After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 241 Xu Lin's Changes in Mindset

After watching the sunrise, Xu Lin and Rong Xiyan spent most of the day playing elsewhere.

Actually, it was just two girls playing together. A guy like Xu Lin wouldn't even be interested in going shopping, let alone playing together.

I finally made it to 2 p.m.

Xu Lin had just driven them home.

Today is Sunday, and they all have to go back to school for a class meeting tonight.

At four o'clock.

Xia Xiyao had finished showering and changed into a new outfit.

She wore a short-sleeved, off-the-shoulder top and had long, wavy hair that fell down her back; she looked very pretty.

The pants are a trendy pair of denim shorts.

These super short shorts, in addition to the normal pant legs, also have a bodycon skirt on the outside, with the skirt hem sloping down from the upper left to the lower right. Overall, the design looks quite trendy.

"Xu Lin, am I good-looking?"

Xia Xiyao, barefoot, twirled in front of Xu Lin on the wooden floor.

"not bad."

"Sexy!"

Rong Xiyan said something as she passed by Xia Xiyao and slapped Xia Xiyao's butt.

There was a snap.

"Rong Xiyan, you're the most seductive one!"

Xia Xiyao was not satisfied and slapped the other person's butt in return.

Because Rong Xiyan had just finished showering, she was wearing underwear that didn't cover her entire buttocks.

It's worth noting that Rong Xiyan has a rather large butt, the kind of big butt that all girls online dream of after working out, shaping their bodies, or even getting plastic surgery. But it's not deformed; in short, it's both big and beautiful. Rong Xiyan has this kind of top-tier natural talent.

As a result, the underwear she wore couldn't even completely cover her buttocks.

Xia Xiyao slapped her across the face.

"Rong Xiyan, you damned bastard!"

"Xia Xiyao, you're the one who's so slutty!"

"Everyone knows who's the most flamboyant!"

For a moment, the two girls started joking around happily.

Xu Lin was playing on his phone when it got to 4:30.

Xu Lin spoke up: "Alright, Yao Yao, I'll take you back to school."

"Oh!"

"Xi Yan, stop fooling around, I'm going back."

"Hmph, fine, Xu Lin, buy me a milk tea when you come back later!"

"Ok."

Xia Xiyao straightened her clothes, picked up her bag, and followed Xu Lin to the entrance to put on her shoes.

Her shoes today were a pair of black platform shoes with a rather niche but very cool design.

After putting it on, combined with Xia Xiyao's outfit today, the overall look was very cool.

Xia Xiyao has a certain style, a cool and edgy look.

After entering the elevator.

The elevator doors are the kind with mirrors, so you can see yourself clearly.

On a whim, Xia Xiyao held Xu Lin's hand with one hand, snuggled up to him, and took a photo with her phone in the other.

Click.

Xia Xiyao was very satisfied with the group photo.

"Xu Lin, take a look, isn't the photo nice?"

"It feels a bit lacking."

"Then I'll take one more!"

Xia Xiyao thought for a moment, then put her arm around Xu Lin's shoulder and took a bad girl-style photo together.

What about this one?

"It's pretty good." Xu Lin felt that Xia Xiyao had more personality in the group photo, and it suited her style better.

"I think it's great too!"

She's even considering getting the profile picture and wallpaper.

However, she was also afraid that Rong Xiyan would find out.

"Xu Lin, what if Xi Yan finds out about us?"

Xia Xiyao suddenly thought of this and felt a little uneasy.

"If you know, you know."

Xu Lin didn't care.

"What if Xiyan gets angry?"

"That's a matter for the future."

Xu Lin's mindset has changed quite a bit.

He's already come this far; if he can't even handle a few women, then he might as well give up.

If a man is very capable, the women around him won't care how many women he has.

This sentence has a bulldozing feel to it.

But that's just how the world is.

Genghis Khan's Golden Family has more than ten million people worldwide who share his bloodline, and his descendants are proud to be his descendants.

why?
Because we can see what kind of amazing person Genghis Khan was in history. Just to name one thing, he built a vast empire with territory spanning Eurasia. In terms of warfare, the Golden Family conquered wherever they went and left behind a large number of descendants.

Men like Genghis Khan are what we call male leaders, possessing the strongest genes at the genetic level.

If one's ancestors were a powerful ruler who conquered vast territories, it is impossible for their descendants not to feel proud.

Everyone has ancestors to be proud of. For example, some people say that their ancestors produced scholars who passed the imperial examinations, those who passed the provincial examinations, and high-ranking officials. This kind of thing happens all over the world.

As Xu Lin went further and further away, his mentality also changed. Damn it, if he can't even handle a few women, he really shouldn't be in this business. He's like the character Zhen Huan from the TV series "Empresses in the Palace".

Soon, the two arrived at the underground parking garage.

Xia Xiyao thought Xu Lin was going to drive an electric car, so she walked towards the electric car.

Where are you going? This way.

"Ah, here it comes!"

Xia Xiyao followed Xu Lin to Da Niu's place.

Xu Lin hadn't driven for a while, so he was the one driving this car. Rong Xiyan couldn't drive; she could only drive a Panamera at most because she didn't like supercars.

Rong Xiyan comes from a good family. Although her family connections are not good, it is undeniable that her family is very wealthy. Her younger brother owns a supercar, but Rong Xiyan says that supercars are too noisy, so she doesn't like them.

"Damn, we're almost out of gas. We'll have to go get some later."

Xu Lin sat in the driver's seat, and Xia Xiyao sat in the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt.

"Xu Lin, may I take a picture?"

"Go ahead and take the picture."

Xu Lin didn't care about being photographed.

Actually, Xia Xiyao is a little vain, just a tiny bit.

It would be abnormal for a girl not to have vanity. Besides, it's not just girls, it's the same for both men and women.

A person without vanity is either very wealthy or has a rich inner world.

Xia Xiyao is only eighteen years old. Her family is middle class, neither rich nor poor.

"Sit down."

"Okay, sit down."

Xu Lin closed the car window. He wasn't the type to want everyone to know him just because he drove a supercar. Then, someone passing by took a picture of them and posted it online. The comments section said, "What troubles could a rich guy like him have?" Then someone else said, "Is this a rented car?"

He remembered going to the ball with Pei Danqing that day; none of those rich kids had that kind of stupid, spoiled air about them.

Xu Lin knew that the human world had different dimensions. Those powerful families wouldn't raise a useless child and let their family's glory end in this generation. If this lineage was ruined, wouldn't there be other lines? In short, his family had to continue to be passed down.

Xu stopped to refuel halfway through the journey.

Around 5 o'clock, Xu Lin drove his car to the entrance of Xia Xiyao's school.

This time he didn't go in.

"Alright, that's enough for now!"

"OK!"

Xia Xiyao unbuckled her seatbelt and climbed onto Xu Lin.

"Brother, kiss!"

As she spoke, Xia Xiyao took the initiative to kiss her.

Xu Lin kissed her for a while. "Okay, let's go back now, I need to go back too."

"Okay, goodbye brother!"

"it is good."

After Xia Xiyao got out of the car, Xu Lin said goodbye again and left first.

Xia Xiyao would wait until his car disappeared before going inside.

Xia Xiyao then happily returned to school.

When she entered the school, it was already past five o'clock, the time when students were returning to school, so many people saw Xia Xiyao getting out of a top-of-the-line supercar.

As a result, people began to look at Xia Xiyao differently.

Some people felt sorry for her because such a beautiful girl got out of a supercar. Who is the owner? He must be a rich second-generation heir. These rich second-generation heirs change women like they change clothes. Once the rich guy gets tired of her, this girl will definitely be discarded. And the girl is so happy now. She'll have her regrets later. So some people felt sorry for her, even disappointed. How could you be so self-degrading? How could you be so vain?

Of course, some people are envious. Pretty girls envy Xia Xiyao for being able to hook up with a top-tier rich guy, while boys envy the rich guy for having such a rare gem, or rather, having the youth and everything that countless pretty girls have.

In short, all kinds of people exist.

This is a restless world, a restless city. People on the outside look at the extravagant lifestyles of those inside, while they themselves are empty-handed, unable to even afford a weekend rest, and eating junk takeout. In the summer, they have to worry about energy consumption when turning on the air conditioner. If they encounter a bad landlord, the air conditioner will have a level 5 energy consumption rating, and in the summer, the house will be as hot as a steamer, so they can only turn on the fan. The disparity between the world and the city is too great.

Xia Xiyao had no idea what others were thinking.

However, if she knew, she would definitely refute it.

Because Xu Linzhen is not that kind of person.

Xia Xiyao likes Xu Lin very much, but what does she like about Xu Lin?
Xia Xiyao had thought about this question roughly.

Xu Lin is handsome, talented, and possesses a unique masculine charm. He's like a primal male leader who can guide her. That's why Xia Xiyao is infatuated with Xu Lin. In private, Xia Xiyao calls Xu Lin "brother." This "brother" isn't a blood-related brother, nor is it a brother for romantic reasons. Rather, it's because Xia Xiyao feels that Xu Lin can guide her, and she admires him. It's an instinct, so there's a special meaning behind Xia Xiyao calling Xu Lin "brother."

On the other side, Xu Lin got off the bus midway and bought a cup of milk tea.

Rong Xiyan wanted it.

The class meeting was held in the evening, and everything was the same as usual.

Monday arrived.

After the PE teacher took attendance, Xu Lin slipped away and went to the outside of the principal's office.

Today, Xu Lin was dressed casually in short sleeves and trousers, nothing special.

Xu Lin straightened his clothes and hair, and even went to the restroom to wash his face before leaving the stadium.

When traveling, respect the clothes first, then respect the person.

Before entering, Xu Lin activated two buffs.

A dragon among men, possessing an imposing presence even without anger.

Anyone who has been a student knows that students are generally reserved when facing high-ranking school leaders. The same applies when facing higher-ranking leaders at work. Many people cannot avoid this because their personal achievements or family background are not enough to give them the confidence to face high-ranking figures who are far superior to them.

For example, before entering, they might knock gently on the door, and then perhaps nervously call out, "Is anyone home?"

After waiting for someone to answer, he cautiously opened the door and went inside.

Xu Lin then naturally knocked on the door.

"Please come in!"

The principal's voice came through.

Xu Lin pushed open the door and entered.

What did he see in the principal's office the moment he opened the door?
To the right of the entrance, there is a square coffee table, with four single sofas facing each other.

Next, in the other direction, is the principal's desk, a long table, where the principal sits.

On the wall behind the principal hangs a plaque with the traditional Chinese characters "宁静致远" (Ning Jing Zhi Yuan) written in running script.

This seems to be an inevitable path for every middle-aged man, such as the concepts of tranquility leading to far-reaching goals, diligence being rewarded by Heaven, and the highest good being like water.

Xu Lin saw the principal look up at him and was about to ask his name and what he wanted to do there.

But after a moment of surprise, the principal said, "I remember you. Your name is Xu Lin, right? Xu Lin from the first-year economics class?"

Xu Lin was stunned for a moment, not expecting the other party to recognize him.

The president of the University of Finance and Economics holds the administrative rank of a department-level official. Given that he is the president of a prestigious university like the University of Finance and Economics, it's hard to say how many influential figures he can summon with a single phone call.

In other words, he was incredibly busy, yet he still remembered a student, which surprised Xu Lin.

The last time Xu Lin met him was at the opening ceremony of the previous semester.

But in fact, what does the principal see from his perspective?
Just now, Xu Lin pushed open the door and entered, and the principal subconsciously looked up.

A boy who looked extraordinary to the naked eye walked in.

This feeling is too strange. The principal is almost fifty years old, half a lifetime has passed, and he has seen all kinds of people in his position.
Once, when he went to the capital for a meeting, he met the highest-ranking official, No.1, who was giving a meeting to them.

As a result, the principal met all sorts of important figures.

He could count the number of people like Xu Lin he had met on one hand.

Besides, he's just a young man.

Li Yunfei quickly recognized Xu Lin. He remembered that this boy was the one he had high hopes for at last year's freshman ceremony.

At the time, he was dressed in a suit and had a unique temperament. Li Yunfei even commented, "Like a jade tree on a jade steps, such a person is rare in the world."

Li Yunfei felt at the time that this boy had the temperament of a fine orchid and a jade tree, and would be extraordinary in the future.

Later, as life rushed by, he no longer remembered the boy.

Now that the boy has reappeared, he suddenly remembered him again.

"Principal, it's me!"

Xu Lin nodded.

"Xu Lin, please have a seat. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Li Yunfei pointed to the seat opposite him, where Xu Linzhao sat, the two facing each other.

"It's like this, I'll be quite busy in the future and will need to take leave frequently, so I hope the school can be lenient..."

Xu Lin then talked about his achievements and what he had been doing recently.

He didn't hide anything. To be honest, his current achievements are nothing compared to those truly outstanding big shots who graduated from the University of Finance and Economics. Graduates from the University of Finance and Economics are found in both the political and business worlds.

Many uneducated people believe that they can become rich and powerful in the future without studying. Such idiots don't even realize how many important figures in the country are graduates of prestigious universities. Survivorship bias is not worth discussing at all.

"Oh, so you're Mr. Xu?"

Li Yunfei was surprised. His youngest daughter was in her first year of high school. Once, his daughter told him, "Dad, this Mr. Xu is from your school. I want to go to the University of Finance and Economics in the future."

Li Yunfei was very busy at the time and didn't pay much attention to it.

Now, thanks to Xu Lin's suggestion, everything has come together.

In fact, the name Mr. Xu already carries considerable weight among middle school students.

This world will always sing the praises of heroes emerging from among the young, because people will always hope to achieve success at a young age, and people will always hope that they can have everything they have in their forties or fifties when they are in their twenties or twenties.

To drive a Ferrari at the age of twenty—what a sense of pride and dominance that must have been!
This is true all over the world, regardless of nationality or race.

Thus, the words "Mr. Xu," "eighteen years old," "major financial university," "extraordinarily talented," and "billion-dollar copyright" are all impacting the nerves of countless people.

People are wondering, what kind of person is this Mr. Xu?

"Yes, it's me."

"Xu Lin, please sit here!"

The principal stood up and beckoned Xu Lin to the coffee table. The two sat down, not facing each other, but with Xu Lin to his side.

"Let's have a good talk. Our school has never had such an accomplished young person before!"

Li Yunfei said with a smile: "Actually, although our school is full of talented people and there are many who have started their own businesses during their university years, almost all of them rely on external forces, such as family resources. It is difficult for anyone to rise up on their own. To put it more bluntly, our school cannot produce grassroots figures. Without the support of their families, we young people have to take many detours."

The principal mentioned that the school has student entrepreneurship projects, and they value student entrepreneurship and provide great support. However, the survival rate of student entrepreneurship projects within five years, that is, those that are still around after five years, is less than one percent.

Many projects don't even last three years. Many young people who start out full of ambition end up leaving with regret. Some regain their confidence and continue, but most succumb to reality and fall into despair. Their ambition fades with age, and they can never be as spirited as before.

In fact, even among top-tier universities, the vast majority of students end up working, with only a small percentage becoming pillars of society, climbing to the middle class, and becoming part of the middle class.

As for breaking through the limiter and surpassing the middle class, that's incredibly difficult, and extremely rare.

The essence of society is that those who have vested interests protect their vested interests. In other words, if you want to rise to the top, they won't let you; they'll crush you as soon as you show any promise.

Li Yunfei and Xu Lin talked for a long time.

Finally, returning to Xu Lin: "I've lived half my life, and this is the first time I've seen someone like you who has reached this point solely through your own efforts, especially since you're not even twenty years old!"

He remembered what his youngest daughter had said about how amazing this Mr. Xu was, selling copyrights for astronomical prices, with one book selling for 100 million yuan.

But do you think he's a writer?
wrong.

They've already made it in the entertainment industry, and they're quite successful.

This is a young man of extraordinary talent, who, through his own great strength, has reached a level that ordinary people cannot achieve in their entire lives.

Xu Lin didn't feign modesty and say "You flatter me," but instead said directly, "This is just the beginning. I will go very, very far in the future."

Xu Lin has moments of humility, but he won't be humble all the time. Sometimes, he needs to show his edge. He's only eighteen, the age when he's most spirited and ambitious. If some old-fashioned person were to tell him to be humble, to go on and on, saying that being young and accomplished isn't a good thing, or that he needs to mature, Xu Lin would slap them across the face. His life will move forward without hesitation. Xu Lin has already unlocked his limits. He's facing an incredibly bright future, so how could he possibly stop?

"Great! I have high hopes for you, and I hope that our university will be proud of you in the future!"

The principal laughed heartily, having high expectations for Xu Lin.

Xu Lin's leave of absence was thus resolved.

Basically, it means he won't need to ask for leave anymore; he can come whenever he wants, and the school won't record his absences or anything like that.

Rules are made for ordinary people. For someone like Xu Lin, who has a bright future and has already made great achievements, the school has always given him the green light.
