This sudden question made Jiang Churan look troubled.
She managed to force a smile and replied, "Not yet, I just came out for some fresh air during my lunch break."
Gao Du nodded slightly, then turned his gaze toward Jiang Cheng, who was standing beside Jiang Churan.
He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Because he found Jiang Cheng's face to be somewhat familiar.
"Are you... the Chairman of Xingchen Company?" Gao Du couldn't help but ask curiously.
Although Zheng Yang and Jiang Churan knew Gao Du, Jiang Cheng truly had no impression of him at all.
From the conversation just now, it was clear that Gao Du was likely Jiang Churan's mentor.
Facing Gao Du's question, Jiang Cheng also showed a hint of confusion.
He responded politely, "Hello, do you know me?"
Seeing Jiang Cheng admit it, the arrogant expression on Zheng Yang's face instantly froze.
His mouth hung wide open.
His face turned from pale to beet red, his emotions clearly undergoing a massive shift.
What the hell! Just moments ago, he had been confidently promising Jiang Cheng a job opportunity.
He had even slandered Xingchen Entertainment right in front of him.
And now, the man was saying he was the Chairman of Xingchen.
This feeling of being caught red-handed by the person himself was incredibly awkward!
Gao Du reached out his hand and introduced himself to Jiang Cheng, "My name is Gao Du, I'm a dance professor at the academy."
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but frown slightly, a hint of doubt rising in his heart at being suddenly recognized.
Was he already famous to this extent?
It shouldn't be; after all, he had no intersection with the Dance Academy.
Even though Jiang Churan and Zheng Yang both showed respect to Gao Du.
Jiang Cheng didn't care about that; he had just shaken hands with him indifferently.
Gao Du took the initiative to explain, "Actually, I recognized you from my moments. Ms. Wang Lin posted photos of a dinner gathering a few days ago, and I even liked it."
"Wang Lin?" This unfamiliar name suddenly thrown out by Gao Du left Jiang Cheng even more bewildered.
In reality, Jiang Cheng had long forgotten about Wang Lin.
Even though they had added each other on WeChat.
Their interaction was limited to a few perfunctory words when he returned that night, and they hadn't contacted each other since.
By now, their chat history had long been pushed down by messages from other Girls.
Seeing Jiang Cheng's blank expression, Gao Du couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed.
He quickly added, "She is the daughter of Wang Shi, the president of Kewan Group. Looking at the photos in her moments, President Wang Shi, the Richest Man Wang, and President Xu were all present at your dinner that day."
With this description, not only did Jiang Cheng remember, but Zheng Yang also suddenly snapped out of it.
As a Talent Scout, he naturally knew about Xingchen Company, as the recently popular Su Wan was promoted by Xingchen.
Being in the same industry, they usually discussed the status of other companies.
Xingchen was also one of the new companies that Talent Scouts most wanted to jump to recently.
After all, it was a new company with many opportunities and good pay.
Zheng Yang's mind raced; wasn't the dinner Gao Du mentioned the hot search from a few days ago?
The Chairman of Xingchen was sitting in the middle of a group of big shots.
Jiang Cheng's excessively young face immediately overlapped with the photos and videos on the hot search.
Holy crap, the guy even sat in the middle during dinner, yet he had just handed him a business card.
What kind of socially suicidal move was this?
Even he thought it was ridiculous.
Jiang Cheng nodded, "So that's how it is. Professor Gao, a pleasure to meet you."
Gao Du looked at Jiang Churan and Zheng Yang, then asked, "Chairman Jiang, you didn't come to our school to scout for actors, did you?"
Jiang Cheng shook his head with a smile and looked at Zheng Yang with a hint of mockery in his eyes. "Our company has professional managers for that. I just came to have a meal with Chu Ran, but I ended up meeting someone who wanted to introduce me to a job."
Zheng Yang was already feeling guilty, and being addressed like this by Jiang Cheng made him even more terrified.
But he didn't dare show it, so he could only force a calm smile and reply, "A misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! How could I dare show off in front of you!"
Seeing Jiang Cheng start his sarcastic mode, Jiang Churan chimed in, "I heard that the prerequisite for soaring to success is to have an 'exchange' at the hotel across the street. Chairman Jiang, you should really consider this job carefully."
Gao Du had originally thought Jiang Cheng and Zheng Yang might have some connection, and he even secretly regretted his cold attitude toward Zheng Yang earlier.
But now it seemed they not only had no connection, but Zheng Yang had also apparently offended Jiang Cheng.
And what displeased Gao Du the most was the sentence Jiang Churan just said.
After all, as someone with one foot in the entertainment industry, he was all too familiar with its dark side.
Thus, as soon as Jiang Churan mentioned it, Gao Du immediately understood Zheng Yang's ulterior motives toward her.
At this moment, the gaze Gao Du directed at Zheng Yang was filled with anger.
Every day, he worked with passion, dedicated to cultivating these Girls who loved dancing.
It could be said that a talented student like Jiang Churan was like a flower he had carefully nurtured and protected in his eyes.
Although she hadn't blossomed yet, if anyone dared to defile them with words, it would make him furious.
Gao Du's eyes turned cold. He took out Zheng Yang's business card from his pocket and said in a frigid tone, "Mr. Zheng, is it? Please leave. Our school does not allow outsiders to enter and leave as they please."
How could Zheng Yang not understand the meaning behind Gao Du's words?
Clearly, Gao Du was kicking him out of the campus.
His face instantly became extremely unsightly.
However, no matter how unhappy he was, he didn't rush to ask why Jiang Cheng could stay.
Because asking would only result in further humiliation.
Thinking of this, Zheng Yang felt a wave of bitterness; he probably wouldn't be able to enter and leave the Dance Academy as freely to pick Girls anymore.
Although he could still wait outside schools, how could that compare to the opportunities of wandering freely inside the campus?
But at this moment, he didn't dare make a scene. After all, if the Girls found out about this, it wouldn't benefit him at all.
Zheng Yang could only swallow his anger and leave dejectedly.
