Where should he go next?
What should he do for the next program?
Would the SARFT approve the program once it was done?
He did not want to think too much about it. It was almost the New Year, so he wanted to spend the New Year in Beijing having a good rest. He would worry about work matters after the New Year. Anyway, his popularity had already risen to a new height, so there was no longer a limit to his future development. He did not need to worry about not being able to find an opportunity to advance further. As for work, there had to be a certain degree of relaxation and tension. Having constant exposure for a long period of time was not necessarily a good thing. If he had too much news about himself, the people might be a little resistant to it. He could use this opportunity to relax a little. Ever since he returned from Shanghai, he had not rested at all.
"Little Zhang, why aren't you eating?"
"Hey, I'm eating, eating, eating. I'm here."
"The day after tomorrow is basically the school holidays. What plans does everyone have?"
"I have to go back to my hometown for the New Year. I've already bought the tickets for the day after tomorrow."
"It's early this New Year, so I have to keep an eye on my make-up exams. I might not be able to return home."
"My family of three is planning to go on a trip to the South. Teacher Little Zhang, you are familiar with Shanghai. If you are in Shanghai, we will look for you. Will you take care of our meals?"
"Haha, we will take care of our meals and lodging. We will warmly welcome you."
"As long as you say that. Hur Hur, I might not necessarily go."
Everyone chatted and laughed as they ate. Everyone was already thinking about taking a break for the New Year. This was the advantage of being a teacher. The winter and summer breaks were longer, so they could rest for several days in one go. Of course, as a university teacher, they could not compare to a primary or secondary school teacher. They did not have as much freedom. For example, some professors still had to mentor postgraduate students and attend meetings. Some still had to write theses and participate in academic reports, etc. They all had their own things to do. Among them, Zhang Ye was probably the most free. He did not have any extra things to do, so he was very relaxed.
Wu Zeqing did not speak much. She only ate her food elegantly. Every bite was chewed slowly. She exuded the gentle beauty of a classical woman from the inside out.
Today, Wu Zeqing was wearing a long qipao. It had a white background with green flowers with some red petals. It was very light and soft, but it accentuated her figure. It was also very eye-catching. She wore a knitted white blouse with the buttons unbuttoned. She looked as dignified as she could be. She was different from Dong Shanshan wearing a qipao. Dong Shanshan looked sexy in it, but Wu Zeqing looked gentle and classical in it. The white high heels she wore were also very tasteful. The heels were not considered high, about 4-5 cm, but Wu Zeqing had a good figure. She was not short and her legs were long. Hence, even without 8-9 cm high heels, she looked very beautiful!
Beautiful!
Good figure!
She was virtuous!
Moreover, he was in a high position!
She was the epitome of a classical beauty that could not be found anywhere else!
Zhang Ye noticed that many of the men present were the same as Zhang Ye. They would glance at President Wu from time to time. Even an old comrade like Professor Zeng could not avoid it. Old Zeng's eyes were also filled with a pleasing color. Wu Zeqing was a part of Peking University's scenery. Not only the people of Peking University, even many people from other universities in Beijing knew that Peking University had a beautiful Vice President!
President Wu said that she was not married?
If he could marry her, he would die of laughter even in his dreams!
Zhang Ye thought sourly. He did not know who would marry such a beautiful woman in the future. President Wu, you must hold on. Don't get married. Eh, right. It was the new year. He had nothing to do, so he had time to do other things. With a thought, he thought of an item in his game ring's inventory — Red String of Fate. Back in Shanghai, the reason why his relationship with his old classmate, Dong Shanshan, had improved by leaps and bounds, to the point of them living together was all because of the "Red String of Fate". This item had been tested by Zhang Ye, and its effects were obvious. It was different from the Cupid Sachet. Cupid luck's effects were random and unpredictable, but the Red String of Fate could designate a specific person. It could tie that person's marriage fate with him!
Back then, he had drawn two.
He had used one, and now he still had one left.
Zhang Ye was prepared to tie it to Wu Zeqing's leg, but here came the problem. How was he going to tie it? Wu Zeqing was sitting there, and he was going to tie the Red String of Fate on her? And there were so many people watching? He couldn't tie it either. If President Wu smacked him to death with a slap, he would definitely have to find a reason. This sort of thing had to be done covertly and logically. Suddenly, Zhang Ye thought of the scene where he tied the Red String of Fate for Dong Shanshan. His old classmate had dropped something, and Zhang Ye had taken the opportunity to pick it up for her. That was how he found the opportunity!
That was the only way!
Let's do the same old trick again!
Zhang Ye did not feel the pinch. In order to be closer to Goddess Wu, he had thrown caution to the wind with his cell phone. He pretended to pick it up and looked at it. After pressing a few buttons, he quietly placed it on the table, near Wu Zeqing. Following that, Zhang Ye raised his glass and clinked glasses with everyone.
"Come, let me toast everyone again."
"Drink."
"Cheers, Teacher Zhang."
When he took his hand back, Zhang Ye put down his glass. His elbow purposely hit the cell phone on the table. Bada. The cell phone fell to the ground. The battery cover had fallen off.
Su Na exclaimed, "Aiyah, cell phone!"
Professor Zeng said, "Quick, take a look. Is it damaged?"
Wu Zeqing took a few steps back and lowered her head, "Where did it fall?"
"You guys eat. It's fine." Zhang Ye pulled out a chair and squatted down. He lifted the tablecloth and picked up the cell phone. Then, he opened the game interface and took out the remaining Red String of Fate from his inventory. He reached out and felt around it, pretending to look for the battery and the back cover. However, he was inadvertently looking at the Red String of Fate circling around Wu Zeqing's ankle. President Wu thought that the battery cover was under her foot, so she moved her foot away. This movement caused Zhang Ye's wrist to bump into President Wu's ankle. The smooth texture of her nude stockings immediately imprinted on the skin of Zhang Ye's arm, making his heart subconsciously tremble.
"Yo, did I kick you?" Wu Zeqing said.
Zhang Ye took the opportunity to wrap the Red String of Fate around, "It's fine, it's fine."
Following that, he quickly tied a knot with his fingers and pulled the other end of the Red String of Fate. Immediately, the dead knot was tied to Wu Zeqing's ankle. However, Wu Zeqing did not react at all. This Red String of Fate did not have a physical body. Only Zhang Ye could see it, and only he could touch it.
With the battery and back cover in hand, Zhang Ye got up to assemble it. In the beginning, it was still alright. It was not broken. There were some bumps on the back of the cell phone, but it was not a big deal.
No one minded it and everyone carried on eating.
Zhang Ye's cellphone held onto the other end of the red string. In a while, he would find an opportunity. While everyone's attention was on other topics, he crossed his legs and brought one of his feet up. He quickly tied the other end to his foot.
Zhang Ye's foot went numb!
Wu Zeqing also suddenly looked down curiously!
The Red String of Fate had taken effect! Their marriage fate had been temporarily linked together!
The last time he was with Dong Shanshan, the Red String of Fate had only lasted for a few hours. This time, with Wu Zeqing, Zhang Ye did not know how long it would last. It all depended on luck, and there might even be a random element to it.
After lunch.
Wu Zeqing had something to do, so she left in her high heels.
Su Na said enviously, "President Wu is really pretty today."
A male teacher from the Chinese department said, "That's right. Why do you think President Wu isn't married yet? Isn't her standards too high? She doesn't fancy most people? "
An intern teacher said, "It's probably because no one dares to pursue President Wu. President Wu's standards are too high. No matter how outstanding a male colleague is, they would be scared off."
Teacher Wu, who was about to be promoted to associate professor, interrupted, "Let's not talk about this topic. If someone hears it, you won't be able to bear the consequences." It was taboo to talk about a leader behind their backs. Only those young teachers dared to talk behind their backs. Those who were slightly older did not dare to do so. Everyone knew that Wu Zeqing was no ordinary Peking University Vice President. To be precise, she was an official. This time, she was here on a temporary basis. Who knew when she would return to the Ministry of Education or be transferred to another department. She was different from them, who could only stay in school their entire lives. She had a bright future ahead of her. Even the other Vice Presidents who were much older and more experienced than Wu Zeqing did not dare to put on airs in front of her.
"Right, let's not talk about it."
"I should go home. I have nothing to do in the afternoon."
"I still have to busy for a while. It's time to hand out the final results."
Not long after, everyone went their separate ways. Some went home, while others busied themselves with work.
Zhang Ye returned to the Chinese department's office. He had nothing to do in the afternoon, but he did not leave. This was because he was waiting for the effects of the Red String of Fate.
Five minutes …
Ten minutes …
After waiting for a long time, he could only browse the internet.
Right, the Celebrity Rankings should have been refreshed, right? What was his ranking?
Zhang Ye immediately opened the official website of the Celebrity Rankings. He did not search for his name, but directly clicked on the D-List Celebrity Rankings and looked from top to bottom. After looking at a few names, Zhang Ye found himself. He was actually in the top ranks of the D-List Celebrity Rankings!
Sixth place!
He had risen to sixth place!
Thinking back, back when he went to Shanghai to do his Talk Show, his ranking was at the bottom of the D-List Celebrity Rankings. He was basically in the bottom few, but after doing a few episodes of his Talk Show, causing trouble with the SARFT, talking about "Dream of the Red Chamber" to Peking University, and today, "Ode to Young China" was published in People's Daily, he had accumulated a lot of popularity and exposure. In just a short span of two months, he had gone from the bottom of the D-List Celebrity Rankings to the top of the D-List Celebrity Rankings. If he rose another five or six ranks, he would be promoted to the C-List Celebrity Rankings. As for his Talk Show, there were still dozens of episodes that had not been broadcast. He believed that once "Zhang Ye's Talk Show" was fully broadcast, he would definitely be promoted to the C-List!
What was the concept of a C-List Celebrity?
Then, he would be considered a rather popular celebrity!
Zhang Ye felt more and more that his trip to Peking University was the right decision. If he had gone to other places or taken other paths, he would definitely not have gained as much popularity as he did now!
Zhang Ye glanced at his game ring's total Reputation points. It made him even more excited. It was so much that he could not even look at it directly!
Total Reputation points: 39 million!
Even if all the Reputation points he had gained in the past were added together, it would not be as much as this time!
The items in his inventory were enough for him to use, so he did not want to waste them. This was his greatest capital to become famous. No matter how much he saved, it would never be enough. He was prepared to save up his Reputation points and use them when he needed them. He wanted to maximize the usefulness of the game ring. If he used up all his Reputation points now, he would be at a loss if he encountered an emergency in the future!
He was in a great mood!
Zhang Ye happily brewed a cup of tea to drink. His popularity was increasing and his reputation was growing. He was one step closer to his goal!
