I Have a Wealth Gathering Array-Chapter 385: The Uselessness of Studying

The entire private room seemed to have quieted down a lot.

Earlier, Zhang Xiang said he didn’t go to college, and then Chen Jiandong deliberately introduced his university, which was obviously pointed out with clear intent.

Nowadays, a higher education is considered a plus in many people’s eyes.

Not only that, Chen Jiandong also announced that he was pursuing Lin Xiaoke, with obvious provocation.

"Xiaoke, rivals in love meeting, are about to fight!"

Upon hearing Chen Jiandong’s words, a girl typed a few words on her phone and showed them to Lin Xiaoke.

Who here is a fool? Earlier, Zhang Xiang gave flowers, which clearly expressed his pursuit of Lin Xiaoke; otherwise, he wouldn’t have given roses, the bouquet that symbolizes love.

The expression "rivals in love meeting, red-eyed with rage" perfectly describes the current situation.

At this moment, Lin Xiaoke frowned slightly. Chen Jiandong had pretty good traits, and she had a slight liking for him, but his temper was always impatient. It was precisely because of this that she hadn’t agreed to be his girlfriend.

She was rational, aware of what she wanted, and wouldn’t make hasty decisions.

"Hei Province University of Technology?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiang chuckled. Everyone present could easily grasp what Chen Jiandong meant; how could he not know?

Faced with Chen Jiandong’s provocation, he naturally wouldn’t pretend nothing happened.

Moreover, at this moment, Zhang Xiang suddenly thought of a way to showcase himself.

He smiled and said, "A good university? I really looked forward to it back then. My company employs a few graduates from Jinling Jiangyuan University, and they’re learning from me."

As soon as he said this, it was clearly a counterattack.

So what if you’re from a good university? Now there are graduates from there learning under me? Clearly, that university isn’t worth much.

After he finished speaking, everyone inadvertently glanced at Qin Yun.

Earlier, Qin Yun had introduced himself as coming from Jiangyuan University, and now Zhang Xiang brought up Jiangyuan University as if he was belittling it.

Everyone was watching, yet Qin Yun’s face remained calm, without any expression.

Having experienced so much, he had no interest in meddling in the fight between these rivals in love.

"Graduates of Jiangyuan University are learning from you? Brother Zhang, what line of work are you in?"

Hearing Zhang Xiang’s words, the girl Zhao Xiaoyue asked out of curiosity.

Zhang Xiang seemed to be waiting for someone to ask, and he smiled and said, "I’m currently the team leader of the production team at Xinghu Film and Television Company. If any of you are interested in film editing, you can come to me."

"Xinghu Film and Television?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yun glanced at Zhang Xiang.

Previously, Zhao Tianqiang mentioned that Celestial Fortune’s promotional video sought Xinghu Film and Television, and unexpectedly, he met someone from that company here.

"I’ve heard of Xinghu Film and Television Company."

As the words fell, others in the booth chimed in, showing they were somewhat familiar with the company.

"By the way, the promotional video of our school was made by this company! Do you remember?"

Jiang Hanhan suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "This company is quite big."

Upon learning this information, they looked at Zhang Xiang, and their gazes showed more interest.

Being in his early twenties and already a team leader in a big company, his capabilities are certainly not simple.

At this moment, Lin Xiaoke also introduced, "Zhang Xiang is very talented and holds an important position at Xinghu Company, in a mid-to-high-level role."

Upon hearing this, everyone did a quick calculation in their minds; holding an important position at such a big company, his annual salary must be at least over two hundred thousand!

And upon hearing what Zhang Xiang said, Chen Jiandong’s face noticeably changed.

With just a few words, Zhang Xiang turned the situation around quickly; students from a good university amounted to nothing in his presence.

And Zhang Xiang clearly didn’t intend to let Chen Jiandong off the hook; if the opponent tried to use education to suppress him, how could he just laugh it off?

"This classmate, I feel you care a lot about your education, maybe even to a bragging extent. In my opinion, it’s not wise to place too much importance on education; ultimately, personal ability is what allows you to go further in society."

At this moment, Zhang Xiang inwardly sneered.

This still-in-school rookie tried to wield his education as leverage? Such a "rival in love" is too immature.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiandong immediately retorted, "So, Brother Zhang thinks education isn’t important?"

"Haha, I’m just saying it shouldn’t be overly emphasized. As I know, many big bosses don’t have degrees, and many college graduates end up working for bosses without degrees; this phenomenon is quite common." Zhang Xiang smiled as he spoke.

Upon hearing his words, everyone present was a bit displeased, even Qin Yun frowned slightly.

In fact, what Zhang Xiang was implying was the uselessness of education.

Nowadays, college graduates are everywhere, and don’t those who attend college still find it hard to get jobs after graduation? What does it matter if you’re a graduate student or Ph.D.? Aren’t you still working for someone else? Even working for those with lower education levels.

This phenomenon is widespread; as the saying goes, if a brick falls and hits ten people, nine of them are college students, and one is a graduate student.

However, everyone present was a college student, and his words inadvertently offended every single one of them.

Being students of prestigious universities, they all had a certain pride within them.

The girls also felt that Zhang Xiang was a bit arrogant. At this moment, Li Cheng stepped up and said, "Brother Zhang, I don’t agree with your viewpoint."

"Oh, do you have any suggestions?" Zhang Xiang asked with a calm smile, showing no indication that he realized his words were misjudged.

"I believe having a higher education is beneficial for future development."

Li Cheng, tall and skinny like a gentle scholar, but his words were powerful as he continued, "Undeniably, many things learned in school aren’t used in society. Entering society earlier to learn some practical skills might let you go further—even become a boss."

"However, no matter which major enterprise, they always prioritize hiring graduates from top universities. Companies like Tencent and Ali even compete for these high-degree holders."

He looked at Zhang Xiang and said firmly, "Let’s make a simple comparison: why does the company where you work hire students from good universities in crucial roles? Clearly, they value these credentials; otherwise, why not just hire those ordinary people?"

"Well said!"

"Yes, I know the ratio between non-educated and educated people succeeding is completely different; the former has a much lower success probability than the latter!"

"Almost ninety percent of the bosses in top companies have high education levels."

Upon these words, several girls nodded in agreement.

Zhang Xiang was too arrogant, and his previous statements had already displeased them. Li Cheng’s rebuttal resonated with what they wanted to express.

After Li Cheng spoke, Chen Jiandong also quickly followed up, "Zhang Xiang, your view is rather biased."
