Chapter 1 Zhang Xu
Chengnan high-speed railway station in Dongzhou City, Tianhe Province.
It was just one o'clock in the afternoon, and it was the hottest time of the day. Most of the passengers who have just come out of the high-speed rail station with central air conditioning open are secretly scolding in the face of the oncoming heat, and their whole bodies are hot.
In the crowd, a young man with a delicate face of about 1.7 meters was carrying a black backpack, which was different from the hurry of other passengers, but walked out of the station very leisurely.
Passing through the crowd, the teenager took out his mobile phone and made a call.
"Mom, I'm in downtown Dongzhou. Don't worry, I'll study hard, you don't have to worry too much......" The young man chatted for a few minutes, and then hung up the phone after a few more instructions. The boy breathed a sigh of relief, even if he was so far away from home, he still had a natural fear of his mother.
The boy's name is Zhang Xu, and he was born in a middle-class family in Yangguan County, which is subordinate to Dongzhou City. His father, Zhang Feng, is a civil servant in the county planning bureau, and his mother, Li Xiuyun, runs a small hotel.
Zhang Xu has excellent grades since he was a child, and he is one of the best in his class, but in high school, his grades are in the middle. Now in the third year of high school, after thinking about it, her mother Li Xiuyun transferred Zhang Xu to Shengzhe Middle School, which ranks first in the city, hoping that Zhang Xu can improve his grades and finally be admitted to an ideal university.
In fact, Zhang Xu also has unspeakable reasons for the regression of his grades. He can't tell his mother that he delayed his studies because of his cultivation of the Immortal Fa, right?
When Zhang Xu was ten years old, he unexpectedly obtained a medical inheritance from the Xiuzhen civilization. At first, Zhang Xu was young and ignorant, but in order to pursue fun and excitement, he also practiced the exercises in his mind.
At first, it was just some simple exercises such as aerobics. However, after Zhang Xu insisted on studying for a few years, he gained strength and speed that were difficult for his peers to match, and his brain power also increased greatly, so Zhang Xu was able to be at the top of his class.
However, in high school, the inheritance of medical Taoism finally laid the foundation for Zhang Xu, and began to teach Zhang Xu the real cultivation method "Wunian Medical Classic". Zhang Xu spent most of his time on this, so his grades fell behind. However, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and under Zhang Xu's two years of hard work, he had successfully cultivated to the first level.
"Cousin Zhang Xu?"
An extremely cold voice suddenly came from behind him, Zhang Xu looked back and saw a young man about the same age as him, about 1.8 meters tall, wearing brand-name sportswear, and the latest clover running shoes under his feet. But his expression was a little impatient and proud.
It was none other than Li Qiang, the son of Zhang Xu's uncle Li Longhai.
"Cousin Li Qiang, I haven't seen you for a long time. Did my uncle ask you to pick me up?" Zhang Xu was very happy, he was also coming to the city for the first time, and it was not easy to find his uncle's home. Now that my cousin has come to pick it up, it's naturally great.
But Li Qiang's tone was a little stiff, "Come with me, Uncle Wang is waiting." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Zhang Xu saw that Li Qiang seemed to have a somewhat unwelcoming attitude, and he didn't have the heart to talk, so he followed in a hurry.
After a few minutes of walking, the two reached the side of the street.
A sleek black Audi A8 was parked on the side of the road, and it was naturally outstanding in the surrounding Santana Hyundai.
"Get in the car!" Li Qiang walked over and opened the front door, and sat down himself, "Cousin, you sit in the back." ”
Zhang Xu smiled slightly, didn't say anything, and opened the back door and sat down. As soon as he sat down, the middle-aged man driving the car said enthusiastically: "It's Xiao Xu, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you're so old." ”
Zhang Xu knew this middle-aged man, his uncle Li Longhai's driver Wang Gang, his uncle had just moved to the city for a few years, and he would always drive back to Yangguan County during the Chinese New Year to visit Zhang Xu's family, so Zhang Xu also met Wang Gang. However, after my uncle gained a foothold in the city, he never came back during the Chinese New Year.
"Uncle Wang is good. Zhang Xu greeted him very politely.
Wang Gang also wanted to chat with Zhang Xu for a few words, but Li Qiang, who was sitting in the co-pilot, frowned and said, "Uncle Wang, let's talk about it when you go back, anyway, he has nowhere to go." ”
Hearing this, Wang Gang smiled with Zhang Xu very apologetically, and started the car. Zhang Xu didn't care, smiled and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Li Qiang looked at Zhang Xu again in the rearview mirror, and with his knowledge of domestic brands, he could see at a glance that the price of Zhang Xu's clothes would definitely not exceed five hundred yuan. The shoes on the feet are also extremely cheap domestic miscellaneous brands.
A trace of disdain flashed in Li Qiang's eyes, but then he became a little angry. Originally, today he was going to see the big scene with the rich disciples who had fun with him. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by his father just about to go out and asked him to pick up Zhang Xu. Therefore, he didn't treat Zhang Xu very coldly. Seeing Zhang Xu dressed like an ordinary student in the school again, he was naturally even more depressed.
……
After more than ten minutes of driving, the black Audi drove to the famous rich community in Dongzhou City-Shuimu Nianhua Community. Housing prices here are more than twice as high as the most expensive shops in the city centre, and the families who can live here are all rich or expensive. Li Qiang's family is not bad, the location of the residence is not too good, it can be in the middle of the community. Even if it's only in the middle of the stream, each house will cost more than 5 million.
As soon as the car stopped, Li Qiang couldn't wait to get out of the car and walked towards home. Wang Gang hurriedly got out of the car and walked inside with Zhang Xu.
Although the decoration of my uncle's house is not luxurious, it is very tasteful. Exquisite lacquer ornaments, expensive but inconspicuous tables and chairs, and several fine oil paintings hanging on the walls. All show the taste of aunt Tang Qing.
As soon as Zhang Xu entered the hall, he saw a middle-aged man with shiny hair and a fat figure who was angrily asking Li Qiang to sit on the sofa.
And Li Qiang sat on the sofa with a sullen mouth.
The middle-aged man turned his head and saw Zhang Xu's eyes lit up, haha smiled and stretched out his hand to take Zhang Xu's hand and sit next to him, "Xiao Xu, I haven't seen you for a few years, I am much taller and more handsome." ”
Zhang Xu was a little restrained, and said with a smile: "Uncle is too polite. ”
The middle-aged man is Zhang Xu's uncle Li Longhai, who now has three four-star hotels in Dongzhou City, and I heard that there is currently a five-star hotel under construction. After many years of operation, he now has a wide range of contacts in Dongzhou City, and he can eat both black and white.
Li Longhai took Zhang Xu's hand and asked Zhang Xu about the current situation at home very kindly, and Zhang Xu answered truthfully. After talking for a while, he talked about Zhang Xu's mother, Li Xiuyun.
"I persuaded your mother several times to ask her to come to Dongzhou City to help me. Wouldn't it be much better to help me manage a four-star hotel than if she was guarding a small shop in Yangguan County?" Li Longhai said with some complaints.
Zhang Xu didn't plan to talk, but Li Qiang suddenly jumped up and hurriedly said, "Dad, you called your aunt over, what about my little uncles?"
Li Longhai's face changed when he heard this, and he scolded loudly: "I can call whoever I want in my hotel!"
"I'll tell my mom to go!" Li Qiang snorted and stood up and went upstairs.
Li Longhai ignored these, but still chatted with Zhang Xu, "I remember Xiao Xu, you have been studying well, and you must be in the top few in the class now, right?"
Zhang Xu said very honestly: "There are about thirty people in the class. ”
"Isn't that similar to my son?" Li Longhai was a little disappointed, originally thought that Zhang Xu had good grades and hoped that Zhang Xu could help Li Qiang study, but now that he heard it, this plan was also in vain.
After Li Longhai tried a few more words against Zhang Xu, he didn't have the heart to talk to Zhang Xu again, so he stood up and said, "When I first came here, I will stay at my uncle's house for a few days, and then move over there when I have someone finish it." ”
Mother Li Xiuyun rented a house for Zhang Xu in Shengzhe Middle School, and the accommodation conditions were average. She hopes that Zhang Xu will spend his mind on studying, so it can be regarded as a test. However, at that time, Li Longhai wanted to use Zhang Xu to make his son Li Qiang progress, so he disagreed with Li Xiuyun's decision very much, and took it upon himself to decorate Zhang Xu and add some furniture.
No matter what Li Longhai thinks now, Zhang Xu still lives in Li Longhai's house.
