Wan Jingying had been abroad for, what, just two or three years? He managed to get his PhD in just two or three years?
Chu Chen felt a bit surprised.
Wan Jingying kept talking:
"Actually, I didn't even want to come back to this country. It's so much better abroad; things are rubbish here."
"But I had no choice. A big shot invited me over multiple times to be his chief adviser."
Wan Jingying conveyed a sense of helplessness.
"He's in Shanghai. You might know him—the billionaire chairman of Zhong Group, Mr. Zhong Guanghui."
"I didn't want to come, but I couldn't withstand Chairman Zhong's repeated invitations."
The truth was, Wan Jingying had returned to China solely because he couldn't stay abroad any longer, having been expelled from school.
It wasn't easy, but his family managed to pull some strings and got him a connection with a department manager at Zhong Group.
He was here today to treat that department manager to a meal.
