Chapter 84 Emperor Ruyan, Yang Huimin
On March 4th, Chen Shixuan went to Shancheng in her aunt's car, and then flew from Shancheng to Kyoto.

That night in the dance studio, the two turned off the lights and talked about life for half an hour, covering almost everything except what they couldn't talk about.

The preliminary exam for the Beijing Dance Academy is conducted online via video, while the second and final exams require candidates to go to the school in person.

Chen Shixuan submitted her preliminary video interview in February and passed it smoothly. The second and final interviews are not expected to be completed until early April.

Jiang Xun wasn't too worried about her since her biological mother was in Beijing, but she still transferred 20,000 yuan to her.

Although her biological father would definitely prepare all the expenses for her, Jiang Xun naturally couldn't skimp on the amount either, since she had called him "Dad" quite a bit that night.

……

On March 7th and 8th, Yinxian No.3 Middle School held its first monthly exam after the provincial joint exam.

As expected, Jiang Xun once again topped the list, scoring nearly 50 points ahead of second-place Yu Sheng, achieving a terrifyingly high score of 721.

Looking at his score of 672, Yu Sheng felt an indescribable sense of despair.

He had exhausted all his potential, but he never expected that the gap between him and Jiang Xun would widen so much.

He thought he was a chosen one, but he never expected that his talent was just the threshold to becoming a chosen one.

In fact, Yu Sheng's score was already a league-leading achievement at No. 1 High School. If it weren't for Jiang Xun's unexpected success, he would undoubtedly be number one.

Even Yang Kaiyi, who came in third, only scored 633 points.

At first, Yu Sheng couldn't understand it, but after his homeroom teacher Qian Kang gave him some guidance, he finally came to terms with it.

In Qian Kang's words:

'Who is Jiang Xun? Can he even be considered human? He's a monster who gets first place in the provincial joint exam. What are you comparing yourself to him for?'

"In a small county like ours, we might not produce a provincial champion even once in a hundred years. The difference between the county's top scorer and the provincial top scorer in the college entrance exam is at least several tens of points; there's no comparison."

In fact, Qian Kang had come to terms with it. He used to be puzzled as to why a carefree student like Jiang Xun could get first place and enjoy all sorts of privileges.

But now he understands that true geniuses are indeed unconventional. If Jiang Xun were as well-behaved as Yu Sheng, he would probably only be a county-level top scholar at best.

The fact that Yinxian No. 1 Middle School produced a provincial top scorer during his tenure as director of studies is not only something he can boast about for a lifetime, but also a valuable asset.

……

Jiang Xun has absolutely no interest in the school's monthly exams now; he spends most of his time studying university-level material.

I was thinking of spending a year or two in college taking multiple elective courses to earn enough credits to graduate early.

After graduation, of course I'll do what I want to do. First, I'll achieve complete financial freedom, and then...

Just as Mr. Ji wrote in his diary, he spent several days... communicating with several beautiful women from different regions.

However, he is now starting to make some investments, such as the Koukou Fresh Lamb Rice Noodles.

This noodle shop had made a name for itself in its previous life, opening branches in the city and several neighboring counties, but unfortunately it couldn't expand beyond Chicheng.

In this life, he plans to open this store all over Guizhou Province. As for outside the province, that's up to fate.

He was already quite familiar with the owner of that company and knew that they wanted to expand their business, but they were struggling to find the funds.

So he invested 30 yuan to renovate the old store and open the first branch, and he directly held a 49% stake.

It's 49% of the total, not just from one store. In other words, the owner now receives nearly half of the revenue from both stores, and he doesn't need to put in any effort.

If more branches are to be opened in the future, he will continue to invest proportionally, and his shareholding will remain unchanged.

Besides, the only bar in the county is for sale, and since it's Saturday, he decided to go take a look and buy it if it's suitable.

Opening a bar in a small county town doesn't really make much money, and Jiang Xun wasn't doing it for the money; his main purpose was to make friends.

In my previous life, there was only one large bar in the county town, but it changed owners several times. This small place couldn't afford to open a second one.

This bar, named 'Crown', is located underground in the middle of the most bustling section of Minzu Road. The shops in that area alone would have been worth 11,000 yuan per square meter in later years.

Chen Yi and others from the Armed Forces Department happened to be off today, so Jiang Xun simply invited them to go to a bar to play billiards and have a late-night snack and a couple of drinks.

Chen Yi and his colleagues rarely have the opportunity to drink alcohol, but these few days are a day off, so they can drink in moderation, although they need to report it to the authorities first.

Around 7 p.m., Jiang Xun, dressed in simple work pants and a jacket, went out and took a taxi to the bar.

Chen Yi and the others had not yet arrived, so Jiang Xun simply went in alone to wait.

At this time, there were only a few customers in the bar, scattered in the corners.

However, one booth was occupied by about six or seven people, all of them young, most of them with non-mainstream hair colors, looking like a bunch of hooligans.

They naturally saw Jiang Xun enter the bar. One of the tall, burly young men frowned and whispered:
"What is he doing here?"

"Who?" A pretty girl dressed up and leaning against him asked instinctively.

The other group of people followed the young man's gaze, and some of them seemed to recognize Jiang Xun's identity.

"Brother Tiger, that kid isn't..."

“Let’s go take a look.” This burly young man was none other than Pang Hu. He stood up and took the lead in walking towards Jiang Xun’s location.

As they approached Jiang Xun's booth, Pang Hu whispered to the people behind him, "Don't say anything out of line, just watch."

Jiang Xun noticed Pang Hu and the others approaching and was somewhat surprised, not expecting to run into them here.

Judging from the way this group of people were acting, they didn't seem like they were looking for trouble, so he didn't get up from his seat.

Even if they were looking for trouble, with his current skills and physique, he didn't really take them seriously.

Meanwhile, in another very secluded corner, a long-legged beauty in a black trench coat and stockings suddenly stood up and looked in their direction.

"What's wrong?" The other woman sitting opposite her looked at her with some confusion.

"It's nothing, just a student from my class. I'll go check on her." The woman was none other than Yang Huimin.

At this moment, her long, black hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, and beneath her long trench coat, a black strapless top accentuated her large, firm breasts.

Her black-stockinged legs gleamed softly under the bar lights, and her alluring peach blossom eyes sparkled with captivating charm, a stark contrast to her appearance at school.

To describe it using a term from later generations, it would be like the Emperor Ruyan, terrifying beyond measure.
