Chương 35: A Lesson
"His name is Shijia, and he was the president of the Theatre Club when I was in college. He was also majoring in Doctor of Literature. After graduation, it seems that he worked as a Minister of the Public Administration. I heard that he recently opened a company that specializes in financing."
"Wow, sounds like a rich and handsome man or a gifted person. But Dr. Yang, how do I say this. What do you want me to do? Beat him up? That's going to be a little bit of a hassle. Let's just use a reason where he entered your house with his left foot first. How about it?"
Yang Xue hit him, "I'm talking to you seriously. He came to invite me to attend our college's 100th anniversary. Do you think I should go?"
"Uh... why do you ask me?" with current Zhang Jue's mood, he would probably immediately start ranting about it. But thinking that it was a bit too much knowing what had happened recently, she seemed to have been caught in a bad mood.
Looking at her poor young and helpless look, Zhang Jue shrugged his shoulders habitually, "Anyway, it's our day off. It's the 100th celebration party, and I suggest you go for it. I mean, you'll only be able to attend this once in your lifetime."
Yang Xue looked at him, "Can you go with me?"
Zhang Jue pinched his chin, "If it's a college party, there should be a buffet. Which is a perfect moment to go and eat something delicious compared to the food in the Foundation's canteen, it's just too bad!"
-----
Three days later, Jiangzhou University.
The gongs and drums were played, and the firecrackers were fired to the sky.
Jiangzhou University is a first-class college in Jiangzhou City, founded exactly one hundred years ago. During this period, many alumni consist of dignitaries and celebrities. Many alumni from the college have returned to attend Jiangzhou University's centennial celebration ceremony.
"Take a look, Sister Xue. After your graduation, the college built two more libraries, new basketball courts, tennis courts, and do you remember when we sneaked into other club's venues at night to rehearse our theatre practice? Now our theatre club has its own rehearsal room."
Brother Shinjia, whose full name is Zhang Shijia, was a popular student at Jiangzhou University. His uncle was the vice president of Jiangzhou University, and he has also become the Minister of the Public Administration.
Zhang Shijia was talented and wealthy. He was single despite the fact that he had a lot of fans in the college. But no one knows that the person he has always had in mind is the youngest theatre club member. Because among all the girls, Yang Xue gave him the most extraordinary feeling.
Yang Xue was not that kind of soft girl; it was the opposite. She speaks and acts boldly will full content. Her eyes occasionally show bewilderment and helplessness - of course, Zhang Shijia does not know that she acted like this because she always worried about her father.
Unlike other girls, Yang Xue always treated him with a highhanded attitude, never granting him any private requests except for rehearsals. Like the plots of those cheap romance novels, this aroused Zhang Shijia's desire to be with her. The more reluctant Yang Xue cross paths with him, the more he wants to chase Yang Xue into his hands.
Several years have passed, and this has become his obsession. He even hired security guards in Yang Xue's neighborhood, and once Yang Xue came home, he would receive a message. This is also why he could so coincidentally "catch" Yang Xue and Zhang Jue at home.
The fact that Yang Xue had agreed to come to the school festival was a big surprise to him - although he thought she would decline the offer. But because of this, when he received Yang Xue's message, the fire in his heart was rekindled.
Was there a slight possibility that Yang Xue regretted it, that she was finally willing to say yes? He did not expect Yang Xue to come with someone he didn't recognize.
"I must say, Great Minister Shijia, can I make a suggestion to your school?" That abominable person said, "Your campus is so big and has so many facilities, but can you build a few more public toilets? I've been holding it all the time, and the food here is so salty-"
Zhang Shijia frowned. What a foul sight. How could Yang Xue have such a disgusting friend? What Zhang Shijia did not expect was that his sister, who had a serious expression all the time, snorted out a laugh when she heard his words.
Yang Xue gave him a fierce glance and said, "Like a lazy donkey on a mill."
This was a side of Yang Xue that Zhang Shijia had never seen before. He looked dumbfounded for a moment.
-----
At 9:30 AM, the invited celebrities and dignitaries from different alumnus entered one after another. The number of people who came to say hello to Zhang Shijia also increased.
His uncle was the vice president of this college, his father was a famous entrepreneur in Jiangzhou City, and he had all the connections to influential people in Jiangzhou City. Zhang Shijia himself was known as a famous person, talking and laughing to all the present guests.
"Yang Xue, I'm really sorry about that. As you can see, many guests attend this ceremony, and they are influential people. I can't help but to-"
Zhang Shijia was embarrassed, but his words were quite colorful. If not for the lack of time, he would have to do a Versailles-like speech on the spot.
"Don't mind about it." Yang Xue calmly said, "Brother Shijia, you have an important thing to do, and we're just going to mind our business here- Zhang Jue, please stop eating for a moment. You're distracting me!" The latter half of the sentence was about Zhang Jue, who was currently feasting on a plate of cupcakes, with a few crumbs stuck to the corner of his mouth.
The Foundation's breakfast was just a light congee, and he had already eaten enough, so he didn't eat much in the morning. Seeing the table next to the venue filled with delicate small food, he couldn't resist taking a plate.
In any way, he promised Yang Xue that he would come here just to fill his stomach and would eat anything available on the buffet. Zhang Shijia hated his face. Why does this person always be such troublesome for him?
The three of them continued to wander around the campus. Zhang Shijia still spared no effort to talk about his "achievements" over the years.
"Yang Xue, have you been watching the news lately?"
"Well... I haven't got the time to keep up with the news lately. "
"That's a shame, our school literature club helped a woman who was accused by her abusive husband, and she was backed by the big Woman Solidarity Movement with hundreds of thousands of likes. While also made an appearance on the local news TV program for thirty minutes."
"Brother Shijia, you are a famous doctor of literature in our school. What the just the literature club become, just because of your significant contribution to them. "
"Oh no no no, I just helped them from the background- you know, our literature club is different from other schools. We don't just write a screenplay and poetry. Under my leadership, they often helped some illiterate people. There is no shortage of literary excellence, and it should be passed down generation upon generation. "
"Pfft--" Zhang Jue said, who was eating something, was amused by the last two sentences that Zhang Shijia said and made him spurt some food out of his mouth.
Zhang Shinji was at his limit and could not hold back.
He frowned and said, "Mr. Zhang, you are a friend of Sister Yang Xue. You are new to the city and unfamiliar with the situation. I should not have said anything more, but I see that you are not young. You don't even have a house to live in, so it is best to listen more and read more, and think more seriously. Yang Xue is a doctor of biology. Her literature and drama performance was quite insightful. In our college years, we often discussed together, and we just discussed the major issues related to people's livelihood. You understand nothing, only interrupt others, and always look uncultured. Huh, I think I went too far. Although the words were not good, it's a fact, and Mr. Zhang, please don't blame me."
Zhang Shijia was worthy of a doctorate in literature, and the hidden message points in his words that seemingly looked like a casual conversation were quite a lot.
First of all, it was a lecture dedicated from the beginning: He shouldn't have said anything more. He must resist not saying it. Then he says that Zhang Jue was an adult who couldn't even afford a house and did not think about social improvement.
He pointed out that Yang Xue has a Ph.D. in biology, implying that the two of them are too far apart in terms of family and education and that he should not have any improper thoughts. The most important point was that they were discussing a major issue related to the people's livelihood and how it would benefit the people to a higher level of education.
As for Zhang Jue's lack of upbringing, he thought it was a casual "thoughtless remark." At the end of the day, It was a standard critique towards him personally after a lot of nonsense was thrown. In contrast, the words may not sound good. It was for his own good. He thought Zhang Jue deserved it.
This was a peasant level of words. Zhang Jue is just a normal human being, and even Yang Xue heard his words.
Unlike Zhang Jue, Yang Xue is not the kind of person willing to fancy her words around and what others say about her. She generally doesn't care. This was a sign of her main characteristics.
But Zhang Shijia's words, intentionally or unintentionally insulting Zhang Jue, were unacceptable. She knew better than anyone about what Zhang Jue had contributed lately.
The knowledge in Zhang Jue's head had contributed to the Foundation's research, which she doesn't know how much it values. He worked overtime night and day, and all the researchers were grateful to him. That Incident, if Zhang Jue hadn't saved the day, half of Jiangzhou City would have been flattened to the ground.
Due to the Foundation's confidentiality regulations, what Jue Zhang did could not be known to the public. But Zhang Jue's adventures, battles with the enemy, and life-and-death struggle with various anomalies. She witnessed it all, and she would not allow anyone to insult Zhang Jue this way.
Yang Xue's face gradually turned icy cold, "Senior Brother Shijia, how dare you say that?" with a serious expression, she continued, "Senior Brother Shijia, it is true that there are some people whose appearance is not as glamorous and spirited as yours. Who is more obscure and unknown, and who may not be able to have their names remembered by others until they die."
"But you can't deny their contribution to this world."
"They are diligent, lighten up the places you can't see, even putting themselves in dangerous situations."
"The reason you are able to talk and point out the world here is all because of their tireless efforts and sacrifice of life and death!"
"Brother Shijia, have you ever thought that. Perhaps, you have been saved by them again and again without knowing it."
Yang Xue looked at Zhang Shijia and suddenly felt that her senior was far less shallow than Zhang Jue.
She finally said, "I once heard a saying that I thought was very true."
"Weakness and ignorance are not the obstacles to survival. Arrogance is."
