Chapter 356: 333 truly false and genuine

After the fifteenth of the first lunar month, various universities began their new semester one after another.

The first class meeting before the start of the semester basically involved summarizing the past and looking forward to the future, especially for the graduating class.

As a rising star at East University, Jiang Chen naturally received enthusiastic invitations from his counselor and classmates to give a speech on stage.

The once notorious sycophant had completely transformed himself and become the target and idol of countless students.

Of course.

There were still those who were envious, and when discussing Jiang Chen in private, they would snidely refer to him as "that toady," but this didn’t affect the thunderous applause he received when he spoke.

The naked truth told us through five thousand years of history is just like that—victors are crowned, losers are vilified. No matter how humble and bitter your past, as long as you succeed in the end, you will be placed high on a pedestal and worshipped.

Jiang Chen spoke as the male representative, while the female representative was Ai Qian.

As Jiang Chen’s career soared, that past romance of theirs gradually faded in most people’s minds, but of course, it wasn’t so easy for their classmates to forget.

Ai Qian was once the class belle, radiant and brilliant, but now the tables had totally turned.

Compared to Jiang Chen’s aura, the so-called class belle had completely lost her luster.

Yet the two seemed to show no signs of strangeness. When they met at the lectern, they simply nodded and smiled at each other.

Even though he had cursed her openly and mercilessly in the past, Luo Peng had also let go of the hatred in his heart by now.

What’s done is done.

Everyone had embarked on a brand new journey in life, there was no need to dwell on the past and nitpick.

"Don’t you think Ai Qian seems a bit different from before?"

Li Shao muttered.

"She’s become more mature,"

Luo Peng said softly.

"If she had been like this when she was with Brother Chen..." Bai Zheli adjusted his glasses.

Luo Peng smiled, "Don’t get cause and effect mixed up. If she hadn’t broken up with Jiang Chen, she would never have become like this."

Li Shao and Bai Zheli fell silent.

After the class meeting ended, quite a few people came over to curry favor with Jiang Chen and his group.

That’s right.

Brownnosing.

In the second semester of senior year, there were basically no classes left, just the graduation project, internship, or exams.

That is to say, in the next half year, even classmates might find it hard to see each other again.

If not to forge closer ties now, then when?

The more friends you have, the more paths you find.

Getting on good terms with someone like Jiang Chen could never be bad.

It took a while, but Jiang Chen finally finished dealing with everyone and walked out of the dormitory building with Luo Peng and the others, only to see Ai Qian standing ahead in the hallway, as if waiting for him.

There was no awkwardness; he naturally continued walking forward.

"Jiang Chen, can we talk for a bit?"

Ai Qian smiled.

"Jiang Chen, then we’ll go ahead,"

Luo Peng said as if it were nothing, then left with Bai Zheli and Li Shao.

"I thought he was going to berate me again."

Ai Qian laughed as she watched them go.

Although the harsh winter had passed, the weather hadn’t warmed up so quickly; she was wearing a warm-colored knit sweater today, and her usually flowing long hair was tied up into a high bun, exuding warmth with a hint of playfulness.

The once romantic couple walked side by side outside, maintaining a clear one fist’s distance from each other.

"I haven’t had the chance to congratulate you yet—you’ve achieved such great success before even graduating."

"Are you sincere, or is this just lip service?"

"Of course, it’s sincere."

Jiang Chen laughed, "Why do I feel like you cursing me in your heart would be more realistic?"

Ai Qian didn’t get angry; her smile remained gentle, "Can’t you imagine that women can be generous too? Are only men allowed to be magnanimous?"

Jiang Chen nodded.

"If it’s a sincere congratulations, then I accept it."

Ai Qian glanced at him and chuckled.

Even though the fifteenth had passed, the moon was still very round, hanging bright in the sky, like a jade disc.

"Actually, I’ve always known that with your talent, standing out was just a matter of time; it’s just that it happened much earlier than I expected,"

Ai Qian spoke softly.

This wasn’t flattery.

It’s just that too many women are like that, wanting to pick the fruits without the patience to wait for the bloom.

"Just luck,"

Jiang Chen replied, then asked, "What about you, what are your plans after graduation?"

"I’ve already got an offer from a listed company. It won’t be long before I start my internship there. After becoming a regular employee post-graduation, I’ll earn 12k, how about that, impressive right?"

Jiang Chen smiled and nodded,

"Where is it? An East Sea enterprise?"

"Yeah, in East Sea, after all, I still need to work on my thesis, and traveling far would be inconvenient."

The atmosphere quieted down.

Although both of them acted as if nothing was the matter, some things couldn’t be changed.

Ai Qian reached into her pocket and stopped.

Jiang Chen had no choice but to stop as well.

"Here."

Ai Qian raised her arm, holding it out straight in front of Jiang Chen, then slowly opened her hand.

A ring was revealed under the bright moonlight.

It was a copper ring, simple and unadorned, and indeed not very valuable; it was bought from a street stall during a night market stroll by Jiang Chen.

"Didn’t you say you had lost it?"

Raising his gaze from the copper ring, Jiang Chen looked surprised.

"I found it again while cleaning up the dormitory when I went home for the New Year."

Ai Qian smiled, "Here, it’s back with its original owner now."

Jiang Chen was silent.

Ai Qian’s arm was still outstretched, her face beaming, "What’s wrong? Were you really planning to trade it for a giant diamond ring in the future? If that’s true, then I might just keep it."

At the time, when Jiang Chen spent a few dozen yuan on the copper ring to make his girlfriend happy, he did indeed make a similar promise.
