Chapter 23
In the library, the air-conditioning was just the right temperature to cool down.
After carefully selecting, Jiang Cheng finally walked out of the dense bookshelves holding a copy of Paul Samuelson's Economics.
This book is a masterpiece in financial research. The author, Paul Samuelson, is a famous American economist, professor of economics at MIT, winner of the 1970 Nobel Prize in Economics, and the founder of welfare economics and modern econometrics.
This book has professional and detailed discussions on the three major parts of economics - political economics, sectoral economics, and technical economics. From macroeconomics to microeconomics, production to consumption, and the history of economic thought to the discussion of economic systems, it has a unique perspective and new insights.
The comprehensive and detailed basic knowledge content system is perfect for Jiang Cheng, a half-baked student with an unstable academic foundation, to re-lay the foundation.
In addition, Jiang Cheng's future goal is to systematically study investment, management, psychology, and master at least 2-3 foreign languages.
These are very important for Jiang Cheng, who is determined to build a multinational business empire.
There are many students studying hard in the Jiaotong University Library.
Jiang Cheng searched for a long time before he found an empty table by the window in an inconspicuous corner.
He sat down with a big horse and a golden knife, picked up the thick "Economics", and read it carefully.
At first, he thought he might be more repulsive to boring study.
After all, in the past ten years, he only played games, watched videos, ate and drank health care in his spare time...
He never touched the book!
But he never expected that since he opened the first page of "Economics", his mood has become extremely calm.
There is no boredom and boredom that he had before when facing study.
Instead, he enjoys this calm feeling very much.
The originally obscure content, in such an immersed state, has become understandable and easy to understand at a glance.
Jiang Cheng flipped through the pages one by one, reading very quickly, but he didn't feel like he was just swallowing it in one gulp. Instead, he felt extremely fulfilled.
He was completely immersed in the baptism of knowledge on his brain.
"Oh my god~ His talent for concentration is too strong!"
Muttering in his mouth, with a burst of ecstasy in his heart, Jiang Cheng instantly turned into an emotionless learning machine, immersed in the ocean of learning.
Unconsciously, the scenery outside the window changed from dazzling sunlight to golden afterglow, and finally to the lights on.
"Huh~"
Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Jiang Cheng stretched his waist hard, feeling that his heart filled with knowledge was extremely fulfilled at this moment.
It was just that his stomach was a little bit unconvincing and made a ruthless protest.
Putting the books back on the way he came, Jiang Cheng walked out of the library and headed towards the cafeteria.
It was already past mealtime, and most of the dining windows in the school cafeteria were preparing to close.
In the huge cafeteria hall, only a few students were still eating.
Jiang Cheng found a service window that was still open and ordered a set meal.
I don’t know if it was because they were about to close, or because they thought Jiang Cheng was a handsome guy, anyway, the auntie who was in charge of cooking today was particularly generous. She piled a stainless steel plate full of food like a mountain, and even stuffed two eggs.
Jiang Cheng walked to the cafeteria hall with the plate, and before he sat down, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a figure not far away.
Messy long hair, old high school summer uniform, and skinny like a rib.
—— It was the female academic bully who made Jiang Cheng rack his brains for a long time in class in the afternoon, Lu Xin.
With the curiosity of gossip, Jiang Cheng pretended to pass by the other person inadvertently, slowed down his pace, and turned his head to look.
I saw that she was holding a half-eaten Baiji steamed bun in her slender hand with distinct joints.
In the stainless steel plate in front of her, there was a pack of white-packaged Fuling pickled mustard tubers and a bowl of tomato soup without egg drop soup provided free of charge in the cafeteria.
"......"
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng looked at the plate in his hand again with a complicated expression.
Although he was not a sympathetic and nosy saint, perhaps it was because the other party was his classmate, or perhaps the other party was a girl.
Anyway, Jiang Cheng, who saw this situation with his own eyes, still felt very depressed in his heart.
He always believed that the world was a bitch, and it would only show its beauty to the rich.
And for the millions of people at the bottom of society like Lu Xin, the cruelty and reality revealed by this world made people helpless.
Looking at this girl, Jiang Cheng suddenly thoughtThinking of my past self, my most miserable self...
Isn't it the same?
No future, no hope.
In that darkest and most desolate time, Jiang Cheng, who suffered from the sneer of others, always had a certain expectation in his extremely inferior heart.
If...
If someone could give me a hand... Even if it was just a little encouragement, or even a look of affirmation, it would be good to see hope...
He thought, Lu Xin might have similar thoughts in the deepest part of her heart...?
"...?"
Perhaps she noticed Jiang Cheng behind her, and the girl who was chewing the cold and hard white steamed bun suddenly turned her head.
She obviously recognized Jiang Cheng as her classmate, but because she rarely interacted with others, especially the opposite sex, her expression looked a little confused and helpless.
"Ha...ha~ hello, classmate Lu Xin."
Since he was discovered by the other party, Jiang Cheng naturally had no need to hide, and simply sat next to the girl with his plate.
"Hello... Jiang... Jiang Cheng..."
The girl responded in a panic and wooden voice, stuttering.
Her little hands, which had nowhere to put, were tightly clasped on the thick book on the table.
—— "Monetary Finance", a classic work by the famous economist Frederick S. Mishkin, and it was the original English version.
Jiang Cheng recognized it at a glance.
His evaluation of Lu Xin suddenly rose to a higher level.
He did not agree with the absolute theory of test scores.
But he believed that a person who was willing to devote himself to learning from beginning to end - if he could be well trained, would definitely be a rare pillar of the country in the future.
Obviously, Lu Xin was definitely such a talent.
Jiang Cheng could pat her chest and guarantee this.
In the previous life, although I don’t know why Lu Xin dropped out of school, now that Jiang Cheng has discovered this rough gem, he naturally won’t let it go.
——Jiang Cheng’s future business empire definitely needs such an outstanding talent.
