"Menglong, we've already helped you revise your graduation thesis, so you don't have to come to school anymore if you don't want to. Just show up for the graduation defense when it's time,"
"Got it, senior. I'll thank the other seniors on your behalf. I'll treat everyone to a meal when the time comes!"
In just half a month, Zhang Menglong had gotten his hands on a graduation thesis that others might not be able to complete in three or four months. Moreover, every data graph and every word had been carefully revised; it was absolutely a model among undergraduate theses.
"Haha, junior brother you're too polite. If it weren't for you, we couldn't be living such a wealthy life, right?" Zhu Mengchao said mysteriously. "Do you know? This year, the number of students who pre-registered for our research group has already exceeded 100! Our entire department only enrolls 120 students a year, and that's before word has even spread."
Zhang Menglong already could imagine how bustling it would be on the day of the official interview at Teacher Han's research group.
"Alright, I won't disturb you any longer; we still have experiments to do. Remember to come by the research group anytime you want to hang out!"
"Sure thing!" Zhang Menglong hung up the phone and picked up an exquisitely packaged small box next to him.
Inside the box was a string of purple jadeite bracelets, exceptionally beautiful under the sunlight, shining like a dazzling violet.
They were delivered by Yuan Muye earlier that morning. That huge emperor purple jadeite raw stone was crafted into several dozen jewelry pendants. Although traditionally, jadeite accessories are seen as somewhat outdated,
the designers and craftsmen at Yuan Muye's place were truly exceptional. These pieces were not only full of luxury but also incorporated modern, youthful elements, making them extremely fashionable even for twenty-year-olds.
This particular bracelet was the piece Zhang Menglong was most satisfied with, with an inner diameter of 14 centimeters, made of smoothly polished jadeite beads and adorned with some precious and rare metals. It was the kind of piece that could capture anyone's attention at first sight, regardless of age or gender.
Yuan Muye told him that even though this bracelet didn't use much material, it was crafted from the best part of the entire jadeite stone. If sold on the market, it would be worth tens of millions at the very least!
"Hong Yi, I'm heading out; I'm leaving this place to you for the next few days," said Zhang Menglong as he put the small box into his bag and stepped out of his room.
"Mr. Zhang, rest assured, I will take care of everything here. If you encounter any issues in Gusu City, just call the number I gave you,"
"Got it!"
"Get lost!" Zhang Menglong sent a disdainful emoji and focused on driving.
It was just over a hundred kilometers from Jiangnan City to Gusu City. With Zhang Menglong's increasingly skilled driving, it took him less than two hours to reach the urban area of Gusu.
Of course, that's also because no one dared to drive side by side with him, nor dared to change lanes in front of his Koenigsegg CCVR—for even the merest scratch could cost more than just a house to settle.
The car stopped at the entrance of Gusu University, the most prestigious university in Gusu. "Starbucks Double Sweet" had told him that she studied there, currently a master's student in her first year.
"What's the situation? She won't pick up a voice call; something didn't happen, did it?" Zhang Menglong was somewhat worried, but other than MYY Voice, all he had was her WeChat ID. He didn't know her major, which building she lived in, or even what 'Starbucks Double Sweet's real name was until now.
"Glug glug!" Zhang Menglong chugged half a can of Red Bull and put it on the car before starting to frantically make voice calls again.
Such a handsome sports car appearing at the university entrance quickly drew a crowd, with some even whipping out cameras to snap pictures. If it weren't for Zhang Menglong wearing a mask, his identity might have been exposed that day.
"Handsome, are you looking for someone?" Just as Zhang Menglong was at his wits' end, two very fashionably dressed girls came up to him.
Their eyes hadn't left Zhang Menglong's car for the entire time.
"Yeah, looking for someone." Zhang Menglong replied.
"How do we look to you?"
"Ah? How do you look?" Zhang Menglong was utterly confused.
"Handsome, you even have Red Bull in your car, and still you're asking us?" One of the girls suddenly laughed, "Just for your car, we'll both join you for 1000 yuan, you down?"
"You down?" Zhang Menglong was momentarily stunned. He'd always heard that having drinks in the car signified a certain indescribable meaning, but thought it was all just rumors. Could it actually be true?
Realizing this, he couldn't help but smile wryly.
