We agreed not to date, so why are you crying now that I've become the richest man?

The third stop was Chen Xiulan's eldest sister's house.

My aunt's family is well-off, and my uncle is a leader in his workplace.

Last year, my cousin Zhang Pengfei got into a top-tier university in the province, and my aunt threw a 20-table banquet to celebrate his admission.

During that time, my aunt always walked with her chin held high, showing off to Chen Xiulan quite often.

Ye Jianguo rang the doorbell.

The aunt opened the door and saw Ye Jianguo; her enthusiasm was very perfunctory.

"Jianguo has arrived, come in."

In the living room, Zhang Pengfei was sitting on the sofa playing video games.

His new girlfriend, Linna, was sitting next to him.

When Ye Jianguo came in, Lin Na just glanced at him casually and didn't even greet him.

My aunt placed a glass of water on the coffee table, her tone carrying an air of superiority.

"Jianguo, what brings you here today? Chenchen's grades are out, right?"

"How did you do on the exam? Are you good enough to get into a junior college?"

"I heard the exam was difficult this year. Chenchen's grades are usually just average. I hope he won't even get into a junior college."

"If you don't have enough tuition fees, I can lend you two or three thousand. After all, Pengfei will be a sophomore soon, and his expenses will be high. There's not much I can do to help."

Ye Jianguo sneered inwardly as he listened to these sarcastic words.

With a calm expression, he took out the gold-embossed red invitation from his bag and gently placed it on the coffee table.

"Big sister, there's no need to borrow money. Chenchen's admission notice has arrived. We're having a celebration banquet on Sunday noon. Your family can come and join the fun."

The aunt paused for a moment, then casually picked up the invitation.

"They're really throwing a banquet? What school deserves such a big fuss..."

Before she could finish speaking, her gaze fell on the words on the invitation.

Auntie's voice suddenly rose eight octaves, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Shanghai Jiao Tong University?!"

Zhang Pengfei, who was playing a game, suddenly jerked his hand and dropped his phone on the ground.

He turned his head sharply, his eyes wide open.

"Mom, what did you say? Ye Chen got into Jiaotong University?"

Ye Jianguo grinned, revealing an extremely bright smile.

"Yeah, I was lucky. I got 663 points, the highest score in the whole school for science."

I applied to the Computer Science program at National Chiao Tung University.

The invitation in my aunt's hand fell directly onto the table.

Her facial expressions were incredibly varied, alternating between pale and flushed.

That arrogant attitude just now shattered on the spot.

Zhang Pengfei felt a buzzing in his head, and his defenses completely crumbled.

He only got into a regular university last year, and his whole family bragged about it for a whole year.

Now Ye Chen has directly become the top student in the entire school and entered a top 985 university.

This involved pressing his face directly to the ground and rubbing it violently.

Linna, the arrogant girlfriend in black stockings standing next to him, had her eyes light up at that moment.

The way she looked at Ye Jianguo now held an undisguised hint of ingratiation.

The future prospects of this top student in computer science at Jiaotong University are absolutely limitless.

Linna even took out her phone and spoke in a sweet, coquettish voice.

"Oh, Uncle Ye, Chenchen did so well on the exam. Let me add Chenchen's QQ number so I can look after him in Shanghai."

The aunt glared at Lin Na, and Lin Na sheepishly withdrew her hand.

Ye Jianguo felt very pleased to see the family's discomfiture.

He stood up, his back ramrod straight.

"Big sister, I still have a few more deliveries to make, so I won't stay any longer."

"Remember to come to the Great Wall Hotel on Sunday noon."

After saying that, Ye Jianguo walked out the door without looking back.

The aunt's family of three were left staring at each other in the living room, the atmosphere deathly silent.

After leaving his aunt's house, Ye Jianguo went straight to the factory.

During the lunch break, the workshop break room was filled with workers.

Liu Shun, who usually loves to make sarcastic remarks, was boasting with spittle flying everywhere.

"My son only got into a third-tier university, but at least he has a bachelor's degree! He's destined to work in an office!"

"Unlike Ye Chen from the Ye family, whose grades are usually just average, this time he might not even get into a junior college!"

Several of his fellow workers chimed in.

Ye Jianguo just happened to push the door open and walk in.

When Liu Shun saw Ye Jianguo, he deliberately raised his voice.

"Hey, Old Ye's here! We were just talking about your Chenchen. Have you checked his grades yet? Which junior college are you planning to go to?"

Ye Jianguo ignored him and walked directly to the table.

He slammed a dozen or so bright red invitations onto the table.

"Old Zhou, Old Ma, bring your families to the Great Wall Hotel for a light drink on Sunday noon."

Old Zhou curiously picked up an invitation and opened it.

Holy crap!

Old Zhou let out a loud scream that cracked his voice.

"Shanghai Jiao Tong University?! 663 points?!"

The lounge erupted in chaos.

Everyone crowded around, staring at the invitation.

"Old Ye, your son got first place in the whole school?!"

"This is a top-tier 985 university! Old Ye, you're going to be rich!"

Liu Shun's smile froze instantly.

He felt as if he had been slapped twice hard in public, his cheeks burning with pain.

His son's lousy third-tier university isn't even worthy of carrying shoes for Jiaotong University.

Just then, the factory manager came to inspect the workshop.

Hearing the commotion, the factory manager came over to find out what was going on.

The factory manager's son underperformed in the college entrance examination this year and failed to get into even a second-tier university. He's been holding back his anger with nowhere to vent it.

Seeing that the honest and unassuming Ye Jianguo had actually produced the top student in the entire school, the factory director immediately made a decision and announced it loudly.

"Old Ye, you've really given our factory manager a lot of credit! You've nurtured such a golden phoenix!"

"The factory has specially approved a bonus of 5,000 yuan for you! You'll also get three days of paid leave to prepare a proper celebration for your graduation!"

"Liu Shun! It's bad enough that you slack off at work, but you also have such a gossipy mouth!"

"My bonus will be deducted this month. I need to learn from Lao Ye how to raise children!"

Liu Shun was publicly reprimanded by the factory director and slunk away to a corner, not daring to utter a sound.

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Ye Jianguo was beaming with pride; he had never felt so triumphant in his life.

Home.

Chen Xiulan put the admission notice back into the envelope, but couldn't help taking it out to look at it again.

It's like protecting a family heirloom.

Ye Chen sat next to him, smiling like a carefree, sunny young man.

"Mom, you've read this eight times already. You've practically worn out the words from staring at it."

Chen Xiulan hugged the envelope to her chest.

"What do you know? This thing is just inspiring!"

Ye Chen smiled, stood up, and stretched.

"Alright, then you keep going. I'm going out to deliver an invitation to Teacher Liu."

Chen Xiulan immediately pulled out two boxes of tea with extremely high-end packaging.

"Take this! Your teacher has taught you for three years; you really deserve a proper thank you!"

Ye Chen looked at the two boxes of tea and shrugged helplessly.

He packed his things, went downstairs, got on his bicycle, and headed straight for Liu Haifeng's house.

Liu Haifeng lives in the school's staff quarters.

Ye Chen knocked on the door.

The door opened.

The person standing inside the door was not Liu Haifeng.

Instead, she was an extremely young and beautiful girl.

The girl's name is Liu Yue. She is Liu Haifeng's niece and has just graduated from university and is visiting relatives.

As Liu Yue wiped her sweat, she sized up the ordinary-looking boy outside the door.

Who are you looking for?
