Chapter 85 I Won’t Do That Anymore
The weather is fine over the weekend.
In Mr. Ming's study, the scent of sandalwood curled up, and the tranquility was filled with solemnity.
Several documents were spread out on the large desk.
Uncle Zhou picked up one of the copies and handed it to Mingzhu: "Miss, this is a list of all the majors at Shanghai University."
Mingzhu took it and said softly, "Okay, thank you Uncle Zhou."
She looked down, her long eyelashes drooping slightly, casting a soft shadow under her eyelids.
Mr. Ming put down the teacup in his hand and spoke in a gentle and indulgent tone.
"Zhuzhu, have you decided on your major? Art? Literature? Or something else that interests you? Grandpa will support whatever you like."
Mingzhu didn't answer immediately.
She raised her head and looked at Jiang Zhi who was sitting quietly beside her. She suddenly asked, "What are you studying?"
Jiang Zhi raised his eyes upon hearing the voice and met her gaze.
Then his eyes gently fell on the list in her hand.
After a pause, he replied in a low voice: "Finance."
Ever since signing the agreement with Mr. Ming.
He can no longer decide his future path by himself.
Mr. Ming also changed his major to finance.
However, Jiang Zhi had no objection to changing majors.
To him, it makes no difference what he studies.
Mingzhu nodded without explaining why she suddenly asked this.
Her eyes fell on the majors of finance and economics on the list.
The finance major at Shanghai University is among the best in the country.
At this time, Mr. Ming spoke in a generous voice: "Zhuzhu, whatever you want is fine."
He knew Mingzhu and knew that she had little interest in numbers and economics.
Jiang Zhi sat aside in silence.
He just turned his head slightly to look at Mingzhu, his eyes as calm as water.
Totally respect her choice.
The corners of Mingzhu's lips curled up slightly.
Then he met Mr. Ming's gaze and made a decision: "Grandpa, I want to study finance too."
"Oh?" Mr. Ming was indeed a little surprised, but his surprise was quickly replaced by delight and relief. "Why do you suddenly want to learn this?"
Mingzhu smiled, her tone relaxed but serious: "I haven't come into contact with it before, but now I think it might be interesting to study a completely different field."
After she finished speaking, she paused again, her voice a little lower, but more determined.
"I can't be so ignorant. Grandpa, I can't let you worry about me all the time."
In her previous life, she had been willful to the end and chose the path she liked.
Now that she can choose again, her character is different from before.
Naturally, it is no longer possible to only care about immediate preferences as before.
Even if she doesn't like it, she must make sure she can understand it and hold it.
Mingzhu dragged out her tone again, looked at Jiang Zhi, and said with a smile: "Besides, Grandpa, Jiang Zhi's grades are very good, right? If I have any questions, I can ask him directly."
Jiang Zhi's results are indeed outstanding.
He is the runner-up in the Shanghai Stock Exchange this year.
This honor is enough to make any family excited.
It fell to him.
But it was like a small stone thrown into a deep pool.
It sank silently to the bottom without causing any extra ripples.
He refused media interviews and never even mentioned it on his own initiative.
But, that's what I think.
There wasn't even anyone who could hold a graduation party for him.
The excitement and congratulations when one’s name is on the list of successful candidates.
Even tacky showing off has nothing to do with him.
Warmth and support are what Jiang Zhi has been missing in his life for a long time.
Mingzhu looked at him with a smile in her eyes and said deliberately: "Jiang Zhi, you are too amazing."
Not anymore in the future.
Whatever Jiang Zhi lacks, Mingzhu will make up for him one by one.
Jiang Zhi met her gaze and understood the teasing meaning in her words.
A very soft glimmer appeared in those eyes that were always cold and indifferent.
He murmured in response, his voice filled with unquestionable commitment: "Yeah."
Old Master Ming looked at the two young men sitting side by side not far away, feeling a mixture of emotion.
It seems that Mingzhu really has her own considerations.
Even thought about the future.
He felt relieved and laughed out loud, "Okay, okay! Lao Zhou, go make the arrangements!"
"Yes, old man." Uncle Zhou also had a smile on his face. He nodded in agreement, turned around and left quickly to make arrangements.
Time flies and it is the start of the school year at Shanghai University. The leaves of the sycamore trees on the roadside are still green.
The air still lingers with the heat of late summer, but it is also mixed with the restlessness of youth.
For most freshmen, military training is the first inevitable lesson in their college life.
Sweat under the scorching sun, loud slogans, and stiff goose-stepping.
It is also an opportunity to quickly break down barriers and build friendships.
But for Mingzhu and Jiang Zhi, this is not a necessary process.
The two of them only appear during each class.
Leave directly after class, don’t live on campus, and don’t stay for long.
Plus their overly outstanding looks.
Almost the first time he appeared, he set off a fire in the forum of Shanghai University.
Title: [Holy crap! Two amazing freshmen joined the Finance Department today! Their looks are incredible! Please share some information!]
[Original Poster]: [Just like the title! This morning's Principles of Economics class completely stunned me! The guy was handsome and the girl was beautiful, a perfect match for me! The key is the atmosphere, who understands it! It's simply amazing!]
1L: [We're both in the Finance Department! Hands up! I'm not lying! Those two look like they came out of an idol drama! Their styles are completely different from ours!]
20L: [+1, and it looks like her family is super rich, and her temperament is amazing.]
30L: [They definitely didn't participate in military training! I've never seen freshmen so white and glowing on the playground!]
...
50L: [Not only did they not have military training, they also didn't seem to live on campus. As soon as class was over, I saw a black luxury car waiting at the school gate. I got in and drove away. It was very mysterious.]
100L: [So, does anyone know which family this young master or young lady belongs to? I'm so curious!]
150L: [It seems some of my classmates from the rich second generation circle recognized me, but when asked, they just smiled and kept quiet. They seemed to be quite close-mouthed. It seems I have quite a background.]
200L: [I only care if they're a couple? The way they look in class is so adorable... I'm sitting in the back and eating so much dog food! Boys really dote on them!]
250L: [Reply to 200L: Remove the "is it"?! They're definitely a pair!]
...
Such a mysterious and low-key thing.
For those who have just left high school with high pressure.
It is perfect for students whose university life is full of exploration and gossip spirit.
It's so curious that it makes people scratch their heads.
As a top university, Shanghai University naturally has no shortage of people with superior family backgrounds and who know Mingzhu.
But unless Mingzhu reveals her identity herself.
Otherwise, none of them would dare to speak out.
So everyone tacitly remained silent.
It was only quietly circulated within their respective circles: the eldest daughter of the Ming family had actually returned to China to study.
For a very long time.
Mingzhu and Jiang Zhi are both the focus figures that cannot be avoided in the Shanghai University forum and private chats.
Various speculations and discussions emerge one after another, and the heat remains for a long time.
