CHAPTER XIX

Good

Yan Kuang was already stunned for a while, his mind was blank, and he looked at the little girl's delicate fingers in such a dumbfounded manner, and he didn't know how long it took for him to finally come back to his senses - warning! This is a naked-naked warning!

She first rejected his offer to ask for the consent of her guardian, looking careless, as if she was too arrogant, and then immediately gave herself a warning quietly - to warn him that she was not an innocent girl who did not know the world, and that she could be broken casually, and she was not too arrogant.

This is not only not arrogance, but even a conceit - a kind of ...... Out of his own absolute strength and the conceit of being in control.

Yan Kuang has been in this industry for decades, and he has dealt with all kinds of people, but he has never seen such a girl. The elegant middle-aged man smiled, and the shock and sluggishness in his eyes finally completely faded and returned to his usual gentleness and elegance:

"You can rest assured, we open the door to do business, and the most important thing is, of course, integrity."

- He suddenly had a premonition that Lin Quange had not yet reached the peak. Maybe it won't be long before ...... He was able to stand at heights he hadn't imagined before.

Ling Xiao nodded, turned around and took out five characters from his backpack. Although Yan Kuang said that it didn't matter the size, Ling Xiao was still very kind, and she did need a sum of money, so she brought at least three feet or more, and the payment and seal on each one were readily available.

Yan Kuang stretched out his hand to take it, carefully opened it and looked at it one by one, then nodded with satisfaction, thought about it and asked her again: "According to our contract, I will start to promote you after you take the exam and win the award, and the remuneration will not be paid to you until that time." The cycle is a little longer, but you also know that it really can't be sold for money now. If you need it urgently, I can give you a little advance. ”

"So—how much can I advance?" Ling Xiao did not refuse.

"You brought five characters today," Yan Kuang thought for a while, "One can be regarded as a deposit of 2,000 for you, a total of 10,000." If you still don't have it, can I lend you a little more? ”

Ling Xiao now has a complete concept of prices. As far as she is concerned, Yan Kuang's offering of 10,000 is already very kind. After all, for him, it is equivalent to giving so much money for nothing, and the unknown benefits will not be known until at least a year later, not counting the investment he has to pay for publicity. As for private borrowers...... After all, they only have interests and don't know anything else, and Ling Xiao doesn't want to get involved too much. What's more, even if he borrows it, I'm afraid he will borrow another 10,000 at most - although Yan Kuang also looks like he has a rich family, but there are still rules and considerations for doing business in the end. Ye Lin is obviously worth a lot of money, Ling Xiao calculated that Ye Lin bought her a mobile phone, clothes, and even a new laptop a few days ago, and thought about the rent again......

"No need, just 10,000, that's enough." Ling Xiao didn't think about it for too long, he shook his head, thought about it and took out a bank card from his wallet - this was the second week after Ye Lin took her to the bank to get her ID card, "Just call this card, you remember the card number, and I will write a receipt as proof of your advance." ”

Anyway, it's not enough at the moment, and it's not much difference between 10,000 more and 10,000 less.

……

It was noon when he came out of Linquan Pavilion, and before Ling Xiao went out, he told Ye Lin that he would not go back until the evening, and he was not in a hurry to leave, so he looked for a place to eat unhurriedly, and waited for a while, and soon received a call.

Ling Xiao hung up the phone and walked back, and saw a little girl wearing a bright yellow dress and carrying a pink backpack at the corner of Guanchao Street. Shen Qing seemed to see her too, waved at her excitedly, and trotted to her with his bag on his back:

"Ling Xiao Lingxiao, have you waited for a long time?"

"No, I'm new here." Ling Xiao smiled carelessly and turned his head to look at her, "Let's go?" ”

Shen Qing answered, followed her and walked inside.

Shen Qing's grandfather's birthday next month, the little girl wanted to buy a gift for her grandfather, but she didn't expect something like that to happen last week. The gift was still not bought, Shen Qing didn't dare to come alone, and hesitated for a long time before finally calling Ling Xiao. The little girl was full of apprehension when she called, but Ling Xiao was unexpectedly easy to talk and agreed without hesitation. She happened to be coming to Linquan Pavilion today, so she simply made an appointment with Shen Qing today.

The closer he got to West Street, Ling Xiao could clearly feel that Shen Qing's steps were getting slower and stiffer, and it was obvious that he was still still apprehensive about what had happened last week. Ling Xiao didn't speak, he thought about it silently, and then reached out slightly and held Shen Qing's hand.

Shen Qing was slightly stunned, subconsciously turned his head to look at her, and saw that the girl beside him had a faint expression, as if she didn't take anything to heart, but inexplicably let her tense nerves relax at once. The little girl glanced at her secretly, hesitated and quietly squeezed her hand, and seeing that she still didn't have any special reaction, she didn't seem to mind, so she simply grabbed her arm a little "inch by inch", and then completely breathed a long sigh of relief.

Ling Xiao finally took Shen Qing to pick out a few ancient coins - ancient coins, "ancient" is "ancient", but the price has never been high. Although Shen Qing has a wealthy family, he is still only a high school student after all, and there is no need to look at those tens or millions of things, but hundreds, at most, thousands of ancient coins are just within the range of her pocket money, which is the most suitable.

By the time the two of them had successfully achieved their goal for the day, it was already dark. Ling Xiao looked at the time, and planned to take the little girl to eat together before going back, and asked her sideways if she had told her family that she would go home for dinner.

"It's okay for me, just call my parents later." Shen Qing shook his head and hesitated slightly for a while, but he still couldn't hold back and cautiously asked tentatively, "Ling Xiao, then don't you have to go back to accompany Brother Ye Lin?" He's going to eat alone again......"

When the little girl said this, she lowered her eyes slightly, and her expression looked a little tangled.

Ling Xiao didn't speak, just raised his eyebrows slightly and laughed lightly.

As soon as Shen Qing raised his head when he heard the laughter, he saw Ling Xiao looking at him with his eyebrows raised and a smile. The little girl blushed, shook her head almost helplessly, and explained in a low voice: "I, I don't know, it's just, it's that Brother Ye Lin is handsome and has a good person - don't think he seems to be not very close, in fact, he has a good temper and a soft heart." ”

"And he ...... at home" Shen Qing seemed to suddenly realize something when he said this, and quickly stopped talking, and only after a pause did he whisper, "It's not easy for him anyway." ”

Sound...... I'm afraid the situation of the Ye family is not simple. Ling Xiao was a little curious, but after all, he didn't like to spy on other people's private affairs, so he didn't ask at the moment, just smiled and nodded:

"He's very soft-hearted indeed, he's a very good guy."

If it weren't for his soft-heartedness, even if he was afraid of the threat of "poison", he would at most keep a secret for himself, not to mention that he was so thoughtful as he was now, and I am afraid that he would not even give himself a good face - the current situation was something that even Ling Xiao himself had never thought of.

Her tone was calm, as if she was just stating some facts, but it seemed to be faintly emotional. Shen Qing was stunned, and for a while he didn't know what the relationship between Ye Lin and Ling Xiao was, he opened his mouth but didn't ask anything, just pulled Ling Xiao to quickly change the topic, blinked her eyes and asked:

"Shall we go to dinner?"

"Okay." Ling Xiao nodded.

……

When the weather began to heat up, Ling Xiao signed up to take the calligraphy grade exam, and in September, he passed the gì without any suspense. Yan Kuang called to say goodbye, and by the way, he sorted out a list of materials on several calligraphy competitions that Ling Xiao was qualified to participate in in the next six months, and sent them to Ling Xiao.

After reading the information, Ling Xiao had a rough plan for the next step in his heart, and he didn't delay too long, and quickly went to find Ye Lin.

"I think I should be able to go to school now." Ling Xiao got straight to the point.

Ye Lin nodded: "I have already contacted the school, and I will confirm with them again - but I am afraid that you will have to go through the school examination before you enroll, after all, No. 1 Middle School is the best school and the requirements are stricter." If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter, then you can go to another ......."

"No need, I can get through guò." The little girl in the long black dress tilted her head slightly, her eyebrows and eyes raised slightly, and she was completely conceited and romantic.

Ye Lin was stunned for a moment, feeling a little amazed, but after thinking about it, he felt as if there was no accident at all, and even believed her words almost as a matter of course.

"Okay, I got it." The man didn't say anything more, just nodded in response, and just ...... I don't know why I feel a little faintly lost.

She was thoroughly accustomed to this era, and perhaps after this time, she would no longer need anyone's help.

All of them proceeded in an orderly manner, and there were no unexpected twists and turns—Ling Xiao almost "deservedly" passed the entrance exam. Unexpectedly, the scores of Physics and Chemistry are surprisingly high, probably because both of them are courses that have only started in junior high school and the content of the two subjects themselves is not too much; In addition, the scores in Chinese and mathematics are also quite good, but only English is a little worse than the passing line. But it's no wonder, after all, it's a completely different language that has never been exposed to before, and the accumulation of vocabulary alone is already a huge undertaking.

Although there are some partial subjects, the overall score is still quite good after all, and No. 1 Middle School has happily completed Ling Xiao's student registration procedures.

On Monday the following week, Ling Xiao was already standing on the podium of the second and fifth classes of the first high school with his schoolbag on his back, looking at his classmates with curiosity on his face, and smiled slightly:

"It's a pleasure to be a classmate with all of you. My name is Ling Xiao. ”

As she spoke, she turned around, picked up the chalk and wrote on the blackboard the two big characters "Ling Xiao" - the pen is strong and uninhibited. Then he turned his head again to look at the audience, raised his eyebrows slightly, and his voice was obviously not loud, but it sounded clearly in everyone's ears:

"'The big husband has the ambition of Ling Xiao to cover the world'."
