"You! Vulgar!"
The man's face flushed with anger.
Sun Rui, however, laughed,
"This jerk is Wu Kai! He didn't get into the No. 1 High School back then; he paid eighteen thousand to get in!"
"Oh... that prodigal grandson!"
Wang Yi finally remembered.
Wu Kai, whose studies were mediocre, came from a somewhat wealthy family.
He stubbornly paid his way into the county's No. 1 High School, even getting into the experimental class.
In his senior year, he constantly hired famous teachers for one-on-one tutoring, spending over a hundred thousand yuan.
He eventually scored 570 and went to a decent second-tier university.
After graduating from university, Wu Kai was unwilling to work for others and was determined to start his own business: catering, bars, KTVs...
He put on a good show, but everything he tried failed.
Fortunately, his father had some money to back him up.
Until he finally contracted a gas station and was scammed out of four million yuan in one go!
He lost all his father's savings, which finally made him settle down and contentedly become an outsourced security guard at a bank...
His ambition was as high as the sky, but his fate was as thin as paper; it couldn't be truer.
Having his past exposed by Sun Rui, Wu Kai felt his face burning, but the girl beside him smoothed things over:
"Scores don't determine everything. Even if you didn't do well in the exam back then, you still have a lot of potential in the future."
The girl was tall, fair-skinned, and had a first-love face, pure to a fault.
Her sweet smile changed the atmosphere around them:
"Of course, if you're not satisfied, repeating a year is also good. After all, 569 can really only get you into a second-tier university!"
"You're... that person..."
Wang Yi found her familiar and recognized her appearance, but for a moment, he couldn't recall her name.
More than ten years after the college entrance examination, the two hadn't had much interaction.
"You..."
Lin Ziyi felt a little disheartened:
"You don't have to pretend that much, do you? You asked me out yesterday, but I didn't agree, and today you're pretending to be a stranger?"
"I asked you..."
Wang Yi was utterly confused.
After more than a decade, many memories had become blurred!
"Ahem, Brother Yi, it's Lin Ziyi, the class beauty!"
Sun Rui couldn't help but say,
"Your ambiguous partner, who often asked you for tutoring before..."
"Right, Lin Ziyi!"
Wang Yi finally remembered her name, and those dormant memories began to revive.
In high school, the two had a good relationship and lived in the same community.
Lin Ziyi would follow him around like a shadow every day, going to school and eating together.
On weekends, they would stay together to do homework.
There were a few times when no one was home, and they even almost got intimate...
If things had continued this way, childhood sweethearts turning into lovers, from school uniforms to wedding dresses, would have been a beautiful story.
But ever since Wang Yi failed his college entrance exam and went to a second-tier university, while Lin Ziyi went to a first-tier university, everything changed completely!
When they met again during the winter break of their first year of university, they were merely nodding acquaintances.
Later, when they encountered each other in the community, they were just strangers.
At that time, Lin Ziyi had a hot figure, and her dressing style had become increasingly sexy and unrestrained.
She was like a completely different person from her current pure appearance.
It wasn't until a later class reunion, when Sun Rui exposed Wang Yi's flat worth over seven million yuan and that he had secured a state-owned enterprise job with an annual salary of 200,000 yuan.
Only then did Lin Ziyi actively message Wang Yi, returning to her former enthusiasm, wanting to rekindle their old romance...
But by then, Wang Yi couldn't be bothered with her, and he also had younger, prettier girls around him...
"Wang Yi, I know you have strong self-esteem, but I want to tell you, I won't choose a boyfriend whose university is worse than mine!"
Lin Ziyi said solemnly,
"Go and repeat a year. If you get into a 985 university next year, maybe we still have a chance..."
"Heh."
Wang Yi sneered and walked directly towards the campus.
They were still high school students after all, talking so thoughtlessly.
As for his university being worse than hers?
What a joke!
Who says getting 20 more points necessarily means a better university?
Haven't they seen 985s above the first-tier line?
But the current Wang Yi was simply too lazy to say more.
As for Lin Ziyi, he couldn't even be bothered to acknowledge her.
However, Wang Yi's dismissive attitude made Lin Ziyi furious:
"Wang Yi, did you hear what I said?"
Wang Yi frowned:
"What's past is past. We're not suitable. Excuse me."
With that, Wang Yi casually walked past Lin Ziyi, without the slightest bit of lingering affection.
The so-called "white moonlight" is unforgettable simply because one hasn't encountered a brighter "white moonlight"!
Coincidentally, he had, and several of them...
"Wang Yi! You're hateful! Don't you dare regret this!"
"I'm not talking to you anymore!"
Such a cold attitude made Lin Ziyi stamp her feet in anger.
"That's even better!"
Wang Yi waved his hand and walked faster!
He had been reborn, making money was the most important thing.
Who the hell had time for romance!
It was ridiculous!
"Hateful!"
"Hateful!"
"How could you be like this!"
Her proud heart couldn't withstand such a blow, and Lin Ziyi's small face turned red with anger.
But Wu Kai was overjoyed; his chance had come.
He immediately started to gently fawn over her:
"Ziyi, don't be angry. Wang Yi is just trying to provoke you! Someone destined for a second-tier university, yet he dares to disdain you, it's absolutely laughable. He's not worth your anger!"
"You shut up too, I don't want to talk right now!"
Lin Ziyi snorted coldly, and Wu Kai obediently shut up.
"Brother Yi, wait!"
Sun Rui caught up, looking conflicted: "Are you breaking up with the class beauty Lin?"
"Break up? We were never together, so how can we break up?"
Wang Yi said calmly.
"Uh... you came and left together every day? From junior high to high school, you weren't together?"
Wang Yi thought for a moment:
"No, at most she stole my first kiss!"
"Damn! You beast!"
Sun Rui's face darkened:
"I was pretty sympathetic towards you originally, but now I just want to sacrifice you! That was the class beauty's first kiss! Damn it!"
Wang Yi smirked:
"What's the big deal? She also touched my abs. Of course, I didn't lose out! I touched her back..."
"???"
"You didn't lose out!" Sun Rui's eyes widened, fuming:
"You better shut up, I'm grinding my molars to dust!"
"Look at your pathetic ambition, this is nothing!"
Wang Yi was speechless.
In his later life, he had nearly ten million in assets, and a state-owned enterprise salary of 200,000 yuan annually.
In a first-tier city, he might just be an ordinary person.
But in a second-tier city, he could easily conquer beauties like Lin Ziyi and Feng Yaoyao.
Every time he had been single for not long, younger, prettier girls would flock to him, and not just one...
Of course, it was difficult to attract excellent girls with high looks, good temperament, gentle personalities, and family assets exceeding tens of millions.
The marriage market is very realistic; it's easy to exploit a huge advantage, but hard to cross social classes.
Upon arriving at the classroom, many classmates greeted each other warmly.
Wang Yi could only nod in acknowledgment, slowly recalling everyone's names.
They were all from the same place, but after more than ten years of graduation, they hadn't seen each other much.
So-called class reunions were easy to organize in the first few years after graduation, but became increasingly difficult later on.
Spread across the country, not many people showed up for the tenth-year graduation reunion.
The homeroom teacher, Liu Haifeng, walked to the podium, and everyone quieted down:
"The college entrance exam is over, but everyone cannot completely relax, especially with college application choices. You must be cautious, as this relates to your future career development!"
"A 985 university in a remote city may not be as good as a 211 university in a core city!"
"It's best to choose a city where you want to settle in the future, so you can intern at your desired company during university. Professors, senior male students, and senior female students are all your resources. But if you change cities, these will go to waste."
"Regarding majors, I still recommend popular majors with good employment prospects, such as finance, civil engineering, accounting... For students who are not confident, computer science is also an option..."
Hearing this, Wang Yi stopped bothering to listen.
In those days, computer science was still an ordinary major.
If you failed to get into finance or civil engineering, you might be transferred to computer science...
As for the recommended finance, civil engineering, and accounting... Old Liu was really digging graves for people!
What everyone imagined about finance was Wall Street elites, traders...
In reality, without family resources, there was a high probability of only selling credit cards or being a teller.
For nearly ten years, they couldn't sleep due to deposit targets, and ten years later, they went bald from the pressure of loan targets!
