Unlike the children of other big compounds, for example, in the last years of the once glorious Huatong Company of Shanhai, people within the company were changing their minds and trying to find a way out.
Yao Beibei's parents, because of their connections, had a lot of opportunities outside the home, and they had several salaries, so they didn't have to worry about food and clothing. Liu Ying's mother was in the city's teaching and research group, and her father Liu Jun opened an equipment sales company. Yang Xia's grandfather, who had some say in Shanhai, had not retired at that time. Even if he had retired now, as long as he was still alive, a phone call would still attract many people. Moreover, there were actually several options in front of his father, and Yang Xia's father Yang Yuewen finally chose to go to the post office.
Similarly, families with connections in the compound would be looked up to by others behind their backs. People should be flexible and leave themselves a way out, and not choose to hang themselves on a tree. This saying was quite popular in the compound at that time. In the end, those who were prepared and had a way out felt more or less superior.
As for people like Cheng Feiyang who hold on to the last position, we admire them, but people are fickle creatures. When the company is really struggling, but they are not affected because they have found a way out, people's evaluation of Cheng Feiyang is somewhat blindly loyal and inflexible, and one might even say that he is obsessed with the tiny position and power in the research institute.
Therefore, no matter how many model titles Cheng Feiyang had won or how many honors he received, when his glory was fading, negative suspicion and slander would always arrive as expected.
Therefore, Yao Beibei and Liu Ying, who were influenced by their families and matured early, have views on Cheng Ran that are more or less inseparable from their parents' evaluations. It is said that a child's future can be seen at the age of three and his character at the age of ten. Cheng Ran is probably the same as some of the children of the courtyards who have learned from previous experiences. Because his family situation was deteriorating and his academic performance was not good, he ended up entering society early and lived a life that remained the same for decades.
But Yu Xiao is different. From childhood to adulthood, Yu Xiao has seen something different about Cheng Ran. Not to mention that when he was a child, Cheng Ran was basically the king of the kids in the yard. Sometimes he would fight with people from the neighboring compound, the government community, the hardware company next door, and the geological team. Although Huatong Company is a large company, there are only a dozen or so children in the same batch. Compared with the huge group of hardware companies in the government community, it is still a little outnumbered.
Sometimes when there were conflicts and frictions and their side suffered losses, Cheng Ran, who later found out about it, would step forward to seek redress. For example, when they had a fight with Sun Jichao from the government compound, he had gone alone to reason with a large group of people, but in the end, he was beaten black and blue because the others were unreasonable.
Since they couldn't fight head-on, they would do it in private, leading Yu Xiao to smash the other party's windows and pull out the valve core of a bicycle. For example, they stole loquats from Jiang Hongshao's house. After a similar "revenge" act, they strolled to Jiang Hongshao's house to enjoy the fruits of victory.
Although he and Cheng Ran were usually stubborn and insulting, and they would blame each other when disaster struck, Yu Xiao still felt excited when he thought of the time when he followed Cheng Ran and the door to a new world opened before his eyes and his eyes were majestic and bright.
For a long time, Yu Xiao couldn't describe this feeling, until one day when he saw the cover of a very popular martial arts book in a rental bookstore. The cover was so worn out that he felt that the name on the cover was very appropriate: How can a golden fish stay in a pond
What happened afterwards made him more and more certain of this judgment. The blackboard newspaper on the eve of junior high school graduation showed the eye-catching news of his son's admission to the No. 1 high school with the highest score in the compound that period. Then he surpassed Song Shiqiu and won the first place in the No. 1 high school last semester.
If it was just that, it would be fine. In the performance of Qin Xizhen at the Shanhai Music Festival, Cheng Ran's conducting was calm and steady, and he fought back for Teacher Qin on the stage. At that moment, Yu Xiao and the students from the compound talked to each other later, and they all felt that it was an unreal Cheng Ran, a look they had never seen before. Anyway, like Yao Beibei, she could return to the scene of that day in her dreams several times and then wake up in shock.
The second is Cheng Ran's father. Since the company was restructured, the reputation of the newly established Fulong Company has been rising step by step. His parents have shares in it and have even re-employed them... Not only that, but Yao Beibei, Liu Ying, Yang Xia and other children who have shares and have even re-employed the family, it seems that in the blink of an eye, Cheng Ran's family has become their boss.
Of course, these are not what Yu Xiao admires the most. What he admires the most is that in the past, he always heard that some senior student or student from another school, with an extraordinary family background and some influential person who was very successful in life, would block the school gate to pursue girls.
No. 1 Middle School is a place that attracts the attention of the whole city. It is not lacking in girls with outstanding temperament and appearance. Otherwise, how can the outside world describe it as "beauties like clouds". Beauty itself is a kind of resource. Because of the superior status of No. 1 Middle School, this resource radiates to other schools. In the past, Yu Xiao and his group of friends were not in a hurry to leave after school, and they could often enjoy the scenes of being stopped at the door and pursued.
It is inevitable that they would make comments while observing her, such as "This girl is not as good as so-and-so last week...", "This is the nth time that girl has come today. I guess he will hit a wall this time. How can Xiao Xiao be so easy to pursue?!", "In fact, don't mention it. Fan Xuan from Class 4, Grade 2 is so cute...", etc. However, most of the comments made by Yu Xiao's friends are not bold enough. They only dare to hesitate. Even if they like a girl, they will naturally retreat when they think of the strength of the pursuer.
But this time, the situation is completely reversed. Do you believe it
The reason was that a group of men and women, mostly girls, came to the school gate that day. Their behavior and temperament were completely different from those of No. 1 Middle School. Everyone had a heroic and confident spirit, as if they had crossed the Yalu River. Some people with sharp eyes or extensive social connections recognized that these people were from No. 2 Middle School. Among them was a girl who was recognized as the most beautiful girl in the class, named Lu Xiaolin. No. 2 Middle School was also located in the old city, and was considered a middle school adjacent to No. 1 Middle School, so the two sides had a great deal of information exchange.
At first, people didn't know why this group of people came. Until Cheng Ran walked out of the school gate after school, suddenly a few eloquent girls surrounded him and stopped him. They pointed at a girl sitting in the milk tea shop at the school gate and said something earnestly.
Cheng Ran looked towards the milk tea shop.
There was a girl in the store who was wearing a baseball cap, sneakers, tight casual pants, and a hoodie with her sleeves rolled up, revealing a delicate bracelet on her fair arm. She must be from a well-off family, which was very fashionable in that era. She held the straw in her milk tea cup, looked at Cheng Ran with her peach blossom eyes, smiled at him, and nodded slightly, which probably showed 80 to 90 percent of her charm.
Based on her experience, there hasn't been a boy who can resist yet.
This smile dazzled many people who were watching the excitement at the door, and the team accompanying the No. 2 Middle School was very strong, probably because they knew that the top student Lu Xiaolin planned to come to support her. This incident caused a sensation in the high school department of No. 2 Middle School to a certain extent. Of course, after today, everyone in No. 1 Middle School probably knew about this information.
Just when people were envious, jealous and resentful of Cheng Ran, and some of the girls from No. 2 Middle School who just came to watch the fun, and some who felt a little unfair for Lu Xiaolin were still looking at Cheng Ran, most of them wondering how he could have deserved it, Cheng Ran actually just stretched out his hand, waved towards Lu Xiaolin, gave a dazzling smile as a greeting, and then walked past them and walked away. No one could catch up with him!
The students from No. 1 Middle School who had come to watch the show and the students from No. 2 Middle School who had come to support were left with confused looks on their faces.
Lu Xiaolin's peach blossom-like smile was frozen in the air.
No one understood it at all.
What does it mean.
What does this mean? I nodded to you to invite you to come over and talk, to have a deeper communication. Do you think I'm just saying hello and leaving with an "ah!"
Do you think we came here just to say hello to you
What’s wrong with Cheng Ran!
This volume has a lot of plot. I have been thinking about the following plot repeatedly in the past three days. Anyway, I might as well start writing it. There is more today.
