Huayu 1995

Chapter 183 I don't know if I can hold on (Seeking monthly votes)
Thor sat on the side, leaning against the car window, and turned to look at Su Chao, who was one seat away from her.

I thought he would shamelessly twist the line.

I didn't expect him to be so honest.

However, the kid didn't close his eyes, and he didn't look drunk at all.

It was definitely an act.

"Sis, give the gift to Su Chao."

Little Red Riding Hood's voice broke the silence inside the car.

"what gift?"

Su Chao was still wondering why Thor and Little Red Riding Hood hadn't given him any gifts today.

I've been eyeing that Martin D-28 for a long time.

"No gift!"

Thor shifted slightly, finding a more comfortable position.

“I clearly saw you take it; my gift was in that bag.”

This personality...

Little Red Riding Hood felt that her sister was too difficult to deal with.

"Oh well, no gift is no gift. Anyway... it's just my birthday. Today is my first birthday. It's not common to celebrate birthdays where I'm from. I never thought it would be so nice..."

Su Chao hugged his arms and shrank back.

"Your acting is really bad. You still want to be an actor? The threshold for this industry is really low."

Despite saying that, Thor still tossed the two boxes from the back seat to Su Chao.

A small tape recorder.

It would be more accurate to call it a Walkman, or a small tape recorder. It's very portable and can be used to play cassette tapes.

Su Chao's Walkman belonged to Huang Bo.

He later bought Huang Bo a new one, but since the old one was still usable, he didn't replace it.

I never expected Thor to be so understanding.

He may appear indifferent on the surface, but he is actually always paying attention to his every move.

"That was bought by Qingqing."

Seeing how much Su Chao loved it, Thor couldn't resist wanting to kick him.

"Ah, thank you, Qingqing!"

Su Chao coughed twice, "Sorry, my touching was too indecent."

I thought it was a gift from Thor.

This portable music player looks expensive, and it even comes with a pair of headphones that look expensive as well.

“You’re a singer-songwriter now, so you need a good Walkman. I asked my sister what she gave you, but she won’t tell me. She’s much richer than me.”

Little Red Riding Hood was very unhappy with her sister.

"Thank you, Qingqing~"

Su Chao thanked him and opened the second bag.

"A watch, a Rolex!"

Su Chao was taken aback; the small lights inside the car were barely visible, and the flickering streetlights offered little illumination.

But he still saw the Rolex logo.

I was just joking about Rolex last time, and I never expected that he would actually give me a Rolex today.

Su Chao subconsciously suspected that this was a counterfeit product from the South.

However, considering Thor's wealthy background and the fact that his uncle does business in Hong Kong, this speculation was quickly dismissed.

Holy crap, this is the real thing!
Su Chao once owned a Rolex in his previous life. He was obsessed with vintage items and bought a 90s Rolex GMT-Master II with a Coke bezel. Back then, the bezel was made of aluminum, not ceramic, so the black and red bezel has started to fade.

This thing must cost at least 30,000 to 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, right?
Thor's sister, what do you mean by this?!

Giving such an expensive gift...

Are you finally going to kill me?
Wow, sis, you're really generous!

Little Red Riding Hood clicked her tongue. She usually asked for several thousand yuan in pocket money, but her sister would always hesitate and dawdle.

The gifts given to Su Chao often cost tens of thousands of yuan.

He even said he had no feelings for her.

"Sis, can I return a Rolex? This watch on my wrist was bought for me by my buddies who chipped in to buy it for me. I swear I'll wear it forever to witness our friendship."

Su Chao didn't like this feeling.

This woman is too domineering.

If they were to hug, Su Chao would prefer Thor to lean against his chest, rather than him leaning against Thor's chest.

This is a matter of family status.

Hmm... leaning against Thor's chest doesn't seem so bad.

"Forget about calculating, just give it to me."

Thor isn't going to put up with this kid.

"Yes, yes, yes, those guys definitely won't mind if I get a better watch."

Su Chao still couldn't hold on.

Sigh, if I had known, I would have bought Thor a Rolex when we went to Hong Kong.

They exchanged Rolex watches.

Isn't this like a declaration of love?

We're still poor. If we had a few hundred thousand yuan, what's a few tens of thousands of yuan for a gift?

After buying two songs from Lin Xi, Su Chao didn't even have 10,000 yuan left, so where would he get the money to buy a Rolex?

“I didn’t buy this watch specifically for you. Someone asked me to bring it back from Hong Kong last year, but their business in the north ran into trouble and they couldn’t keep it.”

Thor knew that giving gifts like this would cause misunderstandings, so he lazily offered an explanation.

"Then aren't you at a huge loss, sis?"

Su Chao didn't care where the watch came from; it was a gift from Thor anyway.

"It's nothing," Thor shook his head nonchalantly, then asked, "Since I gave you something, shouldn't you reciprocate?"

"Table...represents?"

Su Chao was shocked.

His mind immediately began to play out the scene.

The wealthy woman gave him an expensive watch and asked the young man if he should reciprocate. The young man immediately leaned over and kissed the wealthy woman obsequiously.

The rich woman pushed the young man down and then mounted him...

"Lin Zhiqing has nothing to do at home on the weekend, so let her go to your academic tutoring class for extra lessons."

Thor didn't give Su Chao any time to make a move.

Su Chao missed his chance.

Then I heard this request.

"Sis, what do you mean I have nothing to do? I even help you watch the shop!"

Little Red Riding Hood was very angry.

The consequence... was just a couple of protests.

It's not serious at all.

"You're so annoying. Go to class. If you don't get into university next year, you can go pick up trash."

Thor breathed a sigh of relief.

The academic tutoring class is held on Saturdays and Sundays, so Lin Zhiqing can attend classes seven days a week.

"I refuse to accept this!" Little Red Riding Hood protested repeatedly.

Fortunately, she drove quite cautiously, and the car continued to move smoothly and slowly through the night.

“The training center looks like a lot of fun. Your sister goes there to take classes too. Just think of it as a trip for fun.”

Su Chao broke free from his regret and smoothed things over for the two sisters.

But in his heart, he thought to himself, "Thor is indeed cold-blooded and ruthless."

My own sister, and she actually finds it annoying.

Don't give it to me!
I'll be her brother-in-law!

"That's okay..."

Little Red Riding Hood thought about it and realized that it made sense; she could also make many new friends.

The car arrived at the entrance of the courtyard very quickly.

Su Chao got out of the car somewhat reluctantly, reminding the two to drive safely.

Opening the gate to the courtyard, Su Chao was greeted by another banquet.

"Sis, they're having a good time over there too."

Little Red Riding Hood had already started the car, but she still saw the candlelight in the yard.

"go home!"

Thor was too lazy to even sit up, let alone take a second look.

"Sis, is Su Chao trying to pursue you?"

Little Red Riding Hood started gossiping.

"It's not my business?"

Thor glared at Little Red Riding Hood, who was driving.

This girl is only a few years old, yet she's always talking about love and romance. If I could find a cure for love-struck brains, I'd definitely give her two bottles.

Unfortunately, Little Red Riding Hood was driving, so she couldn't see her glaring eyes.

"Sis, I think Su Chao is pretty good. If you're interested in him, you can give it a try. You've never dated anyone, so how do you know he's not good?"

Little Red Riding Hood was chattering away in front of him.

They talked the whole way.

When she got home, she found that her sister had fallen asleep sometime earlier.

Meanwhile, Gao Yuanyuan also returned home.

"Yuanyuan, why are you back today?"

The person who opened the door was Gao Yuanyuan's brother; they were siblings.

"Brother, you're back! Are Dad and Mom both here?"

Gao Yuanyuan peeked inside.

"Why did you suddenly come back? Did something happen?"

Gao Yuanyuan's parents also hurriedly got dressed and came out.

"I just came back to visit."

Gao Yuanyuan knew she had gone a bit too far; it was already past eleven o'clock.

"Have you eaten? Mom will get you something to eat."

Gao Yuanyuan's family lives in Fengtai, which is a bit out of the way, outside the Fifth Ring Road. Her parents are both working, and their living environment is very good.

The house used to have two bedrooms and two living rooms, but now it has been divided into three bedrooms.

Gao Yuanyuan is living in a much better place than Zhang Ziyi; at least she has her own room.

"Mom, I'll just have a bowl of noodles."

Gao Yuanyuan sat down, thinking about how to tell her parents about shooting the advertisement.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Running home so late at night, it's impossible for nothing to happen to you.

Their home is more than 20 kilometers away from the school, and they usually live on campus, only returning home on weekends.

"Dad~" Gao Yuanyuan took advantage of being her little darling, grabbed her father's arm, shook it, and asked, "Someone asked me to shoot an advertisement, what do you think?"

"no!"

Her father refused without hesitation. How could shooting commercials be a respectable profession?

Although his daughter wasn't a top student, he still hoped she could find a respectable job.

Gao Yuanyuan is currently studying secretarial studies at a vocational high school.

These days, vocational high school diplomas are still quite valuable; graduates don't have to worry about finding jobs.

"Is it like the kind you see on TV? Oh my, I told you my daughter is pretty!"

Her mother was beaming with pride as she cooked noodles.

"Who asked you to shoot an ad? Are they a scammer?"

The older brother, who had just started working, was more open-minded and had no prejudice against the advertising industry, but he valued more whether the company was legitimate or not.

Being a secretary isn't much better than shooting commercials.

"They're not scammers. They have real work. Hey, your coconut tree, no, your coconut tree, that's the one they filmed."

Gao Yuanyuan quickly said.

If you can't convince your dad, you can ask your brother to help you persuade him.

"I know that ad, but how can I prove they filmed it?"

The older brother was also worried about his younger sister.

“This cassette tape… take a look, isn’t it the same person as in the advertisement? This person is a model from their advertising agency.”

Gao Yuanyuan took out the cassette tape.

"Be careful then."

Her brother took it and looked at it; it was indeed correct, but that didn't mean it was completely accurate.

There are so many scammers out there these days.

"Why are you shooting commercials? Can't you just find a regular job?"

Dad was ignored, and he was very angry.

"Hey, you old fogey! This is the era of market economy now. Didn't you hear Dayong say that job assignments will be abolished next year? What if you can't find a job? This is also a way out."

Mom waved her spoon as she expressed her opinion.

"Starting next year, universities will gradually stop assigning jobs. Once my younger sister graduates, there may be no more job placement guarantees."

What's more, my younger sister is only attending a vocational high school.

"Then you can transfer to a four-year university and continue your studies. It's not like we can't afford it."

My father has his own principles.

The couple earns a decent income, their son has started working, and their daughter goes to school wherever she can get a job.

“They said that shooting commercials wouldn’t interfere with my schooling, and that it wouldn’t be mandatory. They would only arrange work for me with my consent. Dad, that really is a great company.”

Gao Yuanyuan saw that the whole family was softening.

I quickly put in more effort.

"Where did you meet the people from the advertising agency?"

Her brother suddenly asked a question.

"At the bookstore, my classmate and I went to buy books and then we ran into people from the advertising company."

Gao Yuanyuan cleverly avoided mentioning the karaoke bar.

Otherwise, she would be dead.
