Chapter 444 Crossroads For Youths

Zhang Heng was growing accustomed to his current lifestyle . He would go to the Sex and the City bar every other month to complete a game, then return to school life . Except for his roommates who could detect the change in his temperament, no one else could tell that he was different than he was yesterday .

After completing so many games, Zhang Heng was getting better at controlling his mood . Whatever happened after he returned from Black Sail would never happen again . Like this Whistleblower quest, Zhang Heng spent most of his time living with Little Boy, and thus, hadn’t experienced any significant emotional changes and high-intensity mental pressure . It was why the changes within him weren’t noticeable .

In the afternoon, while Ma Wei prepared lessons in the library, Wei Jiangyang invited Zhang Heng and Chen Huadong to the court for a game of basketball . After throwing a couple of hoops, a group of senior students came, and they were then divided into two groups of three . Everyone was just playing for fun initially, but they soon got bored, so someone suggested that the losers do 20 push-ups . The game naturally became more aggressive after that, and at the same time, more conflict arose among the team as well . Fortunately, both sides managed to control their emotions well enough . When someone fell, the opposing team would immediately help them get off the ground and pat down their backs .

It wasn’t until one thin, tall guy got defeated by Wei Jiangyang three times . Deeply embarrassed, he started to shove Wei Jiangyang around . Then, all of a sudden, the atmosphere around the basketball court tensed up significantly . It was then that the group’s attention was caught by a red Lexus approaching from the distance .

The school typically forbade vehicles from outside the school to enter this place . Even the faculty’s staff could only park their vehicles in the parking lot . Generally, security would only lower the two iron barriers when freshmen enrolled in the school or when seniors graduated .

Citing those reasons, the appearance of the Lexus quickly captured a lot of attention .

It seemed the car was heading for the office building that wasn’t too far away . However, as it passed the basketball court, it suddenly stopped and reversed . The driver lowered the window, revealing the person on the wheel .

It turned out to be a stunning woman in a white shirt and a pair of jeans . There was light makeup on her face, and she was adorned with lustrous ornaments and jewelry . Her appearance told of a woman with a powerful and confident aura .

Chen Huadong looked at her once, and he got excited immediately .

“This has to be the best MILF ever!”

He had just said out what every boy was thinking right now . Logically speaking, as long as the students weren’t in engineering, they should come across plenty of girls on campus . The guys had seen all manner of beautiful women, but this time, everyone had to admit that this was probably the gorgeous woman they’d ever laid eyes upon . Especially when the lady turned to look at them, everyone’s hearts started racing . They were all very nervous .

“Why didn’t you answer my call?”

“Huh?” Chen Huadong was completely confused by what was going on . He then heard Zhang Heng’s voice behind him . “Sorry, I didn’t hear my phone ringing . I was playing basketball just now . Why are you here, Sister Han?”

Han Lu removed her sunglasses . “The dean of Economics and Management knows me . Hence, he asked me here to give a lecture . Initially, I wanted you to be my guide . . ”

Han Lu actually knew the dean, also knowing that the field of finance wasn’t popular around here . Over the years, she made a name for herself in the financial world, to the point the average entrepreneur would beg to meet her, and she would usually charge by the minute . Somebody like her was expected to have connections with the dean in this university . Something must be wrong since she was willing to give lectures for free . No university would reject such a fantastic opportunity .

Her significance could be seen from the way the school welcomed her, where not only was her Lexus given special permission to be driven on campus, but several high-ranking officers from the Department of Economics and Management even dined with her before the lecture started .

“Have you had lunch? Shall we?” Han Lu asked .

Zhang Heng shook his head . “I don’t attend events like that . ”

“You are right,” Han Lu said . “I didn’t like my uni’s leaders when I was studying as well . Academic Affairs Office was the second one I hated . Carry on with your game then . When I finish the lecture, let’s go somewhere nice for dinner . You should be familiar with the area . You haven’t contacted me since the last time we met . I promised your mother I’d take good care of you,” she lamented .

Zhang Heng smiled . “I was just afraid I’d be interrupting your work . Haven’t you been very busy lately?”

“No, my job is to listen to different people bragging about their achievements to me . I might just live a few years longer if I don’t listen to all that twaddle,” replied Han Lu as she returned the smile . “I will see you tonight . ”

After that, she raised her window and sped towards the office building . The rest of the boys on the basketball court were left open-mouthed and astounded .

“Master Zhang, you got that woman to be your sugar mama?!” Chen Huadong exclaimed in envy . “That has to be the perfect life I’ve always dreamed of . ”

Zhang Heng threw the ball at Chen Huadong . “Cut that crap . She’s my mom’s best friend . ”

Chen Huadong, however, was no longer in the mood to play any basketball .

“Why doesn’t my mother have a friend like her?!”

Wei Jiangyang, on the other side, seemed a little worried . “Old Zhang, is it because of Shen Xixi’s affair? She went for a rich old man, so… you hooed up with an older woman as revenge?”

“Mind your words, old Wei . Listen to what you just said . How can a MILF queen like her be called an old woman,” grunted Chen Huadong in great dissatisfaction?

“I have explained many times . Shen Xixi and I are just friends, and she doesn’t go for older men, nor is she in a relationship with one . Instead of helping curb the rumor from spreading, it seems you’ve been flaming it . ”

Wei Jiangyang scratched his head . “Everyone is saying the same thing about her . Don’t worry . If someone dares to spread rumors about you, we will do everything we can to stop it . Anyway, are you really not in a relationship with that woman?” he chuckled .

Suddenly, a senior that has hesitating to speak said something . “That was Han Lu, President Han? I saw her picture on a listed company that I applied for . She was the company’s first investor . ”

“She didn’t just invest in just one company . Many companies have her picture on their walls . She is often on the news, and she seems to have been awarded the title of Asian Female Leader,” said the tall, thin man . “You’re one lucky guy, brother . You don’t need to worry about work at all after you graduate . ”

Undoubtedly, the other seniors thought the same as well .

They were about to finish their studies, and having less than one semester left; they would soon enter society and join the brutal rat race . People of different creeds faced different situations, where some would land their desired careers, and some still unsettled . Some struggled which path they should choose; if they should be a civil servant or engage an unstable job they had been longing to do .

Countless young graduates would face the intense emotional pressure of heading into the unknown . Hence graduation season was also breakup season .

The stresses of moving into a different city, the intense competition, and the harsh realities of making it on their own had left many feeling utterly helpless . The culture shock that hit graduates as they officially took the reins and started their new jobs usually caused them to make sudden and drastic decisions . Some chose to break up with their loved ones, some split-up, and got back together again, and some broke up and regretted it all after a few years . Only a small number of lucky people chose to protect their relationships until it became mature .

Happiness was something that one had to work hard to acquire . Behind every sweet smile in wedding photos were heartbreaking quarrels and bitter conflict others never saw . Enormous sacrifices and compromises from both sides were also essential . These would all eventually come together, forming into what we know as marriage .
