Chapter 385: Life-threatening Friendship
Jiangzhou University Qinghe Branch, a university that was completed 18 years ago, has an increasingly strong faculty over the years, has undertaken more and more projects, and has risen to the first place in the global rankings, becoming the dream of many students.
Gu Yu is the same as everyone else, but also a little different.
She was able to enter this university because her father donated a building to the school and gave her a special admission quota.
Her own college entrance examination score was only 550. In this school where one needs to score 700 points to have a chance of being admitted, even if you give her the answers to the college entrance examination, she may not be able to pass it.
But she got in anyway. You have to know that in China, there is no such thing as being able to get into a school just by donating a building, even if it is Peking University or Tsinghua University.
Naturally, the Qinghe Branch of Jiangzhou University cannot do this either. She is the only exception, and no one knows where this exception came from.
Anyway, she has been in school for three months, but she has never understood anything the teacher taught because the pace is too fast.
In the mid-term test, she gloriously got the last score in the class.
And there was no one in the entire major with worse grades than her. In every subject, she was always the last.
She didn't understand why other children in the compound who couldn't get into this school could go to other places, but her family insisted on letting her go to university right next to their home.
Look at Zhou Fanshu, she’s living a very carefree life in Shanghai, hanging out with her adoring boyfriend every day.
Damn her servile boyfriend. He could have come to Jiangzhou University, but he had to go to Modu Finance University to pursue Zhou Fanshu.
Everyone knows that Jiangzhou University in Qinghe County ranks first in the world in finance and economics. They even often invite top bosses like Wen Yuxian and Guo Meng to give lectures. They are all bosses who can manage more than 10 trillion yuan of funds.
Both Laiqian Capital and Qingtian Capital are the cornerstones of A-shares. Any research report from them can determine the life or death of a listed company.
Jiangzhou University was previously ranked only around 100th in the world. However, many people know that the previous evaluation criteria were set by the West.
After China completely took control of the media discourse fourteen years ago, the standards changed.
With the support of a large amount of funding and the combination of various projects, this branch school became ranked number one in the world in less than ten years.
In the words of my father, this is the advantage of controlling the media.
Whoever holds the power to speak in the media can set certain standards.
Nowadays, whenever people talk about Jiangzhou University, they are referring to the Qinghe County branch.
Gu Yu sat in the last row of the lecture hall, which was her reserved seat. If she sat closer to the front, she would be asked questions and she would not be able to answer them.
At this moment, a girl next to her suddenly screamed and shouted, "Senior Jiang Shu, I love you!"
Gu Yu raised his head and saw a tall and handsome figure with a stern face walking into the classroom.
However, he did not come to the seats below, but stood on the podium.
She was too familiar with Jiang Shu. This guy had abused everyone in the compound since they were young, making them unable to take care of themselves.
She was born in 2024, when Jiang Shu was already in elementary school.
Jiang Shu's academic experience is still the ceiling of the courtyard so far. Even though Aunt Shu's son Yang Fan took the college entrance examination in the second semester of his senior year and was directly admitted to Beijing University, he was still a little behind Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu has been studying step by step during his nine years of compulsory education, and the country does not allow skipping grades.
But after graduating from junior high school, he took the college entrance examination directly. At that time, Beijing University was the ceiling in China, and he was admitted with a score of 714.
That year, he was only fifteen years old.
After completing four years of university, I came to Jiangzhou University to pursue a master's and doctoral degree. I am currently working in a doctoral-related major, which is referred to as a postdoctoral fellow.
This tall and handsome senior would occasionally substitute for some professors. His cool temperament made many top-level female students envious.
The same situation as the girl next door to her has happened more than once.
Gu Yu hates Jiang Shu very much because her poor college entrance examination results were caused by Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu insisted on giving her tutoring, which ended up ruining her mentality. Otherwise, she could have scored at least 580.
Although there is no difference.
On the podium, Jiang Shu said calmly: "Professor Chen is not feeling well, so I will be teaching the World Economics course from now on. My name is Jiang Shu, and I have taught you Modern Economics and Discrete Mathematics before. You should all be aware of my standards, so I won't elaborate on them here. Roll the roll first!"
Gu Yu was in the last row, staring at Jiang Shu on the podium.
She knew that she was going to fail another course.
In previous courses, even though I did poorly on the exams, I would basically pass the exams somehow.
But in Jiang Shu's two courses, she only scored 16 points in modern economics and only 8 points in discrete mathematics.
This is a university where you need to score 700 to get in, but I only scored in the single digits.
She seriously suspected that Jiang Shu was deliberately targeting her.
Now, she feels that she has failed too many courses and needs to retake them.
"Gu Yu!"
"arrive!"
She quickly replied.
Jiang Shu should have continued to call the roll at this point, but he suddenly stopped and looked at Gu Yu who was sitting in the last row.
The eighteen-year-old girl is very cute, but her attitude towards studying is very poor.
So he said, "Gu Yu, you only scored 16 points in modern economics."
"Ha ha……"
There was a burst of laughter in the classroom. After all, the number 16 points was really funny.
Gu Yu lowered her head. She was going to go back to the compound and complain about Jiang Shu's behavior of exposing her scars.
Uncle Liu Hansheng is easy to talk to and likes me very much.
Just bear with it for now.
But Jiang Shu had no intention of letting her go.
"Gu Yu, your father is the chairman of Nanshan Group, right? He is also one of the founders of modern economy. I find it hard to imagine that since you applied for the economics major, you actually handed in a paper with 16 points. I think you are embarrassing Mr. Gu."
After Jiang Shu said this, no one laughed.
Because they only found out at this time that Gu Yu was actually the daughter of the world's richest man?
Oh my god!
Gu Dongsheng from Nanshan Group. Nanshan Group is a full-service real estate company with a scale of one trillion yuan, more than 10 million employees worldwide, and serving more than 200 million customers.
Gu Yu lowered his head and said nothing.
Jiang Shu continued, "The core content of modern economics is the exploration of modern economic structure. Fifteen years ago, the world's main economic structure was called the dollar structure, and the whole world was forced to become a victim of the dollar... At that time, it was Mr. Gu and his team who opened up a new economic battlefield, focusing on internal circulation and supplemented by external improvement of comprehensive strength, and forcibly dragged the Chinese currency out of the quagmire of dollar finance. Even so far, this incident is the greatest miracle in economic history. Gu Yu, don't you think it's embarrassing that you got 16 points on the test?
You have a greater advantage than others. You can study at Jiangzhou University with more than 500 points. You have to know that it is equivalent to taking someone else's place. In this case, you can at least not be worse than others, right? At least you have to prove that you are qualified to study at Jiangzhou University, right? "
Gu Yu clenched his hands so tightly that his nails were about to dig into his palms.
No one had ever spoken to her like this before, especially in front of so many classmates.
Jiang Shu clearly said that she was stupid and that even though she used connections to get into this school, she still couldn't make it.
Jiang Shu didn't consider her dignity or feelings at all.
If she said this in private, she might have accepted it, since she couldn't win an argument with Jiang Shu anyway.
But today, the shame is really about to explode.
"Gu Yu, in fact, you failed all the subjects. Other teachers gave you 60 points symbolically for your father's sake. These 60 points are not your ability and have nothing to do with you. 8 points and 16 points are your true level."
Gu Yu clenched his teeth.
Jiang Shu was still saying, "Mr. Gu is a man who is qualified to leave a deep mark in the history of world economy. If you can't pass the next class I'm going to teach, Gu Yu..."
Gu Yu suddenly stood up and stared at Jiang Shu. The whole class was stunned.
They were also confused today and didn't know why Jiang Shu suddenly targeted Gu Yu.
However, since I knew that Gu Yu was the daughter of the world's richest man, she looked more and more beautiful.
Gu Yu originally wanted to refute, saying that she had not planned to come to this university, and that it was her family who arranged for her to come. What does it have to do with her?
Why should this fault be placed on myself?
Jiang Shu, you think you are great just because you are smart? You can humiliate others like this?
But in the end, he controlled his emotions, left his seat, opened the back door of the classroom and ran out.
"You are considered absent today, and you will lose all your usual points!"
When I ran to the classroom door, Jiang Shu's words still floated over.
Jiangzhou University is not much different from other schools, they all have a regular score system. This is why Gu Yu was able to pass the exam. The teacher only needs to give the maximum regular score and give a little slack when marking the papers, and 60 points can be collected .
Even if she only wrote one solution, she would get points.
For a course like World Economics, she lost all her regular scores, which meant she had to get 100 points on the paper to pass. She had no hope in her life.
Anyway, she had no intention of passing the exam. Jiang Shu just wanted to see her make a fool of herself. The usual scores were completely useless.
She felt that even if she was not good enough and the study was difficult, she would at least be able to pass the exam or hover around the passing line.
Jiang Shu's two courses must have been designed to target her, causing her to score 16 and 8 points respectively, making her the shame of Jiangzhou University in the past decade.
She really wanted to rush up to the podium and hit someone!
After leaving school, she went straight back to the compound because she felt she could no longer stay in school.
Her father was about to come home today, so she decided to talk to him about this matter. If she couldn't transfer schools, she would repeat her senior year of high school.
Anyway, the farther away from the river and trees, the better.
It is called a compound, but in fact it is a very large village.
When she took a taxi back to the village gate, she saw several old men playing poker at the entrance.
Maybe others don’t know, but she knows very well that these people have the most say in the village.
This includes my grandfather.
Of course, the most powerful one is Li Wanhe's grandfather. There is one thing that the outside world does not know at all, but the people in the compound know it very well.
Twenty years ago, after harvesting several small economies around the world, the US dollar still could not make up for its own gap, so it began to frantically raise and lower interest rates, trying to boost the Chinese economy and harvest China's wealth.
As a result, China's stock market fell flat, real estate funds were transferred, and in the end the US dollar got nothing.
Especially eighteen years ago, when China returned to the world's number one position, it represented a breakthrough in the United States' technological hegemony.
This is fatal to the entire dollar system.
Along with various problems, the global oil settlement system has begun to change, and the dollar's dominant position is in jeopardy.
Similar to the low level of the US dollar, you either remain the dominant power forever, or you die.
There is no such thing as taking a step back and still being able to feel better.
In order to maintain its financial hegemony, the U.S. dollar began to stir up trouble crazily and wantonly attack China's financial system.
It was really insane at that time.
It impacted the foreign exchange market, pushed up crude oil prices, and made large-scale inflows and outflows of A-shares, treating A-shares as its own backyard.
Unfortunately, none of this worked.
Gu Yu was not too clear about what happened specifically. She only knew that eight years ago, the U.S. dollar became desperate and brought out the long-forgotten gold system in an attempt to restore its position as the world's hegemon.
China has a lot of gold, but it is mainly in the private sector, and there is a shortage of official gold.
At that time, within a very short period of time, Hua Xia Finance almost suffered a devastating blow.
As for how the attack was carried out, with her current level of knowledge, she could not understand it.
All I know is that the village held several meetings in succession, and then... Li Wanhe's grandfather opened his treasure house, which contained 1,800 tons of gold...
She was still young at that time, but she could see her father fawning over Li Wanhe's grandfather, praising him as a god. He had foreseen the risks in advance and hoarded a large amount of gold just to deal a fatal blow to the US dollar.
Anyway, since that incident, the US dollar has become a joint currency.
Li Wan and his grandfather rarely mentioned this matter.
I heard recently that he started hoarding gold again.
The main reason why Gu Yu and Li Wanhe are not familiar with each other is Jiang Shu.
After all, Jiang Shu is the pride of the compound and Li Wanhe's grandson. Li Wanhe will definitely support his own grandson and doesn't think much of Gu Yu.
Her grades are average and she's just cute, with an above-average appearance and figure. She can't compare to her sister Gu Man.
Li Wanhe likes Gu Man more and wants her to be his granddaughter-in-law.
"Gu Yu, aren't you at school today? Why are you back?"
Zhou Youfang asked.
Gu Yu hurriedly said, "Grandpa Zhou, I don't have classes in the morning. Is my dad back? I have something to talk to him about..."
"I'm back, but I just came back a while ago. Go and take a look at my house."
"Yeah, okay."
She walked to the gate and passed the biometrics, and she entered smoothly.
There was a special car waiting behind the door. I got in the car and arrived at my doorstep in just one minute.
What surprised her was that quite a few people came to her house.
Her mother and aunt were not there. There was only one woman present, whom she knew. She was Zhou Mo's mother.
One of the handsome middle-aged men came out with a smile when he saw her coming back, and said, "Gu Yu, you came at the right time. Help me see who has the better hand between your father and me! We are friends who have risked our lives for each other, you can't hurt me, right?"
Gu Yu: “…”
She and Uncle Liu Hansheng really have a life-long friendship.
She was only nine years old at the time and watched a car explode in front of her.
