Jiang Yu sized him up carefully. “Then, President Jian, what did you say you wanted to talk to me about just now?”

Jian Hanshen glanced at Feng Linbai.

Jiang Yu said calmly, “If you find it inconvenient to talk here, we can go to a room, but…”

She changed her tone. “He’s not an outsider.”

Jian Hanshen was stunned.

Feng Linbai was delighted.

It felt so good to be acknowledged by Jiang Yu. The corners of his lips curled up as he taunted Jian Hanshen, “President Jian, do you understand now?”

Jian Hanshen’s eyes darkened. However, he had just said that there was no news of Lu Yuan. If he admitted it now, it would undoubtedly be a slap to his face.

He could not bear to lose face, so he changed the topic, “I wanted to thank you, Ms. Jiang. My father is currently conscious. A few days ago, he opened his eyes. Although he’s not fully aware, it is already a big leap for me.”

Jiang Yu knew that Jian Hanshen had just randomly picked a topic. She let out an “oh” to show that she understood.

“If there’s nothing else, please forgive me for not accompanying you any longer.”

Jiang Yu walked away.

Feng Linbai glanced at Jian Hanshen before leaving as well.

Jian Hanshen pursed his lips and the look in his eyes was hard to read.

Feng Linbai was in a good mood. He felt as if he had finally obtained his status.

At the banquet, Jiang Yu was the main character. Many pairs of eyes were secretly sizing her up. Of course, they could see that Feng Linbai had been following Jiang Yu closely ever since he had entered the banquet hall. He had the demeanor of a flower protector.

A curious person asked Jiang Chenglang, “Director Jiang, that young master of the Feng family is your sister’s…?”

Jiang Chenglang replied politely, “Friend.”

However, this was not a satisfactory answer. There was a lot of meaning in being friends.

A boyfriend or a male friend was a type of friend.

Those who wanted to marry into the Jiang family no longer asked about Feng Linbai and directly expressed their intentions, “I have a son in my family who’s about the same age as your sister, Chenglang. People of the same age get along well, and it isn’t a bad thing to make more friends. Chenglang, could you help arrange for them to meet?”

“Sigh, Mr. Li, this is your fault. What kind of special arrangements do you need? Chenglang, when are you free? I’ll bring my son over for a visit. Although he often angers me, he did attend South University. He’s just so-so. He should be able to have something to talk about with your sister…”

Someone asked, “Chenglang, your sister is coming of age today. She should be attending university soon, right? Which university is she attending?”

Jiang Chenglang knew what they were thinking. Although he was familiar with these people, he would never use his sister as a tool in a marriage alliance. Moreover, these people were all asking about which university Jiang Yu was going to. Was it not just a way to start a comparison?

But, neither would he deliberately hide Jiang Yu’s brilliance just because of this meaningless comparison.

Jiang Chenglang replied calmly, “Xiao Yu is going to Beijing University.”

“Beijing University?”

The few of them were stunned. “Has she been accepted?”

Someone reminded them, “She must have. Bei U never accepts…ahem, connections. Have you forgotten about that kid from the Liu family that took the college entrance exam last year and wanted to use the backdoor to get into Bei U? He wasn’t accepted in the end.”

“Bei U isn’t an ordinary university. It has an important research institute and the government is watching over it. Nobody could buy their way in so easily.”

“Yes, yes, yes, I almost forgot!”

In fact, how could they forget that every single one of them here had thought about sending their children to Bei U? In the end, they all came back empty-handed. It was because the university did not participate in such political games.

However, even though they knew it was impossible, they always thought that someone had used a method that they did not know of and succeeded in the end. Therefore, they could not help but want to talk about Jiang Chenglang’s words.

In the end, they were just jealous that a member of someone else’s family had managed to get into Beijing University. They knew that their own children would not be able to enter by relying on their own abilities.

Jiang Chenglang replied, “Sort of.”

“Sort of? What does that mean?”

It felt as if he had caught a loophole in Jiang Chenglang’s words. Someone pressed on, “If you can get in, then you can get in. What’s there to consider? Chenglang, do you know of a way in? Don’t hide it. We’re close after all. Share it.”

“That’s right, Chenglang. There are no outsiders here. Just say it.”

Jiang Chenglang did not reject him. “All right, it’s not that I can’t share. I said sort of because Xiao Yu didn’t get in because of the college entrance examination. She didn’t even participate in the exam.”

Everyone there laughed in their hearts. They knew that the youngest daughter of the Jiang family had just been brought back. They heard that her education was not that good and her grades were at the bottom of the school. And considering that she had only been back for a year, even if Jiang Chenglang had specially hired a tutor for her, it was impossible for her to catch up in such a short time. It was not so easy to lay a solid foundation. Otherwise, would everyone not be able to get into top universities?

“Sigh, Chenglang, we know that it’s impossible for your sister to get into the country’s most famous university on her own. Let alone the top university of the country, even it would be difficult for her to enter any prestigious university. We can understand why you put in so much effort for her and even went through some unorthodox ways. You were doing this for her good. Which brother would want to harm his own sister?”

“But have you thought it through? Her foundation isn’t solid, and university isn’t like high school. It’ll be hard for her to keep up. When the time comes, it’ll be hard for your sister to learn. If she fails the exam, it’ll affect her confidence in her studies even more.”

Someone tugged at the person who was speaking and continued, “Chenglang, don’t mind him. Huang always talks like this. He’s straightforward and offends others easily with his words. Don’t take it to heart. But, Chenglang, we’re already so familiar with each other. Since you know a way in, don’t hide it. Tell us, how did you do it? You know that my daughter is going to take the college entrance exam next year. Isn’t this…”

He gave Jiang Chenglang a look, hinting at the obvious.

Jiang Chenglang agreed immediately, “Of course, I won’t hide it. There’s nothing to hide. I’ll tell you right now how Xiao Yu got into Bei U.”

Everyone waited for his answer with bated breath.

Jiang Chenglang swept his gaze across the crowd. There was no joy or sadness on his face, and his tone was flat as if he was talking about someone else’s family matter.

“Xiao Yu didn’t take the college entrance exam because she was accepted to Beijing University at the beginning of the year. There’s no need for her to take the exam again.

“She took the five-subject exam and got first place in the country with full marks.”
