The opening ceremony concluded successfully without any disturbance.

Seeing Chen Hao busy seeing off guests, Lu Jiaqi quickly stepped forward to congratulate him, "Congratulations, Chen Hao!"

"Thank you. I was busy earlier and didn't take good care of you," Chen Hao said with a smile.

After today's events, he realized that starting a company is not so simple, and he was still far too inexperienced to deal with the shrewd old foxes in the business world.

Lu Jiaqi shook his head slightly. "No."

After a pause, she looked up at Chen Hao discreetly and asked softly, "You don't mind that I came without telling you."

"Disdain?" Chen Hao asked in surprise. "Why do you say that? I'm glad you came."

"Really?" Lu Jiaqi exclaimed excitedly.

Chen Hao smirked, "Really? We're going to have dinner together later, do you want to come?"

Lu Jiaqi's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in surprise, "I'll do it!"

She wouldn't miss any opportunity to meet Chen Hao.

If they were in the same class, she wouldn't have to try to bump into him every day.

The two chatted for a while, then Chen Hao went back to work.

After seeing all the guests off, Chen Hao locked the company gate and went to eat with his men.

Looking at the company's closed doors, Gu Xingzhou joked, "Brother Hao, it's bad luck for us to close on our first day of business."

"I don't believe in that stuff," Chen Hao replied with a smile.

He doesn't believe in fate, he only believes in himself.

Gu Xinglan rolled her eyes at Gu Xingzhou, "You know it's unlucky, so why did you say that?"

Is this younger brother genuinely stupid, or is he pretending?

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Chen Hao quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Hey, we've arrived at our dining place."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xinglan tossed her head and took the lead in walking towards the private room in the restaurant.

The crowd followed behind her, and Gu Xingzhou made a face at her back.

Chen Hao shook his head and chuckled as he looked at Gu Xingzhou's childish appearance.

As soon as he sat down in the private room, Gu Xingzhou turned to look at Chen Hao, his sister, Nan Yan, and Lu Jiaqi.

In hindsight, this situation seemed familiar.

Chen Hao naturally sat down next to Nan Yan, but Lu Jiaqi took the empty seat next to him first.

Lu Jiaqi sat down, head down, not daring to look at the crowd; this was the first time she had ever been so bold.

Her upbringing never taught her to fight for seats like this.

I wonder what everyone will think of her?

Seeing his older sister standing to the side with a sullen face, Gu Xingzhou quickly called out, "Sis, sit next to me."

"I don't want to eat your saliva. I'm sitting next to Miss Lu," Gu Xinglan replied calmly.

Her brother was sitting next to Nan Yan. If she sat next to him, wouldn't she be two seats away from Chen Hao?

She didn't know what was wrong with her; she didn't want to be so far away from Chen Hao.

Gu Xingzhou widened his eyes and retorted loudly, "Slander! You're just slandering me. I never spit while I eat."

"Look, you're shouting so loudly, you're spitting out your saliva. Luckily, the food hasn't been served yet," Gu Xinglan said calmly, pointing to the table.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xingzhou quickly covered his mouth with his hand and looked at his sister with a wronged expression.

Watching the siblings playfully bickering, Chen Hao chuckled, "Xingzhou, keep your voice down, or you'll spit."

Gu Xingzhou turned and gave Chen Hao a resentful look, thinking to himself, "It's all because of you, otherwise my sister wouldn't have let him embarrass himself."

After the laughter and commotion subsided, the scene quieted down for a while.

Gu Xingzhou didn't care about any of that; he just felt superfluous and shouldn't have come to eat.

At this moment, Lu Jiaqi looked up at Chen Hao and asked softly, "Chen Hao, which university are you planning to apply to?"

In three months, they will be taking the college entrance examination.

They will go their separate ways then, and it's hard to say whether they will ever meet again.

"Which university?" Chen Hao frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "I will probably apply to a university in Beijing."

In his previous life, he was trapped in the small town of Licheng. In this life, he wants to go to the capital and make his way in the world.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jiaqi's expression changed slightly, and he glanced at Chen Hao, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

Chen Hao happened to see this, and he smiled slightly, "Just say what you have to say."

"Chen, I'm really bad at math, can you tutor me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jiaqi lowered his head shyly.

She did want to take extra classes, but she wanted to be closer to Chen Hao even more.

Moreover, she understood that with Chen Hao's grades, he could choose any university in Beijing.

She wants to get into the same university as Chen Hao, so she has to study twice as hard.

Chen Hao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll tutor you for an hour every day after school, is that alright?"

"Yes, of course, thank you, Chen." Lu Jiaqi nodded excitedly.

Let alone an hour, even half an hour is fine.

Seeing the two chatting happily, Gu Xinglan's eyes darkened, and she then teased Nan Yan, "Miss Nan, don't you mind if your fiancé teaches Miss Lu math?"

Spending an hour alone together every day would make any woman jealous.

Nan Yan gave Gu Xinglan a deep look, and then smiled. "It's just classmates helping each other out. What's there to be bothered about?"

Besides, Chen Hao and I aren't engaged; we're just friends.

Hearing Nan Yan's words, Chen Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

He then hurriedly instructed Gu Xingzhou, "You stay here every day too, I'll tutor you in math!"

"My math is alright..."

Seeing Chen Hao's look, Gu Xingzhou quickly changed his tune, "Okay, Brother Hao, I'm counting on you for my math."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jiaqi's eyes dimmed, but he quickly put on a smile again.

He silently berated himself, "What more could you want? You should be grateful that Chen is teaching you math!"

With things having come to this point, Gu Xinglan smiled helplessly.

Where did my carefree self go? Now I'm acting like a bitter, resentful woman.

After figuring things out, Gu Xinglan stopped being sarcastic and started chatting with the others about interesting business matters.

As the event ended, Gu Xingzhou held Chen Hao's hand and repeatedly urged him, "Brother Hao, you must come early tomorrow."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be here soon," Chen Hao replied with a smile.

He said this countless times.

Gu Xinglan stopped Gu Xingzhou, who wanted to give her another word of advice, and said, "That's enough, we should go back."

Chen Hao smiled and saw the two off. Looking at Nan Yan and Lu Jiaqi who remained behind, he frowned slightly, at a loss for what to do.

Seeing his predicament, Nan Yan sighed softly and then suggested, "Let's send Miss Lu back first."

"Okay." Chen Hao nodded happily in agreement.

......

The next day.

Chen Hao arrived at the Gu family's house in the Chen family's car with his father.

As soon as they got out of the car, the Gu family's maid glanced at the invitation and led Chen Hao and the others inside.

"Dad, eldest sister, wait for us."

Hearing the sound, Chen Hao looked over and saw Chen Qian and Chen Wan, dressed in a flamboyant manner, waving from not far away.

Chen Wan held the invitation in her hand, waving it at them incessantly, looking smug.

Upon seeing this, Chen Shan exclaimed in surprise, "Where did you get this invitation?"
