Time flies and it is Saturday.
"I won't accompany you to the consulting company today. I have something else to do."
After morning exercise as usual, Xia Xu went out and walked with Xiao Baihua for a while before speaking.
"oh."
Tang Youxin nodded obediently and said "Oh", then went to the consulting company on her own.
Xia Xu hailed a taxi and took Atuo to Tianhai Building.
Chen Leyao had already rented a conference room in Tianhai Building and was waiting there. Today was the day agreed upon to sign the contract with China Overseas Investment.
Xia Xu, whose pockets were empty, also took this very seriously. Although it was still early for the agreed time of nine o'clock, Xia Xu rushed to Tianhai Building as soon as possible after parting with Xiao Baihua.
"Sister Le Yao, I'm here. Which conference room did you rent? Tell me... There's no need for you to pick me up. There's no need to go through all this formality. I can come up by myself..."
Arriving downstairs at Tianhai Building, Xia Xu called Chen Leyao to confirm the specific floor, then hung up and walked into the elevator.
"Excuse me, excuse me, please wait a moment, my wife just sprained her ankle, so I'm walking slowly."
A bald middle-aged man dressed like a successful person hurried forward a few steps to stop the elevator door that was about to close, while apologizing to the people in the elevator.
However, after the rush hour, there were not many people taking the elevator in Tianhai Building, and Xia Xu was actually the only one in the elevator at this time.
Xia Xu was not in a hurry, so he didn't mind it. Instead, he reached out and helped press the elevator door opening button so that the bald middle-aged man could go back to support his wife.
"Is that you?"
The bald middle-aged man obviously didn't realize Xia Xu's good intentions, but he seemed to recognize Xia Xu and smiled: "Little brother, we meet again. Do you work here?"
When Xia Xu heard the voice, he looked at the bald middle-aged man carefully in confusion.
Fortunately, his memory was very good, and the Mediterranean forehead of the bald middle-aged man was also very distinctive, so after a brief recollection, Xia Xu finally remembered the identity of this person.
We are not old acquaintances, we just met once.
I met him when I went to the dog training base to auction Atuo a month and a half ago. At that time, this bald middle-aged man had a sharp eye and saw that he was good at judging dogs, so he asked him to help pick a guide dog for his daughter.
"Yes, we meet again. It seems that we are really destined to be together."
Recalling this person's identity, Xia Xu nodded and smiled, and said jokingly: "How about the guide dog I picked for you last time? I didn't lie to you, did I?"
"No, no, how could you lie to me? If you didn't believe me, I wouldn't buy it."
The bald middle-aged man laughed heartily and said, "Young man, you have a unique vision. That dog is absolutely perfect. The people I hired to train it said it is the best guide dog. In fact, I got a great deal."
"That's good… "
Xia Xu nodded slightly.
As he was talking, the bald middle-aged man's wife limped over, complaining: "Lao Fang, don't you know to come and help me?"
The sound made Xia Xu pause slightly, and his attention, which had been on the bald middle-aged man, was attracted to the person who made the sound.
This voice sounds familiar.
When Xia Xu saw the face of the person who spoke, his cheeks twitched even more.
"Xia Xu? Why are you here?"
The bald middle-aged man's wife also saw Xia Xu in the elevator at this time.
And this person was none other than Xia Xu and his classmates’ class teacher, Liu Xiulan.
"Well, I'm here to work."
Xia Xu felt a little numb.
Although I don't feel afraid of teachers, I still feel a little stiff when I run into my head teacher in this private setting.
The main reason is that my identity is awkward and I don't know what attitude to adopt. It's not good to act distant, but it feels a bit too much to act too close.
But then again, his bald, middle-aged wife is actually the class teacher
Looking at Liu Xiulan's pretty face and figure, and then at the bald middle-aged man's bald fringe, Xia Xu could only say... maybe this is love.
This reminded him of a rumor that had always been going on in their class.
Generally speaking, Liu Xiulan was a very responsible and good teacher, but she had actually always been in poor health. Whenever a student made her angry, she would habitually use her own unique style of sarcastic admonition when she was in low or medium anger, but when she was really too angry, it would often turn into the usual sermons mixed with complaints.
Her most common refrain when complaining is: "My salary is not enough to cover my own medical expenses."
The main meaning of this sentence is actually that she is about to get sick because of some poor students, but there is also the factor that her physical condition is not very good, and she needs to take medicine for a long time to maintain her health.
But because of this sentence, there have been rumors in the class that Liu Xiulan actually married a wealthy husband. After all, if her salary is not enough to buy medicine, then there must be a source of money to buy medicine and maintain her life.
Of course, these were just rumors. Liu Xiulan did not show any signs of being wealthy in her daily life, and she was not much different from an ordinary teacher. Therefore, most of the time, they were just treated as a joke.
But now it seems that this rumor is obviously not groundless.
It can be seen from the last auction of eliminated dogs that this bald middle-aged man was willing to listen to a stranger like him without blinking an eye and spend 80,000 yuan in one go to buy a dog. He must be either rich or noble, but at least he has some assets.
“You come here to work?”
Liu Xiulan was just asking casually as a greeting, but after hearing Xia Xu's words, she was stunned and asked again in confusion.
Tianhai Building is a typical business office building, which is basically rented to large and small companies as office locations. There are no part-time jobs in this kind of place.
When Xia Xu was still studying, there was no way he could have anything to do with the work in Tianhai Building.
"I have a sister here, and she asked me to come and help."
Xia Xu also understood that in Liu Xiulan's impression, he was probably still a poor high school student with no relatives or friends. Not wanting to cause trouble, he simply found an excuse to go along with her.
After all, no one would believe that he could earn tens of millions in just two months. Even if others started from scratch, they would at least have some initial capital and a skill.
And what about him
To use Yang Bowen's image-defining jingle, his parents are both dead, he starts out in a shabby house, makes money entirely by offering rewards, and his worth skyrocketed in two weeks.
With such conditions, and for a high school student living in an ivory tower, this kind of thing sounds like a fantasy story if told to others. It would be hard for anyone to believe it even if I explain it to them, so it's better not to waste words on it.
However, it didn't take long for Xia Xu to regret his casual response...
When the elevator is closed by floor:
"Are you going to the sixteenth floor too?"
"Well, yes, what a coincidence."
This floor is full of meeting rooms that are temporarily rented out, and there are quite a few of them.
However, when I got out of the elevator and turned to the meeting room:
"Are you going this way too?"
"Forehead… "
At this point, Xia Xu already felt something was wrong. His cheek twitched slightly, and he leaned close to the bald middle-aged man's ear and said, "Brother, what's your name? What do you do? Can you give me a business card?"
"No problem, my name is Fang Dahai, this is your business card..."
The bald middle-aged man has been very curious since he learned that Xia Xu was actually his wife's student, but he did not have time to communicate with Liu Xiulan. When he heard Xia Xu talking to him, he smiled and took out a business card and handed it over.
Fang Dahai; General Manager of China Overseas Investment, Tel: 138********
"I knew it..."
Xia Xu, who had already vaguely anticipated this, felt like spitting out blood.
You have to know that Liu Xiulan has always been accommodating because of her original body's special family situation.
So now comes the question.
How should I explain to this head teacher later and make her believe that the poor students she had always thought of had made a comeback and seen their value skyrocket in a short period of time through their own unremitting efforts and talents
