The final exam at Qingshi No. 1 Middle School lasts for two days. The results will be released one week after the exam, and then you can go on winter vacation. During this week, according to the school's tradition, there is a literary competition to be held.
The literary competition is scheduled for Monday, and there are still three days of preparation time after the exam. This time is said to be used for preparation, but in fact there is not much time for students to sprint. The student union has to be busy with registration, filling out forms, and arranging events. The school also has to invite experts and media from the province. It only has three days to prepare. This year is a big event. Even if you have experience in previous years, you will be busy this year.
But no matter how busy she is, it's still the school's business. As a sponsor, Xia Shao just shows up that day and prepares a speech. Speeches came easily to her, and there was no need to prepare manuscripts. Therefore, compared to the school, student union and students participating in competitions, Xia Shao can be considered very leisurely.
On the night after the exam, Liu Xianxian, who had been bored for a long time, came back to life with full blood and took the people in the dormitory to go out to school to have a good time.
Seeing that the Chinese New Year was coming, the military region was also busy with matters, and Xu Tianyin couldn't get away until the weekend, so the meeting between the two had to be postponed. Xia Shao accompanied the sisters in the dormitory and celebrated in the hotel that night to express their gratitude for the hard work of reviewing their homework these days.
During the dinner, what was a bit surprising was that Liu Xianxian actually planned to sign up for the literary competition.
"Why haven't I heard you say that in the dormitory before? I've learned to keep it a secret." Xia Shao smiled.
Liu Xianxian rolled his eyes at her and raised the beer can in his hand. "It was decided on the spur of the moment. Who asked you to be the sponsor? I don't need this relationship in vain! I didn't sign up before because it was useless. It was said to be a literary competition. , you can count the number of students who win awards every year, not only the student union but also the student union! Those people have already said hello to the school. If they have obtained the provincial literary certificate for three consecutive years in the school, they are eligible to compete for the two prizes recommended to Beijing University every year. There is a quota. Otherwise, why do you think those parents attach so much importance to this kind of literary competition? Huh! In this society, where is the relationship? I didn’t have this relationship before, but now there is a girl like you? "
Hu Jiayi frowned when she heard this, "I persuaded you to sign up before, why didn't you sign up? I told you that just sign up, and my family will tell the school for you. You refused at that time, but now because Shaozi is the sponsor, Changed your mind? After a long time of quarrel, do you think my family can’t help you? "
Hu Jiayi frowned, looking a little anxious, with a hurt expression of distrust.
Miao Yan noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere, and looked at the two of them carefully, then looked at Xia Shao for help.
Xia Shao laughed, "Ruihai Group is a well-known enterprise in the garment industry in China and the leader in the province's garment industry. If Mr. Hu just says hello to the school, how can it not work? But say hello to the school and say hello to those expert judges. , how can you not spend money? Xianxian doesn’t want Mr. Hu to spend money. It’s different for me. I am the sponsor. All the expenses for this cultural event are paid by me. If I say a word, Hu will naturally not be needed. Just spend that money to manage relationships with all parties."
As Xia Shao spoke, she took a deep look at Liu Xianxian. This girl was usually aloof, but she was thoughtful and affectionate. She didn't want Hu Jiayi's family to spend money. After all, she was not the only one fighting for relationships. In the end, it would inevitably turn into a fight for money. She didn't sign up because she didn't want Hu Jiayi's family to spend money on her.
But now I know that she is the chairman of the Huaxia Group and sponsors the school's literary competition. This relationship is stronger than the parents in the student union. Moreover, all the expenses of the expert judges during the competition are paid for by the Huaxia Group. Xia Shao said The words can be used by those parents even if they arrange a few luxurious banquets. Only then did Liu Xianxian change her mind. In her words, this relationship is in vain if it is not used. What a waste!
Liu Xianxian drank the beer in the can in one gulp, hooked Xia Shaozi, and raised her eyes to glare at Hu Jiayi, "You should learn from Shaozi. With your powers of observation, I suspect that your breasts have been squeezed out!" "
Hu Jiayi originally felt a little guilty and a little moved because she wrongly blamed Liu Xianxian, but when she heard her words, she couldn't help but feel guilty and moved. She blushed and bit her lip and was about to stand up and slap her, "Who cares for you to have an affair with me?" ! You are afraid that my dad will spend money, you can tell me! I have a lot of pocket money, and you also have a lot of pocket money. Let’s put it together and it will be enough. Besides, Shaozi’s money is not money. Now? Can you please stop taking it so naturally?"
"You're stupid! Before this girl revealed her identity to us, she promised to help sponsor the school. That's why I said it's not for nothing. Her money has already been spent, so there's no need to waste this relationship!"
Hu Jiayi stopped talking and looked at her with her mouth pouted.
Xia Shao smiled, "Okay. However, you must have real ability. As long as your talent truly surpasses the rest, I guarantee that no one can take away the honor you deserve."
"That's natural! I, Liu Xianxian, am also somewhat arrogant. I'm not the kind of person who only relies on connections! If I'm not as skilled as others, I won't say anything. I won't be surprised if this award is given to me for free! But if I'm inferior in skills, I won't say anything. Heroes, no one can take away what belongs to me, that’s it!” Liu Xianxian raised his neck.
Xia Shao nodded after hearing this. She could guarantee this, "Let us know which competition you want to participate in."
"Do you even need to ask? If you don't have to dance, how can I compete in wrestling?"
Xia Shao glanced at Liu Xianxian and said, "There are many types of dance, classical, ballet, modern, ethnic, and national standard. Not every school has competition events. Are there any that you are good at?"
"National standard! Latin dance! How about it?" Liu Xianxian glanced at the three of them.
Among the three, she is the only one who is the best at dancing. The Latin project is indeed set up in this literary competition. In this case, the three of them will naturally not object.
After dinner, I originally thought that because of Liu Xianxian's temperament, she would take the three of them to a disco for a night of fun on the pretext of practicing dancing. The school's martial law has not yet been lifted, and they are trying to take advantage of this literary competition to save some reputation and positive news. At this juncture, bed checks are even stricter, so Xia Shao naturally does not recommend that Liu Xianxian commits a crime at this time and leaves a legacy for the school. It won't do her any good to leave a bad impression.
Xia Shao was ready to persuade her, but Liu Xianxian seemed to have changed her temper tonight. She didn't say a word about going to make trouble. After dinner, she took the three of them back to the dormitory, and even said that she wanted to go to bed early. , get up early tomorrow morning and go to the student union to register.
Xia Shao could tell that she attached great importance to this competition, and she didn't even attach such great importance to the final exam. She couldn't help but smile. No matter what the reason was, it was always a good thing for this girl to have something she wanted to take seriously.
On the way back to school, Hu Jiayi quietly came up behind her and whispered quickly into Xia Shao's ear: "Xianxian's mother used to be a dancer."
Xia Shao glanced at Hu Jiayi and lowered her eyes slightly.
After Hu Jiayi said that, she stepped aside and pretended to walk beside Xia Shao, as if nothing happened. This is a matter for immortals, and she also knows that it is not easy to say anything without her consent. But she hopes to let Shaozi know about this matter. At the very least, let her know that immortality is not a child's play mentality. In this case, it may help her win awards.
Xia Shao could naturally guess Hu Jiayi's thoughts. She glanced at Hu Jiayi and Liu Xianxian, feeling a little envious. You are lucky to have such friends in your life.
After returning to the dormitory, Liu Xianxian went to bed early as expected. When she woke up the next morning, while Xia Shao was still meditating, this girl actually bought breakfast. It was rare for her to be so diligent and conscious, and the four of them had breakfast together. We arrived at the entrance of the student union early.
The four of us arrived early, and there weren’t many people queuing up yet. As soon as Xia Shao appeared in the corridor, the students all fell silent and looked at her.
During this time, another rumor about Xia Shao spread in the school. This time it was not about being a stooge, being kept, or beating up the student union. The rumor was that she was actually the director of Huaxia Group that the principal mentioned when school started. long!
Whether this rumor is true or false, no one can tell. The time when the Huaxia Group's report had a great response in the society was after Christmas. It was already the weekend and students were in school. It was under martial law and they had to ask for leave when going out of school during non-weekends. Therefore, most people I didn’t see the huge number of newspapers and magazines outside the school flying all over the place.
Students paid little attention to financial newspapers and magazines, and by the time the rumors spread, and if anyone thought about looking for them, the streets would already be full of treasure-appraisal programs that have become very popular recently. Moreover, this period of time coincides with the final exam and is an important time to prepare for the annual literary competition. Even if you cannot win the first prize, getting a second or third prize certificate will be an extra point for the college entrance examination. Therefore, regardless of whether he has connections in his family or not, the students are working hard.
Their attention turned to other places. As for the rumors about Xia Shao, the students in the school just gathered together to make inferences when they saw her. I met her in the corridor of the student union early this morning. The students looked at her quietly, especially the people in the student union. After seeing Xia Shao, they were stunned, with a tangled and weird expression. I don't know whether it was scruples or fear. There were a few The girl stepped back unconsciously, staying away from her, and kept glancing into the student union.
As we all know, Xia Shao had a grudge with the student union. On the night she beat the student union at the school gate, she once told the student union not to appear around her, otherwise they would all have to go to the hospital!
Today she came by herself.
What's going on
As soon as Xia Shaocai arrived in the corridor of the student union, the atmosphere became like this. Miao Yan, who was following behind, lowered her head a little nervously. Hu Jiayi held her beside her and encouraged her. Liu Xianxian walked towards the student union with her head held high and her chest held high, while Xia Shao also walked leisurely.
The four people entered the student union, and the room immediately became quiet. Registration forms and classified registration items were distributed behind each table.
When Xia Shao walked in, Cheng Ming, Yan Danqi and the cadres of the student union all looked up from behind the table. Since the fight at the school gate last time, the student union has indeed never caused any trouble for Xia Shao. Rather than saying that he didn't cause any trouble for her, it's better to say that he didn't even meet her in person.
From that day on, whenever Xia Shao was out of school for business, the student union would be notified by the Academic Affairs Office that there was no need to check the school today. In this way, the opportunity for the two groups of people to meet is avoided, and friction will naturally be reduced.
Hearing the news about Xia Shao again, it was related to the Huaxia Group. Although it had not been confirmed by her, the news alone was enough to shock the student union.
Student Council President Cheng Ming looked at Xia Shao with complicated eyes. From the shock when he saw her at the school gate at the beginning of the term, to the anger when he heard the rumors that she was being kept, to the fear when the fight happened in the school, and now seeing her again She already has a hundred kinds of tastes, tangled and complicated.
If she was really the chairman of Huaxia Group, he could understand why she had never looked at him directly from the beginning to the present.
It's not like he didn't call home and ask his parents, but there are people with the same name in the world, right? Cheng Ming could only comfort himself in this way.
The moment Yan Danqi saw Xia Shao come in, her face was covered with a layer of frost, but the look in her lowered eyes was not calm.
Xia Shao ignored the looks of people around her. She walked directly to a table and said, "Is this a registration form? I want one."
When she said this, everyone was stunned—she wanted to sign up? If she were the chairman of Huaxia Group, would she still need to sign up for the literary competition
Is it possible that the rumors are false
The student union cadres and the registered students all had this question in their minds.
The director of the Literature and Art Department standing next to Yan Danqi smiled. She looked like she breathed a sigh of relief. Her voice was not loud, but she could hear it clearly in the quiet room. "What rumors? It's true. Some people only deserve to be dangdang." A magic stick, or a sugar daddy, or a chairman? A joke."
Regarding these words, Yan Danqi lowered his eyes and said nothing. She is not a fool. If she is not the chairman of Huaxia Group, how can she explain that the school leaders have given her so many conveniences? Whenever she is out of school, the student union is not allowed to appear at the school gate. She has been in the student union for two years and has never heard of such a thing!
The room was quiet, and everyone looked at Xia Shao, waiting for her reaction to this statement. But she had no reaction, as if she didn't hear anything. Her expression was indifferent and her demeanor was leisurely. She turned around and thrust the registration form into the hands of Liu Xianxian, who had an angry look on her face. "Go, fill out the form."
Although the words were spoken lightly, the atmosphere in the room changed dramatically in an instant!
Doesn't she want to sign up
Then, then... what is the rumor...
The expression of the Minister of Literature and Art became the fastest, and it changed in an instant - What, she guessed wrong
Yan Danqi frowned and lowered his eyes, the look in his eyes changed. Sure enough, you were right not to speak just now.
At this time, Xia Shao had already accompanied Liu Xianxian to sit down at an empty table in the distance and began to fill out the form. Many students who had signed up came to the corridor one after another. When they saw Xia Shao inside, most people gathered around the door and did not come in. They stuck their heads in to look in and started talking.
It didn’t take long to fill out the form, it was just a matter of posting a photo and registering for an entry. The school stipulates that one person can apply for up to two events. Liu Xianxian applied for Latin dance and folk dance, filled in the repertoire, and then handed it over to the Minister of Literature and Art who had just sarcastically muttered.
Liu Xianxian slapped the registration form on the table with a bad attitude. The other party's expression changed, and there was obvious anger in his eyes. He took the watch, glanced at it, and handed it to Yan Danqi, "Dancing type."
Yan Danqi took it and looked at it. The Minister of Literature and Art was also staring at the watch, with an angry look in his eyes - why are you so arrogant? Ever since Xia Shao came to school, has the student union lost any dignity? Submit the form? snort! The watches were handed in, but they were not kept well over the years, and some were lost.
This year’s event is a big one. There are more events registered than in previous years, and there are also more people. It’s normal to lose one or two forms, right? Don’t think that you can be arrogant just because you are roommates with the chairman of Huaxia Group! Besides, it’s hard for her to tell!
So what? The registration form went through many steps from the student union to the school leaders and then to the judges. Even if one or two were lost, no one can blame the student union! Even if she were the chairman of Huaxia Group, she would still suffer the loss of being dumb! Moreover, if Xia Shao is really the chairman of Huaxia Group as rumored by the outside world, and suffers such a dumb loss at his own hands, wouldn't it be quite satisfying
The Minister of Literature and Art looked at the registration form in Yan Danqi's hand, his eyes flashed, his anger faded, and he revealed a somewhat proud smile.
Just as she was immersed in the happy heart of her imagination, a delicate white hand stretched out.
She was startled and looked up suddenly. Xia Shao was already holding the student union ID card on her chest.
"what are you doing!"
"Xu Yuan." Xia Shao's eyes fell on her work permit, she raised her eyes and smiled, "I have handed over Liu Xianxian's registration form to you. Please ensure that there will be no problems with this registration form. If there is any problem with it, I will I’ll hold you accountable.”
Xia Shao smiled lightly, but Xu Yuan was shocked! This smile was neither cold nor hot, but it seemed as if he had seen through her intentions.
How does she know what she is thinking
Xia Shao was too lazy to say anything. If she couldn't even see through her little thoughts, Huaxia Group should close its doors as soon as possible and stop getting involved in the intrigues in the mall. The reason why she accompanied Liu Xianxian to fill out the form today was because of recent rumors in the school that Liu Xianxian and she were roommates. There was no guarantee that these people from the student union would not use their evil intentions against her. It seems that she really looked at them correctly.
After returning the work permit to Xu Yuan, Xia Shao turned around and walked out of the student union with Liu Xianxian and the others. It wasn't until her figure disappeared that the corridor exploded.
What did she just say? If something goes wrong with the registration form, will she hold the Minister of Literature and Art Xu Yuan responsible? Why should she hold Xu Yuan accountable? Is it possible that she is really the chairman of Huaxia Group
This rumor could only be revealed on the day of the literary competition. There were still three days before the competition. In order to concentrate on dancing, Liu Xianxian went to a dance club in the city center and rented a dance hall to practice. Hu Jiayi and Miao Yan accompanied her there. Xia Shao, on the other hand, has company matters to be busy with.
Shengxing Group had just been annexed. It turned out that the senior executives left behind in Shengxing Group and the managers assigned to various places had experienced the huge changes in the company, so they naturally needed to be appeased. After taking over Shengxing, Xia Shao discovered that among the senior executives of the original Shengxing Group, there were many relatives of the Wang family and relatives of various shareholders. Second-generation dudes occupied the title of manager and were not paid for free. There are also office workers.
Now, the shares of the Wang family and other shareholders are in the hands of Huaxia. Without the support of these people, they are naturally panic-stricken.
Xia Shao didn't want to keep these people, but when it came to laying off employees, she couldn't just let them go based on her own preferences. She could only adopt a method that convinced the company's employees. She first conducted an assessment of various departments in the company, and announced that talents would be selected regardless of relative or distance. The results of the assessment are transparently announced, and dandies and executives without talent are laid off without hesitation. Promote talented people and place them in suitable positions. As for those Wangs who were related to the original shareholders, some of them showed their talents in the assessment, and the company rearranged positions according to their abilities. Most of these people have mediocre abilities, their positions have been much lower than before, and their psychological gap is huge.
These people were used to having a lot of fun in the company. They had high positions and high salaries. They were in charge of people but did not do anything. Everything was left to the people below. Now that they are transferred, although it is a position that suits their respective abilities, how can there be no psychological gap? Not to mention that the salary has been reduced, the power has been lost, and even the face has been lost, right
Sure enough, those who couldn't bear it resigned within a few days, and the company naturally agreed happily. But there are a few who can endure it. Even if they are transferred from important positions, they can still endure it and plan to just hang around.
Xia Shao didn't care about such people for the time being. The company had just made personnel changes. Although it was highly supported by employees who had no relevant backgrounds, after the personnel changes, it always took a period of stability to stabilize people's hearts. Then take your time and deal with the less urgent matters.
Now for Xia Shao, another important thing is to meet with the former managers of Shengxing Group's antique shops across the country. These people have changed to a young boss. Some admire, some are skeptical, some are on the sidelines, and some are on the sidelines. Not a small opinion. Xia Shao gathered these people at the headquarters of Huaxia Group and held a long meeting to appease, establish authority and stabilize people's hearts.
These things are easy to say, but very laborious to do. None of these people are older than Xia Shao and have more experience in the industry than her. It is impossible to convince these people who have never met her, respect her, and follow her without showing some real skills in person. In addition to Xia Shao's eye for antique appraisal, which shocked everyone, Xia Shao's conversation, demeanor, and conversation skills must be mastered in the process of appeasing and establishing authority. On the surface, she was calm and leisurely, but after two days of meetings at the company, she was really tired.
But no matter how busy and tired she was, Xia Shao always cleared up her time on Saturday night because she had to meet Xu Tianyin that evening.
Xu Tianyin drove to the door of the Huaxia Group building to pick up Xia Shao. When Xia Shao came out of the company, it was already dark. Except for those on duty, most of the employees had gone off work. She was alone in the office, reading documents, looking through the company's recent personnel changes, and listening to Sun Changde's report on the auction company's situation after its completion in Qingshi.
After all, Qingshi is the provincial capital city, and Qing Province is also the foundation of the entire Huaxia Group. Sun Changde plans to move his family here after the Chinese New Year. In the future, the Huaxia Auction Company will use Qingshi as its headquarters, and the foundation of Fu Ruixiang will remain in Dongshi. After all, Dongshi is the focus of the entire province’s antiques industry.
After Xu Tianyin arrived, she called Xia Shao, and then she took the elevator downstairs and left the company.
When the security guards and employees on duty saw her coming down, they quickly greeted her respectfully. Xia Shao smiled and nodded and walked out. She smiled as soon as she reached the door.
The man was dressed in black, still wearing nothing more than a thin sweater. He stood in the cold wind, holding flowers in his hand. When she appeared in the company lobby, his eyes were fixed on her and he didn't move away even an inch.
Xia Shao smiled and walked over to take the flowers. She glanced at the unchanging bouquet in her arms and thought funnyly, he wouldn't just send flowers to her every time he saw her in the future, and then keep sending them to the end, right
With a chuckle, Xia Shao didn't feel anything was wrong, but was in a happy mood.
So stupid!
Her smiling face attracted the man to look at her with nostalgia - well, why is she smiling so happily all of a sudden
The man looked at her, and although the way she smiled made him unable to look away, he found that her eyes fell on the bouquet in front of her.
like
Well, I will continue to send them in the future.
After closing the door on the passenger side, Xu Tianyin got into the car. Xia Shao guessed that his first action when he got in the car was to put the flowers in his arms on the back seat, and then he would lean over for a hug.
But she guessed wrong.
Xu Tianyin put her flowers on the back seat, turned around and scooped them up with his arms, then lifted her onto his lap and kissed her heavily.
We haven't seen each other for more than half a month, and all my thoughts and thoughts these past few days have been melted into this kiss. Urgent, wild, and demanding, it wasn't until Xia Shao's eyes turned dark and her breathing became short that Xu Tianyin let her go and let her sit on his lap, hugging her tightly with both arms, unwilling to let go.
The car was still parked in front of the company, and the bright lights from the building shone into the car. Although Xia Shao knew that the situation in the car could not be seen from outside, she still blushed on her cheeks and glared down at the man.
Xu Tianyin felt her gaze and raised his eyes. Instead of finding out where he had gone wrong, he instead stared at the girl's swollen lips and thin blush on her cheeks, with the intention of asking for more.
Xia Shao immediately said, "I'm hungry."
As expected, the man withdrew his troops.
Xu Tianyin booked a hotel room at Wanghaifeng, and he asked for dinner to be served in the room, but Xia Shao looked at him with raised eyebrows and reminded with a smile: "I have to go back to the dormitory to sleep tonight, after all, it's not the company that has something to do tonight and I have to get away. "
Xu Tianyin nodded without saying anything, ordered food, and the two of them ate in the room. The room is fully equipped with coffee tables and sofas. It's not like being in a private room in a hotel, but more like having a meal at home for two people. Xu Tianyin probably liked this atmosphere and ate more than when dining out.
Xia Shao gave him some food with chopsticks and asked: "After the school's winter vacation, I attended the provincial entrepreneur's annual meeting and went home. Are you busy with the military region, senior brother? Do you want to go back to see Master together?" "
"Yeah." Xu Tianyin didn't say whether he was busy or not. His answers were always concise.
Xia Shao smiled, "Well, I won't ask the company car to pick me up. Senior brother will pick me up that day, and we will go back together."
Xu Tianyin nodded and finished the food she gave him.
After dinner, Xia Shao was tired from the past two days and just wanted to rest for a while, so the two of them didn't go for a walk outside. After watching TV in the hotel room for a while, Xia Shao happened to be playing a treasure appraisal program, so she sat and watched. Xu Tianyin sat next to her, peeling apples and pouring tea, not interested in TV programs.
Although Xia Shao knew that with his temperament, she would not be bored just sitting there, she still decided to drag him along to experience the fun together. When the expert was appraising it, she asked: "Brother, guess what, is it true or false?"
Or, just say: "Quick! Guess the price!"
The man would never refuse what she asked for, and would cooperate with her in guessing the truth. Of course, they were all deceived. But after a while, Xia Shao discovered that he had a high chance of being right.
She couldn't help but be curious, and then she realized that the man was not looking at the TV screen at all. He stretched out his arms to hug her, and his eyes were only on her face. When a collection is brought up and it is a fake with relatively high fakery techniques, she will usually raise her eyebrows and reveal a meaningful smile. If it is genuine and good, her eyes will usually light up. These small movements all fell into Xu Tianyin's eyesight, and he quickly mastered the tricks.
Xia Shao is also smart. After thinking about it, she figured out why Xu Tianyin guessed so accurately. So he slapped him funny and said, "You are cheating!"
There was a slight smile on the man's lips, his eyes fell on her pink fist, and his eyes darkened.
As a result, before finishing a treasure appraisal program, the two had a passionate kiss on the sofa, which ended with Xu Tianyin going to the bathroom to take a cold shower. After Xu Tianyin took a shower, he came out wearing a black bathrobe, picked up Xia Shao and walked to the bed.
Xia Shao raised her eyebrows with a warning look in her eyes, "I'm going back to the dormitory to sleep tonight. Besides, senior brother, please don't do bad things again."
"Well, I know." Xu Tianyin hugged her and lay down. The room was warm, and the two of them didn't cover themselves with quilts, just lying on the bed. The man reached over and hugged her waist, leaned sideways to fit her body, found a comfortable position, buried his face in the crook of her neck, and said vaguely, "Just a moment, I'll take you back before the school closes." ."
His breath was ironing her, making her feel hot and itchy. Xia Shao shrank her shoulders, and Xu Tianyin moved away, but still refused to leave her. He leaned his head on her shoulder and closed his eyes.
Xia Shao lowered her eyes and looked down, seeing the man's face very close at hand. His sharp lines seemed soft at the moment. The most important thing was that his eyelashes were very long and thick. They covered his face like a brush, leaving a deep and thick shadow on his face. Jian Ying. His breathing slowly became softer, and after a while, his breathing became even and he looked like he was asleep.
Xia Shao was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect him to fall asleep so quickly. She couldn't help but feel a slight pain in her heart. She couldn't help but think of the last time he woke up from bed and surprised herself, and then looked at the place where he had slept, and he didn't move for a long time.
Xia Shao looked at Xu Tianyin and sighed in her heart. He hadn't slept in a bed for many years, so she should tell him to sleep for a while.
But because she was afraid of missing the time to go back to school, Xia Shao kept lying on her bed with her eyes open. She lay quietly, not daring to move, for fear that if she moved, Xu Tianyin would wake up. She thought she could last two hours to go back to school, but she didn't expect that the room was unusually quiet. Outside, she could only hear the sound of the waves lapping the shore. The rustling sound sounded like a lullaby after listening to it for a long time. She had been busy at the company these past two days. He was also tired, so he kept his eyes open, then slowly closed them, and gradually fell asleep.
The two slept together for one night. When I woke up, it was already morning.
After waking up, Xia Shao was naturally depressed. Xu Tianyin was implicated in her resentment and was glared at by her when she got up. He himself may not have thought that he would be able to sleep all night long. When he got up, his eyes were still a little dazed, but when he saw Xia Shao's murderous gaze, he was slightly dazed again, and subconsciously went to hold her hand, dark His eyes were fixed on her.
Xia Shao couldn't help but softened when she saw the man's appearance. She had been dazed all night and was worried that she would be angry and at a loss.
She looked at him angrily and funny, patted the back of his hand to show that she was not angry, and then Xia Shao got out of bed and picked up her mobile phone, intending to call Qian Haiqiang, the director of the Academic Affairs Office, to explain that she was not home last night. Case. Then call Hu Jiayi to prevent the three of them from worrying about her.
As a result, as soon as the phone was taken out, it rang.
Xia Shao couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw it. This call was from Qian Haiqiang.
She answered the phone and immediately explained what happened last night. Naturally, she didn't tell the truth. She only said that there was a business dinner. After dinner, it was already very late, the school was closed, and she slept in the hotel.
On the other end of the phone, Qian Haiqiang didn't mind at all, saying that Xia Shao's company had a big business and was naturally busy, which the school understood very well. Then, he said with a smile: "Well, tomorrow is the school's literary competition. The expert judges from the province have been invited. At seven o'clock tonight, the school will have a dinner party at Wanghaifeng Hotel. I hope to invite Mr. Xia Attend. I wonder if Mr. Xia has time?"
When Xia Shao heard this, he was not surprised at all. This kind of dinner was normal. She was still a little guilty about what happened last night, so she accepted the matter.
Qian Haiqiang hung up the phone happily. Xia Shao went to take a shower and had breakfast with Xu Tianyin. Then he explained about the dinner in the evening and said: "There are still meetings to be held in the company today. How do you arrange it, brother?" military region?"
Xu Tianyin nodded. It was approaching the new year and the army was also busy. He also wanted to get things sorted out before she went home for the holidays.
Both of them were busy today. After breakfast, Xu Tianyin sent Xia Shao back to the company, and he drove back to the military area.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Xia Shao took the company car on time and returned to Wanghaifeng Hotel for the school dinner.
She was still wearing a cheongsam and a shawl tonight. The cheongsam was made of deep red silk material, with the fragrant scent of peony, elegant and slightly scented, and very solemn. Since the color was slightly darker, she put on a light-colored shawl, which was thick yet energetic. When she got off the company's business Benz and walked into the hotel, Qian Haiqiang, the director of academic affairs who was waiting for her in the lobby, couldn't help but Show a startled look.
"Oh, Mr. Xia." Qian Haiqiang actually came forward to shake hands with Xia Shao. This was very awkward for a school leader and a student. But considering their respective identities tonight, it’s not surprising.
"Principal Lu is upstairs accompanying the judges and experts from the province. They are all here, just waiting for Mr. Xia, haha." Qian Haiqiang said on the way while leading Xia Shao to the private room.
Lu Bowen has now officially taken over as the principal of Qingshi No. 1 Middle School. The principal at the beginning of the school year has been punished and dismissed from his post because of Pan Xiangxuan's incident. Vice-principal Lu Bowen, who had gone to Dongshi to pick up Xia Shao from school, took over his post. As soon as Lu Bowen was promoted to principal, the position of vice principal became vacant. Qian Haiqiang had already been promoted and had to wait until the new year before taking office.
Everything was the same as what Xia Shao had told him in the Academic Affairs Office, so Qian Haiqiang naturally had another respect for her.
As soon as the two of them arrived in the private room, everyone who was talking and laughing fell silent and stood up unconsciously.
Xia Shao's dress is naturally stunning, but what is stunning is only the large table of school leaders, led by Lu Bowen, and provincial expert judges, and a table of middle-aged men and women in suits and formal dresses. As for the spacious room In the hall, people at another table were shocked, hugely shocked.
The private room was very grand, with three banquet tables set up. Xia Shao took a quick look at the door and understood. Of these three tables, one was for the school leaders and expert judges, one was for the parents of the students who were here to establish relationships, and the other was for several students.
These seven or eight students were none other than a group of cadres from the school’s student union—Student Union President Cheng Ming, Vice President Yan Danqi, Minister of Literature and Art Xu Yuan, and four others whose names Xia Shao didn’t know, but they all looked familiar. They were obviously those few Minister-level student union cadres.
The seven of them came with their parents to meet these expert judges tonight, so they naturally dressed up. The three boys headed by Cheng Ming were all wearing suits, and the girls headed by Yan Danqi were all wearing unique dresses.
They heard from their parents that the chairman of Huaxia Group would also attend tonight, so they were naturally surprised and a little nervous. It was not that he was nervous about meeting the chairman of Huaxia Group, but that the person he was nervous about meeting was Xia Shao.
I said I was afraid of seeing it, but actually I was a little bit looking forward to it. What she was looking forward to was that if the person she met was not Xia Shao, the rumors about the school would be dissipated tomorrow, allowing her, who was mistaken for the chairman of Huaxia Group, to suffer the cynicism of her classmates.
This kind of mood can be described as fearful, tangled, complicated, and difficult to describe.
It was in this mood that the seven people sat around the banquet, waiting for the chairman of Huaxia Group who had been speculated by the teachers and students of the school for half a semester since the beginning of the semester.
But in this world, many things are about fear of what will happen!
Before Xia Shao followed Qian Haiqiang in, she heard Qian Haiqiang's laughter in the room, and couldn't help but look at the door. The people at the student union table, Cheng Ming and Yan Danqi, stretched their necks and leaned out of their chairs, just so that they could see her clearly the moment she came in.
People came in and saw clearly.
But it was like a bolt from the blue!
is her
Is it really her? !
All the girls at the table took a breath and looked panicked. Yan Danqi's usually cold face was filled with anger and turned red! However, Cheng Ming and the other three boys looked at him in amazement at first, and were stunned for a long time before they came to their senses.
At this time, Principal Lu Bowen had already left the table with a smile and came over to greet him.
"Oh, Mr. Xia! I have finally been looking forward to this day! When I picked you up at the beginning of school, I hoped that you could give a speech to the school students and inspire your peers. But Mr. Xia keeps a low profile! Now Huaxia Group You have made great achievements in the shopping mall again. I think you want to keep a low profile now, but you can't keep a low profile anymore, right? Haha." Lu Bowen shook hands with Xia Shao as soon as he came up and said with a smile while looking back at the experts invited tonight. Judges and parents of students.
This was like introducing Xia Shao to everyone. A group of people quickly came forward with smiles and shook hands with Xia Shao warmly.
Among the expert judges from the province who came tonight, Xia Shao was not surprised to see Zhu Huaixin. He was an expert in calligraphy and painting. It was inevitable that Qingshi No. 1 Middle School would ask him to be a judge.
He had met Xia Shao many times and was familiar with her better than most people. When he came to shake hands, his attitude was not only polite and complimentary, but also obviously grateful, "Mr. Xia, thank you. Thank you." Fu, my health is much better than before. I used to feel better and worse when I went to the hospital. Now with the continuous treatment, I can only see better but not worse. My brothers are also the same. I plan to invite you to my house for a meal before the end of the year. Rice, thank you."
The people who came today are all respectable people. Zhu Huaixin said this on this occasion. In addition to being grateful to Xia Shao, he also naturally wanted to advertise to her.
Xia Shao knew it well, nodded with a smile, and said nothing more.
But the speaker meant it, and the listeners naturally meant it too, and many people's eyes flashed. Keeping this in mind for the time being, he stepped forward to shake hands with Xia Shao and exchange greetings with a smile.
Seeing the leaders of the school, the expert judges from the province, and their parents all surrounding Xia Shao with compliments, several people at the banquet table between Cheng Ming and Yan Danqi were still shocked, and many feelings surged in their hearts. No matter which one it is, it's not very pleasant.
Xu Yuan looked at Xia Shao repeatedly in surprise and uncertainty. After being shocked, she couldn't help but pull Yan Danqi and asked anxiously and worriedly: "What should I do, Vice President? I, will I be finished this time?"
