Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again

Chapter 558 - 211: Turmoil at the Dinner Gathering

Nighttime.

Men’s dormitory at the Finance Academy.

"Beep beep beep!"

Su Zelin opened his computer, logged into QQ, and immediately received a new message.

Minmin Mutel: "Hi, big genius, there’s something I need your help with!"

This was Tao Min’s nickname. This girl from northern Anhui was fond of Zhao Min’s character from "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber," so she chose a distinctive username that she hadn’t changed since Su Zelin met her.

They were quite familiar with each other, so she got straight to the point without any formalities.

Handsome since one: "What’s up, senior? Is there any task this junior can help with?"

Minmin Mutel: "This weekend, I want you to accompany me to a dinner party."

Handsome since one: "A dinner party?"

Minmin Mutel: "Yes, the other party is the external sponsor for our upcoming New Year’s Department Gala. They said they want to invite me and a few members of the student council to dinner to discuss how to incorporate advertising into the gala."

Su Zelin immediately understood.

There are some external sponsors who use the opportunity of sponsorship to try to woo female college students.

If it’s just about discussing advertising integration, there’s really no need for a dinner.

It’s clear this dinner has another purpose.

It’s possible for female college students to be forced to drink and be harassed at such dinners, and in severe cases, they could be drunk and taken away. Such incidents are not uncommon.

Tao Min didn’t really want to attend this dinner, but since the other party was a sponsor, it was difficult to refuse, which made her very troubled.

Handsome since one: "Are the invited people, including you, all pretty girls from the sponsor’s choice? You’re worried about potential danger, so you want to bring a male companion. Ideally, this guy should be smart and socially adept, capable of protecting you all without offending the sponsor too much."

Minmin Mutel: "Exactly, I think you’re the best choice, so I’m asking you for help!"

It’s comfortable communicating with smart people; they get your meaning without you having to explain much.

Minmin Mutel: "By the way, Panpan is also one of the female leaders specifically invited by the sponsor."

Handsome since one: "What!"

What kind of big shot does the sponsor think they are, daring to set their sights on Panpan!

Minmin Mutel: "Don’t get too excited, junior. Panpan happened to be present when the sponsor came, and they noticed. But if you don’t want to go, Panpan definitely won’t go either, and I’ll find an excuse to help her decline as well!"

Handsome since one: "It’s okay, senior. I’ll go with you all!"

Even if it had nothing to do with Huang Panpan, he’d still help out for Tao Min’s sake.

He definitely couldn’t let her get pressured or taken advantage of at the dinner.

Plus, he wanted to see who exactly these people were.

Minmin Mutel: "That’s great, thank you, junior!"

Tao Min couldn’t help but be overjoyed.

If Su Zelin didn’t agree, she could understand.

Because this male companion could be discriminated against by the sponsor and put in awkward situations, so it’s not an enviable task.

The junior really does have a sense of camaraderie!

She felt grateful.

Handsome since one: "But, senior, how will you repay me for accompanying you to this dinner?"

Okay, I take back what I said before.

This guy’s intentions aren’t entirely pure either.

Minmin Mutel: "Alright then, how about we meet at the Love Inn behind the campus tonight?"

The female president is quite bold.

Handsome since one: "Uh, that feels too direct, shouldn’t we develop some feelings first?"

Sure enough, Su Zelin chickened out instantly.

Minmin Mutel: "Tsk, a dirty mind but no guts. All you have is a sharp tongue!"

Handsome since one: "Let’s talk about it later, let’s talk about it later!"

"..."

The weekend came, and Su Zelin drove the Santana to pick up Tao Min and the others from the girls’ dormitory.

When Huang Panpan found out Su Zelin was also going to the dinner, she happily agreed and dressed up nicely.

Besides them, there were two other female leaders from the Department’s Art Division, who were also quite good-looking.

Su Zelin was already a star at the Finance Academy and needed no introduction.

Tao Min introduced him to the two female leaders, and they all briefly got to know each other.

"Senior, where is the dinner being held?"

"Well, the sponsor said it’s at a place called Taste Residence!"

"Taste Residence?"

Oh, what a coincidence.

He had actually been there just last month.

The restaurant’s behind-the-scenes owner is Zhang Yuanhang’s father, Zhang Baisheng.

Young Master Zhang made money after joining New Era and hosted a dinner for New Era’s executives to curry favor and mend past grievances at Taste Residence.

Tao Min asked, "Do you know this restaurant?"

"Yes, I attended a dinner there."

Su Zelin nodded.

Tao Min wasn’t surprised.

These younger students aren’t ordinary people; being part of a large company’s management, attending dinners is pretty normal.

...

Half an hour later.

In a private room at Taste Residence, Lin’an City Center.

"There are quite a lot of pretty female students from the Finance Academy’s Student Council. There’ll be four of them joining us later for dinner. Take your chances. Among them, there’s a particularly stunning one—none of you better mess with her!"

The speaker was a young man in his mid-twenties, dressed in a suit.

Zhou Yuan, a son of a wealthy family, and the sponsor for the School of Economics and Management’s New Year’s Gala.

"Of course, Brother Yuan, the best naturally should be saved for you!"

"We’re just lucky to be in Brother Yuan’s shadow; getting to flirt with any one of them is good enough!"

"..."

The other three companions were eager to chime in.

The four were chatting excitedly.

"Knock knock..."

There was a knock on the door, followed by a server opening it and leading in several girls.

Everyone’s eyes immediately lit up upon seeing them.

These female college students were indeed quite stunning, especially one particularly charming and adorable.
