Chapter 926: 912 The Best Bootlicker in the World

“I remember that during your university days, one of the Three Swordsmen was right here at the Coast. I remember you guys called him Monkey. I’ve seen him a few times.”

Luo Qingxue said softly.

“Oh. Is he here?”

Su Xuan felt a wave of curiosity, which he hadn’t expected. His thoughts inevitably drifted back a few years, to his university days. Su Xuan, Sun Wu, and Li Xiang were the most like-minded trio back then, forming the Three Swordsmen. Of course, more people preferred to call them the Three Jokers.

These three guys really did hang out with girls, got into fights, got punished, and flaunted themselves together back in the day.

Thinking about those youthful days, Su Xuan actually felt a sense of nostalgia. Although he wasn’t very old now, there was a feeling that time was pushing him to grow old.

Su Xuan remembered that Li Xiang’s family conditions were pretty good, while among the three, Monkey had it the worst. Monkey’s parents were farmers, but after he got into Huaqing University, it created a sensation in the whole village. It’s said that even the County Magistrate personally met with him back then. Remembering how the three of them would brag together in the dormitory, Su Xuan felt a tinge of sadness welling up in his heart.

Once good brothers, once mischievous friends; as they entered society, many things had inevitably faded.

After graduating from university, Su Xuan hadn’t seen those brothers or any classmates again. Thinking back now, he felt a sense of longing. Sometimes, he truly believed in the saying that a turnaround might mean a lifetime.

“Yeah, I also saw him a few times not too long ago. It seems he’s not doing very well.”

Luo Qingxue said with some sadness. Su Xuan also felt somewhat helpless; Huaqing University students weren’t doing very well either. Nowadays, what is the real significance of going to university?

Sometimes, Su Xuan felt confused. How much of his success today had actually used what he learned academically? In truth, very little.

Su Xuan felt that aside from a few majors like law and medicine, it was difficult for most to apply what they learned. Huaqing University, both before entering or just upon entering, was truly something awe-inspiring, a top existence. Many people even thought that getting into Huaqing University meant certainly rising to prominence, especially since Huaqing University was the best institution in Huaxia, and generally, there weren’t many from a county who could get into it. So Huaqing University was a dream university for many people.

But in reality, how many of the people coming out of Huaqing University have become unnoticed? In this era, diplomas have become increasingly less important, giving way to relationships and bootlickers.

When entering a company, awkward situations often arise where a high school or even middle school graduate does the same work as a prestigious university graduate, and possibly earns a higher salary. This isn’t, in some sense, regrettable.

Of course, special professions are an exception, but for most, this awkward situation prevails.

“What is he doing now?”

Su Xuan asked softly. After all, he was an old classmate, one of the former Three Swordsmen. Su Xuan often wondered if he could help, would he be able to lend a hand in the future?

“It seems he’s selling insurance, running around trying to get business. I don’t really know the specifics since I was busy at the time and didn’t talk much. Why don’t you leave your number with me? Next time I meet him, I’ll give him your number. Oh, the Three Swordsmen used to make so many people envious with their friendship. Such great bonds shouldn’t just dissipate lightly!”

Luo Qingxue said with a smile, and her words made many people envious and jealous, particularly Xu Donggang, who almost got a nosebleed from the anger. He thought to himself, what on earth is so good about this guy that even Luo Qingxue, this girl, would take the initiative to ask for his number? He decided to embarrass her later.

Xu Donggang didn’t believe that Su Xuan was the big boss of Wen Xuan Company. That was a company he frequently collaborated with, very strong in capabilities. It’s known that Wen Xuan Company not only did business with legitimate merchants but also had dealings with many in the underworld.

To be able to do business with the underworld and borrow money easily was truly no easy task, indicating strong backing.

“Then hand me your phone!”

Su Xuan smiled faintly, then took the phone, quickly input his number, and handed it back to her, smiling as he said.

“Thanks for telling me this. Over these years, I’ve thought about reaching out to them, but so many things make it so frustrating.”

Su Xuan smiled faintly, thinking of the Three Swordsmen back then, who truly made many envious, studying together, chasing girls together, getting into fights; those really were great times without the pressures of life.

“Is there any chilled drink here?”

The day was really too hot, eating in the canteen, and Su Xuan felt a bit off his appetite. Even more so, Yu Lingling seemed to have trouble eating.

“Big brother, do you want a drink? I’ll go buy it for you!”

Yu Lingling said with a smile, and Su Xuan patted her little head, saying,

“No need, I’ll go. You stay here and eat. What do you want to eat? I’ll bring you something!”

Su Xuan looked at the other beautiful women present.

“I want a Fruit-Smoothie.”

“I want Sprite…”

The several beauties were not polite. The impression Su Xuan gave them was not only handsome but, more importantly, approachable, creating a feeling without distance.

“Teacher Luo, what would you like?”

Su Xuan said with a smile.

“Could you please buy me a cup of grapefruit tea?”

Luo Qingxue said with a smile. Upon seeing Su Xuan today, she felt rather sentimental. Time is truly a miraculous thing; the little things from the past fleetingly pass by, and those days on campus are gone forever.

In her memory, Su Xuan appeared chubby, a bit of an honest Xiaopang, but time is a butcher’s knife. Over the years, Su Xuan had fundamentally transformed. Now, he seemed reserved yet witty, with exceptional charm, giving off a very comfortable vibe.

“So, your taste hasn’t changed over the years!”

Su Xuan smiled faintly, the corners of his mouth curving into a sly grin. Su Xuan still remembered back when Monkey wanted to pursue Luo Qingxue, so the Three Swordsmen brainstormed plans, and they knew Luo Qingxue liked grapefruit tea.

Luo Qingxue looked at Su Xuan and then smiled, saying she was used to it.
