CHAPTER 662: CHAPTER 359:

A call of numbers soon came from inside, and a male student immediately stood up, took a deep breath, and, with slightly trembling fingers, pushed the door open and entered.

Fang Cheng didn’t linger in the waiting area and walked straight out of the teaching building.

The results of the retest would not be announced immediately. All candidates needed to finish before the institute could compile the results of the written test and interview, then rank them uniformly.

Once the final review was completed, admission letters would be mailed out.

This process would take about two or three days.

It was ten in the morning, and the sun was bright.

The lush camphor branches scattered a patchwork of light and shadow on the tree-lined path of East Capital University.

The air was filled with the sweet fragrance of gardenias, and in the distance, the laughter and noise of students could be faintly heard, exuding the vitality of youth.

Fang Cheng didn’t rush to leave but decided to stroll around, treating it as an early exploration of the new environment.

Today, he deliberately didn’t have his mother and uncle accompany him to the exam.

The excuse was that with family present, he would become even more nervous during the interview, affecting his performance.

As for Zhou Xiumei and Wen Xin, they both had classes and couldn’t come.

Fang Cheng was alone, which made him feel relaxed and free.

Just as he was walking leisurely, a soft and sweet voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Fang Cheng~"

Fang Cheng turned around at the sound.

Under the camphor tree not far away, a charming woman was standing there, smiling beautifully.

A beige suit, tailored to perfection, outlined her graceful curves fully and vividly, from her full chest to her tight waist and her perky hip line, every aspect was just right.

Under the skirt, her beautiful legs wrapped in flesh-colored stockings were straight and well-proportioned, and the exquisite high heels on her feet made her appear elegant and poised.

Fashionable wavy hair lazily draped over her shoulders, and the rimless glasses she wore didn’t hide her charm but instead added a touch of intellect and allure.

At this moment, her full red lips had a slight smile, and her Persian cat-like eyes were gazing at him unblinkingly.

It was Lin Chuqiao.

Fang Cheng’s eyes swept over her.

It had been a while since they last met, and this beautiful teacher’s skin was more fair and glowing, and her figure was even more pleasing to the eye.

"Miss Lin, what a coincidence?"

Fang Cheng smiled and greeted.

"How could it be such a coincidence."

Lin Chuqiao stepped forward gracefully, her high heels clicking crisply on the ground.

She walked up to Fang Cheng, her eyes shimmering with a touch of playfulness:

"I learned from ’Crow’ that you have an interview today and specially waited here for you."

After a moment’s pause, she added in explanation:

"Oh, by the way, ’Crow’ is your uncle Li Dingjian, I suppose you had guessed that already."

Fang Cheng smiled and nodded, showing his acknowledgment.

"How did the interview go?"

Lin Chuqiao spoke with a very familiar tone: "Do you have time to join me for lunch?"

Fang Cheng hesitated slightly.

He originally planned to return to the club after the interview, find someone for a sparring session, stretch his muscles, and practice fighting skills a bit more.

"Don’t you dare refuse."

Lin Chuqiao seemingly saw through his thoughts and quickly said:

"Weren’t you planning to treat me last time to thank me for helping Wen Xin find a school?"

"At that time, I got caught up with something, but today I happen to have free time."

Fang Cheng laughed upon hearing this: "Then it should be me treating you instead."

"You treat me next time; this time it’s on me."

Lin Chuqiao’s smile bore a hint of mischief, and she specifically added one more line:

"Consider it... a token of gratitude for the help you offered that night on Mist Mountain."

At this point, her fair cheeks slightly flushed, as if she recalled being held in Fang Cheng’s arms, running wildly in the dark.

Hearing her mention this, images of the Inner World and the scene of endless blood rain emerged in Fang Cheng’s mind.

Perhaps due to absorbing the essence of the blood rain, his uncle’s previously weak physical condition had significantly improved.

Whether in spirit or strength, he was much better than before, except his drinking capacity remained poor as always.

And Lin Chuqiao, standing in front of him, with whiter skin and a better figure, appeared to have benefited for the same reasons.

Fang Cheng just happened to want to inquire about the professor team behind her.

Some matters were inconvenient to discuss directly with his uncle, but by subtly probing Lin Chuqiao, he might obtain some valuable information.

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng nodded in agreement.

"Great!"

Lin Chuqiao’s smile became even brighter:

"Let’s go, I know a Michelin restaurant nearby with a great taste, I’ve been reluctant to go normally. Today, thanks to you, I finally have an excuse to splurge a little."

She naturally walked to Fang Cheng’s side, walking shoulder to shoulder with him.

The campus was bustling with people.

Lin Chuqiao glanced around charmingly, her smile radiant, instantly becoming the focus of attention.

When passing students saw this beautiful teacher walking so closely beside a man,

many had looks of shock on their faces.

You must know that this beautiful lecturer from the psychology department is the dream girl in the hearts of many boys.

On normal days, she seems intellectual and elegant, friendly and approachable while on the podium.

In reality, everyone was aware of her inherent aloofness, never having seen any male friends around her.

But now, she not only actively engaged in conversation, but the smile in her eyes was hard to conceal, just like a girl in love.

However, when their eyes fell upon the man beside her, they instantly understood.

That tall and handsome stature, extraordinary looks, and that transcendent and carefree aura.

Were enough to turn any unwillingness into an inevitable admiration.

A talented couple, a match made in heaven.

.........

In the afternoon, the sun was warm and gentle.

The red brick wall of the law school’s office building was covered with lush ivy.

Through a bright window, the sound of clear and loud speech could be heard from inside.

It seemed someone was giving a brilliant lecture.

In the spacious room, the dark wood floor was as glossy as a mirror.

Bookshelves reaching the ceiling stood around, filled with thick volumes of legal classics.

This was the office of Dean Dong Yunchuan of the law school.

An elderly man with a rosy complexion reclined in a large office chair, holding a remote control, his gaze fixed on the TV screen in the corner.

The voice from earlier was precisely what was being transmitted from here.

At this moment, the television was playing the interview recording for the law school’s graduate admissions retest.

To ensure the admissions process was open and fair, the entire interview was recorded on audio and video to be preserved for future review and oversight.

The young man in the footage conducted himself with poise and spoke with eloquence.

Especially those eyes, extraordinarily bright and lively, seemed to exude a kind of compelling strength.

"Dean, this candidate surnamed Fang, his written test scores were outstanding; no, they should be described as otherworldly."

A slightly plump middle-aged man wearing black-framed glasses stood by the desk, speaking softly.

He was the examiner who had previously participated in both the written test and the interview, Professor Luo Yang.

He introduced with a tone of slight excitement:

"You personally drafted that exam, with so many traps and advanced questions. We all know this. Yet he finished it in less than half an hour!"

"Quick answering speed is one thing, but the depth and approach of the essay questions he addressed are simply astonishing. If it weren’t for his youth, I’d have thought some big shot from the legal world was testing us!"

Luo Yang paused, pointing at the screen to continue:

"This interview also showed he indeed has true skills and a high tolerance for pressure, always maintaining composure when we posed tricky questions successively."

"I think making him merely an ordinary graduate student would be a waste; he’s fully qualified to directly join our ’Excellent Legal Talent’ training program."

Saying this, Luo Yang lowered his voice, adding a crucial point:

"More importantly, I feel his political stance aligns with ours..."

"Hmm."

Dong Yunchuan merely nodded slightly, his eyes never leaving the face on the TV screen, murmuring softly:

"It really is fate, turns out it’s you, kid..."

Hearing this, Luo Yang was taken aback, then cautiously asked:

"Dean, do you... know him?"

Dong Yunchuan didn’t answer his question directly but instead instructed:

"Luo Yang, this candidate is very promising. His preferred advisor is Li Changjun, right? Go and inform young Li, let him give me this student, I want him."

"Ah?"

Luo Yang opened his mouth wide, even more surprised.

Who didn’t know that Dean Dong hadn’t personally supervised a graduate student in nearly a decade, and now he’s actively taking one?

But on second thought, such a once-in-a-lifetime genius is certainly worth the dean breaking precedent for him.

He hurriedly nodded and agreed:

"Yes, Dean, I’ll take care of it right away."

After saying that, he took his leave.

In the office, only Dong Yunyun remained.

He spun his chair to face the verdant greenery outside the window, a cunning smile appeared on his face.

"Good kid, this time you’re finally in my hands..."
