Song Sheng's return did not attract much attention in Class 8 except for the period during morning self-study.
New Year's Day is approaching, and most of the students in the class have been preparing programs these past two days, intending to surprise everyone and create a brand new image at the New Year's Day party.
After Guo Kunnan signed up for the crosstalk program, he called on Shan Kaiquan for a better performance.
Shan Kaiquan was a little reluctant. After knowing that Bai Yuxia had signed up for the dance program, he was ecstatic. He wanted to watch it so much.
So he didn't sign up for the New Year's Eve party. Of course, that was also because he didn't have any special talents.
He needed to conserve his energy so that he could enjoy Bai Yuxia's dance at the New Year's Eve party. That was the dance of the one he loved.
However, Guo Kunnan was his good brother and threatened to give him some food during meals, which made Shan Kaiquan take the bait. After evening study every day, Guo Kunnan would drag Shan Kaiquan to perform crosstalk in the dormitory.
In addition to performing crosstalk, Shan Kaiquan also pays attention to Song Sheng in class.
He still remembers the face he lost at the beginning of the school year, and he will make it up sooner or later.
Shan Kaiquan discovered that after coming back this time, Song Sheng became a little more honest. Although his eyes were still annoying sometimes, most of the time, Song Sheng was reading books and doing exercises, as if he was preparing for the final exam and wanted to get a good grade.
Shan Kaiquan expressed disdain, saying that Song Sheng did not look like a good student.
There was another thing that surprised Shan Kaiquan. Song Sheng had been drinking a lot of pure milk every day recently. He even brought a box of milk from home and put it in the classroom so that he could drink it whenever he had nothing to do.
The milk that Song Sheng drinks is of good quality. It is imported milk. The box is full of English symbols and looks very high-end.
Dan Kaiquan searched on the Internet and was shocked to find that the small box of milk that Song Sheng drank was worth almost ten yuan.
He originally thought that brand of milk was good and wanted to buy it for Bai Yuxia, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.
"Drink to death, you fat guy, you are so fat and yet you drink milk every day!"
Shan Kaiquan couldn't afford milk, so he cursed Song Sheng viciously.
Moreover, Song Sheng likes to pretend. In the middle of winter, when others drink hot milk, he just picks up the cold milk.
Once, when Shan Kaiquan was drinking hot porridge, he was met with Song Sheng's contemptuous eyes, which made him very unhappy.
Of course, there were also classmates in the class who were curious about what Song Sheng had been doing during the few months he disappeared. But one time, when Song Sheng was drinking milk, Shan Xiao ran to the back row to throw away the garbage.
Shan Xiao was concerned about Song Sheng and asked him if something happened at home.
What he got instead was Song Sheng's gloomy look, and he almost attacked Shan Xiao.
Shan Kaiquan sincerely spoke up for Shan Xiao.
Although Shan Xiao looks a bit foolish at ordinary times, he is actually a kind-hearted person. He was just asking about Song Sheng, but he was treated like that. Shan Kaiquan really felt sorry for Shan Xiao.
Afterwards, he found Shan Xiao and told him not to get involved with people like Song Sheng.
Shan Xiao glanced at Song Sheng in the back row and said nothing.
…
Thursday, 10pm.
Jiang Ning was sitting on a chair, holding a dark silver ring in his hand.
The ring is made entirely of stainless steel. At first glance, it looks like just a small steel ring, except for the bright silver cloud pattern engraved on its surface.
The pattern covers the entire ring, making it look more mysterious.
In fact, it is an array composed of "empty crystal silk", which makes this ordinary ring have the function of storing things.
Jiang Ning used his spiritual power to activate the ring, and with a light flick, a cell phone appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Then, Jiang Ning repeatedly put the phone into the ring and played with it for a while before he stopped.
Storage space was once his dream. In his previous life, he had no emotional fluctuations and didn’t think much of it. But now that he was holding it, he couldn’t let it go.
He swept his hand across the table and collected several jade bottles of elixirs.
The empty crystal thread that Jiang Ning picked up was of average quality, and the space inside it was only about three cubic meters in size.
For the time being, these spaces are enough for Jiang Ning to use. He does not have that many spirit stones, materials, magic tools, and miscellaneous items.
Now that he has a storage ring, Jiang Ning has achieved one of his goals. Now, he has more to think about. He plans to refine a puppet.
With his abilities, he can already control puppets remotely. As long as he refines a puppet, the puppet can do many things that are inconvenient for him to do.
Used to protect his relatives, or to protect magical herbs and medicines.
However, refining puppets requires a variety of materials, even more than the spirit wood boat, and it is not necessarily possible to collect all of them.
Jiang Ning thought so.
"Forget it, let's send the materials to Shao Shuangshuang first, and then we can collect as much as we can."
Jiang Ning planned this.
…
In the city center, in a residential area, on the sixteenth floor.
The air conditioner was on in the living room, making it warm. Lin Zida sat on the sofa, holding the control handle, staring at the 55-inch Sony TV without blinking.
On the big screen, a character who looks like an assassin is openly assassinating his target.
Lin Han, with delicate makeup, sat on the edge of the sofa, holding a rice fork and a salad plate, watching TV, then looking at Lin Zida who was concentrating.
"Fat Lin, is the game really that fun?"
Lin Zida was immersed in the game world and said indifferently:
"This is a PS4 console, the latest version of Assassin's Creed, how can it not be fun?"
After PS4 was released, Lin Zida bought one immediately. He was obsessed with playing the game because the graphics were so amazing!
It is so much better than PS3, it is definitely the next generation!
He will never play mobile games again, they are all rubbish.
At this time, a young girl came out of the bathroom. Her footsteps were very light, her skin was as smooth as a baby's, and her hair was loose, as if she had just taken a shower.
"Aunt, are you interested in games?"
Lin Han took a bite of salad and swallowed it with difficulty. She hated eating this food the most, but in order to maintain her figure, she didn't eat anything in the evening. She would feel too hungry if she didn't eat something, and skipping meals was harmful to her health.
"Who likes this crappy game? I just find it hilarious to watch him play it."
She changed the subject: "Shuyan, how are you doing in school these days? Are you used to it?"
She is usually busy with work. She has to attend endless meetings and deal with endless documents every day for investment matters. Recently, when she sleeps, she always dreams about the carefree days of her youth.
Looking at Ding Shuyan's age, she couldn't help but feel envious. Youth is priceless.
It's rare for Lin Han to have free time like today, so she fulfilled her responsibilities as a guardian and showed some concern for Ding Shuyan.
Ding Shuyan said: "It's okay."
Lin Zida added: "The students in Yuzhou are so wild. They fight more than us in Ancheng, and there are all kinds of weird things going on."
"The basketball in the class next door exploded, and it almost scared me to death!
Lin Han said, "That's how it is at No. 4 Middle School. You'll get used to it slowly."
She used to study at No. 4 Middle School, so she is very familiar with the culture there.
Lin Zida was playing a game and said, "Students at No. 4 Middle School like to play online games and mobile games. When I told them about the PS console, they had never heard of it.
"And you want me to play League of Legends."
"Speaking of which, there was a funny thing. Today, Jianhui asked me to play League of Legends, and a girl confessed to me on the way!"
Speaking of this, Lin Zida was so excited that he paused the game.
After witnessing this incident, he originally planned to tell Lin Han as soon as he got home, but Lin Han was not at home at first, so he went out to play games, and only now did he suddenly remember it.
"Hey, Xiaohui was confessed to by someone. Is it a girl in your class?" Lin Han asked.
No matter what, women love gossip, and what's more, this happened to someone she knew, so she was indeed a little curious.
"He's not from our class, but from Class 8 next door." When he said this, Lin Zida's expression looked a little strange.
"Oh, not the experimental class. Is that girl pretty?" Lin Han asked. She knew how handsome Zhuang Jianhui was. Most girls probably weren't worthy of him.
Lin Zida swung the handle, hesitant to speak, and then under Lin Han's cold eyes, he said hesitantly:
"That girl, it's not a question of whether she's pretty or not, she's just very strange, well, it's hard to describe."
Lin Zida looked at Lin Han timidly, then looked at Ding Shuyan, and said:
"She weighs about as much as the two of you combined. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Hehehe." Lin Han laughed out loud.
Even Ding Shuyan who was standing by couldn't help laughing.
"Xiao Hui is really..." Lin Han asked again: "Did he agree?"
"No, Jianhui was blocked by that girl at the stairs. He was so scared that he ran away, so I couldn't go home with him." Lin Zida complained.
Lin Han couldn't help laughing when he thought of that scene. Xiaohui was a proud man who loved to show off and care about his reputation, but he ended up being scared like that.
"Do you know who that girl is?" Lin Han asked.
Lin Zida actually went to inquire: "Her name is Pang Jiao."
…
"By the way, in the last exam, the top student in the grade was in Class 8, right?" Lin Han asked.
Although two months had passed since the exam for No. 4 Middle School, Lin Han had never actually cared about the results of Ding Shuyan and the others before.
Their grades are already good, and they are more sensible than students of the same age. They know the importance of studying and will not slack off.
It was at a drinking party the day before yesterday, and she happened to meet an aunt in charge of education. Shao Shuangshuang mentioned it, and after getting the report card, it turned out that Ding Shuyan actually ranked fourth in the monthly exam of No. 4 Middle School.
Lin Han probably knew that her niece must be hiding her abilities again this time. She was like this before in Ancheng and was usually very low-key.
Otherwise, based on the quality of students at No. 4 Middle School, Ding Shuyan would definitely be first.
"He is indeed in Class 8. He is a very powerful person." Ding Shuyan did not deny it.
Lin Han wanted to tease her, so he said deliberately:
"How amazing is that? Are my grades better than yours?"
After hearing what her aunt said, Ding Shuyan's expression actually became more serious: "Indeed, he is better than me."
When the results reach a certain level, the difference is not that big. For example, Du Chuan, who ranked second in the exam of No. 4 Middle School, was hired by No. 4 Middle School specifically to prepare for a good performance in the college entrance examination.
Such people are geniuses. Even if they are placed in the best middle school in Ancheng, they are among the top few students. If they perform normally, they can probably get into those two top prestigious schools.
Although Ding Shuyan is proud, she asks herself if this is the level she should have in the college entrance examination.
The key is the number one student in No. 4 Middle School, Xue Yuantong. She directly opened up a huge gap between them. Even if Ding Shuyan did not hide her shortcomings and tried her best in the exam, she still could not pass it.
So she was indeed a little convinced. She originally wanted to investigate Xue Yuantong. According to Ding Shuyan's previous habits, when she was in doubt, she would investigate thoroughly first.
But that day, she happened to see Xue Yuantong and Jiang Ning going home together, so she immediately cut off this idea.
She didn't dare to take the initiative to test it again. Once Jiang Ning found out, there would probably be no next time.
After Lin Han found out, he nodded and didn't take it to heart.
So what if you are good at studying? If you take a careful inventory, there are many people with good grades, but in the end, those who are the most powerful in their fields are not the so-called top scorers.
Just like Lin Han before, there were geniuses in the school. There were some students whose grades were so poor that even if she studied twenty-four hours a day, she could not catch up. She also felt frustrated.
Nowadays, those people have flowed into various fields, and those who have done well are studying for a doctorate in computer science and high-energy physics abroad.
After graduation, if you are lucky, you may be able to earn several million a year.
If you're unlucky, it'll only be a few hundred thousand.
Although a person's value cannot be measured simply by money, it is undeniable that money is the best way to measure it.
Lin Han had lived abroad for several years and had a broad vision. She knew best that in the international community, money was the most universal representative.
…
"Aunt, how's the progress over there?"
Ding Shuyan asked.
At this point, Lin Han pressed his temple and said:
"It's going very smoothly. Recently, a unicorn company emerged in Yuzhou."
When talking about this, Lin Han's face became much more serious.
Ding Shuyan: "Unicorn?"
Lin Han did not hide it. Although Ding Shuyan was young, she was smart and could tell her about these things.
As for Lin Zida who was playing games next to him, Lin Han simply ignored him because Fatty Lin was so engrossed in the game.
"The field of beauty and cosmetics, or more precisely, the field of hair growth," said Lin Han.
"Hair growth?" Ding Shuyan didn't pay much attention to this aspect.
"There is a company in Yuzhou that has launched a product called 'Evergreen Liquid', which is similar to hair conditioner, but the Evergreen Liquid is amazing. As long as you apply it on your head, you can grow hair. The effect is extremely terrifying."
If the project she is investing in now is about making money, then the Evergreen Liquid project is simply about printing money, which is terrifying.
Her team has analyzed that the overall profit of Changqing Liquid next year will be at least in the tens of billions.
Ding Shuyan didn't quite understand, but seeing how seriously Lin Han was analyzing, she asked, "Will that product have any side effects, such as added hormones?"
Lin Han said: "No, the power of Changqing Liquid lies in its formula. Conventional testing methods cannot analyze the drug ingredients at all, but it has such an effect."
"As far as I know, there is a biological company in South City that bought the long-term solution and took it back for testing immediately, but it turned out that nothing was detected."
There was one more thing Lin Han didn't say. Instead, several bald executives from that biological company used the product and praised it highly. They became die-hard fans of Changqing Liquid, and one of them even switched to Changqing Liquid Group.
Ding Shuyan said: "It's really amazing."
"That's right. Some of the preferential policies are much better than my project." Lin Han said.
Moreover, as far as she knew, the person in charge of that company was named Shao Shuangshuang.
Her love rival in high school, and also her defeated opponent.
When she first learned that the other party had opened a small pawn shop, she was a little complacent. However, just a few months later, the other party became the head of the promising Changqingye Group.
Much more glorious than her.
Lin Han felt a little frustrated. What kind of good luck could allow Shao Shuangshuang to rise to her current position
This is a bit too outrageous.
