Chapter 914: Chapter 684 Accompanying the Exam and Dreams_2

“Then I asked them, ‘Teacher, you have such a high degree, how much do you make a month?’

“You know, I didn’t mean to belittle them. I just wanted to say that academic performance does not necessarily correlate with success in adulthood, and the most crucial point is that material wealth doesn’t motivate me to work hard, it’s something my family, including myself, never lacks.

“You’ve seen my dad; his true status is extremely high, and it’s the same worldwide. Every summer, he takes me through all sorts of bizarre experiences.

“The first time left a deep impression on me; he took me to a village in the city to work as a waiter. Even then, he was already one of the country’s top tycoons. Dad opened a restaurant, and he worked as the chef, observing people living in confusion. Even if life seemed hopeless, reduced to a mundane routine, there were still those who studied under dim lights at night, and some who traveled extra long hours to and from work to save on a little rent.

“The following year, he took me to experience rural life, planting and farming just like ordinary farmers.

“Later, he spent billions to set up a modern history exhibition to help us deeply understand every major historical event.

“Last year, he took me to Wall Street to learn stock trading. I lost billions, and my sister lost four or five hundred million.

“Over the years, my dad never asked about my ambitions, nor did he think I needed any. He seriously told me, ‘Live happily according to your own will, do whatever you want, as long as you’re happy.’

Jiang Tang blinked her beautiful fox-like eyes, finding it somewhat incomprehensible yet somewhat understandable.

An’an told her so much, partly because she trusted her and partly to inform her.

For people like them, ordinary people’s dreams are within easy reach.

It’s meaningless.

She never understood the meaning of studying from a young age; now her efforts are likely just to prove herself.

She doesn’t think that studying leads to success.

That’s what she thought, and her sister feels the same way.

Er Piya’s good grades were never due to effort, just astonishing talent.

The sisters never believed that study inevitably led to success.

Let alone having dreams.

Seeing the vast world reveals that not everything, including ideas, is necessarily correct.

It’s just that some people want you to have those ideas.

This is a sophisticated and invisible means of civilizing people.

Chen An’an has seen too much, so her knowledge cannot be compared to Jiang Tang’s.

“Your father treats you very well!”

“Of course, I always thought my dad was the greatest dad in the world.”

Chen An’an smiled and said, “Jiang Tang, I’ve always felt people shouldn’t spend their whole life striving for a house. We need to live more happily: I may not know what my dream is yet, but I certainly don’t think it’s just those steels and cements.”

“Hmm… It’s a pity that I can only reach this level. If I can complete this idea before my parents age, I’d feel I haven’t lived in vain.”

“Really?”

Chen An’an opened her little drawer and took out a watch her mom casually gifted her a few years ago.

“You could pawn this watch and easily buy a few-hundred-square-meter house in the Magic City.”

“That’s too valuable.”

“Valuable my foot, it’s just a watch. I change one every day and can’t wear them all in a year. I’m curious what new goal you’ll set after achieving the house dream!”

After thinking for a moment, Chen An’an added, “Once you have a house, maybe you’ll aim for a million in savings, then live peacefully with your parents. I could fulfill all that for you—house, car, and cash, not missing any. What will your new dream be then, Jiang Tang?”

She, Chen An’an, indeed has no grand dreams, but she can easily fulfill others’ tens of thousands of dreams.

She used to do that, and now just employing an old trick again.

No malice, nor overflowing kindness.

Just simple curiosity—after fulfilling her childhood dream,

What path will this commoner school beauty Jiang Tang take in university?

Either way, this is an extraordinary stroke of luck for Jiang Tang, the kind that’s rare and unrepeatable.

Mainly it’s because An’an herself is absurdly wealthy.

Every day, she does nothing, yet nets around ten million.

When she enters university, she will add several leading listed companies to her portfolio.

With such strength, she only needs a slight thought to easily realize a dream for others.

Needless to say, that’s truly a bit unbelievable.

Even Jiang Tang herself feels it’s a bit surreal. Achieving dreams too quickly, where to go from there?

Chen An’an isn’t joking when she says she’ll help fulfill her dream, and she will certainly complete it immediately.

The two of them study together every day; An’an doesn’t think too far ahead, focusing first on passing senior high school for now.

Her dad occasionally checks in on her, though Chen Pingsheng has started worrying about something else.

Little cousin Jiang Peiyao, the most beautiful cousin in the family, is still single.

Is she really not planning to find a boyfriend?

She’s so pretty, staying single really isn’t necessary.

Jiang Peiyao has been with them since she was eighteen, and now she’s twenty-eight.

This age isn’t much in the entertainment industry, but their family doesn’t have a tradition of late marriage.

Chen Pingsheng drives to the company, having called Jiang Peiyao back from Hengdian, Zhejiang.

This little cousin initially debuted playing school belle roles.

Now she’s cast as the heroine’s best friend, and in a few years, she might be playing the heroine’s aunt.

Imagine the scenario: the male lead falls in love with the heroine’s aunt. Interesting!

If she played such a role, lots of male viewers would probably enjoy watching.

Jiang Peiyao, already twenty-eight, sports a chic short bob and looks particularly beautiful.

She wears a white thin down jacket.

Chen Pingsheng asks her, “Peiyao, your mom has stopped pressuring you, right?”

“Yeah, she can’t pressure me anymore.”

“Then what about a boyfriend? You haven’t brought anyone home for years. Are you planning to stay single forever?”

“What do you mean, I might not have a boyfriend, but I have a girlfriend!”

Jiang Peiyao giggles, “Brother-in-law, I found a girlfriend.”

“What do you mean?”

“Just what it sounds like. Brother-in-law, being the biggest boss in the entertainment circle, surely you understand these things!”

Alright… he does understand, he just couldn’t believe it, nor dare ask further.

That night, Chen Pingsheng secretly follows his cousin, wanting to see who her girlfriend is, only to find Jiang Peiyao entering Liu Yifei’s large apartment in the Magic City.

The two ladies?

Could something special be happening between them?

Unlikely, she’s probably just evading my questioning by fooling me.

Frankly speaking, such things happen often in the entertainment industry.

The next day, he calls Yifei and confirms that Jiang Peiyao was indeed lying to him.

She knew he was following her, and with Yifei’s house keys, she went there to avoid questioning.

The little cousin certainly is clever.

There’s really no effective method he could use, he can’t just keep grilling his little cousin.

After An’an’s National Day holiday ends, he joins the vast army of exam accompaniments.

Same familiar room for exam preparations, Chen Pingsheng only got to send Little An’an in the morning and waits for her to come out from school in the evening.

Senior year of high school is a challenging hurdle for most students.

But nowadays, with more college graduates every year, it highlights the decreased importance of average universities.

Most parents actually understand that graduating from an average university is merely better than nothing.

The significance is truly not large.

Of course, there’s another scenario where parents have prearranged everything: graduating from an average university still lands you in those pre-set niche roles.
