86: Chapter 86: Looking for Someone 86: Chapter 86: Looking for Someone Regarding the matter of Jinling University Affiliated High School trying to poach students, Li Molian felt the situation was serious and hurried to the Academic Affairs Office to find Director Song An. Song An was still reviewing lesson plans when he saw Li Molian hastily walk in. “Mr. Li, what’s the matter?” Song An asked curiously. “Ye Qiu doesn’t want to come back to class.” Ye Qiu had been expelled from school and was now unwilling to return to class. He had some grievances, but to Song An’s mind, it wasn’t a big deal. “Then you should do some ideological work on him and let him come back to class as soon as possible.” Song An put down the lesson plan in his hand and looked up. “Director Song, I haven’t even seen Ye Qiu yet, and I heard that Deputy Mayor Li’s daughter wants to recommend Ye Qiu to Jinling University Affiliated High School. Besides, Jinling University Affiliated High School also has intentions of poaching.” Song An initially thought that Ye Qiu was just acting out and would be fine in a few days. He had no idea that the best high school in Jiangnan Province was trying to poach him. Song An could no longer remain indifferent. He knew that if it weren’t for the constant pressure from the District Education Bureau leaders, Principal Zhou and the school wouldn’t have expelled Ye Qiu. From Ye Qiu’s joint exam scores, it was apparent that Ye Qiu might become Jiangbei No. 3 Middle School’s best-performing student in the college entrance examination. If Ye Qiu was poached by Jinling University Affiliated High School, then his scores would count toward Jinling University Affiliated High School’s achievements. Quickly calming himself, Song An said, “Ye Qiu’s file is still with our school, so there’s no need to worry for now. What we need to worry about is whether this decision comes from Ye Qiu himself or from Deputy Mayor Li. If it’s the Deputy Mayor’s decision, there’s nothing we can do. If it’s just Ye Qiu and Jinling University Affiliated High School, we still have a chance to get him back.” Li Molian thought the same. “So, we need to contact Ye Qiu as soon as possible, do some ideological work on him and his parents, and it’s best to keep him at Jiangbei No. 3 Middle School for the college entrance examination.” Song An remained a bit uneasy. On one hand, Jiangbei No. 3 Middle School was vastly inferior to Jinling University Deputy Mayor. On the other hand, if Deputy Mayor Li interferes, it would be troublesome. Therefore, the best course of action now was to stabilize Ye Qiu and his parents. When Song An called Principal Zhou Min, Zhou Min hadn’t anticipated that after the uproar over Ye Qiu’s expulsion had just subsided, another issue would follow. Zhou Yuxia drove away from Jinling Hospital, heading towards Jiangbei No. 3 Middle School. It took her an hour and a half; it was only a little past ten in the morning when she arrived. When she drove to the gate, the school guard recognized the car’s license plate without asking questions and opened the gate, allowing her to drive in. Zhou Yuxia knew Ye Qiu was a student at No. 3 Middle School, but she didn’t know which class he was in. So, upon arriving at Jiangbei No. 3 Middle School, she had to find a teacher or student to ask. Parking her car under the teaching building, other students were curious. Why would someone drive such a good car here, and the license plate on this luxury car was quite special. Zhou Yuxia got out of the car and approached a passing girl. “Hello, may I ask, do you know which class Ye Qiu is in?” Ye Qiu was a well-known figure at Jiangbei No. 3 Middle School, so the girl naturally knew. “He is a student in Class 3, Grade 3. But he was expelled by the school. I don’t know when he will return. However, his bicycle is here. If you wait until break time, you should be able to see him.” Zhou Yuxia found it strange that after curing Deputy Mayor Li’s daughter’s illness, Ye Qiu was expelled from Jiangbei No. 3 Middle School. Of course, she believed what Deputy Mayor Zhou Peng said. Now her gaze shifted to the 28-style bar bicycle the girl pointed out. She found it to be very old, much like the bikes from when she was in elementary school. Zhou Yuxia was somewhat curious about what kind of person Ye Qiu was. However, given her father’s critical condition, who could leave this world at any moment, she hoped to find Ye Qiu as soon as possible. It was still an hour away from break time, and waiting here was not an option for Zhou Yuxia. She headed upstairs. Reaching the top floor of the teaching building, she found Class 3, Grade 3 soon. The students were there, but there were a few empty seats. “Do you know where Ye Qiu is?” Zhou Yuxia asked. The other students did not recognize the middle-aged woman in front of them, but Su Luoluo recognized her immediately. The middle-aged woman in front of her was the CEO of Zhou Dabao Jewelry Chain Group and also the acting president of the company. Su Luoluo was very curious about what the eldest daughter of the Zhou Family was doing looking for Ye Qiu. As Su Luoluo walked out, she said to Zhou Yuxia, “Miss Zhou, I’m Ye Qiu’s deskmate.” Although the Su Family was a prominent family in Jinling, Zhou Yuxia did not recognize Su Luoluo and naturally did not know she was the eldest daughter of the Su Family. Upon hearing that Su Luoluo was Ye Qiu’s deskmate, she immediately asked, “Do you know where he is?” “He should be playing near the school. But he doesn’t have a cell phone, so I can’t contact him. What’s your business with him?” “It’s very important. I need to find him immediately.” Zhou Yuxia said anxiously. She no longer cared about how Su Luoluo recognized her; she just hoped to find Ye Qiu quickly and bring him to Jinling Hospital to treat her father, even if there was only a one percent chance. Liu Lingxiu naturally overheard the middle-aged woman looking for Ye Qiu. She knew that Ye Qiu was waiting outside for her, either playing at the internet café or the game hall with Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming. Seeing how anxious the woman was, Liu Lingxiu approached and said, “I’m Ye Qiu’s girlfriend. I know where he is.” “Great, then take me to him quickly.” Zhou Yuxia, hearing that the pretty young girl in front of her was Ye Qiu’s girlfriend, was confident the girl would find Ye Qiu quickly. As Liu Lingxiu led Zhou Yuxia downstairs, Su Luoluo followed behind them. After going down the stairs of the teaching building, Zhou Yuxia did not return to her car but, despite wearing high heels, walked very swiftly. Outside the school gate, Liu Lingxiu guessed that Ye Qiu was probably playing at the nearby internet café, so she took Zhou Yuxia there. Ye Qiu was watching a movie at the internet café, while Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming were playing games. The previous Ye Qiu liked to secretly watch small movies at home, but the current Ye Qiu had lost interest, probably due to his medical studies. Ye Qiu checked the time; there were forty to fifty minutes left before he had to pick up Liu Lingxiu. The movie definitely wouldn’t finish in time. Stretching lazily and reaching for his drink, he saw Liu Lingxiu rushing toward him.
