The younger generation, starting from where the wind blows...

Chapter 288 This person is my dearest friend, my brother!
Shanghai Railway Station.

Fang Sijin had just bought her train ticket when her mother, Pan Guiyu, snatched it away.

"Alright, you can go back now. I know how to get back by myself."

Seeing Pan Guiyu's impatient expression, Fang Sijin's words of farewell stuck in her throat.

In the end, she chose to silently turn around and leave.

"Four wells!"

Suddenly, Pan Guiyu's shout came from behind.

Fang Sijin turned around expectantly, thinking that her mother was going to say goodbye.

result--

“Your brother is about to start middle school. You know our family situation. It wasn’t easy for your father and me to raise you four girls, especially you. We should have let you finish middle school and start working like your older sisters. I told you not to go to university, but you wouldn’t listen!”

"Since you've signed a contract with that boss, you absolutely have to pass the exam next year, no matter what, and get that 100,000 yuan. Otherwise, see what I'll do to you!"

Fang Sijin didn't hear a word of what Pan Guiyu said afterward.

In her mother's eyes, she was nothing more than a beast of burden who deserved to earn money for the family.

Don't even mention treating her like a daughter.

They didn't even consider themselves human.

Pan Guiyu was still rambling on when Fang Sijin coldly interrupted her:
"Okay, I get it."

When Fang Sijin receives the money from the college entrance examination next year, she will send every penny of the 100,000 yuan home.

Consider this money as your "redemption money".

From then on, apart from her grandfather, Fang Sijin had no further connection with that family.

Watching Fang Sijin's resolute departure, Pan Guiyu really wanted to rush up and teach this disobedient daughter a lesson.

For the sake of the 100,000 yuan that he hadn't yet received, Pan Guiyu finally gave up the idea.

I never knew that taking the college entrance exam could be so lucrative.

Ten thousand yuan, how long would you have to work outside to earn that?

Unfortunately, you can only earn this money once.

If we can earn that money repeatedly, and let the fourth son take the college entrance exam a few more times, the family's livelihood for the rest of their lives will be secured.

Pan Guiyu thought to himself.

-

Meanwhile, Yang Muyi and Hu Yifei, who had already returned to Love Apartment, were discussing this matter in the living room of room 3602.

Anyway, Hu Yifei felt that today's events were really "magical".

She had already prepared herself to deal with Pan Guiyu's unreasonable demands and even to escalate the matter to the school.

Who would have thought that Yang Muyi would casually mention a 100,000 yuan bonus, and Pan Guiyu would immediately become "understanding".

Instead of insisting on taking Fang Sijin back to her hometown, he strongly supports his daughter staying at Dongda University to prepare for next year's college entrance examination.

Yang Muye joked with Hu Yifei that it was because Pan Guiyu had never known that the college entrance examination could be a way to make money.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been as simple as tearing up the admission notice and preventing Fang Sijin from going to university.

Pan Guiyu will definitely force Fang Sijin to keep taking the college entrance examination and become the family's money-making tool.

Reminded by Yang Muye, Hu Yifei suddenly realized what was happening.

What if Pan Guiyu finds out about this next year and keeps Fang Sijin under house arrest, preventing her from going to university?
"That's why I insisted on letting Fang Sijin continue to work and study in the Dongda cafeteria. This is not only for the advertising effect of the live broadcast, but more importantly, if the same thing happens again, Dongda will have a sufficient reason to intervene."

Seeing that Hu Yifei still didn't understand, Yang Muye explained further:

"Once Fang Sijin starts a live stream, the first thing she will definitely do is explain why she was admitted to Dongda University but ultimately failed to enroll."

If this matter were to escalate online, it would actually be very detrimental to Dongda University in terms of public opinion.

"Although Dongda strictly follows the regulations of the higher authorities, as I said before, people online tend to sympathize with the weak. People's sympathy for Fang Sijin can easily turn into dissatisfaction and criticism of Dongda, such as being inhumane and rigid."

"The fact that Fang Sijin stayed at the Dongda cafeteria to work and study gives Dongda more room for interpretation."

On the one hand, schools must strictly enforce the regulations.

On the other hand, special arrangements were made to demonstrate "warmth" and "humanistic care".

It is reasonable and justifiable, so naturally there is no fear of rumors and controversies.

If Fang Sijin can get into Dongda University again, that would be the best admission prospectus for Dongda University.

In this situation, if Pan Guiyu prevents Fang Sijin from enrolling again, the university will have ample reason to intervene.

Once the authorities get serious, Pan Guiyu's unreasonable and sophistry-like approach as a village woman will no longer be effective.

"high!"

After listening, Hu Yifei gave Yang Muye a thumbs up in complete admiration.

This time, Yang Muye is definitely in the atmosphere.

The discussion about Fang Sijin had just ended.

"Ding dong!"

The doorbell rang suddenly.

Hu Yifei happened to be heading back to apartment 3601 next door, so she went over to open the door.

When the door opened, both the person inside and the person outside were stunned.

Fan Jingang quickly glanced at the sign above the door.

It's 3602, right?

"What are you looking for—"

Hu Yifei's mind flashed through the two "backup options," Zeng Xiaoxian and Wang Tiezhu, before she crossed them off.

"Excuse me, does Mr. Yang Muyi live here?"

Fan Jingang spoke cautiously.

Polite yet graceful.

"Yes, yes, he is."

Hu Yifei pointed behind her: "I live next door, I just came over for a visit, and I'm heading back now."

Fan Jingang suddenly realized what was happening and quickly stepped aside.

At the same time, Hu Yifei stepped aside to let Fan Jingang into the house.

The two politely declined each other's entry at the door, and in the end, Hu Yifei went out first, followed by Fan Jingang.

"Secretary Fan, what brings you here today?"

Yang Muye took a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator and handed it over.

Fan Jingang accepted the invitation with both hands: "President Ye sent me to invite President Yang for afternoon tea."

Yang Muyi asked in surprise, "President Ye, you have so much free time?"

Fan Jingang hurriedly explained that this "General Manager Ye" was not Ye Jinyan, but rather Ye Jinyan's... distant nephew.

Ye Luming.

"Mr. Ye has just returned from studying abroad and started his own company. He heard about Mr. Yang's reputation from the chairman and admires him greatly. He would like to arrange a meeting with Mr. Yang."

The meeting time will be set by Yang Muye, and it doesn't necessarily have to be today.

Fan Jingang made this special trip because he was afraid Yang Muye wouldn't give him face.

This is also Ye Jinyan's intention.

Look at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face.

“Okay, I happen to be free this afternoon.”

Yang Muye nodded.

It wasn't just because of Ye Jinyan's influence; part of the reason was that the name Ye Luming sounded very familiar.

It might be someone you knew in a past life.

Fan Jingang was overjoyed and immediately took out his phone to call Ye Luming to share the good news.

Ye Luming was quite surprised that Yang Muye agreed to meet so readily.

Since Yang Muye had been so accommodating, he couldn't be negligent and immediately decided to hold afternoon tea at the renowned Peace Hotel in Shanghai. On the way, Fan Jingang couldn't resist his gossipy nature and revealed quite a bit of information about Ye Luming to Yang Muye.

Although Ye Luming calls Ye Jinyan "Third Uncle", the two families are actually more than five degrees of kinship.

When Ye Jinyan started his business in his early years, he received help and support from Ye Luming's family and owed them a favor.

Ye Luming is a typical rich kid. He went abroad to study in high school and stayed there for almost ten years.

This time, instead of accepting his family's arrangements, he chose to start his own business, opening an advertising company.

It's not that the children of wealthy families can't start their own businesses, but what's most worrying is that they'll mess around in areas where their families can't "take care" of them.

Ye Luming was very pragmatic in this regard and chose the advertising industry.

Thanks to family connections and the backing of the Jingyan Group, business is never a problem.

Fan Jingang's words implied that he hoped Yang Muye would persuade Ye Luming.

Just focus on running your current advertising company well, and stop thinking about venturing into other industries.

Seeing the amused look on Yang Muye's face, Fan Jingang knew that his little scheme had been seen through, so he simply admitted it.

Ye Luming's views were all his own initiative, not at Ye Jinyan's behest.

However, Fan Jingang felt that he did this entirely for Ye Luming's good.

This was also for the sake of Ye Jinyan's reputation.

After all, not just any rich second-generation entrepreneur can have the vision and luck of Yang Muyi.

Before meeting Ye Luming, Yang Muye did not rush to agree to Fan Jingang's request.

Fan Jingang escorted Yang Muye to the Peace Hotel, but did not go in himself.

Yang Muye took the elevator to the ninth floor of Huamao Pavilion, gave Ye Luming's name, and was led by a restaurant waiter to a private terrace.

“Look at the camera!”

A young man in a suit stood at the entrance to the terrace, holding a Leica camera in his hand.

A pretty girl in a floral sundress leans against the edge of the terrace, posing for the camera.

Just across the river behind it lies the skyscraper-filled Lujiazui area, as well as the iconic Oriental Pearl Tower of Shanghai.

It has to be said, this background is truly unbeatable.

"Crack!"

The flashing light came on.

The pretty girl struck several poses in a row, and the man in the suit kept changing angles while taking photos.

This scene reminded Yang Muyi of those internet celebrities from his past life who would sneak into high-end hotels and restaurants to take photos and check in.

"Okay, are these photos okay now?"

The man in the suit handed the camera to the girl, then turned around and noticed Yang Muye standing at the entrance to the terrace.

Their eyes met, and both of them froze in surprise.

Yang Muye stared at the "rich guy's face" that exuded nobility in front of him.

—How could it be him?
"Mr. Yang, I'm sorry, I was so busy taking pictures of my friend that I didn't notice you."

Ye Luming apologized as he offered his hand.

After shaking hands, Ye Luming invited Yang Muye to the terrace, and they sat down together at the dining table.

The pretty girl with the camera immediately sat down next to Ye Luming, practically hanging half her body on this rich guy.

Ye Luming looked slightly embarrassed, but he did not stop the pretty girl's behavior.

Upon seeing this, Yang Muye immediately understood.

This must be the canary that the rich guy keeps.

It's normal for pets to be a little clingy.

"Mr. Yang, this is my girlfriend, Amy."

Ye Luming took the initiative to introduce himself.

The term "girlfriend" made Amy overjoyed, and she pressed herself even closer to Ye Luming.

If Yang Muye hadn't been sitting across from them watching, the two of them would probably be embracing and kissing passionately right now.

Upon seeing this scene, Yang Muyi's opinion of Amy plummeted even further.

A classic case of big breasts and no brains.

The key issue is that her breasts aren't big, and only her face is passable.

With makeup on, she could barely get an 80 out of 100.

But I really don't have much of a brain.

The rich guy believed him as soon as he mentioned having a girlfriend.

Do you really think that rich guys only have you as their girlfriend?

Ye Luming looked at Amy, who was pressed close to him, with a gaze that was "deeply affectionate and doting".

"Amy is a freshman majoring in architecture at Tongji University. Today marks exactly one month since we met."

At first glance, it sounds like they're showing off their love and showering each other with affection.

But such words can only fool a brainless pretty face like Amy.

In reality, this means that he just got the girl and the novelty hadn't worn off yet.

Life at a prestigious university is wonderful!
"Tongji University's architecture program?"

Yang Muye looked somewhat surprised.

Jiang Nansun?
“We have three classes in architecture, and our class specializes in interior design,” Amy introduced herself.

Yang Muye nodded.

It seems he's not in the same class as Jiang Nansun.

At this moment, Ye Luming suddenly spoke.

"What, does Mr. Yang have connections in the architecture department at Tongji University?"

Yang Muye was about to deny it—

Ye Luming suddenly slapped his forehead, his tone somewhat annoyed:

"Look at my memory, my third uncle just mentioned the library project in Yunmiao Village to me a couple of days ago. When you went to inspect it, Mr. Yang, there were professors and students from the Department of Architecture at Tongji University with you."

Upon hearing that there were teachers and classmates from her department present, Amy immediately became interested and kept pestering Ye Luming with questions:

"Which professor is going? I might even have taken their class."

"Professor Dong from your department."

Amy's eyes lit up.

"Professor Dong? He is the most famous teacher in our department, a leading figure in the industry. At least eight or nine out of ten students in our architecture department take the entrance exam for Professor Dong's graduate program."

It's just too difficult to pass the exam.

Amy's ability to get into Tongji University's architecture program was already an exceptional achievement, let alone getting into Professor Dong's graduate program.

In this respect, Amy is quite self-aware.

Besides, no matter how promising Professor Dong's graduate students are, they can't compare to those who have hooked up with a rich guy like Ye Luming.

Yang Muye did not mention Jiang Nansun's name, only saying that he had indeed met several architecture students during his last inspection trip.

Ye Luming then extended an invitation: "Saturday is Amy's nineteenth birthday. I've invited many classmates to the birthday party. There might be some of Mr. Yang's acquaintances there. Why don't you do me the honor of joining in the fun, Mr. Yang?"

Yang Muye originally intended to refuse, but before he could finish speaking, he suddenly changed his mind.

"Are there any beauties?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Luming's eyes lit up immediately.

This is someone who shares the same interests!
He booked a five-star hotel and threw a lavish birthday party for Amy, but his purpose was not just to make his "girlfriend" happy.

I also wanted to see if there were any better candidates among Amy's classmates.

Rich guys can pick up as many girls as possible!
Ye Luming was just wondering how to trick Amy into inviting all the beauties from his department over, and Yang Muye's words were exactly what he wanted to hear:

“Amy, Mr. Yang and I are closer than even the closest of friends and family. Whether he will do me the honor of attending the birthday party depends on whether the classmates you invite are influential enough.”
