Jiang Jianian chuckled, "It's best that you think that way."
That's a strange statement.
But Ye Zhiwei didn't think too much about it. After all, they had less contact during their four years of university, and Jiang Jianian would definitely not be working in the Ye family anymore, so their interactions might not be as frequent.
Seeing Ye Zhiwei's regretful expression, Ji Shuli felt that the chances of him expecting his little cousin to bully Jiang Jianian's arrogance were slim. He felt a strange sense of being fed dog food and snorted inwardly.
He didn't want to be an accomplice to these two. He would either wait for his little cousin to find out on her own, or let Jiang Jianian tell Ye Zhiwei about it herself.
Jiang Jianian, the only one of the three who knew the whole situation, only glanced deeply at Ye Zhiwei and didn't reveal anything. Before school started, Jiang Jianian used great self-control to stop herself from thinking about other things.
Now that he's settled on being in the same school, he'll have plenty of time to do what he wants.
There is ample time.
The most pressing matter for Jiang Jianian now is the research institute.
Coincidentally, there was a senior student in the research institute, Zheng Xuekai, who was also a doctoral student at Yenching University recruited by Li Lizhang.
Zheng Xuekai comes from an ordinary family, but he is very talented and almost omnipotent. He has achieved his current status entirely through his own hard work.
Unlike other academics who regard money as dirt, he bluntly stated that he joined a promising research institute in order to earn more money. During his undergraduate and master's studies, he had already taken on part-time jobs and invested in financial management, reaping considerable profits.
Such a prodigy felt a sense of kinship when he saw Jiang Jianian.
However, Jiang Jianian is quite different from him. Jiang Jianian is a genius. Even a prodigy like Zheng Xuekai needs a period of time to comprehend knowledge points, but Jiang Jianian can study them thoroughly very quickly. He is too smart and only needs a little bit to understand. Sometimes academic research requires in-depth study, but the sense of accomplishment from thorough study is too little for Jiang Jianian because he can always discover things that others cannot discover with ease.
Young people like Jiang Jianian are incredibly talented, but they are too indifferent to everything, have no attachments, and are sometimes so cold that it is frightening.
Zheng Xuekai wanted to help Jiang Jianian, but Jiang Jianian actually asked him about something.
Zheng Xuekai laughed and said, "I always thought you were uninterested in anything, but I never expected you could find something that interests you."
Jiang Jianian calmly asked about Yenching University.
After explaining everything, Zheng Xuekai couldn't help but sigh, "At school, everyone is a top student from their respective schools, so there's definitely no problem with their studies. But there have always been big problems with accommodation and getting along with roommates. You don't choose your roommates in college; they are randomly assigned by the school. It's great if you can get along well with them, but actually, there are more conflicts than anything else. Those from slightly better-off families who can't stand the dormitory atmosphere will basically move out."
Jiang Jianian wasn't particularly interested at first, but after hearing this, he paid a little more attention and politely said, "Houses near Yenching University aren't cheap, are they?"
“Of course it’s not cheap, and nowadays you can’t buy any high-end villas. The only people who can afford a small villa nearby are rich. Plus, it’s a villa next to Yenching University, and the environment is so good. Even if you have the money to buy one, no one would be willing to pay.” Zheng Xuekai said with some pride, “I bought one by chance with a loan.”
At this point, Zheng Xuekai changed the subject and said with some regret, "However, I'm not developing my career near Yenching University, and the mortgage on that villa is too much of a burden. I'm thinking of selling it."
Jiang Jianian looked at Zheng Xuekai, his previous coldness and aloofness gone, and instead politely said, "Senior Brother Zheng, may I speak to you in private?"
