Chapter 50: The opposite
Zhao Zijian didn't know that as soon as he left, the Xie family was already busy holding a family meeting, and even if he knew, he didn't plan to get involved in the Xie family's opening of a restaurant.
Although those two million actually occupy about eighty percent of his current assets, for a person with aura and a clear knowledge that in a few years, all the current social order in this world will be broken and reorganized, no matter how much money he has, he has no greed.
For him, since he decided to give the money to Xie Yuqing, how would she use it, whether she would use it to help her family pay off her debts, or open a restaurant, or buy all of them into bags, jewelry, clothes, and cosmetics, it was the same for Zhao Zijian - because he didn't care at all.
Leaving the small village and riding all the way back, when he returned to the downtown area, he slowed down and rode slowly, leisurely observing and enjoying the prosperity and splendor of Yunzhou City.
When he was at an intersection, he actually received a call from Lu Xiaoning, he connected the phone, and heard Lu Xiaoning ask him, "Zhao Zijian, what are you doing?"
"I'm waiting for your call!"
On the other end of the phone, Lu Xiaoning was blinded for a moment, not sure whether Zhao Zijian was serious or joking, so he asked, "Why are you waiting for my call? I didn't say I wanted to call you this afternoon, right?"
Zhao Zijian's tone was extremely calm, and he couldn't tell him that he was talking nonsense at all, "Yes! But just now an old man grabbed me, and he had to tell me his fortune, and said that I would become a legend in the future, I didn't believe it, so he said, within ten minutes, a girl surnamed Lu will call you, I thought, the girl I know surnamed Lu, isn't it you? So just wait for the phone to see if what he said is true! I didn't expect you to call!"
On the other end of the phone, Lu Xiaoning was stunned again.
Ghosts, gods, etc., the young people of their generation who grew up under the red flag probably don't believe in it very much, but girls, occasionally they will inevitably believe in fate or something, otherwise the constellation or something will not be so popular. And the point is that what Zhao Zijian said is too much like the truth.
After a few seconds, she seemed to have a heart-pounding feeling, and her voice was a little surprised, and there was something else that she couldn't say, and asked, "Is it really fake?"
Zhao Zijian said: "Of course it's fake! You believe it!"
The other end of the phone stopped for a moment, and Lu Xiaoning took a deep breath, "Zhao Zijian, why are you like this!"
Zhao Zijian asked, "Is there anything wrong with the call?"
Lu Xiaoning huffed and said, "It's okay." Then he hung up the phone.
Hung up the phone, she sat there breathless for a long time and couldn't come smoothly, originally, after lunch, suddenly somehow remembered him, kindly asked him what he was doing in the afternoon, if it was okay, everyone would go out together, go shopping or something, and then he was talking nonsense, which made people almost angry!
He seems to like to talk nonsense with himself, blind and poor, and very unserious! I just don't know if he is like this, so he does this to everyone, or only to himself.
The problem is, usually everyone makes a joke in front of you, listens to his nonsense, and thinks it's quite interesting, but sometimes, when you call a boy very nervously, and blame shyness, blame blushing and heartbeat, just as soon as the phone is connected, he said that he was waiting for his call, at that moment, his heart was really pounding, and he thought that he was a little bit of a heart or something, but he turned out to be good, pure nonsense, and he was shocked to play you, and all your good moods and all your little expectations were gone!
It's definitely infuriating!
Of course, Zhao Zijian didn't know this, he just felt that Lu Xiaoning was a little abnormal today, and his temper seemed to be slightly bigger than the previous two meetings, but when he thought of other people's family situations, he felt that this was also normal - people from generally better families, regardless of boys and girls, are indeed prone to hypocrisy, and their temper is a little bigger than that of children from poor families.
And the key thing is that in fact, he really doesn't want to have too much contact with Lu Xiaoning - an old guy like Zhao Zijian, who is only second-rate and third-rate in fame after a few decades, but in fact, his strength has long been in the world, of course, he will not feel that a mayor's family is unattainable, but the problem is that at least in the current social environment, the daughter of the mayor's family is indeed objectively superior.
As the mayor's daughter, Lu Xiaoning doesn't care how approachable and unscrupulous, no matter how well-educated and cultivated he is, a little noble temper is indeed inevitable.
As far as Zhao Zijian is concerned, back in 2016, he enjoys the peace and stability of this era very much, and does not regret the fame, family business and strength accumulated in his previous life for decades, and he is also very willing to make friends with everyone he looks down on equally, and is not willing to bully people with his own strength, or bully the world in advance or something, but after all, he still has his pride as a master!
He rejects getting too close to people who feel good about themselves.
Because he's a feel-good old guy himself.
And in his experience, dealing with a girl with a background and a character like Lu Xiaoning, if you want everyone to be happy, you have to hold her a little bit anyway.
So he simply did the opposite, in his mind, when the little girl's gratitude and admiration for him gradually faded, she would probably become estranged because of her nonsense and inconsistency.
…………
After crossing the intersection, Zhao Zijian turned his head by chance, and saw the signboard of Xinhua Bookstore at a glance.
After thinking about it, he decided to go over and have a look.
With the rise of online shopping, the decline of all physical bookstores, including Xinhua Bookstore, has become inevitable. However, Xinhua Bookstore is a bit special, even if it can't sell a few books, but its distribution network and physical stores across the country have always been running, and their strength in teaching and auxiliary is still quite strong.
It's just that in many places, every Saturday and Sunday, it inevitably becomes a free library.
In the two lives before and after, Zhao Zijian has a very heavy house attribute, even if it is not until twenty or thirty years later, hiding and reading a book for a day is still one of the better life enjoyments in his heart.
It happened that Zhao Zijian wanted to buy a few books recently, so he simply went over, locked the bicycle in front of the building, and went in to find the "miscellaneous" bookshelf according to the guidance of the zoning sign.
It's a pity that there aren't many books on medicine, and even fewer on Chinese medicine. On the only one floor of bookshelves, most of them are still some things that fool people's health, and most of them are still unsalable - because when he looked at the signs when he entered the door, Zhao Zijian had already noticed that in line with the trend of the times, this Xinhua bookstore has a special area for health books.
However, there is a book of "A Thousand Golden Fangs" that Zhao Zijian has memorized backwards in his previous life.
I took it off the shelf, flipped through it briefly, and decided to buy it back, in case the hole was punctured one day, I could prove that I had read a little bit of medical books.
And the printing and layout of this book is relatively empty, maybe you can add some annotations or something on it when you are free, well, it's called "Zhao Zijian's Commentary".
Thinking so, he simply pulled the bookshelf, and chose two other books about Chinese medicine and acupuncture, and took them together, and then left the "miscellaneous" section.
There are almost no people in the miscellaneous area, and there are only a few groups of parents with children in the teaching and auxiliary area, but on the second floor, in places like the modern fiction area, the floor is full of people sitting and reading books.
Zhao Zijian was too lazy to go over to enjoy the excitement, so he went to the humanities and social sciences, and there were a lot of people there.
So he decided to turn around and go back, but he passed by a shelf, and when he glanced inside, he happened to see a girl sitting on the ground reading a book in this deserted area.
Moreover, it is a bit familiar.
