After five bigwigs in Beijing's elite circle fell into their trap, I fled.

Chapter 114 College Entrance Examination and Career Experience Program
After returning to Jiangcheng from Xinghua Village, Jiang Shu began her intense pre-exam preparations once again.

Those pretentious men, quite tacitly, didn't bring up the companionship contract at this crucial moment, instead devoting the entire night to Yan Yu helping her with her last-minute cramming.

The day before the college entrance examination, Jiang Shu finally put aside her study plan and went to bed early by herself.

Five men sat under an apricot tree, drinking tea and chatting.

Ning Yunzhan glanced at the closed door and asked Yan Yu in a low voice, "Can you estimate the approximate score of our patron?"

Yan Yu paused for a moment: "At first, I was tutoring my sister according to the standards of the top scorer in Jiangcheng's college entrance examination. Later, I found that her way of thinking was rather unique, and she got a little confused when doing those convoluted questions..."

Ning Yunzhan coughed lightly: "So, you've been giving her supplementary treatments for a few months now. What level is she at now?"

Yan Yu felt a little ashamed and gently made a "6" gesture with her fingers.

The men instantly understood...

"Tomorrow, Rong Jingchen and I will accompany her to the exam," Ning Yunzhan began to arrange. "You guys prepare food and supplies for her at home, and provide positive emotional support when necessary..."

"Why aren't we the ones accompanying him to the exam?" Feng Li complained. "How can I be absent from such an important moment in my precious child's life?"

“You’ve been trending on social media.” Ning Yunzhan chuckled. “Li Yubai and Yan Yu have also appeared on live streams. If you go out, you’ll only cause traffic jams. Especially Yan Yu, even if you cover yourself up like a bucket, your die-hard fans will recognize you instantly. So, are you sure that going to the exam hall with your sugar daddy isn’t just causing her trouble?”

Li Yubai poured Ning Yunzhan a cup of tea: "I'll cook some of her favorite dishes tomorrow. As for the exam venue, I'll leave it to you."

Rong Jingchen looked down at his phone, somewhat lost in thought.

"Is there something you need?" Ning Yunzhan was about to discuss the exam support plan with Rong Jingchen when he noticed Rong Jingchen's subtle expression.

“There’s something,” Rong Jingchen paused, “Last time, for that forest feedback plan, didn’t we spend three whole hours squatting by the landline in the village just to make a call? With that terrible network, as soon as I got back, I contacted the relevant Chinese government departments to set up a signal base station, and I offered to cover all the costs. But we were actually rejected.”

“That village does feel very strange.” Ning Yunzhan nodded. “But our top priority right now is to help our benefactor get through the college entrance exam perfectly. We can put everything else aside for now.”

Rong Jingchen thought for a moment: "I heard that many parents will be wearing cheongsams with slits tomorrow."

Ning Yunzhan was unusually flustered for a moment: "You can wear it if you want, but there's no way I'm going to wear it."

"A resounding success," Li Yubai hinted from the side. "If Master Jiang sees this, he'll definitely be happy."

The next morning, Jiang Shu got up early and saw Rong Jingchen and Ning Yunzhan dressed in men's cheongsams in the courtyard.

Rong Jingchen wore a black Chinese-style cheongsam embroidered with the title of the imperial examination. His sharp and cold eyes gave off an aura of unapproachability. However, his diamond-blue icy eyes also carried an indescribable cold charm, making it difficult to look away.

Ning Yunzhan wore a black cheongsam embroidered with the pattern of "Five Sons Passing the Imperial Examination." Her elegant temperament, like that of a jade tree and orchid, was enhanced by the bright black background, giving her a touch of refined charm.

Jiang Shu glanced back and forth between the two of them several times before waving her hand with a refreshed expression: "Let's go, accompany this sugar daddy to conquer the sea of ​​questions and dominate the battlefield!"

Rong Jingchen drove to the examination venue.

Inside the courtyard, Feng Li set up a coal stove under the apricot tree, placed a stew pot on it, and began adding unevenly sized pieces of chicken and mushrooms.

Yan Yu squatted beside the stew pot, carefully sorting the fresh vegetables.

Li Yubai wasn't idle either; he opened a brain-boosting cookbook and was studying it seriously.

"Li Yubai..." Feng Li suddenly asked irritably, "How many spoonfuls of salt should we add to this big pot of soup?"

Li Yubai didn't even look up: "Two spoonfuls, add them after it's cooked. Remember to simmer it over low heat."

On the other side, Yan Yu hesitated as she picked up a vegetable: "Should I keep the leaves or the stem of this radish?"

Li Yubai: "...That's celery."

Then, he closed the book and elegantly rolled up his sleeves: "I'll pick the vegetables, you go wash the shrimp that were just air-freighted in."

Meanwhile, compared to the three stay-at-home men, Rong Jingchen and Ning Yunzhan were much more boisterous!
Jiang Shu's examination venue was Jiangcheng No. 3 Middle School.

It is about five kilometers away from Xinghua Lane.

After dropping Jiang Shu off at the examination hall, Rong Jingchen and Ning Yunzhan, feeling bored, found a flower bed outside the examination hall and sat down to bask in the sun.

Less than ten minutes after the two sat down, they were surrounded by a dense crowd. In addition to some parents who had come to accompany their children to the exam, there was also a group of grandmothers doing square dancing.

"Hey! You two young men are so handsome! Are you married? Who are you here with for your exam today?"

"Look at those parents' garish cheongsams, and then look at these two handsome guys' outfits. Wow, good-looking people can make anything look like it's on a runway!"

"A slit cheongsam is more auspicious if it shows legs! Why are you wearing pants underneath? My goodness! How come your legs are so long!"

"Where do you live, young man? What are your hobbies? Can I add you on WeChat?"

"Look at that face! More exquisite than a big star! May I ask what your family does for a living? What are your requirements for a future girlfriend?"

"..."

Rong Jingchen and Ning Yunzhan exchanged a glance, put on their masks at the same time, and then each made a gesture towards the shadows.

A few seconds later, their bodyguards appeared out of nowhere, expressionless, and parted the crowd to stand beside them...

The noisy world finally gained a brief moment of peace.

When Jiang Shu came out of the examination room, she saw that in the most crowded area, Rong Jingchen and his companion were sitting by a quiet flower bed cleared out by a dozen bodyguards. Three or four meters away, a group of old ladies were asking questions with shining eyes, almost as if they wanted to trace the couple's ancestors back to the eighteenth generation...

Jiang Shu sighed softly, "It was supposed to be my show, but you two stole all the limelight..."

Ning Yunzhan rose gracefully, straightened his cheongsam, and asked in a gentle voice, "How did the exam go?"

Jiang Shu thought for a moment: "My reading and writing are a bit weak, but I can do the dictation. Overall, it's not a big problem."

Rong Jingchen took her exam bag and held out his hand to her: "Let's go home for dinner, we'll continue this afternoon."

When the group returned home, the nutritious and lightly cooked food had just come out of the oven.

Yan Yu set out the bowls and chopsticks, Feng Li served the soup, and Li Yubai brought the dishes to the table.

Jiang Shu looked at this one and then at that one: "Where did I get the luck to stumble upon such thrifty men like you..."

Thus, with the help of a group of good husbands, Jiang Shu passed the college entrance examination without any major incidents.

The college entrance examination is over.

She suddenly relaxed completely.

No more staying up all night to cram for exams, no more going to school, just stay home and wait for your scores, then fill out your school applications.

Suddenly, large swathes of time were left empty.

The third day after the end of the college entrance examination.

Jiang Shu, whose skin was starting to look moldy, made a preliminary assessment with Yan Yu's assistance.

“I feel like I can get over 600.” Jiang Shu’s eyes sparkled. “When I first came from Quanwen Town, my comprehensive test scores were only around 400 each time, and at most I couldn’t get 500.”

"What you mean, sister..." Yan Yu probed, "you're not angry that I didn't let you soar to 750?"

"..." Jiang Shu paused for a moment, "I've never seen a monster with a raw score of 750."

“I am,” Yan Yu chuckled, “but I was admitted through the guaranteed admission route, so my college entrance exam score doesn’t count.”

Jiang Shu took a deep breath: "An ordinary student like me can't compare to a genius like you. I'm already very satisfied with getting over 600!" Next to her, Ning Yunzhan handed over the college application guide: "Well then, my patron can start choosing a major now."

When it comes to filling out college applications, Jiang Shu looks completely lost: "I have absolutely no experience with universities and majors, do you have any advice?"

Li Yubai poured her a glass of juice: "What does your sugar daddy like? Or rather, what career do you want to pursue in the future?"

Jiang Shu thought for a moment: "You guys who make big money—you're all big shots, tell me, which industries are particularly profitable right now?"

The men exchanged glances.

Ning Yunzhan laughed: "I'm making quite a bit of money in the real estate industry right now. Otherwise, why don't I teach you architectural design? Even if you don't have the talent, any apprentice I personally train can easily get a job offer worth tens of millions in the future."

Li Yubai pondered, "Finance is also good. The Li Group's financial network earns so much money each year that it would take ten actuaries three days to summarize it all."

Jiang Shu: "...They're really rich."

Feng Li chuckled noncommittally: "These days, if you want to make quick money, don't you have to enter the entertainment industry? Just like your current puppet live stream, not to mention how much money you make each episode, just the hundreds of millions of views alone can bring you tens of millions in profits."

Rong Jingchen pondered: "The arms business is also a very profitable industry—the Iris family ranks among the top five in the world, but a third of their wealth comes from my arms base."

Yan Yu obediently spoke up: "We live in the technological age now. I can easily write a program or invent a smart brain or optical brain, and it will cause an epoch-making sensation, and the wealth it brings will be immeasurable. Why don't you consider studying computer science, sister?"

Jiang Shu covered her face, her heart pounding with excitement: "I want them all! What should I do?! Can I choose five majors at the same time?"

“Generally speaking, it’s unlikely that a university would offer all five of these majors at the same time,” Ning Yunzhan thought for a moment. “There are still two weeks until the scores are released. Why don’t you try them all first, and then find the one you like best?”

"Try them all?" Jiang Shu's spirits lifted. "How do we try them?"

Ning Yunzhan's lips curled slightly: "For half a month, the five of us will each supervise you for three days. Through these three days of interaction, I think our benefactor will be able to find his true calling."

Jiang Shu let out an interested "Eh?" and said, "That sounds quite interesting..."

Ning Yunzhan nodded and looked at her gently: "Then, for the next three days, you will come with me, and I will take you to the Cloud Headquarters to experience the charm of building a dreamlike building."

Rong Jingchen replied, "Leave the second episode to me. I'll take you into the world of arms research and development."

Yan Yu sighed softly, "I'll set aside a week from now and take my sister to Yanxing Group to experience the technology development process."

Li Yubai looked at her with doting eyes: "I'll take you to the Li Group headquarters to be my temporary assistant."

Feng Li glanced at Jiang Shu listlessly: "Fine, then I'll be last in line. You've already been involved in the live streaming industry, so how about I take you to see the entertainment industry?"

"Speaking of the entertainment industry..." Yan Yu suddenly remembered something, "My drama 'The Banquet of Gods' is missing a female supporting actress, which is why it hasn't started filming yet. Sister, would you like to give it a try?"

Jiang Shu looked bewildered: "Become an actress?"

Yan Yu paused for a moment: "It's just a cameo role, and this supporting actress only has one scene. Her salary has already risen to 50 million."

Jiang Shu took a deep breath: "So much?"

Yan Yu nodded: "Want to give it a try?"

"What if I don't act well..."

"Even if you don't act well, you'll still get paid."

Jiang Shu's heart skipped a beat: "Then after I've tried the others, I'll give it a try?"

Ning Yunzhan stood up: "Now that the discussion is over, Mr. Sugar Daddy, please pack your bags. I will arrange a private jet to fly directly to the Cloud Capital Group in the capital."

Jiang Shu was taken aback: "So fast?"

"Time is tight." Ning Yunzhan blinked. "The time our benefactor has allocated to each of us is limited."

Jiang Shu immediately ran into the house and began packing her things.

Li Yubai suggested, "Fengshen Group, Li Group, and Yanxing Group are all in the capital. Let's go there together and take over our sugar daddy as soon as the experience on the cloud is over."

Rong Jingchen lowered his gaze slightly: "I need to report to China first."

He got up, walked to a secluded spot, picked up his phone, and made a video call.

After a few seconds.

On the other end, Nie Zheng's voice rang out: "What is it?"

"I'm going to stay in the capital for a while."

"When are you going? When are you leaving?"

"Let's go today." Rong Jingchen did some calculations and tentatively asked, "Could I buy a house in the capital and settle down there?"

"..." Nie Zheng paused for a few seconds, "There have been traces of roving criminals in the South China Sea Islands recently, there are several missing persons cases in the southwestern Sichuan region, and there has been unexplained seawater pollution in the shallow waters of the North Sea that needs to be investigated carefully..."

Rong Jingchen's face darkened: "I'm busy. I have important business in the capital."

Nie Zheng remained calm: "Last time you went to Fuyun Island without reporting it, and I haven't even looked for you yet. Remember to submit a written self-criticism. Also, besides the places I just mentioned, there are several major cases in the Ningcheng mountain area..."

Rong Jingchen said slowly and deliberately, "I'll give you another billion US dollars to go to the capital."

There was a full half-minute of silence on the other end.

Nie Zheng: "...No need to buy a house. I'll just give you a large bungalow in Beijing. Do you need me to arrange a flight to Beijing for you?"

Rong Jingchen took a deep breath: "Those missions just now..."

“I will arrange for someone else to go,” Nie Zheng reminded him. “You know our department’s official bank account; I need to see one billion US dollars deposited into it before we arrive in Beijing.”

On the other side, after Jiang Shu, Li Yubai and Ning Yunzhan also went to prepare for their departure.

Yan Yu, carrying his guitar, was about to go inside when Feng Li stopped him: "Hey Yan, this is my own turf. How come I didn't know your white moonlight female supporting role paid fifty million?"

Yan Yu lowered her eyelids and smiled, "Oh, maybe I remembered wrong."

Feng Li's peach blossom eyes flashed coldly: "Do I need to tell my darling that this role not only doesn't come with a salary, but also requires me to pay tens of millions out of my own pocket?"

Yan Yu looked up at him, a hint of provocation in her eyes: "Would you? Would you be willing to... spoil her fun, hmm?"

Feng Li met his gaze with a deep look: "It depends on my mood."

Inside, Jiang Shu pushed open the window and leaned out, waving to the two of them and Rong Jingchen, who was radiating restlessness further away: "What are you all standing there for? Pack your things and get ready to leave!"

An hour later, several luxury private jets took off from Jiangcheng one after another.

Heading straight for the capital...

At 6:16 PM Beijing time on June 11th.

Cloud Group.

The Chairman's Secretariat urgently issued an internal notice:

"The chairman will return to Yunduan Group in one hour. All departments, please prepare to welcome him!"
