Ouyang Qian said with rancor, "Even if he enters the Imperial University, he won't be able to change his fate of a poor student and will struggle pitifully."
"He's just someone who lives by eating pickles and tofu yet wants to actually dine in a high-grade international restaurant now."
The students to the side also agreed to these words.
Li Dan commented, "It looks like Ye Bing has also scored above 700. Those two must have already made plans to join the Imperial University together, right?"
Unrest flashed through Cheng Lingsu's eyes, her gaze subconsciously turning towards the faraway Ye Bing. Shock filled Ye Bing's face at the moment as she wore a look of disbelief while gazing at Jiang Xiu, feeling as if this was all a dream. Infatuation could be seen in her expression. This really made Cheng Lingsu feel unwell. She believed Jiang Xiu wasn't suitable to receive the love of such an outstanding girl like Ye Bing.
You always overestimate yourself.
Just when will you wake up?
When Jiang Xiu had received a medal from the police department before, he was awarded 20 extra points for the college entrance exam from the Bureau of Education. Due to this, he had achieved a perfect full score, an unprecedented event in history.
It was indeed staying low-key and then amazing the entire world with a single brilliant feat.
"Topper, you're amazing!"
"JIANG XIU!"
The students of Class E started to shout wantonly as if they were seeing a celebrity. Their passion had kindled.
Madam Miejue was also extremely moved. She had never expected that a topper would appear from among her students.
She was too excited.
The student she had looked down on once had now become her biggest pride.
On the evening of that day, Tang Zhenshan hurried over to Jiang Xiu along with Tang Wenchong's support.
"Mr. Jiang, are you free?"
Jiang Xiu slowly walked out, a fantastic breath curled around him. This was the remnant power after cultivating the Godhead. The aura was enough to suppress people.
"What's the matter?"
Tang Zhenshan felt somewhat embarrassed, "A problem has occurred at the Myriad Base City Plaza Project."
"Qin Weiping?"
Jiang Xiu sat down on the teacher's bench inside the classroom and hinted Tang Zhenshan to take a seat by waving his hand. Since Tang Zhenshan had grown old and also lost an arm, it was difficult for him to stand. As for Tang Wenchong, he remained standing.
Tang Zhenshan took a seat and continued, "On that day, Mr. Jiang had merely reached an oral agreement with Qin Weiping."
Jiang Xiu nodded as that was indeed the case.
He hadn't signed a contract to transfer the shares to Qin Weiping.
And Tang Zhenshan was the eyewitness.
"What's up? Is he planning on backing out?"
Tang Zhenshan formed his words with great difficulty, "He sold the Myriad Base City Plaza Project."
"Hmm?"
Oral agreements weren't under the protection of laws, so this meant that Qin Weiping was still the boss of Myriad Base and had the rights to sell Myriad Base. In fact, Myriad Base was already classified as Jiang Xiu's and Qin Weiping owed him few billions now as the development of real estate areas easily reached 1-2 billion.
"No one can run away with Deity's money."
"This matter isn't that simple. As Mr. Jiang had settled the problem at Myriad Base's project and I had acted as the intermediary, Qin Weiping wouldn't have dared to do such a thing. The problem is at the buyer's side."
"Oh?"
"A few days ago, the Wang family of Jiangnan province got involved in this matter. They both came to an agreement and Qin Weiping sold the Myriad Base Project to the Wang family for a very low price of 100 million.
"Wang Xuehai?!"
Tang Zhenshan nodded helplessly, "This is certainly the Wang family's show of strength as Mr. Jiang hadn't visited Hang City to pay respects."
The value of the Myriad Base Project was around 2 billion yet it was sold off for a measly price of 100 million. Wang family's actions were quite thorough. As Qin Weiping would've only made a profit of few ten thousand with the remaining shares he possessed, he had happily chosen to sell it off for 100 million. Both of them completely ignored the true owner, Jiang Xiu.
"Mr. Jiang. Wang Xuehai's methods are always quite ruthless but it's clear from the surface that he has acted modestly this time. If you visit the Hang City and pay respects, you'll surely get the Myriad Base Project back."
Jiang Xiu smiled indifferently, "Is that so?"
Tang Zhenshan lowered his voice, "The Wang family isn't easy to deal with. Mr. Jiang possesses magical powers but it's said that the Wang family has a Demigod watching over them. They had emerged as a great family in the early 19th century and have an incomparably deep power. It isn't worth it to make trouble for ourselves."
"Old Father Tang means to say that this Deity must go to the Wang family and pay respects."
"Ah… A wise man can only submit to the circumstances!"
Jiang Xiu stood up and slowly walked towards the window, his gaze fixed on the wetlands outside.
"This Deity shall go to the Wang family to pay respects."
"That's really good!"
Tang Zhenshan relaxed his breath. He was really anxious that Jiang Xiu would fight against the Wang family. The Wang family wasn't like Jiang City where the powers were all divided, it was a prestigious martial arts inheritance family with a history of over 200 years.
"You can leave."
As Jiang Xiu had given the order, Tang Zhenshan and Tang Wenchong didn't dare to tarry any longer. Since the Wang family had played them over in such a way, they thought that Jiang Xiu must be feeling quite angry and this would also bring a big hit to his popularity.
"We shall say farewell then."
Jiang Xiu was astonished that as soon as the grandfather-grandson duo left, Cheng Lingsu had called him. He picked it up and asked, "What is it?"
"Why? Your performance is obviously good. Why did you hide it from me?"
"It seems as if you also didn't bother asking this Deity."
Cheng Lingsu turned silent for a moment and then continued, "Since the college entrance exam has ended, I made plans to have fun but my dad requested me to take you along as well. You better make preparations, okay?"
Jiang Xiu almost laughed. You thought this Deity will accompany you just like that?
"We're planning to go to Hang City to see the shore and also organize a 2-day trip, We will consult about further plans after having some fun. When that time comes, you can return earlier."
Deity Xiu was like a key to her journey. She would have no use of the key after opening the door so she wanted to send him back, ordering him as she wished.
Only, it was really coincidental that their destination was Hang City.
"When are you setting off?"
"Tomorrow morning, 7 AM at the school entrance."
"This Deity shall arrive there on time."
As he was also planning to go to Hang City, he thought of hitching a ride with them.
Jiang Xiu was always punctual and accurate to the second. He arrived at the school's entrance right at 7:01 AM and noticed Ye Wenchen, Lin Shu and a few other schoolboys along with the girls, Cheng Lingsu, Ouyang Qian and Li Dan.
"Alright, since everyone has arrived, let's set off!"
Ye Wenchen stared coldly as if this time's failure in the exam hadn't influenced him at all.
It seemed as if it had instead made him calmer.
"Is everything arranged over there at Hang City?" asked Ye Wenchen.
"The boss of the bayside over-water holiday resort is my father's friend, I've already called him." Lin Shu's family business was a hotel so they were considered of the same trade.
The group had rented a tourist bus for use.
These people always hung out together for 3 years and were close to each other. A few of the guys had assembled together to play car while the girls chatted endlessly. Only Jiang Xiu sat inharmoniously at the rear seat.
"Susu, why did you invite him? He's so annoying!" Ouyang Qian stated.
Cheng Lingsu furrowed her pretty brows. She wasn't willing to invite him but had no other choice. She didn't know what wrong medicine her father had taken when he wanted her to absolutely take Jiang Xiu.
"He's after all the topper and might join the same university as me."
"It's better to have a good relationship beforehand."
A few sisters rolled their eyes helplessly. Ye Wenchen who was sitting ahead also heard this. A youngster's heart was also quite sensitive. He immediately started feeling unwell. From her tone, he felt as if Cheng Lingsu wanted to approach Jiang Xiu so he couldn't help but say to Lin Shu, "I really underestimated him."
He believed that Jiang Xiu was conspiring to obtain Cheng Lingsu. From Ye Wenchen's point-of-view, it was difficult for men to stay calm facing her peerless beauty so he felt that Jiang Xiu wasn't an exception as well.
"This youngster has really endured enough, a full three years and finally made his move against this Daddy."
He felt that Jiang Xiu's move had indeed shown results as Cheng Lingsu was treating him favorably.
Lin Shu patted his shoulders, "Feel relieved. Susu's gaze is always set up so high so there's no way she'll fall for him. Isn't it just reading? There are plenty of people who can read. Nowadays, having an ability is the most important. How could he compare to us with just a diploma from the Imperial University?"
"Who knows whether he might come requesting us for work after graduating?"
Ye Wenchen laughed coldly. His father was already the Deputy Mayor of Jiang City. In 5 years, if any incidents don't occur, his father would be the Mayor of Jiang City. At that time, he would become the No. 1 Silkpants of Jiang City. He believed that there was no way an insignificant fruit seller could compare with him.
"Just wait till we reach Hang City. We shall have fun with him then."
