Su Qingyu smiled, "If you can invite Cheng Jinyan to give a lecture at Capital University, let alone giving a lecture, I'll even kneel down and call you dad if you can bring him here."
Qiao Ying replied, "You're not worthy."
Su Qingyu was taken aback and immediately became angry, "You dare not, huh? If you don't dare, then don't brag next time."
Dismissing Qiao Ying's remarks, Su Qingyu rolled her eyes and decided to go buy coffee.
But Qiao Ying spoke up, "Let's make a more substantial bet."
"You really..." Su Qingyu felt that Qiao Ying was getting addicted to pretending. "Fine, I'll accompany you in whatever bet you want. I'm just afraid you won't dare and won't admit defeat when you lose."
"Qiao sister, are you serious?" Huo Chengdong anxiously whispered, constantly gesturing to Qiao Ying.
Afraid that Qiao Ying might back out, Su Qingyu hurriedly asked, "What do you want to bet?"
Qiao Ying looked Su Qingyu up and down, feeling that there wasn't much she could take from her, so she reluctantly said, "Let's keep it simple, one billion."
That amount would be a suitable appearance fee for Cheng Jinyan.
Without hesitation, Su Qingyu quickly agreed, "Alright, but if you lose, you have to crawl like a dog in front of the entire school."
"Damn it, Su Qingyu, do you want to spend more time under the sun and let the water in your head evaporate?" Before Qiao Ying could say anything, Huo Chengdong slammed the table and cursed first, "You should learn to die before teaching a dog to crawl."
Su Qingyu was startled.
"Why do you care so much about me and her?"
Huo Chengdong said, "Fine, if you want to bet, then let's make it bigger. If you lose, you have to give me a strip tease."
"You, you shameless!" Su Qingyu's face turned red.
"Don't dare? If you don't, then go play by yourself and see how much it annoys you."
Su Qingyu was so angry she was itching to fight. She glanced at Qiao Ying and said, "Let's bet! But don't think you can use the influence of your Huo family to help her." Qiao Ying, this country bumpkin, probably didn't even know how to write Cheng Jinyan's name, yet she went and found him. It's really laughable.
Su Qingyu wasn't afraid of Qiao Ying adding to the bet.
Unfortunately, Qiao Ying wasn't afraid of her either.
After finishing her words, Su Qingyu walked away.
Huo Chengdong started stomping his feet, "Do you know who Cheng Jinyan is? Don't tell me you actually think he's just a lawyer?"
"He is just a lawyer," Qiao Ying replied.
Among all of Cheng Jinyan's identities, this was the one he was most satisfied with.
Huo Chengdong became frantic, "A lawyer my ass! His background might be even bigger than my family's. It is rumored that he's the prince of the underworld! The underworld! Do you understand?"
Qiao Ying said, "No need for rumors, he is."
"Setting aside his mysterious background, just the title of the industry's top-notch lawyer is not something ordinary people can afford. Who is Cheng Jinyan? Our principal personally went to him to invite him to give a lecture at the school but got rejected. Even the Qin Group, who spent a fortune trying to recruit him into their legal department, was unsuccessful. It's not just about money and influence, even someone like us can't even meet him, let alone have him give a lecture."
Huo Chengdong ranted on like a machine gun, repeatedly emphasizing his words.
Qiao Ying had silently switched screens and sent a message to Cheng Jinyan: "Are you in the country, Lawyer Cheng?"
Qiao Ying: "Then why did you add a comment about her?"
Huo Chengdong: "I just can't stand her."
Huo Chengdong calmed down and looked at Qiao Ying, saying, "Forget it, I'll go back and ask my old man to help."
Huo Chengdong didn't care about what Su Qingyu said about not involving his family.
Qiao Ying looked at him.
Huo Chengdong: "If it weren't for me, we wouldn't even be talking about Cheng Jinyan. Setting aside the bet for a moment, just the way Su Qingyu behaved earlier, I felt like slapping her."
Cheng Jinyan replied quickly, and Qiao Ying chatted with him while typing. At the same time, she listened to Huo Chengdong's suggestions.
Huo Chengdong suggested that if she loses, she should ignore Su Qingyu, just like when she cheated Alex in the car race, and teach her a lesson.
Huo Chengdong didn't expect that Su Qingyu would immediately post about this on the forum, and the whole school would know about it within one class.
The President of Capital University, Xu Zhiyi, Xu Zhili, and others came to find Qiao Ying. While the President criticized Qiao Ying for lacking stability, he also tried to find a solution for her, planning to bring Su Qingyu in and have the two of them cancel the bet.
Qin Yuchen learned about this incident from the forum and finally found an opportunity to call Qiao Ying.
He thought that as long as Qiao Ying spoke up, he would use all his connections to help her find Cheng Jinyan.
But Qiao Ying said, "No need for trouble. If I need help, I'll ask your uncle." Qiao Ying spoke straightforwardly but stated the facts.
Isn't Qin Han Yue's face as big as Qin Yuchen's?
Qin Yuchen hung up the phone, feeling disappointed.
Shortly after,
Qiao Ying received a call from Qin Han Yue: "When did you get to know Cheng Jinyan?"
Qin Han Yue knew very well that Qiao Ying wouldn't do something without certainty.
While everyone thought Qiao Ying was being unrealistic and daydreaming, Qin Han Yue was asking her how she got to know Cheng Jinyan.
Qiao Ying: "I hired him for a lawsuit."
Qin Han Yue couldn't help but tease, "Are there times when you follow the law and hire a lawyer through proper channels?"
Qiao Ying raised an eyebrow, saying, "Of course, I'm a law-abiding citizen."
Qin Han Yue chuckled and said, "Law-abiding? Hmm, law-abiding."
After laughing, he asked, "When did this happen? What kind of lawsuit?"
Qiao Ying replied, "A few months ago, a teacher falsely accused me of cheating on an exam."
Qin Han Yue: "???"
It wasn't some sensational criminal case or infiltrating a foreign country's system to steal confidential files, but cheating on an exam?
What kind of lawsuit is that?
But come to think of it, this is something she might actually do.
Well, how close must her relationship with Cheng Jinyan be for him to take on such an outrageous case?
The bet between the former campus belle and the current campus belle, fueled by Su Qingyu's instigation, quickly spread on the forum and became uncontrollable.
"Qiao Ying, please invite Lawyer Cheng to our school to give a lecture? Isn't this exaggerating too much? How much money would that cost?"
"Brother upstairs, it's not about money. As a member of the Law School, I can tell you that even if our President personally intervenes, we wouldn't be able to invite this big shot."
It's possible that some of you haven't heard about someone being financially supported by a wealthy tycoon, right? Who knows, maybe they put in a lot of effort, and the benefactor generously helped them out with a large sum of money.
Hey, person upstairs, tell me, which tycoon is more influential than our school principal? And forget about the financial support; don't even fantasize about it concerning my goddess.
I just heard from a young gentleman around Mr. Huo that this Cheng Jinyan is no ordinary lawyer. His background might be even more significant than the Huo family.
Cheng Jinyan? The big shot in the world of law? When is he coming? I'll rush over to grab a seat and listen to his lecture!
My goddess wants to learn how to crawl like a dog? Hurry, find Mr. Huo to save her!
Am I the only one who doesn't know Cheng Jinyan? Quietly opening up a search engine...
I'm back from searching, and I didn't remember anything except that his face is so handsome. Hehe, handsome guy...
For a while, the entire school was focused on this betting matter.
When the students heard that even their school principal had personally taken action and got rejected, they were convinced that Qiao Ying was destined to lose, and they started worrying for her.
There were also quite a few who were just waiting to see the fun and to laugh at the situation.
Some idle individuals even initiated a heated battle on the forum, with some saying that Qiao Ying was ignorant and needed to be taught a lesson by Su Qingyu, while others claimed that Su Qingyu was intentionally making things difficult and abusing her power. The argument escalated quickly.
People stayed up all night, furiously typing on their phones.
Huo Chengdong came home and massaged his grandfather's legs, and then gave him a shoulder rub. When he mentioned wanting to invite Cheng Jinyan to their school for a lecture, his grandfather praised him for being ambitious and starting to study.
But in the next second, his sister exposed the betting incident.
His grandfather immediately picked up his cane and gave him a beating.
Huo Chengdong, with his injured body, called Qiao Ying...
Little did he expect that Qiao Ying wasn't worried at all.
The next day,
After another morning passed, the situation had already become quite a sensation.
Even the neighboring school had heard about it.
More and more people were eagerly waiting to watch the show.
At two o'clock in the afternoon,
A flight from Toronto, Canada, landed directly at the Capital University International Airport.
Around three o'clock,
A black Hummer stopped at the entrance of Capital University.
Soon after,
Cheng Jinyan, dressed in a high-end suit, appeared on the campus of Capital University.
"OMG, quickly check the forum! Some law students are saying that Cheng Jinyan seems to have really come and is currently in the principal's office."
"Is it fake? How is that possible?"
"It seems to be true. Some students took photos. Quickly check if the person in the picture is Cheng Jinyan."
"Oh my, it seems to be true. Is this taken in our department? Damn, I have to go see."
"He went to the Law School."
"Which class, which class? I'm going to rush over."
"Class Three, the one where Mr. Huo is. It's absolutely true. The classroom is already packed, and even the corridor is full of people!"
