“I didn’t graduate from a globally prestigious university. I’m from an ordinary domestic second-rank
university.”
Jasper did not shy away from the question regarding his academic qualifications.
He did not think that it was something to be embarrassed about.
One’s academic qualifications could only reflect one’s learning abilities when they were young. It could
not determine one’s final achievements.
This was one of the criteria set by Jasper in the recruitment processes of all of the companies under
him. His companies were not allowed to use academic qualifications as a mandatory requirement for
recruitment.
Ben and the woman beside him instantly burst out into laughter after Jasper spoke.
“You were right about people nowadays, Ben. The less capable they are, the more they like to boast
about themselves.”
The girl beside Ben remarked.
She looked at Jasper with a gaze full of disgust. It was as if Jasper exuded a terrible stench that would
infect her if she so much as gave him a glance.
Ben chuckled and replied, “That’s why I told you that you have to be more careful when you go out next
time. Some people are capable of doing anything just to get on the side of the rich and powerful. They
love to brag in front of others and act all high and mighty despite being completely incapable.
“Take me for instance. Although I graduated from Evergreen University through a full undergraduate
course, I have never dared to say that the knowledge we obtain from university isn’t important. Only
some people that have never experienced studying in a top university would be shameless enough to
say that the syllabus taught in universities is useless.”
Ben grinned at Jasper while speaking. “I’m not talking about you, so don’t take it personally,” he said,
feigning a look of compassion.
Unlike his words, there was a satisfied and mocking gaze in his eyes. He did not even bother to hide it.
“I value a person’s abilities and achievements after entering society more than a graduation certificate.
Be it Swallow Capital University or Evergreen University, the school mottos of both these top
universities are centered on the value of virtue over fame and fortune.”
Jasper’s tone did not waver in the slightest in the fac of their overt mockery and taunts.
Ben’s expression darkened after he heard what Jasper said.
He had never expected Jasper to counter him using the words from the mottos of his two institutions.
Nevertheless, there was no way for him to refute Jasper.
The school motto of Evergreen University: Be virtuous and strive for self-improvement.
Did it not mean that one’s moral character was the most important thing?
A wise saying like that stood true in any given circumstance.
“You certainly have a way with words,” Ben said stonily with a smirk plastered on his face. His smile did
not reach his eyes.
Ben’s cousin, Lisa Gardner, frowned. “You’re simply distorting the facts to justify yourself. I’ve seen a lot
of people like you. People like you just want to gain attention by talking about morals and principles,
when in fact, you’re just a dimwit,” she said impolitely.
“Even if I’m a dimwit, that has nothing to do with the both of you, right?” Jasper asked.
Feeling suffocated, Lisa choked on her words.
Wendy almost burst out into laughter at the sight of the unpleasant expressions on both of their faces.
Jasper had never been at a disadvantage when facing rude people like these.
“Jasp, let’s go. We have nothing more to say to them,” Wendy told Jasper.
Jasper nodded. He glanced at the two of them before attempting to leave with Wendy.
