Chapter 254 Back to School!
"Second Brother, are you up already? Didn't we agree to return to school today? You aren't still asleep, are you?"
"What time is it now?" Hearing Zhou Chao's drowsy voice, Li Yang couldn't help but pat his own head.
"It's already 9:30! Get up quickly!"
"I'll get up right away. I took a short nap, and the next thing I knew, it was already this late. I'll take a shower first. Big Bro, where are you right now?" Zhou Chao bounced out of bed, grabbed his phone, and headed for the bathroom. Examine the origin of this data, deeply intertwined with n0v[lbin★
"I'm in your garage. Hurry up, I won't come up!"
"Alright, wait for me for 20 minutes!" Zhou Chao hung up the phone, tossed it aside, and jumped into the shower.
After a quick rinse, Zhou Chao opened his wardrobe and looked at it, choosing a somewhat formal casual outfit. Glancing at the half-filled closet, he couldn't help but sigh, "Those rich second-generation kids have their closets filled with several, and I haven't even filled one completely. What a disappointment!"
After tidying his hair, he opened the bedroom door and walked downstairs, grabbing the keys to his Koenigsegg One1 on the way out.
As soon as Zhou Chao arrived at the garage, he saw Li Yang sitting in a Ferrari, smoking.
"Big Bro, why so early? Aren't these events usually in the afternoon? Why are we going to school in the morning?" Zhou Chao walked over, leaned on Li Yang's car window, and casually took the cigarette Li Yang offered.
"We're heading over in the morning to visit the school, and meet some renowned alumni, it's just regular networking. We'll see if there are any valuable connections or resources we can tap into!"
"Alright, let's go now!" Zhou Chao turned to walk toward his own car.
"Hold on, what car are you planning to drive back today?"
"I'm taking the Koenigsegg One1. What's up?" Zhou Chao looked puzzled at Li Yang.
"Let's go, it's getting late!" They had unintentionally spent half an hour at the basketball court.
"Yeah." They turned and continued walking along the campus road towards the faculty office building.
In no time, they arrived at the building, and they made their way to the counselor's office.
As they reached the door of the counselor's office, they saw the counselor engaged in a conversation with a few individuals who looked familiar, likely former classmates from the same department.
Li Yang pushed open the door and entered, with Zhou Chao following closely behind.
"Li Yang, you're here! Oh, Zhou Chao, you're here too! Your brotherly bond is still going strong; that's nice to see!" The counselor's surprise at seeing Li Yang, followed by his astonishment upon spotting Zhou Chao, quickly turned into delight within a brief moment.
"Octopus Bro, it's been a few years, and it looks like you've lost a bit of hair!" Li Yang playfully commented while gesturing with his fingers. Zhou Chao thought Li Yang meant just a bit, but to everyone's amusement, Li Yang's hand gestures indicated a much greater distance, eliciting laughter from those present.
"F*ck you! I can't believe you're still this mischievous even after graduating. You haven't learned to be more mature!"
Octopus Bro, whose real name was Zhang Yu, was in his early thirties and chose to stay at the university after graduating. He was a genuinely interesting person and occasionally joined Li Yang and the others in their dorm to play games. Over time, their relationship had grown stronger.
Octopus Bro had a kind and hearty face, the epitome of a typical man from the Shandong region. During his years at the university, he found himself a beautiful wife who was the department's belle. They got married during their junior year, and Octopus Bro was quite accomplished himself; rumor had it that he had already obtained a Ph.D.!
"Why have you all come to my office instead of going to the auditorium to meet some well-known alumni? After all, those are valuable connections. Especially you, Zhou Chao, once you step out of the university, you need to change that lazy mentality of yours!"
"We just wanted to see how you're doing and if you've grown some hair!" Zhou Chao cheekily continued the conversation upon seeing their counselor's remarks.
"How are you doing now? Are you still as lazy?"
"Impossible, at most, I've been a bit lazy at home."
"You're still quite good! Let's go; I'll take you to the auditorium!"
With that, Octopus Bro led the group out of the office and headed towards the university's auditorium.
