Chapter 644: Chapter 644

"Who the hell is Lei Duo?" Liu Zhizhong pretended not to know, tidying up as he asked.

Qian Xuan looked down to grab a cigarette, then gave Liu Zhizhong a look, "Smart as you are, you can be so dumb! Lei Duo is, of course, Feng Xiaoyue's husband, that paraplegic waste!"

"Uh... oh, hehe, that's him?"

Liu Zhizhong took the cigarette Qian Xuan passed to him, lit it for Qian first, then lit his own.

He packed up the last of the things, wiped down the table, and started brewing tea.

"Ever since we were kids, I played with Xiaoyue and Lei Duo, went to school with them, and then went on to university together. Back then, Lei Duo and I, we both had a crush on Xiaoyue, heh heh..."

Liu Zhizhong chuckled, stirring the tea as he said, "Childhood sweethearts, innocent love, huh!"

"Bullshit, it was childhood three-way crush, haha..."

"Xiang Shadia, that fool, came here on a family trip in high school, and that was the first time we met. By then, it was four kids with no idea. When we got to college and puberty hit, it turned into a three-guys-one-girl free-for-all, sigh..."

Qian Xuan shook his head, deeply inhaled a puff of smoke, his face bitter, with occasional sparks of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

Starlight Moonlight on his face, Qian the Pervert seemed more normalized after getting drunk, with a bit more human touch.

"So, what happened next?" asked Liu Zhizhong.

"Then, neither Xiang Shadia nor I ever imagined that Feng Xiaoyue would marry that idiot, that waste Lei Duo! Do you know how he got paralyzed?"

Liu Zhizhong's eyes shone, "A story?"

"An accident, heh heh..."

Qian Xuan grinned, somewhat sinister, with a hint of schadenfreude.

Liu Zhizhong's curiosity surged, quietly excited, the truth was about to unfold––

Sure enough, Qian Xuan continued, "Lei Duo was always a pretty lousy playboy, loving to screw around. In comparison, Xiang Shadia was still much better."

"Xiang Shadia is pretty smart, studied five majors in university, got five bachelor's degrees in four years. Of course, heh heh..."

Qian Xuan smirked arrogantly, with an air of disdain, "With our status, you can guess, it's very mysterious and very powerful, terrifyingly so, right?"

Liu Zhizhong gave a silent chuckle, nodded, then said, "That's for sure. Just hanging out with Mr. Xuan in the past, I always felt like I was about to piss myself. Being with people from your circle, we've got to tread lightly, walk on thin ice, one wrong step and it's game over for your life!"

Qian Xuan laughed crazily, as if he reveled in his madness, then calmed down again, nodding appreciatively.

Liu Zhizhong passed over the brewed tea, smiling, "Careful, it's hot..."

Qian Xuan nodded and moved the teacup slightly, flicked the table to show thanks, presenting a gesture of elegance.

"Liu Zhizhong, you little rascal, have some self-awareness, a sense of judgment, not bad at all. To be honest, our class is indeed something ordinary people can never reach. So, going to college for us was like playing, getting degrees was like a game."

"I'll give you an example, when other people's kids are cramming for the college entrance exams, thinking about which 985 or 211 university to apply to, we just need to consider telling our parents which university we want to go to. Some kids struggle to get into a top university, only to find out that we're destined for it by birth."

"As for the major, well, we can choose anything. Even, for instance, you attended Hu Yang University, but in the end, you can get a diploma from any university in the country, whether it's Beijing University or Tsinghua, even Yangzhou Vocational Technical College, heh heh..."

He was making a joke but it blew Liu Zhizhong away. Thıs content belongs to 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲·𝗻𝗲𝘁

"Of course, after finishing undergrad, if you want to pursue a master's or Ph.D., isn't that just a word away? Would those masters and doctoral supervisors dare to say no? They are absolutely intellectuals under the Iron Fist, what do you think is a better analogy? Let's have a test, heh heh..."

Liu Zhizhong blew on his tea, took a sip, "A real test or just for fun?"

"Doesn't matter if I get it wrong?"

Liu Zhizhong took a deep breath and said, "Then they're like dogs that have had their spines broken, licking up and wagging their tails for funding, shamelessly abandoning face and dignity. Even if Hawking came, he'd have to stand up and toast!"

Qian Xuan laughed hysterically again, his laughter traveling very far, so loud that it even stirred up noise in the nearby pig farms.

Liu Zhizhong boldly cracked a joke, "Hey, Mr. Xuan, keep it down, don't rile up the pigs, let them sleep, they've got to grow meat tomorrow!"

"No worries, I was born in the year of the pig. Hahaha..." Qian Xuan laughed even more heartily, genuinely thrilled with himself.

Liu Zhizhong was speechless; he'd never expected him to be born in the year of the pig. So, he hastened to blow on his tea, drank it, then offered Qian Xuan a cigarette and lit it for him.

Qian Xuan slowly exhaled smoke and said, "So you see, Xiang Shadia getting five bachelor's degrees in four years is just pure folly, useless! Of course, his IQ is pretty high, that's a fact. Me, I got four bachelor's degrees in college four years, heh heh... Just read whatever books I liked, exams were whatever, always aced them."

"But it's undeniable, Mr. Xuan is well-educated, with broad insights, I know that."

"Heh, that's because my IQ isn't low either! Enough about boasting, I just want to let you know, different classes, different circles, different treatments. Do you know where Lei Duo and Xiaoyue's wedding was held?"

Liu Zhizhong was keenly interested, raising his cup of tea, "Eager to hear the details."
