Buying a car is actually something anyone can do if they just bite the bullet.
Maintaining a car is what really takes a toll.
Just paying for insurance is a considerable sum, and the better the car, the more expensive the insurance.
Li Xingya's consumption philosophy was all about saving energy.
As long as she could maintain a basic standard of living, everything else was negotiable...
Oh, she recently had a new task. According to Chen Yusheng, she had to eat well; only with sufficient nutrition would she have the strength to work.
Li Xingya deeply agreed with this. How should she put it? Working with Chen Yusheng, the workload was indeed quite heavy. After a long day, it was really a bit overwhelming, and she needed time to adapt.
Mental labor actually consumes a lot of energy too.
Fortunately, Su Bai would give her a subsidy. Li Xingya didn't know exactly how much it was. This opportunity itself was already very rare. She would have been willing to work for free, so a subsidy was truly an unexpected bonus.
Over there, her roommates were still gossiping about the mysterious local guy.
Guo Xiaoyan still hoped for the best, expecting their classmate and that mysterious local guy to have a happy ending. Speaking of which, it was actually quite common for girls from their school to find boyfriends at the neighboring Jiangcheng University.
After all, it was a Normal University, where girls outnumbered boys, and Jiangda had many excellent guys.
But Miss Manicure was different. Miss Manicure claimed to have studied physiognomy. Looking at a photo of Xue Tao that she had dug up from some unknown group chat, she launched into a detailed facial reading analysis.
She said the guy had shifty eyes and was plagued by bad luck, and that nothing good would come from being with him.
"Sister, that can't be right. Last time you analyzed the photo of that art guy, you said he was definitely old money, but it later turned out he was just a scammer! Face reading really isn't reliable, is it?" Guo Xiaoyan complained.
Hearing this, Miss Manicure's expression froze for a moment, and she tried to save face, "That's different. I made a mistake that time, but this time I'm serious. Just watch, this guy is absolutely unreliable."
Whether he was reliable or not was another matter. Miss Manicure genuinely found it hard to accept that a classmate she saw every single day had suddenly hooked up with a boyfriend from the neighboring Jiangcheng University, especially one who clearly came from a wealthy family.
Although they often talked about staying away from men, that was just college girls acting edgy. In reality, they were all quite repressed, each secretly hoping to find a perfect boyfriend who would make them look good when taken out.
Guo Xiaoyan had even participated in a mixer at Jiangda, which ultimately ended in failure.
This was also within Miss Manicure's expectations. Although Guo Xiaoyan was the life of the party in their dorm and had a great personality, her looks could hardly be considered an advantage.
In a setting where everyone is a stranger, impressing the opposite sex and capturing their attention ultimately relies on appearance.
Without looks, no matter how beautiful the inside is, there's no room to show it.
Actually, when it came to looks, the one with the best natural foundation in the dorm was Li Xingya.
Unfortunately, this girl's mind was completely occupied with working part-time. She didn't dress up at all; you could even say she dressed down. Therefore, she only gave off the impression of a neat, pretty girl, but nothing outstanding. Especially in a Normal University where girls generally loved to dress up, she seemed quite plain.
Sigh, this was a good thing.
If Li Xingya ever got serious about her looks, wouldn't it make her roommates look completely washed out?
Thinking of this, Miss Manicure suddenly thought of something amusing, "Oh, speaking of which, there's a dorm at Jiangda known as the Goddess Dorm. Three out of the four girls are huge beauties. That's really rare, right? I feel like the girls at Jiangda are generally... uh, not very much to look at."
These words bordered on mean, but theoretically, there was nothing wrong with them.
After all, one was a top-tier university, and the other was an ordinary undergraduate college. The difference in admission scores was massive. And as everyone realized during their school days, the average attractiveness of female straight-A students was indeed slightly lower than that of girls who didn't like studying.
Of course, this didn't rule out the rich, beautiful, and all-around excellent girls, but those were extremely rare cases and couldn't be discussed as the norm.
Even Guo Xiaoyan couldn't help but nod, "Yeah, that really is rare."
"I just read an article earlier, let me find it for you... I don't know where they dug up these photos. They seem to be all Jiangda students, pulled from school news and event pictures." Miss Manicure frantically tapped on her phone.
"It seems those beauties aren't just pretty, but also quite outstanding."
"Yeah..."
Li Xingya also couldn't resist leaning over to take a look.
She wanted to know what the Goddess Dorm at Jiangda looked like.
She had only just heard about this. After all, Li Xingya generally paid zero attention to this kind of gossip.
As a result, she spotted Chen Yusheng's photo at first glance.
It was from an academic news report about their laboratory. The photo was actually a bit blurry, but a tall beauty like Chen Yusheng was simply too conspicuous, so Li Xingya recognized her instantly.
To think... the Goddess Dorm actually included Teacher Chen...
Although Chen Yusheng didn't allow Li Xingya to call her Teacher, she still secretly called her that. Mainly because she felt this girl was just too amazing. She was only a freshman, yet she already knew so many things.
Moreover, despite her cold attitude, when she was teaching her, she was extremely patient and focused, providing nothing but solid, useful knowledge.
In fact, in any industry, a teacher's attitude is the least important thing. As long as they are willing to teach you real skills, what does it matter if they scold you a few times a day? Only kindergarteners care so much about attitude; it's not a service industry.
"Rumor has it that in this dorm, there's a top student who publishes papers, and a master who became an elite in sales before even graduating..."
Seeing that both of her roommates were quite interested, Miss Manicure thoroughly satisfied her desire to gossip.
She finally concluded, "Outstanding Jiangda girls like them definitely wouldn't date a local guy, right? So, the local guys have no choice but to extend their claws toward our Normal University."
"..."
You have to admit, although Miss Manicure's reasoning process was a bit bizarre, it inexplicably hit the nail on the head regarding Xue Tao's psychology.
It was precisely because Xue Tao was under too much pressure dating Liu Yuanyuan that he hoped to find a sense of relaxation with a girl from the neighboring Normal University.
As for whether he could get his wish, that was another matter.
Guo Xiaoyan listened in awe, and suddenly asked with a wild imagination, "Then what would their boyfriends be like?"
Speaking of this, Miss Manicure got even more excited. "I heard a really crazy rumor, but it might actually be true... The man these three goddesses love is the exact same guy!"
"Huh?" Guo Xiaoyan looked completely disbelieving. "Wouldn't they fight over that?"
"No, no, that guy is incredibly powerful. It's said that he usually lives in Ascott, that super luxurious apartment by the river. The annual rent is over a million."
"Rent?! Over a million!"
Guo Xiaoyan's mouth dropped open into a huge O shape. This completely shattered her worldview!
