So he was not yet so hotheaded as that. Towing Cheng Yiyi's suitcase, he left the airport with her and climbed into the Range Rover Evoque parked in the lot.
"Yiyi, thanks so much for this. You really saved the day for me..." Zhang Duopan said from the driver's seat to Cheng Yiyi, who sat in the back.
"It's nothing. You're President Zhang's son, and I'm the spokesmodel for President Zhang's company anyway — this little favor is the work of a moment." Cheng Yiyi spoke generously. "Still, Young Master Pan, what you said before about taking first place in the singing category at the freshman gala — I'm afraid that may be a bit difficult. Even if I'm a star, your Donghai University of Engineering is one of the best universities in the province. Among the strong there are always stronger..."
"Ah, right — Yiyi, now that you mention it, something very important just came to mind!" Zhang Duopan's expression shifted slightly and turned quite serious. "It's like this: originally, taking first place was no problem for us. But my opponent — the one I told you about, the guy I want to beat — he actually pulled strings and invited your senior fellow disciple!"
"My senior fellow disciple?" Cheng Yiyi blinked, not quite catching on.
"Xu Shilan," Fan Ganhe supplied.
"What? They invited Xu Shilan too?" Cheng Yiyi was startled. "How could my senior sister take part in such a small event? As far as I know, she basically doesn't attend any kind of event at all, does she?"
"Hmm... Miss Yiyi, you didn't know about this?" Zhang Duopan was taken aback as well. "I was puzzled too, so I came to you to verify whether it was true or false. But they looked so utterly certain that it seems eighty percent likely to be true — their classmates said they've already video-chatted with Xu Shilan, and she's even arranged their program for them over the video..."
"I see. Then let me ask her." Cheng Yiyi nodded, fished out her phone, and dialed Xu Shilan's number.
Because of the matter with Wei Zhao, Xu Shilan had been keeping her phone on her person instead of leaving it with her manager, Sister Wang. When the ringtone sounded, she picked up at once.
"Hm? Yiyi? Why are you calling at this hour?" Xu Shilan found it odd — what was Cheng Yiyi calling about so late?
"Senior sister, I've just arrived in Donghai City. I heard you're coming too?" Cheng Yiyi asked.
"What? Yiyi, you're in Donghai City too?" Xu Shilan was even more surprised. "I am indeed going to Donghai City tomorrow, but why are you in Donghai City? And how did you know I was going?"
