People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 394 A Lifetime

"Ah Guang, your dream is a bit abstract and bizarre."

"But I've been having some strange dreams lately. In them, lots of people are piloting mechs, flying and diving, it's so cool! But they won't let me pilot one, saying I don't have the talent. How annoying!"

Sun Guang responded and complained about his dream.

"Your dream is so much more enjoyable, with all that old-fashioned cultivation-themed male protagonist stuff. My dream is all about the tragic protagonist script, it's too pitiful..."

"Compared to all of these, Aqi, don't you think Ling Fuyao, the fairy, has become more and more beautiful lately? No wonder she's our school's beauty queen. Coming to Mingcheng to study was definitely the right decision!"

"Moreover, it is said that when Fairy Ling was sixteen years old, she started investing on her own, and now her assets are probably two billion. She is definitely a model of a winner in life. If only I could live off Fairy Ling!"

Sun Guang has a very quick mind and can always easily steer the conversation towards beautiful women.

As for Ling Fuyao, she is five years older than the two of them and is currently pursuing a master's degree at the university, and will be graduating soon.

The school they attended had only average programs, like their mechanical engineering major. The only exceptional program was finance, though the admission requirements were extremely high.

In fact, if they had connections, they could start with a regular major and then switch majors, but that's not something the two of them could handle.

Sun Guang's family was capable of doing it, but Sun Guang felt it was unnecessary; he knew his own limitations.

“Ling Fuyao…”

Upon hearing this name, Li Qi was momentarily dazed, and fragments of a dream surfaced in his mind.

In his dream, he was the high and mighty president of the military academy, and even Shen Yue was his henchman. At that time in Tiannan Phoenix Terrace, everyone else stood like lackeys in front of him...

Even Ling Fuyao appeared later and offered to invest in him, offering 2 billion yuan right off the bat, but he was too proud and arrogant to care.

All I can say is that dreams are a bit too fantastical.

He was someone who dreamed of living off a woman, and he believed that if he could actually do so, he would definitely waver.

He knows himself very well.

In reality, Tiannan Middle School doesn't have a combat club, only a kendo club that was established later. Tiannan does have a Phoenix Terrace, but it's just a barren mountain that no one has developed; it's only nice-sounding...

A dream is just a dream.

"Qi, what if we graduate and get into Ling Xianzi's company? Wouldn't that be amazing?"

"With our alumni status, we have a head start!"

Sun Guang suddenly became serious again.

"Ah Guang, didn't you say something similar back in high school?!"

"Why do you always think about being a freeloader? Haven't you ever thought about taking your place?!"

"A person must have dreams!" Li Qi retorted.

"It's not that I don't have dreams, but the gap between dreams and reality is too big. Like my dream life, which is to meet a wonderful girl and have a sweet romance, but what about reality..."

"The reality is, good girls aren't exactly commonplace. They're all snapped up back in high school. The really amazing ones are so high and mighty, we can't even reach them. As for the girls around us, they're like goddesses. Believe it or not, even if you dare to date them, even if you take them seriously, if you do anything that doesn't meet their expectations, they'll turn their backs on you and hang you on the wall..."

Sun Guang showed no weakness.

Li Qi thought about it and realized that it made sense, so he was convinced on the spot.

Four years passed in the blink of an eye. Li Qi's grades were average, and he wasn't focused on his studies, so he couldn't pursue further education. However, Ling Fuyao happened to be recruiting at the school, and Li Qi, with a try-it-out mentality, submitted his resume during the campus recruitment and surprisingly passed the interview.

A casual remark I once made with Sun Guang has ironically come true.

However, after graduating, Sun Guang joined his family's company, honing his skills while inheriting the family business.

Undoubtedly, these two best friends who grew up together have reached the biggest fork in the road of human destiny.

Actually, when they graduated, Sun Guang had mentioned to Li Qi that he wanted Li Qi to join his family's company. He said that if they worked together, they would be invincible and would surely achieve great things in the future.

Li Qi was well aware of his own abilities and did not want the friendship to become tainted or the purity of the relationship to be compromised. He undoubtedly believed that feelings were more important than money.

He has very low material desires and knows that money is just a number, while friendship is priceless.

Sun Guang was certainly disappointed, but he understood Li Qi's thoughts. He just thought to himself that if Li Qi ever ended up sleeping on the streets, it would be his turn to step in and save him like a hero...

However, although Li Qi joined Ling Fuyao's company, in reality, the other party, as the big boss, was extremely busy. Although the two were alumni, there were too many alumni in this company, and it was impossible for him to have any interaction with Ling Fuyao because of this.

Fortunately, Li Qi had no delusions in his heart. He simply wanted to find a place to stay and didn't even intend to stay here for long. He just planned to use it as a temporary measure.

However, the development of many things in reality is quite bizarre. Six months after Li Qi joined the company, a major upheaval occurred inexplicably, and many senior executives were imprisoned for corruption. Li Qi, the newcomer, suddenly became a "veteran" of the company.

Of course, these nominal veterans were of no value, but Ling Fuyao took over part of the business of Yinqi Venture Capital at this time and directly merged this clean team into the head office.

This is like getting into an ordinary school, but then the school works hard and upgrades to a prestigious one, resulting in an easy win for the student.

As for the logic behind this, Li Qi had guessed a bit about it. It was nothing more than needing some of his own people to complete the transition of power so that Fuyao could take control of the venture capital firm.

He was indeed a bit lucky; he won without even trying.

After all, it's a venture capital firm, one of the top ten in Mingyu, with incredibly high prestige. Under normal circumstances, even if someone with his qualifications barely got in, he'd only be relegated to a benchwarmer...

As time passed and circumstances changed, Li Qi did not strive frantically, but simply followed the established path. However, inexplicably, he entered Ling Fuyao's core team. Although he had little say in the team and was on the periphery of the core team, it still seemed strange to many people.

At the same time, Li Qi also discovered that Ling Fuyao liked to order him around for no reason, making him run around in the name of honing his professional skills.

Li Qi didn't really like being busy, but he was given too much. However, in his spare time, Li Qi couldn't help but ponder what the purpose of life was.
