Chapter 15 Simulated Courses for University Students (Part Four)
It wasn't Lu Ze's birthday, but he understood his roommates' thoughts: getting over this hurdle would be Lu Ze's birthday of rebirth.

My heart is warmed, so warm it's burning. Men don't talk about their feelings, and they don't often use the word "brother," but what they do is enough to warm your heart and be remembered for a lifetime.

Lu Ze forced himself to wash up despite his dizziness, then went out to wire money to his sister. He thought that forgetting about it would have been better to hang himself.

Today was the first time he had skipped class. He slept until noon, and after lunch, Lu Ze picked up his books again and tried even harder than before to absorb all the knowledge he didn't know.

As for the final exams coming up in three days? That's nothing! While ordinary students are groaning and studying hard, Lu Ze is no ordinary student; he's a student who doesn't care about his life.

After this experience, he realized that while love may be gone, family is the most important thing. He must ensure his family lives a good life; only then can he be considered a man.

He squeezed his sleep time again, studying until midnight every day, and then got up at five in the morning to work in the cafeteria. Even while steaming egg custard, he would memorize one or two knowledge points.

He found a set of Level 2 Construction Engineer exam papers from a few years ago online, tried answering them himself, and easily got a high score.

He, a freshman in college, can now pass the architect's certificate exam, a test that usually requires two years of work experience after graduating from university. This is the result of his hard work.

After the final exams were over, Lu Ze was called to the office by his homeroom teacher, who gave him an opportunity—a chance to make money.

As the most outstanding student she had ever taught, a freshman's design drawings had already been sent to the department head's desk and then displayed in the school corridors.

This set of design drawings impressed many teachers. It's not that Lu Ze is now better than his teachers, but rather that his creativity is always accompanied by the latest materials and products, keeping him at the forefront of the domestic interior design trend.

As for the teachers, some haven't been to a building materials market in a long time. That's how interior decoration is; it's updated just as quickly as electronic devices. Perhaps soon, your proudest work will already be outdated.

Lu Ze earned a lot of face for the homeroom teacher, and the homeroom teacher was also well aware of Lu Ze's family background. Therefore, Lu Ze was introduced to work at a decoration company owned by the teacher's classmate, which was not small in the capital.

Lu Ze called home to tell them he wouldn't be going home for summer vacation, then packed a few changes of clothes and went to his company to report for duty.

He lived in a dormitory provided by the company for telemarketing, and ate steamed buns and pickled vegetables. And so, on the first day of his vacation, he started working.

His basic monthly salary was 1,500 yuan. Because he had no work experience, this was the price offered by the boss, but Lu Ze accepted it because he wasn't earning a fixed salary.

He got his own computer in the company and then produced design drafts for small orders for the designers. If the drafts passed, he would get 500 yuan per set.

On the thirteenth day, he earned a thousand for a set of design drawings.

A month later, he started taking medium-sized orders, at least 100 square meters or more, at 2,500 yuan per unit.

Then, because some designers resigned and there were simply not enough people to handle the workload, the manager asked him to take on his first villa project, regardless of whether it was approved or not, for a price of eight thousand per villa.

A month and a half later, the boss asked him if he was interested in becoming a full-time employee there and working with him. He took Lu Ze with him and they calculated the price per square meter for the design drawings!
But Lu Ze refused because his family cared too much about his graduation certificate. They only had one college graduate in their Lu family, and if he were to drop out of school and start working now, Lu Weiguo would be furious.

Two months later, under the boss's regretful gaze, Lu Ze packed his things and left the company, taking with him the more than 30,000 yuan he had earned during the holiday, as well as the contact information of a group of designers.

In the future, when designers are too busy, they will hand over the orders to Lu Ze. Lu Ze will give them a cut, which is equivalent to sitting and making money for free, so the designers are naturally happy to do so.

This meant Lu Ze earned less per order, but the volume was large and he was well-fed. As long as he was willing to work hard, he wouldn't earn less than when he was employed. His luck had turned around!

With the money in hand, Lu Ze went to Gome and bought his sister a cell phone worth over 7,000 yuan, and then bought himself a desktop computer worth nearly 20,000 yuan.

So he only had less than 8,000 yuan left. When he started his second year of university, he still had to pay tuition, accommodation fees, and other miscellaneous expenses, leaving him with just over 2,000 yuan.

He bought Lu Weiguo a foot bath basin and Li Yumei a set of cosmetics. He only had five hundred yuan left, and he was penniless again.

But everything is getting better, isn't it?
After the start of the semester, Lu Ze's three roommates noticed that he had undergone another huge change. His demeanor had become particularly calm and composed. He didn't look like a student at all, but rather like a businessman with a more sophisticated air than a white-collar worker.

He just became a shut-in. He quit his job at the cafeteria, and apart from attending classes—no, he skipped many classes—he buried himself in his dorm room, either reading and studying or drawing on his computer.

Even at two or three in the morning, when they occasionally wake up, they can hear the sound of the computer accelerating its cooling process while rendering images.

Then, half a month later, Lu Ze changed again. He bought a few more high-end clothes, not sportswear, but the kind of mature style.

But when he put it on, it didn't look out of place at all; he looked like a mature man with a full beard, slicked-back hair, wearing a shirt, trousers, leather shoes, and a steel-chain wristwatch.

However, this did not affect their relationship. On the contrary, the group, who had been at odds because of their shared interests, returned to the friendship they had when they first enrolled in university. Whenever Lu Ze took a break, the dormitory was as lively as Iraq, and the roof could be blown open.

Just then, because Lu Ze had changed so much, the girls in his class, and even those in the next class, began to focus their attention on him—this man with a very masculine and handsome demeanor.

Some added Lu Ze's contact information and chatted with him aimlessly, but Lu Ze's reply frequency of once every one or two hours quickly wore down their patience.

Some bold girls even came to class to confess their feelings to Lu Ze, but Lu Ze's response was speechless, and some sour grapes-like boys couldn't help but say, "Show-off!"

Because Lu Ze said, "I'm too busy with work to date. If I were to date, I might neglect you, so it's better not to. Thank you."

The boys immediately berated Lu Ze for his pretentious behavior: "What kind of job do you have? A job? Is your job just staying in your dorm playing computer games? You're such a show-off! If you like playing games but don't like girls, just say so!"

Only Lu Ze's roommates knew that Lu Ze had never told a lie. He was really too busy with work. How could someone who works on renderings until the early hours of the morning not be busy?

She was so busy that she was embarrassed to ask Lu Ze for help with her homework! She even had to pay someone else to draw it for her! Is this the kind of thing a roommate of a genius should do?!

However, after that, all the girls who had come to pursue Lu Ze disappeared without a trace, and not a single one could be seen again.

As for the family, Lu Ze would send at least 15,000 yuan every month, which greatly eased their financial situation. After working for a year, Lu Nan found a high school to attend, which also removed the thorn in Lu Ze's heart.

Lu Ze had seen that girl several times before. From being a couple with her boyfriend to being alone, and then getting back together with her roommate, her romantic experiences didn't seem to be smooth sailing.

Until the day when half of the first semester of my sophomore year had passed.
