Early that morning, Wen Liang met Ren Yi when he entered the campus. I don't know if this guy had a cold. He was wearing a white mask on his mouth and a black baseball cap covering most of his face. If he hadn't greeted him, he might not have been recognized.
"Brother Ren, what's wrong?" Wen Liang walked around him and teased, "Did you get beaten up by Song Wan's father for harassing her?"
Ren Yi's eyes were filled with grief, and he said, "Brother Wen, don't bring up this topic. I'm telling you, if anyone mentions Song Wan to me now, I'll never forgive him!"
It seems that something is really wrong. Wen Liang put his arm around his shoulders and walked side by side to the teaching building. He said, "Yang Guo was able to masturbate alone for sixteen years in order to wait for Xiaolongnu. How long has it been for you? You can't hold on any longer? Brother Ren, it doesn't matter what a man has to do. The key is to last. Do you understand?"
"What's there to not understand?" Ren Yi sighed, "But you overlooked one point. Yang Duo is so awesome. His martial arts, inner strength, and swordsmanship, how many people in the world can compare to him? Why don't you try Zhao Zhijing instead? He'd be lucky if he can last a month!"
Well, you know what. Wen Liang remembered that he had read a masterpiece called Rebirth of Zhao Zhijing in his previous life. In that book, Old Zhao decisively counterattacked. So martial arts and the like are secondary. The key is that you must have the dream of counterattack. What if it comes true
"What happened? Did you have a fight with Song Wan?"
Ren Yi shook his head and said, "No, it was this midterm exam. I did very badly, more than a hundred points behind Song Wan..."
“Well, it’s about grades…” No wonder Wen Liang didn’t think about it that way. Who would have thought that the great hero Ren, such a free and easy-going person, would be so heartbroken over such a trivial matter as studying? The magic of love is really too great: “It’s just over a hundred points, it’s… it’s not too outrageous…”
Wen Liang was a little unable to continue with the words of comfort. You have to know that these days the total scores of the college entrance examination need to be weighted averaged at the end. The gap after the weighting of 100 points is so big that even if Yang came here, he would probably give up the sixteen years of waiting in despair.
Ren Yi hung his head, looking as listless as the stray dog outside the school gate that was bullied by wild cats every day. Wen Liang felt sympathy for him and said, "Rome was not built in a day. Similarly, a goddess can't be pursued in a day. If everything was so easy, why did our ancestors create the idiom 'unyielding'? Let's put it this way, tell us specifically which subjects have dragged down your scores. Learning should be done with scientific methods. Maybe if we find the root cause, we can cure it..."
Uncle Wen's level of ideological work is not to be underestimated. After a long and earnest speech, Ren Yi finally regained some spirit. He counted on his fingers and reported the scores of each subject. After reporting the scores, he analyzed which types of questions he had got wrong. At the end, he did not forget to look at Wen Liang with pitiful eyes, as if to say, if you don't help me, I will go and keep company with that stray dog tonight.
Wen Liang listened carefully, and after scientific calculations in his brain, he finally came to a conclusion and said word by word: "Brother Ren, you should sign up for a cram school!"
Ren Yi took off his mask, bit his thin lips, his long eyelashes trembled constantly, and a clear tear almost burst out. Wen Liang couldn't bear to look at it, but still advised: "Brother Ren, dreams are wonderful, but reality is cruel. Your previous foundation was too poor, just like wearing a tattered white board equipment, but trying to defeat the boss of the ultimate dungeon, how could it be easy? Failure is secondary, the key is the frustration and powerlessness brought by failure, which will quickly destroy your self-confidence, just like you are now, this is the biggest harm! Believe me, if you really want to fly with Song Wan, you must start from now on to study high school again, no, even junior high school things have to be chewed again, otherwise..."
What Wen Liang didn't say speaks for itself. Ren Yi is not a stubborn and rigid person. After thinking about it carefully, he knew that what he said made sense. A tall building is built from the ground up. If the foundation is not solid, everything will be in vain. He took a deep breath and said, "It's just a cram school, but here comes the problem..."
Wen Liang was startled, and almost thought that this person was also a time traveler. He said with a dark face: "If you dare to ask which excavator is the best, be careful or I will beat you to death with a hammer!"
"What excavator... I mean enrolling in cram school is not a problem, the problem is that I don't have money!"
Ren Yi's family was actually well-off, but his parents never paid much attention to his studies. They thought it didn't matter if he didn't get into college, and it was just right for him to learn how to do business with his family, which was better than studying hard. So it was expected that the extra tuition he had to pay for tutoring would not be paid back by his parents, or the effort he had to put into getting the money would be no less than the effort he would have to put in to get an extra 100 points on his next exam.
"Money is not a problem," Wen Liang said with a smile, "You go find a reliable cram school. The teachers must be at least top-notch. I don't have any other requirements, just that they know how to teach students to prepare for the exam. Then bring your receipts here and I'll reimburse you!"
Ren Yi was a filthy person, and he would not even blink an eye when he cooperated with Wen Liang to kill Liu Zhihe, or when he cooperated with Liu Zhihe to kill Wen Liang. However, he was very reluctant to have any financial dealings like this. He shook his head like the tail of a stray dog outside the school and said, "No, this is absolutely not possible. I would rather die than eat charity. We are brothers, and I can't waste your money. It's okay, I'll think of a way myself. If I can't get it, I'll just go find a job on a construction site!"
"You don't even have enough time to study, so where are you going to work? Besides, with your small body, you can't even outrun the city management if you set up a street stall. How long will it take you to earn enough money for the cram school?" Wen Liang said contemptuously, "Most importantly, I'm solemnly warning you, kid, I'm borrowing, do you understand? Borrowed money must be repaid, and you're dreaming of spending it for free! Not only do you have to pay back the principal, but you also have to pay the interest. When you get rich in the future, you have to pay me back with both the principal and interest."
Ren Yi knew that Wen Liang said this to save his face, but he really had no better way. The tuition fee was not a small amount, and pocket money was not enough. As for working, it was just talk. His level was poor to begin with, and it was not enough to spend all his time on studying. How could he spare the time to work? So the best way was to do as Wen Liang said, to borrow his money first to deal with the emergency.
Wen Liang patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be so formal with me. It's settled. Remember to get this done in the next two days. It's better to do it sooner rather than later!"
Ren Yi nodded, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "How much interest?"
"Three cents and two cents!"
"Damn, loan sharks! Brother Wen, you look innocent, how can you be so evil..."
Returning to the classroom, Huang Gang asked in surprise: "Chairman, why did you show up?"
Wen Liang said unhappily, "Can I come to class?"
"Okay, of course. You didn't even come for the midterm exam. Of course, class is more important than the exam, right?"
Because of family reasons, Huang Gang seldom jokes in the classroom, especially when she has a deskmate like Wen Liang, who is often nowhere to be seen, and there is no one to talk to. But whenever Wen Liang appears, she will definitely be more lively and cheerful than anyone else, because to her, Wen Liang is not just a deskmate, a classmate, a celebrity who many people in the school watch from afar, but also her friend, family member and teacher. She doesn't want Wen Liang to see her silent and sad side, but hopes that he will see that she is full of strength, happiness and sunny positive energy!
"You devilish girl!" Wen Liang cursed with a smile, and asked, "How did you do in the exam this time?"
"Here, this is the score," Huang Gang wrote "594" on the paper, proudly made an "eight" gesture, and said, "This is the ranking!"
"Oh my, that's incredible! I got eighth place in the class!"
Wen Liang was a little surprised. Although Huang Gang's grades were good, it was the first time he could be in the top ten of Class Six. You know, in a key high school like No. 1 Middle School, the probability of the top ten students in the class being admitted to a key undergraduate program has always been above 99%.
"That's right. Don't you see who I sit at the same table with? It's like saying 'the closer you are to the red, the more red you become!'"
Wen Liang couldn't help but laugh and said, "I didn't see the saying 'the closer you are to the red, the more you become red', but the saying 'the closer you are to the black, the more you become black' is quite similar!"
After sitting in the classroom obediently for the whole morning, when he went to the cafeteria for lunch at noon, Xu Yao waved and called him over from afar. Ning Xiaoning was also there. Wen Liang knew that a storm was about to come when he saw Xu Yao's face. He avoided the question and said, "Where's Ji Su? Don't form a clique and exclude others. It's not good..."
Xu Yao sneered: "Why, are you afraid that I will form a clique? Then why do you want to form a clique to exclude me?"
Wen Liang smiled apologetically and said, "Where did you get the idea from..."
"Let's start from yesterday," Xu Yao's eyes were red as she said, "My dad came home yesterday and told me that you didn't like me because I wasn't pretty enough and that's why you didn't let me participate in the commercial shoot!"
Wen Liang's eyes almost popped out. Wasn't Xu Fuyan just turning the tables? He asked, "Did Uncle Xu really say that?"
Xu Yao's eyes widened as she said, "How can it be fake? Tell me, what is wrong with me? Is it because my eyes are too small, my skin is too dark, or my legs are not long enough, or my breasts are not firm enough?"
Even the breasts were not firm enough. It seemed that the little girl was really pushed into a corner. Wen Liang came to the school specially today just to explain the matter to Xu Yao in person. He did not expect Xu Fuyan to be so unkind and put the blame on him. However, he was a high-ranking official, so he had to admit it. He said helplessly: "I swear to God, I really didn't think so..."
"real?"
Wen Liang raised his hand and swore, "Really!"
"Then I ask to rejoin the filming team..."
"this… "
Xu Yao was about to go berserk again, but Ning Xiaoning winked at Wen Liang and said, "The three of us have already discussed this and we need to work together. If Yaoyao doesn't want to join, Ji Su and I will join too. It's up to you!"
Wen Liang held his head in his hands. Xu Fuyan had spoken, and it was absolutely impossible not to obey. However, it was also a problem if he could not appease her. He said with a headache: "Okay, I'll think of a way."
Xu Yao and Ning Xiaoning looked at each other, and suddenly they clapped their hands happily and shouted, "Yeah, we succeeded!"
Wen Liang was a little dumbfounded and said, "You, you guys..."
"Silly boy, I'm not mad at you. I know it was my dad who did this, but you're scared to death of him. If I didn't scare you, would you agree to let me shoot the commercial? You'll definitely help him bully me, hehe!"
Wen Liang knocked his head on the table, stretched out his hands and pretended to be dead, saying: "You two might as well kill me!"
After laughing for a while, Wen Liang began to think about how to solve this thorny problem. At first, it was just for fun and to help the girls fulfill their idol-chasing dreams. After all, the opportunity to work with Andy Lau is not always available and it may only happen once in a lifetime. He just ignored Xu Fuyan's reaction.
Xu Fuyan is not such a conservative person. It is definitely not an insurmountable obstacle to let his daughter participate in the shooting of a healthy, green and beautiful advertisement. Even if some people gossip about it, it will not create much pressure. The most likely reason is that Wen Liang officially stood at the forefront of the three-day New Year's Day event and became the focus of everyone's attention, attracting countless people's attention. Because his age is completely disproportionate to his career achievements, this focus seems too dazzling, dazzling enough to affect ordinary people around him, and therefore Xu Fuyan decided to interfere with Xu Yao's participation in the advertisement shooting.
At this time, if you can keep a low profile, you should keep a low profile, so that no one will make a fuss about it! (To be continued)
