Charm point maxed out, inheriting game assets

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingning playfully smiled: ”Teacher Li, what do you think, if we’re doing better than Senior Li Yunfan now, wouldn’t the school rearrange the seating?”

Li Gaisu’s expression froze, and she awkwardly uttered, ”Uh.”

Liu Qingning didn’t tease her teacher any further, nor did she continue with the topic. Instead, she focused on her recent work.

Actually, not being in the main guest area is a good thing; otherwise, it would be nothing but socializing, having to get up and greet every leader, which is quite bothersome.

With the arrival of Li Yunfan and Zhao Rui, the atmosphere in the banquet hall instantly reached a new peak.

Vice Principal Zhang Qingguo personally led the two to the round table closest to the main seats.

”President Li, I’ve heard so much about you! Your Maixiangyuan is truly the pride of Quan City.”

”Zhao Rui is truly talented and promising, worthy of being a top student from First Middle School! In the future, make sure to visit your alma mater more often to share your experiences with these younger students!”

Along the way, familiar or unfamiliar alumni and teachers continuously greeted them with enthusiasm, holding their wine glasses.

Tang Song’s eyes remained fixed on Liu Qingning.

Back in Jing County, back at First Middle School, she seemed to have transformed again into that dazzling first love, evoking countless memories for him.

...

After quite a while.

Finally finished with the other matter, Zhang Qingguo came over again.

He directly asked, ”How is it going? Is it confirmed?”

Liu Qingning still smiled, ”Hmm, let’s not trouble the school any further.”

Zhang Qingguo seemed to have anticipated this, ”Okay then, we’ll set it like this for now. Also, regarding your speech as a representative... since the position is inconvenient, why not leave a message and have the host read it later, to prevent any mishaps in the process. As for the speech, we’ll arrange for other alumni temporarily.”

Li Gaisu’s expression changed, and she urgently said, ”Principal Zhang, didn’t we already finalize this earlier?”

Zhang Qingguo’s tone became slightly severe, ”Teacher Li, given the special circumstances now, everything must prioritize the bigger picture. Ensuring the reception for the city leaders is flawless is our most important task right now!”

Seeing Teacher Li still wanting to speak, Liu Qingning directly spoke up, ”It’s okay, then let’s do it this way. I’ll send the message to Teacher Li later.”

”Well... alright.” Li Gaisu could only sigh helplessly.

She certainly understood the real reason behind this.

Initially, when preparing for the school anniversary, the school sent out many invitations, but the number of alumni who actually agreed to return and had influence wasn’t many.

Liu Qingning, the top scorer of the county’s college entrance exam back then, now an AI entrepreneur, was undoubtedly one who could bring glory to the school, which is why she was given so much attention.

But now, with the news of potential visits from city leaders spreading, the scale of the celebration was instantly elevated.

Those initially indifferent ”distinguished alumni” suddenly found time in their schedules and appeared one after another.

Apart from successful businessmen like Li Yunfan, there were many influential figures within the system as well.

For the school’s leadership, these people’s value was far more substantial than Liu Qingning’s.

Seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to impress the city leaders for more resources and support for the school was the ”bigger picture” in their eyes.

As for Liu Qingning... she could only temporarily endure the inconvenience.

She watched as Zhang Qingguo’s figure disappeared into the bustling center again.

Li Gaisu pointed towards Zhao Rui and others, softly saying, ”Qingning, do you want to go over and meet other alumni?”

”No need, Teacher Li.” Liu Qingning smiled, ”Today is my birthday, and I haven’t celebrated enough yet. I’ll visit the seniors during the school anniversary.”

”Alright.”

”Then we’ll slip away now. See you the day after tomorrow, Teacher Li.”

...

A little after 9 p.m.

The white electric scooter slowly drove into the Mining Construction Community.

The old residential building looked particularly peaceful in the quiet night.

Tang Song parked the vehicle steadily under the building unit.

Liu Qingning jumped off the back seat, yawned, her voice tinged with the laziness of fatigue, ”After playing all day, I’m really tired, I’ll go to bed early tonight.”

”Hmm, good night.” Tang Song bent down and kissed her on the cheek.

Liu Qingning smiled back, kissed him on his face, and softly said, ”I had a really happy day today, thank you, Song.”

Tang Song looked at her eyes shining bright in the night, suddenly leaning closer to her ear, lowered his voice, ”By the way, Qingning, do you still have your high school uniform?”

Liu Qingning paused, blushing instantly, and stammered, ”You... what dirty thoughts are you having?!”

”Not at all.” Tang Song looked innocent, ”I just want to accompany you and... relive the old times more deeply.”

”No, don’t!”

”Qingning, fulfill this little wish of mine, will you?”

”No way! I threw the clothes away long ago.” Liu Qingning raised her hand and punched him lightly, turned around, and said coyly with her back to him, ”You better go home, have a good sleep, don’t let your thoughts run wild here!”

She took a few steps, suddenly stopped, turned around, with a slightly commanding tone said, ”Oh right, remember to come find me tomorrow, don’t run off anywhere.”

With that, she quickly walked into the building.

Watching her slightly flustered back, Tang Song shook his head with some regret.

The first love in school uniform remained a fixation for him, a symbol of his youth.
