Chapter 1102: Chapter 962 Identity
Three people entered the campus.
It had been raining for several days.
The air was chilly and damp.
Most students were holed up in their dormitories.
Many probably hadn’t broken through the confinement of their blankets yet. The campus looked quite deserted, but still, that didn’t stop some from wanting to try out the ’romantic’ vibe of a walk in the rain.
A couple passed them and walked away.
"What were you just looking at?"
The woman reached for the man’s waist.
"Ouch... that hurts... You were also looking at a handsome guy, we’re both guilty." The man’s dissatisfaction was apparent as he rubbed his slightly swollen waist.
"True, that handsome guy was really good-looking."
"Being handsome can’t feed us, sheesh... Ow, can’t you be a bit gentler? Tonight, I’ll show you what’s what, you pinched me so hard it’s swollen, look."
"Come on, who’s afraid of who, I’m just worried that after a vacation, your ’gun’ might’ve rusted..."
"What nonsense, just you wait and see if it has rusted."
"Good luck trying, kiddo."
"..."
Tang Qing heard everything and couldn’t help but laugh inwardly. These two clearly had been in the ’battlefield’ of a relationship long past the honeymoon phase, and their way of speaking had lost that glass-heart pretentiousness.
Next.
Registration.
Payment.
Since they arrived late, the freshmen had already finished registering, so they were attended to immediately. It took them less than twenty minutes, most of which was spent walking.
Tang Qing’s parents hadn’t given him money for quite some time.
But Lin Jiaxue’s parents had transferred quite a sum to her, covering a semester’s tuition fees and half a year’s living expenses, along with usual expenditures, totaling thirty thousand RMB.
In the past, that used to be their annual income; now, it was equivalent to just half a month’s profits. With Tang Kai’s prolonged payment term, Lin family’s account balance was quickly approaching eight million.
Nevertheless.
The two weren’t married yet
so it wouldn’t be fair to say they were completely spending Tang Qing’s money, although the amount probably wasn’t even close to what Tang Qing spent on Lin Jiaxue’s trivial expenses, just the clothes in the room alone were worth at least several hundred thousand.
After finishing the registration.
"Jiaxue and I will head off first," Zeng Rou said as she pulled Lin Jiaxue away.
Their class meeting times and locations were different.
Tang Qing turned around and walked towards the classroom Jing Xiang had told him about. There was still an hour before the class meeting, and Tang Qing didn’t go to the dormitory to chat with Zhong Liang and the others, as they would meet soon anyway.
...
Meanwhile.
In Tang Qing’s dormitory.
The other three had arrived the day before yesterday, registered and paid fees yesterday, and had been staying in the dormitory today; Li Mo and Ding Xiangming were reading, preparing for their Level 4 and Computer Science Level 2 exams, while Zhong Liang was keeping warm in his bed.
Tang Qing’s bunk was covered with a layer of transparent thin-film.
The blankets were complete.
But, even if they had friends over, they wouldn’t dare let anyone sleep on Tang Qing’s bed since they’d dined at Tang Qing’s house a few times and knew he didn’t like others touching his personal belongings.
"Do you think Tang Qing will come today?" Li Mo checked the time, noting that the class meeting would start soon.
Ding Xiangming responded, "Today’s the last day, how could he possibly not come? His fiancée also has school. Maybe he’s registering right now, and we’ll see him in class shortly."
"This might not be the case; maybe he wants to rest a few more days. Even if he doesn’t come to register today, but comes a week later, the school wouldn’t trouble Tang Qing, especially since he’s familiar with the vice-principal," Li Mo stated frankly.
"That’s true," Ding Xiangming nodded.
Recalling the scene when they saw Tang Qing at the construction site a few days earlier.
He still found it somewhat hard to accept that right after Tang Qing left, the foreman announced news that everyone would get a settlement of their wages, and all university students working over the summer vacation would receive their entire pay in one go.
But that wasn’t all.
The construction site also issued a bonus of five hundred RMB to each university student.
At the moment he received the money, his thoughts turned first to Tang Qing; otherwise, it made no sense. At that time, while Tang Qing was chatting with them, other site supervisors and the client were all waiting at a distance.
That afternoon.
The two met with the CEO of the company, asked him about Tang Qing’s affairs, and in the end, they were told news that completely dumbfounded them: the project belonged to Tang Qing’s company.
Comet Group.
It was actually a subsidiary under Tang Qing’s banner.
That company that made tens of billions in RMB from one movie’s box office...
They were baffled for an entire afternoon, and it took a while to digest this information. Even today, it all felt like a dream.
This was beyond just being wealthy.
It should be called immensely rich.
"You guys say, what background does Tang Qing really have?" Supporting his chin, Li Mo muttered to himself.
On the bed, Zhong Liang said, "You can’t figure it out by guessing, so why bother thinking so much? You just need to know that Tang Qing is very rich and very influential, and most importantly, he is our friend, our dorm mate."
He had known early on that Sheng Tang Group belonged to Tang Qing’s family, but hearing yesterday that there was also Comet Group had truly shocked him; he was still digesting it.
Comparing people.
Can really hurt.
In comparison.
His own family’s few tens of millions felt utterly insignificant.
"That’s true," Li Mo nodded.
"Also, a reminder, don’t casually leak Tang Qing’s family situation, nor think about using Tang Qing to gain anything. Otherwise, even if you get what you want, you’ll also lose Tang Qing as a friend.
Enhancing your own value is the only thing we need to learn at school. If there’s a chance, we might receive help from Tang Qing, but never think about skyrocketing simply through Tang Qing," Zhong Liang said earnestly.
"I didn’t..." Li Mo protested.
"I know you didn’t, just a precaution. Time can change a person, and Tang Qing’s level isn’t something we can casually relate to, like, you should never think about working at Tang Qing’s company."
"Why not?" Ding Xiangming asked, curious.
Zhong Liang said indifferently, "When friends become superiors and subordinates, when they become bosses and employees, the relationship changes, the mentality changes, and if you want to remain friends with Tang Qing, this point is especially vital."
"That makes sense," Li Mo nodded thoughtfully.
Ding Xiangming asked, "Zhong Liang, what do you want to do after graduation?"
"Me? I’m definitely going to expand our family’s car dealership business." Zhong Liang was a rather content person, aware of his advantages, with no need to add difficulties to his life.
"I really envy you."
A hint of melancholy crossed Li Mo’s eyes.
In one dormitory, there arose such a vast disparity in family backgrounds; unfortunately, he ended up at the very bottom, far from reaching the status of either Tang Qing or Zhong Liang.
Fortunately.
The world is fair.
It hadn’t deprived him of his right to an education, the sole hope for ordinary people to turn their lives around.
Noticing the mood had become somewhat solemn.
Zhong Liang said.
"Don’t worry, having a roomate like Tang Qing, no matter what, your future will likely be smoother, let’s all work hard together." Zhong Liang looked at the ceiling, his tone carefree, without comparisons, there are no injuries.
A strong fighting spirit also ignited in his heart.
