Chapter 310: As long as I want to do it, it’s always too late
"Let's put it this way. Our Economics Department Dean, Professor Qian, is a leader in the economics community. He has extensive research and is a key participant in China's economic system reform. He has taught for fifty years and trained a large number of outstanding economists. There are even economics awards and scholarships named after him.
Professor Qian said that Senior Kong's future achievements would be no less than his. The man paused and added, "The same can be said of Professor Hua from the Mathematics Department, Professor Gu from the Archaeology Department, as well as Professors Du and Shi... These individuals are all leading figures in their respective fields in China."
"This must be a lie..." Gao Qianqian's mind buzzed: "These must be just the halo given to her by the Zhong family, right?"
"The Zhong family?" The man blinked. "The Zhong family, the richest family in South City?"
"That's right." Gao Qianqian nodded immediately and said, "Kong Xiyan is..."
"In fact, according to speculation within our academy, Senior Sister Kong's personal wealth should have long since earned her the title of the richest person. However, she has always been a low-key person with rather eccentric interests. Although she has many patents, most of them are just for fun." The man interrupted Gao Qianqian with a smile, then blinked and asked her, "Excuse me, what were you about to say just now?"
"No, nothing." Gao Qianqian said blankly, feeling her throat dry. "Now these are just what you said. Do you have any other evidence?"
"Hmm?" The man blinked. "Can I borrow your computer?"
The man typed a webpage into the computer and explained to Gao Qianqian, "Senior Kong has a special fan site in our school. Outsiders don't know much about this. It contains a lot of information about her videos and papers.
You can take a look.”
"I understand. Let's stop here today." Gao Qianqian only glanced at him and quickly looked away: "You can go now."
"Then the follow-up course..."
"I'll contact you if I need anything."
"Okay, thank you~" After saying this, the man smiled and turned away, his steps brisk, looking very happy.
After the man left, Gao Qianqian came to the computer and clicked on a video.
This should be a small debate, and the topic of the debate is so strange that she doesn't know where to break the sentence after reading it.
Kong Xiyan served as the third debater.
The first thing she said was a familiar voice, and her casual tone spoke with an aggressive tone.
This time, she responded very relaxedly and even yawned while receiving the award.
That face looks so childish.
Fifteen? Sixteen?
While watching the video, Gao Qianqian couldn't help but touch her face.
She was once so young and naive, and she was also very unrestrained and high-spirited at that time, but what was she doing at that time?
She was attending school, studying Zhong Yangyang's every word and action, and monitoring everything about Zhong Yangyang. She understood Zhong Yangyang even better than herself.
If she had never focused her attention on Zhong Yangyang since she was a child, would she be no worse than anyone else?
Will she be like Kong Xiyan?
While thinking about it, Gao Qianqian clicked on a recently uploaded video.
This video should have been shot relatively recently.
Not only Kong Xiyan, but also Zhong Yangyang.
"Is this... Zhong Yangyang?" Gao Qianqian was stunned when she saw Zhong Yangyang running at full speed on the screen.
Zhong Yangyang had never run so fast before!
Zhong Yangyang, with her hair in a high ponytail, was running around in circles on the playground, with people cheering and shouting for her.
Her muscles were well-proportioned, and her chest rose and fell rhythmically with her breathing.
She is not the fastest runner, but she is the most eye-catching.
Zhong Yangyang ran all the way to the finish line and then walked towards Kong Xiyan.
I don’t know what they were talking about, I just saw that both of them were smiling.
They...seemed genuinely happy.
That was a happiness that Gao Qianqian had never experienced before.
Gao Qianqian felt so uncomfortable in her heart that she didn't know how to describe her feelings.
She had spent so many years on irrelevant people. Everything she had ever been proud of, everything she had ever been proud of, everything she had ever valued, now seemed like a joke.
She clicked on those videos one by one and watched them one by one.
Kong Xiyan has the same look in every video: relaxed, confident, and a bit lazy at heart. She can handle anything with ease.
When others are worried and anxious, she can even yawn, stretch, and play with a pen.
"That's too much..." Gao Qianqian murmured, only then realizing that her voice had become a little hoarse and her cheeks were cold.
Gao Qianqian raised her hand and touched her face. She had actually started crying without knowing when.
Unlike the jealousy she felt towards Zhong Yangyang when she was protected by the Zhong family since she was a child, when she looked at Kong Xiyan now, she felt a kind of jealousy that made her regret for wasting her life.
If she had never lived like that, she would at least be able to shine in a certain field now, right?
At this time, Gao Chengyi came back.
"Brother." Gao Qianqian stood up and looked at Gao Chengyi: "Brother, I want to ask you something."
"Ask." Gao Chengyi looked at Gao Qianqian's tearful face and was also confused: "What's the matter?"
"If I had never targeted Zhong Yangyang before, if I had only focused on myself before, would I..." Gao Qianqian was interrupted by Gao Chengyi before she could finish her question.
"Impossible." Gao Chengyi interrupted Gao Qianqian.
"Brother, I haven't finished asking!"
"That's not possible." Gao Chengyi looked at Gao Qianqian. "The Gao family was supported to target the Zhong family. If you had never targeted Zhong Yangyang at that time and only focused on yourself, your existence in this family would have no meaning and value. Do you understand what I mean?"
It was like a bucket of ice water was poured over her head. It was so cold that the blood in her body seemed to freeze and her whole body was trembling.
Gao Chengyi went straight upstairs and said only one sentence as he passed by Gao Qianqian: "You and Zhong Yangyang were destined to be different from the moment you were born."
Gao Qianqian froze in place. She didn't know how long she had been standing there. When she came to her senses, she felt herself shivering with cold all over.
"Yeah, what stupid things am I thinking? We... were born different." Gao Qianqian raised her hand to wipe away her tears and looked back at the computer screen.
On the paused screen, Kong Xiyan smiled at the camera, as confident and lazy as ever.
"So what if I'm different?" Gao Qianqian clenched her fists at her side and said, "I've never been worse than anyone else!"
It was the Gao family that dragged her down, and it was her past self, not her present self, who was stuck in the quagmire.
"It's not too late, it's not too late. As long as I want to do it, it's always too late." Gao Qianqian watched Kong Xiyan's video in the group again and searched for a few more knowledge points for expansion.
While Gao Qianqian was not giving up on self-improvement, Kong Xiyan was stargazing.
"Interesting." Kong Xiyan looked at the stars in the sky and curled her lips: "It's really... getting more and more interesting."
