That evening, Han Jinyu sent Zhang nglong a detailed spreadsheet, densely packed with over a hundred projects, all of which were the topics and main content of various teachers' research.
Han Jinyu was indeed very responsible, having estimated the expenses for each project, which altogether exceeded 30 billion Huaxia currency!
Including the previously promised instrunts, Zhang nglong had almost spent close to 10 billion US Dollars today!
"Should I consider visiting other schools next ti?" Zhang nglong pondered, but he imdiately abandoned the idea. He had his biases, after all, having graduated from Jiangnan University of Science and Technology, he really hoped his own school could continue to improve. If he invested in other schools, wouldn't that be creating competitors for their own scientific research?
"Co on, junior brother, have so milk tea!"
"Junior brother, are you tired? Rest for a while, I'll watch the equipnt for you!"
"Junior brother, are you free tonight? Your senior sister is treating you to dinner!"
After Zhang nglong's scientific research funds were received, Han Jinyu generously issued two months' worth of labor fees to his students.
Once they found out that the funding ca from Zhang nglong, he beca the darling of the entire research group.
As for literature reviews and experintal procedures, the senior brothers took care of all the detailed processes and explanations, sparing him the arduous task of reading and translating foreign literature.
And when it ca to the hours-long experints and tests, there was no need for Zhang nglong to lift a finger; the senior brothers and sisters were practically fighting to do it for him, even directly handling and analyzing the data for him.
While other students racked their brains over their theses and worked through the night on experints, Zhang nglong lay in the laboratory on a Taishi chair, drinking milk tea, watching the S10 World Championship, thoroughly relaxed and happy.
Of course, he still had to spend a lot of ti each day figuring out how to spend money. Naturally, playing gas with "Starbucks Double Sweet" was also an essential part of Zhang nglong's daily routine.
"Zhang nglong, didn't you say you'd start working on your graduation thesis in October? How do you still have ti to play gas with ?" The sa sweet voice sounded over the team chat.
"Have you ever seen a rich second-generation write their own thesis?"
"Rich second-generation, my foot! Last ti, I don't know who almost cried not getting through an interview here," the girl teased.
"Whoa, bro, my ego is shattered, don't spill it, all that's in the past."
"It's not even half a month yet, and it's already 'in the past'? But seriously, how's the job search going?"
"Stopped looking. I've inherited a few companies in my family, now I'm just living it up, never gonna work a day in my life!" laughed Zhang nglong, "Why don't you quit your job too? I can provide for you!"
"Get lost! Are you worthy?" the girl jibed with a laugh, "I only accept Hu Ge and Peng Yuyan. You, an engineering student, probably don't even have a hair on your head!"
"Dang, I was worried you might be so Auntie Qiao using a voice changer!"
"Zhang nglong, you're asking for it, I'll twist your head off! , a universally unparalleled beauty? Getting to play gas with
is the fortune of your last lifeti."
"Alright then, since that's the case, I'll co find you in Gusu in a few days; you've got to treat
to Haidilao at least, right?"
"Ah? You're coming?" The voice of "Starbucks Double Sweet" suddenly tensed up.
"What, not happy to see ?" Zhang nglong chuckled, "Or are you afraid that you can't hide your true self after we et in person?"
"Sure, co on over, as long as you're not afraid I'll harass you! I'm off to take a shower."
"Then I'll go turn on the cara in your bathroom."
"Hooligan!"
Zhang nglong smiled as he put down his phone, his heart brimming with anticipation. What kind of person was she, really? Was she exactly as he had imagined in his mind?
At that mont, Zhang nglong's phone rang, and upon seeing the caller ID, his body trembled slightly.
Wang Yujia—it was his roommate. Ever since the two of them had broken up, Zhang nglong had not been in contact with any of her friends or roommates.
"Hello? Wang Yujia? Is sothing the matter?" Zhang nglong tried his best to keep his voice calm.
"Siqi is getting married, this Saturday."
"Oh, really?" Zhang nglong had already thought of this possibility when picking up the phone, but upon hearing it firsthand, he couldn't help but clench his hand into a fist.
"Are you going? Siqi asked
to inform you. She said it was a promise you two made at the ti."
"Heh, have
attend the wedding just to humiliate
once more?" Zhang nglong scoffed coldly.
"If you're unwilling to go, then I'll just tell her..."
"No need, tell her I'll be there. I, Zhang nglong, am not soone who goes back on his word."
"Zhang nglong, are you really going?" Wang Yujia was rely the ssenger, but she had thought that Zhang nglong would never agree to go, yet to her surprise, he agreed so readily.
"I will be there on ti."
Zhang nglong promptly hung up the phone. His expression alternated between somber and tornted. No matter what one has been through, when hearing certain news, how could one remain entirely indifferent?
"Hey, see you in Gusu at the end of the month. If you stand
up, you're dead at. I'll co straight to Jiangnan City to whack you!" Seeing that ssage, Zhang nglong pictured a person he had never t before, as if in a flash, letting go of sothing, his whole deanor suddenly becoming much brighter.
"It's just the wedding of an ex-girlfriend, not a dragon's den or a tiger's cave. She's just soone who passed through my life," Zhang nglong realized at once.
Xie Siqi, Zhang nglong's ex-girlfriend and the only girlfriend he had ever had, they'd shared many beautiful mories and had even promised to attend each other's wedding, even if they didn't end up together in the end.
It seed that this was becoming a reality.
The story was actually quite simple. Xie Siqi's family background was not very strong, and starting from the sumr of her sophomore year, she began using all her spare ti to work part-ti jobs.
Last sumr, she worked at a mid-sized internet company operated by a certain family, not expecting that the son of the company's owner would take a fancy to her. At first, Xie Siqi stayed true to her heart, but as the man's persistent pursuit intensified, she finally wavered.
Not until Zhang nglong saw her getting off a Panara and kissing an unknown man at the dormitory did he understand what was ant by "I see raindrops falling on the fresh green grass."
That night was the first ti Zhang nglong had lost control of his emotions since elentary school.
He had confronted Xie Siqi once, but ended up being humiliated beyond recognition by her and the rich second-generation guy. Had his roommate not held him back, Zhang nglong might have lost it completely.
"Good. It's about ti to put an end to the past," Zhang nglong mused. He couldn't always let the past trap him. If he couldn't say goodbye to the past, how could he possibly welco the future?
"Hong Yi, co to my room for a bit, help
arrange so things."
