy, with a refreshing floral and fruity scent, like a refreshing rose in summer.

He turned his head suddenly and saw that Gu Xingruo had stood on the steps beside the podium without him knowing when, her golden curly hair shining under the light.

"You spoke well, Teacher Xu." Gu Xingruo tilted her head and a playful arc appeared on her red lips.

She was wearing an off-white dress today, which made her skin look as white as snow.

The thin necklace around her neck sparkled brightly under the light.

Xu Wen recognized that it was the birthday present he had given her before.

"When did you come?" Xu Wen asked in surprise, and he subconsciously looked at his watch.

There were still more than two hours until their agreed dinner time, and he thought Gu Xingruo would go directly to the restaurant to wait for him.

The eldest lady has never liked such occasions and would avoid them whenever possible.

Gu Xingruo jumped lightly onto the last step, her high heels making crisp sounds on the floor.

"I had been hiding down there for a long time. I heard every word you said clearly." She blinked proudly.

She leaned close to Xu Wen's ear, and her warm breath sprayed on his ear: "Especially when you were talking back to that Shabi teacher, you were so handsome."

Xu Wen felt his ears burning and he coughed lightly to distance himself.

Normally there is no problem, but this is in a public place after all.

He noticed that the eyes of the surrounding students had begun to gather here, and some girls even secretly raised their mobile phones.

Gu Xingruo's appearance always attracted countless attention, and he had long been accustomed to it.

"Is this true? How can you sit quietly for so long?" Xu Wen teased deliberately, reaching out to brush away a strand of golden hair that fell on her shoulder.

This intimate action immediately caused a burst of small exclamations.

The students below were no longer in a hurry to leave and were all discussing the gossip in front of them in low voices.

Gu Xingruo pouted and pretended to hit him: "Hey, I'm a good student now, okay? I even took notes in the first class of the new semester!"

She raised the notebook in her hand and waved it in front of Xu Wen: "Besides, the presentation you held was so exciting. It made my blood boil. I want to go to work in Shancheng now."

Xu Wen raised an eyebrow, took the notebook and flipped through it.

Sure enough, it was filled with key points and even had a hand-drawn architecture diagram.

He didn't expect that this young lady actually listened to the whole thing carefully.

You know, she couldn't even sit still for a ten-minute class meeting before.

When I was taking extra math classes in high school, I needed him to remind me countless times not to be distracted and not to stare at his face.

"The boss lady wants to be a receptionist and go down to the grassroots level? I approve." Xu Wen closed his notebook and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Go to hell!" Gu Xingruo's cheeks flushed, she snatched the notebook back and pretended to hit him.

Her coquettish look made several boys around her stare at her. Which boy doesn’t want a girlfriend who is beautiful and knows how to act coquettishly?
Jia Mingliang was trying to hold back his laughter so hard that his shoulders were shaking. He only managed to stop laughing after Xu Wen gave him a warning glare.

He pretended to cough twice, then pulled Wan Zhi a few steps to the side to make room for the two of them.

"To be honest, you looked very different on stage today." Gu Xingruo suddenly became serious and her fingers unconsciously curled the ends of her hair.

Her eyes softened, with a hint of admiration: "It's like it's glowing."

Xu Wen's heart warmed, and he was about to respond, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure standing hesitantly at the back door of the classroom.

Lan Qiu Sheng was wearing a simple white shirt and jeans, with a ponytail neatly tied behind his head. He was holding a folder in his hand, looking capable and refreshing.

She seemed to have been standing there for a while, but did not move forward.

Xu Wen nodded at her. Lan Qiu Sheng took a deep breath as if encouraged and walked over.

Her footsteps were so light that they made almost no sound, but Gu Xingruo was still able to notice them and turned to look. "Shengsheng? You're here too?" Gu Xingruo opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Lan Qiusheng smiled and nodded to Gu Xingruo. She replied calmly, "I came a long time ago, but I didn't come over when I saw you were next to me. I just came to report on my work."

Gu Xingruo quickly stepped aside after hearing this: "Then reporting the work is more important. We can talk about it anytime."

Lan Qiu Sheng smiled and nodded again in response.

Although she looked calm on the surface, Xu Wen noticed that her fingers unconsciously stroked the edge of the folder while she spoke.

This detail reminded him of what had happened before, but he pretended he saw nothing and ignored this obvious detail.

"The ten intern places have been reserved. According to our requirements, all of them are sophomores or above with a solid technical foundation. Those with project experience will be given priority. Among them, three are girls." Lan Qiu Sheng opened the folder, took out a list and handed it to Xu Wen.

When she said "girls", her voice rose unnaturally and her eyes drifted towards Jia Mingliang.

Jia Mingliang came over immediately, his eyes sparkling behind his glasses: "Really? A girl? What does she look like? Do you have a photo?"

He stretched his neck impatiently to see the list, but was pulled back by Wan Zhi.

"Pay attention to your image." Wan Zhi said coldly, but the strength in his hands did not decrease at all, making Jia Mingliang roll his eyes.

Xu Wen glanced at the list and nodded with satisfaction: "Very efficient, thank you for your hard work."

After he finished speaking, he turned to Gu Xingruo and said, "Shall we talk while walking? There are too many people here."

Gu Xingruo naturally took his arm and waved to Lan Qiusheng: "Come together, I just happen to have something to say."

The five of them walked out of the classroom together. The students in the corridor made way for them one after another, and from time to time some of them cast admiring glances at Xu Wen.

Jia Mingliang walked in front with his head held high and his chest puffed out, like a proud rooster.

Wan Zhi remained silent as always, but his steps were a little faster than usual.

After the seminar was successfully concluded, some subtle changes occurred in both of them.

"What's so mysterious?" Xu Wen asked. He felt the warmth from Gu Xingruo on his arm, which was icy cold and very comfortable.

The autumn sun streamed in through the corridor windows, lengthening everyone's shadows.

Gu Xingruo smiled mysteriously and said, "Xia Ning is going to hold a book signing event at Chengyi Hotel."

She paused, and looked at the momentary confusion on Xu Wen's face with satisfaction: "I helped to contact the venue."

This incident was completely beyond Xu Wen's expectations.

Lan Qiu Sheng almost couldn't hold the folder. She couldn't figure out how these two people were connected, and why would Gu Xingruo help Xia Ning?

Many questions arose in their minds.

Lan Qiu Sheng couldn't ask directly, she could only listen silently.

"Can you help Xia Ning contact the book signing event?" Xu Wen asked calmly after adjusting his mood.

He pulled Gu Xingruo and continued walking forward, seemingly not surprised at all by this matter.

Although confused, Xu Wen quickly came to his senses and saw a look of pride on the eldest lady's face.

Gu Xingruo raised her chin slightly, blinking her long eyelashes: "Yes, I talked to Xia Ning on the phone a few days ago, and she said that she hadn't decided on a location for the book signing event. I said why not come to Chengyi Hotel, she has been there before and is familiar with it."

Hearing what Gu Xingruo just said, Xu Wen found it incredible.

He never expected the two to coexist peacefully, just to not care about each other's existence.

But isn’t this progress a bit too fast now?

They can contact each other for help.

And the signing event will be held at Chengyi Hotel.

This place holds many stories.

The first time Xu Wen held a training camp here, he and Gu Xingruo were trapped in the elevator because someone deliberately sabotaged the elevator.

Xia Ning waited until then, did not sleep the whole night, and rushed to catch the adulterer early the next morning.

Xu Wen ignored all the thoughts in his mind and continued to ask in a gentle tone: "When is the book signing event scheduled?"

"Next Saturday, how about, Mr. Xu also want to go to show your support?" Gu Xingruo blinked and suddenly moved close to Xu Wen, so close that he could count the number of her eyelashes.

Xu Wen was not frightened by this sudden scene.

He still had a gentle look on his face, with a smile on his lips.

It was as if what Gu Xingruo had just said was the most ordinary thing.

Xu Wen saw from the corner of his eye that Lan Qiu Sheng was staring at the floor. She looked even more nervous than he was.

Jia Mingliang and Wan Zhi tactfully stepped back a few steps and pretended to be very interested in the posters on the wall.

"I just didn't expect you to help her." Xu Wen reached out and touched Gu Xingruo's head, as if he was rewarding her.

He recalled the eldest lady's unusual calmness in the restaurant before.

It turned out that she had planned all this long ago.

Gu Xingruo chuckled and reached out to adjust Xu Wen's tie, her movements very gently: "I said, our relationship is the strongest in the world."

Her fingertips brushed his Adam's apple vaguely: "I have confidence in myself."

These words were firmly engraved on Xu Wen's heart.

He looked into Gu Xingruo's bright eyes. There was not a trace of gloom in them, only pure self-confidence and some emotions that he could not understand.

The sunlight shone from behind her, giving her entire body a golden edge, making her so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes away.

Lan Qiusheng suddenly coughed, breaking the delicate atmosphere: "Um, the interns will start work next Monday, do we need someone to take care of them?"

Xu Wen came back to his senses and turned his attention back to work: "Well, I said before that Jia Mingliang and Wan Zhi would be in charge. This is a good opportunity to train their management skills."

"Ah? I thought you were joking. I'm bringing a newcomer? A girl at that?" Jia Mingliang turned around suddenly and his glasses almost slipped off his nose.

His expression was something between surprise and horror, very funny.

Wan Zhi pushed his glasses expressionlessly: "I will supervise him."

Gu Xingruo burst out laughing, holding Xu Wen's arm and continued walking forward: "You two are really interesting."

Her tone was light-hearted and cheerful, as if she had not been talking about anything related to Xia Ning just now.

She continued, "By the way, you have to dress formally on the day of the book signing. I have arranged to have some friends from the media come to interview me."

Xu Wen's heart was shocked again.

Media interviews?

This level of publicity has far exceeded the scope of ordinary new book promotions.

Does Xia Ning know that Gu Xingruo arranged all this?
When did they become so close?

Countless questions swirled in his mind, but looking at Gu Xingruo's bright smiling face, he finally just nodded.

The sunlight filtered through the window at the end of the corridor, stretching the shadows of the five people very long.

Jia Mingliang was talking and gesticulating, Wan Zhi nodded occasionally, and Lan Qiu Sheng walked quietly at the end.

Gu Xingruo held Xu Wen's arm tightly, with a victorious smile on her red lips.
