Chapter 1460: Chapter 573 Dream One_2

Knowing that the time wasn’t right yet, Yan Fei felt uncomfortable when he saw Lu Pingping secretly carry out her plan. Without taking down the mastermind behind the scenes, they couldn’t truly be together–everything Lu Pingping was doing now was in vain.

However, Yan Fei couldn’t just outright reject Lu Pingping, as it would hurt her feelings. Fortunately, he had anticipated this situation and had made specific arrangements. He planned to accept the invitation to the alumni association, aiming to tactfully resolve Lu Pingping’s targeted plan without embarrassment.

Yan Fei suppressed the sorrow in his heart, pretending not to realize that this was Lu Pingping’s plan, and said, “Are you saying Zhendan University has invited me too? Am I considered one of Zhendan University’s outstanding graduates? Back in the genius class in China, I was the one with the worst grades, the teachers wished I would just drop out…”

Lu Pingping rolled her eyes and said, “Oh, you’re so modest! With Dream Island’s current achievements, which outstanding graduate of Zhendan University could surpass you? Those people in the genius class weren’t normal; they were all freaks. Although you couldn’t beat them, you were still a lot more capable than the average person and belong within the range of outstanding graduates.”

Yan Fei chuckled and said, “If they’ve invited me, then I guess the geniuses from our class back then would also be invited, right?”

Lu Pingping replied, “Of course, they were the first real genius class in China’s history at the university. Although the class was disbanded before graduation, the strength they showed back then was truly formidable. So, as long as the genius class alumni are reachable, they are all on the school’s invitation list.”

Yan Fei took the red invitation and looked at it, then said with confusion, “Why hasn’t Zhendan University invited Yang Qi? He was the most incredible genius in our class!”

Lu Pingping said, “I just told you! They invite those who can be reached. Yang Qi disappeared from the public eye after you secretly rescued him in the United States, which makes him a missing person. Although we know Yang Qi is on Dream Island, this information has not been disclosed to the public. With Zhendan University’s capability, they can’t know that Yang Qi is with us on Dream Island, so naturally, they wouldn’t invite him while inviting us.”

Yan Fei scratched his head and said, “Attending the alumni association isn’t a problem, but can I not give a speech? I feel like I haven’t done anything, and Dream Island’s development all came from your efforts. What can I say about Dream Island’s success story if someone asks me?”

Lu Pingping smiled when Yan Fei recognized her efforts. She smiled and said, “I’m just a professional manager. All the achievements I’ve made are because of your strong support and Dream Island’s solid foundation, so the development of Dream Island has nothing to do with me, all thanks to you. Plus, you’re now the richest person in the world, with wealth surpassing most countries. If you don’t give a speech, who else is qualified?”

Seeing Yan Fei looking somewhat uneasy, Lu Pingping laughed and said, “Alright! I’ll help you write a speech. Anyway, the students are full of passion and lack real-world experience, I can write something inspirational that will get them excited and make them see you as their idol.”

Yan Fei grinned and said, “That’s better; with a speech ready, I’ll have confidence. By the way, when do you think we should head back to Shanghai?”

Lu Pingping thought for a moment and said, “How about in five days? The alumni association at Zhendan University is in six days, we can go back one day earlier to prepare. After the reunion, we can tour the university campus again and reminisce about our youthful days.”

Yan Fei knew Lu Pingping’s ultimate aim was to bring him to the Academic Forest where the Prophecy Stone Tablet was hidden, but he pretended not to be aware and said joyfully, “Okay, then we’ll revisit the campus and relive our passionate youth.”

After Yan Fei and Lu Pingping decided to attend Zhendan University’s alumni association and sent back their participation confirmation, Zhendan University became ecstatic. They immediately publicized the news as the biggest highlight of the alumni association, promoting it widely to increase its impact.

Yan Fei and Lu Pingping, graduates from Zhendan University, no matter what they experienced during their time at the university, their success outside brought honor to Zhendan University. Yan Fei and Lu Pingping had never attended campus events before, so Zhendan University being the first to invite them to a campus event was seen as seizing the initiative and gaining face among domestic universities.

Moreover, Yan Fei and Lu Pingping were now the wealthiest people in the world, and it would not mean just a little benefit for Zhendan University if they decided to make academic donations while enjoying the alumni association.

When the Zhendan University students and teachers learned that the business legends Yan Fei and Lu Pingping were returning to deliver speeches, they all went wild with excitement. Such an opportunity to meet legends was not to be missed. Not only them, but students from other universities in Shanghai were also excited…

Just like that, five days passed by, and Yan Fei and Lu Pingping officially departed from Dream Island. They arrived at Dream Airport and boarded the CM929 passenger aircraft, jointly developed and produced by Dream Island and China, flying towards Shanghai Airport inside China.
