Chapter 260: 193. White Horse Cup_2

Until that day, which carried a hint of fantasy, ten minutes, twenty thousand yuan.

He suddenly understood a truth, suddenly grasped what a professional player named "Zhou Sheng 2009" had once said in the game "DOTA2" he had played.

Before you have achieved anything, nobody cares about your self-esteem.

Some people’s lives need no explanation, nor will anyone bother to comfort that ignorant young man.

So, he began trying to understand Lu Jincheng.

"Hard at work, hard at work."

Lu Jincheng sat down with a smile, patted Zhang Gaoqiang on the shoulder, and nodded to the other two roommates as well.

During this time, he had been busy with the startup phase of his entrepreneurship, indeed missing a lot of campus life.

This nominal head of the class in business administration barely paid attention to worldly affairs and even delegated his responsibilities to the class secretary.

Moreover, with the counselor turning a blind eye, no matter which student expressed an opinion, they were skillfully deflected by Guo Minjie, and time just quietly passed.

"Qiangzi, why do you always look so worried lately?"

This professional course was Principles of Management, and Liu Yisheng wasn’t paying attention.

He first took out his phone to read a novel for a while, then his mood was disrupted by the sighs and groans of Qiang Zhihao sitting next to him.

So, he turned his head and nudged his roommate with his elbow.

"I had a fight with my girlfriend."

Qiang Zhihao obviously hadn’t slept well, with two large dark circles beneath his eyes; they were slightly red.

"Why?"

"I don’t know. She’s been getting colder lately, and just yesterday, she ignored all my messages the whole night. When I asked her about it, she just lost her temper."

Qiang Zhihao lay on the desk, looking absolutely dejected.

"..."

Listening, Lu Jincheng couldn’t help but rub his nose, but he kept quiet.

She hadn’t replied to messages yesterday...

It seemed to be because of a get-together with the boss.

At the party, Jiang Yu was completely overshadowed, while Yu Qingyue, who came in later, stole all the limelight. In that case, finding someone to vent her anger on...

Was somewhat understandable.

But such words, he simply couldn’t say.

"Believe me, Qiangzi, you’re such a catch. Right now, you might as well just ignore her. When she realizes her mistake and comes back to pamper you, a man has got to have his dignity!"

Liu Yisheng clenched his fists and gave Qiang Zhihao a pep talk across the room.

"Ignore her? If I ignore her, she’ll just ignore me. Won’t that be like breaking up?"

"And... how am I a catch? She’s making quite a bit of money now. She completely looks down on the little money I have."

Qiang Zhihao sounded increasingly helpless, turning his head towards Lu Jincheng as if clutching at a straw, he whispered.

"Brother Lu, you’re more experienced. What do you think I should do in this situation?"

"It’s better to demolish ten temples than to break up a marriage; I’d rather not say."

Lu Jincheng waved his hand and looked at Qiang Zhihao with a meaningful tone.

But this was already an unstated stance.

In other words, to let go of the desire to help others and respect their fate.

Other people’s relationships, Lu Jincheng was truly unconcerned, indifferent, and unwilling to meddle in the slightest.

Jiang Yu was a classic high-end ’green tea’—ambitious and fiercely determined to climb the ladder of success. This kind of personality was just not suitable for Qiang Zhihao.

He was still too green.

In the beginning stages of their relationship, Qiang Zhihao relied on his superior family background to be generous, which initially sparked some interest in Jiang Yu.

But as time passed and Jiang Yu caught the wave of Golden Stone Media, she was progressing rapidly; every day, she became a new version of herself.

It wasn’t long before Qiang Zhihao was played like a fish on the hook and treated like an on-call dog by Jiang Yu, being spun around.

At this point, Qiang Zhihao clearly wasn’t enough for her anymore.

She was tired of him.

The reason Jiang Yu hadn’t actively proposed a breakup was because she was considering that he was Lu Jincheng’s roommate.

She could only give cold violence, turning into ice, making him push her away himself.

Such tactics were very common and effective.

"...So that’s how it is."

Qiang Zhihao wasn’t a fool. Although Lu Jincheng said those words, he understood the subtext of his roommate’s message.

If anything had to be said, it was that the two of them were incompatible.

Maybe separating was for the better.

He fell silent.

He had originally wanted to use the joint meal between the two dorms, previously agreed upon by Lu Jincheng, as an opportunity to mend his relationship with Jiang Yu. He thought it over and decided not to make a fool of himself anymore.

Soon, after two specialized classes ended, came the ideological and politics class taught by the counselor.

"Hey! Look, don’t you think Teacher Guo is getting prettier?"

The sound of high heels clicked, and Guo Minjie entered the lecture hall with books in hand.

"Indeed, in youth one doesn’t recognize the beauty of a young lady, mistaking girls for a treasure, no more worries about love should thee carry; a young lady makes your heart merry."

Liu Yisheng happened to be reading a novel about young ladies on a website, looked up to see Guo Minjie, and involuntarily recited a string of jokes.

A few days apart, the counselor seemed to have grown more beautiful.

Of course, it was not that her facial features had changed; the charm mainly focused on her temperament.

It was the kind of whole-person radiance, like a brew of ancient tea worthy of careful appreciation.

Her eyes, her hair bun, her figure, all gave off a striking presence.

As if all the female classmates faded away in unison, the green tender shoots in their innocence could not last a single round before the blooming flowers of the season.

The vote would be a landslide if one used their feet.

Not worth mentioning.

"Students."

Guo Minjie tapped the blackboard, recapturing the attention of most people.

"Before class, I received a notice from the faculty, I have something to tell everyone."

"The upcoming December, several universities around Nanhu will hold the ’White Horse Cup’ tri-university debate competition. This competition has a long history, mainly for our freshmen. If you are interested, please contact your class leader to sign up."

"Let’s begin our class."

The seemingly mundane competition, the sleepy ideological and politics class.

None of these seemed able to pique Lu Jincheng’s interest.

He placed his phone on the table and chatted with Xie Yujia, who was far away in Hang City, about the factory matters.

Xie Yujia said that she had basically reached a preliminary intention with several factories.

But the final decision had to wait until the boss confirmed it in person; she would contact the factories to meet in Jiang City.

She sent a clear Excel spreadsheet with the factory size, core competitiveness, quotes, and backup options of SABC grades she had summarized herself.

What a relief.

Lu Jincheng only skimmed it for a minute and couldn’t help but sigh to himself, working with someone like Xie Yujia really was a relief.

Those who reached high positions, more or less, suffered from disdain for stupidity.

Just like Da Dongzi and Musk, when subordinates reported to them, they were always trembling.

Afraid that if they said something wrong, the boss would think on the spot that their expressive abilities were inadequate and their logic unclea,r and they might as well pack their bags and leave.

Although Mr. Lu wasn’t that extreme, it was common to look favorably upon a partner who valued efficiency and clarity.

[Let’s go with this S one you recommended, it’s really great, good job.]

Xie Yujia immediately replied with an OK.

In her selection of factories, she indeed gave it her all. Not only did she conduct due diligence for more than a dozen days, but she also sent staff to each potential factory to evaluate their quality.

All backed up with supporting case evidence and data analysis, which led to the categorization of SABC grades.

It had to be admitted, she was indeed an expert in doing business.

After arranging to meet the factory owner next week, Lu Jincheng’s phone vibrated, and he immediately received a new message.

[Do you want to participate in the tri-university debate competition?]

It was Zhong Ruixi, who was tying her ponytail and pretending to listen attentively in the front row.

[You want to participate?]

The implication was clear.

[I’ve been watching ’Strange Talk’ a lot lately, it seems fun, let’s sign up together, okay?]
