Rebirth of the Genius Charlatan

Chapter 81: Make a date and be my woman

Views:

This real estate talent was recommended by Sun Changde. When he lived in the United States in his early years, he met many top students. Xia Shao was naturally somewhat interested in the person he recommended.

The meeting place is set at Wanghaifeng Hotel, with floor-to-ceiling windows, sea view and beautiful scenery. Naturally, Xia Shao came to meet someone after school. When she arrived, everyone in the VIP room was already there.

When Xia Shao was led into the room by the waiter, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly and was stunned for a moment.

In the room, Chen Manguan and Ma Xianrong looked at her and laughed.

Xia Shao smiled helplessly when she saw it. She finally understood why Ma Xianrong was so mysterious on the phone. He only told her that this person was recommended by Sun Changde and refused to say anything else.

In the room, sitting across from the two people was not a man, but a woman.

This woman was in her mid-twenties, very young, and her hair was slightly brown, and it didn't look like she had dyed it. Because this woman has a high nose, high eyebrows, and although her pupils are black, she is obviously of foreign origin, and she looks like a mixed race.

The woman was wearing a black women's suit, with neat short hair, a serious expression, and a capable aura all over her body. When she saw Xia Shao come in, she didn't even look surprised. It was obvious that Sun Changde had already told her about Xia Shao's age and some things. She stood up along with Chen Manguan and Ma Xianrong, nodded slightly to Xia Shao, stretched out her hand and said politely: "Hello, Mr. Xia."

Very fluent in Chinese, with authentic pronunciation.

Xia Shao smiled and nodded, shook hands with the woman, and then the four of them took their seats.

Chen Manguan chuckled, "Mr. Xia, didn't you expect that? The person introduced to us by Mr. Sun turned out to be a lady with a capable style. This Miss Emily is an MBA from the University of Pennsylvania in the United States, an elite in the management world!"

Xia Shao smiled and nodded after hearing this, but she felt helpless in her heart. Could it be that she is usually too calm? So much so that all the generals under his command always liked to surprise her. They would not say anything about such things on the phone, obviously because they wanted to see her surprised expression.

In 1998, there were already many people doing business, but there were still relatively few women doing business. Let alone this day and age, even in later generations, strong women in shopping malls will always be a minority.

Emily obviously didn't agree with Chen Manguan's words. She said with a serious expression: "With all due respect, I don't think women are weaker than men in the mall. The mall is like a battlefield, but it is not a battlefield where swords and guns meet, so there is no need to Women use speed, strength and physical qualities to compete with men. In the shopping mall, creativity, leadership skills, communication skills and teamwork spirit are important. Those who can do all these are strong! Isn't Mr. Xia the best example? "

Emily's Chinese ability is very fluent, her pronunciation is almost perfect, and her words are serious and serious. Chen Manguan, who just said this casually, was shot on the spot. He was stunned, and he and Ma Xianrong looked at each other. Then both of them laughed.

"Miss Emily is right! Haha, it was me, Old Chen, who said the wrong thing."

Chen Manguan smiled and admitted his mistake, and Emily nodded slightly.

Xia Shao smiled, "Miss Emily speaks Chinese very well. She must be of mixed Chinese and German descent, right?"

Emily nodded lightly, but Ma Xianrong was stunned, "I remember that I didn't tell Mr. Xia about Miss Emily on the phone. How did Mr. Xia know that Miss Emily was of Chinese and German descent? Is it possible? Can you see it from above?"

Xia Shao smiled and shook her head, "It's not all about facial appearance. I see that Miss Emily has a capable, serious and rigorous temperament, which reminds me of the Germans."

"My mother is German and my father is Chinese. I have never forgotten that I am half Chinese. I have longed for my father's hometown since I was a child. So this time when Mr. Sun found me, I felt Come and meet Mr. Xia." Emily looked at Xia Shao, with a capable and serious temperament and a serious expression.

"I heard Mr. Sun say something about Mr. Xia. I admire Mr. Xia very much for being able to create such a legend in the mall at such a young age. But I was not involved in the previous legends of Huaxia Group. There is an old saying in China, 'A good man' Let’s not talk about the past, so let’s not talk about the past. Regarding the future development of the group, can I ask Mr. Xia a few questions?”

Xia Shao smiled after hearing this. It was a bit inappropriate to use this word here, but she understood what Emily wanted to express, so she nodded with a smile.

Seeing her nodding, Chen Manguan and Ma Xianrong looked at each other. If the interview with Ms. Emily today is successful, she will become a veteran manager of the company in the future. The interview for such a person is different from that of ordinary executives or employees of the company. It can be said that they choose each other. But Mr. Xia is the chairman of the group. As the boss, she should always control the main pace of this interview, but at this time, it seems that the situation is a bit reversed.

Although Mr. Xia is too young, anyone who meets him at this age will have a heart attack. It seems that the risk is higher than choosing another boss. It is normal to be cautious and ask. But again, a leader must have the spirit of a leader. Miss Emily’s aura is a bit strong. Mr. Xia can’t be dominated by her...

The two of them were a little worried, but Xia Shao smiled leisurely and elegantly, acting like a listener, indicating to Emily that she could ask if she had anything to say.

Emily was not polite and said: "Although I personally admire Mr. Xia very much, as far as the entire group is concerned, since Mr. Xia is the leader, I can only put aside Mr. Xia's age and focus on Look at Mr. Xia from the perspective of a leader. I heard that Mr. Xia intends to establish a real estate company. I have analyzed the assets and distribution operation of Huaxia Group, and I have come to the conclusion that Huaxia’s current assets are just enough to stabilize the provincial market. . The antique industry and auction companies are highly profitable and are accumulating assets quickly. With the rapidly accumulated assets, they will seize the domestic auction market. Within three years, there will be a steady upward trend. It can be said that the situation is good. With the current scarcity of the domestic auction industry, It is foreseeable that China will become the leader one day. Therefore, I don’t understand Mr. Xia’s intention of establishing a real estate company.”

"Once a real estate company is established, the financial operation pressure of Huaxia Group will increase. In the least case, it will also affect the auction company's ability to seize the domestic market. Nowadays, Huaxia's success has made many people focus on the emerging auction industry. Industry. Before I came here, I made a statistics. After the press conference on the establishment of Huaxia Group, there were more than 200 newly registered auction companies in the country! There are at least ten competitive ones, and they all have assets behind them. Generous group support. These auction companies will become Huaxia’s competitors in seizing the domestic market in recent years, but they are a step later than Huaxia, and their reputation in the industry is far less than that of Huaxia. Moreover, these groups themselves are mainly engaged in other industries, so they are professional In the short term, the level will not be as high as that of Huaxia. As long as Huaxia ensures its capital chain and makes steady progress, it can become the leader of the domestic auction industry within five years!"

"In such a good situation, Mr. Xia wants to set up a real estate company. Once the funds are diverted, it will be the least serious situation that will hinder the auction company's ability to seize the market. Once competitors compete maliciously and Huaxia's capital chain is broken, the entire group will be There is a danger of collapse. So, Mr. Xia, I want to ask you, are you serious about your decision to establish a real estate company, or is it just a whim? If the situation I predict occurs, how will you save your group? If it does not happen In the above situation, where does the newly established real estate company’s funds come from? Where does its future development and positioning lie?”

Emily's tone was not harsh, but serious and rigorous. She stared at Xia Shao's expression the whole time, looking forward to her answer.

Xia Shao lowered her eyes slightly, but a smile appeared on her lips. Emily is pretty good.

She didn't know about Xia Shao's plan to swallow up Wang Daolin. This plan was an internal matter within the group, and Sun Changde would naturally not tell her, so it was normal for her to worry about the funds. What Xia Shao admired was her attitude in doing things. She not only analyzed Huaxia Group's financial operations, but also made statistics and estimates on domestic industry development. This at least showed that she was serious.

Moreover, you must know that she came to apply for the general manager of a real estate company, but her analysis result is that it is not appropriate for Huaxia Group to enter the real estate industry at this time. This is undoubtedly adding a stumbling block to herself. If Xia Shao had not considered this and suddenly realized it after listening to her words, then Huaxia would have given up on the idea of establishing a real estate company. In other words, Emily's interview would end in failure and no results.

But she expressed her analysis, which just showed that she had her own set of principles for doing things.

Xia Shao was very satisfied with Emily's words and nodded with a smile.

Emily looked at Xia Shao seriously, her face expressionless, but her heart was fluctuating. She has always been good at controlling her emotions. She believes that the most basic quality when working in the mall is not to show her emotions and anger. This can at least make her opponents unclear about her emotions and thoughts. She always thought that she had done a good job in this area, but she didn't expect to see someone who did better than her today.

What she just said was actually very rude. After hearing this, most people will have expressions of panic, anger, and dissatisfaction. No matter how well they hide it, there will still be some light or unhappy look in their eyes. Moreover, most people who can conceal their emotional reactions are veterans who have worked in the business for many years, or have received special training.

Emily believed that the girl in front of her should not be among the two.

She comes from an ordinary family and is studying. She should be just an ordinary girl no matter how you look at it. Her success is a miracle, and she should protect the group she founded more than anyone else, but when she said this, she didn't even look uncomfortable. Don't panic, don't get angry, don't argue. From the beginning to now, you have always maintained a smile that is calm at all times.

For the first time, Emily had the feeling that she was not facing an ordinary girl, but a veteran who had been in the mall for many years! It was also the first time that she felt like she couldn't see through someone.

At this time, Xia Shao raised his eyes and looked at her, "Miss Emily, I'm glad to hear what you said. But you are not an employee of Huaxia at the moment. Regarding the company's decisions and future decisions, I think I It is not convenient for me to disclose this to you, but please understand. And there is one thing I want to say to you. I established the Huaxia Group with my own hands. As its helmsman, I stand for its overall interests more than anyone else. Go up and consider it. Therefore, the establishment of a real estate company is not a piece of cake, it is imperative."

Xia Shao has a laid-back attitude and an elegant smile, but her demeanor is natural.

Emily's eyes were slightly stunned, and she was surprised by the magnanimity of the girl in front of her. The words "as its helmsman" did not reveal any argument or high-profile, but only the deep magnanimity that determined everything.

Although she didn't reveal anything, Emily had the feeling that she was indeed talking to the chairman of Huaxia Group. This made her wonder, how did a girl from such an ordinary family develop such a demeanor

If Emily knew at this moment that the phrase "the establishment of real estate is imperative" was actually decided by Miss Xia Shao just now, would she vomit blood

However, this is indeed what Xia Shao decided just now.

At the beginning, Xia Shao wanted to set up a real estate company just to buy a piece of land in the city center from Jinda at a low price, and then build a private club to accumulate contacts for Huaxia Group. As for whether to enter the real estate industry in the future, she has been hesitant. There will naturally be funds after swallowing Wang Daolin, so she is not worried, but she has been hesitant to become one of the people who will spur the unreasonable surge in housing prices in future generations.

But Emily's words just now, "Where is the future development and positioning of the real estate company?" reminded her and helped her make a decision.

She is the leader of Huaxia Group, and she must be responsible for her group and employees. She cannot say to her employees after the real estate company is established and the private club is built: "I established this real estate company just to Private club, now that the club is built, you can leave."

In this case, how can she be worthy of employees who are passionate about this company

Let’s talk about real estate companies. The scope of real estate companies is actually very wide, including real estate development companies, intermediary service companies, and property management companies. Taking real estate development companies alone, it is not necessarily just real estate. Urban land development, housing construction, infrastructure construction, etc. are all covered.

Even if residential areas are not built, the profits from other aspects of development are still huge.

Xia Shao knew in her heart that once she entered this industry and was in it, the possibility of not being involved in this field in the future was probably slim. In this regard, she can actually give it a try to see if she can break the vicious circle of skyrocketing housing prices in later generations. Even if it can be improved a little, it is a merit.

Many things in this world can be divided into action and inaction. Not getting involved and being alone is inaction. It is easy to do this, but it is rare to do something.

Thinking of this, Xia Shao smiled and suddenly felt that her mood had broadened a lot, as if she had enlightened some truth and suddenly became enlightened.

Only she can understand the changes in her state of mind, and no one else here can feel them. Emily was just intimidated by her demeanor and was stunned for a while. When she came to her senses, she couldn't help but ask: "Since it is imperative for Mr. Xia to establish a real estate company, can I ask if Mr. Xia is interested in real estate?" Industry views, and estimates of the future development of the domestic real estate industry? The leader of every group should be a successful forecaster, able to see future trends and worlds that others cannot reach. The leader does not need to be in management He is an all-round talent, but he must have far-sightedness and overall perspective than anyone else. I hope Mr. Xia can give me a clear answer and let me consider whether Huaxia is worth my investment."

These words inevitably made Chen Manguan and Ma Xianrong frown slightly. Miss Emily spoke too directly. Is this how foreigners communicate with others? In any case, compared with the smooth way of life of the Chinese people, they are a little uncomfortable.

Ma Xianrong smiled, "Our Mr. Xia has never failed in predicting investment trends. I wonder if Mr. Sun has mentioned it to Miss Emily. Mr. Xia is talented in Eastern metaphysics. Many business people I have asked her to predict investment matters, and she has never failed, so please rest assured, Miss Emily."

Emily frowned slightly and looked at Xia Shao, "I heard Mr. Sun mention this, but please allow me to speak frankly. There are indeed many mysterious things in the ancient East that science cannot explain. I Admit it. But unfortunately, I am still a materialist. I have no objection to Mr. Xia’s personal hobbies and talents in other areas, but I hope to be able to discuss business. Since it is a business matter, let’s treat it as a business matter. Give me an answer based on the theory above. If it were just Mr. Ma’s answer just now, it’s a pity that it cannot convince me.”

"I didn't intend to use this point to convince you." Xia Shao smiled and looked at Emily, "But unfortunately, I didn't intend to give you a clear answer using business theories."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Manguan, Ma Xianrong and Emily were all stunned.

"I don't understand what Mr. Xia means," Emily said.

"I appreciate Miss Emily's rigor and pragmatism, but you may have forgotten one thing. Predictions about the future of the industry are not within the scope of materialism. The predictions, vision, foresight and decisions of successful people are all Along with the spirit of adventure. I am the founder of Huaxia Group, and I am a creator. The most fascinating thing about this kind of creation is the surprise it gives people. Step-by-step and rigidity cannot buy surprises, you want to see it , you have to pay the risk first.”

Xia Shao laughed, with a sense of enjoyment in her smile, "Whether Huaxia Group is worth Miss Emily's involvement is not an answer I can give you. You have to ask yourself. Are you willing to take the risk and become a creative If you want it, it’s worth it.”

If you want it, it's worth it...

Emily was stunned. This was the first time she had shown anything other than serious since she appeared in the hotel VIP room today. She looked like she was deeply shocked!

Rigorous and step-by-step has always been her style of doing things. This was the first time she heard such words. A creator told her to enjoy the process and risks of creation. This was something she had never tried before, but for some reason, she There is a feeling of excitement. This unpredictability of the future made her heart beat faster and she couldn't help but be excited.

Xia Shao looked at Emily's expression, but smiled, stopped disturbing her, and left her time to think. She turned to Chen Manguan and Ma Xianrong and said, "Have you ordered? I'm a little hungry."

The two laughed. It was only at times like this that she looked like an ordinary girl.

The dishes came one after another. Xia Shao was worried that Emily would not be used to Chinese food, so she thoughtfully ordered a few German dishes, and then started to eat.

Emily didn't speak during the entire meal. She looked absent-minded and seemed to be thinking about something seriously.

After finishing the meal, Xia Shao stood up and said, "Miss Emily, you don't have to answer me today. You can go back and think about it carefully."

"No, I've already thought about it." Emily looked up at Xia Shao and stood up, "Mr. Xia said something wrong. You said you weren't going to give me a clear answer to convince me. In fact, But I have been convinced. I believe that the success of Huaxia Group is not an accident. With a leader like you at the helm, it is bound to be brilliant. I have not participated in its previous legendary stories, but I hope to follow Mr. Xia and compose its future. Legend. I just don’t know if I have this honor.”

Xia Shao smiled. This girl was quite straightforward in making decisions. She liked this.

"Then it depends on Miss Emily's ability. I have my eye on a landmark. If Miss Emily can make this case more beautiful, then you are welcome to join Huaxia Summer!"

"In other words, Mr. Xia is willing to give me a chance to try it out? Well, I will make you satisfied." Emily smiled slightly and extended her hand to Xia Shao.

When she smiled, she lost the seriousness and ability on her face, and gained a bit more vitality that a young woman should have. Xia Shao also smiled and stretched out her hand to shake her hand. The candidate for the manager position of the real estate company was finalized.

Emily's visit this time was naturally a business trip abroad. She stayed at the Wanghaifeng Hotel and immediately decided to go back to Germany tomorrow to go through all the procedures for coming to China. Xia Shao exchanged contact information with her, then shook hands with her and said goodbye, and left the hotel with Chen Manguan and Ma Xianrong.

The two of them drove her back to school. In the car, Ma Xianrong said: "This person's style of dealing with things is a bit straight, but he seems to be quite capable and not pretentious. The person recommended by Mr. Sun should be trustworthy in terms of ability. As long as Just be a decent person.”

Chen Manguan nodded, but his eyes brightened, and he asked as if he was remembering something: "Mr. Xia, this Miss Emily is of Chinese and German descent. Can you tell from her face that she is reliable?"

Xia Shao turned to look at Chen Manguan with a smile, and joked: "Uncle Chen is very obsessed with metaphysics recently. He wants to ask everyone about their faces. I think you can change your career."

Ma Xianrong laughed while driving the car.

Chen Manguan also laughed, "Hey! Aren't I curious? I just want to know, our ancestors invented facial features. Looking at foreigners... is it accurate?"

"Eh? Don't tell me... this is really what happened. Are you sure, Mr. Xia?" Ma Xianrong also became curious.

"We can't generalize. Facial physiognomy has little to do with the Book of Changes. It's a statistics. It counts the facial features of yellow people, and foreigners cannot be included in it." Xia Shao shook his head.

"For example, let's take Tianzhai Palace. In physiognomy, people who are too thin between their eyebrows mostly have a weak family concept, love freedom, and have low financial ability. Moreover, if their eyebrows are too low, the distance between their eyebrows is too small. Short eyebrows are called low-eyebrows. Most people with this kind of face have bad luck and are afraid of getting into trouble. However, foreigners' faces are mostly thin, with low eyebrows and low-eyes, but they are bold, adventurous, and enterprising. This is consistent with the appearance of foreigners. There are huge discrepancies in the photo books.”

"Doesn't that mean that foreigners are not allowed to look at their faces?" Chen Manguan asked.

"Not necessarily, it depends on how you look at it. Most foreigners have a high nose bridge and thick brow bones, which in physiognomy represents self-confidence, a strong personality, and positivity and boldness. Foreigners with this kind of appearance, even if they have thin eyebrows or low eyebrows, The eyes cannot block the overall appearance of the face, that is, they cannot play a big role. But in general, Asians are the most accurate in terms of facial appearance.”

"That means metaphysics only applies to us?" Ma Xianrong also asked curiously.

Xia Shao gave him a negative answer, "No. In addition to physiognomy, Feng Shui, astrology and other techniques have no geographical limitations and can be used anywhere. Ziwei Dou Shu in metaphysics and Western astrology are both a kind of star. Feng Shui is a comprehensive natural science of the earth, and is currently being studied in the West."

The two of them nodded and sighed as they listened.

Wanghaifeng Hotel is not far from Qingshi No. 1 Middle School, just a short drive away. The car stopped at the school gate and Chen Manguan said: "Mr. I can drive here quickly."

Xia Shao nodded. There were still many things for Chen Manguan to take charge of in Dongshi. He had been in Qingshi for a few days and it was time to go back.

Before getting off the car, Xia Shao suddenly remembered something and said to Ma Xianrong: "It will take a while to build a private club. It will not be available for use before the year. I will go to the store on weekends from now on. If anyone comes to see me, just let them Come on the weekend.”

Ma Xianrong nodded in agreement.

Chen Manguan smiled and said, "Xia finally has time to show people Feng Shui. You have been in Qingshi for more than two months. People from Dongshi have come to me several times. It is better to complain directly when you are in Dongshi. , it’s close. Coming here will make it cheaper for people in Qingshi. I just tell them to drive to Fu Ruixiang’s store here if they have something urgent. If it’s not too urgent, you can go back to Dongshi.”

Xia Shao nodded after hearing this, "Just set up the club and let them go through the VIP procedures. I will set up a health-preserving Feng Shui bureau in the club and let them stay for two days a month. It is good for the body. If you have anything, just ask at that time." . Of course, you have to charge money.”

"Feng Shui bureau? Can this thing also improve the body?" Chen Manguan slapped his thigh, "Oh! Then I will come and stay for two days every month from now on. Mr. Xia, give me a room!"

Xia Shao couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, "That's not necessary, the club will be built as a chain, and then Uncle Chen will be over there."

Chen Manguan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was a little excited, "Yes! We will have many places to develop in China in the future. Building a private club in each place is a good way to accumulate contacts! Alas, it's a pity that Mr. Xia is so We need to build a charity fund from the profits, otherwise Mr. Xia will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life just because he is in a private club like this, haha."

Xia Shao looked at him with a smile, "Even if I don't have this kind of income, I won't have to worry about food and clothing in my life. Hua Xia makes a lot of money, so don't bother with my club."

Chen Manguan chuckled, and Xia Shao said goodbye to the two of them and got out of the car.

It was already dark when we got off the bus, it was after seven o'clock in the evening. The aftermath of Pan Xiangxuan's attack at the school gate is still lingering. The school is currently under strict restrictions. Today is not a weekend, so the school gate is tightly closed. The crowd of students who usually come in and out of the school at this time is deserted at this time. The lights are on in the guard room. Xia Shao walked over and handed over the leave request form and asked the guard to cancel it and record the time of returning to school.

When I walked to the window, I found that in addition to the guard, there were two people from the student union checking the recent entry and exit records of the school. One of them was Yan Danqi, the vice president of the student union.

She had already seen Xia Shao get out of a commercial Mercedes-Benz. She did not reach out to receive the leave note, but just crossed her arms across her chest and raised her chin. The girl next to me came to pick her up and asked the guard to record the time.

As soon as Xia Shao left school, Yan Danqi raised her eyebrows and said coldly, "I've been there for more than two hours. What did you do? You didn't go to any strange place."

The girl next to him laughed when he heard this, without raising his eyes, "How could we not go to a strange place? Didn't you see that the person got off the business Benz? I heard it was a military Land Rover before, and now it is a business Benz. Let's The most sought-after freshman in the school.”

The girl was dressed in ordinary clothes. She smiled and secretly glanced at Yan Danqi, her intention to please was obvious.

Xia Shao was too lazy to care and let them talk. Anyway, it was just for fun.

The school door opened slowly. Yan Danqi watched Xia Shao walking leisurely inside and couldn't help but snorted, "There's nothing the brave can do. If something like this happens in the school, most students can abide by the school rules, but some People always do something special."

"Senior sister, some people are born like this. No matter how big things happen, they still want to go out and meet men. I hope something won't happen to her."

The two of them were sarcastic, but Xia Shao walked into the school gate with leisurely steps, leaving the two of them with an indifferent back. No matter how many eyes poked at her back, she was too lazy to pay attention.

However, as soon as she took about ten steps, the cell phone on her body rang.

Xia Shao was stunned, took it out and saw that it was actually a call from Xu Tianyin. Xia Shao stared at the phone screen for a while, staring at the four words "Senior Brother Du Meng" displayed on it, and clearly felt her heart beat faster.

The phone rang for a while before she picked it up. Xu Tianyin's slightly cold voice came from the phone, "Are you at school?"

"Here, what's wrong, senior brother?" Xia Shao said as she walked into the campus. She didn't want her voice on the phone to be heard by the people in the guard room.

Due to the restrictions on the campus, students are not allowed to move around as soon as it gets dark, so the school is very quiet now. Xia Shao can obviously hear the sound of the car on the other end from her mobile phone.

"Senior brother is driving?" Xia Shao asked with raised eyebrows.

"Well, I'll be there in a minute."

arrive…

"Where?" Xia Shao asked knowingly. Although she knew that Xu Tianyin must be talking about school, but... today is only Wednesday! This man only came to see her on weekends, why did he come quietly today

"School, come here." Xu Tianyin spoke concisely on the other end of the phone.

Xia Shao turned around and looked at the school gate from a distance. Sure enough, she saw two bright car lights getting closer and closer to the school gate. The next moment, she heard the faint sound of parking on the phone.

"...Brother, why are you here today?" Xia Shao stood quietly in the quiet campus, looking at the car lights at the school gate and asked, but for some reason, there was a thumping sound in her heart.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and then a cold voice came, "I miss you."

Xia Shao opened her mouth immediately and felt her heart skip a beat.

"You're not in the dormitory?" Having said that, Xu Tianyin's tone was affirmative.

"Why do you ask?"

"The sound of wind, branches and leaves, and just now there was the sound of footsteps."

Xia Shao smiled silently upon hearing this. This man has good hearing! She could hear him driving because it was quiet around her. He was driving, but he could even hear the sound of the wind and her light footsteps. What kind of ears

"Okay, I got it. I'll be out in a minute." After hanging up the phone, Xia Shao walked slowly towards the school gate.

But when I got to the school gate, the people from the student union refused to let me go. The reason was that she had already canceled her vacation when she came in, and it was against the rules to go out again.

Want to go out again? Bring me another leave note!

The leave note needs to be signed by both the Academic Affairs Office and the head teacher. At this time, the school leaders are already off work, and only the teacher on duty is here. Where can I issue a leave note? This is obviously making things difficult.

In the guard room, the girl from the student union glanced at the school gate, glanced at Xia Shao, and said in a sour tone, "Hey! You're in a hurry, why didn't you collide with that business Mercedes-Benz just now? Is that possible? It’s a good show.”

Yan Danqi yelled angrily, "What are you talking about! I'm afraid the world won't be in chaos! If they collide, there will be another violent incident at the school gate tonight. How much damage will be done to the school's reputation if one after another happens?"

The girl immediately admitted her mistake in a low-key manner, but there was a smile in her eyes.

Xia Shao rolled her eyes in her heart. If only they bumped into each other, she wouldn't have to be stopped at the school gate now.

In the car, Xu Tianyin had already seen Xia Shao arrive at the school gate. Seeing that she was locked in and seemed to be in trouble, Xu Tianyin opened the door to come out.

Xia Shao had already expected that he would get out of the car, so she quickly waved her hand in the direction of the car and gave him a signal to stay in the car. If he gets out of the car, what's the point? That's really going to be a nasty incident.

Seeing that the car door that had just been opened was closed again, and Xu Tianyin stayed in the car obediently, Xia Shao smiled with satisfaction, took out his mobile phone and dialed Qian Haiqiang, the director of the Academic Affairs Office, and explained the situation to him, saying only that he After returning to school, she had to go out again. Without saying what she was going out for, Qian Haiqiang asked her to hand the phone to Yan Danqi.

"Director Qian's phone number." When Xia Shao handed over the phone, Yan Danqi's face was frosty, but the girl next to her looked at Xia Shao in shock.

Yan Danqi pursed her lips without saying a few words and handed the phone back to Xia Shao. The look in her eyes changed and she asked the guard to open the school gate with an ugly face.

Xia Shao walked out of the school, but Qian Haiqiang's voice came over the phone, "Ahem! Mr. Xia, can you come to the Academic Affairs Office during recess tomorrow morning? The school has something to do, and I want to discuss it with you."

Xia Shao noticed that he addressed her with a polite tone, so she raised her eyebrows and agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Xia Shao got into Xu Tianyin's car. In the guard room, the shock on the girl's face did not dissipate. Na Na asked: "Senior sister, who is this new student? Why would Director Qian personally..."

Yan Danqi's face looked ugly, who was Director Qian? Even Principal Lu is the same! She also wants to know who this new student is!

Both of them were staring at Xu Tianyin's car, and at this time, inside the car.

As soon as Xia Shao got into the car, Xu Tianyin hugged her into his arms, holding her tightly with his arms, rubbing her back with his big hands, burying his face in her soft hair, and sniffed deeply.

Xia Shao stretched out her hand to push him, resisting the feeling of her heartbeat speeding up, with a teasing smile on her face, "What are you doing? Do you want to repeat what happened when you got back into the car?"

"Are you angry?" Xu Tianyin paused while hugging her, then let her go, staring at her with his deep black eyes and his voice was hoarse.

"No." Xia Shao smiled at him and turned to look out of the car window, "Why are you here at this time? Can the work of the military region be abandoned like this at any time? Commander."

"It doesn't matter." Xu Tianyin said, but his eyes were fixed on the car window and the girl's slightly raised lips.

Xia Shao then turned around and asked, "Senior brother, have you had dinner?" It was already past seven o'clock. He was probably on the way during dinner time, so he probably didn't eat.

"It doesn't matter." Xu Tianyin still said the same thing.

"What can you do without eating?" Xia Shao frowned slightly, "I ate at the hotel with Mr. Chen tonight, and I was quite full. Senior brother, I will accompany you wherever you want to eat."

"It doesn't matter."

Xia Shao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and rolled her eyes.

She rolled her eyes, and Xu Tianyin explained: "I mean, I'm not hungry. When I was on a mission before, I didn't have to eat for ten days and it was okay. This time, it's okay."

He was afraid that she would be angry, so he explained for the first time, but Xia Shao was stunned.

She had always known that Xu Tianyin's past experience was very dark, but suddenly she heard him talk about it. Although it was just a simple sentence,...

She felt inexplicably blocked, and the rare smile on her face dropped. As soon as she opened the door and got out of the car, "Waiting in the car!"

Xia Shao went to a restaurant near the school and packed two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian. She brought mineral water and hot rice back to the car, and asked Xu Tianyin to sit in the back seat. His car is for military use, so it naturally has a table-like setting for writing things, reading maps, etc. on the car.

After putting all the food on the table and both of them sitting in the back seat, Xia Shao watched him eat.

Xu Tianyin silently picked up the food and ate very quickly. Xia Shao frowned, but he raised his eyes and said, "It's not as delicious as your cooking."

These words made Xia Shao angry and either laugh or not. She suddenly remembered that when he accompanied his master to celebrate the New Year in the house on the mountain, didn't she often go to stir-fry and cook for them

"Just make do with it! It's better than not eating."

"I want to eat the food you cooked." Xu Tianyin stared at her with dark eyes.

Xia Shao looked at him for a while and smiled, "When did senior brother speak in such a roundabout way? Be more direct, what do you mean!"

"Be my woman."

"..." Cough!

Xia Shao turned her head, choking on her own saliva, with a painful expression. Xu Tianyin put down the chopsticks in his hand, opened the water and handed it to her, patting her back gently. Xia Shao took a breath and turned back depressedly, "What a beautiful idea!"

Xu Tianyin's movement of patting her back stalled, and Xia Shao felt something was wrong with him. She turned around and saw the hurt look in his deep eyes that she had no time to put away.

"You... hate me?" He clasped his hands, his chest rising and falling slightly, but his eyes were fixed on her.

Xia Shao was stunned for a moment. The meaning of her words was just... She was stunned by his too direct words. She instinctively said that, but she didn't expect...

"No." Xia Shao shook his head, gave him a smile, and explained, "I mean, you have a good idea! Don't think that junior sister can be chased so easily. Senior brother didn't even pursue the pursuit, and I was just so obedient. I agreed, but it’s too cheap.”

Xia Shao laughed, her cheeks were pink, but there was an interesting smile on her lips, "Look at your performance!"

Since she can see her own thoughts clearly, she might as well give him a chance. In fact, her current mentality does not require love to be so grand and vigorous, but a steady flow of water, as long as they can support each other until they grow old, and plainness is true.

However, if the other party was her cute senior brother, Xia Shao couldn't help but have prank thoughts in her heart. How would someone like him chase a woman? She was really interested. She might as well ask him to chase her and add some fun to her life.

In the car, the girl's eyebrows were full of energy, she was smiling, her eyes were curved into crescent moons, and she had the look of a little fox, which made her look uneasy.

She was going to torment him again.

Xu Tianyin had a slight smile on his lips, nodded and said, "Okay, as long as you want."

The two stayed in the car for more than an hour. After Xu Tianyin finished eating, the two chatted for a while, and Xia Shao proposed to go back to the dormitory to rest. Although when she was about to get off the bus, someone stared deeply at her lips with obvious intentions, Xia Shao got out of the car with a smile and walked back to school with brisk steps.

Until her figure disappeared on campus. In the car, Xu Tianyin picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, tell me how to chase women."
