Xia Yuqing's question did not surprise An Wuyang.
What was so strange about a girl knowing car logos these days?
An Wuyang answered firmly, "Yes. You know this brand?"
"Mm." Xia Yuqing acknowledged him first, then paused for a moment before continuing, "My older cousin brought her boyfriend home for New Year's last year. The car he drove was a BMW."
"Is there a story?" An Wuyang asked with interest.
"My older cousin's boyfriend was too flashy. He was always showing off his BMW, which was really off-putting." Xia Yuqing did not hide the truth.
"You've made me curious. Which BMW model did your older cousin's boyfriend drive?" An Wuyang asked curiously.
Xia Yuqing answered with a shake of her head, "I don't know."
"Was it a sedan or an SUV?" An Wuyang asked.
"A sedan," Xia Yuqing replied.
"Did it have a number on the rear? Something like 320 or 330, or 525 or 735?" An Wuyang asked again.
Xia Yuqing thought for a moment before replying, "It seemed to be a 118? Anyway, the whole car looked small, and its appearance wasn't very nice. It wasn't as good-looking as yours."
???
118?
So the car he had been showing off was actually the lowest-end 1 Series BMW?
Could that even be something to show off?
An Wuyang found it a little hard to understand!
"Your older cousin's taste is really good!" An Wuyang could only praise her.
Xia Yuqing rolled her eyes at An Wuyang. "I know you're being sarcastic."
"Then you're pretty clever." An Wuyang praised her again.
"You're being sarcastic again!" Xia Yuqing huffed.
Xia Yuqing proactively changed the subject. "Have you decided on your major and school?"
An Wuyang answered firmly while driving, "I've already decided. My major is still Marketing, as I told you before. As for the school, I ultimately chose East Salford College, a private university in Tianfu, Rongcheng."
"." This time, it was Xia Yuqing's turn to fall silent.
That was because An Wuyang's choice of 'East Salford College' sounded just like some random diploma mill.
All right!
It didn't merely sound that way!
In fact, it really was a private diploma mill. It had been established less than twenty years ago, and at first it had only been a technical vocational school. It was later upgraded to a 'college,' becoming Sichuan Province's first private undergraduate college.
Even so, that still could not change its nature as a diploma mill.
East Salford College was essentially a vocational school specializing in computer software. Its best majors were in the computer field, including Computer Science and Technology, Software Engineering, Internet of Things Engineering, and Data Science and Big Data Technology.
As for majors like Marketing, E-Commerce, and Health Services and Management, they were purely majors meant to deceive people. The school only cared about tricking students into enrolling and paying tuition. As for how those students would find employment after graduation, what did that have to do with the school?
If anyone asked again, the answer was that students simply had different personal abilities!
"Why did you choose this university?" Xia Yuqing asked tactfully.
"Probably because I didn't want to choose Shuimu University or Imperial Capital University." An Wuyang answered without any connection to her question.
Why had An Wuyang chosen East Salford College?
Of course, it was because his College Entrance Examination results were poor!
With a total score of 437 and a ranking somewhere above eighty thousand, what good school could he choose?
Actually, An Wuyang could have chosen Xichuan College of Culture and Arts, which also offered a slack-off major like Marketing among its arts and culture programs.
More importantly, an arts college would certainly have plenty of older and younger female students. The problem was that the school was not in Tianfu, but in Mianyun City.
So An Wuyang ruled it out.
There was another choice that suited An Wuyang especially well: Tianfu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
An Wuyang's family's Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group had a traditional Chinese medicine business, and An Huchun had conducted a certain amount of research in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. Besides, the university offered a Marketing major.
The only problem was that An Wuyang's score was not high enough.
According to the admission records of Tianfu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine over the years, applicants needed to rank within the top sixty thousand to have a chance of being admitted.
An Wuyang was behind by more than twenty thousand places!
Therefore, after considering the admission score rankings, the school's location, and the major, he could ultimately only choose a diploma mill.
Faced with An Wuyang's nonsensical answer, Xia Yuqing gathered her courage and said, "Don't worry. I'll have your back from now on!"
An Wuyang smiled faintly. Xia Yuqing was pretty optimistic, wasn't she?
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Xia," An Wuyang replied, going along with her.
"Mm!" Xia Yuqing nodded seriously.
Near half past twelve at noon, the two arrived at Zhulin Pier Steamed Fish Restaurant.
An Wuyang parked the car directly in a temporary roadside parking space. Many cars were parked in the temporary spaces along the road, and they had clearly all come to eat.
An Wuyang then followed Xia Yuqing toward Zhulin Pier Steamed Fish Restaurant. The restaurant looked as though it had accumulated a great deal of history.
"This restaurant has been open for many years?" An Wuyang asked casually.
Xia Yuqing answered firmly, "I ate here when I was little. Back then..."
Xia Yuqing suddenly stopped.
"I heard this restaurant has been open for more than thirty years." Xia Yuqing awkwardly changed the subject.
An Wuyang did not press Xia Yuqing about her childhood, either. This was not a good time to ask. Besides, if Xia Yuqing wanted to talk about it, she naturally would. If she did not want to, then asking her anyway would only put her in a difficult position.
The two entered Zhulin Pier Steamed Fish Restaurant, and Xia Yuqing guided An Wuyang upstairs with practiced familiarity. She took the initiative to scan the QR code with her phone and order.
"An, take a look and see what you want to eat." Xia Yuqing handed her phone to An Wuyang.
An Wuyang took it and looked through the menu before asking, "Do you have any recommendations?"
"I recommend the Black Bean Steamed Fish and the Roasted Pepper Steamed Fish. If they have mandarin fish today, you could also get some Steamed Mandarin Fish," Xia Yuqing recommended.
An Wuyang browsed the menu on Xia Yuqing's phone and chose Steamed Black Bean Catfish, Roasted Pepper Steamed Perch, and Steamed Mandarin Fish.
While ordering, An Wuyang discovered another special feature of the restaurant: customers could choose the portion size. The smallest portion was 200 grams, and they could even choose which part of the fish they wanted.
However, choosing a specific part of the fish required an additional service fee.
For the Steamed Black Bean Catfish, An Wuyang chose 300 grams and selected the rear half of the fish, avoiding the chest and abdomen. That was because the meat in the rear half was more tender and had less of a fishy taste.
The price for that choice was twenty yuan per 100 grams, so 300 grams cost only sixty yuan. In An Wuyang's eyes, that was indeed very cheap.
He made the same choice for the Roasted Pepper Steamed Perch, though it was slightly more expensive at twenty-five yuan per 100 grams.
The most expensive was the Steamed Mandarin Fish, which was only sold whole. It cost 120 yuan per 500 grams.
After placing the order, An Wuyang returned the phone to Xia Yuqing. "Xia, take a look and see if you want to add anything else."
