Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 1093: Chapter 1127: The Academic Foam and the Academic Dregs

“Nothing, nothing, just caught a cold…”

To prevent Liu Ruyan from noticing, she pretended to be calm.

“No way, a cold wouldn’t make you look so pale, right? From your appearance, are you not feeling well?”

Liu Ruyan was unwilling to give up, and she also felt a bit sorry for Nangong Bing’s current situation. A woman supporting the entire Tianyu Group, it’s imaginable how tired she must be, and there’s no one to help her.

Both a CEO and the highest chairman.

Ever since the chaotic board meeting event last time, all the shares are now personally held by Nangong Bing, and no shares were auctioned off.

She supports it all on her own, just thinking about it is exhausting.

“No, how can that be, my health has always been good.” Nangong Bing gave her a deep glance and said, “Let’s talk about serious matters.”

“I have always been talking about serious matters with you, you just haven’t been paying attention,” Liu Ruyan pouted, showing dissatisfaction: “I’ve made up my mind. If there is a company in Zhonghai that catches my eye, at most I’ll shamelessly apply for a job there, at worst I’ll be kicked out, it sounds new but not disgraceful. After all, my mentality is very strong unless they don’t have the vision. But, apart from your Tianyu in Zhonghai, I can’t find a company that matches my temperament.”

“You say that, but if you really want to do it, do you know how difficult it is?” Nangong Bing rolled her eyes, looking at her with a bit of irritation.

“Hey, hey, Nangong Bing, am I not your good buddy? Do you have to speak of me so poorly? After all, I’m also a woman from a family business, and after all these years, with my parents’ nurturing and my own efforts, you really don’t believe in me?” Liu Ruyan was annoyed, she returned home wanting to prove to her parents and her friends that she was not just about wasting money, she could make money too, she just hadn’t shown it yet.

“Oh?! Are you serious about what you said? Have you really decided?”

“Of course! Do you think I, Liu Ruyan, am the kind of person who can’t keep her word? Once I dare to say it, it means I, Liu Ruyan, can do it. Without absolute confidence in myself, why would I come back home? Also, I’ll first find a small company to work at. Just to see, if they are really discerning, then it’s their luck, if they don’t hire me, it can only show they lack vision. After all, I am a grad from Cambridge University in the United Kingdom.”

“I think you’re more like a Cambridge University underachiever,” Nangong Bing continued to tease her.

“Bingbing, I don’t quite like what you’re saying, there’s a huge difference between an underachiever and a grad. An underachiever is like raw materials, for example, if you want to make a craft, don’t you need materials? After using the materials, isn’t there some leftover? These remnants are what you call scraps, no matter how you try to use those scraps, they have no value, at most they’re nutrient-poor soil fertilizer.

But a grad is different, it hasn’t been used yet, its value already surpasses everything in itself, like gold. If you make a big piece of gold into a ring or something, even its leftover scraps are probably very valuable, this is the difference between a grad and an underachiever.” Liu Ruyan sincerely explained.

“So you’re saying, an underachiever is someone who tries to learn but fails, and people like you, a grad, are better than underachievers even when lazy to study, right?”

“Exactly, Bingbing, you’re too smart, you got what I meant right away. It seems as if my parents bore me, and you, Bingbing, know me best.” Liu Ruyan hurriedly approached to flatter her.

“Go, go, go, stop flattering here. What are you trying to express with all that? Tell me, don’t you have the feeling of being talented but unrecognized now, always feeling that your talent is wasted and that no one suddenly appears as a talent scout, is it that when they appear you’ll be surprised till your mouth drops open and say ‘Wow, I finally found you, you’re my prodigy’.”

“Haha, Bingbing, you really understand me, I’m telling you my feelings now are exactly like what you just said. I’m full of talent but no one acknowledges me, let alone recognizes me. I’m sure that if any company dares to hire me, I, Liu Ruyan, swear to build their group into the most top-notch existence, even surpassing Tianyu!”

Liu Ruyan said with excitement, her confident eyes brightened.

It was as if she was declaring her ambitious and domineering oath to the future.

However, Nangong Bing just smiled and shook her head in resignation.

So many young people who just graduated or just came to the big city to start a business.

On the first day they came to this city, didn’t they all have the same dreams, ideals, and ambition, but in the end?

They all succumbed to reality, bowed their heads to it. In front of reality, everything is illusory. Like if your monthly salary is ten thousand, just staying at a small hotel in Zhonghai costs a few hundred per night, not to mention rents now all involve deposits and advance payments.

This past year, Nangong Bing has seen countless people who initially vowed to create their place in Tianyu’s Golden Tower, but?

In a year, how many people were defeated by their initial dreams, carrying various difficulties.

“Alright, alright, don’t I believe in you enough?” Nangong Bing said with a helpless smile. In her mind, she thought if Liu Ruyan really couldn’t find a good job, she wouldn’t mind arranging a position for her in Tianyu Group. After all, managing the entire operation of Tianyu alone as a woman is really tiring. Finding someone to help wouldn’t be bad, and Liu Ruyan’s family is wealthy enough to not care about Tianyu Group anyway.

“Great! Once I, Liu Ruyan, make up my mind, I won’t change it. Rest assured, wait for that day, even if I can’t be a president level, being a CEO or general manager is not bad. Even if I can’t realize my dream, I could help you at Tianyu.”

Nangong Bing shook her head, took a light sip of coffee, she truly wasn’t giving up easily.

“Okay, you’ve kept me company all day, I’ll treat you to dinner tonight, alright?”

“No, no, no, after a long day, how can dinner make up for my fatigue? Let’s find a high-class women’s private club for some relaxation first.”

“Alright, alright, I’ll fulfill your request, okay?”

Nangong Bing rolled her eyes, resigning to her demands.

…

At night, Zhang Mengjie had left the conference room for two hours already, Lin Zifeng was alone quietly staying in the conference room.

With a cigarette between his fingers, he closed his eyes tightly, his brain racing as he thought, judged, and analyzed.

Every choice he made now, every result he judged could very well change his future destiny, he couldn’t be careless at all.

If what Meng Chanji said is true, then Lin Zifeng’s current situation is extremely dangerous.

Even implicating everyone around him.

He thought that after resolving the Heavenly Gate matter, there would be no more worries, but it seems the real danger is much more serious than he imagined.

If his identity is exposed, including the secret of having the Magic Bracelet, he is sure to die!
