You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

Liu Wei's words were tactful and well-spoken.

On the surface, it was a response to Jiang Che's question, but in reality, it was a way to give Jiang Che a public "education".

The meaning couldn't be clearer—

Jiang Che, do you think that my intention to break you and Su Qinghe up and to push Liu Mengyao to your side was malicious?

wrong.

I was trying to help you from a higher position, but you, standing at a lower position, had a narrow perspective and mistook my "good intentions" for "malice."

The more than 3,000 freshmen in the audience did not understand the implied meaning. Instead, they felt that this senior Liu spoke with sophistication and vision.

"Holy crap, this senior Liu is really charismatic when he talks."

"Yeah, that handsome junior's question was a bit extreme. There aren't that many black-and-white things in society."

"As expected of someone who has run a business, Senior Liu has a truly impressive perspective."

Discussions arose from all directions.

Jiang Che held the microphone, his gaze calmly fixed on Liu Wei on the stage.

Their eyes met in mid-air, and both understood the true meaning of their conversation.

I haven't seen Liu Wei, that old schemer, for half a year, but his acting skills have become even more superb.

They package their dirty scheming as "mentoring the younger generation" and their shameless belittling as "a perspective from a higher vantage point."

It's unbelievable that he could say such things.

A moment later, Jiang Che raised the microphone again.

"Thank you for your answer, Senior Liu."

Jiang Che looked calmly at the stage, his tone unhurried, "What you mean is that the person you mentioned who is in a high position did everything out of kindness, wanting to help the person in a low position."

"The person in a lower position should be grateful for this, instead of looking at it from their own incomplete perspective and making arbitrary judgments."

Liu Wei smiled and nodded: "That's one way to understand it."

"Ha, Senior Liu's answer was brilliant. I've certainly learned a lot from it."

Jiang Che first made a statement of affirmation, and many people in the audience showed expressions of "I knew it," thinking that the conversation was over.

However, Jiang Che changed the subject.

"However, there's something I don't quite understand, and I hope Senior Liu can clarify it for me."

The principal glanced at Liu Wei from the stage with a slightly embarrassed expression.

According to the procedure, there should only be one question during the interactive session, and asking the question at this point is considered compliant.

But Jiang Che had already said those words, and if Liu Wei didn't respond, he would seem guilty.

So Liu Wei could only force a smile and say, "Of course, junior, please go ahead."

Jiang Che said, "Let's say, senior, you want to give me a car."

"But on the condition that I smash this car now."

"Then my senior told me that the new car was much better than the old one, and that smashing the old car and taking the new one was the rational choice."

"But that old car accompanied me from Lincheng to Beijing, through countless late nights and early mornings, and never let me down when I needed it most."

"I'd like to ask you, senior, in this situation, am I obligated to accept your help?"

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

The topic suddenly shifted from abstract discussion to concrete examples, and everyone understood what Jiang Che was talking about.

Su Qinghe was also stunned.

Of course she realized that the "old car" Ah Che was referring to was her.

She accompanied him from Lincheng to the capital, through countless late nights and early mornings, and never let him down when he needed her most.

She stared blankly up at the boy in front of her, her eyes gradually stinging with tears.

Xu Wenbin muttered under his breath, "Damn, is there something hidden in Lao Jiang's words?"

Lin tide didn't say anything, but she keenly sensed that the atmosphere between the two people on and off the stage was not quite right.

Liu Wei remained silent for two seconds.

He didn't expect Jiang Che to speak so bluntly in front of more than three thousand people.

Although no names are explicitly mentioned, the implication in this example is quite clear.

However, he was a man who had seen a lot, and after two seconds, he put on a smile again.

"The example your junior gave was very interesting."

"But I think there are some logical problems in the example."

"Accepting a new car doesn't mean you have to smash the old one."

"If your old car has special meaning to you, you can absolutely keep it in the garage and cherish it."

"I have never said that accepting one party's kindness means you have to destroy the other party."

"Junior, you've trapped yourself in a binary choice, but in reality, that choice doesn't exist."

After listening, Jiang Che suddenly smiled with relief.

So Liu Wei's idea is that Su Qinghe can be his concubine, as long as Liu Mengyao is his legal wife?

Jiang Che found it hard to imagine how Liu Wei, a person with such a peculiar way of thinking, could have lived so long unscathed.

The technology for preventing miscarriage in this world is still too advanced.

After gathering his thoughts, Jiang Che sneered and continued, "Senior is right."

"There is indeed more than one choice in this world."

"but--"

He changed the subject abruptly, his smile remaining the same, but the warmth in his tone dropped several degrees.

"What if someone deliberately tries to drill a hole in the floor of my old car while I'm resting?"

"If someone keeps telling me that my old car is not good enough for me, that driving it will make me lose face, or that it will slow me down."

"They even went so far as to sabotage me on the track, trying to injure me so that I would be forced to give up that car and accept this new one instead."

"Then I'd like to ask you, senior, can this kind of behavior still be defined as 'helping'?"

After he finished speaking, the Great Hall of the People became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

All three thousand-plus freshmen were completely dumbfounded.

They didn't know the cause and effect, but they could tell something was wrong just by the tense atmosphere in the conversation.

Their conversation had long since gone beyond a typical question-and-answer session.

It felt more like they were arguing. If they weren't so far apart, they might have started fighting right there.

The principal in the audience frowned slightly, but the Q&A session was not over yet, and he couldn't very well interrupt.

In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on the two men on and off the stage.

A slight, almost imperceptible stiffness appeared on Liu Wei's smile.

He hadn't expected Jiang Che to speak so bluntly.

"This junior has a very rich imagination."

After a moment, Liu Wei slowly gave his answer, "However, things in life are not that dramatic."

"Often, what is called 'tripping up' is just normal competition, and normal competition is the underlying logic of how this society works."

"If you feel that someone is targeting you, I suggest you provide evidence."

"If there is no evidence, then we should learn to look at the people and things around us with a more open mind."

Little did Jiang Che know, this was exactly what he was waiting for.
