Disappointed, Chen's mother left. After seeing her off, Lin's mother returned, equally bewildered: "What on earth is Chen Jun thinking? Listen to this, you really know nothing?"

Lin Ting blinked her innocent big eyes and said, "All I know is that he got into a fight with his roommate a few days ago, Yingzi broke up with him, and the other girl he's pursuing has a boyfriend... I really don't know anything."

Lin's mother: "..."

Lin's father: "..."

How can you say you don't know?

How much more does she want to know?

Lin's mother guessed, "Could it be that he feels embarrassed and wants to find an excuse to drop out of school?"

Lin Ting: "Try to look on the bright side. What if he just really wants to go into business?"

“Nonsense,” Lin’s mother chuckled. “How could that be? Giving up a secure job to go into business? Besides, even though he’s studying economics, he’s only a freshman. What does he know about stocks?”

Lin's father nodded as he ate an orange: "Yes, yes, my wife is right."

As if she had suddenly thought of something, Lin's mother glanced at Lin Ting without making a sound and said, "One cannot be fixated on the smallest immediate gains. Perhaps setting up a stall and doing business can earn a worker's monthly wage every day, but this is not a long-term solution."

“If you study hard now, you will be assigned a job after graduation. If you are unhappy with your job, or if the opportunity is right, you can choose to go into business. But if you drop out of school now, you will only have one path to take in the future.”

"Whether it's a blessing or a curse, who can say for sure? We can't just see others eating meat and not see them getting beaten."

As Lin listened to her mother's words, she felt that she was implying that she had gone to set up a stall with Zheng Miaoying before.

Lin Ting never thought that the matter could be kept from her mother. Not to mention finding out from others, given her father's henpecked nature...

His mother didn't even need to give him a cold look before he confessed everything.

Lin Ting chuckled and nodded, "I know, Mom, don't worry, I'm not stupid."

In an era where college students are truly the cream of the crop, she must be crazy to give up this diploma.

Lin's mother still trusted Lin Ting quite a bit. Hearing this, she nodded gently and finally ended tonight's educational lesson. She then turned to the television and began to discuss the TV series casually.

Lin Ting enjoys spending time with her parents; even if they don't do anything, she's happy.

The Lin family was enjoying a harmonious time, but the Chen family upstairs was shrouded in gloom.

Chen Jun not only decided to drop out of school, but also wanted to take all of his family's savings to buy some kind of stock subscription certificate.

Mr. Chen was furious and grabbed a belt to whip him.

Fearing he would be chased away again, Chen's mother desperately tried to stop him.

But her son seemed like a different person. Not only did he refuse to admit his mistake or say anything conciliatory, but he also looked at them with an impatient and cold gaze, saying that they didn't understand economic trends.

"Let me tell you, there is absolutely no way I will sign your leave of absence application, don't even think about it!"

"And don't even think about touching the money in the house! Let me tell you the truth, I hid the bankbook a long time ago, it's not at home!"

In his final remarks, Mr. Chen's attitude was extremely firm.

Chen Jun remained silent for a moment, then went straight back to his room.

He didn't really care much about the diploma. He knew very well what kind of job he would be assigned in the future—an English teacher at a junior college, a completely dead-end job.

He worked for half a year and then took advantage of the winter vacation to go to the south with a patient's family member of Mr. Chen's father. In just two months, he earned 100,000 yuan.

He returned to Shenyang with the money, and his uncle helped him buy two shops. He chose to sell home appliances and, through the connections of another friend of his father, he closely cooperated with several state-owned home appliance factories...

Only he knows how much hardship this seemingly smooth entrepreneurial journey actually involved.

He was given a second chance at life, not to repeat the same mistakes.

He clearly remembers that the first person who helped him make money told him that he made his fortune with the 92 subscription certificate. He bought it for 6,000 yuan, and it rose to 300,000 yuan in six months.

He had talked about this many times with great relish, so Chen Jun remembered it clearly.

He no longer wanted to be subservient to others and be promoted; he wanted to seize this opportunity and sit at the same table as them.

He took out all his money, which totaled seventy-two yuan and fifty cents.

"..."

There aren't even enough train tickets to Shanghai.

……

Lin Ting never expected that she would run into Chen Jun at the Wu'ai Market.

Seeing that he seemed to be bargaining with Aunt Li, Lin Ting seriously suspected that he was copying her homework.

Could it be that the book he transmigrated into is the version that came after he transmigrated?

Could it be that he came to apologize yesterday because he was after her money?

Lin Ting suddenly became alert, her eyes practically spitting fire.

Suddenly, a bright yellow twisted dough stick appeared in front of her.

Lin Ting looked up following the hand holding the twisted dough stick and saw Jiang Zong eating it with a blank expression but a happy look in his eyes.

Lin Ting: "..."

Chiang Kai-shek was a powerful figure in Shanghai, while Chiang Ching-kuo was enjoying a fried dough twist at the Wu'ai Market.

This... is hard to judge, really hard to judge.

Seeing that Lin Ting didn't take it, Jiang Zong pushed it forward a little more, adding, "It's delicious."

Lin Ting shakily reached out and took the steaming hot twist.

Take a bite...

I must say, it's actually really delicious.

Lin Ting swallowed the fragrant fried dough twist in her mouth and asked him, "Don't you feel uncomfortable?"

Jiang Zong understood her true meaning and said, "It's okay that they're not looking at me."

Being in crowded places does make him a little nervous, but as long as the people around him don't pay attention to him, he won't feel too uncomfortable.

Lin Ting felt relieved and took another bite of the twisted dough stick.

Jiang Zong asked, "Aren't you going?"

Lin replied, "I've already eaten it. It's not appropriate to hold up a twisted dough stick while discussing business."

Jiang Zong recalled his 108 points and felt that Lin had made sense.

They stood side by side on the roadside, eating fried dough twists.

"Hey, Jiang Zong!"

In the vast sea of ​​people, a chubby little boy skipped and ran towards them.

Liang Tianxing only saw Jiang Zong from a distance, but when he got closer and saw Lin Ting, he unconsciously put away his playful expression and even subconsciously straightened his clothes.

He's never spoken to any pretty female classmates before, so how can he avoid looking shy?

"Ahem, Lin is here too." Liang Tianxing greeted Lin Ting in a serious manner. "Hello, I'm Liang Tianxing, Jiang Zong's roommate."

"Hello."

Seeing that he was dragging two sacks, Lin Ting realized he was there to buy goods, and she smiled and said, "You're here to do business too?"

“Yes, my mom made me earn my own living expenses, saying that whatever I earned was my own money to spend.” Liang Tianxing said proudly, “Although it’s a bit tiring, I earn more in one day than I used to earn in a month!”

Lin Ting readily complimented him, saying, "Liang is really amazing."

Liang Tianxing unconsciously took a deep breath.

So this is what it feels like to be praised for being amazing by a pretty female classmate!

He felt like he was about to float away.

Liang Tianxing pinched his thigh hard to calm himself down and asked, "Are you here to do business too?"

He felt it was impossible. Jiang Zong's family owned such a large hotel, how could he possibly be setting up a street stall?

Lin said vaguely, "Just browsing around. If Liang is busy, you can go ahead first. We can talk at school later."

"Okay, okay, hahaha... See you later!"

Liang Tianxing grinned broadly, glancing back every few steps as he walked toward his mother's stall.

As he got closer, he took a closer look—

"Chen Jun? What are you doing here?"
