I snagged a bargain in a melodramatic novel and became incredibly wealthy!

"You've got so many certificates?"

Caiyi stared at the stack of certificates she was organizing, her dark eyes wide and round, like a cat's.

Jiang Li carefully arranged the certificate and placed it on the desk in the room.

She turned to look at Caiyi, her smile filled with pride: "Yes, as long as I've read or studied something, I'll seize any opportunity to master it and pass the exams."

"Because it's the easiest thing for me."

Caiyi: "..."

If she wasn't mistaken, she couldn't even understand the names of some of the certificates.

What a diligent and studious daughter!

She should just stick to her job!

She couldn't possibly learn so much. The only reason she could remember all the words in those melodramatic novels she followed back then was because of the power of money.

But then again.

"You seem to have accounting and finance certificates in your collection. Why don't you try to obtain those qualifications and earn money yourself?"

"This should be much easier than getting a scholarship, right?"

Jiang Li froze, then smiled bitterly after a long while: "Yes, but I don't know why, no matter how much professional knowledge I have, I always fail in the end..."

Even if I'm 100% sure it's a sure thing... there will always be unexpected situations in the end.

At this point, she thought for a moment and said,

"It seems that I can only make money by working odd jobs; other ways to make money are not available to me."

"It feels...like someone is trying to stop me from making money."

Do you think my idea is ridiculous?

Cai Yi's pupils contracted, and he was speechless for a long time.

Has Jiang Li sensed the world's consciousness...?

But why?

Caiyi couldn't quite understand why they were able to detach themselves from the plot; it was because they already knew it from the very beginning.

Jiang Li looked at Cai Yi, who did not answer, and felt disappointed for a moment, but then she thought about it and realized that her idea was ridiculous.

She said to Caiyi, "These are all just my wild thoughts, teacher, please don't laugh at me."

Cai Yi shook his head, his round eyes meeting Jiang Li's still-disappointed gaze: "Stick to your idea. Maybe someone is trying to stop you from making money."

The disappointment in Jiang Li's eyes was overshadowed by a sudden surge of joy. She stared intently into Cai Yi's eyes, making sure her words were genuine, before smiling and saying, "Yes, there aren't that many coincidences."

"One day I will find out who's preventing me from making money!"

"He's such a despicable scoundrel, only daring to pull dirty tricks behind people's backs!"

Caiyi clapped his hands and laughed like a child: "Yes, yes, what a despicable person."

World, Despicable Man, Consciousness: "..."

Cai Yi thought the world consciousness must be furious. It kindly paved the way for Jiang Li, but she didn't want to walk it.

In the story, Jiang Li doesn't know what her own abilities are.

But she had already seen it; those numerous certificates were the best proof of Jiang Li's abilities.

Jiang Li doesn't need to marry into a wealthy family to prove her worth, because she is a capable person who can forge her own path.

However, there were always people blocking her path, forcing her to follow the lines of fate.

The world outside of the University of Leah.

The pride of capable and knowledgeable people is recognized by the world.

For example, they're already so powerful, yet they don't commit murder or arson, nor are they morally corrupt. What's wrong with them being a little proud?

However, Jiang Li's sense of justice is a bit skewed. She tends to judge things based on her subjective opinions when the truth is unclear, which is not a good sign.

However, she believed that someone as smart as Jiang Li should be able to correct this habit quickly.

The fact that she apologized to her on their second meeting shows that she is a smart girl who knows how to admit her mistakes and correct them.

Such a person deserves a wider world, not to marry into a wealthy family.

……

What do you like to eat?

Caiyi glanced at the clock; it was almost lunchtime, and Xiao Baihua and the others should be back soon.

Jiang Li: "Either is fine."

Caiyi: "I hate this answer because it will make me agonize over it for a long time."

"Since you're going to cook anyway, why not choose what you like?"

Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, then thought it made a lot of sense: "Then... braised pork?"

Caiyi glanced at the refrigerator, which was full of food, mostly meat, probably from Shanhe.

When each person replenishes their food, the proportion of meat and vegetables varies.

A single green vegetable amidst pure meat.

Xiao Baihua's diet is a mix of meat and vegetables.

Wei Yan... a refrigerator full of compressed biscuits.

Xu Qingming's pure meat is very similar to Cai Yi's taste.

……

Caiyi and Jiangli worked together, and the dishes were prepared quickly, all finished by the time they returned.

At the dinner table, Wei Yan ate in silence, chewing her food quietly, while Cai Yi and the others made a noisy scene.

Shanhe stuffed a piece of braised pork into Wei Yan's bowl, grinning and saying, "Why are you always so quiet when we eat? Let's chat!"

Wei Yan picked up a piece of braised pork, took a bite, and said lightly, "It's fatty but not greasy, very delicious."

A little embarrassed, Jiang Li also put a piece of braised pork on Wei Yan's plate and said, "Teacher, if you like it, eat more. I'll make more for you in the future."

Caiyi had no time to pay attention to them. While eating, she kept saying, "I like that one too."

Xiao Baihua served her food, and Jiang Li also served her food, telling her that she only needed to eat.

"Caiyi, you eat so much, don't you take it easy?"

After saying this, Xiao Baihua stopped feeding Caiyi and her gaze fell on Caiyi's round belly.

Seeing this, Shanhe quickened his pace, knowing that Caiyi's appetite was no less than his.

He used to be the biggest eater, but now his position might be taken over by Cai Yi.

Xiao Baihua took the food that Jiang Li had put on Caiyi's plate with her bowl, pointed to Caiyi's stomach and said, "She can't eat anymore, look at her stomach."

Jiang Li followed the gaze of the finger she was pointing at, her eyes widening in surprise.

Then he obediently placed the dish into Xiao Baihua's bowl.

As she ate the food in her bowl, she felt a sense of warmth and comfort, as if she were at home.

She couldn't afford the food in the school cafeteria, so she bought a small pot and secretly cooked something to eat when no one was around.

Otherwise, you could go off-campus, but the school is too big, and it takes too much time to go back and forth each time.

She therefore rarely left the school, so she often went hungry or ate alone.

Things are different now. From now on, someone will accompany her when she eats.

The moon is bright and the stars are few; all is quiet.

Jiang Li gently knocked on Cai Yi's door.

Caiyi rubbed his sleepy eyes, yawned, and looked at her with a puzzled expression, his hair disheveled: "Huh?"

Jiang Li handed her a stack of money, some in small change and some in large bills: "This is for my room and board. I know it might be a little little, but I'll make it up to you when I earn more money later."

Once Caiyi regained her senses, she didn't take it, but smiled and said, "You said it's not enough, so keep it for yourself."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li felt her self-esteem was hurt, but the next second Cai Yi's words made her eyes light up.

"Keep it. You can use it to pay for my room and board tomorrow by doing some work for me."

"Get some rest early, otherwise you won't have the energy to help me with work tomorrow."

After Caiyi finished speaking, she closed the door; she was extremely sleepy.

Jiang Li carefully put the money away and returned to her room with a smile.
