Rebirth after the college entrance examination

Chapter 240 Xia An: Actually, I'm not that amazing

Xia An finalized an initial investment of 1500 million yuan, excluding the cost of building the factory.

It only covers assembly line purchases, tea garden facility upgrades, labor, and the establishment of a sales network.

And this is only the first one.

After the first batch of products is launched, he will continue to invest based on sales performance.

Upon hearing this number, Xu Wanying's rosy lips parted in astonishment.

This was ten times higher than she had expected.

You have to understand, this isn't just going from 150 yuan to 1,500 yuan, with a 10,000 yuan mark following it. Even though Xu Wanying studied finance, she had never actually seen that much money before.

"Are you really that rich? You can just pull out over ten million like that?"

She asked incredulously, her chest heaving, her heart pounding so hard that even the 36D bust couldn't hide it.

Xia An crossed his legs and shook them, like a little hooligan.

He gestured with his chin: "Didn't you just say I was rich? Why are you so insecure now?"

A strange sense of melancholy flashed through Xu Wanying's mind as she muttered, "Really impressive."

Xia An laughed and said, "Tsk, that's not right. You can't think I'm great just because I'm rich. That would make you seem mercenary and materialistic. In my memory, Teacher Xu is the kind of person who is pure and untainted by the mud."

Xu Wanying said hurriedly, "I'm not materialistic! I always thought you were very capable."

"Oh? Before? Until how long ago?"

"I felt it before the class monitor was chosen."

"Really? Then what do you think I'm good at?"

"I……"

After the rapid-fire Q&A session, Xu Wanying finally realized she had been tricked, her face turning as red as a piece of duck blood fished out of chili oil.

Watching Xia An raise his eyebrows, squint his eyes, and shake his leg while chewing on a weed, she almost bit her lip until it bled.

Xu Wanying snatched the garbled object from Xia An's mouth and glared at him fiercely.

"The saying 'emerging from the mud unsullied' saved your dog's life!"

With an angry stomp of her foot, Xu Wanying got up and left.

Xia An remained completely still, watching the slender little potato disappear into the fog.

Before long, he stormed back.

"No, you haven't said how many shares you want yet."

Xia An held up two fingers.

Seeing this, Xu Wanying's eyes blazed with anger. "Bullshit! If that's the case, wouldn't my whole family be working for you?!"

Xia An didn't take it seriously and said cheerfully, "Teacher Xu, I've stated all my conditions. Whether you agree or not is up to you to think about."

"you!"

Xu Wanying stared at him, her anger unabated, and her eyes gradually welled up with tears.

Finally, he stomped his foot again…

This time, he's really gone.

Xia An took a deep breath, thinking to himself: Business is business. What good is beauty to me?

……

As they descended the mountainside, the enraged Little Potato slipped and fell.

My butt got covered in mud.

Liu Youwei, who was practicing Tai Chi five meters away, caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye, and decisively turned his back to it, pretending not to see it.

Xu Wanying looked back at the mountaintop, but no one came out. Finally, she was so angry that she shed two small pearls.

She genuinely hadn't expected Xia An to ask for so much at once. Her proposal only stated a 10% transfer, which, although significantly more money, was still insufficient...

The tea plantation is the culmination of my parents' life's work, it's not something to sell...

Even if we sell it... that 15 million won't end up in our own hands.

unacceptable!

unacceptable!

How could I have taught such an ungrateful student!

Anger helped her stand up.

Liu Youwei seemed to have eyes in the back of his ears; he turned around only when she approached, and asked with a surprised smile, "Oh? Miss Xu and President Xia have finished their talk?"

Why does it feel like something's not going well?

Is the boss moving too fast?
Xu Wanying continued walking, and snorted:
"I'm not going to talk to him, I don't want his filthy money!"

Watching her leave, Liu Youwei still smiled, but a thousand curses raged through his mind; he shouldn't have come.

……

Xia An spent a full hour and a half on the mountain before coming down. He thoroughly enjoyed the scenery and wished he could call all the fruit candies over to relax.

Meanwhile, after his previous drunken episode, he noticed once again that the way Teacher Xu looked at him had changed.

Wealth amplifies a man's attractiveness.

This is not a good sign.

The red flag hasn't been raised, but colorful flags are flying everywhere. This is really bad, very bad.

Xia An wandered aimlessly around a group of tiled houses as she descended the mountain. Behind the houses was a small pond with lotus flowers and male and female frogs on the lotus leaves.

The simple villagers were frying tea under the eaves, and the light aroma wafted far and wide.

They looked at Xia An, who was squatting to one side watching, with smiles on their faces and kind expressions.

very relaxing.

The more relaxed you are, the more tired you feel.

Xia An felt tired after New Year's Day.

He had never stood at such a height before. Looking around, he saw dangers lurking everywhere, ambushes on all sides, and the road ahead was extremely difficult.

Looking around, there were very few people around him who could help him.

The main characters are few in number.

He regretted that he shouldn't have treated his capable wife as a business partner.

Every step from now on is fraught with danger; how could he bear to let any of them get hurt?
He regretted not having cultivated more grassroots friends like Zhang Tiancheng when he first devised his path to wealth.

It's too fast. It's only been half a year and it's already reached this level. This is beyond his expectations.

Every day after the Spring Festival, he felt as if he were in a thick fog, needing to work extremely hard and be extremely careful to even vaguely see the road ahead, and needing to be extremely cautious before daring to take a step.

Xu Wanying's earlier "Wow, that's amazing!" made him realize that everyone seemed to think so, that he was incredibly talented.

But am I really that good?

Besides being a prophet, are I truly capable enough to protect my family?

Everyone who seems carefree and cheerful about life actually has an inner world like the ocean, calm on the surface, but difficult for outsiders to perceive the turbulent undercurrents beneath.

He was really panicking.

I want to rest a bit more in this environment, to calm down and reflect.

Smoke rises from the chimney.

Xia An discovers that Xu Wanying has joined the cooking team.

He was a little hesitant to eat it.

Could this adorable little girl have poisoned him?
He went over to her, but the little girl ignored him and puffed up her cheeks.

"Was there anything added?"

"Oh, yes."

Xia An noticed her heavy nasal tone, "You have a cold?"

Xu Wanying tossed her hair, looking like a woman.

He sighed, "I caught a bit of a chill going up the mountain at noon."

During the meal, it was Xu's mother who served Xia An food.

Xu Wanying made an excuse that she wasn't feeling well and went back to her room after finishing her meal.

The inspection was scheduled for two days. We'll be sleeping here tonight. Xia An and Liu Youwei will be staying in a separate tile-roofed house.

At six o'clock in the evening, in the twilight, everything was peaceful and serene.

Xia An texted Xu Wanying: "Want to chat?"

Xu Wanying quickly replied, "Come to my room."

She lived in the room by the mountain, with a small courtyard in front of the door. The courtyard was planted with colorful flowers, and a few little rabbits were eating vegetable leaves and carrots. When they saw Xia An coming, they hopped and skipped away to a distance.

Xu Wanying's room smelled of tea, had bookshelves that were cluttered, and had plush toys.

There wasn't much decoration; it resembled a female student's bedroom.

Xu Wanying slipped on her slippers and poured tea for Xia An, then asked him to sit at the desk while she sat on the edge of the bed.

The window offers a direct view of the evening glow and sunset.

"I haven't told my parents. I still think you're joking, right?"

Xu Wanying looked at him, her eyes filled with stubbornness and expectation.

Xia An didn't look at her. She took a sip of warm tea, gazed out the window, and sighed softly.

"Actually, I'm not that great."

"..."
