The chauffeur of the Hilton Hotel parked the Porsche 911 in the underground garage.
As soon as Su Ming-Yu got out of the car, he was greeted by the sight of a tall, elegant figure.
The woman was wearing a beige jumpsuit with a hip-hugging skirt, paired with flesh-colored stockings on her legs.
Off-white shiny patent leather high heels were at her feet. Her long lavender hair was pinned up, giving her a touch of grace.
Seeing her, Su Mingyu couldn't help but remember the time when Min Yuna had helped him out of a difficult situation.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember any real connection between him and Min Yuna.
It seemed like she noticed Su Ming-Yu's sneaking glances at her. Min Yuna moved her slender arms slightly and walked straight towards him, a faint smile on her face.
"Good morning, classmate Su Ming-Yu!"
Min Yuna looked at the Porsche 911 parked behind him.
The price of this car was high, and it had a legendary status.
Anyone who could afford such a car was exceptional.
Min Yuna was a bit surprised.
Only half a month ago, Su Ming-Yu was nothing more than a nobody who was bullied by the troublemakers at school.
But in the past two weeks, he seemed to have undergone a drastic change. No longer silent and withdrawn, he had become confident and outgoing, with a knack for getting things done.
This stark contrast piqued Min Yuna's curiosity. Her beautiful eyes scanned Su Ming-Yu from head to toe.
"Director Min, is there something wrong with my face?" Su Ming-Yu asked with a faint smile.
Startled by his words, Min Yuna realized that her gaze had lingered too long.
She quickly smiled and waved her hand. "Oh, no. I was just thinking that you've been looking quite good lately - more handsome than before."
It's true that compliments from a beautiful woman always feel pleasant.
"Thank you," Su Ming-Yu replied.
"You're welcome. But you only have five minutes before class starts. You know how Professor Black gets when someone's late!" Min Yuna said with a smile.
Su Mingyu looked at his watch and nodded slightly. "Goodbye, Director Min."
With that, he turned around and walked to the elevator.
Min Yuna's beautiful eyes followed his retreating figure. A meaningful smile spread across her face.
"What an interesting little guy," she murmured.

When Su Ming-Yu arrived at the classroom, the bell rang. He quickly took his seat.
Hae-Jung, the professor, looked at Su Ming-Yu with narrowed eyes.
After what happened earlier, she didn't give him any trouble.
Instead, she picked up her textbook and began to lecture on the history of Goryeo.
However, Su Ming-Yu found the lesson boring and began to feel sleepy.
Hae-Jung noticed this, but remembered Min Yuna's intervention on his behalf and decided not to reprimand him.
This shocked the whole class.
Everyone knew that Professor Hae-Jung, nicknamed 'Taskmistress' for her intolerance of disrespect, would never let a student get away with such behavior.
Yet, here she was, completely ignoring Su Ming-Yu. It was a revelation.
Jun Woo, who was sitting in the corner, glared at Su Ming-Yu with resentment.
The memory of being humiliated by Su Ming-Yu yesterday was a deep wound.
When the bell rang, signaling the end of class, Su Ming-Yu stretched, picked up his school bag, and prepared to leave.
But just as he was about to leave, a commanding voice stopped him.
"Classmate Su Ming-Yu, please wait a moment."
The other students looked at Su Ming-Yu, their faces filled with glee.
Su Ming-Yu frowned slightly and turned around to see Hae-Jung staring at him.
"Professor Hae-Jung, do you need anything?" Su Ming-Yu asked with an indifferent tone.
Hae-Jung took a deep breath to suppress her anger.
"Classmate Su Ming-Yu, come to my office."
Su Ming-Yu shook his head.
"Sorry, Professor Hae-Jung. I have plans for lunch. If you have something to say, you can say it here."
The air froze. This was a blatant provocation.
Hae-Jung's face turned ashen. She glared at Su Ming-Yu, her anger palpable.
The students were stunned.
"Wow! Is this really the same Su Ming-Yu we knew?"
"I can't believe it! He just defied 'Taskmistress' like that..."
Hae-Jung tried again, her voice sharp. "It won't take long, Su Ming-Yu. Just come with me."
But Su Ming-Yu, not willing to waste time, picked up his schoolbag.
"If it's important, we can discuss it later," he said coolly and walked out of the classroom.
Hae-Jung could only stare at his retreating back, her hands shaking with anger. However, not knowing the exact nature of his relationship with Min Yuna, she didn't dare to escalate the situation.
She stomped her feet angrily before turning and leaving.
The students in the classroom were in shock, their jaws practically dropping to the floor.
"This is unbelievable! Su Ming-Yu just walked out like that?"
"Yes, and 'Taskmistress' didn't even do anything... Unbelievable!"
Jun Woo's face continued to darken.
"There's something wrong with him," Jun Woo muttered under his breath. "I need to find out what he's hiding."
