Chapter 126 - A Bet (2/2)

“Jin City University?”

Chen Xu guffawed. “If he could get into Jin City University, I would have already entered HF.”

Jin City University was on the top ten list of the best universities in China. Among all the third generation of the Chen Family, only Chen Ning had high enough grades to be admitted into it.

Everyone shook their heads in disbelief. Unless Chen Fan’s mother donated a new library to the university, her son would never have a chance in attending the Jin City University through his grades.

“Is that right? What if I make it to Jin City University?”

Chen Fan asked abruptly.

“You? Jin City University?” Chen Xu raised his eyebrows and said: “If you can make the cut, I will call you Second Big Brother for the rest of my life, how about that?”

Chen Xu was the second child in his family, and therefore, people gave him the respectful nickname: Second Big Brother.

“Xiao Fan…” An Ya tugged at Chen Fan’s elbow.

“It’s OK, Sister An.” Chen Fan shrugged. “You don’t have to call me Second Big Brother if I win the bet, you just have to call Sister An Big Sister.”

“What if you lose?” Chen Xu narrowed his eyes and asked gloatingly.

“If I lose?” Chen Fan pitched his head and felt lighthearted by the question. “Whatever you want.”

“Very well, we have a bet!”

Chen Xu slammed the table and answered excitedly.

He was convinced that Chen Fan would not be able to get into Jin City University by himself. He was not alone as none of the cousins of Chen Fan believed in his claim.

Seeing Chen Fan had already sealed the bet, An Ya heaved a sigh. She planned to talk to her mother and use her connections to save Chen Fan’s face. She couldn’t let Chen Fan lose face in front of his cousins.

“Quit it; we are all from the same family. It’s just a joke, don’t take it personally.”

Seeing Chen An had risen to put a stop on this, Chen Xu sat down quietly.

“But I have to say that your Second Big Brother is right, you know. At your age, studying is the utmost important task for you. With a degree from a good university, you would open so many doors. You can either work in the government or take over your mother company; a degree will help you either way.” Chen An preached patronizingly to Chen Fan.

“A degree not only means your academic achievement, but it is also a testament to your abilities. If you can graduate business school from the HF with a master degree, you will instantly gain much more support from your subordinates compared to if you graduated from an unheard-of university.”

Chen An had spoken truthfully. A master degree from a renowned university was the dream of nearly all parents in China. Therefore, even those who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths were sometimes forced by their parents to attend a reputable school.

Chen Fan cracked a smile and kept his silence.

Chen An’s words might be useful to ordinary people; it had completely missed the point when used on Chen Fan.

He was the North Mystic Celestial Lord, how much did a degree mean to him? He would be a laughing stock among his fellow cultivators if he had to make a living using his degree.

Seeing Chen Fan’s indifferent expression, a disdainful expression flashed across Chen Ning’s face. In her mind, Chen Fan was just an arrogant brat, and one day, he would learn his lesson the hard way.

“Big Brother, what is our plan tonight?” Chen Xu asked impatiently. “One of my bros opened up a pub. Would you like to have some fun there?”

“Quit it, Second Big Brother. That bunch of delinquent friends of yours are only interested in debauchery and decadence. Brother Chen An works for the government, do you think it’s a good idea to take him to your friend’s place.”

“Well, you guys can decide then.” Chen Xu turned his palms up and gave up.

“Well, why don’t we go to THAT place?” A boy asked abruptly as light flickered in his eyes.
