Bo Jingyi and Sun Li were childhood friends. As one was from a family in politics and the other from a military family, both of them had strict upbringings.

However, their personalities were greatly different from each other, and with them being in different grades, they hardly kept in touch anytime Bo Jingyi was not in the city.

“How’s your brother? I heard he got promoted again. Isn’t he too young to be a Mayor?” Someone asked Sun Li.

The promotion had happened a while back, but neither of them had been successful in making Sun Li come out for dinner.

Now that she was here, they wanted to try and get some gossip out of her mouth.

Sun Li knew what they doing and just shrugged dismissively, “he’s not the first young person to advance that quickly. As long as you are capable enough, the sky is the limit.”

Bo Jingyi smiled as she heard Sun Li’s response thinking that she had indeed changed a lot from the past.

“The legendary Qin Family’s first son is the first and youngest General, he already created the record 3 years ago and from what I have heard, he has climbed about two ranks higher now,”

For the next thirty minutes, the group of six talked about the Qin family and other top families in the capital.

Bo Jingyi did more of the talking as she had the most experience and stayed in the capital.

“I heard that the Second Young Master is the most impressive. The two brothers aren’t in competition and other young masters in the capital treat the Second Young Master Qin as a god,” someone started as she remembered a gossip that she had heard online.

Bo Jingyi’s eyes deepened when she said that and she smiled.

“He is the most capable one among them,” then she turned to Sun Li.

“Li’er, my father said Second Young Master Qin came to your brother’s party, is that true?”

Despite going to the capital, she had realised after a year that meeting Qin Yichen was no easy task. When she came back home and tried to get help from her father, he had told her to forget it and focus on another person.

But how could there be another person like him? As she heard about the gossip of him going to the Sun family sometime, she made someone plan this dinner and then invited Sun Li out.

Sun Li looked at her from her side eyes. With her instincts she could already tell that Bo Jingyi had interest in him. Thinking up to how she had seen Qin Yichen with Rong Yue more than once she suddenly didn’t feel like responding.

“There seemed to have been such a guest, I went upstairs early that night,” Sun Li lied.

“You guys, I invited a new friend of mine over, from the Tong family,” one of the girls announced as she looked at her phone.

“Tong Yang?” Sun Li asked, her nose scrunching up in disgust.

“Yes, that’s true, you both attend City A high school.”

“Did you know that she scored full marks for the college entrance examination?”

Sun Li nodded. However, even after seeing that screenshot, she still felt like something was wrong somehow.

Since they were in the same class, she knew that Tong Yang’s grades weren’t too bad because she sat beside Rong Yue.

In the past, Rong Yue didn’t have her guards up against her and during normal school examinations, tests and assignments, she would usually copy from Rong Yue.

It was an open secret. It was even clearer after the both of them separated, Tong Yang’s ranking in class had dropped before the college entrance exams.

Now she had full marks?

Bo Jingyi didn’t know the back story that Sun Li knew but she was only in her first year of college and knew what the college entrance exams were like so when she heard that Tong Yang had full marks, she couldn’t hide her surprise.

“How is that possible? Even the best students in the past had never gotten full marks!”

The girl that called Tong Yang over chuckled arrogantly and pulled out her phone, “see her aggregate, she really scored full marks,”

“Wow,”

Just as she finished showing her the screenshot, Tong Yang walked in. Even though it was a casual meet and eat, she had dressed like she was going on a first date and even applied make up.

As soon as Bo Jingyi saw her, she instinctively frowned as she felt like the aura that Tong Yang carried didn’t seem like that of an intelligent person.

However, she didn’t say anything and waited for them to be introduced.

“Jingyi, meet Tong Yang.”

Tong Yang eyes gleamed as she looked at Bo Jingyi. From her dressing to her aura and her looks, everything gave out a nice and elegant feeling.

“Miss Bo, I have heard so much about you already but I didn’t expect that you were this beautiful,” Tong Yang fawned shamelessly.

Bo Jingyi smiled and returned the greeting. Tong Yan settled down too with her shoulders raised high.

“Sun Li, have you checked your results already?” Tong Yang asked looking for a way to bring her results into the conversation.

“Yes, I got 570” Sun Li’s shrug already made it clear that she didn’t care about the score like that.

Also, even though they were in City A, excluding her parents support, her three brothers were all doing well.

With her first brother in the military and her second brother in the capital, she didn’t have to care about so much.

However Tong Yang was on a high from her results and didn’t use her brain.

“Even with all that studying you did with Rong Yue, you still scored below 600? I wondered what she scored.”

Before Sun Li could reply, someone else interrupted. “Isn’t Rong Yue that girl that won the championship? What did she score?”

Tong Yang felt uncomfortable as Rong Yue’s international championship was talked about. However, she knew that since Rong Yue’s papers were swapped with hers, she was definitely going to have a lower score.

“Sun Li is her friend, I don’t know anything about her,” she lied through her teeth.

Bo Jingyi was disappointed just from watching Tong Yang.

Even though her scores were good, she was not good at reading the room and knowing how to handle situations.

This time of person even with a good grade would find it hard to climb to the top as she wore her schemes on her face. She didn’t want them to start a conversation around their grades and shifted the topic away.

However, as much as she didn’t want that, it was a common topic amongst the other girls and she could only look on as the girls all praised Tong Yang and asked about how she studied for the exam.

Sun Li was the first to stand up.

“You guys, I’ll get going now, my curfew time is in an hour,”

“Ahh, you have a curfew time even after examinations? As expected of a military family!”

Sun Li gave no reply to the girl and left.

Bo Jingyi waited a while more before also leaving.

As soon as they left, Tong Yang grabbed her friend’s hands, “Young Miss Bo is so elegant,”

“Hmmm, I heard that despite skipping a grade and going to college ahead of us, her grades in college is still impressive,”

“Can you help me invite her to my celebration party tomorrow?” Tong Yang asked, revealing her intentions.

The bigger the identity of her guests, the more connections her family would be able to build. Also, she felt like she would make a better impression on Bo Jingyi if she saw her tomorrow when she would be the center of everyone’s attention.

“It’s hard to bring those two out of their house, but I’ll ask her and see what she thinks,”

The remaining four of them talked for a while more before splitting up.

Tong Yang left there feeling on top of the world.

She had no idea that this was the last moment of glory she would have about the matter.

Back in the capital,

Rong Yue and Qin Yichen had finished lunch since. Since the weather was not bad, she followed him back into the garden with her laptop.

“You should use this with all the time you spend looking at your computer,” Qin Yichen passed her a black case that was obviously a glasses case.

Rong Yue looked at the sleek and low key case. From the feel, she could tell that the material used in making the case wasn’t just any material.

“Thank you,”

The glasses inside was just like the case, black all around other than the lenses but it looked solid and sturdy. It was exactly the kind of style that she would have gone for.

After putting it on, she went back to work immediately. As she had a purpose, Rong Yue didn’t want to waste time on anything else.

Infinity was going to launch in two weeks and the paper works was almost done.

The first launch was the game that could be downloaded on the store and every gadget that had access to their web store.

However, before the next update, she wanted to create and release the virtual reality version of the game and she needed to prepare the machines that would make that possible.

Just thinking of all she had to do made her unable to be too relaxed and her fingers flew fast across the keyboard.

The both of them sat together in silent harmony until Qin Yichen’s phone rang.

Seeing that it was the Minister of Education, Qin Yichen picked after the third ring.

“President Qin,”
