Chapter 303: Chapter 296: The benefits of being an honest person
In Tang Yuxin’s ears, the sound of Sun Yumeng constantly slapping her own face still echoed. For the past days, they had become accustomed to Sun Yumeng’s strange habit while carrying on with their own tasks as usual.
As for Sun Yumeng, she always felt as though she was superior to others; thus, she rarely spoke to her roommates, monopolizing the only table in their dorm.
The others didn’t really care and certainly wouldn’t argue with Sun over the table. After all, what would be the point of such a dispute? Could they eat the table?
After their military training, regular learning resumed. Lin Yile and Song Qingtong, already of the same department, followed the same study schedule. At the beginning, Lin Yile enjoyed her courses, contemplating what was taught that day and what would be taught the next.
Ting Yuan, Tang Yuxin, and Sun Yumeng shared the same class, all studying clinical medicine. As for which speciality they’d choose in the future, they had no idea yet. That decision would have to wait until after their graduation.
Tang Yuxin, being a doctor in her past life, was naturally adept at medical studies. Since childhood, she had been exposed to traditional medicine, blessing her with a unique advantage.
She learned effortlessly, gaining a lot from her studies. Parts that had previously confounded her now were all clear. Of course, the main thing was that, while relearning some things, she might approach them with different perspectives.
University life was simple yet rich. Unlike high school, where they had to constantly revise and have extra classes, the pace of university courses was fairly relaxed. Their days were carefree, with no worries about future jobs or familial pressure.
At that time, they were just individuals, simple, innocent, and pure.
Everything required step-by-step progress along the right path. If one strayed, they could get back; but, if they strayed too far, they might never find their way back.
As Tang Yuxin got off the train, her uncle was there to pick her up. Dressed in a suit and driving a new car, her second uncle finally seemed like a legitimate business owner.
“Second Uncle...” Tang Yuxin walked over, carrying her small suitcase. She hadn’t brought much since everything she needed was at home.
Tang Zhijun quickly took the suitcase from her hands. “Let’s go home. Your second aunt’s cooked a whole table’s worth of your favourite dishes.”
“Where’s my dad?” Tang Yuxin had expected Tang Zhinian to pick her up, so she was surprised when her second uncle showed up instead.
“Your dad’s at the construction site. Though we tried to stop him, he insisted on going, claiming that constructing a building was serious business and everything needed to be thorough. He is particularly strict about materials’ quality, insisting that they use the best of everything. Sometimes, I wonder if this ‘quality over quantity’ approach won’t make him go bankrupt?”
“It’s a building we’re talking about, of course they need to prioritize quality,” Tang Yuxin didn’t find anything wrong with her father’s approach. Shoddy construction was absolutely not tolerable as it would harm their own interests in the long run. Honest business practices often had their own advantages.
Tang Zhijun patted Tang Yuxin’s head, “Let’s go, no more talking about this. It’s adult business, you kids don’t need to worry about it. By the way, you haven’t seen Chengcheng for half a year. That boy’s always running around and he’s so attached to your second aunt. You’d think he was as sweet as honey. How could a boy grow up like that?”
Talking about the youngest in their family, Tang Zhijun seemed never to run out of things to say. It was clear how much he loved his little nephew. The sole heir of the Tang family, Chengcheng was a well-mannered, adorable, and sweet-talking toddler.
It seemed they could hardly survive a day without seeing him.
