Her skin was fair and her hair was permed and medium length.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Jiaojiao’s mother was incredibly happy when she saw Jian Yiling. She adored Jian Yiling even though it was her first time meeting her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She grasped Jian Yiling’s right hand and enthusiastically said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Yiling, I finally got to meet you! My daughter is incredibly lucky to have you as her friend! Thanks to you, my daughter actually managed to get into university!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Jiaojiao’s mother knew that Jian Yiling was incredibly smart. She also knew that due to Jian Yiling’s influence, Hu Jiaojiao made significant progress in her studies during high school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, in Hu Jiaojiao’s mother’s mind, Jian Yiling was a god-like existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Hu Jiaojiao’s mother slipped a credit card into Jian Yiling’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Yiling, I simply loved those bags you gave me last time! However, I can’t just take them! They’re way too expensive! Therefore, you must take this card! The password is Hu Jiaojiao’s birthday!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those were gifts to Hu Jiaojiao,” Jian Yiling replied. She didn’t want to accept the credit card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, yes. I understand. However, the gifts were way too expensive! Furthermore, Hu Jiaojiao gave all of them to me. I can’t just accept all of them! That’d be taking advantage of you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Jiaojiao’s mother insisted on giving Jian Yiling the money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This matter had been on her mind for a long time. Today, she finally had the chance to do so!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Jiaojiao hurriedly said: “Yiling, just accept the card. If you don’t take it, my mother won’t be able to sleep well at night!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, yes! I wouldn’t be able to sleep well at night!” Hu Jiaojiao’s mother echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Jian Yiling was not good at such a conversation, she said nothing more. She slipped the card into her bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the three of them walked to the launch site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the seats at the conference were not numbered, anyone with an invitation could just enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them found seats near the back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hu Jiaojiao, if there are limited-edition bags, you need to buy them for me! I heard that there’s some sort of technology where you can buy things using a QR code!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mother, XDL’s product launch event is completely different from supermarkets! How could they possibly be the same?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I love supermarkets! You can grab whatever to what. In addition, there are so many bargains. Even though our family has a lot of money now, I still love taking advantage of bargains!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hu family had billions of dollars. However, Hu Jiaojiao’s mother still enjoyed bargaining at supermarkets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was willing to bargain for a few dollars at supermarkets yet she didn’t even blink when it came to purchasing limited-edition bags that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Waaa, this product launch event is so high-tech,” Hu Jiaojiao’s mother exclaimed. She was completely amazed by the arrangement of the venue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mother, please keep your voice down. Don’t disturb others,” Hu Jiaojiao reminded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Hu Jiaojiao was also super amazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ooooo, true. I will keep my voice down.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where did this country bumpkin come from? Have you not seen the world before?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman in the seat next to Hu Jiaojiao’s mother snapped impatiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tall woman dressed in fashionable clothes looked at Hu Jiaojiao, Hu Jiaojiao’s mother, and Jian Yiling in contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three of them stuck out like a sore thumb. They dressed completely differently from everyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone else wore dazzling clothes. Men were in suits and ties whilst the woman wore custom-made dresses or work clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Jian Yiling and Hu Jiaojiao dressed incredibly casually.. They looked like average university students.\u003C\u002Fp>",686,"2026-06-06T02:09:07.122Z",1,"novelbin.me","e30af2bc142ac4fe4c500d90a728df6b055172d999e97bc8c9d6d25a90668a18","from-sidekick-to-bigshot-chapter-919","from-sidekick-to-bigshot-chapter-917",1465,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-sidekick-to-bigshot-cover.jpg"]
