Chapter 124: Chapter 121 A Glance at the Vast World_2

“Auntie, are you interested in games now?”

Lin Han took a bite of salad, struggling to swallow it down. She hated this food the most, but in order to maintain her figure, she had skipped dinner already. If she didn’t eat something, she would be unbearably hungry, and not eating was harmful to her health.

“Who likes this damn game? I just think it’s funny watching him play.”

Her tone changed, “Shuyan, how has school been for you lately? Are you getting used to it?”

She was usually busy with work, attending endless meetings and handling countless documents for investment matters. Lately, she had been dreaming about her carefree younger years.

Looking at Ding Shuyan’s age, she couldn’t help feeling a pang of envy. Youth was priceless.

Lin Han rarely had such free time, so she took the opportunity to fulfill her duties as a guardian and show some concern for Ding Shuyan.

Ding Shuyan replied, “It’s okay, I guess.”

Lin Zida added, “Students in Yuzhou are wild, they fight a lot more than those in An City, and there are always various troublesome things happening.”

“Once, the basketball in the class next door exploded, nearly scared people to death!”

Lin Han said, “That’s how Fourth Middle School is, you’ll get used to it slowly.”

She had studied at Fourth Middle School before, so she was well familiar with the school culture.

Lin Zida, while playing a game, said, “The students at Fourth Middle School like to play online games and mobile games. I mentioned PlayStation consoles to them, and they’d never even heard of them.”

“They even tried to get me to play League of Legends.”

“Speaking of which, there’s another funny thing. Today, Jianhui called me to play League of Legends, but on the way, a girl confessed to him!”

At this point, Lin Zida became so excited that he paused the game.

Originally, after witnessing this, he planned to tell Lin Han as soon as he got home, but she wasn’t there at first, so he ended up playing games, and only just now suddenly remembered.

“Yo, Xiao Hui got a confession, was it a girl from your class?” Lin Han asked eagerly.

Women, no matter what, love gossip, especially when it involved someone she knew. She was indeed curious.

“It’s not from our class, she’s from Class Eight next door,” Lin Zida said, his expression slightly strange.

“Oh, not from the special class, was the girl beautiful?” Lin Han inquired, knowing quite well how handsome Zhuang Jianhui was; ordinary girls probably wouldn’t match him.

Lin Zida fidgeted with the controller, hesitating to speak, then under Lin Han’s cold gaze, he nervously said:

“It’s not about whether she’s beautiful or not; she’s just very strange, um, hard to describe.”

Lin Zida timidly glanced at Lin Han, then at Ding Shuyan, and said:

“Her weight, probably as much as the two of you combined, get my drift?”

“Giggle, giggle.” Lin Han laughed out loud.

Even Ding Shuyan couldn’t help smiling.

“Xiao Hui surely is…” Lin Han asked further, “So, did he agree?”

“Nope, originally Jianhui was cornered by that girl at the staircase, and he was so scared that he just ran away, which made me unable to walk home with him,” Lin Zida said with a tone of complaint.

Lin Han pictured the scene and couldn’t hold back a laugh. Xiao Hui was always proud, liked to act cool, and cared about his image, but he ended up so frightened.

“Do you know who that girl is?” Lin Han asked.

Lin Zida actually went to inquire: “Her name is Pang Jiao.”

…

“By the way, the last exam, wasn’t the top of the year group from Class Eight?” Lin Han mentioned.

Though it had been two months since Fourth Middle School’s exam, Lin Han hadn’t really cared about Ding Shuyan and the others’ grades before.

Their grades were originally good, and they were more sensible than their peers, knowing the importance of studying and not slacking off.

It was just the day before yesterday, at a gathering, she incidentally met an aunt who worked in education. After Lin Han brought it up, she got the score report, and Ding Shuyan, to her surprise, had only ranked third in Fourth Middle School’s monthly exam.

Lin Han figured that her niece must have again been holding back, as she had done so in An City before, typically staying low-key.

Otherwise, with the quality of students at Fourth Middle School, Ding Shuyan would definitely have been first.

“Indeed in Class Eight, he’s a very impressive person,” Ding Shuyan didn’t deny.

Lin Han playfully instigated, “How impressive, better than your grades?”

Ding Shuyan listened to her aunt’s words, her expression actually became serious, “Indeed better than me.”

Achievements reached a certain level, the differences were not big, like the second place in Fourth Middle School’s exam, Du Chuan, whom Fourth Middle School paid to come, specifically preparing to excel in the college entrance exam.

Such a person was already a genius, even if placed in the best high school in An City, he would still be among the top few students, performing normally, he could probably get into those top two prestigious schools.

Although Ding Shuyan was proud, she asked herself, she was probably at that level in the college entrance exam.

But this time, the first place at Fourth Middle School, Xue Yuantong, she directly created a gulf of difference, even if Ding Shuyan did not hold back and exerted her full effort in the exams, she could not surpass her.

So she was indeed somewhat convinced, she initially wanted to look into Xue Yuantong, according to the previous Ding Shuyan’s way of doing things, when in doubt, check thoroughly first.

But that day, she happened to see Xue Yuantong and Jiang Ning going home together, so she instantly dismissed the idea.

She dared not probe actively again, once discovered by Jiang Ning, there probably wouldn’t be another chance.

After learning about it, Lin Han nodded, not taking it to heart.

Being good at studying, so what? After careful consideration, there were many people with good grades, but those who ultimately make waves in various top domains were not those so-called top scholars.

Like Lin Han once experienced, the school also had geniuses, some students’ achievements, even if she studied twenty-four hours a day, she couldn’t catch up to, she also felt defeated before.

Now, those people had flowed into various domains, those who did well were pursuing PhDs in computer science or high-energy physics abroad.

After graduation, if lucky, they might earn a few million a year.

If not so lucky, just a few hundred thousand.

Although one can’t solely measure a person’s worth by money, undeniably, money is again the best measure.

Having spent several years abroad, Lin Han had a broad perspective, she knew best that internationally, money was the most universally representative.

…

“Aunt, how is the progress on your side going?”

Ding Shuyan asked.

Mentioning this, Lin Han pressed her temples and said,

“The progress is very smooth, however, recently a unicorn company has emerged in Yuzhou.”

Talking about this, Lin Han’s face grew much more solemn.

Ding Shuyan, “Unicorn?”

Lin Han didn’t hide it, although Ding Shuyan was young, she was intelligent and such matters could be discussed with her.

As for Lin Zida playing games at the side, Lin Han completely ignored him, Lin Xiaopang was engrossed in his game.

“The beauty domain, to be precise, the hair growth domain,” Lin Han said.

“Hair growth?” Ding Shuyan was not very concerned about this area.

“There’s a company in Yuzhou that has introduced a product called ‘Evergreen Liquid’, something similar to a hair conditioner, but astonishingly, as long as it’s applied to the scalp, it will grow hair, the effect is extremely terrifying.”

If her current investment projects were about picking money, then the Evergreen Liquid project was literally like printing money, too frightening.

Her team analyzed that next year, the total profits of Evergreen Liquid would be at least in the tens of billions.

Ding Shuyan did not understand very well but seeing Lin Han analyze it so seriously, she said, “Could that product have side effects, like added hormones?”

Lin Han said, “No, the brilliance of Evergreen Liquid lies in its formula, conventional testing methods simply can’t analyze its chemical component, yet it indeed has that effect.”

“I know that a biotech company in Nan City bought Evergreen Liquid and immediately took it back for lab testing, and they didn’t find anything.”

There was another thing Lin Han didn’t say, instead, that biotech company, several bald executives used it, praised it immensely, becoming staunch fans of Evergreen Liquid, and one of them even jumped ship to the Changqing Liquid Group.

Ding Shuyan said, “It really is impressive.”

“Yes, it is, some preferential policies are much better than my projects,” Lin Han said.

Moreover, as far as she knew, the person in charge of that company was named Shao Shuangshuang.

Her high school rival, also her defeated opponent.

Initially knowing the other party opened a pawnshop, she was a bit complacent, but in just a few months, the other party suddenly became the person in charge of the promising Changqing Liquid Group.

Much more glamorous than her.

Lin Han felt a bit defeated, what kind of good luck could allow Shao Shuangshuang to rise to her current position?

That was a bit too absurd.
