Rebirth of the Best Businesswoman at School - Chapter 1408 - 1408 A New Start

1408 A New Start

Jian Ai looked at him and saw the anxious and flustered expression on his face, but she couldn’t feel any sympathy.

“I don’t think Mr. Jian has anything serious to talk about. If you want to chat, I won’t accompany you.” Jian Ai was as cold as usual. After saying this, she left Jian Changsheng with her back facing him and got into the car.

Jian Changsheng had nothing serious to talk about. He just wanted to have a chat with his daughter.

Seeing the car drive away in front of him, Jian Changsheng stood rooted to the ground with a heavy expression.

!!
In the car, Bai Zhou looked at Jian Ai through the rearview mirror and said, “After we raised our number plate at the auction just now, the Jian Group was the first to withdraw from the bidding.”

Jian Ai also looked up at Bai Zhou and snorted in disdain.

She naturally noticed that after East Sea Real Estate raised its bid, the Jian Group stopped bidding. They withdrew from the bidding earlier than Century Group.

“Whether or not he withdraws, this piece of land will be ours in the end. Even the Jian Group won’t spend two hundred million yuan on this piece of land,” Jian Ai told the truth.

Therefore, Jian Changsheng was not completely pretentious enough. He thought he was giving in to Jian Ai, but in fact, he could not change the outcome.

Moreover, this was a business world. The business world was like a battlefield. If the Jian Group wanted this piece of land, they could compete fairly. Jian Ai could even think highly of him.

Giving in? This virtue was not a good thing in the business world!

Bai Zhou nodded. That was indeed the case.

…

The next morning, Ji Haoyu’s call woke Jian Ai up.

“Not up yet?”

Ji Haoyu’s voice came from the other end of the phone with a smile.

Jian Ai was still in a daze. She buried her head in the pillow and replied incoherently, “Yes… what happened…”

Last night, she drank and chatted with Yun Buyao and Yu Wuyuan until the latter half of the night. She was still hungover.

“Do you want to have lunch together?” Ji Haoyu said, “I miss you.”

How mushy.

However, Jian Ai was happy to hear that.

“No, I have an appointment with Qinghuan and Lin Yi today,” Jian Ai said apologetically. “I can only make you miss me for another day.”

“Alright, go back to sleep.” Ji Haoyu did not force her. He knew that Jian Ai had to meet many people during this period.

After hanging up, Jian Ai’s sleepiness had already dissipated by half. She looked at the time. Good lord, it was half past ten in the morning.

Jian Ai sat up from the bed and rubbed her face hard. In the next second, she decisively went to the washroom to wash up.

Baiyun Commercial Building.

When Jian Ai arrived, everyone was there!

“Xiao Ai!!!”

As soon as they met, Xia Qinghuan excitedly pounced on her and hugged her tightly.

She almost strangled Jian Ai to death, and the latter quickly begged for mercy. “Sister, you’re too enthusiastic. Be gentler!”

Xia Qinghuan let go of Jian Ai and pretended to be angry as she punched her. “Wretched girl, you haven’t called me for two years. I thought you didn’t want us anymore!”

“I had no choice!” Jian Ai quickly nodded and admitted her mistake.

The others also surrounded her. Since old friends had reunited, inevitably, they would exchange pleasantries.

Everyone was as natural as before. Even though Jian Ai had left for two years, she did not seem to feel distant.

However, Jian Ai looked at everyone’s faces and felt that they had not changed, but there seemed to be some changes.

Guan Tao looked much more cheerful and confident.

Qinghuan’s entire aura changed. It was the result of her experience in the entertainment industry.

Gao Yang was still elegant and reserved, but his expression was no longer so monotonous.

Yan Tian had grown taller again and was thinner than two years ago. It was unknown if he had lost weight because he had grown taller.

As for Lin Yi… Jian Ai felt he hadn’t changed. His smile was still like the sun.

“All of you enrolled in a university in the capital?”

In the private room of the coffee shop, Jian Ai exclaimed in surprise.

The few of them couldn’t help but look at each other and smile. Qinghuan said, “We specially held a meeting to discuss this. Although everyone’s ambitions are different and we might not attend the same university, we can still be in the same city!”

Guan Tao also nodded. “I applied to Huaxia Beauty College. Gaoyang applied to Renmin University.”

Qinghuan said, “I naturally applied to Huaxia Film Academy. Yan Tian applied to Sports University!”

In the end, Lin Yi looked at Jian Ai and said slowly, “I’m the same as you. I’m going to Capital University.”

Jian Ai was overjoyed. She thought that everyone would have no choice but to go to various places after entering university. Usually, they could only gather during the holidays.

Unexpectedly, a few of them suppressed such a huge commotion and went to universities in the capital.

Everyone chose the top universities in various specializations. Fortunately, their results were not bad. After estimating their scores, they felt that there was no problem.

“Lin Yi worked hard for two years to get into Capital University. His hair was messy!” Xia Qinghuan said.

The others couldn’t help but laugh.

Lin Yi’s results were quite stable in his first year of high school. Ever since he was assigned to the same class as Jian Ai in the second year, his results had fluctuated.

Especially in the few city-wide exams, there was a vast difference in rankings with Jian Ai. Once, he almost fell out of the top one hundred in the city.

Lin Yi had once said that he wanted to get into Capital University with Jian Ai, so after that time, Lin Yi worked especially hard in his studies. Even though Jian Ai had left for two years, he had always remembered what he had said.

Therefore, he had worked very hard in the past two years as Qinghuan had said. He had also performed extremely well in the final college entrance examination and estimated that he had scored seven hundred and ten points.

It was more than twenty points higher than Jian Ai had estimated!

Lin Yi glanced at Jian Ai and lowered his head in embarrassment.

Did he still have an obsession with Jian Ai? Of course, he did. He had been thinking about her for the past two years.

However, Lin Yi knew what position he should be in, so he knew what to say even without Jian Ai saying it.

It was also because of this that the two of them became friends who talked about everything.

Friends were the identity Jian Ai gave him. Lin Yi happily accepted it.

Because not accepting it wouldn’t change anything. The only thing that could change was from having each other to losing each other.

Lin Yi didn’t want to lose Jian Ai, even if they were just friends.

Ten days later, the college entrance examination results were released.

Jian Ai successfully entered Capital University with six hundred and eighty-three points. She was only two points away from her estimation. Coupled with the bonus points from the Mathematical Olympiad competition, she ended up with seven hundred and three points.

Lin Yi’s total score was seven hundred and sixteen, and he was in the top fifty of Jin Province.

Gao Yang was the top scorer in science, with a total score of seven hundred and forty-three. He went on television that day.

With Guan Tao and Qinghuan’s results, it was naturally not a problem for them to enter their desired universities.

Yan Tian also scored six hundred and thirty-three points. This score was already considered a high score for entering Sports University.

At this point, the high school life of the six of them ended, and it was an extremely perfect ending.

Life was full of lofty aspirations. Everyone was about to reach another stage. That was a brand new starting point, and also a brand new world.

That place was called—

—the capital!
