Rebirth of the Millennial: Getting Rich After Parents Get Laid Off

Chapter 179 I will definitely go
"Well, let me see. If the work schedule isn't too tight at that time, I'll call and let you know."

Wu Fangyi smiled warmly.

She knew perfectly well that Shen Qingqing's words about helping and forming a team were all meant to take care of her feelings.

I didn't want her to feel sorry for her having nowhere to go during the Chinese New Year; I just wanted to invite a friend to hang out on an ordinary day.

However, this kind of rhetoric was too childish for Wu Fangyi, who often worked odd jobs.

You can understand it without having to think about it too much.

However, she didn't feel embarrassed or ashamed at all; she just didn't want to stay at her aunt's house or her biological parents' house.

She preferred making money to those two homes.

But now, there's another place she's willing to go, and she's even looking forward to it, so it's not impossible.

“Okay, call me and I’ll come pick you up with my dad.” Shen Qingqing finished packing her schoolbag with a bright smile and stood up. “Let’s go find my sister and brother. They’ve almost finished class. Let’s go to the cafeteria for lunch.”

Because all the classrooms in the junior high school were still sealed off as exam rooms, Shen Yangyang and Shen Hong went back to their classrooms after lunch. Some of the junior high school students, such as Shen Qingqing, went to the auditorium, while others stayed in the cafeteria for a lunch break.

The afternoon subject was purely memorization-based political science.

Subjects that require memorization are not difficult for Shen Qingqing. She just needs to read the question carefully and select the corresponding knowledge points to answer.

Everyone has the same knowledge base; the competition comes down to the speed of memorization and the speed of answering questions.

By the end, everyone would start to shake their hands after writing a few lines because their arms were really sore.

After the exam, everyone's face showed the same exhaustion and numbness.

The reason is simple: I'm too tired.

Half an hour later, the junior high school exam room was to be completely cleared out. It was still before the elementary and kindergarten students were dismissed. Shen Qingqing and Wu Fangyi went to the convenience store and each bought a pork leg. They ate it while chatting and waiting for the two younger students to get out of school.

"Sister Fangyi, which high school do you want to go to?" Shen Qingqing took a couple of breaths to cool down the small piece of ribs in her mouth, chewing as she asked Wu Fangyi.

Wu Fangyi wasn't afraid of getting burned, because sometimes she was in a rush while working and couldn't pay attention to it. Over time, she got used to it: "I'll definitely go to Jinzhong! I'm confident that I can get into Jinzhong. Jinzhong is also a boarding school. But it might not be convenient to work on weekends. The location is in the mountains and it's quite far from the city. So I'll definitely have to save enough for tuition and living expenses by the end of junior high."

Shen Qingqing frowned: "Would your parents refuse to pay your high school tuition?"

"It's hard to say. My older sister is a junior in high school this year, and she has to take the college entrance exam in a year. She'll need money for college too, and it's hard to say whether she'll even have time to pay my tuition then," Wu Fangyi said nonchalantly.

"Before my cousin was born, my aunt's side would give me some money. After my cousin was born, they would at most keep me from starving and give me a few hundred yuan for tuition and fees during compulsory education. It was definitely impossible for her to get more." Shen Qingqing had only seen cases like Wu Fangyi's in the news or novels in her previous life, but she had never actually encountered such a real-life example, and it was standing right in front of her, talking to her about these things without taking them seriously at all.

"You're really amazing..." Shen Qingqing looked up at Wu Fangyi and exclaimed sincerely.

As Wu Fangyi stuffed the last bite of chicken leg into her mouth, she heard what she said, turned around in surprise, pointed at herself in confusion, and asked, "Me, amazing? Amazing at what?"

Shen Qingqing nodded very solemnly: "Yes, you are amazing!"

"You can ignore them completely and focus on your own survival and growth."

At this point, Shen Qingqing paused for a moment and asked her, "Do you know? When I skipped a grade to fourth grade, Lin Ziyang kept talking to me about how I treated him badly and how we didn't get along."

Wu Fangyi nodded: "It's obvious without even thinking that he says this to everyone who gets close to him, so most people believe him."

"Then do you know why I didn't write to you?" Shen Qingqing asked her with a smug smirk.

Wu Fangyi was taken aback; she genuinely didn't know this, and honestly shook her head.

"Because when you refused Teacher Lin's offer to be class monitor, you said you wanted to study harder. Your expression at the time was so serious that it made me feel like every word you said was a responsibility for your own life. So I was thinking, how could someone who speaks with such power be the kind of person Lin Ziyang described as someone who loves to tattle and frame him?" Shen Qingqing was so busy talking that the third of the pork rib she had left in her hand was getting cold, so she quickly stuffed it into her mouth.

“But you were so cold back then, so cold that I didn’t dare to be friends with you.” Shen Qingqing chewed the food in her mouth with effort. “Later, I felt that it would be too strange for me to suddenly go to you and say that we should be friends after being classmates for so long, so I kept putting it off until the beginning of this semester.”

Wu Fangyi was taken aback by this situation and couldn't help but laugh: "I thought you believed what that idiot Lin Ziyang said!"

"Tsk!" Shen Qingqing clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction: "You said he was just a fool talking. If I still believe him, wouldn't I be a fool too!"

Wu Fangyi laughed even harder: "Yes, yes, of course our little genius Qingqing isn't stupid!"

Shen Qingqing closed her eyes. "Don't call me that nickname!"

The nickname "Little Genius Qingqing" accompanied Shen Qingqing throughout her entire elementary school life. Whenever Shen Qingqing heard this nickname, she would get goosebumps all over her body and feel so uncomfortable that she wanted to cut off her meridians on the spot.

She had originally thought that once she got to the junior high school in Anlu Town, no one would know about this nickname anymore. She never expected to hear it from Wu Fangyi's mouth so suddenly, and she was completely stunned.

You should know that Wu Fangyi had never called him that nickname before, so she thought Wu Fangyi didn't know it!
The two of them walked around the playground, laughing and joking, until finally it was time for the elementary school and kindergarten to let out.

Before parting, Shen Qingqing earnestly said to Wu Fangyi, "Come stay at my house the night before New Year's Eve and spend New Year's Eve with my family. My mother has been saying for a long time that she wants you to come to our house for dinner."

This time, Wu Fangyi gave a positive answer: "Okay, I will definitely go."
