QT: Against My Will (Volume 2)

5.7 - Binfinity - The Sleepless Elite's Wife

Lu Kai didn't want to owe anything to that Bing Shi; he didn't want to feel indebted to anyone.

Xue Bi's and his parents cut out their stream of money because they refused to attend a party with Zu Kai. In short, they had no interest in meeting other people. Xue Bi made a small fortune with her lab by having other companies bring her their products to be tested. There was also him, accompanying her the whole time.

With the saved up money, they opened their first business, which wasn't very successful due to them having unrealistic visions and expectations. They were too hyped up to start an independent life. It collapsed fast.

Nobody took them seriously, always taking them for children who only knew how to play around. For how long could they last against their powerful families? Not for too long.

Forced to get out of their comfort zone, they ended up going to the parties, realizing how socializing and connections were important to a person's path to success, more than their academic achievements. They learned a lot from that failure. If only his health condition didn't worsen.

The restroom attendant couldn't help but stare at the towering figure of the man who hurriedly exited the public bathroom, standing at an impressive 6.2 feet (189cm). He had an unmistakable air of mixed heritage about him.

While passing by, Lu Kai didn't forget to send her a slight nod as a farewell sign.

Water droplets trickled from his jet-black hair, and his cerulean eyes held her in their gaze, their intensity making it difficult for her to tear her eyes away.

After he departed, the restroom attendant couldn't help but clutch her heart, her thoughts racing, "Oh my... who was that handsome gentleman?"

After pawing away a few gold nuggets that he borrowed from the ring, Lu Kai bought a few necessities and decided to stay a few nights in a cheap motel.

Dropping a steamy hot bag on the desk table, he could finally stuff his starving stomach with some homemade delivery. Throwing his table manners over his shoulders, he put the spoon away and poured a whole congee down his throat while unpacking his new laptop.

Switching it on, he surfed the web for a few hours, searching for an opportunity to earn fast money, legally. This world was a lot more developed compared to his previous one, especially in the IT department. He wasn't confident enough to go against those top-notch experts.

Rubbing his eyes, Lu Kai sent an application to every low-tier college in the vicinity. Changing his mind, he sent a few to high-tier ones too. His past academic problems would affect his admission chances, but he didn't mind.

He carefully described to those admissions "experts" his family issues and his lack of maturity. Of course, he didn't forget to add a little detail that would probably give him a straight ticket inside.

A few days passed by, and Lu Kai received one phone call after another.

Institute of Nuclear Engineering...

After the phone calls, the school authorities decided to meet up with Lu Kai as soon as possible.

The old dean switched his gaze between the monitor and the young man before him, "Ehm...Mr...."

"Lu Kai... I want to keep my identity a secret."
