Chapter 155

As the top university in the capital city of East China, the opening ceremony for new students was held in a very grand manner.

Ji Wanmei stood gracefully in the line on the playground, and soon her fame spread.

It's said that a very pretty new female student has joined the management department, and quite a few boys have been secretly inquiring about her.

The president of East China University was giving a serious and inspiring speech on the stage in the playground, outlining a bright future for the new students, which made everyone's blood boil.

Ji Wanmei listened very attentively.

She was unaware that her 'good reputation' had spread like wildfire.

Soon, the title of the most beautiful girl in the management department automatically fell to her.

After the principal finished speaking, the freshman mentors took the stage to give their speeches, which were all the same long, inspiring speeches.

The future of our motherland needs them to build it, and the world needs them to change it.

The principal's speech was much more substantial and of a higher standard, and everyone listened with great enthusiasm. However, when the two mentors spoke, the audience gradually grew tired of it, started whispering among themselves, and fewer people paid attention.

Only students like Zhou Min, who were eager to experience the atmosphere of the school, kept their eyes glued to the stage.

Because Ji Wanmei was considered tall for a girl, she stood a little to the back.

They were not far from Zhou Yuejuan and Fang Xiaoqin.

After the instructor finished speaking, it was finally a student representative's turn to speak on stage.

He was a young and handsome boy, sunny and clean-cut, with a gentle smile and a deep, scholarly and refined air.

As soon as he stepped onto the stage, many female students in the audience focused their attention on him.

Fang Xiaoqin, seeing the senior student on stage, was even more excited. She asked repeatedly, "Who is that senior student representing the students? What's his name? What year and major is he in?"

A classmate nearby remarked, "This senior is a celebrity at East China University! Senior Lu Zhuoxuan!"

"Lu Zhuoxuan, Lu Zhuoxuan..." Fang Xiaoqin's heart fluttered, and she repeated this beautiful name over and over again, feeling as if she had fallen in love.

Their eyes were almost glued to the radiant young man on stage.

"I heard that the Lu family is quite influential. Our school library was donated by Lu Zhuoxuan's grandfather."

"There's even an inscription by his grandfather on the stone sculpture in front of the library."

"That's amazing, what's his family background?"

"What other background could it be? A political background, of course."

Ji Wan listened to the discussions of her classmates and also looked up at the student representative on the podium.

His voice was clear and bright, his smile was gentle, and he spoke eloquently, truly embodying the qualities of someone from a distinguished family.

However, Ji Wanmei didn't pay attention to these things, and only glanced at them before looking away.

Starting today, she will begin her university life again. Although much of the knowledge will be learned again, she will surely gain more from this experience.

The first week of classes was relatively relaxed, mainly to help everyone quickly adapt to the university pace.

Ji Wanmei initially applied for a management major, a major that her father strongly supported her in pursuing.

Although Ji Wanmei later studied fashion design in her previous life, what she learned in college still played a significant role in her later success in independently starting her own clothing factory.

The Management Department and the Chinese Literature Department have the most female students.

In this era, female college graduates often find themselves in high demand and sought-after positions as office secretaries, clerks, or accounting secretaries, leading to a large number of applicants.

Zhou Min majored in accounting. She and Ji Wanmei were not in the same classroom, so they only had more contact in their dormitory.

On the contrary, Zhou Yuejuan, like Ji Wanmei, is in the same major.

However, Ji Wanmei had already made up her mind to stop associating with them and usually went to and from class alone.

When the weekend arrived, Ji Wanmei started getting busy.

She needed to go to the post office to mail some letters, one to her father and another to Luo Chunyan.

Because there is only one landline phone downstairs in the dormitory, and students need to use the phone at any time, and often when family members call, they may not be in the dormitory at the same time, so writing a letter is more reliable.

However, Ji Wanmei still used the landline downstairs in the dormitory to call her father, Ji Xingguo, and told him that if he needed to contact her, it would be best to do so between 7 and 8 pm, otherwise he might not be able to reach her.

The letters written to Luo Chunyan mainly concerned inquiring about the store's operations and asking about the recent restocking items.

Then, at the very end of the letter, she also shared some interesting stories from her university days with Luo Chunyan.

At that time, Luo Chunyan will send over a letter along with the store's accounts for the entire month for Ji Wanmei to review.

Her father probably visits the store every now and then.

After mailing the two letters, Ji Wanmei went to the bank, rented a small safe, and put the two passbooks inside.

She only kept two or three hundred yuan in cash on her, for emergencies.

She threaded a rope through the safe key and wore it as a necklace.

After doing all that, she took a bus to the place where she had ordered the cheongsam from Grandma Song, where she had promised to go to her Shu embroidery studio every weekend to learn Shu embroidery.

Knowing that it was the weekend and Ji Wanmei would be picking up her cheongsam, Grandma Song was waiting for Ji Wanmei at the cheongsam shop early in the morning.

Ji Wanmei arrived at the shop around noon. As soon as she entered, she saw Grandma Song sitting behind the shopkeeper, studying the new embroidery pattern with the master craftsman.
