She became a heartthrob among internet celebrities.

After 001 left, Jiang Lai's life seemed no different from before. After all, 001 had been gone for a long time before it left, and she would only occasionally think of the days when she first became bound to it.

Jiang Lai began to cheer up and focused her energy on her graduation thesis and exam preparation. The graduation season in June arrived as scheduled, and Jiang Lai's thesis was rated as excellent. She also became an outstanding graduate and gave a speech at the graduation ceremony.

She chose to pursue a master's degree, passed the exam to become Qian Xuesen's student, and will spend the next three years on this campus.

She devoted all her energy to academic research, giving up live streaming, voice acting, and other offers of opportunities. She found that she enjoyed this life of focused study, and that finance was far more interesting than she had imagined.

She gradually calmed down and stopped showing herself in front of people as before. People came and went at the school, and the forum posts that used to be about her became new goddesses. Her fans on the internet also got used to her leaving the scene.

Jiang Lai followed Mr. Qian, met many people, and learned a lot. The more she learned, the more she felt her own shortcomings. She became more diligent and always sat in a corner of the library, immersing herself in the sea of ​​books.

Her efforts were not in vain; she earned numerous honors, the result of countless nights of diligent study and countless days of practical experience. With perseverance and tenacity, she pushed the limits of the financial field. Each honor is like a halo, making her shine brightly in the halls of finance.

When Jiang Lai was 26, she received the Financial Navigator Award, an award for financial professionals aged 25-30 worldwide. It is one of the most important awards for young people in the global financial community, aiming to recognize individuals who have made outstanding achievements in the Asian financial industry and is a high recognition of the winners' research and practice in the financial field.

Jiang Lai was invited to give a speech at the school, which was very convenient for her, as she was still at the school and it was just a matter of walking a few steps.

The school forum has once again seen a surge of posts related to her.

—Our school's senior, Jiang, is still so young this year, that's amazing!

Do you have any of Senior Jiang's previous materials? I want to admire her!

—Does the senior have a boyfriend or girlfriend?

—I didn't know this senior before?

Soon, graduates came out to explain the science.

—Jiang Lai was a prominent figure when she first entered the school. It's normal that you don't know her now, but in our graduating classes, she was quite well-known, even though she was very low-key.

—Even now, my senior is still very low-key!

—She became an internet sensation on forums right after entering university because of her military training, with various videos of her participating. She later attended numerous events, and her face remains unforgettable...

Wow, that's amazing! She's my senior in the same department! I wonder if I'll ever have a chance to ask her for advice.

......

Jiang Lai stood on the stage of the auditorium, holding a microphone, wearing a lilac-colored long dress.

She is more mature than before, with an intellectual and gentle temperament, and speaks softly, but her competence and straightforwardness are undeniable.

Her voice was still so beautiful. She said, "I am very happy to receive this award. Before me, only one woman had received it, namely my mentor, Mr. Qian. Among those who have made their mark in the financial industry, there is a huge gender imbalance."

"Generally speaking, some professional areas in the financial industry, such as investment banking, stock trading, and risk management, are typically male-dominated. This may be related to the fact that these areas require more risk-taking and decision-making abilities, traits that are generally considered to be more prominent in men. However, in other financial fields, such as accounting, auditing, and financial analysis, the proportion of women may be higher."

"What I want to tell you is not to be limited by age, gender, region, or the opinions of others. Nothing can stop you except yourself."

The younger students in the audience were greatly inspired, and her speech also inspired many people.

Another winter has arrived, and Jiang Lai's 30th birthday is approaching.

She put down her tablet, flipped through the calendar on the table, and saw a heart drawn on her birthday. She had arranged to meet up with her friends on her birthday.

That day came quickly.

Jiang Lai had ordered food to be delivered to her home early in the morning, but it was too cold for her to cook.

Qin Yifan was the first to arrive, wearing a white, fluffy coat. As soon as she entered, she handed Jiang Lai a gift, saying, "Here, I bought this while I was performing outside. It's a local handmade scarf, truly handmade! Do you know how rare this design is? I estimate the old man making it was over a hundred years old! He was basically wearing a magnifying glass while doing it..."

Qin Yifan took the hot water Jiang Lai handed her and continued, "This feels incredibly soft and warm..."

After graduating with her master's degree, Jiang Lai continued as Qian Xuesen's doctoral student. She stayed in the capital and her relationship with Qin Yifan became even closer.

She is now a well-known dancer, always traveling the world with her dance company. The spoiled little girl she once was is now a blazing flame on the stage. She is beautiful, comes from a good family, and dances well. She quickly became famous in the dance circle and gained a loyal fan base.

Jiang Lai listened to her talk nonstop with a smile, and then, during their conversation, Bai Luxi arrived.

"I thought I'd be the first!" she laughed. "Happy birthday, Jiang Mei."

"Thank you sister!"

Bai Luxi sat down. "I just rushed over from the recording studio. I've had so many dramas on my plate lately, I've been talking non-stop all day long, my voice is about to go hoarse..."

Bai Luxi remains an excellent voice actress, just like before. The only difference is that she got married to Lan Ting, achieving success in both her career and love life.

Lin Chaoyin and Wen Zhi came together.

"Senior? How did you two come together?" "I just happened to be doing a show with Wen Zhi recently, so we came together."

Wen Zhi loves photography. After graduating from school, she became a freelance photographer, mostly shooting landscapes. Some of her photos have won international awards, and she is quite famous in the field of documentary photography. Recently, she was invited to participate in a TV talk show, which is produced by Lin Chaoyin.

Lin Chaoyin started out as a minor character in various variety shows, but she eventually rose to become a producer, and her programs are all guaranteed to have high viewership ratings. Jiang Lai has also appeared on her show; few people can make an interview program so lively and interesting, which just goes to show that she is truly capable.

When the doorbell rang again, Jiang Lai's three roommates stood outside the door.

"You've finally arrived! We've been waiting for the three of you!" she said reproachfully.

Tang Li gave her a big hug: "Happy birthday, Jiang Jiang! It was so crowded on the way, I'm so sorry 5555"

Jiang Lai patted her on the back, "I'm not blaming you, come in quickly."

For today's birthday party, Jiang Lai only invited her female friends, who all knew each other to some extent, and the conversation went very well.

Jiang Lai watched them playfully with a smile and said softly, "That's so nice!"

Zhao Ying, who was standing next to her, didn't hear clearly and asked, "Jiang Jiang, what did you say?"

"I said, 'That's great.'"

To all of you who shine in your respective fields, and to us who are now chatting, laughing, joking, and arguing, let me say, "That's great."
