Financial freedom starts with the pursuit of a cool female doctor

Chapter 175 Back to the Hotel

Seeing that Zhuo Tong's expression was serious and he didn't seem to be joking, and that he was walking very fast, Pan Yi immediately followed and grabbed Zhuo Tong's hand.

Unlike the romantic scenes in idol dramas where someone reaches out to hold on, Pan Yi chose to take a bite out of it, leaving the same tooth mark as that night in the bar.

"Ouch! Why did you bite me again?"

"Hmph, that's what you get for deliberately making me angry."

Seeing that he had stopped, Pan Yi had achieved her goal and stopped giving Zhuo Tong a friendly look.

"No, we have to get this straight today, or we really can't go on living like this."

"What are you talking about? There's no such thing as a 'day' or a 'day' between us. If we hadn't met by chance, who would want to look for you?"

"Hey, didn't you say you had a problem? Ask your question and then leave quickly."

Pan Yi rolled her eyes at Zhuo Tong, but remained silent for a long time.

Her eyes darted around, as if she was gathering her emotions.

"Um... are you free right now?"

Unlike the previous encounters where she had a fiery and easily angered personality, she was like a thorny lemon tree, sour with a hint of bitterness.

Her voice is very soft now, as soft as cotton candy, without any sharp edges, and can be torn and deformed at will.

Although there was nothing to do at the moment, Zhuo Tong still lied against her will:
"What do you want? I'm very busy."

"I just wanted to ask. If you're busy, then forget it. I'm too embarrassed to bother you."

"But what about tonight? You might not know, but our counselor, Teacher Chu, prepared a professional dinner for the first-year students and invited me to share in the experience."

"If you're free tonight, you can come and have a look around the banquet. Even if you don't want to come for dinner, you can still come and see Teacher Chu."

Pan Yi spoke in a hesitant voice, never daring to meet Zhuo Tong's gaze, and her right index finger kept fiddling with her hair.

"You might as well make yourself clearer. Do you want me to go see Teacher Chu, or do you want me to accompany you?"

"Who said I was asking you to come with me? It was Teacher Chu who told me that he hadn't seen you in a long time and wanted me to invite you to join us."

One has to admire Pan Yi's composure; she can lie without batting an eye and even make up plausible arguments.

If I hadn't run into Chu Yun at the school gate earlier, I might have been fooled.

"Come on, Teacher Chu told me about the dinner party herself."

"You're talking nonsense, huh!"

To cover up her lies and her flustered expression, Pan Yi bit Zhuo Tong's hand again, this time even harder than before.

Before Zhuo Tong could even pull her hand away, her expression had already turned serious, and her nose twitched slightly, as if she were identifying the scent:

"Something's not right. Why do your hands smell so good? Tell me, you scumbag, were you just seeing a woman?"

Zhuo Tong impatiently shook his hand, then casually wiped Pan Yi's spit on his clothes:
"Hey lady, we're just college classmates. What's wrong with me meeting women? What's it to you?"

Speechless, Pan Yi could only glare angrily at Zhuo Tong, finally managing to utter a single sentence after a long pause:
"I think you should stop drinking in the future."

"why?"

"You don't even remember when you blacked out after getting drunk, so I don't think you can hold your liquor very well."

This time, it was Zhuo Tong's turn to be puzzled.

I've only been drunk a handful of times; most of the time it happened when I was talking business with clients and they forced me to get drunk.

Not to mention blacking out, that's something that's only happened a handful of times.

Besides, you might not remember blacking out when you're drunk, but you'll definitely remember it when you wake up the next morning.

After all, there was absolutely no memory of the events leading up to the blackout last night; it was as if a segment of memory had been erased out of thin air. This situation is different from the sci-fi props in the Men in Black movies, where a flash of light can cause amnesia.

No one can be unaware that they have amnesia.

"Then tell me, when did I black out?"

"It's nothing, hmph."

Pan Yi left without looking back, which meant her stance had been reversed.

Not long ago, Zhuo Tong was avoiding Pan Yi.

"It's really weird."

Zhuo Tong scratched his head, but his mind kept replaying the times he drank during his university years.

In male dormitories, those who get along well inevitably go out to eat and drink together.

This also includes things like playing mahjong, playing billiards, singing karaoke, and getting a foot massage.

So Zhuo Tong drank quite a few times during his university years, but he didn't remember ever getting drunk except when he graduated and drank with his three adopted sons in the dormitory until they were completely drunk.

As for missing a memory, that's even more impossible.

Zhuo Tong didn't think much of it, taking it as Pan Yi's casual remark, and quickly put it out of her mind, starting to wander around the campus alone.

It's truly a school anniversary celebration; I've already met a dozen or twenty people I knew from university along the way.

However, since they were mostly nodding acquaintances and their relationship wasn't deep enough, Zhuo Tong didn't take the initiative to greet them.

I wandered around until evening, participating in many club activities for the school's anniversary celebration, which were all quite interesting. I also met many beautiful and youthful female students.

You asked why there weren't any junior students among the people you met?

Although Shenzhen is an open and inclusive city, it has not fallen to the same extent as Chengdu.

Zhuo Tong wandered around alone until evening, his hands and pockets filled with souvenirs, his clothes bearing the autographs of his junior classmates and congratulatory messages for the school's anniversary.

Seeing that it was almost time, he slowly walked back along the road he had come from to the school gate, where he saw his Maybach arrive.

Qi Shuangxue quickly got out of the car and bowed repeatedly in apology:

"Sorry, boss, I'm late."

"It's okay, just right is fine. Waiting too long would be a waste of time."

After Qi Shuangxue opened the car door, Zhuo Tong handed her the things he was carrying and put them in the trunk, waiting for her to take them back to her room and put them away when they returned to the hotel.

Although they are all worthless trinkets, as Han Qi said, what matters is not their price, but their value.

The most valuable part is the beautiful memories it evokes.

The first thing Zhuo Tong did after getting into the car was to ask about the professional dinner:
Has anyone arrived yet?

"Yes, Teacher Chu has arrived and is ordering food in advance. Several students have also arrived."

"Ordering? Wasn't the menu already arranged during the previous communication? Why do we have to order again?"

"Well... I'm not too sure either. Teacher Chu said that some people didn't like the recipe, so it was canceled at the last minute."

"Alright, let's go back to the hotel now. I'll go to my room to change my clothes before attending the banquet."

"Good boss."

A moment later, the Maybach was parked in Zhuo Tong's parking space, and he and Qi Shuangxue took the VIP elevator to the top floor.

Meanwhile, in a regular elevator on the other side, several of Zhuo Tong's old acquaintances were chatting away.
