Chapter 546 A Gathering of Educational Giants

After Chen Yuan changed into a well-fitting casual suit at the formal wear shop, he sat in the waiting area, playing with his phone.

After a while, two young women emerged from the changing rooms.

One was wearing a pure white slip dress, and the other a black slip dress.

Their appearance stunned everyone in the shop.

Every eye was glued to them.

Xia Xinyu, needless to say, was simply a little fairy.

And Zhou Fu, after changing into the black dress, looked slightly slimmer, so her figure was now perfectly plump…

And a little bit revealing.

"How is it?" Xia Xinyu asked, somewhat smugly.

"Really good, you look like little fairies," Chen Yuan praised.

"In order not to steal the spotlight from the birthday girl, we both chose simple slip dresses that we can wear for everyday shopping," Xia Xinyu said.

"Since we're renting them, should we ask if we can buy them?" Zhou Fu asked.

"Wouldn't that be too expensive?" Xia Xinyu said worriedly.

"It's okay, go ahead and ask," Chen Yuan said.

And so, Zhou Fu took Xia Xinyu's hand and went to the front desk.

After a while, the two girls slunk back, looking a bit dejected.

"What's wrong?" Chen Yuan asked.

"..." Zhou Fu covered her face, looking extremely embarrassed, and said, "Too expensive, totally beyond our budget."

"Astronomical," Xia Xinyu said, shuddering as she recalled the price.

"Wow, that expensive?"

Even Fu-zi, as a young lady from the Fu family, thought it was expensive, so it must be outrageous.

"Then so be it, let's go."

Zhou Fu smiled and slightly crooked her arm outward.

"Okay, let's go."

Then, Xia Xinyu took her slender, fair hand and hooked it around her arm…

Chen Yuan, who was sitting there, was dumbfounded.

That's my girlfriend, my girlfriend!

The awesome are always awesomed by others.

This is too much.

Helpless, he could only get up.

Then, they all left the formal wear shop together. At that moment, Fu Ma's black XC90 happened to be parked at the door of the shop.

And so, three high school students with top-notch looks and dressed in formal attire got into the luxury car.

Now, Chen Yuan understood the appeal of the Cinderella story.

"You all look so good, everyone."

Fu Ma, who was driving, said with a smile.

"Yes, Fu Fu looks especially elegant today, just like a young lady," Xia Xinyu said with her high EQ.

"No way, Xinyu is the truly beautiful one, a celestial being descended from heaven," Zhou Fu returned the compliment.

My turn, my turn.

Chen Yuan waited.

But no one acknowledged him…

"Did you guys forget Chen Yuan? Such a handsome young man, like Bai Jingting," the great Fu Ma said, giving Chen Yuan a boost.

"People say I look more like Cai [censored] Kun," Chen Yuan said.

After all these years of ridicule, his looks were never criticized.

Brother Ji still has what it takes.

"Ah, to be an enviable eighteen-year-old," Auntie Fu said with a sigh while waiting at a red light.

At that moment, Zhou Fu quickly said, "Yu, quickly cover Chen Yuan's mouth!"

"You look very..."

Although Xia Xinyu didn't quite understand, she did as she was told. Before Chen Yuan could finish speaking, she covered his mouth and said seriously, "Fu, I've covered his mouth, what now?"

"It's okay, just don't let him speak."

How dare you flirt with my mom in front of me!

Chen Yuan, you have a death wish!

"Hey, why can't I let him speak?"

Zhou Fu Ma sighed with some disappointment.

After a while, she dropped them off at the hotel entrance.

And so, the three of them got out of the car. As soon as they arrived at the hotel entrance, a service staff greeted them with a smile: "Are you here for Ms. He Xuan's coming-of-age ceremony?"

"Yes," Chen Yuan said.

"Take the elevator over there, third floor."

And so, the three of them went to the venue, a rather exquisite hotel hall decorated with a very atmospheric feel.

As soon as they entered, they attracted many people's attention.

The three of them, being watched by everyone, also breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

Everyone here was respectable, and everyone was dressed formally.

They blended in quite well here.

Of course, there were also some who were dressed casually, but they also looked very relaxed and not at all restrained.

It seemed they were from the same circle.

However, there were still some who were obviously students, and they stood out quite a bit.

Everyone was enjoying the buffet and desserts, chatting and laughing.

At that moment, a young woman wearing an exquisite silk dress, high heels, looking full of youthful energy, and with a particularly good figure, walked over and directly took Xia Xinyu's and Zhou Fu's hands, saying happily, "You're here~"

"Wow, Xuan Xuan, you look really beautiful today," Xia Xinyu praised.

"Yes, so noble," Zhou Fu also said.

"You guys look super good too."

He Xuan giggled, and then hugged the two of them happily before saying, "Shi Yi and the others are over there, go on over."

"Okay, you go ahead."

And so, Xia Xinyu, Chen Yuan, and Zhou Fu walked inside together.

Then, they encountered Liu Chengxi, who was holding a champagne glass and drinking champagne.

And the others.

So, they also walked over.

"Chengxi-ge, what's up?" Chen Yuan asked.

"...Not sure, someone just gave it to me," Liu Chengxi said.

At that moment, Shen Yating's face turned green, and she said angrily, "I just went to get a small cake, and girls were already chatting him up."

"..." Hearing this, Xia Xinyu, who was about to go get a small cake, quietly retreated, stood next to Chen Yuan, and took his arm.

"More natural than I imagined..." At that moment, Shi Yi also said, "Maybe it's because I saw some classmates, so I'm not so nervous."

"There's nothing to be nervous about, everyone here is talented and beautiful, others should be the ones feeling the pressure," Wu Wenxin said with a smile.

"My Chengxi-ge isn't handsome?" Chen Yuan retorted.

"I'm not talented?" Shen Yating also asked.

"...That's not what I meant." Wu Wenxin realized she had fallen into a trap just as she was about to explain, "Okay, you're all talented and beautiful, I'm the only idiot."

"A beautiful idiot is a very popular character," Zhou Fu said.

"I'm just a little behind in my studies, how can you say I'm an idiot..." Wu Wenxin said, unconvinced.

"You said it yourself..." Xia Xinyu said leisurely.

"Have you all given your gifts?" Shi Yi asked.

"Not yet," Chen Yuan said.

"Then just deliver them over there, on that display table," Shi Yi said.

Then, everyone looked over together and found that there was a table full of gift boxes, with name tags on them.

As expected of a young lady, so lucky...

And so, Xinyuan and Zhou Fu also put their gifts over there and wrote their names on them.

"Eww, look what I saw," Zhou Fu said in surprise.

"What?" Chen Yuan asked.

Zhou Fu pointed to one of them and said, "Zhang Jianjun."

"Wow, it really is Jianjun."

Chen Yuan also noticed his name.

Then, after saying that, he felt a bit of coldness behind him.

He slowly turned around and saw an indescribable face.

Damn, it's Jianjun!

"Chen Yuan, you guys came too," Zhang Jianjun took the initiative to say hello.

"Hello, Teacher," Chen Yuan responded politely.

Xia Xinyu was also frightened and tensed up, nodding quickly and saying, "Hello, Teacher."

"Okay, have fun," Zhang Jianjun rarely showed some 'politeness', and after greeting the three of them, he left.

"Crap, you just said Jianjun," Xia Xinyu pointed at Chen Yuan, trembling.

"...Don't remind me of that, I was trying to forget it!" Chen Yuan also panicked.

"After all, he's the high school principal of Haijing District, it seems there will be many educational big shots here today..." Zhou Fu said.

"Our principal is here too," Liu Chengxi walked over and said.

"The principal of No. 1 High School is here too," Zhou Fu said with emotion.

"I heard the director of the Education Bureau is also here," Shen Yating said.

Holy crap, who said that?

The level of this coming-of-age ceremony is a bit high.

It could be said that the celebrities of the Xia Hai education world are basically gathered here.

From this, it seemed that He Hongtao had a lot of face and knew how to handle things.

After all, not every high school principal has such prestige.

"Let's go, let's try some small cakes." At that moment, Wu Wenxin put her arm around Zhou Fu and took the initiative to invite, "They taste as good as the ones at your house."

"Then I have to try them and ask my mom to improve the product," Zhou Fu went over happily.

"You're coming with me too." Because she didn't trust Liu Chengxi, Shen Yating naturally dragged him along, not leaving him for a moment.

And so, only Chen Yuan and Shi Yi were left, the two boys.

"You were so fierce in the monthly exam, I'm a little afraid of you," Shi Yi said.

"Brother, you're flattering me, it's just that the exam paper wasn't good, can't compare to yours."

"You're too good at holding back and then striking, you must be playing the spy in the Three Kingdoms Kill game..."

"Playing the spy is indeed fun."

Just as the two of them were bantering, He Hongtao, holding two glasses of champagne, walked directly in front of the two of them and handed them the glasses.

While the two of them were still puzzled, He Hongtao put his arms around their shoulders from behind and said with a smile, "Come, come with me."

Although they didn't know what was happening, they did as they were told.

Then, they went to a table that was slightly higher than the other tables, very close to the main stage, and had a screen separating it.

He immediately guessed what this was all about.

Because even Zhang Jianjun couldn't sit in the main seat.

Presumably, these were the big shots of the Xia Hai education world.

"Distinguished leaders, let me introduce," He Hongtao, standing behind the two of them, said with a smile, "These are the future of Xia Hai education, Chen Yuan, Shi Yi."

He Hongtao was somewhat humorous, because most of the people here were his colleagues, except for the director of the Education Bureau, the others weren't.

And hearing him say that, the two of them also nervously raised their glasses and took the initiative to toast.

At that moment, the director of the Education Bureau, wearing a formal suit, also held up his wine glass.

Then, with tacit understanding, everyone gradually stood up and extended their glasses, smiling at Yuan Yi…
