Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Needing Hundreds of Thousands

In his view, Cindy Clarke and Adrian Zhekova were from two different worlds, and it was impossible for them to be together.

Yes, there were trust-fund babies who dated internet celebrities, but that was just for fun, and both took what they needed from the relationship.

Those trust-fund babies wouldn’t bring the internet celebrities to meet their parents, would they?

Only when the relationship was serious would it come to the point of meeting their parents!

Ian Morris, somewhat unable to accept this, stared in a daze in the direction where Cindy had left.

“She’s gone, stop staring.” Charles Payne, Ian Morris’s mentor, joked as he approached.

He had deliberately stayed behind to create an opportunity for Ian Morris and didn’t follow earlier.

“She’s my high school classmate,” Ian Morris said, walking back with Charles Payne, “She was originally at Nork University. I don’t know how she ended up in Belfard. I haven’t even had a chance to ask her.”

“I really didn’t expect that Cain Velman is your high school classmate,” Charles Payne laughed.

“Mentor, you also know Cain Velman?” Ian Morris was a little surprised.

“The young ladies in our hospital often watch her videos. How could I not know?” Charles Payne said, “And, my sister is a fan of Cain Velman’s.” “Did you say she’s originally from Nork City?” Charles Payne asked.

‘Yes,” Ian Morris said with some regret, “She did really well on her college entrance exams back then. Belfard University, S University, she could pick any. But in the end, she chose the local Nork University. I heard it’s because Nork

University waived her tuition fees for all four years.”

“Oh, her grades must have been really good. After all, it’s quite difficult for out-of-town students to get into prestigious universities like Belfard and S

University. I thought most internet celebrities didn’t have such good grades.” Even if they managed to attend college, it wouldn’t necessarily be at a prestigious university.

Although Cindy ended up at Nork University, her grades were good enough for her to attend Belfard.

“But, is her family’s financial situation not very good? Otherwise, why would she give up prestigious universities just for waived tuition fees?” Charles Payne asked, “You know, there’s a huge difference between prestigious universities and ordinary ones after graduation.”

“From the moment of job interviews, the competitiveness of graduates from prestigious universities is much stronger than those of ordinary ones. Especially during recruitment at well-known large companies, if all else is equal, graduates from prestigious universities are definitely given priority.

That’s just during the job application process. The development trajectories of those who join large companies and those who join smaller ones are definitely not the same.”

“Especially in big cities, there are so many prestigious university graduates that ordinary ones are at a disadvantage. If you can’t get in, that’s one thing, but to have the opportunity and not go… How bad must one’s family situation be?” If a family has a child with such great ambition and even a little ability, wouldn’t they do everything they could, even if it meant selling the family pot, to send their child to a prestigious university?

This is one of the top universities in the country, after all.

Ian Morris shook his head and said, “I don’t know much about her family situation. We weren’t in the same class, but I guess it’s just average. I remember in high school, she was very low-key, and dressed modestly.”

“That’s true,” Charles Payne nodded, “But it seems that as long as one works hard, success is possible when the timing is right.”

“My sister told me that Cain Velman can charge up to several hundred thousand for a single ad placement in her videos,” Charles Payne said.

Ian Morris gasped, “That much? Really?”
