Having received Lady Xue’s reply, Yang Xiaozhi was overjoyed.
"Oh, Mom, I’ve partnered with my cousin to open a store, so I won’t be going out to work anymore. Please, no more nagging about it."
Upon hearing this, Lady Xue’s expression instantly changed from sunny to overcast. "Didn’t I tell you not to open a store? You snuck around and opened one behind my back? You’ve grown up and think you’re capable now, is that it? Tell , where did the money co from? Did you take out an online loan? I told you, if you get involved with online loans, I’ll disown you. Now get out of my house this instant!"
As Xue Yuanxia spoke, she picked up a broom, ready to sweep Yang Xiaozhi out the door.
Definitely his real mom. She really wasn’t afraid to use that broom.
"Mom, Mom! I started it with my cousin. No, that’s not right. It’s my cousin’s business; I’m just working for him."
Xue Yuanxia glanced at him. "Xue Yang is going to school, not to be a boss. Don’t even think about deceiving ."
With that, she swung the broom down once more.
Yang Xiaozhi ran while explaining, "Everything I’m saying is true! If you don’t believe , you can ask Uncle. I’m sure he provided the startup funds."
Xue Yuanxia’s movents ca to a halt. If her brother had given him the money, then the story made sense. After all, Xue Yang was their family’s only child. Since he had been admitted to Yanbei University, the city, his school, and the village had all awarded him a considerable sum of money.
Thinking of this, she felt a pang of bitterness. They hadn’t started on the sa foot, so why had things turned out this way?
"Anyway, I’m developing my career at ho this year. Give the money to sign up for my driver’s license," Yang Xiaozhi said, holding out his hand.
"You can’t even pay for your own driver’s license without asking your mother for money, yet you lie to about opening a store."
Xue Yuanxia turned and went to her room to grab a few thousand yuan for Yang Xiaozhi. "This is just for the registration. Don’t waste it."
"I know, I won’t waste it."
With money in hand, Yang Xiaozhi cheerfully went to pick up Tony.
The first mont he saw Tony, Yang Xiaozhi was stunned.
This foreigner was incredibly tall and handso.
He was also very talkative. On the way, he did most of the talking, giving Yang Xiaozhi little chance to interject.
「That evening.」
Yang Xiaozhi called Xue Yang to report on the day’s work.
"Cousin, I’ve bought all the land around the repair shop just as you wanted. Tony has also checked out the site. He said it’s a bit remote, but otherwise fine."
"No worries. In a year or two, there will be a new highway exit there, which will naturally bring in more traffic."
"I already discussed that with him. He said it wouldn’t be a problem and that he’s going back to his country in a few days to handle the application process. So of the funds for building our 4S store will co from the headquarters."
Xue Yang raised an eyebrow. That was unexpected. "Good. You’ve worked hard, Cousin."
Yang Xiaozhi scratched his head. "It was no trouble. I just went with him and didn’t really do anything else."
Compared to working in a factory, this job was a breeze.
"By the way, Cousin, I’ve signed up for my driver’s license test, so I’ll be able to drive soon."
"Good. Study hard and try to get your license within a month."
"Yeah, I’ll work hard."
After hanging up the phone in high spirits, Yang Xiaozhi suddenly felt that sothing was amiss. He’s the older brother, so why is he so happy to receive praise from Xue Yang? What is going on?
「Ti flew by, and soon it was the day before school started.」
The population of University Town suddenly swelled. The campus was teeming with people, and you couldn’t walk three steps without running into a familiar classmate.
"Happy New Year!"
"You’ve gotten even prettier after the holiday!"
"How did you get so fat?"
"You look like you got a tan."
"..."
"I was ho for a month and just laid around the whole ti. I feel like a useless lump."
"That’s nice. I didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly at ho for fear of setting my mother off and getting another lecture."
"I had it worse. The mont I got ho, I beca the family’s workhorse. My sister-in-law had the baby, but I was the one with postpartum depression. It brings tears to my eyes just talking about it."
"..."
After organizing her luggage, Chen Ying sent a ssage to Wu Xiaoya.
"Xiao Ya, I’m at school. Where are you?"
"I’m at work."
"Where do you work? I’ll co find you."
"No, I’ll be in big trouble if I get caught."
"Okay then, what ti do you get off work?"
"Five."
Chen Ying glanced at the ti on her phone: 3:15 PM. Five o’clock wasn’t too far off.
"Then I’ll wait for you in the dorm. I’ll co et you when you’re getting off work."
"Okay."
After putting down her phone, Wu Xiaoya breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked up and saw Xue Yang sitting in the boss’s chair in the middle of the office, typing intently on his keyboard as if completely imrsed in his work.
They say a man is most handso when he’s focused on his work, and Xue Yang is the perfect embodint of that saying.
Taking a deep breath, Wu Xiaoya buried herself in her work.
She had only been working there for a few days, but her impression of Xue Yang had already deepened. He is truly amazing; she’d never seen soone so young manage two companies simultaneously. It completely shattered her perception of what a freshman could be. She thought back to what she was doing during her own freshman year. Besides attending classes, she would just go back to her dorm, visit the library, or go out shopping, occasionally catching up on gossip or reading novels. She had assud everyone’s college experience was like that, but in reality, it wasn’t.
Xue Yang was suddenly standing in front of Wu Xiaoya’s desk. "Xiao Ya, co with to Trendy Apparel," he said.
Wu Xiaoya was a bit startled. "Right now?"
"Yeah, let’s go."
Wu Xiaoya quickly packed up her things and sent a ssage to Chen Ying, "I might have to work late tonight. Don’t wait up for ."
Receiving the ssage from Wu Xiaoya, Chen Ying lay on her bed, bored to death.
One of my roommates arrived only to disappear sowhere. The other two haven’t shown up yet. I was bored at ho, and now I’m bored at school too.
"Might as well play so King’s Ga."
Thinking this, Chen Ying took out her phone again and logged into her King’s Ga account.
Having not played in a while, she received a bunch of invites as soon as she logged in.
Chen Ying ignored them all and started a solo queue.
"It’s so boring playing alone."
"And now I’ve run into a couple—why am I so unlucky?"
After one ga, Chen Ying’s spirits were crushed.
"They weren’t here to play; they were just flaunting their relationship."
"Can’t they flaunt their love sowhere else? Why do they have to do it in a ga?"
Although she won the ga in the end, it felt worse than a loss.
At that mont, her other two roommates ca back, carrying their luggage.
Hearing the sound, Su Jinfeng asked without even putting down her luggage, "Ying Ying, you play this ga too?"
Li Zhaodi followed closely behind her.
Xue Yang had seen these two before. He would encounter them many tis in the future when he ca to visit Chen Ying. In fact, he would end up seeing them more often than he saw Chen Ying herself.
"Yeah. It’s new. I got bored over the New Year’s break and tried it out."
"I heard King’s Ga is holding a competition during the sumr vacation. The champion team gets a prize of a hundred thousand yuan!"
Chen Ying’s eyes widened with surprise. "That much?"
Was this Xue Yang’s idea? The ga probably hasn’t even earned that much money yet, and he’s already planning to give away a hundred thousand yuan.
