Chapter 262: Chapter 262: The Top Scholar
"After taking the MBA and studying computer management for a year, he fell ill," Edward Stephens said flatly, "so he dropped out."
Edward glanced at her complexion, raised his hand to tap her forehead, "I’ve told you, it’s not what I wanted to study; it was all arranged by my family."
Daisy Ginger looked at him oddly, "Then what do you want to learn?" He’s already mastered so many skills; she suspected he might be proficient in eighteen languages, yet he says, "It’s not what I want to learn."
Imagine if he really studied what he wanted, how impressive would that be?
In comparison, it simply crushed her self-esteem.
Daisy felt she was quite an academic achiever since childhood, the "other people’s child" type, but she couldn’t manage to graduate from Harvard at twenty, earn an MBA, and study computer management.
Edward glanced at her lazily, leaned back on the sofa, and drawled, "I just want to eat and wait to die."
Daisy looked at him with speechless wonder.
No wonder that Eve got mad at her; nurturing such a genius to waste, she herself felt a bit wasteful...
Daisy sympathetically patted his head, "Then I won’t throw high heels at your head anymore." Such a smart brain, it’s a pity to hit it.
Edward grasped her hand and played with it, lazily squinting at her, Daisy sighed lightly, "Okay, I guess I’ll just have to shoulder the burden of supporting you, this lazybones."
Edward nodded, "I’m easy to maintain. I don’t eat much, and I can pick you up and drop you off at work. Isn’t that a good deal?"
Daisy watched him speak nonsense with a straight face, and burst into laughter, her bright eyes shining on her radiant face, lunged into his arms, and kissed him thoroughly.
She didn’t need him to be exceptionally successful, but knowing that he was a hundred times more outstanding than she imagined, she still felt proud.

When it came to business negotiations, Daisy encountered Eve at the negotiation table. At the time, she was dressed in professional attire, surrounded by people, entering the conference hall. Eve, as the head of the American tech company, came to greet her, and when she saw Daisy, her eyes almost popped out.
Daisy wasn’t the type to mix business and personal matters; she distinguished them well. The final negotiation was very amicable, and when she shook hands with Eve at the end, the stiff smile on Eve’s face gave her a bit of satisfaction.
Alright, seeing Eve like this, she admitted, she did feel a little triumphant.
As she was organizing materials to leave with Oliver Rubio, Eve called out to her.
"Miss Ginger."
Eve’s voice still carried its innate arrogance. Someone like her, able to enter Harvard, excelled in society. Arrogance and pride were inevitable.
However, compared to the last meeting, she was much more humble, no longer looking down her nose at Daisy.
Daisy turned around, smiling, "Hmm?"
"Last time we met, I failed to recognize your talent; I offended you in many ways," Eve spoke very politely, "I’m sorry, it’s wrong of me to judge by appearances, you are an excellent company manager."
Daisy smiled meaningfully, "After all, separating personal and professional matters is the quality of an adult; only a child would act immaturely."
"..." Eve lowered her head, silent for a moment, indeed, this Director Ginger does hold a grudge!
"What do you want?" Daisy asked.
"I wonder if Edward has any plans to return to Harvard?" Eve looked deeply at her, "His talent in programming and artificial intelligence could change the world. Both the professors and I felt it’s truly regrettable that he dropped out..."
