Rebirth after the college entrance examination

Chapter 49: Thank Sister Xiaofang for Me (4K6)

After that day, Lin Jiajia never contacted Xia An for personal matters again.

Every time we met or called, it was about website maintenance and hospice projects.

This was the result Xia An had anticipated.

He guessed that the phrase "there is a long way to go" must have shocked Lin Jiajia deeply.

There is a ten-year age difference between us, and I have been calling her aunt for two and a half years. There is no point in being anxious.

Let the bullet fly for a while.

After the two separated that afternoon, Xia An took out 10,000 yuan and gave it to Wei Xiaofang, saying it was a red envelope from Lao Zhou for her admission to higher education.

As for the more valuable camera, he said it was a gift from Lin Jiajia.

The most amazing thing was that Xia An also took Tang Wan's notebook back home.

"It was also given by Aunt Lin. She discarded it and gave it to me to use."

"How much does this set cost?" asked Xia's mother.

"Let's say the computer is fifty or sixty thousand."

Mr. and Mrs. Xia scratched their heads.

Watching her son leave home early and return late for two consecutive days carrying a large camera bag, Wei Xiaofang privately asked her husband, "Will our son become a big journalist in the future?" He looked very tired.

Xia Kangning disapproved and advised her, "Haven't you seen how energetic your son is? As long as he likes it, that's fine."

After Lao Zhou got the divorce certificate, he flew back to the northwest the next day, perhaps out of guilt or in a hurry to start another family.

He also left a message to Xia Kangning and his wife: tell him when the small supermarket starts to be renovated, and he will be responsible for the supply chain, fire protection, and health inspections.

Xia Kangning has already talked to Youzi's father about merging to open a small supermarket.

There was no problem with the initial negotiation, and we agreed to meet and discuss in detail after the other party returned.

Xia An knew that Zuo You would lose in the second round of qualifying on the 20th. At that time, Zuo You's father would come back to run the restaurant first, and Zuo You's mother would accompany her daughter to wait for the award ceremony performance on the 4th to end before returning.

Ten thousand yuan was nothing to Lao Zhou, so Xia Kangning called to express his gratitude.

But the couple didn't know that Lin Jiajia had previously used hundreds of thousands of dollars from Lao Zhou to invest in stocks, and was now a wealthy woman.

They just felt that Lin Jiajia didn't take a penny of Lao Zhou's property, but instead gave Xia An such a valuable gift...

Even though the only relationship between the two parties had been severed, Wei Xiaofang still had to express her gratitude. After two days of struggling, she finally made a phone call and invited the other party to dinner at her home.

In Northeast China, family dinner is a more grand way to entertain guests than going to a luxury hotel.

But Lin Jiajia declined.

After discussing with Xia Kangning, Wei Xiaofang spent 6,000 yuan to buy a set of cosmetics.

In the evening, he opened Xia An's door and asked Xia An to take some time to deliver it to Lin Jiajia, and invited her again in person.

Xia An, who was "mixing dirty water" on the computer, glanced at the Guerlain gift box and said with a smile that the quality was average, but it was enough.

Wei Xiaofang didn't understand at all.

Seeing that her son had been staying up late to draw and type these days, Wei Xiaofang touched Xia An's head and said with relief:
“I’m working so hard even before school starts.

"Silly son, if you had this kind of drive when you were little, you would have definitely been admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University.

"I won't have to work as a reporter in the wind and sun anymore.

"Come on, your parents will support you no matter what you do."

Xia An: “?”

When he got closer, he could smell only the scent of Dabao SOD honey on his mother.

As far as she can remember, Xia An has never seen Wei Xiaofang buy cosmetics.

Looking at the exquisitely packaged gift bag again, Xia An felt that what he had just said, "average quality", was really an exaggeration.

Before dinner, Xia An sent the thoroughly edited Word document to Zhang Tiancheng via an encrypted IP and a new email address.

The note is: Let’s get started.

In order to avoid Tang Tianxing, Zhang Chunmin found some connections and left without saying goodbye the day before yesterday. She went to Yanjing to attend the real estate industry summit organized by Baoli Group and will not be back for a few days.

Xia An thought about it and decided to go into battle himself.

For two days and two nights, he took his camera during the day and went deep into the countryside, pretending to be a photographer collecting folk songs.

I also went there secretly once in the middle of the night and once in the early morning, and indeed found a lot of materials.

Autumn is the harvest season, and the crops are ripe.

Sheng Tang Trade's fresh produce purchases are in full swing. They usually arrive in Yang County around three in the morning and purchase from farmers at extremely low prices.

The trucks will then be driven into the warehouse for cleaning.

During the process, the goods were mixed into the bottom of the box that had been soaked in preservatives in the cold storage for a long time.

Or it could be "garbage" that has already rotted and is being processed.

These are fruits and vegetables.

The hard work of making meat, eggs and other side dishes is even more domineering.

So, were all these summer eucalyptus trees photographed?
Of course not, not a single one.

But he described it vividly.

That’s enough. Even if there is sufficient evidence, it won’t bring down Tang Tianxing.

Xia An has only one goal - to delay the listing process of Tang Group.

Shengtang Trading's supply chain links and terminal supermarkets, as the core assets of the entire group, play a vital role in the listing evaluation.

Xia An was going to pour dirty water on it bit by bit.

First trade, then real estate...

Guerrilla encirclement and suppression one point at a time, and after he gets the domain name fee, he will ignite them all at once, bang!
He was small in stature, poorly equipped, and didn't dare to expose himself easily, so he had no choice but to do this.

At the dinner table, Xia An yawned twice, and his parents immediately scolded him for being as sleepy as a child because he hadn't slept all night.

Xia Kangning, who became rich overnight, refined his already frivolous character to the extreme.

Tapping the table with the tip of his chopsticks, he told Xia An seriously, "It's right to work hard, but you have to do it in the right way..."

After talking for five minutes in a row, Xia An felt even more sleepy.

On TV, Tang Tianxing was being interviewed by a local news station.

Tang Er, dressed in a suit and tie, spoke to the camera with great momentum, saying that Tang Group would be successful in its listing and would be the first high-quality enterprise in the province to enter the top 500, and so on.

Wei Xiaofang held up her rice bowl and said with disdain, "He's a bad person, full of bad intentions."

Xia Kangning sighed: "During the Tang Tiande era, it was truly a time when thousands of families were living Buddhas."

Xia An wondered if this was how the idiom was used.
But he couldn't help but smile.

Even honest people like my parents sneered at Tang Tianxing when they saw him, which shows how unpopular he was among the local people.

At present, Tang Tianxing only has a strong fist but no strong backing. He is just a hyena entrenched in the East China Sea Province.

The sheep people feared him, his fox colleagues ignored him, and the tiger officials despised him.

But once he succeeds in going public and making it over the top, he will inevitably be tied up with local politics. Unless he waits for the officialdom earthquake many years later, it will be completely difficult for him to do anything once Tang Er puts on his cassock.

After finishing the last two mouthfuls of rice, Xia An silently told himself that this was not just for Tang Wan, but for the people of the entire province.

Great kindness!

Putting down the bowl, he said, "Too much affection and unrighteousness will lead to one's own destruction."

Xia Kangning scolded him with such a simple sentence but used it incorrectly?
"That's called 'those who do evil will eventually perish.'" my father corrected me.

For a moment, both father and son felt that they were not wrong.

……

Starting at midnight that evening, Dongshan’s local people’s life network, major forums, social groups, media official email addresses and other Internet gathering places and credible authority institutions were all filled with “gossip” about the prosperous Tang Dynasty trade.

Over the past ten years, 80% of the population have been slandering Tang Tianxing in private, but it was just idle gossip after dinner.

There has never been such an organized and disciplined press release as this one.

Immediately, the staff on duty at several newspapers reported the matter to the public relations department of Tang Group.

The experienced public relations team immediately took action, deleted the article, controlled comments, and did not make any response.

By the early morning, half of the water army was already under Zhang Tiancheng's online control. They turned their spearheads and broke into the networks of several surrounding prefecture-level cities.

Meanwhile, the night was getting late.

Tang Xiaowan, who had been instructed by Xia An in advance, no longer cared about the rumors about the Tang Group.

Xia An’s words were: He bullied you, I will help you get revenge.

Even earlier: I'll help you beat him up.

Tang Wan didn't want to take back what belonged to her, but deep down, she felt that the group was founded by her parents and was the result of their life's hard work.

'Can he do it?'

"Even if you help me kick Tang Tianxing hard?"

Tang Wan, who had not had anyone to rely on for ten years, suddenly felt that the little boy's shoulders were very broad.

It feels really good to have a man who is willing to stand up for you.

It was almost two in the morning when I finished writing the second part of the academic report.

But Tang Wan still didn't plan to sleep.

She clearly remembered Xia An saying that there was something wrong with the logic of her speech.

snort!
During the more than half a month in Binhai, Tang Wan developed the habit of buying books.

Classic masterpieces, Eastern and Western literature, and crosstalk collections. Even if I can't get much into them, I always touch them before going to bed every night.

In front of the desk lamp.

Tang Xiaowan, with her hair tied in a bun and wearing big glasses, was sitting cross-legged on a chair. She finally chose her target and reached out to take a copy of "No Longer Human" that was of the right size and thickness.

Covered with braised beef bucket noodles.

……

On Wednesday morning, Xia An successfully passed Subject 1.

The old coach took the initiative to insert him into the exam list so that he could catch up with the second subject next week.

There was no external road test in 06, and Xia An wanted to get the certificate before reporting on the 24th.

He stuffed another Furong King into his stomach, and the old coach told him that as long as he didn't stall during the exam next week, he would definitely pass.

Xia An felt that this person was the kind of person who would do things for money and was very efficient.

After coming out of the traffic management office examination room, Xia An called Lin Jiajia to make an appointment.

Lin Jiajia hesitated at first, but later agreed to let Xia An wait for her for two hours.

"See you at the cafe?"

"Goodbye. I can't sit there for two hours. Call me when you're done."

Xia An went to the second floor which was under renovation.

The exterior walls and interior structure of the main building are almost complete, and the water and electricity lines are being laid.

The eucalyptus trees in the backyard were not moved for the time being and were used to store dozens of door number light boxes that Zhang Chunmin had arranged for people to make.

This was Xia An's spoils when he planned to completely overturn the Sheng Tang supply chain.

Zhang Tiancheng helped Xia An deal with the Tang family's secrets day and night, while Liu Youwei stayed in the store alone to watch over the construction team.

Although the two had already formally signed a technology investment contract with Xia An, their attitude towards him remained the same.

This is not servility, but they cannot understand the younger boss Xia who seems to know everything.

In Liu Youwei's eyes, Xia An is generous, decisive, and full of ideas, making him the most suitable person to be a boss.

The key is youth.

He is 19 years old and has not yet gone to college. He casually spends tens of millions of dollars. What kind of background does he have?
Seeing Xia An talking on the phone alone in the backyard, Liu Youwei gestured to Xia An, bought some water, put it on a stool, and continued to watch the construction.

Xia An is talking to Zhang Chunmin on the phone.

Zhang Chunmin was in a car accident in Yanjing and fractured his left leg.

Xia An thought it was a self-torture tactic and asked him teasingly, "Isn't it to avoid Tang Tianxing?"

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Chunmin sighed and said honestly, "I came here to hide, but the car accident really wasn't the reason."

He said it was not worth it, not to mention that it would implicate a little girl.

A little girl in the other car also had a broken bone.

Xia An exclaimed, "Pay me the money."

Zhang Chunmin said embarrassedly that compensation must be paid.

"But it seems that this has prevented me from participating in a dance competition, and I have been crying in the hospital ward."

Before hanging up the phone, Zhang Chunmin asked whether it was necessary to hand over the Dongshan organization's personnel to Xia An during this period?

Want to withdraw? Xia An said that it’s not necessary for the time being.

"I will start school after next week, so controlling you remotely is more direct than contacting them.

"I wish you a speedy recovery. I'm not talking about your legs."

Zhang Chunmin realized that his little thoughts had been seen through at a glance. Three days later, he returned home with injuries and continued to supervise the execution of the mission.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Jiajia finally called Xia An, who was dressed in cement dust.

After asking for the address, I picked up Xia An and returned to the city.

in the car.

Looking at Xia An's clay monkey-like figure, Lin Jiajia, though quite tired, couldn't help but ask with a smile: "Part-time bricklayer?"

Xia An wiped her face with a wet towel and said, "That place just now was my shop."

Lin Jiajia asked in surprise: "Yours? Rented? Bought? What's it for?"

"Rent instead of buying, and keep it as a gathering place for Dongshan."

"Rent instead of buy? Gathering point?"

Lin Jiajia didn't understand either of these two words.

Xia An didn't explain much. Instead, he noticed that she was exhausted and pointed to the side of the road, saying, "Stop for a moment."

Lin Jiajia thought he was looking for a place to pee, but she didn't expect Xia An to walk to the driver's seat and pull her down.

"I drive. I got half my driver's license today."

Lin Jiajia was stunned for a moment and then burst out laughing.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Lin Jiajia took the initiative to talk about the visit she and the team had made to the home of the first project customer today.

Pancreatic cancer is in the late stage and is very painful. The family situation is not good and the children are unable to continue to bear the medical expenses.

After consultation between the Central Hospital and the Second Affiliated Hospital, they applied to their superiors and the two hospitals jointly allocated a sum of money, which was deposited into the project fund pool for the treatment of such patients.

Lin Jiajia said that Zhao Zhijing took the initiative to propose that the accounts should be open and transparent and supervised by people from all walks of life.

Xia An tapped the steering wheel with his fingers. This was something he had not expected.

It seems that Zhao Zhijing is a scholar who values reputation over profit. No wonder he is so easy to control.

He smiled, tilted his head and asked, "It didn't work out, did it?"

Lin Jiajia opened her eyes wide and asked, "How do you know?"

Xia An smiled and said, "The Charity Federation is the first to object, isn't it?"

Lin Jiajia nodded and said dejectedly, "It's really dark."

Xia An shook his head and said nothing.

During the conversation, neither of them realized that there was no barrier between them, but when they really thought about it, Lin Jiajia could not continue the conversation.

In the second half, she just stared at the road that was painted golden by the setting sun, and gradually approached the silhouettes of the tall buildings.

Xia An thoughtfully drove to Lin Jiajia's house, took the cosmetics from the back seat and said, "Take a look. Do you like it?"

Lin Jiajia opened it and took a look. She didn't show any happiness or unhappiness, but was puzzled: "Cosmetics?"

"Well, I don't know what brand you usually use, so I bought it blindly."

Lin Jiajia smoothed her hair, smiled sadly and said, "Yeah, at my age, if I don't use cosmetics to maintain my appearance, I'll get old very quickly."

"..."

Xia An never thought that Lin Jiajia could analyze the problem from such a unique perspective.

He swallowed subconsciously and changed the subject: "Actually, my mother bought it for you as a return gift, and sincerely invites you to cook at her home."

Lin Jiajia lowered her head and said nothing.

Xia An continued, "You know, I haven't eaten your cooking for quite a while."

Lin Jiajia took out the red bottle of lotion, looked at it, and ignored him.

Xia An said, "If you really don't want to go, forget it.

"Well, look at me, I'm so dirty...

"Since I'm here, I'll go take a shower. You can make two more side dishes..."

Lin Jiajia put the gift bag on her lap, said nothing, looked at Xia An deeply, blinking her eyes.

Xia An stopped talking.

Lin Jiajia sneered, nodded at the steering wheel and said, "Drive to your house."

When they arrived outside the Happy Home, Lin Jiajia sat in the driver's seat, said to Xia An, "Thank Sister Xiaofang for me," and left.

Sister Xiaofang?
Ouch.

……

Things are getting a little out of control.

The incidents of Sheng Tang Trade exploiting farmers and using rotten leafy vegetables to sell on supermarket shelves were reported on the evening news in several neighboring cities.

As we all know, rumors never make the news.

Two farmers and an employee of a Shengtang supermarket chain in Waifu reported the incident under their real names.

Tang Tianxing's second son Tang Guan has been acting a little mentally unstable recently, so he angrily summoned his eldest son Tang Mian, who was investigating the financial industry in London, to handle the crisis public relations and avoid making things worse.

……

On the morning of September 8th.

Zhang Chunmin placed a sinister-looking young man from another place in a Jintang Real Estate property as a night security guard.

I heard that this guy's last job was carrying corpses at the crematorium. His colleagues all kept their distance from him and forced him to patrol the underground parking lot.

When Zhang Chunmin sent a text message to Xia An saying "Done", Xia An was sitting with her legs crossed in the basement rental house of Zhang and Liu, holding a laptop.

12 o'clock noon.

The 15th FIBA Basketball World Championship kicked off simultaneously in Saitama, Hiroshima, Sapporo and Sendai, Japan.
