I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 147.2008 Please reply upon receipt.

"152, weight 41, next!"

After putting on her shoes, Lin Wanning took back her medical examination form and grinned as she approached Xu Qingfan, "Hehe~ Brother Qingfan, you're not as tall as me!"

Three years have passed, and although he is now a sixth-grader, Lin Wanning still likes to call Xu Qingfan "Brother Qingfan". However, he doesn't know when he stopped calling himself "Ningning" in public.

"Shorty!" Xia Xiaoxiao easily placed her hand on Xu Qingfan's head and gave him a gentle push.

"1.61 meters tall, 48 kilograms, next!"

Xia Xiaoxiao got off the weighing scale and gave Xu Qingfan a provocative look.

"Brother Fan? Little Fan!" Xiao Ruanwen walked past him, smiling as she ruffled his hair.

"You'll only be smug for the next two years. Once I'm fully grown and taller than you, you'll be a head taller!" Xu Qingfan was speechless.

"1.58 meters tall, 44 kilograms, next!"

“Brother, Yi Yi, we’re the same height!” Zhang Yi Yi walked up to Xu Qingfan and gestured with her palm to show their heights.

"Alright, alright, go measure yourself. So what if I'm not as tall as you guys? I don't mind at all!"

"Is Yi Yi taller than Brother Qing Fan too?"

"It's hard to say, but it looks like Fan Ge is wearing height-increasing shoes!" Xiao Ruanwen covered her mouth and chuckled from the side.

"Damn it! Don't slander me out of thin air. A pair of lousy Nikes can't make you taller!" Xu Qingfan didn't mind being called short, but he really couldn't stand being told that he wore height-increasing shoes.

"Someone's getting anxious!" Xia Xiaoxiao urged, stirring things up.

"Say that again and I'll jump up and punch you in the knees!"

"Hahaha~" Xu Qingfan's self-deprecating remark made the three of them burst into laughter.

"One hundred and fifty, weight thirty-seven, the child is a little too light, he should eat more."

"Okay, thank you, nurse." Zhang Yiyi nodded obediently, took back her medical examination form, and then joined the others. "We're all the same height!" she said, handing her medical examination form to everyone.

"Yi-yi, you're so thin! You only weigh 274 pounds!" Xiao Ruanwen said mentally.

“You’re too thin. A normal person who is 1.5 meters tall should weigh 90 kilograms like me to be considered healthy. From now on, you’re not allowed to eat only one or two ounces of rice!” Xu Qingfan nodded in agreement.

Zhang Yiyi's eyes widened, and she shrugged and sighed like a deflated balloon, "Then eat it, one and a half ounces!"

"They're just tired of the cafeteria food. It's been the same few dishes for six years, it's sickening!" Lin Wanning said, standing up for his good friend.

"Always making excuses. I never see you two eat much when we go out to eat. Let's go get our eyes checked and get in line!" Xu Qingfan habitually reached out and patted Lin Wanning's head. Luckily, he wasn't as tall as Xia Xiaoxiao, so it wasn't too difficult to pat him.

"Hehe~" Lin Wanning smiled shyly and pulled Zhang Yiyi to rush to the line for vision testing.

"Fan-ge, all you can do is pat Wan Ning's head." Xiao Ruanwen swayed back and forth in front of him like a lively and energetic husky.

"My assessment is, fortunes change every thirty years, so never underestimate a young man's potential!" Xu Qingfan made a "you wait" expression with his index finger before following behind Lin Wanning in line.

[How did she grow so tall?] Xia Xiaoxiao followed behind, somewhat annoyed. Elementary school students have strange aesthetics; tall girls, no matter how pretty, are all treated as ugly.

If she could choose, she would like to switch heights with Zhang Yi.

However, just thinking about Xu Qingfan's little expression as he peeked at her thighs and stubbornly refused to admit it, Xia Xiaoxiao smiled happily again.

After completing their annual physical examination, the five students returned to Class 16 of Grade 6.

"Ugh, the next class is another one by Abbess Miejue!" Lin Wanning complained, slumped onto the desk after looking at the schedule.

"Don't panic yet, my workbook is missing. Can you help me find it? Is it with you?" Xu Qingfan rummaged through drawers and cabinets at his desk.

"Huaren brand 2060 model mobile phone, Silly Girl, is at your service. Please enter the power-on password!" Lin Wanning pinched his nose and imitated a robot's voice.

"You're such a grown-up, but I love you!"

"Incorrect password, please answer again!"

"I like Ningning the most!" Xu Qingfan rolled his eyes at her and whispered in Lin Wanning's ear.

"Hehe~ Password correct!" Lin Wanning couldn't help but laugh out loud. "You lent me the workbook this morning, Qingfan, your memory is terrible." She returned the workbook that was tucked inside her own to Xu Qingfan.

"Oh, oh, I think so. I've been too busy lately," Xu Qingfan nodded in realization.

"If I steal a pig again tonight, I can reach level 60. Brother Qingfan, I gave you seven days of Yellow Diamond membership, why don't you use it?" Lin Wanning said to himself. "All you do is top up Lao Ma's QQ coins. Today is Lao Ma's birthday, you can get a sun by forwarding this post, but you didn't forward it." Xu Qingfan laughed irritably.

"Brother Qingfan, you're lying! Old Ma's birthday isn't today. Ningning already shared it last month!"

"Pfft~ Hahaha!" Xu Qingfan laughed so hard he almost fell over, remembering the post Lin Wanning had forwarded last time.

A South Korean netizen said that He Jiong has no fans, which made He Jiong cry. Share this post to support He Jiong. If you don't share it, you're not a true Chinese!

"What's so funny!" Lin Wanning glanced at him sideways, looking at him with some insecurity.

"Cough cough~ It's not funny at all. Youth is like sugar, sweet to the point of sadness. You did a great job!" Xu Qingfan read Lin Wanning's online name with a straight face.

"Which world are we in together? What are you laughing at?" Xu Qingfan publicly called out Zhang Yiyi's online name.

"Brother, no!" Zhang Yiyi, who had been watching the commotion, immediately rushed over and covered Xu Qingfan's mouth.

Hearing Xia Xiaoxiao's laughter behind him, he turned around and said, "And you, what are you laughing at now?"

Xia Xiaoxiao's face darkened instantly. That's how her personal signature is. It looks cool online, but if someone reads it aloud in real life, she'll just feel embarrassed and want to throw away her three-bedroom apartment.

"It's better than letting your past fade away!" Xia Xiaoxiao flicked Xu Qingfan on the head with a flick of the wrist.

"Exactly! Brother Qingfan's online name is awful, just as tacky as my dad's 'Flying Dragon in the Sky'!" Lin Wanning chimed in in support of Xia Xiaoxiao.

"It sounds awful, it sounds awful!"

Lin Wanning, Zhang Yiyi, and Xia Xiaoxiao suddenly became united against a common enemy.

"Okay, okay~ My username is the worst, I surrender." Xu Qingfan raised his hands in surrender.

"Hmph~ 'Let bygones be bygones'? Why don't you just fly to the sky!" Xia Xiaoxiao gently stroked her bangs, picked up her pen, and continued doing her homework.

"What are you talking about? I could hear the laughter outside," Xiao Ruanwen asked with a grin as she came back from her office.

"I'm referring to your online name, 'The world is cruel, but I'm incredibly gentle!'"

"Hey, Fan-ge, you're so annoying!" Xiao Ruanwen punched his shoulder with her little fists.

After being criticized and lectured by the four girls in unison, Xu Qingfan promised to never read out their online names in public again. Just then, the class bell rang.

The woman who walked into the classroom was a middle-aged woman in her forties, their math teacher and homeroom teacher.

As for Guan Bianyue, she left the Experimental Primary School two years ago and joined Xu Qingfan's Delicious Duck Neck family.

As the leading private enterprise in Licheng, Haowei Duck Neck now has 873 directly operated stores and 1654 franchise stores, providing more than 2000 jobs for the local area.

During a joint law enforcement raid last year to crack down on counterfeit products, they achieved the remarkable feat of shutting down more than 300 fake duck neck shops in a single day, which made the reputation of Pizza Hut in Licheng spread far and wide.

It's almost certain that Haowei Duck Neck will be listed in Hong Kong or the US in the near future. As one of the earliest veterans, Guan Bianyue will definitely receive incentive shares, making it easy for him to become a millionaire.

"Class, stand up!"

"Hello teacher!"

"Hello, students, please sit down!"

The students in the class were quite afraid of their homeroom teacher, who had the title of provincial-level outstanding teacher. They all put their hands on their desks like obedient children, pretending to listen attentively to the lesson.

Xu Qingfan habitually stared out the window in a daze, thinking about what he needed to do next.

2008 was a year that countless Chinese people will never forget. They will never forget the impact of La Niña on China, which brought widespread low temperatures, rain, snow, and freezing weather to the south in January; they will never forget the devastating earthquake on May 12, in which countless compatriots were buried underground, and the news anchor reading out the casualty figures from various regions with tears in his eyes, and the middle-aged man carrying a shoulder pole reminding the host to be careful, but not knowing where the road was leading.
Thanks to his intervention, the cold wave in January was a great relief for Haowei Duck Neck. He contributed both money and effort, providing a form of intangible publicity while also easing the burden on the government.

However, even if he were reborn, he would still be human, not a god. He couldn't make people believe that there would be a natural disaster on May 512th. After all, even the most sophisticated seismographs couldn't determine the exact time of an earthquake, so how could he?

Nevertheless, he prepared enough disaster relief supplies to be transported to the affected areas as soon as possible when the disaster occurred.

The Chinese people will never let a patriotic entrepreneur suffer a loss. Every piece of clothing and every bottle of water donated to the disaster area will turn into ten or a hundred times the profit and be returned to Haowei Duck Neck.

Zhong Wenqing was still pondering how to gain a foothold in the fiercely competitive northern market dominated by Zhou Hei Ya and Jue Wei Ya Bo, unaware that Xu Qingfan had already laid out his pieces and was preparing for a major strategic move.

It's worth mentioning that Haowei Duck Neck is no longer just a braised food company; its subsidiaries are involved in multiple fields such as real estate, distilled water, down jackets, and braised snacks.

After taking Xu Qingfan's advice, they are now preparing to enter the health tea beverage market similar to Oriental Leaf.

Although Xu Qingfan is only twelve years old this year, a sixth-grade student and a Young Pioneer captain with three stripes on his shoulders, Zhang Chunxue and Zhong Wenqing are very willing to listen to his suggestions because every suggestion he has made over the years has been very effective.

Hopefully everything will go smoothly this time too.
