When Mr. Laverick heard the woman’s words, he asked in surprise, “Huh? So soon? Didn’t he say that he would be arriving at noon or later?”
The woman said, “Unexpectedly, he left early at night. He called the previous dean just now and said that he’s almost here! I guess that it’s too late for us to meet him at the entrance of the university now, so we can only wait for him downstairs!”
Aurous University’s new campus covered an area of almost five thousand acres, and the entrance of the university to the Academic Affairs Building was more than one kilometer. If a group of middle-aged and elderly people were to really walk there, it would take them at least ten to twenty minutes.
Having said that, she hurriedly said, “Mr. Laverick, you should hurry up. The dean asked us to meet downstairs in three minutes. I have to go and notify the others now.”
The woman left as soon as she said this.
When Mr. Laverick heard this, he could only say to Isaac apologetically, “Mr. Cameron, I’m really sorry. This incident happened so suddenly, so I can only bring you around some other day, then!”
Isaac smiled and said, “It’s fine. You can get busy with your work, and we will leave first. You should come to Shangri-La to meet with me some other day. I’ll be the host!”
Mr. Laverick nodded hastily and said, “Okay, I’ll definitely come to see you when I’m done with the students' enrollment matters in a few days.”
With that said, he suddenly said with a little embarrassment, “By the way, Mr. Cameron, my son got a girlfriend and suddenly told me that he had obtained a marriage certificate through a blitz marriage. He will be getting married on October 1st. He is currently looking at wedding banquets at various hotels, but October 1st is an auspicious date, and most of the banquet halls in hotels have been fully booked a few months ago. He and his fiancée are young people with very high egos and have been hoping to host their wedding banquet at Shangri-La. I wonder if they can still get an appointment in the ballroom at Shangri-La?”
Isaac said without hesitation, “You can rest assured, Mr. Laverick. The hotel rooms and banquet halls in Shangri-La are never sold out and are always reserved for good friends who have sudden use for them. There is a banquet hall that is also specially vacated for October 1st, and it’s the second-best banquet hall in Shangri-La after Sky Garden. You can ask your son and daughter-in-law to come to Shangri-La to see me, and I will take them to look at the venue in person. They are free to use it as long as they like it.”
