Chapter 18: Little Sister's Roommate
When he first arrived in the provincial capital, he negotiated a business worth millions, and Xu Haibao still felt quite happy. In addition, this unexpected acquaintance with Qin Mingyuan and Sun Wenhao was somewhat unexpected. It's not easy for these two people to see each other.
One is a well-known expert in archaeology, and the other is a well-known entrepreneur with a small reputation. In normal times, an ordinary veteran like Xu Haibao is estimated to only be a passerby in the eyes of the two.
After ending the transaction, Tie Zhongyi also politely invited Xu Haibao to have a light meal together. But Xu Haibao still refused politely: "Iron shopkeeper, I'm very sorry, I already have an appointment at noon." If you don't show up, the consequences will be serious!"
"Oh! Going on a date with a girlfriend?"
"Not long after I was discharged from the army, I came to find a girlfriend! It's my little sister, and I promised to invite her to dinner with her roommate at noon. That girl has the highest status in my family, and the consequences of releasing her pigeons are very serious!"
After explaining with a smile, Tie Zhongyi was not too reluctant. After thinking about it, he said, "That's okay, since you have an appointment, then I won't force it." By the way, you should know about Koyanagi's work assignment, right?"
"Before coming to the provincial capital, I called the old company commander. I heard that it was assigned to the Maritime Safety Bureau, and the specific sub-bureau is not clear. Speaking of which, it is indeed a pity that the old company commander changed jobs this time. ”
Thinking of the old company commander Liu Chenglin, who enlisted in the army and gave him a lot of care, Xu Haibao is still grateful. But no one thought that the old company commander, who was originally in his prime, would choose to change jobs and return to the local area.
In the face of Xu Haibao's pity, Tie Zhongyi also nodded and said, "Yes! Originally, with his conditions, if you wait another year or two, it is estimated that you can be promoted to major." However, he can't help it, the whole family is counting on him to feed him!
Earlier, his wife helped take care of his family. Some time ago, his wife also had some physical problems and couldn't do any physical work at all. In this case, he can only give up a few things. ”
Hearing that Tie Zhongyi had a better understanding of Liu Chenglin's situation, Xu Haibao thought for a while and said, "Brother Tie, I should stay in the provincial capital for two days this time." When the time comes, if you have time, let's get together in private!
Although he transferred back to the local government, his rank was raised by one level. But Brother Tie also knows that if a demobilized officer like him doesn't matter, it will be somewhat difficult to be assigned a good job and unit.
On my side, although it doesn't matter, the old company commander took a lot of care of me earlier. If there's anything I can do to help, I'll do my best to help. As for the situation at his house, I really didn't know about it earlier!"
"That kid doesn't want to talk to outsiders about his family! I'll call him in the evening and ask. If you have time, come out and get together. ”
After agreeing to have a free time to gather in the evening, Xu Haibao did not stay in the store for long. After leaving his contact information for the three of them, and also getting the contact numbers of the three people, Xu Haibao quickly drove to Jiangnan University.
As for the one million in the transaction, it has been credited to Xu Haibao's personal bank account. This also means that Xu Haibao at this moment is also a new millionaire. But such a millionaire is really nothing unusual in Jiangnan.
After all, the net worth of the three people in the store before is estimated to be much more than that of Xu Haibao now. But Xu Haibao's previous humility and arrogance still left a good impression on the three of them, and they felt that they could deal with each other.
Of course, if you want to really establish a deep friendship with the three of you, it depends on the contact and interaction in the future. How could Xu Haibao not know the truth of being born once and being familiar twice? Dealing with these people, being too enthusiastic will make people feel disgusted.
Driving a borrowed Wrangler, Xu Haibao soon appeared at the gate of Jiangnan University. For the most well-known university in Jiangnan in front of him, Xu Haibao is somewhat envious. After all, once upon a time, he also longed for college life!
Knowing that he couldn't drive the car into the campus, Xu Haibao sent a phone call to his little sister Xu Qingya, telling him to wait for her at the school gate. It didn't take long for Xu Haibao to receive a brief reply from his little sister.
"Wait, I'll be there soon!"
It is not difficult to see from this text message that her little sister should have been waiting for her phone and text messages. It's just that Xu Haibao didn't tell his sister the specific time to arrive in the provincial capital, but only told her that she would definitely rush to her school gate before lunch.
If she had informed herself in advance, Xu Qingya would definitely go to Cultural Relics Street with her. But for Xu Haibao, about the sale of ancient coins, he doesn't want his family to know about it for the time being. As for the shipwreck treasure, it can't be said for the time being!
In Xu Haibao's opinion, even if he needs to reveal something to his family in the future, he also hopes to give his family a time to adapt. Regarding rebirth, Xu Haibao will not tell anyone, not even his family.
The reason is simple, there are some things that you know too much about, but it is not necessarily a good thing!
Maybe it's because the college is about to go on vacation, and the management of students is not as strict as before. It didn't take long for Xu Haibao, who was sitting in the car, to see his little sister and a few girls appear at the school gate.
Looking at the little sister looking around, Xu Haibao quickly got out of the car and beckoned, "Xiaoya, here!"
"Brother, you're really here, I thought you were fooling me again?"
Looking at Xu Qingya, who was happy, Xu Haibao pretended to be sad and said: "Xiaoya, brother is in your heart, is it so untrustworthy? I'm so sad, I want to go home!"
"Hmph, for the sake of you coming to pick me up and going home, I'll introduce you to a few beautiful women!"
Ignoring Xu Haibao's pretended sad expression, Xu Qingya also smiled and introduced a few roommates to her eldest brother. may really be like a gathering of things, Xu Qingya's roommates are also very young and beautiful.
One of the girls, Li Xinyan, who was born in Sichuan Mansion, said quite boldly: "Brother Xu, hello! I have heard your name for a long time, and I can finally see your true face today." Xiaoya has always admired you, the eldest brother!"
"Well, how about it? Ladies and gentlemen, do you feel a little disappointed?"
"We've only seen you in military uniforms, and now you're suddenly changing into civilian clothes, it's a little unaccustomed!"
"This girl, even showed you a photo of me as a soldier?"
"Yes! Speaking of which, we've heard Xiaoya talk about you. It's really hard to imagine that you can persist for five years and write at least one letter to Xiaoya every month. In these days, boys who can write letters are really rare!"
With the popularization of mobile phones and the Internet, the way modern people communicate has also undergone great changes. As Xu Qingya's roommates, they all know that the two brothers and sisters maintain the rule of at least one letter every month.
Even such a rule, the brother and sister adhered to it for five years. From Xu Qingya's first year of high school to Xu Haibao's retirement from the army, it has never been interrupted. It's really rare to see brothers and sisters with such deep feelings.
Regarding the feelings of the women, Xu Haibao said with a smile: "The army is different from the locality, my unit, soldiers are not allowed to use mobile phones to follow the Internet, and writing letters is a relatively common way of communication."
The monthly correspondence was also requested by this girl. Later, I got used to it, but it was actually fine. Compared with mobile phone text messages and Internet chats, I deleted them after reading them. If you can save the letters, you can read them whenever you want.
Speaking of which, in the five years I have been in the army, I have always kept the letters that this girl wrote to me. With these letters, five years seemed to pass quickly. Before I knew it, this girl had become a big girl. ”
"Brother, what are you talking about?"
Looking at Xu Qingya, who was a little embarrassed and coquettish, the roommates standing beside her were a little envious. After all, having an older brother who dotes on him like this is indeed a very enviable thing.
For their generation, some girls have been only children since childhood. Many girls grow up hoping that in addition to their parents, they can have a protector by their side. And Xu Haibao is undoubtedly a protector for Xu Qingya.
Regarding the two siblings, the four girls who came out with them have also heard a lot of past stories about the brothers and sisters. Even sometimes roommates will joke that Xu Qingya is a 'brother control'.
After all, the relationship between the brother and sister who have been writing letters for five years without interruption will definitely feel very romantic if it is replaced by a couple. But if you change it to a brother and sister, you feel a little disobedient.
Even if it was the first time to meet Xu Haibao, Xu Qingya's four roommates could see that this masculine and elegant man really did not hide his love for Xu Qingya.
It's just for many boys who saw this scene and recognized Xu Qingya and his party. Looking at Xu Qingya, who was not taboo at all, standing beside Xu Haibao, many boys felt heartbroken.
In their opinion, the cold school flower of this financial management system seems to have a master. What makes them envious and jealous the most is that Xu Haibao seems to be talking and laughing with several roommates around Xu Qingya, which is really enviable!
