I AM A MATCH MAKER AT TAOBAO [UPDATES ONCE IN A BLUE MOON]

Ch. 29

Frankly, Shen Lisa was a nobody during those four years at university. She was very beautiful but had never received the treatment reserved for beauties. The reason was  Shen Lisa had caused an uproar when she passed the university entrance exam for the Imperial Finance Department.

However, Shen Lisa’s level was clearly not enough for a well-known university and major in the country. She even had a hard time coping with the usual exams. In the first semester, she failed four assignments out of ten. For one particular assignment, she had to seek help from her classmates and only managed to pass after two attempts.

Therefore, she spent all four years in books during university. Subjects that others could easily pass, she had to put a lot of work in order to pass. When others were dating, she was studying. Even when others were shopping, she was still studying. She had never been a bookworm in high school but became one in university.

Naturally, Shen Lisa extremely loathed the major she applied for that year. There was a time when everyone was hired one after another by well-known companies on the financial street, received offers from foreign countries or accepted into ivy league schools. Yet she trembled when only a small company hired her. God knows, they must have been attracted by her major and school, not because of her individual ability. In regards to financial knowledge, she knew a lot but did not know how to apply much of it.

So from the moment, Xin Ming discovered her, she agreed without any hesitation. Afterwards, whenever others asked where she would be working, she would confidently reply: I am going to be a big star!

To put it plainly, this was actually an escape. At that time, even if it was not to become a star and someone directed her on another route, she would still choose it without any hesitation. As long as she could escape the financial circle and survive in a field then she would choose it!

Now that she had joined Diandi, Shen Lisa had more confidence to face the current financial elites that were her former god-like classmates. However, she still had no current achievements to show so it would be better to not join in the fun.

Unexpectedly, everyone mentioned her when she said no.

Wang Jing: I heard Shen Lisa is now a celebrity, are you free?

Chen Can: Come? Just come. It would be a pity if the class beauty did not come.

Shen Lisa had already muted the messages from the group chat long ago because she really did not want to make herself unhappy.  The discussion topics were familiar to her but she could not insert herself. Additionally, the distance between everyone felt bigger and bigger since graduation.

This day, while Shen Lisa was leg stretching in the dance room, Guo Tianyu called.

“Lisa, do you have time to attend the class reunion this weekend?”

Shen Lisa hesitated and replied, “I don’t think so. This week I still need to attend physique class and next month…”

Before she could finish, Guo Tianyu laughed, “Lisa, it won’t take too much time. It’s just a meal with our classmates. There are not many classmates in the Imperial City so don’t skip out. There would not be more than ten people so let’s all meet. Also,  Mingyu will be coming. He even asked if you would be coming and I already said you would. You must not let me tell a lie!”

Shen Lisa heard Cheng Mingyu’s name and her heart slightly fluttered.

Cheng Mingyu was the dream guy in their class and even in their entire department. He was good looking, had great grades and his personality was also bossy. A proper male protagonist in a novel. Truthfully, Shen Lisa had some feelings for him but even these faint feelings could not prevent her hatred towards studying.
