“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.
Ben’s expression darkened after he heard what Jasper said.
A wise saying like that stood true in any given circumstance.
