Ge Zeyu said he was just worried about me getting into trouble, but in reality he didn't like these kinds of gatherings at all.

This answer was exactly what I expected. I was a little disappointed, but I didn't show it.

Because a social gathering was to be held that evening, both departments had started preparations long ago. They had already found a venue and started setting it up in the afternoon.

This event was a large-scale affair, with not only students but also teachers in attendance. The teachers, all with smiles on their faces, hinted to Ge Zeyu and me that several important guests would be arriving later.

They also said that it was a good thing that Ge Zeyu was able to escape death this time, and that Ge Zeyu must pay attention to safety in the future.

After hearing what the teacher said, I exchanged a suspicious glance with Ge Zeyu, wondering what kind of important person could have made our mentor so excited.

Just then, a commotion broke out at the door. I turned around and saw Fu Xinyi walking in surrounded by admirers.

He raised an eyebrow when his gaze met mine, and immediately walked towards me.

I couldn't help but frown slightly, and as soon as he came in front of me, I immediately said, "I thought that after such a big thing happened yesterday, you wouldn't be in the mood to attend the social gathering today."

"The bigger the incident, the more I want to participate, to tell everyone that I am innocent." Fu Xinyi spread his hands, making an innocent look, and put on a smile.

I turned my head away in disgust, feeling nauseous just looking at it.

Because Fu Xinyi bought gifts for every student in his class when he first enrolled, and was very generous to those around him during his school life, he became very popular at school.

As soon as he arrived, many people surrounded him, their words filled with concern, having heard that he had been taken away for questioning.

He immediately seized the opportunity to declare that it was all a misunderstanding, adding that the truth would soon be investigated and the real culprit would be caught.

After hearing this, the students present all looked at me and Ge Zeyu, and then followed his words, clearly accepting his explanation.

I didn't go up to argue. Even if I was really sick, it wouldn't make a difference. For these students, whoever can bring them benefits is the most useful.

I was sitting with Ge Zeyu. I finished my juice and was about to get up to pour myself another glass when a girl bumped into me hard.

After the other person finished bumping into him, he merely raised his eyes slightly and said insincerely, "I'm so sorry, I didn't notice you were here. You seem to be alright, so I'll be going now."

Ge Zeyu was just two steps behind me. When he saw this, he immediately stood up. I quickly turned around and shook my head at him. This is a social gathering. If things get too awkward, we are all classmates and it will definitely be difficult for us to get along in school.

I know why this girl bumped into me. She's a classmate of mine and a close friend of Bian Jiahui. She was one of the people who stood up for her last time.

When I came back after pouring the juice, I saw Qin Yao standing not far away, waving at me, and then walking over with cheerful steps.

She stood mysteriously beside me and whispered, "Do you know why the school leaders are attaching so much importance to this joint event between the two departments?"

I didn't answer immediately; I hesitated for a few seconds before tentatively asking, "Is it because someone important is also attending this social gathering later?"

Qin Yao immediately nodded, explaining that the school's social gathering was originally just a small-scale event among students, but the reason the teachers intervened this time was because they had made such a big deal out of it.

She had heard that an important guest would be arriving later, and she had already found out that this important guest was none other than Fu Shaotang, the second-in-command of the Fu family.

Hearing that it was Fu Xinyi's second uncle, I couldn't help but be a little surprised. The Fu family had just lost face at the banquet yesterday, and now they were making such a high-profile appearance at the social gathering. It seemed like they had ulterior motives.

Just as we were discussing this, I saw several teachers in the crowd suddenly receive a phone call and then rush towards the door.

A short while later, they escorted a middle-aged man in. Even from a distance, I recognized him at a glance; the man being escorted in the crowd was indeed Fu Shaotang.

At this moment, the teacher stood on the stage and said that before the Lin Yi meeting that evening, he had a few words to say. He first welcomed Fu Shaotang and then asked Fu Shaotang to come up on stage to speak.

After taking the stage, Fu Shaotang first said a few polite words, then got straight to the point: "The reason I came to this social gathering today is because I was invited by my nephew. In order to show that I value this social gathering, I have a small idea."

He had a serious and uncompromising face, and when he spoke on the stage, no one interrupted him. He then said, "As you all probably know, our family's project in the west of the city is already underway. Land in the west of the city is incredibly valuable. For the sake of my nephew, I can give you an opportunity today. You can exchange land in the east of the city for land in the west of the city, and each of you can participate in this project with a one ten-thousandth share."

Upon hearing this, the previously quiet scene instantly erupted into an uproar. Both departments contained many wealthy students as well as many ordinary students.

But no matter whether they are rich or poor, they are all poor compared to the richest man. Now that Fu Shaotang has taken the initiative to offer to help everyone make money, it is as if he has handed the opportunity to make money to them.

Many people said on the spot that they lived in the east of the city and owned land there, and were willing to exchange it.

Some people regretted not buying more land in the east of the city earlier.

Hearing these people's words, my heart sank deeper and deeper. I turned to look at Ge Zeyu and said in a low voice, "I have a feeling that this time it's aimed at you!"

Ge Zeyu also owns a considerable amount of land in the eastern part of the city, but outsiders are unaware of this.

What exactly is the Fu family planning? Why do they need to acquire so much land in the eastern part of the city? Could it be that Chendong is also going to be developed?

Just as I was feeling hesitant, Fu Shaotang spoke again on the stage, "Of course, the land in the east of the city must be a whole piece of land. If your family lives in a residential area or has a small amount of land, we, the Fu family, cannot make a big fuss about acquiring it because of the Xu family."

He deliberately mentioned Xu Qing, implying that the Xu family was causing trouble for the Fu family.
