I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping-Chapter 74 - 0 Open Class

“We have an open class in our department later, and I must attend.”

After leaving the restaurant, Jiang Chen and Li Shuru walked through the campus, ignoring the various gazes from those around them.

Logically, at this point, Li Shuru should have naturally suggested leaving, but after a moment of silence, she surprisingly said.

“Can I come with you?”

In universities, sitting in on classes is a common occurrence, with many keen and studious students doing so.

It’s especially common among couples who are inseparable and don’t want to part, but…

Jiang Chen glanced around and said with a wry smile, “I’m afraid your attendance might cause a commotion.”

“I’m not a celebrity.”

Li Shuru said lightly, “If you don’t want me to go, just say so.

There’s no need for excuses.”

Jiang Chen frowned slightly.

Her tone was really quite unusual.

She surely couldn’t be unaware that the two of them were currently in the eye of the storm.

If they attended class together, wouldn’t they be bombarded by public opinion once again?

Although Jiang Chen initially didn’t care about his relationship with Li Shuru becoming common knowledge, that was then.

Back then, Li Shuru treated him like a plague, so he needed to use public opinion to forcibly “kidnap” her, but times had changed.

As his fondness increased, Jiang Chen gradually realized a critical issue.

Li Shuru was his first target, but not the only one.

If he wanted to gain more benefits later on, he’d definitely have to switch to someone else.

He naturally understood the principle of preparing for a rainy day.

So now, after his relationship with Li Shuru had become official, public opinion started becoming more harmful than beneficial to him.

It’s just like a celebrity needing to stir up CP rumors to gain exposure before getting famous, but after becoming famous, they’d start to hide their relationships.

Although he knew he should start keeping a low profile from now on, the revolution hadn’t succeeded yet, and with Li Shuru taking the initiative, he couldn’t refuse.

“Sure, this is a blessing that many seek but can’t find.”

Jiang Chen beamed with a hearty smile.

Li Shuru was noncommittal, her thoughts unreadable.

3:30 in the afternoon.

The two stepped into the lecture hall.

As expected, they received attention from everyone present.

It started with a very few, then a small portion, spreading gradually to the entire classroom, and finally, everyone was looking at Jiang Chen and Li Shuru, who walked in side by side, with expressions of surprise, shock, jealousy…

varied and plentiful.

“Jiang Chen, this!”

Luo Peng waved vigorously, his face also showing an uncontrollable awe.

Li Shao and Bai Zheli were also there.

Jiang Chen looked over and, bringing Li Shuru with him, walked towards them.

Li Shuru, the esteemed belle of the Art Department and campus goddess, now gave off the impression of a little bird relying on a person, following behind Jiang Chen obediently and docilely.

“Could it be that what Liang Zhenlun said was actually true?”

Wei Chuyin had also arrived and seeing the “coupled” Jiang Chen and Li Shuru, was incredibly shocked.

A girl openly coming to class with a guy, what does that signify?

Probably even a fool would know.

After snapping out of her daze, she couldn’t help but turn to look at her best friend beside her, eyes filled with worry.

Ai Qian was biting her lip tightly, staring at the lively greeting between Jiang Chen and Luo Peng, her eyes flickering uncertainly.

Like a stone tossed into a creek, the entire tiered classroom instantly bubbled with commotion.

Over two hundred people stole glances at Jiang Chen and Li Shuru, whispering and buzzing with discussion.

“Did he score?”

Luo Peng shot Jiang Chen a covert look.

Jiang Chen shook his head.

“I rarely admire anyone, you’re the first, awesome,” Luo Peng said, genuinely impressed as he glanced at the Art School’s beauty sitting nonchalantly beside his good friend.

Even Bai Zheli adjusted his glasses, looking at Jiang Chen with a gaze full of admiration.

When Jiang Chen had declared his intention to pursue Li Shuru, they all thought he was a foolhardy dreamer, a toad lusting after swan meat.

Who could have predicted today’s scene?

Considering the circumstances, even if he hadn’t completely won her over, he was probably just one step away from ultimate success.

Though there was much to say, since Li Shuru was sitting right beside them, Li Shao and the others refrained from speaking too much.

Still, the looks coming from all directions were hardly restrained, sharp as knives and swords.

If looks could kill, Jiang Chen would have been reduced to nothing by now.

“Has Li Shuru gone mad?

Or is she blind?”

“Damn it, Jiang Chen actually succeeded.

Had I known, I would have made a move too!”

“He paid a price, almost lost his life.

Looks like Li Shuru is someone moved by emotions; she must have been touched.”

“Look at Ai Qian, her face is dark.”

“I heard she’s breaking up with Liang Zhenlun, and now Jiang Chen and Li Shuru are getting close.

She must be feeling awful.”

……

It was not until the class bell rang that the noisy scene gradually calmed down,

as a middle-aged professor with a high reputation at Dongda took to the podium.

Since it was an open class with no need for roll call, the well-versed professor in social and economic studies naturally didn’t know about the extra student below the stage, and even if he did, he certainly wouldn’t care.

Looking over the packed tiered classroom, he smiled and said, “I’ve heard that at the recent job fair, many of you did well, with quite a few having received offers from companies like Tencent, and Alibaba…”

“Li Bai, you went to the job fair last time, didn’t you?

How did it go?” Luo Peng asked in a low voice, turning his head.

“I was just looking around,” Bai Zheli replied somewhat shyly.

It was Li Shao who explained, “Several big companies have extended offers to Li Bai, with quite attractive salary packages.

It’s just a matter of which one he wants to choose.”

“Nice one!

You’ve done our dorm 421 proud,” Luo Peng said with a laugh.

“In fifteen years, the domestic internet has gone from non-existent to burgeoning and now to its current peak.

It indeed seems to be the most fitting career choice for now.

But here’s what I want to ask everyone—since you all favor internet companies so much, how much do you really understand about the industry you’re about to enter, or, in other words, about the landscape of the domestic internet industry?”

The professor scanned the room and gently said, “Who would like to share their thoughts?”

A girl seated in the fifth row was the first to raise her hand, sporting short hair, unremarkable in looks but exuding calm confidence—clearly a top student.

After the professor nodded in acknowledgment, she quickly stood up and eloquently detailed the development histories of several internet giants.

“Now, the domestic internet companies are dominated by ‘one superpower with multiple strong contenders.’ After Alibaba’s setback, Tencent stands as the sole martial arts master, supremely alone.”

“I disagree,”

Soon, a male student stood up and calmly stated, “In the past, Tencent surely led the way, but in the future, possibly even in the near future, ByteDance might surpass Tencent.

And Tencent will certainly not sit back and relinquish the throne, so what’s coming is a battle between the two giants for control of the domestic internet arena.”
