33: Chapter 33 The school beauty was taken away by someone else

On the other end of the line.

Zhu Qingxi's mouth dropped wide open in shock!

No way!!!

Is it really such a coincidence? Qin Chuan was also forced by his family to come out on a blind date, and the person he's dating is me???

After realizing this, Zhu Qingxi felt a weight lift off her heart, and her mood inexplicably improved.

Yang Qin noticed her daughter's expression and asked with a bit of curiosity, "What's wrong? Why are you so jumpy?"

"It's nothing, I'm fine."

A smile actually appeared on Zhu Qingxi's face. Previously, she had been frowning and looking very stressed the whole way.

"This child, how did her mood improve so suddenly?" Yang Qin wondered to herself.

Soon, the mother and daughter arrived at the designated cafe.

Seeing them enter, Luo Rong stood up and waved. Yang Qin smiled and walked over with her daughter.

As for Zhu Qingxi.

Seeing that the blind date really was Qin Chuan, her heart completely settled, and she even felt a strange, small sense of pleasant surprise.

She thought to herself, going on a blind date with Qin Chuan is actually quite nice.

As for Yang Qin.

Seeing Qin Chuan, her eyes lit up.

Secretary Qin's son was so handsome, even more handsome than the male celebrities she saw on TV!

Immediately, she became more confident about this blind date. Her daughter was a bit of a looker, and such a handsome guy should completely satisfy her aesthetic standards.

"Hello, Auntie."

Zhu Qingxi greeted Luo Rong proactively, appearing poised and elegant. In reality, she was a little nervous, her heart pounding like a deer in her chest. Because she felt such a strong connection to Qin Chuan, she had that same feeling of warmth in her heart as she did this morning.

Luo Rong said warmly, "Qingxi has become even prettier. Come, sit down. Order whatever you'd like to drink."

Zhu Qingxi sat down. Thinking that the two young people didn't know each other, Yang Qin introduced them, "Little Qin, this is my daughter, Zhu Qingxi. She'll be 21 in a few months and is currently a sophomore at Handong University, majoring in law."

"Hello, Auntie. I'm Qin Chuan. I work within the system."

The two sides sat down and began to chat.

Soon, Yang Qin noticed something was a bit off; it seemed...

It seemed that her daughter and Qin Chuan already knew each other.

This girl, she was so unwilling to come on this blind date earlier, most likely because I didn't tell her that the person she was meeting was Qin Chuan.

Now that she saw it was Qin Chuan, she was happy. It seemed they not only knew each other, but her daughter was likely already interested in Qin Chuan.

No one knows a daughter better than her mother.

Yang Qin's guess was completely correct.

Seeing that the two young people were getting along, Yang Qin said, "Director Luo, there's a clothing store nearby with some nice things. Shall we go take a look?"

Luo Rong understood immediately what she meant. Looking at clothes was just an excuse; leaving the two young people some space was the real intention.

When leaving, Luo Rong even slipped them two movie tickets, "This is a blockbuster premiering tonight. You young people should like it. Take Qingxi to watch it; it doesn't matter if you come back late."

Good heavens!

The movie tickets were even prepared in advance.

With the two parents gone, Qin Chuan and Zhu Qingxi felt much more relaxed.

After chatting for a while, Qin Chuan suggested, "Let's go, let's walk around the area too."

Zhu Qingxi readily agreed.

Nearby was the famous IFC of Handong Province, a landmark building, as well as pedestrian streets and so on. It was quite late by the time the two of them returned to the Provincial Party Committee Villa District together.

It was already past ten o'clock when they arrived home.

Pushing open the door, Qin Chuan found his parents were both there. Old Qin had come home relatively early tonight, returning after nine o'clock and sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper.

Because he had heard about his son's blind date from his wife.

"Son, you're back. How did it go?"

Qin Chuan said, "It was alright. Let's date and get to know each other first."

Immediately, the two of them were completely relieved.

The original plan was to return to Dahe Township early the next morning, but it had to be postponed. It wasn't until the morning after next that Qin Chuan and Director Hu Qibin took the train back together.

Interestingly, in the morning, Qin Chuan voluntarily drove Zhu Qingxi to Handong University, causing quite a stir.

The car was just an ordinary one, but the person who stepped out of it was Zhu Qingxi, the most beautiful school beauty in Handong Province.

Because her first class in the morning was a law major course, Zhu Qingxi didn't return to her dormitory. Qin Chuan drove her directly to the front of the teaching building.

When Zhu Qingxi got out of the car, she attracted many people's attention.

"Wow, it's Zhu Qingxi!"

"So beautiful! If she could be my girlfriend, I'd be willing to break my own rib to make soup for her!"

"Did you notice, the guy driving is so handsome!"

"Could that be the school beauty's boyfriend!"

"..."

Qin Chuan said softly, "Goodbye. I'll come to pick you up after class this afternoon."

"Mm, see you this afternoon."

Because she had two more classes in the afternoon, they agreed that Qin Chuan would come back at four o'clock.

Watching Zhu Qingxi get out of the car and wave, Qin Chuan could feel the many gazes around him. The girls' eyes were basically shining, while the male students were filled with hostility.

They were probably thinking, who is this, why is he dropping off the school beauty, could he really be her boyfriend?

Qin Chuan watched Zhu Qingxi walk into the teaching building, then drove away.

Not long after, almost the entire Handong University was shaken, especially on the campus forum. A post about the school beauty having a boyfriend was pinned to the top, and the comments reached thousands.

"So heartbreaking, the school beauty has a boyfriend, and it looks like he's from outside the school."

"Did you notice, the school beauty's boyfriend is so handsome!"

"Is whether he's handsome the point? The point is that the school beauty has become someone else's girlfriend!"

"..."

Handong University's campus forum remained lively. This buzz continued for several days before it gradually cooled down, and almost all the boys had to accept the fact.

As for Qin Chuan, he returned to Dahe Township.

The first thing he did upon returning was to sit in his office chair and call Zhu Qingxi.

He talked on the phone for over half an hour, almost forgetting his actual work. But this couldn't be blamed on Qin Chuan; any man or woman deeply in love is pretty much the same.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Chuan checked the time. It was almost twelve o'clock noon, so he called Director Hu Qibin over.

"Secretary, you called for me."

"Yes." Qin Chuan nodded slightly, "Has everyone been notified?"

"Everyone has been notified. The meeting is at two o'clock this afternoon in the Second Conference Room."

The First Conference Room was smaller and had better renovation conditions; it was generally used for Party Committee meetings. The Second Conference Room was slightly inferior but still quite good. The key was that it was much larger, enough to accommodate dozens of people for a meeting.

In Dahe Township, generally more important meetings were held in the Second Conference Room.

Up until now, no one in the entire Dahe Township knew that Secretary Qin Chuan had brought back a full 100 million in funds from the provincial capital.

It was evident that Director Hu Qibin was very tight-lipped. Since the Secretary hadn't leaked this news, he, of course, wouldn't say a word about it either.

Everything was notified, just waiting for the meeting at two o'clock in the afternoon.

When it was announced in the meeting room that a full 100 million in funds would be used for the construction of 12 middle and primary schools in Dahe Township, what would everyone's reaction be?

I'm really looking forward to it!
