I'm in Love Apartment, and the system is making me cultivate immortality.

Chapter 280 An unexpected encounter with Lisa, a race against time!
The TV station parking lot.

Where is Teacher Zeng?

Qin Yumo's Audi came to a smooth stop. She rolled down the window and saw Gu Yifan and the other two, but not Zeng Xiaoxian, so she asked in confusion.

Beside the car, Gu Yifan was also puzzled, and shrugged, replying, "How should I know?"

Everything was fine up ahead, but then the person just disappeared. It's really strange.

"Why don't we just call Teacher Zeng and ask?" Guan Gu suggested as he got out of the car with Mei Jia.

"I'll fight!"

Pushing open the back door, Hu Yifei, suppressing her anger, took out her phone.

Gu Yifan sighed almost imperceptibly and whispered to Wan Yu, "I have a bad feeling about this."

Miss Lin agreed, nodding, "Me too."

As she spoke, she stretched and leaned her limp body against Gu Yifan without saying a word, simply inhaling his scent.

The long-lost and unique body fragrance haunted Lin Wanyu's dreams.

She couldn't help but think of the dream she had, which was so bizarre and outlandish that Lin Wanyu was too embarrassed to talk about it in front of everyone.

Lin Wanyu thought of Xinling. Judging by the timeline, Xinling should have been discharged from the hospital and entered the same university as Gu Yifan.

Strangely enough, Lin Wanyu had previously been somewhat wary of Xinling.

This stems from a woman's instinct to guard against another beautiful woman.

But this time when she came back, Lin Wanyu really wanted to see Xinling. It was like the two of them had become best friends in a dream, and that feeling of being connected by fate still lingered in her heart.

"correct."

Lin Wanyu suddenly spoke.

Gu Yifan, who was waiting for the call to end, turned his gaze to Lin Meimei and asked in a soft, nasal voice, "Hmm?"

"How is Xinling doing lately?" Lin Wanyu asked after thinking for a moment.

"Xinling?"

Gu Yifan appeared puzzled, but his heart skipped a beat.

Why would Lin Wanyu suddenly bring up Cyndi Wang?
"correct."

Lin Wanyu smiled brightly, innocent and carefree, "She should be discharged from the hospital by now, hehe, it's been so long since I've seen her, I miss her a little."

"I'll go to school with you tomorrow, and then we'll go have dinner together with Xinling."

Lin Wanyu also planned to visit Gu Yifan's school. On the one hand, she had never seen what a university in China looked like before, and on the other hand, she wanted to assert her dominance.

It wasn't directed at Xinling, but at any girl in the school who might like Gu Yifan.

Lin Wanyu wanted to tell them that Gu Yifan was already taken, so they should put away their little schemes!

Even in New York, Lin Wanyu secretly kept an eye on Gu Yifan and learned about his singing from the school forum.

Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu was a little angry.

Gu Yifan can sing, but he's never sung for her before! What a clueless guy!

Gu Yifan pondered for a moment, still somewhat puzzled as to why Lin Wanyu would suddenly bring this up, so he simply asked directly.

"Why did you suddenly want to have dinner with Cyndi?"

"I just want to, there's no reason needed." Lin Wanyu wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction, tilted her head and shook Gu Yifan's arm, asking coquettishly, "What's wrong? Is it not allowed?"

Gu Yifan observed Miss Lin's eyes but couldn't detect anything unusual.

He didn't believe that Lin Wanyu could conceal her thoughts so effortlessly after only two months back in New York.

If that's the case, maybe it really was just having a meal with Cyndi.

"Alright then," Gu Yifan nodded in agreement.

"Hehe, you can't tell Xinling, okay? I'm going to give her a surprise."

Seeing that Gu Yifan had agreed, Lin Wanyu's eyelashes curved into crescent moons, and she shook Gu Yifan's arm again, pleading.

Is this a surprise?
Gu Yifan thought to himself, "This is clearly a shock," but he still nodded, "Okay."

At this point, Ms. Hu, who had been calling Zeng Xiaoxian several times without getting through, had reached her limit of patience. Fortunately, she finally got through on the fifth call.

"Zeng Xiaoxian, where are you all?"

"What do you mean? There's a traffic jam. How long will it last? Let's take another route."

Ms. Hu's powerful voice successfully attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked at her.

Hu Yifei's expression changed several times before she finally asked incredulously, "You're stuck on the elevated highway?"

On the other end of the phone.

On the elevated road, the traffic in front and behind had completely blocked the convertible.

Many drivers got out of their cars to check the situation.

With a bitter face, Zeng Xiaoxian squatted on the ground, craned his neck, glanced at the still motionless traffic in front of him, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said dejectedly.

"right"

Zeng Xiaoxian didn't want to answer the phone because of this.

Gu Yifan had already warned him, but by some twist of fate, he still ended up on the elevated road and got stuck in traffic.

He once said that Xiaoxian couldn't bear the shame.

At this moment, Zhanbo walked over and said, "Teacher Zeng, why are you still making phone calls at this hour?"

Zeng Xiaoxian suddenly turned his head, his eyes filled with resentment.

He was stuck on the overpass, who's to blame?

It was all because Zhanbo got nervous and turned onto the elevated road!

Seeing the look in Teacher Zeng's eyes that seemed to want to skin him alive, Zhanbo shrank back.

He remained silent, embarrassed.

He didn't do it on purpose. He's a new driver. It's understandable that he'd be nervous on his first time on the road.

"Whose call was that, Teacher Zeng?"

A voice came from in front of the car.

It was Lü Ziqiao, who walked back from the traffic jam ahead with a carefree expression.

For Lü Ziqiao, life is full of surprises, and occasionally stopping to appreciate the scenery along the way is a wonderful thing.

Lu Ziqiao's mentality is truly something else.

"Ziqiao, how's it going up ahead? When will the elevated road be cleared?" Zeng Xiaoxian's eyes lit up when he saw Lü Ziqiao, and he couldn't wait to ask.

"I don't know about this." Lu Ziqiao shrugged and shook his head. "The traffic jam was too long; I didn't get to the end."

Zeng Xiaoxian was speechless for a moment, then became exasperated, "Then why did you come back? You must have some useful information!"

After tilting his head in thought, Lu Ziqiao revealed a gradually lewd smile. "I do have some information. Teacher Zeng, guess what I found up ahead?"

"Chen Ruyu?" Teacher Zeng asked expectantly.

He thought that unless Chen Ruyu was stuck on the elevated road like him, the only good news for him would be if the road could be opened to traffic immediately.

"We're very close," Lu Ziqiao said furtively in a low voice.

"She's a stunningly beautiful woman who drives a Mini Cooper!"

What do these two have in common?

Zeng Xiaoxian's face, which had been beaming with joy, quickly darkened, and he said, unable to understand.

So? What kind of good news is this?

"I didn't say anything good either," Lu Ziqiao said with a grin, straightening his tie.

"Teacher Zeng, you have no idea how rare it is to meet a beautiful woman who drives a Mini Cooper!"

"Usually they just 'whoosh' past me, but today I finally caught one alive!"

Upon hearing this, Zeng Xiaoxian's veins bulged, and he was instantly enraged.

"Great, we're stuck on this elevated highway now. My career as a host is already taking a nosedive because of this, and now my best buddy is only thinking about chasing girls!!!"

“I feel sorry for you, Teacher Zeng.”

Lu Ziqiao blinked, put on an empathetic expression, and patted Zeng Xiaoxian's shoulder with a serious face.

"But now, besides waiting for the traffic police to clear the way, I don't see any good solutions, do I?"

Zeng Xiaoxian was speechless, unsure of what to say.

"So, Teacher Zeng, I'll go ahead and scout out some information for you~" Lu Ziqiao said, and before Zeng Xiaoxian could say anything, he rubbed his hands together and left.

Zeng Xiaoxian froze for a few seconds, then spat fiercely. This guy has no humanity when it comes to women!

No, he can't be trapped here.

He'll be going on stage in less than half an hour; he should be in the studio right now, going over the script with the host!
Someone please save him!
Just then, a familiar voice came from Zeng Xiaoxian's phone.

"Teacher Zeng, are you still there?"

Zeng Xiaoxian froze for a moment, then his body sprang to attention, and he hurriedly grabbed his phone.

"Yifan, Yifan, save me!"

God closed one door for him, but it seems he left a window open.

Zeng Xiaoxian hadn't forgotten that Gu Yifan had been reminding him to be careful of traffic jams from the very beginning.

Whether it's a coincidence or not, Zeng Xiaoxian has now submitted, and the only one who can save him now is probably Gu Yifan.

On the other end of the phone.

Gu Yifan was holding Hu Yifei's phone; he heard everything.

I was somewhat speechless.

Teacher Zeng is really unlucky; he was clearly reminded not to take the highway.

But it's alright now, he still has a Plan B!

“Teacher Zeng, listen to me. Hurry up and head to the nearest highway exit. I’ll come pick you up. Also, call Lisa and ask her to postpone the show.”

This action is not recommended; it's safer to stay in your car when stuck in traffic.

However, Gu Yifan knew that the traffic jam would last from the afternoon until late at night.

If Teacher Zeng runs fast, he can still make it. But with Teacher Zeng's physical condition, walking off the overpass would probably kill him.

Who told him to accidentally end up on the highway?

Gu Yifan knew the plan was feasible, but Zeng Xiaoxian was still somewhat hesitant.

"Get off the overpass? Is that...is that reliable?" Zeng Xiaoxian hesitated. "What if it clears up soon?"

"I heard that it was a multi-vehicle collision, and it won't be resolved in a short time."

Gu Yifan said impatiently, "Teacher Zeng, every second you hesitate, the guest on the show might have to be changed."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Xiaoxian immediately made up his mind.

It's just a matter of keeping going. He'd risk his life to keep going!
hang up the phone.

"How did you know there was a car accident?" Ms. Hu asked Gu Yifan with great curiosity.

All of this was too coincidental, making her involuntarily suspicious.

"You believe I can do divination?" Gu Yifan rolled his eyes.

Ms. Hu doesn't believe a damn thing.

"It's just bad luck that Zeng Xiaoxian stumbled upon this," Ms. Hu immediately asserted.

Just then, the car radio came on, reporting a traffic jam on a section of the elevated road in the Middle Ring Road.

Eight vehicles collided, seven of them Japanese cars. Debris covered the elevated highway, making cleanup extremely difficult and causing a long traffic jam.

Guan Gu felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.

“Our neon cars aren’t like this in the country.”

"Yeah, they cut corners when they export to Tokyo University." Gu Yifan rolled his eyes. He didn't mind Guan Gu's identity, but he didn't have much affection for Japan.

"Then who will go pick up Teacher Zeng?" Meijia interrupted the two, helping Guangu out of the predicament. "We're running out of time, aren't we?"

"I'll go." Gu Yifan decided to go himself, believing that his driving skills could buy him more time.

"Let me do it," Qin Yumo said unexpectedly.

"this."

Before Gu Yifan could finish speaking, Ms. Hu said instead, "Let Yu Mo go."

Gu Yifan was taken aback, and Hu Yifei gestured for him to look behind him.

"Lisa?"

That's right, the woman who got out of the car not far away, dressed in a business suit, was Lisa Rong.

She noticed this side and was walking towards them.

Qin Yumo quickly got into the car, shifted gears, reversed, and with the engine roaring, he executed a stylish drift and drove off.

"Wow, so handsome!" Guan Gu was stunned.

Meijia's eyes sparkled. "Sister Yumo, your driving skills are amazing! No wonder you drive a sports car."

Lisa was also startled by Qin Yumo's driving skills. She turned her head and watched with dissatisfaction as Qin Yumo's taillights disappeared before walking over in her high heels.

"Lisa, good afternoon," Gu Yifan greeted her.

"We meet again." Lisa smiled and nodded. "Are you here to be Zeng Xiaoxian's audience?"

Gu Yifan nodded.

Lisa looked around, her gaze lingering on Lin Wanyu for a moment, then frowned and asked in confusion, "Where's Zeng Xiaoxian? Has he already gone in?"

"That girl must be the heiress of Lin's International Bank, right? Wait, where's my little Bu? Why isn't he here?"

"Well," Gu Yifan said somewhat awkwardly.

"He's still on his way, he'll be there soon," Hu Yifei replied, lying without batting an eye.

"Mhm." Gu Yifan nodded in agreement.

But this answer did not completely dispel Lisa's doubts. She knew that Zeng Xiaoxian and his friends all lived in the same apartment building.

Why did all his friends arrive, but Zeng Xiaoxian didn't?

"The show is starting in less than an hour, Zeng Xiaoxian is a bit slow." Lisa glanced at her watch and frowned.

At this moment, Meijia blurted out, "It's okay, Sister Yumo is very fast."

"Huh?" Lisa didn't understand.

Meijia said in a panic, "It's Teacher Zeng, Teacher Zeng's Xiali car, Lisa, you know it, it's dilapidated and often has some minor problems."

"However, none of these are difficult for Teacher Zeng, right?"

Upon hearing this, Guan Gu, Gu Yifan, and Lin Wanyu all nodded to cover for Zeng Xiaoxian, "That's right, that's right."

Lisa then dispelled her doubts and said, "Okay then."

"So, are you coming in with me, or..."

"Let's go together, let's go together."

Meijia is quite reliable in crucial moments, although sometimes she does good intentions but ends up doing bad things.

As she spoke, Chen Meijia gave the others a wink: 'Stop her!'

The group then walked from the parking lot toward the building.

Entering the television station building.

Lisa then shifted the topic back to Gu Yifan.

"Your program proposal has been approved by the leadership and is currently in the planning stage."

"Passed?"

Even though Gu Yifan felt there was a high chance of success, Lisa was still somewhat excited when she actually said it.

“Yes.” Lisa nodded and continued, “And I will be the future head and director of this program.”

"Oh?"

Gu Yifan was somewhat surprised, seeing Lisa smiling, she was clearly in a good mood.

Logically speaking, although Lisa is a top-notch producer, she is still somewhat lacking in the skills of a project manager or director.

Unexpectedly, the station's leadership entrusted this program to Lisa with full responsibility.

Regardless of the reasons, this is good news for Gu Yifan and Nuolan.

Lisa is considered one of our own, so Nuolan's position as host should be secure now.

"Congratulations, Lisa," Gu Yifan said.

Lisa was in a good mood, "It's all thanks to your show."

Everyone has ambition; Zeng Xiaoxian even wants to add a word to his profession and become a TV host.

Lisa also wants to go further, but unfortunately there are only so many shows, and everyone has their own role, so she has no way to improve.

But this time was different. There was a good program, and for some other reasons, the leader actually put her in charge of the program team.

This gave Lisa the opportunity to improve.

She had originally planned to invite Nuolan and Gu Yifan to dinner before telling them the good news, but since they happened to run into each other today, she decided to tell them in advance.

Lin Wanyu and Meijia were somewhat surprised.

"What show is Yifan's? Wanyu, do you know it?" Meijia asked Lin Wanyu in a low voice, looking confused.

Lin Wanyu shook her head in confusion; she didn't know either.

Hu Yifei, however, knew something about this matter, and her eyes gleamed with a strange light as she lowered her voice to explain.

"I think I know that Gu Yifan isn't a TV directing major. He said the other day that he designed a program for Nuolan, and I didn't expect it to actually be approved."

Although this is not Hu Yifei's major.

But as a freshman counselor for the Broadcasting and Directing Department, she had some understanding of the students' major and future development.

For ordinary students, getting an internship at Shanghai TV station after leaving school is already considered very good; the fact that most students graduate and become unemployed is not an exaggeration.

Even if you get involved in the planning of a new program, you'll basically be doing odd jobs.

Not to mention someone like Gu Yifan, who chatted and laughed with Lisa, a top producer who had created a hit show.

Hu Yifei sighed inwardly.

Her beautiful eyes secretly observed Gu Yifan's confident demeanor.

It was this appearance that attracted her like a poppy.
Ms. Hu bit her lip lightly, her eyes fixed on the ground, and she even kept her legs close together when she walked.

After listening to Hu Yifei's quiet explanation, Lin Wanyu and Meijia both had flickering eyes.

"Yifan looks so handsome right now," Meijia secretly glanced at Gu Yifan's profile as he chatted with Lisa, his upright posture and calm demeanor.

"Wanyu, you have such good taste!"

Lin Wanyu felt a great sense of accomplishment; nothing made her happier than when others praised her boyfriend.

She smiled sweetly, her little face blushing shyly.

"Right? I also think he's really handsome when he's working."

At this moment, they all unconsciously forgot about Teacher Zeng.

the other side.

On the overpass, Zeng Xiaoxian, breathless, stopped and leaned on the guardrail.

Looking into the distance at the endless stream of cars, I felt utterly devastated.

Thanks to the precise calculations of the super brain Zhanbo, Zeng Xiaoxian only needs to move forward at a constant speed for three kilometers to get off at the highway junction. Even if he is half an hour slower, it will still be enough.

However, Zhanbo overlooked one thing: he calculated it based on the physical condition of an average person.

As for Zeng Xiaoxian, he's not even as good as an ordinary person.

They've been 'running' for ten minutes now, but they've probably only run less than 500 meters.

Sweating profusely, Zeng Xiaoxian gritted his teeth and continued forward, making a vow in his heart.

If there's a next time, if he can stand on the TV stage again, he will never let the unreliable Zhanbo be his driver again.

"So tired. It's so hard to keep going."
