My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 82: Continuation of Eight Years Ago (23)

Zhuang Xiao opened his eyes and saw the ceiling that had become very familiar.

He lay down for a while before sitting up from the big bed, then turned off the air humidifier on the bedside table. After the mist stopped surging, he picked up his mobile phone to check the time.

came back.

He immediately called Dong Zeyu and the other two, and all of them answered the phone, and there was no strangeness in their tone.

The Dong brothers and sisters will come over for dinner in the evening. Shu Die once again becomes his secretary and will be here soon.

Everything is fine.

Zhuang Xiao was in a daze for a while before getting up to wash up. Just at this moment Shu Die pushed the door open.

Zhuang Xiao stuck his upper body out with a toothbrush in his mouth, "Coming?"

"Wow! Brother Xiao! Why are you not wearing any clothes!"

Looking at Zhuang Xiao's naked upper body, Shu Die's face turned red and she raised her hands to cover her eyes.

It's just that the gap between the two hands spread out was a bit too big, and those starry eyes were wide open, which was a bit of self-deception.

Women are also lustful.

Zhuang Xiao thought it was funny, "If you envy her figure, why don't you just work out yourself?"

Although he has never exercised for a single day, his current body shape is still entirely due to his "eight years" of hard work!

"I don't want to develop a deformed butt." Shu Die pouted, "Besides, my body shape is good to begin with. It would not look good if I were to develop into a muscular woman like Dong Weirui."

"Okay, let's talk about the work schedule." Zhuang Xiao came out after washing up, put on a T-shirt, and then went to the refrigerator to get two bottles of water.

He unscrewed one bottle and handed it to Shu Die, then he opened the other bottle and took a sip.

"Oh." Shu Die took the glass bottle, took a sip, and put it on the coffee table. Then she took out the tablet from her bag and began to introduce it.

"You said you wanted to visit your former high school teacher Xu Qicheng this afternoon. The school is preparing the venue and waiting for your guidance."

"Ah? So grand? What about waiting for the wind to come?" Zhuang Xiao wondered.

"What do you mean by waiting for the wind? This is not part of our itinerary today." Shu Die still felt strange. "We went to the High-tech Park at noon and came back."

"I see." Zhuang Xiao nodded.

It seems that after Xu Guoping's death, his medical institution indeed ceased to exist.

"So is there any specific medicine for treating amblyopia now?" Zhuang Xiao asked again.

Although Xu Guoping's "story line" has ended, the things and research materials left in the secret room are still there.

"That's not the case." Shu Die glanced at Zhuang Xiao's right eye, "Brother Xiao, I know you want to cure your amblyopia, but there's really no way now."

After a pause, she was afraid that Zhuang Xiao would be disappointed, so she quickly pressed a few buttons on the tablet and handed it to Zhuang Xiao, "But I saw in the news that a team has developed a drug to treat amblyopia, but it's still in the clinical trial stage and it will definitely not be available on the market within a year or two.

"Brother Xiao, if you want to invest in them, I will contact them, or I can ask my father's group to come forward."

"Let's talk about this later. What's the name of the team leader?" Zhuang Xiao was not interested in drugs for treating amblyopia, but he was very interested in who developed the drugs.

"Her surname is An, and her name is An Lan." Shu Die pointed at the tablet in Zhuang Xiao's hand, "Look, that's her."

Zhuang Xiao looked down and saw that the photo in the news showed a kind-hearted old lady in a white coat. The old lady wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and had the kind of short curly hair common among elderly women. She always had a peaceful smile on her face.

Zhuang Xiao felt that the face looked somewhat familiar, but he definitely didn't recognize him.

Maybe it really was just an accident.

He returned the tablet to Shudie and looked at the time on the clock on the wall. It was almost 16 p.m.

"By the way, when are we going to school? Is it necessary for the school to make such a big fuss? I'm just going back to visit the teacher."

Judging from his behavior, Xu Qicheng should still be teaching at school.

Well. As a result, he is living a better life than in the previous timeline when Xu Guoping was the big boss of a medical institution.

"There's nothing I can do." Shu Die put her hands on her hips helplessly, "After all, your math teacher is now the principal of your school."

Zhuang Xiao whistled, "It seems that Teacher Xu is doing well."

He killed his father, but he ended up living a more comfortable life.

It turns out that people cannot waste their energy on internal consumption.

"Shall we set off now?"

"We must set off now. It will be too late if we don't go now."
-
Gust arrived at the school gate. Zhuang Xiao looked out the car window at the red carpet at the school gate, the flower baskets on both sides, and the red banner hanging on the school gate. The corners of his mouth twitched. "'Warmly welcome our alumnus Mr. Zhuang Xiao to the 60th anniversary celebration'. Wasn't the 60th anniversary last year?"

Shu Die, who was sitting in the driver's seat, had put on gold-rimmed plain glasses at some point. She raised her index finger and pushed the legs of her glasses, pretending to analyze, "Because your teacher just became the principal not long ago, he doesn't have enough prestige, so he wants to pull you over to support him."

"Fine."

Just stand on the platform.

You killed someone's father and prevented him from becoming a rich second-generation, so it doesn't matter if you help him a little.

"Let's go. Don't keep Teacher Xu waiting."

After Zhuang Xiao and his friends entered, a bunch of leaders came up to shake hands with them, and then took them to the auditorium to watch the school anniversary student performance.

After everything was over, Xu Qicheng sat down with Zhuang Xiaoneng in the principal's office to catch up.

It's just that there are other people here.

Zhuang Xiao glanced at the people in the office.

Needless to say, Xu Qicheng looked depressed eight years later in the previous "timeline", his clothes were ragged, his body was hunched, and his skin was tanned by wind and rain.

But now this delicate-skinned guy with slicked-back hair and wearing a suit looks much better than in the previous "timeline".

Moreover, he was in good spirits and looked like a middle-aged man full of vigor and vitality.

Even a little bit fat.

What interested Zhuang Xiao more were the other three people.

Luo Wei, Liu Lang and Liu Yan.

He was also startled when he saw Zhuang Xiao, then nodded and bowed to greet him, "Hello, Mr. Zhuang."

Xu Qicheng saw Zhuang Xiao's eyes lingering on Luo Wei, so he introduced them: "Xiao Zhuang, these three were my students before. This is Luo Wei. Maybe you forgot that he was also a victim of my father's incident. Now he is a manager in a foreign trade company."

Zhuang Xiao nodded and said nothing.

"This is Liu Lang. He joined the army after graduation and was admitted to a military academy. After he was demobilized, he worked as a policeman at the police station."

Liu Lang, who was sitting upright with a serious expression, stood up and shook hands with Zhuang Xiao, "Mr. Zhuang."

"This is Liu Yan, Liu Lang's sister and Luo Wei's wife. I never thought they would end up together. Forget it, let's not talk about that."

Xu Qicheng stopped talking halfway through.

Of course Zhuang Xiao understood what he meant.

Liu Yan's original husband was Shen Xing, but Shen Xing died eight years ago, so it was Zhuang Xiao who did it himself.

Luo Wei has always liked Liu Yan. After Shen Xing passed away, he didn't expect that they would end up together.

In the end, Luo Wei went to work as a manager in a foreign trade company, and Liu Lang did not experience those changes and still became a policeman.

This is quite interesting.

Luo Wei looked at Zhuang Xiao with an extremely flattering expression, but there was a hint of barely perceptible fear deep in his eyes.

Zhuang Xiao nodded. He had no intention of having any interaction with these three people.

So he said, "Teacher Xu, it's not convenient for you here. I'll come to see you in two days."

"I'm afraid I don't have time." Xu Qicheng sighed, "I have to go back to the county tomorrow. After my dad's incident, our family has not allowed him to move into the ancestral grave. I asked his teacher, who is also the old principal of our school, to help me plead for him. I hope it will be possible by then."

"Can I help with this?" Zhuang Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. "This kind of thing would require someone with some social influence to do it."

"That's why I went to see the old principal. After she found out, she was very concerned. She said she had postponed many things to come back." Xu Qicheng introduced: "By the way, you may have heard of her name. Not long ago, the news said that our country has developed a drug for amblyopia. Did you know? I remember that Xiaozhuang has amblyopia in your right eye, right? Now you can use the drug in a few years when it is on the market."

"I've heard of it." Zhuang Xiao asked calmly, "So Mr. An Lan is the former principal of our school?"

"Yes, it's been about ten years." Xu Qicheng explained with a smile, "When she was the principal, you were still in junior high school. You might have seen her at the school assembly.

"It was later. After the junior high school incident, she resigned and unexpectedly, she ushered in a second spring in her career after moving to Beijing.

"She always felt sorry for what happened to my dad. She said my dad wasn't that kind of person. I didn't expect that she would still take time out of her busy schedule to help me this time. I'm quite grateful."

Zhuang Xiao smiled and nodded, "That's good, teacher. If you need any help, you can come to me directly."

After chatting for a while, Zhuang Xiao took Shu Die and left on the pretext of something.

When he walked out of the school and got in the car, the smile on his face disappeared, and then he told Shu Die, "Xiao Die, go check on An Lan."

There was something he wanted to confirm, but he would have to talk to Grand Tutor Wei Rui and the others in the evening before he could do so.
