"Little Xin, don't worry, I can handle this issue. Never again entertain the thought of dropping out. Focus on your studies, aim for a top university, and make our village proud!" Wang Xiaoqiang suppressed the fire qi in his heart, offering Jiang Xiaoxin comfort and encouragent.
"Brother Qiang, I've actually considered dropping out, not just because of Yao Zhihao's harassnt, but also..." Jiang Xiaoxin said weakly, afraid to continue.
"What else is it? Is it a financial problem at ho? If it's about money, I can help you..."
"You're too kind, Brother Qiang, but money isn't the issue. It's because of you..." Jiang Xiaoxin said, biting her lip.
At her words, Wang Xiaoqiang's heart pounded fiercely: "Because of ?!"
Jiang Xiaoxin looked steadily at Wang Xiaoqiang and nodded, "Brother Qiang, when you were still in school, we went together. I didn't have these thoughts then, but ever since you dropped out, I've felt so alone, as if studying had lost its aning..."
The more Wang Xiaoqiang heard, the more shocked he beca. Could she, could she like ?!
Jiang Xiaoxin continued timidly, her eyes reddening as she spoke lowly: "Of course, there's another important reason. I've realized that it's tough to find a job after graduating from university. Studying isn't the only way out, nor is it the best. Brother Qiang, I want to drop out early and start a business, just like you..."
Though Jiang Xiaoxin's final words were outrageous, they greatly relieved Wang Xiaoqiang. If she had considered dropping out solely because of him, then he would have felt trendously guilty. Knowing that once a student falls for soone and contemplates dropping out, their studies can quickly beco neglected and go to waste.
After listening to Jiang Xiaoxin, Wang Xiaoqiang spoke solemnly: "Little Xin, your words have shocked and angered . I must advise you not to think about dropping out. You might see so success in what I've done and want to start a business like , but success is unique to each person and can't be replicated. Don't throw away a promising future.
Even if you want to start a business, you should wait until after you finish university. By then, you'll have the knowledge and maturity to succeed no matter what you do. Trust ..."
"Brother Qiang, I..." Jiang Xiaoxin tried to speak but hesitated, eventually finding the courage: "I want to work at your chicken farm. Sister Gui Fang can be the deputy manager, and my education isn't worse than hers. I'm sure I can handle it..."
Wang Xiaoqiang was taken aback by Jiang Xiaoxin's naive words and then, very decisively, said, "Little Xin, I believe you have that capability, but I won't hire you, not even as an ordinary worker. You shouldn't be thinking about this now..."
"Why?"
"No particular reason, just that you're still young and your family is well-off. Don't waste your bright future. If you really want to help , let's talk after you graduate from university..."
Jiang Xiaoxin fell silent, looking dazed.
"Do you understand?" Wang Xiaoqiang nearly bellowed in frustration.
"Mhmm!" Jiang Xiaoxin nodded obediently.
Wang Xiaoqiang was familiar with Huagui County Town. He drove effortlessly and parked his car opposite the entrance of Huagui's key high school. There, he saw students coming and going in twos and threes. The long weekend for the Children's Day holiday had just ended, and students who lived far away were returning to school.
One individual with red hair who appeared young enough to be a student but was dressed more like a street delinquent squatted under the large scholar tree at the school gate, smoking. With a cigarette dangling from his lips, he sized up the students entering and exiting the grounds.
Two other tall and sturdy figures, also with flamboyant dyed hair and cigarettes in their mouths, loitered beside him, exuding an air of nonchalance.
These two individuals, evidently in their twenties, seed to be little hooligans from society at large.
As soon as Jiang Xiaoxin caught sight of the red-haired man smoking while squatting on the ground, she imdiately displayed a look of fear and disgust interwoven together, pointing at him and saying, "Brother Qiang, that's Yao Zhihao."
Wang Xiaoqiang looked over and imdiately clenched his teeth, saying, "What's he squatting there for? Are those two people with him students?"
"Those two aren't from our school, they might be thugs from society. Last week, when I left school, Yao Zhihao threatened , saying I should go ho and think it over, either befriend him or stop studying in Huagui County Town, or else he wouldn't let off... He, he might be lying in wait for now..."
"In broad daylight, what can he do, is there no law anymore?" Wang Xiaoqiang found it unbelievable.
"I heard Yao Zhihao's uncle works at the Public Security Brigade, he usually does bad things by using people from society, and if sothing happens, his uncle sorts it out..." Yao Zhihao was a well-known figure in various major middle schools of the county, with the nickna Little Overlord; his affairs weren't secret, and naturally, Jiang Xiaoxin had also heard so about them.
"He's got so nerve!" Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Let's go, teach him a lesson!"
"Little Qiang, there, there are three of them, maybe we shouldn't resolve it this way..." Jiang Xiaoxin said anxiously.
"It's fine, there's surveillance at the school entrance. As long as I don't strike first, there won't be any problems." Wang Xiaoqiang had already noticed the large surveillance cara at the school entrance.
Jiang Xiaoxin was worried that Wang Xiaoqiang couldn't defeat Yao Zhihao and his gang and hoped he could resolve the issue another way, but she was surprised to find that Wang Xiaoqiang had already thought of an escape plan.
But Jiang Xiaoxin still had concerns, "Little Qiang, it's still better not to fight. If it ends up at the police station, you will be at a disadvantage..."
"I want it to end up at the police station, the best would be taking it to the Public Security Bureau!" Wang Xiaoqiang said with a look of disdain.
"Alright, Little Xin, let's go," Wang Xiaoqiang said, then opened the car door and hopped out.
Jiang Xiaoxin was still afraid, but since Wang Xiaoqiang had gotten out of the car, she had no choice but to get out as well, following Wang Xiaoqiang towards the school gate.
Yao Zhihao squatting under the big locust tree was waiting for Jiang Xiaoxin. Everyone promoted Jiang Xiaoxin as the belle of the county's key high school, but Yao Zhihao felt that Jiang Xiaoxin was one of the beautiest girls in all six middle schools of the county, and Jiang Xiaoxin's spirit-like appearance and well-developed figure often kept him up at night.
So this ti, he didn't mind the cost, he spent silver, hosted guests at the grand hotel, and called all his friends from society. If Jiang Xiaoxin didn't show up, it would be fine, but if she did, Yao Zhihao was determined to have her today.
When Jiang Xiaoxin appeared in Yao Zhihao's field of view, his face drew a wicked and triumphant smile, and he imdiately stood up, feigning innocence, "Little Xin, you've co, have you thought it over... "
As he spoke, he walked over to grab Jiang Xiaoxin's hand. After all, this was the school entrance, it's better to be soft if it can be. In his mind, if Jiang Xiaoxin ca to school, she must have co around; otherwise, she would be there to transfer to another school.
Jiang Xiaoxin shook off his hand, twisting her hand behind Wang Xiaoqiang's back.
It was then that Yao Zhihao noticed the young guy of similar age to Jiang Xiaoxin by her side. His face turned, and he pointed at Wang Xiaoqiang saying, "You, who the hell are you?"
"I'm your worst nightmare!" Wang Xiaoqiang retorted to Yao Zhihao directly.
