Chapter 240 Professional Intelligence
Zhou family mansion.
Zhou Chechen threw off his coat and hurriedly ran into the house. He came back from school today and wanted to ask his elders what the foundation building exam in Xiandu was all about. Why didn't he know anything about it before?
But as soon as Zhou Chechen passed the hall, he slowly stopped and looked at the people in the reception room with a look of astonishment on his face.
"Chechen, you're here just in time."
Zhou Yang in the reception room also noticed Zhou Chechen's appearance, waved and said, "This is your Uncle Zhang, and Aunt Bai."
"They are both extremely talented and have great potential for success. I treat them as equals. When you meet them in the future, just call them Uncle Zhang and Aunt Bai."
Zhou Chechen stood there in a daze, seemingly unable to react for a moment.
Zhou Yang glared at him and said, "This kid, why doesn't he know how to call for help?"
Zhang Yu laughed and said, "Look how scared you are of the child."
He waved his hand and said, "It's okay, we are all classmates. From now on, you can call me Brother Yu and call her Sister Zhenzhen. We will call you Xiao Zhou from now on."
Bai Zhenzhen looked at Zhou Chechen and said, "Why didn't this kid show any expression after meeting?"
Zhou Yang smiled helplessly and said, "He has been spoiled by his father and doesn't know any rules."
Then he looked at Zhou Chechen and said, "How come you didn't even think of giving a red envelope to your Uncle Zhang and Aunt Bai when you saw them?"
"Hurry up and transfer a gift of 10,000 to the elders. Did you hear me?"
Under Zhou Yang's gaze, Zhou Chechen reluctantly transferred ten thousand each to Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen.
Bai Zhenzhen smiled and said, "Good boy, Xiao Zhou, go play by yourself. We still have something to discuss with your Uncle Zhou."
Then, under the pressure of Zhou Yang's gaze, Zhou Chechen still gritted his teeth and shouted: "Yu...Brother Yu, Sister Zhenzhen."
On his way to leave, Zhou Chechen felt as if something in his heart was shattered. At this moment, he felt very clearly that he, Zhang Yu, and Bai Zhenzhen were no longer in the same dimension because of the absolute gap in academic performance.
He thought to himself, "I am still just a chess piece, but they have gradually jumped out of the chessboard and onto a bigger chessboard."
After Zhou Chechen left, Zhou Yang said, "There will be many people at home tonight, so let's go to my study to continue our conversation."
Not long after, as Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen left, Zhou Yang recalled what happened today.
After discovering that the news that Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen had obtained the foundation-building qualification certificates had spread throughout the city, especially after Oasis Group was also involved, Zhou Yang knew... he had lost the best opportunity to take action against Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen.
Without spending much time thinking about how Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen overcame Xiandu Ye and obtained the foundation-building qualification certificate, Zhou Yang's first thought was about how to deal with the aftermath.
"Then... let's try to ease the relationship first."
Compared to continuing to fight with the other party, or waiting for possible retaliation from the other party in the future, spending money to avoid disaster and further ease the relationship... seems to be the best way at the moment.
So Zhou Yang also wanted to donate some money to Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, and test their attitudes at the same time.
Zhou Yang recalled the communication process with the two people today. After accepting his three million, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen behaved very friendly and did not seem to hold a grudge at all.
"Originally, Zhou Chechen had already brought people to apologize to them and compensated them last time."
"With my personal presence this time, in the best case scenario... they should no longer be enemies with the Zhou family."
"Unless...the two of them are particularly vindictive, or they know the evil god behind me."
"If they still want to deal with me after today, don't blame me for being a loser."
“But…” Thinking of the current situation of Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, Zhou Yang sneered secretly: “They are attracting so much attention now, maybe they will collapse at any time, and it won’t be my turn to worry about them.”
…
On the other side, after Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen left Zhou's house, the smiles on their faces gradually disappeared.
Zhang Yu said slowly: "It seems that he wants to ease the relationship with us. How sincere do you think he is? Is he just stalling temporarily, or does he really not want to fight with us anymore?"
Bai Zhenzhen said: "To be rational, he really doesn't want to fight us, but we can't rule out accidents after all."
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Yes."
"I will feel uneasy if I don't get rid of the Zhou family and all those who know about Fu Ji's existence."
Fu Ji said: "At least he is willing to ease the relationship with you now, so pretend to cease fire with him first."
"Time is with you after all."
Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen had just finished talking with Zhou Yang when they were immediately called over by Yun Ni, the captain of the patrol team.
They said that in order to reward them for their hard work in the patrol team over the past year, the patrol team would promote them and make them top outsourced personnel.
Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were both slightly stunned when they heard this. God knows what they had worked so hard for in the patrol team for the past year without getting paid for anything. They only felt that after arriving at the patrol team's office building, everyone was so polite and friendly.
Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Since I became the top student in the grade, I feel that there are more and more good people in Songyang High School. Everyone is so kind."
"After I passed the foundation-building exam, there were more good people in Songyang City."
At this moment, Zhang Yu understood more and more why people in Kunxu had to study hard and take exams. This broken Kunxu was like a hell that would gradually turn into a paradise the better your grades were.
After being promoted to the outsourcing position, Yun Ni also brought him good news.
"You are now top outsourced personnel and can attend a cross-level meeting once a month."
"It just so happens that Pian Pian has also taken a position on the second floor, so we can also communicate across levels..."
Zhang Yu quickly understood that this was an excuse for a cross-level meeting, giving them an opportunity to communicate with Zhang Pianpian.
So Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen came to a separate meeting room. As the dedicated network was connected, a line of handwriting emerged in their expectant eyes.
"Wanfa University, Department of Talismans, Foundation Building Monk Zhang Pianpian is talking to you."
Zhang Yu was shocked, but also slightly relieved.
He thought that with Zhang Pianpian's talent and strength, it didn't seem incredible that he had been on the second level for so long, passed the foundation-building certificate, and then completed the foundation-building.
"But isn't this too high-profile?"
Then the screen flashed, and Zhang Pianpian appeared in front of them.
Seeing Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen in front of the screen, Zhang Pianpian was stunned at first, as if she didn't expect that the people on the other side of the screen would be Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
However, Zhang Pianpian quickly reacted, smiled slightly, and said with relief: "It seems that you two have passed the foundation building test. The inspection team has begun to treat you preferentially?"
As Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were talking to each other, they told Zhang Pianpian about their experience in passing the foundation-building exam and some of the current conditions in Songyang City.
Although Fu Ji knew a lot, both Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen trusted Zhang Pianpian more and wanted to consult her about the next university application.
Zhang Pianpian nodded and said, "Although I said before that I would wait for you at Wanfa University."
"But given your current situation, you can make some other choices based on the conditions given by the admissions representatives..."
While chatting with Zhang Pianpian, Zhang Yu asked about the long list of names displayed on the other party's communication.
Zhang Pianpian explained, "You will understand when you come to the second floor. Starting from the second floor, the entire second, third, fourth, and even fifth and sixth floors, everything serves the university."
“Every university is a city, and all the companies and administrative agencies in the city are also under the control of the university.”
"Here, people are divided into different levels by academic qualifications, universities, departments, and realms."
"Even if they have the same academic background and are from the same university, but different departments, they can be divided into different levels. For a good major... even the toilet paper in a special teaching building is of better quality than the pages of a book for a bad major."
"Here, everyone looks at people's realm first, then their education, then the university they studied at, and finally their major."
"College students can insult junior college students harshly, and students from the top ten can step on the heads of students from other schools."
"Everyone wants to have their realm, education, university and major tattooed on their heads, showing them one by one."
“Even within the same university, students with good majors have better teaching resources and can sit a few rows ahead in class.”
"You may not even be able to get a class for a bad major. I heard you have to wait in the back even to use the toilet."
“So on the second floor, it is only natural that you present your situation in detail and receive different treatments according to your level.”
Zhang Yu nodded when he heard this, but he was not surprised at all. In his opinion, this was how Kunxu divided people into different levels.
The above situation was not unexpected to him at all, except that compared to the first level, people seemed to be differentiated more finely.
Zhang Pianpian continued, "After hearing this, you should understand how important it is to choose a major. Even if you get into a good university, if you don't choose a good major, you will only live a relatively failed life."
"Not to mention that the income gap may be ten or a hundred times, it is even difficult to find a job in some majors."
"But it just so happens that you have the foundation-building certificate, so you should have a wide range of professional choices. I can tell you some of the information I have learned."
"Take Wanfa University as an example. Finance, Refining, and Taoism are the three departments at the top."
"But the background and wealth required for finance and Taoism are too high. I don't recommend you two to choose them."
"As for refining, it is a late-stage option for you. Although it is difficult in the early stages, you should have a chance..."
"Civil engineering is also good and suitable for laying the foundation."
"After all, you can start working and earning money right after you enter civil engineering. It's a good choice to earn money for two years first and then change majors after you have laid a solid foundation."
"But don't study civil engineering until you graduate. If you get a civil engineering diploma, it will be difficult for you to get out of this pit for the rest of your life..."
"And don't apply to the Department of Archaeology. The better you learn this major, the more you will have to go to the eighteen underground floors of Kunxu to dig up the remains of sects that have been lost in the past and study the sects that have been eliminated in history..."
"Other majors like security, weapons, and military are also good early-stage majors. You can improve quickly in the early stages and make money quickly, but they are more likely to be optimized as you get older..."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly and asked, "Is this the case with Master Xinghuo?"
Zhang Pianpian said with some emotion: "Yes, if he had changed his major, maybe he would have a different life now."
"By the way, don't apply to the medical department. This major is currently dominated by second-tier family forces. It's full of people from local families. Outsiders won't be able to make a name for themselves..."
During Zhang Pianpian's introduction, various information about the majors and universities on the second floor appeared in front of Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, allowing them to gradually have a general outline of their future choices.
