Chapter 2671 Different Dreams (First Update, Please Subscribe)
The morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting dappled patterns of light into the bedroom.

What are you willing to sacrifice to achieve your dreams?

Sitting in front of the dressing table, Liang Jiahui looked at herself in the mirror and asked softly.

The girl in the mirror has curved eyebrows and radiant skin. Her title as the future star beauty pageant winner two years ago is now a thing of the past.

But this didn't detract from the girl's beauty. At seventeen, she hadn't completely shed her childishness, yet she already possessed a beauty beyond her years. She gently patted her cheeks in front of the mirror, applied a touch of light lipstick, and playfully pouted her lips. A bright smile flashed across her face, and her eyes sparkled.

"Of course, we need to work even harder!"

This is not an empty slogan. From the moment she stepped onto the beauty pageant stage and won the crown of Future Star, Liang Jia Hui knew clearly that every step she took had to pave the way for her established goals.

For her, the glory of being a beauty pageant winner was never something to boast about, but rather a carefully paved ticket—a ticket to Dehui Girls' School!
Dehui Girls' School is the best girls' school in the world, and it is extremely difficult to get in. Even if you have money, you can't get in, let alone someone from an ordinary family. Although her father was willing to pay the tuition, heaven knows that it's not just about the tuition.

Only with that honor could she open the door to Dehui Girls' School and then gain the qualification to enter the top Lantai Women's University. This was the closest path she could take to her dream.

To hold onto this "ticket," Liang Jiahui worked harder than anyone else.

After winning the championship, her agency arranged numerous commercial performances and endorsement activities for her, with generous compensation enough to help her and her family escape their predicament.

However, aside from the necessary publicity required by the company, she turned down almost all commercial performance invitations, always citing "busy studies and needing to focus on her studies" as the reason for her refusal.

Her agent had also advised her to capitalize on her popularity and make more money, but Liang Jia Hui remained steadfast:
"Money can be earned later, but the opportunity to enter Lantai Women's University only comes once."

She knew better than anyone that the acceptance rate for Lantai Women's University was extremely low. Even graduates of Dehui Girls' School had to fight tooth and nail to get in, and only about 10% of them had the chance. Of those, at least half were admitted because of their family background.

Therefore, coming from an ordinary family, she had no room to slack off.

Therefore, even though she became a "rising star," Liang Jiahui did not enter the film industry and become an actress like other "rising stars."

Instead, he continued to be a high school student, spending all his time at school and in the library.

Under the desk lamp late at night, she would study textbooks and organize her notes. Occasionally, when she got tired, she would look up and see the Lantai Women's University emblem on the wall, and her strength would be fully restored.

She showed no signs of being a "rising star," and devoted all her energy to her studies, all in order to achieve the leap "from Dehui Girls' School to Lantai Women's University."

As for the glory of being a beauty pageant winner, it gradually faded in the process. Only heaven knows how many times she resolutely chose to resist temptation during this time.

Why not become an actor?

Why did you choose to become an actor?

Like a mother?
I'm not interested!

Of course, if possible, Liang Jiahui hopes to become a scientist like her stepfather, but she's not good at math!

no way.

Since her mother got together with her stepfather, Liang Jiahui has been deeply influenced by him. After all, her mother was not good at education, while her father was not only a scientist, but also had his own methods for educating children.

It was under her stepfather's guidance that she embarked on a different path.

The path of a female academic superstar.

No, I'm not a top student.

My grades are just average, but I still have a chance to get into Lantai Women's University, after all, I was a beauty pageant winner.

With the added advantages of being a beauty pageant winner and attending Dehui Girls' High School, getting into Lantai Girls' University will be no problem.

"Where will you go after graduating from Lantai Women's University?"

Liang Jia Hui's lips curled up, and a determined light shone in her eyes:

"Of course, we'll go to the official residence."

This is a secret she has kept hidden in her heart for many years, and it is the ultimate goal that has supported her all the way forward.

Several tens of minutes later, Liang Jiahui, dressed in a Tang suit, walked into the official residence, holding the hand of her younger sister Liang Meilin.

This is the center of national power. The gray-blue Tang-style modern building is magnificent. Oil paintings hang on both sides of the inner corridor. Most of the paintings depict historical events, from North Africa to France, from Bastogne to Borneo, from Borneo to Tokyo... Of course, many more depict the process of people overcoming obstacles to create the equatorial miracle.

All the oil paintings depict the history of this land and its rise.

Like other tourists, Liang Jiahui slowed down, but her gaze was not just curious or appreciative.

More than anything, she was scrutinizing and yearning. She carefully examined every detail, from the layout of the office area to the staff's attire, silently memorizing them, as if she had already regarded this place as her future workplace.

Her younger sister, Meilin, held her hand tightly, her big eyes curiously scanning their surroundings, occasionally letting out soft gasps of amazement. After a while, when they arrived at the non-visit area and saw the Secret Service agents in black suits, she couldn't help but tilt her head back and ask:

"Sister, will we be able to see His Excellency today?"

Liang Jiahui looked down at her younger sister's youthful face, which was even more beautiful than her own, smiled gently, and said:
"Not today, but definitely in the future."

"Why later?" Meilin tilted her head, her face full of confusion.

Liang Jiahui raised her hand and gently stroked her younger sister's hair, her gaze returning to the direction of the gentleman's office not far away. Her beautiful eyes gleamed with an undisguised longing and light, her voice carrying an undeniable firmness:
"Because I will be working here in the future."

These words were spoken softly, yet they sounded like a promise to her younger sister, and even more like encouragement to herself, since she would be applying to university next year.

That will be the most important step.

This longing took deep root in her heart when she first visited the official residence as a child as part of a school activity.

At that time, standing in the crowd, looking at the solemn building and watching the staff in formal attire coming and going, a seed was planted in her heart—she also wanted to become a member of this place.

Sometimes, people's dreams are really strange. You don't know when, how, or what kind of career you choose for your future.

In fact, most people feel lost during adolescence. At seventeen or eighteen, the vast majority of people still haven't clearly figured out what kind of person they are.

What are my strengths and weaknesses?

What major do you want to study in the future?
What kind of career do you want to pursue?
But sometimes, some people find their own path in life.

The younger sister looked at her older sister with a mixture of understanding and confusion, observing the older sister's earnest expression.

She nodded vigorously, her small hand gripping Liang Jia Hui's hand tightly, and said with certainty:
"Yes! My sister is the best! I believe you can definitely work here! But, could you bring me with you then? I'd like to see you too..."

Liang Jiahui was amused by her younger sister's words. She wanted to see him, thinking that he was anyone she could see whenever she wanted.

At this moment, Liang Jiahui heard her younger sister ask again:

"By the way, sis, what kind of job do you want to do here?"

Hearing her younger sister's question, and remembering the sounds coming from that room when she passed by earlier, Liang Jiahui's eyes lit up. She took her younger sister's hand and said:

"Come on, little sister, I'll take you there to have a look."

They then walked along the corridor toward an area they had passed earlier, and soon they arrived outside a room that was also a visitor area, which they had just walked through.

However, because it was in use, I couldn't go inside for a visit; I only took a peek from the outside.

"Sister, what's this...?"

As soon as her younger sister opened her mouth, Liang Jiahui hesitated and said:

"Don't speak."

Then, she and her younger sister went into the room together.

The room was about the size of a classroom, and it was full of people, with cameras scattered around the back.

This is the press room of the Prime Minister's Residence, where the spokesperson is currently issuing a press release and answering reporters' questions.

"..."

Looking at the press spokesperson under the lights, looking at him standing in front of that blue curtain, with the double star emblem behind him.

At this moment, that spokesperson is the focus of the world's attention.

This is also the position that Leung Ka-wai desires. She longs to stand there, representing the Official Residence to issue press releases and answer reporters' questions.

Even now, Liang Jiahui still remembers the first time she visited the official residence. When she came to this office, it wasn't in use that day, so they were able to imitate a spokesperson, stand on the stage to speak, and answer "reporters'" questions.

From that day on, he found what he wanted to do—enter the official residence and become its spokesperson.

She stood in the corner of the office, holding her younger sister's hand, her eyes fixed straight ahead, filled with longing.

No one noticed the sisters in this corner; they just stood there, the girl's eyes filled with longing for her ideals.

"...So, may I ask, during the Thang Long's special envoy's visit to Moscow, he received a grand welcome. Brezhnev stated that peace is extremely precious, and he hopes that peace in Southeast Asia is closely related to world peace. Therefore, he hopes to mediate. What is the official residence's attitude towards Moscow's mediation? Will negotiations with Thang Long be initiated?"

Listening to the reporter's question, Liang Jiahui, who was standing in the corner, turned her gaze to the spokesperson, and then the spokesperson's voice rang out.

"No one values ​​peace more than we do. We are willing to negotiate peace with anyone, anytime, anywhere, but only if the other party demonstrates sufficient sincerity toward peace."

The spokesperson's words left the reporters present in utter shock, as the response clearly told the world that they rejected Moscow's mediation.

"Now that Moscow has stepped in to mediate, isn't this the best time to end the war?"

For a moment, the entire press conference was in chaos. Everyone had questions and wanted to ask questions. They simply couldn't understand why the official residence would refuse Moscow's mediation. What reasons led them to make this decision?

In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on the spokesperson, who seemed to be the center of the world at that moment.

The girl standing in the corner, holding her younger sister's hand, looked longingly at that spot...
