Chapter 17: Ambition and Ambition

Seeing Han Shu's actions, the boys and girls' eyes were immediately focused on him. Knowing that something good was going to happen, several of them showed expressions of excitement and anticipation.

Han Shu came to Chen Chuan's desk and greeted him with a smile, "Chen Chuan, long time no see. I haven't heard from you recently. What are you busy with?"

Ding Jiao snorted.

Chen Chuan said very naturally, "What else could it be? After graduation, I have to find a place to go."

Han Shu said "oh", looked at him, and tried to ask: "I wonder if you plan to stay in Yangzhi City, or..."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "It should be in Yangzhi City."

Han Shu pretended to be surprised and said, "With your grades, why don't you go to a higher education institution? You should try to take the exam outside. Look at me, my grades are not as good as yours, so I can only stay in Yangzhi City."

Ding Jiao couldn't bear to see him like that, so he said directly, "Come on, Han Lao San, everyone knows that you have joined Molan Company, why are you showing off!"

Chen Chuanshuo said: "I would like to take the exam outside, but I don't have that much money. Even if someone is willing to sponsor me, I still need someone to introduce me. Besides, it's not that easy to stay in the central city."

"Yes, yes." When the other students in the class heard his words, they all resonated with them.

In fact, strictly speaking, those who can attend the No. 1 Middle School in the city have families that are not as well off as the rich but better off than the poor. However, if they want to study in the central city, that is still a luxury.

After the algae liquid revolution, huge central cities were built all over the world. These were the gathering places for major companies and even giant enterprises. The level of biotechnology there was much higher than that in the surrounding cities. It was basically two different worlds from the outside world. Without the introduction of someone with a certain social status, it was impossible to even gain a foothold, let alone study there.

For example, there are three students in the class who got recommended places this time. In order to ensure the admission rate to the central city, No. 1 Middle School actually needs these students more. To put it bluntly, if you don’t have a certain family background and social status, it’s useless to get the place, because others will not accept you at all.

Han Shu saw the advertisement paper next to Chen Chuan and asked in surprise, "What is this?" He picked it up and looked at it. Then, his face showed an excited expression of seeing through something. He shook the advertisement paper and said, "Chen Chuan, don't tell me you are going to learn boxing?"

Chen Chuan did not deny it, and looked at him with a smile: "It's good to learn boxing."

"Are you really going to learn boxing?" Han Shu's eyes sparkled, and he couldn't help laughing, "Boxing gym? Becoming a boxer? You really have...some ideas, haha."

When the classmates heard this, they all looked at Chen Chuan with strange eyes.

Nationwide, learning boxing in a boxing gym is actually a way out for people at the bottom of society, but most of the students at No. 1 Middle School do not think so.

According to their parents, those who come out of the boxing gym are all small-time hooligans, and nine out of ten will join gangs and do some illegal activities. The lucky ones will fight in the ring, but they will be injured when they grow old. Some become action actors, but most of them are just extras and doubles. They make a lot of money, but the disability rate is very high, and almost no one can make it.

In their eyes, that was equivalent to being at the bottom of society, and since Chen Chuan usually had good grades, they found it incomprehensible to hear him make this choice.

Ding Jiao suddenly became anxious, pounded the table, stood up and said, "Han Lao San, what are you talking about? Chen Chuan's uncle is the captain of the police station. If he wants to go, he will go to the police station. Why would he go to a place like the boxing club? Right, Chen Chuan?"

Han Shu said, pretending to be puzzled, "I remember Chen Chuan has a cousin, right? Chen Chuan, are you going to compete with your cousin for the position of successor? Isn't this a bad idea?"

"What are you talking about? You..." Ding Jiao became excited and looked like he was about to swear. Seeing this, Chen Chuan immediately held him down. He also stood up, looked at Han Shu, and said slowly: "Learning boxing is what I like. A person does what he likes to do and does not interfere with others. Is there any problem with this?"

Han Shu felt uncomfortable with his calm gaze, and he found that Chen Chuan was much taller, and he was almost a head shorter than him. He took a step back with a guilty conscience, and said in a gloomy tone: "It's nothing, it's good, it's a good match for you, then I wish you success."

Chen Chuan hummed and said, "I'll borrow your good words."

Han Shu thought he was just being stubborn, so he snorted and left under Ding Jiao's angry glare.

"Brother Han, this way." He had just taken a few steps when a classmate waved to him eagerly.

Han Shu immediately felt that he had found his rhythm again, nodded modestly, and came to that table and sat down. The classmate who greeted him said, "Brother Han, why bother with them? You are an employee of Molan Company now. Even the municipal staff have to be polite to you. Some people are just yelling at you now. You will see the difference when you get outside."

Han Shu nodded. Now that he had gone to Molan, he had a future, but Chen Chuan could only hang out on the streets or do juggling on a nail board in the future. Are they comparable?

He pretended to be generous and said, "Actually, I feel sorry for him. After all, his grades were so good before. It's really a waste of time to study so much. Forget it. It's a rare gathering of classmates. Just be happy."

Since almost everyone in the class was present at this moment, the class monitor came out and said a few polite words, and everyone started eating and drinking, and the atmosphere became lively again.

Seeing that no one was looking at this side, Ding Jiao asked in a low voice: "Brother, are you really going to learn boxing? Are you lying to him?" Chen Chuan patted his shoulder and said: "I like to learn boxing, but you can't only go to the boxing club to practice boxing..."

As the two were talking, the noise around them gradually died down, and a young girl with delicate features walked in from outside. She had a ponytail, and wore a short jacket with a blue and white pattern and a black ankle-length skirt. Behind her was a man who looked like a follower and two bodyguards.

She walked with great aura. As soon as she came in, the students around her kept silent subconsciously, only glancing at her from time to time. A few girls greeted her timidly, and she just glanced at them and nodded slightly as a response.

Ding Jiao also saw the girl. He gestured to Chen Chuan, "Hey, Meng Shu is here. Why don't you go talk to her? I heard that her family is from the central city? Based on your relationship..."

The girl ignored everyone else and came directly to Chen Chuan's table. She looked at him with cold eyes and said, "Chen Chuan, I have something to tell you. Please come out for a moment."

There was an air of unquestionability in her words, and Ding Jiao immediately stopped talking. The only one who spoke naturally was Chen Chuan. He said, "I'm talking to an old classmate. How about you move a chair and sit over here?"

Ding Jiao took a look and quickly stood up, "You guys chat, you guys chat..." Then he whispered to Chen Chuan, "I'll leave it to you."

The girl glanced to the side and saw that the students whose tables were closer to her quickly stood up and moved away.

The person who looked like an attendant behind her brought over a chair that no one had sat in, wiped it carefully with a handkerchief, pushed it in front of the table, and made a respectful invitation gesture.

The girl came up, smoothed her skirt behind her with both hands, and sat down upright.

Under the night sky where the stars were about to appear, the two people sat opposite each other, with the table in the middle dividing them equally, just like a symmetrical painting.

Driven by some thoughts, the people around them all pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what they would say. Ding Jiao was not far away, leaning forward, half lying on the table, afraid of missing a word.

Chen Chuan picked up the drink, motioned to the girl, and asked, "Would you like a drink?"

Seeing that the girl didn't respond, he poured himself a cup. The girl looked at him and said, "I know you were admitted to Wuyi University."

Wuyi University?
Wuhan University?

Was Chen Chuan admitted to Wuhan University?
This immediately caused a commotion around them. Ding Jiao was stunned for a second, then exclaimed: "Wuhan University? Oh my god! Brother Chuan is the best!"

Han Shu turned around abruptly and stared at Chen Chuan in surprise. He hoped very much that he would get the opposite answer from Chen Chuan in the next moment.

Chen Chuan thought about it and thought that this should have come from the Police Bureau. Since it was said, he did not deny it and said, "Your information is accurate. I can't hide it from you."

Han Shu's expression became a little stiff, and at this moment, he heard the excited discussions of his classmates:
"So this is what Chen Chuanchuan meant by learning boxing. I wonder, with such good grades, why would he become a gangster?"

"Yes, that's Wuhan University. He's really good. This time our Class 4 will be able to show off."

"By the way, does anyone have Chen Chuanjia's phone number?"

Learning martial arts is different from studying martial arts. After entering Wuyi University, as long as you learn well, you will be employed as a senior employee in the government or various companies. Apart from other things, your connections are unmatched by ordinary people. And there is a classmate who graduated from Wuyi University, and he is proud to talk about it.

The girl ignored the commotion outside. She said in a calm tone, "That place is not suitable for you. Your future should be company management, senior lawyer, commission agent, or family steward. Do something that requires brains, not fighting and killing people."

Chen Chuan took a sip of soda slowly and said, "I think it suits me very well."

The girl looked at him and said, "You have always been excellent. I am not surprised that you were admitted to Wuyi Academy. However, you will not be able to pass the retest of Wuyi. This experience will not only not help your future, but will hurt you."

Chen Chuan just smiled.

The girl took out an exquisite name card and said, "I will be back to Central City at the end of August. Come and find me with the card." After that, she stood up and walked out without saying hello to anyone. Her entourage and two strong bodyguards immediately followed her.

Chen Chuan didn't look at the name card. Instead, he rested his arms behind his head and leaned back comfortably. He looked upward. The vast night sky seemed to be embracing him. The noisy sounds around him seemed to be fading away. In a place that no one could see, I was standing behind him. He smiled and said, "You don't understand the real fun here."
