Rebirth after the college entrance examination

Chapter 58 When We Talk About Loyalty
Xia An poked Lin Jiajia's butt with two fingers.

Lin Jiajia kicked him hard and asked him to walk in front.

When Xia An opened the door on the second floor, he kicked him in the calf again.

After a coquettish hum, her expression quickly changed, and she walked in first, greeting Xia Kangning and his wife with a smile.

"I ran into Xiao Xia'an, who was delivering Zuo You, at the train station, and brought him back."

She came to give Xia Kangning 100,000 yuan as investment fee.

Now that you're here, why don't you have a meal before leaving?
In the afternoon, Xia An talked to Zuo You about his family's plan to go into business with Zuo Dashu.

Zuo You also heard about it and she had no objection.

Apart from her parents, Xia An's family of three are the people she trusts most in the world.

She was very happy to have Uncle Xia and Aunt Wei helping her father run the restaurant.

Zuo You also teasingly told Xia An that before he woke up from his nap at noon, Zuo Dashu called and said that he would come back early in a few days.

"Are you worried that my dad will go to Binhai to find you and spank you?"

Xia An snorted and said, "What did I do?"

Zuo You frowned and pretended to be angry: "You didn't do it?"

Xia An also prepared the groundwork for Zuo You regarding Lin Jiajia's plan to invest in the company.

Xiao Youzi knew this "Auntie Lin" and said with a smile: There is strength in numbers.

Lin Jiajia was helping Wei Xiaofang heat up the food in the kitchen. While Xia Kangning was leaning over the coffee table writing a receipt, Xia An slipped into the bedroom and took a look at the odds.

I hit all six games today.

The more than 600,000 yuan that Xiao Youzi took away was returned in an instant.

He decided to go to school in Binhai tomorrow to apply for a local bank card and withdraw the cash after the finals on the 4th.

Anyway, I don’t need to spend any money these days.

While eating, Lin Jiajia and Xia Kangning chatted with each other.

Xia An heard her say that Zhao Zhijing's daughter seemed to be in the hospital, and she didn't know why.

Lin Jiajia also said that she would drive Xia An and his family of three to the train station the next morning.

Xia An touched her feet in a frivolous manner under the table.

Lin Jiajia stepped on it and crushed it hard.

Xia An came back late today, so naturally they had a farewell dinner late as well.

At the same time, brothers Zhang Tiancheng and Liu Youwei were also eating skewers on the roadside.

In the past few days, the two vice presidents, programmers, decoration supervisors and Internet troll leaders, who each hold 0.5% of the shares of "Guolan Technology", are really exhausted.

Knowing that their boss Xia would start university tomorrow, the two brothers had planned to prepare a farewell banquet in the evening, but changed their minds and gave up.

What kind of family is that? They must value that more.

The smart vice presidents chose not to disturb her and only sent text messages wishing Xia An a safe journey and academic success.

And we solemnly promise: we will never slack off in our tasks and ensure efficiency in our work.

After drinking two bottles of ice-cold beer, Liu Youwei stood up and ordered four more skewers of kidneys.

With their pockets fuller, the two brothers were no longer embarrassed when ordering food and became much more generous.

Liu Youwei knew that Zhang Tiancheng had been helping Xia An with the dirty water matters recently.

But he followed the decoration team during the day and took over the task of optimizing microblogs and video websites from Zhang Tiancheng at night, so he didn't ask too many questions.

It was a rare day of leisure, so he asked Zhang Tiancheng, "What does the boss mean by asking you to take a break for a few days? Have you finished it yet?"

Starting this afternoon, the Tang Group's public relations team went out in force to send letters to various local forums and media companies in the province.

They said they were ready to call the police to deal with the online "false accusations."

Any website or newspaper that publishes or reprints the content is subject to prosecution.

After Xia An received the news, he ordered Zhang Tiancheng to let the "teams" rest for a few days.

Let public opinion ferment and let the firewood in the province burn thoroughly before moving on to the next step.

Zhang Tiancheng clinked his bottle with him, shook his head and said, "A technical timeout."

Liu Youwei: “???”

He wanted to ask again, but Zhang Tiancheng took a sip of his wine and said first, "Do you know what Boss Xia is doing?"

Liu Youwei didn't understand why he asked that, so he nodded and said, "Isn't it to throw dirty water on the Tang Group?"

Zhang Tiancheng asked again: "Why do you want to splash it?"

Liu Youwei chuckled and said, "How many people in the entire Donghai Province are not annoyed by Tang Tianxing?"
Zhang Tiancheng took off a whole bunch of meat from the bamboo skewer.

There was oil all over the corners of his mouth, he wiped it randomly and tapped the table with his fingers.

With an expression that said, "Your understanding is too superficial," he lowered his voice and said to Liu Youwei:

"Based on the information I've recently gathered, the boss's attack on the Sheng Tang trade supply chain was both ruthless and accurate.

"But it doesn't seem like they're planning to knock Tang Tianxing down all at once."

Liu Youwei asked: "How do you explain it?"

Zhang Tiancheng said, "Do you remember the guy I saw in the office the other day when you asked me to help you carry the plywood?"

Liu Youwei nodded.

Zhang Tiancheng said, "The guy who drove the Crown and directed people to stack the light boxes in the backyard, I saw a photo online. He's Zhang Chunmin, the CEO of Jin Tang Real Estate."

After saying that, Zhang Tiancheng smacked his lips.

Liu Youwei took a deep breath. Although he still didn't understand, he had already realized: The boss of a real estate company came to run errands for his own boss?

Liu Youwei opened his mouth wide and asked softly, "What are they going to do?"

Zhang Tiancheng straightened his back and whispered proudly, "In my opinion, the boss is planning to take advantage of the Tang Group's listing and make a fortune from it."

As he spoke, he also made a fist movement.

Liu Youwei was even more shocked. He had heard rumors that once Tang Group became the first main board listed company in the province, its market value would likely quickly exceed 10 billion yuan.

Dig out a piece of meat? How fat is that?
"The boss is so young, yet he has such skills and ambitions..." Liu Youwei muttered in a daze.

Zhang Tiancheng echoed, "Well, Lao Liu, I've made up my mind. From now on, I'll be absolutely loyal to Boss Xiao Xia. I'm counting on him for buying me a car, building a house back home, and getting me married!"

Liu Youwei was amused by his words and came back to his senses, sneering.

"Is that all you have? I was planning to follow Boss Xia to ring the bell!"

……

The clock on the TV rang, and it was time for the ten-thirty evening news.

After helping Wei Xiaofang wash the dishes, Lin Jiajia picked up her bag and said goodbye.

Xia An sent her to the car.

Before they parted, Lin Jiajia looked at him deeply, without saying a word.

Xia An smiled and said, "After I go to Binhai, you must come and accompany them often."

Lin Jiajia asked: "What do you mean?"

Xia An: "What do you mean?"

Lin Jiajia brushed her hair, shook her head helplessly, and started the car. "Xia An, have you contacted Tang Wan in the past two days?"

She asked from the window, and Xia An nodded at her.

Except for today, yesterday and the day before yesterday, we are in contact almost every day.

Just no more than five text messages.

Not only did Xia An contact the flower shop, he also found the phone number of the flower shop on the BBS of Binhai University.

He remitted three hundred yuan and asked the boss's wife to send three sunflowers to Tang Wan every three days.

7.5 yuan for spending money and 5 yuan for running errands. Renew the money after it’s used up.

Tang Xiaowan is very happy.

Lin Jiajia said, "Did you know that Tang Wan went to the hospital yesterday?"

While Xia An was stunned, Lin Jiajia laughed, left a word, stepped on the accelerator and left.

"Xia An, you can't be the emperor."

Looking at the taillights of the Corolla, Xia An frowned and called Tang Wan.

After asking, I found out that Tang Wan had been on IV drip for two days.

It’s not a fever or a cold, nor is it a serious illness. It’s a severe...allergy to cat hair.

There was another heavy rain in Binhai half a month ago.

Tang Xiaowan was writing a report until midnight that night and was extremely hungry.

Go out in the rain to buy food.

On the way back, I met a cat that had fallen into the water in the stairwell.

Small and thin, hiding in the corner and meowing.

To the cat, Tang Wan was a shining saint and a bodhisattva who saved people from suffering.

She left two sausages and a piece of bread for the cat.

For three consecutive days, the cat waited at the door of the building for Tang Wan to appear.

Reciprocity.

It gave Tang Wan beautiful pieces of glass, exquisite plastic bags, and delicious dead mice.

Tang Wan didn't like these gifts very much and confiscated them.

Tang Wan, who has developed the habit of carrying delicious food with her since she was a child, always feeds the cat some snacks every time.

From that day on, the cat stopped bringing gifts to Tang Wan.

It seemed to discover that the woman kept the lamp lit until dawn every night.

It guessed that she was afraid of the dark.

So he climbed along the pipes of the old building to the window of Tang Wan's bedroom, guarded her every night, and left at dawn.

While Tang Wan was writing an academic report at the desk, it lay outside with its hands in its pockets, sleeping behind the glass.

Three days ago, Tang Wan opened the screen window and invited it into the house.

Give it a bath, feed it, take it to get vaccinated, and buy a litter box.

Tang Wan was very happy to have a guest in her house, and was so excited that she couldn't sleep the whole night.

Itching, redness, and rashes all over the body.

Upon examination, it was found that cat hair was her severe allergen.

When Tang Wan returned home that day, she wore gloves and a mask to feed the cat and clean its poop.

After just two times, the cat seemed to understand something.

Yesterday morning, it took advantage of Tang Wan opening the door to go to school and ran out, and no matter how Tang Wan chased it, it would not stop.

It ran downstairs, and Tang Wan watched it crawl back along the pipe and lie down outside her bedroom window.

Tang Wan went upstairs and opened the window, but no matter how she called it, it refused to come in.

Xia An asked her on the phone: "What about now?"

Tang Wan sighed, "I'm here now too. I'll send you a MMS message later."

Xia An said, "What a loyal little fellow, he's guarding you."

Tang Wan paused and asked, "What about you?"

Xia An said, "I'll be with you too. See you tomorrow."

Tang Wan seemed to have thought of something and smiled.

"Xia An, if you see me tomorrow, don't be afraid."

August 2006, 8, 24: a.m.

Lin Jiajia drove Xia Kangning and his family of three to Dongshan Railway Station in the provincial capital.

At 7:40, the three of them escorted Xia An to the platform.

Wei Xiaofang wanted to speak, but couldn't, and was pulled aside by Lin Jiajia, choking with sobs.

Xia Kangning helped his son carry three large luggage bags and a large suitcase into the car.

Patting his son on the shoulder, he straightened the non-existent buttons on his crew neck T-shirt.

"Don't worry, family. When you get there, study hard and get along well with your classmates."

"From the moment the train leaves, you'll be an adult."

"Mom and Dad haven't been very capable in their lives, and we don't expect you to be very capable in the future."

"Xia An, you must remember three things."

“Be a good person, be a good person, do good deeds, and be true to your conscience.”

Whoosh, whoosh, the train starts moving.

Xia An waved to Lin Jiajia and to Xia Kangning who was standing upright.

Waving to the mother who was in tears.

When the scenery outside the window changed from high-rise buildings to endless rice fields, Xia An suddenly understood what his father had just said.

Young boys and girls are loyal to love.

Workers are loyal to money and beauty.

Cats are loyal and repay favors.

In fact, everyone is just loyal to their own desires.

The coast is right in front of you.

A new chapter of four years has begun.

University is filled with all the desires that represent youth style.

Boiling, warm and gorgeous.

And short-lived.

　Four chapters, 9900 words. Aside from the second chapter being a bit watery, I don't think I've done anything wrong.
