Chapter 1034 - 1032: Trying to Burn the Bridge After Crossing the River?
Zhu Qianyu shook her head, "It’s nothing, these things don’t matter to me anymore!"The young master saw her insistence and didn’t stop her, quietly waiting for her to continue.
"This time, Young Master Yan’s selection process offers two hundred million as a betrothal gift to those who pass, right? My dad promised our sisters that whoever wins Young Master Yan’s favor will get half of it. My sister went all out for that two hundred million!"
The young master secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
It turned out that she had no intention of joining the selection; it was her sister who was participating.
"So, your sister went to participate in the selection?" Although the young master already knew the answer, he wanted to hear her confirm it herself.
Zhu Qianyu nodded, "Yes, my sister had someone send me back early in the morning. She joined the selection group last night. Can you tell me more? I’m really worried about my sister!"
Zhu Qianyu’s answer brightened the young master’s heart entirely.
Now, he was willing to tell her everything he knew.
"Yes, this is a big deal. Pretty much all the girls of the right age in the upper echelons of society signed up. I heard that thousands of people entered for the preliminary selection. Once you pass, you move onto the first round. There’s no limit to the number of participants in each round, as long as you pass, you automatically advance to the next round of selection."
Zhu Qianyu looked up at the clock, it was 1:30.
"Have the results of the preliminary selection been announced now?"
Zhu Qianyu was very clear that with her sister’s abilities and looks, she would definitely pass the preliminary selection. However, deep down, she hoped her sister would be eliminated in the first round.
The young master had only considered this as a joke before and didn’t care about the outcome. But seeing Zhu Qianyu so tense and concerned, he picked up the phone and made a call.
The person on the other end quickly informed him of the results.
"A thousand people were selected in the preliminary round, but the list of names is confidential."
Zhu Qianyu was a little disappointed, contemplating as she took a sip of her drink, and asked, "What kind of person is this Young Master Yan?"
The Ji Family and the Yan Family had business dealings. Ji Huan had met Young Master Yan several times.
From a business perspective, he was a respected adversary.
In business, Ji Huan rarely admired anyone. Aside from his own family, Young Master Yan was one of the few outsiders he respected.
"This Young Master Yan’s full name is Yan Han. He’s twenty-eight years old, took over the Yan Family and Tong Family enterprises at eighteen. His assets are a mystery, but he’s definitely one of the top tycoons in the country. His personality is a bit odd, sometimes cold, sometimes talkative, and it all depends on his mood. Besides leading some top-notch businesses, he also delves into some gray area industries that are hard to quantify. That’s why his exact wealth is unfathomable."
Zhu Qianyu knew Young Master Yan was formidable, but she hadn’t expected him to be this remarkable.
After hearing all the information Ji Huan had, her face turned pale.
"He’s really that amazing?"
The young master knew it was probably the gray area industries that had scared her.
"Yes, from a business perspective, he’s a genius. As for other things, I’m not too sure."
Her sister’s participation in the selection was a done deal, and whether she could make it to the end was still unknown. He kept some details to himself to not scare her further.
"Oh..." Zhu Qianyu’s attention was indeed diverted by his words, and her expression improved slightly.
"Actually, you don’t need to worry so much. According to our analysis, this selection by Young Master Yan is merely a farce."
The young master shared the gossip he had gathered from his family last night to comfort Zhu Qianyu.
"Really? How so?" Zhu Qianyu looked at him, surprised.
"Young Master Yan is very handsome, comparable to a star. A wealthy, handsome twenty-eight-year-old man at his prime. Do you think such a man would need to use a method like this to choose a wife?"
Zhu Qianyu tilted her head, glanced at Ji Huan, and although she didn’t know if he was wealthy, she assumed many women would be willing to marry him, let alone Young Master Yan, who had both wealth and looks.
"He really doesn’t need to!"
"Exactly, the selection process he devised is likely very difficult, and there probably won’t be any women who pass it."
The young master didn’t know the exact details of Young Master Yan’s selection process, but he could imagine it being very stringent and eccentric.
As for why he could imagine it, it’s possibly a common trait among clever men.
But his firm belief was met with Zhu Qianyu’s disagreement.
"That may not be true!" Zhu Qianyu frowned.
"Oh? Why do you think that?" This time, the young master was curious.
"My sister is not only beautiful but also talented in everything. I don’t know anything that could stump her!"
The young master laughed at Zhu Qianyu, realizing that in her eyes, her sister was like a goddess, not a human!
"Don’t worry, anyway, Young Master Yan’s intention with this selection process is to not marry anyone. So he won’t let anyone make it to the end!"
The young master, ignoring Zhu Qianyu’s worry-filled face, held firm to his original view.
After hearing Ji Huan’s several assurances, although Zhu Qianyu still felt unsettled, she did feel a lot more relieved than initially.
And the young master, upon learning Zhu Qianyu had no intention of meeting Young Master Yan, was in high spirits. To prevent her from worrying about her sister, he shared many amusing stories and gossip to chat with Zhu Qianyu all afternoon.
As the sky darkened, the young master stood up, "Let’s go, I’ll treat you to dinner."
Zhu Qianyu was enjoying her chat with Ji Huan, and upon his suggestion, she glanced out the window, realizing how late it was.
"No, go home and accompany your family. I’ll have a free meal in the cafeteria."
Zhu Qianyu was very satisfied with the cost-free living there and very fond of the cafeteria meals.
However, the young master ignored her, "Come on, have dinner with me. My family won’t miss me, or are you planning to burn bridges after crossing?"
What the young master meant was that his family was all happily paired up. Even Beibei and Guoguo were always snuggling and hugging, while he, the single one, always felt rather lonely on holidays.
Usually, when Zhu Qianyu asked him out, it never took up his evening time. Most of the time, they would meet in the afternoon for a coffee and a casual chat.
