Chapter 17: The Contest Begins
"Does my brother know?" Lu Jing asked in a deep voice, the time has finally come, and the time is two days earlier than in the previous life.
"Well, I've already reported to Director Lu."
Lu Jing chatted with Liu Bing for a few words, ended the call with him, and dialed a landline number on the eldest brother's side. The phone was answered by a little girl, and after a while, the eldest brother's voice came out of it, "Xiaojing, it's me." Take the number from Liu Bing. ”
"Well, brother, they did it. Their ultimate goal is to undermine the subsistence allowance system you have implemented in Stonebridge. ”
"Hehe" the eldest brother laughed on the phone, "Xiaojing, you have to calm down, don't jump to conclusions about this matter." I'll keep an eye on it. ”
The eldest brother's calm attitude and gentle tone made the gloom in Lu Jing's heart slowly disappear, and his body and mind relaxed. Although I don't know how to play the political card of the eldest brother, I believe that there is absolutely no problem in dealing with this crisis.
"Study hard in school, you are going to take the midterm exam, don't take the penultimate place this time! Otherwise, I would have felt uncomfortable sitting in a parent-teacher conference. The eldest brother instructed in a relaxed tone on the phone.
Lu Jing scratched his head, how could he treat him as a child, where did he have the heart to study now, "Brother, wait for you to come back and talk, I have some thoughts of my own." ”
"Well, tomorrow night, tomorrow night will have time, right?"
Lu Jing said in surprise: "Tomorrow, brother, will you come back tomorrow?" ”
"Well, after the matter is settled, I naturally want to go back." There was a voice on the phone, and I heard the eldest brother say, "Okay, let's do this first, and then we will talk when we go back." ”
"Good!" Lu Jing hung up the phone and thoughtfully walked to a small shop selling fried rice next door.
The eldest brother was able to return to the capital early, undoubtedly to show some people his control over Shiqiao Town, and it was a subtle warning not to make trouble in the pilot town. But Liu Weijia, who has been planning for a long time, will definitely not give up willingly.
Since the eldest brother dared to come back early, it proved that he was confident in the arrangement of staying in Shiqiao Town. In this way, the probability of surviving this turmoil is 80%, and the only fly in the ointment is where the 2 million go.
Lu Jing didn't want to dwell on this matter at this time, after all, there were some things that he couldn't control, and he had already done his best to guess and find it. Imperfections are not something that can be eliminated if you want to. If the eldest brother is used to talk about things when he is improving in the future, he can only think of other ways to deal with it.
Now, in addition to overcoming the financial hurdles, he must first convince the eldest brother and the old man to agree to him in business before he can carry out his business ambitions.
Under normal circumstances, a family like him will have a general arrangement for his life path. It's not that you can't do business without the support of your family, and it's not that you have to follow your family's arrangements to go on the road ahead, but if you can get the support or understanding of your family, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. At least every time you go home, you don't have to be educated by the seven aunts and eight aunts!
"Hey-, Lu Jing, wait a minute!" A girl's voice came from behind him, Lu Jing looked back and saw Lin Rong in a school uniform walking quickly past a few boys who were talking and laughing slowly. She was a little chubby, and her wide turquoise uniform was even more bloated.
"I just came to your class to look for you and didn't find you, someone saw you coming outside the school." Lin Rong's round face was a little sweaty, which was exactly the expression after walking quickly.
Lu Jing stopped under a plane tree and looked at her lightly, he didn't have any friendship with Lin Rong, and he didn't know what was going on with her.
"Next weekend, our student union will hold a sorority dance party with Yinghua International students at the Blue Brocade Hotel, and you are invited to participate."
Lu Jing nodded, "I know, it depends on the situation!" He has been to this sorority dance party a few times with Wang Can, and it is not interesting, a bunch of little children learn to engage in social activities with adults. Does dancing and drinking red wine show that you are a popular character? In his memory, he ran to see Li Feifei, but he didn't see Li Feifei at all. According to Lu Jing's current speculation, it should be Li Feifei who knew that he was coming and left.
Lin Rong could see that Lu Jing was a little perfunctory, and smiled, "Okay, if you are interested in participating, you can come to me when the time comes." ”
"Okay, we'll talk about it then." Lu Jing said hello to Lin Rong, turned around and walked towards the overcrowded fried rice shop.
Lin Rong looked at Lu Jing's back, looking a little dissatisfied. If it weren't for Dong Bingti, Li Wendao, the president of the student union, agreed, and she wouldn't have come over to invite Lu Jing with her bad impression of Lu Jing. I had also seen Lu Jing at the reception with Yinghua International in No. 4 Middle School before, but he was not outstanding at all, and several of them speculated that he had mixed in with a friend who was studying at Yinghua International.
Thinking of the recent rumors that Lu Jing and his English teacher Fang Qin had an affair in the fourth middle school, Lin Rong shook her head and smiled, turned around and walked back to the fourth middle school, greeting acquaintances from time to time along the way.
If Lu Jing really has a deep background as Dong Bing said, then Zhu Mao Tan in the third (second) class of high school should be careful. Where there are people, there are circles. Although Zhu Mao Tan is qualified to participate in the sorority ball, with his ability and family background, he is not in the top circle of the four at all. He didn't know about it.
Lin Rong put her hands in her pockets and walked from the silent path to the cafeteria. Recently, Zhu Mao Tan concocted two rumors. The first is that Guan Ning in the third (fourth) class of high school is a young lady in Yongji Nightclub, and the second is that Lu Jing in the second (seventh) class of high school has a personal affair with English teacher Fang Qin.
These two rumors have noses and eyes, and I heard that some people have also seen photos. But she didn't believe it.
Walking all the way to the second floor of the cafeteria, a tall and beautiful girl wearing a coupling green coat, cyan trousers, and a bun beckoned: "Here, Lin Rong!" Hurry up, I'll be waiting for you. ”
"Wan Ting!" Lin Rong laughed happily, and the unpleasantness that Lu Jing brought her was forgotten.
…
Lu Jing had lunch and walked to the school with a tall, thin boy. The tall boy was wearing a white T-shirt, coffee-colored slacks, and a pair of Adidas casual shoes under his feet, and said as he walked: "Lu Jing, you must come, I heard that Dong Xiaohua will come to the scene to cheer." It's up to you whether we can win class 10 or not. You're going to make me show my face in front of her once. When the time comes, I'll dedicate the goal to her. ”
Lu Jing smiled, Zhang Tao said that the football round-robin match in the school was suspended for a week due to the midterm exam, and the war will be rekindled in the middle of next week. Lu Jing's football skills are not necessarily very good, but he has good body, good body, speed, and strength, and is the best choice for the defensive midfielder in the class.
"Besides, I'll definitely go if it's okay."
Zhang Tao smiled: "That's not good, you have to give me a word today." As he spoke, he arrived at the fork in Maple Leaf Avenue, and Lu Jing didn't plan to go to class again in the afternoon, so he waved his hand, "Let's see!" See you later! ”
"You guy." As a member of the sports committee and the core of the team organization, Zhang Tao, the captain of the team, muttered, and began to wonder in his heart who could play this position if Lu Jing didn't come. Come to think of it, it seems that no one is more suitable than him.
Lu Jing kicked off his sneakers, the room was very quiet, the light was refracted from the wall outside the living room window, it was not strong, and it seemed to have the coolness of a green creeper. He collapsed on the couch, ready for a nap, he hadn't had a good rest in the past few days. Now that the official contest has begun, he has a feeling of complete relaxation. Of course, the eldest brother's calm and light-hearted attitude gave him a lot of confidence.
"Knock", "Knock", "Knock"
Someone is knocking on the door of the room.
