Chapter 510: 510 Slap in the Face Event! Group Gathering [2 updates]

The siblings’ appearances, even at the Global Center, were extremely eye-catching.

Even though Ye Wanlan and Lin Wenli were only wearing simple T-shirts and jeans, one could easily spot them in the crowd.

People gasped in admiration and quietly asked if they were members of a major power in the main city, given their outstanding demeanors.

But judging by their clothes and attire, they didn’t even count as members of a lesser branch.

Mother Kang hesitated, then nudged Father Kang and whispered, "Isn’t that the Ye Wanlan that Le Jia always talks about? I remember you’ve seen her photo."

Kang Fu looked up upon hearing this and was also stunned, "Yes, yes."

It had to be admitted that Ye Wanlan’s face was truly remarkable, unforgettable at first glance.

And in person, compared to her photos, it was her aura that was even more captivating.

"Didn’t she reject Le Jia?" frowned Mother Kang. "Why is she here then?"

It was not difficult for Kang Le Jia to notice Ye Wanlan’s presence, and her anger flared, causing her to stride forward.

"Well, well, Ye Wanlan, you verbally declined but ended up following us here secretly," Kang Le Jia sneered mockingly, "I thought you were so noble, but it turns out it’s all an act, sneaking around like this, what does that mean?"

Lin Wenli coldly turned his head.

He detested the people of the Kang Family, who were as omnipresent and annoying as flies.

"Is your voice so loud because you’re the only one with a mouth?" Ye Wanlan turned calmly to face Kang Le Jia, "Then shut it."

Kang Le Jia’s face turned livid, "Who are you talking to? You—"

Her words choked in her throat, as she felt a chilling grasp tighten around her throat and seep into her marrow.

Ye Wanlan had already rolled up her sleeves and spoke indifferently, "Can’t shut up? Fine, I will teach you how to."

Lin Wenli felt slightly dazed.

Perhaps he had seen too gentle a side of Ye Wanlan during this period and almost forgot that his cousin was never the benevolent kind.

A year ago, when she came to Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School to take him home, she had nonchalantly crippled a team of tall and muscled guards from the Qin Family.

He had seen the fresh blood on her hands.

Beneath her calm, there was an even deeper madness.

Lin Wenli took a slight step back, hoping that if there was blood later, it wouldn’t splatter on his newly bought clothes.

Kang Le Jia came back to her senses, angrier than before, and roared, "Ye Wanlan, I’m warning you, you need to understand your own—"

Once again, she couldn’t finish her sentence because a staff member had pushed through the crowd and approached.

"No loud noises are allowed at the registration desk." The staff member coldly swept his gaze over Kang Le Jia, "If there are further offenses, you will be banned from Shenzhou University for life!"

Kang Le Jia instantly fell silent, not daring to utter another word.

Everyone around looked over, continuously scrutinizing Kang Le Jia.

In Harbor City, the Kang Family was undoubtedly number one, but their overall strength fell short of entering the top echelons of Yunjing, let alone the Global Center.

Here, no one recognized Old Master Kang, much less knew Kang Le Jia.

Old Master Kang, who had spent half his life battling in various business wars, had never been looked at with such eyes.

His face flushed red with irritation.

"Everyone else, be quiet too; this is Shenzhou University, not your wild marketplace." After saying this, the staff member left.

"..."

The registration desk became even quieter.

Kang Le Jia could hardly bear the pressure and humiliation, but she could not leave and had to endure.

"Mr. Lin Wenli, please keep your documents safe. Your interview time is tomorrow afternoon at 10:30." The staff member handed Lin Wenli a specially made ID badge, "Make absolutely sure not to be late; any delays will be recorded."

Lin Wenli acknowledged and safely stored the ID badge.

"Let’s go," said Ye Wanlan, "just in time to catch a meal."

The siblings left, and after a while, it was finally Kang Le Jia’s turn.

Her lips tightened as she signed her name and shakily took her ID badge.

Her interview time was at 4:30 in the afternoon, much later than Lin Wenli’s.

"But her name wasn’t on the interview list before!"

"What exactly is going on?!"

Kang Lejia felt as if she had been slapped across the face, the pain almost unbearable.

On the way back, everyone from the Kang Family was silent, each lost in their own thoughts.

It took a while before Old Madam Kang regained her composure, "The Jiangcheng Lin Family... also got an interview at Shenzhou University? Is it that easy to get an interview?"

Kang Lejia didn’t answer her question, instead, she coldly responded, "Grandma, getting an interview doesn’t mean much; he might not even pass."

There was still a written exam after the interview at Shenzhou University.

If one failed the written exam, they still couldn’t study at Shenzhou University.

She had been raised on elite education, had participated several times in international academic competitions for youth, and was certainly not someone Lin Wenli could measure up to.

Old Master Kang’s previously furrowed brow relaxed slightly, "Alright, the interview doesn’t start until tomorrow. Let’s not think too much about it today."

But he had already begun to harbor various suspicions.

Could it be that the Yunjing Lin Family had given support to the Jiangcheng Lin Family?

Because Old Master Kang simply didn’t believe that a branch family, on their own, could secure an interview spot at Shenzhou University.

Lin Wenli sat in the restaurant, picking up his knife and fork, yet he still felt somewhat surreal.

In his imagination, the Global Center was fraught with dangers, every step here could be treacherous, potentially impassable.

But under Ye Wanlan’s guidance, he faced none of these concerns.

"Come on, Wenli, have some," Wen Chaosheng warmly urged, "I’ve been to this restaurant many times. The prices are reasonable, and the food is good—perfect for workers like us."

Lin Wenli tried a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs; the taste was indeed not bad.

At that moment, someone spoke in the chat group.

[World’s Richest]: Good news. I won’t have any meetings tomorrow at noon. Anyone free raise your hand, my treat.

[Ghostbuster Bro]: Me!

[Cultured Person]: Rare chance to mooch a meal off Rich Sister. I want Dragon and Phoenix fish.

[World’s Richest]: Sure, I’ll order ten for you.

Dragon and Phoenix fish was a cultivated edible fish variety at Global Center, highly nutritious.

However, due to the high costs in breeding, the price was correspondingly high, costing a million per pound.

Looking at Kristin’s message, Wen Chaosheng was already quietly shedding tears.

Tomorrow, he would definitely feast!

The next day, morning.

Students at Shenzhou University went about their usual classes, and during a break, someone suddenly mentioned, "I heard the interview this time has even disturbed ’that person’ from the high tower!"

"From the high tower... Gosh, it couldn’t be that mad genius, could it?"

"Shush, keep it down. That person is now a school leader, don’t get caught, or you will be swimming hundreds of laps in the pool."

"I haven’t even seen this school leader before. I heard he only appears during dance and swimming classes."

"Unspeakable, unspeakable..."

...

The "Unspeakable" that the students referred to was currently sitting in the interview break room.

Ling Yunzhan, Dean of the Divinity School at Shenzhou University, was only twenty-seven years old.

He had the typical Oriental features, his ancestors had also once come to the Global Center from Shenzhou.

The door was pushed open and Yeh Xingli walked in, sitting across from Ling Yunzhan, "When you issue interview qualifications, can you have some standards? I was almost infuriated to the point of a myocardial infarction."

"You’ll get used to it, as true geniuses are too rare." Ling Yunzhan stroked his chin, "Have you met YN Sister? What does YN Sister look like? Tell me, see if it matches up to my imagination."

Yeh Xingli glanced at him, "Why don’t you find out when you meet her in a moment?"

"It’s just a few minutes away, why the secrecy?" Ling Yunzhan shrugged, "It’s not like you can scare me."
