Chapter 165: Natural Beauty

Was it his imagination? Why did he always feel that Cheng Ling was hiding something from him? There was always a layer of estrangement between them.

Returning to the host’s position, Cheng Ling quickly resumed and stood there like a proud black swan.

Lu Qi looked at Cheng Ling in the dark for a while, then returned to his seat.

The school anniversary program was almost halfway through, and everything went smoothly. After all, it had been rehearsed for several months.

After the noon break, the second half of the school anniversary program began at 2:30 pm.

This time, the program that the school authorities had put in a lot of effort to arrange had won good comments and praises from all.

They also invited some mainstream media to come over for filming and interviews.

It wasn’t until six o’clock in the afternoon that the 100th anniversary of Yuya First High School finally ended perfectly with success.

Cheng Ling spoke the last sentence of the host’s scripts. She then joined the other three hosts in thanking and bowing. Finally, she went backstage.

She first went to the changing room to change her dress and high heels. After wearing them for a whole day, her feet were a little sore.

She casually put on the black T-shirt and jeans that she had stuffed into her school bag this morning. Then, she quickly used the tools at the scene to remove her make-up.

The teacher from the Culture and Recreation Department walked over. “Cheng Ling, there’s a celebration dinner tonight. All of the hosts are invited. Let’s go have a meal together. Reporters will be there too. It’s also a good opportunity to perform.”

Cheng Ling turned down the offer. “No, thanks, Teacher. I still have something to do tonight, so I won’t be going. You guys have a good meal.”

“Alright then. You performed well today. I heard that the school leaders were praising you,” the teacher from the Culture and Recreation Department praised sincerely.

“Thank you, Teacher.”

After thanking the teacher, she picked up the black rubber band on the table and tied a high ponytail casually. She was young, lively, and pretty. After removing her makeup, her eyes were not as seductive anymore, however, it brought out the innocence that only a young person would have.

“Teacher, I’m leaving first.”

“Okay, take good care!”

After spending more than a month with Cheng Ling, the teacher from the Culture and Recreation Department had known what kind of person Cheng Ling was. Although she looked cold and indifferent and always expressionless, she was actually a very easy person to get along with. She was also very serious with what she was doing and polite.

Looking at Cheng Ling’s slender back, she sighed. She was indeed a natural beauty.

In the future, she would no longer be misled by the rumors spread by those teachers and students. If it weren’t for this school anniversary, she might have misunderstood Cheng Ling for the rest of her life.

Cheng Ling, who had left in a hurry, didn’t know about all these things. She was in a hurry to go home to quickly check the coordinates on her computer.

Cheng Ling had left in such a hurry that she did not even tell Lu Qi. Therefore, when Lu Qi went to find Cheng Ling planning to drive her home, he was informed by the teacher that Cheng Ling had left.

Lu Xiu turned the car keys and said, “Why did Cheng Ling leave so quickly? She didn’t wait for us. We came specially to see her today.”

“I don’t think so. You looked very happy when you looked at the female students playing the piano and dancing.”

“That’s beauty! That’s art! We intellectuals call this appreciation. What do you know?”

Lu Qi laughed and nodded. “Yes, you know best.”

When the two of them were walking out of the auditorium, the principal caught up from behind.

“Young Master Lu, please wait!”

Lu Qi and Lu Xiu stopped and turned around.

“Principal, what can I do for you?”

“Young Master Lu, are you satisfied with the program arrangements for this year’s school anniversary celebration?”

Lu Qi looked at Lu Xiu, who was beside him. “Yes, my elder brother is very satisfied. He knows how to appreciate culture.”

Lu Xiu inadvertently glared at Lu Qi. This kid only knew how to mock him.

Then, he put on an official smile and looked at the principal.

“Principal, the program is very good. We were all so engrossed. The quality of the students in your school is still as good as ever. The program is very compact and aesthetically pleasing.”

“That’s good. To be able to receive the praise of the two of you, then this school anniversary must have done well.”

“Principal, don’t belittle yourself. Yuya has been an old school for a hundred years. It must be very good.”

The principal smiled and nodded. He rubbed his hands together.

“Then… the two of you…”

Before the principal could say his request, Lu Xiu spoke first. How could he not guess what the principal had wanted to say?

“Don’t worry, Principal Wen. The Lu Group’s sponsorship will be on time this year. I heard that you want to renovate the library this year? Leave this matter to the Lu Group.”

When the principal heard Lu Xiu’s words, he immediately beamed with joy.

“Oh, that’s great! Thank you so much.”
