Chapter 276: Chapter 192: A Word Worth Ten Years of Your Struggle
The mid-September morning sun was bright and enchanting, as the night’s gentle drizzle had just cleared up, leaving the air cool and comfortable.
At Normal University, President Yang Jianguo accompanied a group of nearly a hundred people, who flocked around the young man at the center as they slowly walked towards the school’s main entrance.
At that mont, among the welcoming crowd, a well-dressed young man in his mid-twenties suddenly spoke up:
“Was that really Chu Mo just now? He’s changed so much. I used to play basketball with him back in the day.”
As soon as the man in the suit finished speaking, a pretty woman with tiny freckles on her nose nodded in agreent:
“He has changed a lot, so much more handso than before. If Chu Mo had looked this good back then, I would have chased after him ages ago; he’s not much worse than the biggest heartthrob in our school.”
But the man in the suit shook his head:
“Yin Jiajing, you might as well forget it. Didn’t you see the hotshot beside Chu Mo? What caliber of beauty is she? She looks like Chu Mo’s secretary. You see, rich people have their secretaries do the work, and when there’s nothing to do… heh heh.”
Before he could finish, Ling Yue interjected:
“Wang Tuo, stop being sour. Chu Mo donated a billion yuan to our alma mater this ti. Do you think berating him or stepping on him makes you a billionaire? Can you donate a billion yuan to our alma mater?”
“Exactly. If you’re so put off by soone’s competence, you donate a billion yuan. But I don’t think there’s hope for you in this lifeti. Didn’t you just get a raise last month? I saw you bragging in the group chat about your monthly salary exceeding ten thousand?
At your rate, let’s say you save a hundred thousand a year after covering food and drink. That’s a million in ten years, ten million in a hundred years. You’d need to save for ten thousand years to have even the slightest fraction of what Chu Mo has…”
The girl nad Yin Jiajing rolled her eyes, and the man in the suit chuckled awkwardly, noticing his old classmates looking at him with amusent, he, the newly over-ten-thousand-a-month junior departnt head, visibly shrank back.
He had only heard that one of their fellow graduates was donating money to the alma mater and was curious. Plus, having just received a promotion and pay raise, he wanted to show face among his classmates. He had no idea Chu Mo had just donated a billion yuan all at once.
Seeing how much the alma mater valued this, with even Principal Yang personally welcoming at the school gates, Wang Tuo didn’t doubt the truth of it but just regretted speaking too much.
“Chu Mo once posted a photo of a mansion maid on his social dia, at the ti we all discussed in the group and mocked the picture for being photoshopped, laughing about it for a long ti. But he never paid any attention to it. Now it seems like he couldn’t be bothered dealing with us all… There’s a whole different set of levels between us.”
As soone softly lanted, a dozen or so classmates’ expressions beca complicated.
Watching the crowd surrounding Chu Mo about to disappear from view, the girl nad Yin Jiajing suddenly spoke to a refined-looking girl next to her:
“Du Yanyan, I rember you once said in the group chat that you t Chu Mo at Bafang International Hotel and he treated you to lobsters. Didn’t any sparks fly between you two?”
Hearing this, Du Yanyan, dressed in a black mini skirt and stockings, looked sowhat helpless. Indeed, she had t Chu Mo at Bafang International Hotel and dined with him at Bafang International; she even had an exclusive experience card from Bafang International in her possession.
However, unfortunately for her, despite her hints that night, Chu Mo had ultimately refused. This was sothing Du Yanyan still regretted.
Seeing all her old classmates looking at her, Du Yanyan, once the big class leader, shrugged and openly admitted:
“I t Chu Mo at Bafang International Hotel over two months ago. You might not be aware that the Bafang International Hotel is owned by Chu Mo’s family, and the hotel itself is worth over ten billion yuan…
That’s right, Xu Shu, aren’t you pursuing postgraduate studies at school? You’re working as a counselor but not a formal one, with no real prospects. If you could get Chu Mo to put in a word for you with Principal Yang, you would definitely get a position on the faculty.
You could beco a lecturer, even a professor in the future. With just a word from Chu Mo, you could skip five to ten years of hard work. I’m not joking; the opportunity is right in front of you, and you should seize it.”
As the big class leader, Du Yanyan finished, the girl with shoulder-length hair beside her hesitated slightly. She and Chu Mo had been classmates, but she had been focused on staying at school, putting all her efforts into her studies.
She had her ti in the sun as the student council president, but she hadn’t had much to do with Chu Mo. The idea of suddenly asking for a favor now felt a bit too much for Xu Shu.
She wavered slightly and said softly,
“I don’t know… it doesn’t seem right, Chu Mo and I aren’t close. We never even spoke in college…”
At her words, Du Yanyan imdiately grabbed her hand and, while chasing after the crowd ahead, earnestly said:
“Chu Mo is actually easy to get along with. He’s not like those rich types who like to put on airs; he’s very personable. We are all classmates. If we had no influence, that would be one thing, but now that we have the ans, it’s right to support each other. Besides, for Chu Mo, this is just a small favor. I’ll go with you.”
