She recognized him; it was the boy nad Li Zhen who had once saved a seat for her.
Li Zhen’s face lit up with surprise. "You haven’t attended the main lectures for over a month. I thought you had dropped out of school! I’ve been saving a seat for you every day..."
Perhaps realizing he had let too much slip, the young man quickly scratched his head, chuckling awkwardly.
She smiled. "I ca to collect my graduation certificate."
"Have you found a job yet?"
"Not yet."
Li Zhen ruffled his hair. "Job hunting is a bit tough this year, but your major is excellent, so you should be fine. I have a relative who’s an HR in a multinational corporation. I heard their starting salary is pretty good. Basic salaries are apparently over 7,000. Two students from our school also went there this year. Shall I ask for you?"
"Thank you, but there’s no need."
"There’s a graduation dinner tonight. Aren’t you going?"
She was a little surprised.
He blushed. "I know your class monitor. If you go to the graduation dinner, I’ll go too..."
His words couldn’t have been clearer. His young heart was filled with anxiety, terrified he might lose contact with her after graduation.
The class monitor had already announced the ti and place for the graduation dinner, but after a mont’s thought, Yan Xixi still shook her head.
Gathering his courage, Li Zhen asked, "Yan Xixi, could you please give your phone number?"
She rembered this was the second ti he had asked for her number.
Still, she shook her head.
Just as Li Zhen was about to say sothing more, she politely excused herself and left. The young man watched her retreating figure, looking disheartened, not daring to chase after her.
In the cab, she finally took out her degree certificate. At that mont, it felt like a rare treasure—so hard-earned. She was incredibly excited and eager to share her joy, so she imdiately dialed Xu Xiaoya’s number.
"Xixi, congratulations on finally achieving your wish! Ah, it’s really not convenient for to talk right now; we have so many custors. Xixi, our store’s doing amazingly well! When you’re free, co by and check the accounts. I guarantee it’ll blow you away! Okay, gotta run, I’m completely swamped!"
She gave a wry smile and ended the call.
The house was very quiet. Yan Xixi sat in the living room for a while before heading into the bedroom.
She stopped in the walk-in closet. Rows of clothes, shoes, bags, and various accessories lined the space. The jewelry box held several pieces of expensive jewelry. Technically, all these things now belonged to her, Yan Xixi, but she didn’t know how long she could keep them.
After Wan Donglin left, he vanished without a trace, not even making a single phone call. This was typical of him. He was always uncompromising when it cos to family interests. Yan Xixi speculated that he was currently discussing engagent or wedding details with Zhou Ting.
Indeed, it was ti for her to leave. She sent out over a dozen resus online. Half a month later, responses began to trickle in. She quickly went for interviews with several companies and was now awaiting their final decisions.
That evening, she was on the terrace playing with her phone, completely unaware when a large hand landed on her shoulder. She looked up abruptly to see Wan Donglin standing there; he had returned.
He examined her carefully from head to toe, then back again. "Xixi, are you feeling better?"
"I’m all better now."
At his feet were two large boxes. One was filled with nourishing supplents, and the other contained newly launched skincare products from a top-tier costics brand.
"Xixi, these supplents are very good for your health; they’re said to replenish original energy. Rember to start taking them on ti tonight."
This was the first ti he had ever bought supplents for her.
