Zhong Yubai's expression was very light, his posture and expression were slightly relaxed, even if he attended these seemingly important meetings, he did not show the planning and guidance of the leadership posture, but just leisurely watched the exhibition.

He came from this orderly and rigorous team, and he could also break away from it, swing to the corners, and see a familiar face, so come and say hello.

His gaze slowly went up, looked at the painting in front of him, and said, "Your masterpiece." ”

Ji Zhentang was slightly stunned, looked sideways, and was surprised by his affirmative tone: "How do you know?!" ”

Zhong Yubai raised his hand and used the corner of the business card to slowly smooth out the lower left corner of the drawing paper.

There is a signature: Ah Zhen.

Ji Zhentang embarrassedly reached out to block it, and the cramped movements explained everything.

Zhong Yubai looked at her red ears and asked, "Stage name?" ”

She replied, "This is last year's final assignment. "It's embarrassing to stand in front of the painting and block it with your body.

But it was clear that he had already appreciated her work.

It is ink painting, freehand school. There is a red fish in the water, which is the only fresh color in the whole painting, too full and warm red, looking at it for a long time, it seems that there are really fish swimming in it, stirring a pool of spring water.

Zhong Yubai carefully examined her work again and asked, "Is it the highest score?" ”

Ji Zhentang choked, shook his head and whispered, "No." ”

When she lowered her head, she saw the frustration in her eyes that could not be concealed, and he said, "The teacher is gone." ”

Ji Zhentang raised his lips imperceptibly, and the light in his eyes became light again, happy and restrained from moving.

She turned her attention back to the business card, snatched it from his fingertips, and opened it to take a look.

The business card has the principal's name written on it.

“……”

The business card was pinched between her fingers. There was still a little distance between them, so she could only look at his faint smile and hang her head in discouragement.

Someone behind him shouted, "Mr. Zhong, you are here." This is Professor Lin of the Academy of Marine Sciences. ”

It was the headmaster who spoke, and he brought in a well-mannered teacher.

Zhong Yubai glanced at the visitor, and then looked at Ji Zhentang with low eyebrows, he turned over slightly, and whispered, "Unaccompanied." ”

Ji Zhentang responded: "Okay." ”

Wait for Zhong Yubai to turn around and walk into the crowd.

She glanced at the time, and at the same time received a message from Lin Guixue: Ahhh

Ji Zhentang hurriedly returned: It's coming, two minutes.

After she finished speaking, she hurried out.

……

When he returned to class, hurriedly ended the pre, and sat down again, Ji Zhentang opened the textbook and lifted a page of scratch paper inside.

There is some bookkeeping information written on it. For example: zongzi 3 yuan, eyeliner 120 yuan, casserole rice noodles 18 yuan. Immediately after that, write down some of today's expenses.

Ji Zhentang glanced at his account balance, and it was time to think about his livelihood.

Ji Zhentang sent a message to Ji Huan: Dad, you see that I have become a little crab.

Ji Zhentang: [Picture]

She posted a cartoon of a crab.

Ji Huan: What do you mean?

Ji Zhentang: [Picture]

In this picture, the crab retracts one foot.

Ji Zhentang: But I don't have tongs.

Ji Huan had an epiphany and quickly transferred two thousand five to come.

Ji Zhentang accepted it with a smile, and was brewing in his heart how to be coquettish and thankful.

Soon, Ji Huan's new news popped up: It's big, it's good to go out to work and earn some change.

Ji Zhentang's smile froze on his face.

She replied: Uh-huh, I opened a small shop online.

Dad: Find a part-time job in a bubble tea shop and coffee shop, be practical.

Ji Zhentang: Okay, thank you, Dad!

Ji Zhentang: [Salute.jpg]

After waiting for three minutes, Ji Huan did not reply.

After five minutes of waiting, he still didn't reply.

She knew that her father would not return.

Ji Zhentang refreshed the interface to no avail, clicked into his father's circle of friends, and saw that he was recording his son's middle school life, but his eyes swept by, and a video cover would sting her eyes.

Didn't look any further.

She calmly withdrew and returned Huabei, and the balance was sharply reduced by 300 yuan, and her heart was like a knife.

is reluctant to admit that her father is just stingy with her, and it is also to retain a little self-esteem for her as a daughter who can't get on the stage.

Ji Huan told her more than once: "Your major is too expensive!" frowned to help her pay her tuition, and the look of disgust when she paid for it would burn her repeatedly.

She had to laugh and say: I'm sorry, thank you, Dad.

When it comes to a small business on the Internet, Ji Zhentang opened a book app, switched to an account that has not been in operation for a long time, and saw a red 1 displayed in the message prompt, so he rushed in and found that it was a message notification from the platform.

The cost of jewelry is too high, and Ji Zhentang's current principal is not up to standard, so he has to do cultural and creative design for a period of time.

When people are unlucky, even big data can bully you. I didn't die and pushed her a "person you may know", and at a glance I saw Zhao Siqi's glamorous account - their squad leader, a wealthy young man, is running his own brand, and in just one month, there are thousands of fans.

His avatar, a beautiful logo, with his brand name written in the middle: Serein.

Out of sight, she logged out of her account.

It's not a big blow, it's just that all the subtle unhappiness is stacked on top of each other, and it will press the human heart very tightly and cannot breathe.

"Hey."

Sigh.

"How's your traffic lately?" Lin Guixue glanced at her app interface.

Ji Zhentang said: "I haven't done it for a long time, and every time I carefully shoot a video for design, no one watches it." It feels like you're working in vain. ”

Lin Guixue said: "Luck problem, maybe one day I will get up, insist on it." ”

She was touched: "Thank you. ”

"There's no way, Internet business is like this, traffic is king, and cutting off the flow of people is cutting off the financial route. It's not hard to make money, but it's not easy. Accept that and then put your mind at ease. ”

Ji Zhentang said in a low voice: "I know." ”

Lin Guixue played with her mobile phone for a while, didn't know what she saw, and suddenly asked her, "Have you seen Zhong Yubai?" I heard that he came to school today, and the principal personally met him. ”

Ji Zhentang replied listlessly: "I've seen it, Zhong Heng's third uncle." He was also there at dinner that day. ”

I tried it casually, but I didn't expect a response. Lin Guixue's eyes lit up: "Really? Is it handsome? "A woman's gossip about a man can't hide from looks.

She replied officially: "It's okay." ”

"Is it okay? Legend has it that he is handsome and dignified, and his appearance is better than Pan An, but he is only okay with you. ”

Ji Zhentang diverted the topic and asked, "Why did the principal meet him?" ”

Lin Guixue: "You haven't looked at the group, the Academy of Marine Sciences wants to sign a cooperation with Boyang." ”

Ji Zhentang said: "Boyang? ”

"Haven't you heard? It's the Zhong family's Boyang, the shipbuilding industry group, the products and technologies are world-class. Lin Guixue gave a thumbs up, "Zhong Yubai is a big guy at this level, dominating the leader, calling for wind and rain." ”

When Ji Zhentang heard her say, he couldn't help but be surprised, and asked secretly: "Wow, you said that he is so powerful, will he have a lot of resources?" ”

"Something."

"For example, ahem, I'm just using an analogy – that is, my dad wants to sell tea and sell it abroad. But he has not had a very suitable channel, and he has not been able to reach some very high-class customers, you say, if the people of the Zhong family go to sell tea, will this matter be easy? ”

"I don't know the specifics, but a character of this level, let alone one channel, ten channels can be obtained." Lin Guixue asked, "Where is your dad going to sell?" ”

Ji Zhentang said: "I don't know, he said that domestic business is not good. Maybe Japan or Southeast Asia. ”

She said, frustrated again. What about knowing that others are awesome? In vain is jealousy.

Ji Zhentang opened the part-time group to take a look at the latest recruitment. This is closely related to her life, what can affect her is not the house and luxury, but the clear code of one or two hundred yuan behind the symbol of the RMB, like the waves that envelop her, squeeze her cheap energy to the exhaustion, and buy her few leisure time.

Who likes to read? Life without financial resources is like a swamp. Begging every day.

"Hey."

Sigh again.

At the end of class today, she received a call from an unfamiliar number.

Before the teacher finished the class, Ji Zhentang thought it was a harassing phone call and hung up casually.

A few seconds later, a text message came:

[I am Zhong Yubai. 】

After reading this line, Ji Zhentang bounced up from his seat.

was quickly pressed down by Lin Guixue: "Crazy, right?" I haven't finished class yet. ”

Ji Zhentang lowered his head in embarrassment and looked at the five words on the screen in disbelief. Probably just left the number on the roster at the door, so he found it.

Just as he was reminiscing, he heard Lin Guixue ask, "Didn't Zhong Heng tell you about his family?" ”

Ji Zhentang: "I haven't said much, he is very cautious, and will only talk about his dead mice." ”

Lin Guixue was deeply touched: "People like them are like this, you dig out your heart and lungs with him, what about him, this can't be said and that, keep it everywhere, and it's tiring to make friends." ”

Ji Zhentang grabbed the word "all" and asked, "Is Zhao Siqi like this?" ”

Lin Guixue: "He told me about some of the Zhong family's melons, do you want to listen to them?" ”

I wanted to know too much, Ji Zhentang hooked his hand: "Come on." ”

"In the past, the president of Boyang was Zhong Heng's father, called Zhong Jing, you know. Zhong Jing has a little ability, but not too much, his luck is still a little back, he loses here and there, and finally owes the bank a lot of debt, and Boyang's industry has been divided into several pieces. Later, Zhong Yubai returned to China, and Boyang's situation improved a little, and it didn't take long for him to empty the entire board of directors and replace it with his own henchmen, although Zhong Jing was given the title of chairman, but in fact, it was in name, and all the real power was in Zhong Yubai's hands. ”

No wonder......

No wonder Zhong Heng rejects him as the third uncle so much.

Ji Zhentang sighed: "How did he do it? ”

Lin Guixue said: "Wrist, wrist, if I knew how he did it, I would be a big boss today." ”

"Then how did Zhao Siqi know these things?"

"His brand can be done, but it is still stained with the light of Boyang."

"Serein?"

"Only with investment can we enter the market, and with capital support, it is different from our self-made business."

Hearing Lin Guixue say this, Ji Zhentang was a little relieved, and she smiled: "People born in Rome." ”

Lin Guixue: "Surrounded by people born in Rome, how small we look. ”

What she means is that the people who learn this line of work are all broad and young.

During recess, Ji Zhentang hurried to the stairwell where there was no one, clicked on the text message and looked at it, and after looking at the words "I am Zhong Yubai" for a while, she called back.

After beeping seven or eight times, the other party connected.

"Uncle, it's me."

It's noisy on her side, and calm on his side. Zhong Yubai was probably slightly surprised by this title, and he froze for a moment, and then his voice was warm and leisurely, and he asked, "Got out of class?" ”

Ji Zhentang nodded: "Yes, it's recess now, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

Zhong Yubai was silent and said bluntly: "There is indeed a favor that needs your help." ”

"Me? Doing you a favor? She was surprised and asked, "What is it?" ”

He didn't say it immediately on the phone, but only asked, "Are you free at night?" Can't afford to have dinner together? ”

Two questions that caught people off guard.

"Huh? Dinner," she asked, nonsensically, "...... Is the principal going too? ”

Zhong Yubai smiled: "There is no principal." ”

"So, Professor Lin?"

"There is no Professor Lin either."

"Is it just the two of us?"

After being silent for two or three seconds, he said slowly: "You can report to your boyfriend, I have something important to discuss with you." ”

Ji Zhentang pursed his lips and looked at the time on his phone, "What time is it?" Are you coming to pick me up? ”

Zhong Yubai: "Naturally. ”

Ji Zhentang said: "I got out of class at six o'clock. ”

He pondered for a moment: "Three hours later, I will be waiting in the snow garden. ”

Snow Park is a commercial street behind the museum and a traffic fortress of Qingdao University. Ji Zhentang hesitated and responded: "Well, okay." ”

Hearing a little reluctance, Zhong Yubai broke it for her: "What are the difficulties?" ”

"That's it, there are quite a lot of people after school in the evening. I'm a little afraid of people gossiping, can you ...... Hide and wait for me? She spoke, her voice low awkwardly.

He paused, chuckled, and then said, "I will ambush in time in the bushes at the foot of the mountain, until you find me." ”

Ji Zhentang smiled with relief: "Thank you." ”

Zhong Yubai said: "I have what I want, and I should be." ”
