"Thank you so much then." Cheng Ran said.
"It's just a piece of cake." Xie Feibai said generously.
Cheng Ran was grinning in his heart.
Cheng Ran and Xie Feibai chatted from time to time, and the atmosphere was lively. They were all young people, and the mood quickly heated up as they talked and laughed while eating hot pot.
However, during this process, those new faces present today, whom Cheng Ran had not recognized before, were also observing him silently.
Cheng Ran naturally didn't know that Xie Feibai was a devilish figure in Rongwai, forcing all the people in Rongwai to restrain their edge in front of him.
All this was not because of his father Xie Houming's well-known reputation. In fact, even on the first day of registration, when there were all kinds of luxury cars at the gate of Rongwai, Xie Houming seemed to have forgotten about his own son. He did not arrange a car for him to show that he was different, and he did not even ask about it. Xie Feibai was wrapped in a hoodie from beginning to end, riding a mountain bike into the school in the traffic at the school gate.
He studied at Rongwai for a year with this solitary personality. Life was relatively peaceful for a while. But when he was in his second year of high school, a girl who was recognized as the school beauty wrote him a love letter. At that time, the girl invited a group of friends to wait for him at the entrance of the teaching building. As a result, Xie Feibai did not even answer the letter.
This incident suddenly broke out, causing a group of people who had been pursuing that girl unsuccessfully to stop him in the playground in the afternoon.
The boy who was pursuing that girl was quite famous and from a wealthy family. He probably wanted to vent his anger at being rejected by girls on him, so he gathered seven people to "negotiate" with him on the playground.
Because the matter was known to everyone, there were many people who came to the Rongwai playground to watch the fun after school.
The other party brought seven people and thought they could beat up this tall and strong guy in front of them, so they didn't rush to attack him and planned to weaken his spirit first. When they were arrogantly provoking him, according to the description of the onlookers at the time, Xie Feibai only said one sentence from beginning to end, "Don't talk nonsense, act quickly."
The opponent obviously didn't expect that he would hit a snag after all this preparation, and was knocked over head-on by him as soon as he started to fight in anger. The crowd watching the excitement at that time only saw that he was fearless and fought and retreated, with agile steps, always facing only one person, and then bent his back to block, dodged and threw a punch, the sound of punches hitting flesh was everywhere, and the sound of punches hitting flesh echoed in the playground after school.
The rich kid who led the group was knocked down twice. Those who were called by him to come here were either from a good family or had good grades. They were not really people who only knew how to fight bravely in a bad environment. Xie Feibai was tall and strong. He had been trained in fighting since he was a child. He had a very stable mentality. After something happened at home, he actually learned Sanda for a period of time. He had no shortcomings in his techniques. Therefore, when he fought one against eight, the most aggressive and fiercest ones in front of him were often stunned by his face. The three people who lagged behind lost their courage in the end and became peacemakers who persuaded the two sides to stop fighting.
In short, in the end, Xie Feibai looked at the group of people who had either fallen to the ground or had already cowered in fear. He waited for a while, making sure that no one dared to step forward to get hit, then he buttoned his hat, zipped up his jacket and left.
The breaking point of this incident was not the exchange of gunfire on the playground, but the fact that the father of the rich boy who was beaten black and blue was the CEO of Proton Electronics. His family was said to be furious and threatened to bring the student who beat him to justice. During that time, everyone in Rongwai knew about this incident and thought that the boy who acted alone might have stirred up a hornet's nest of power and influence. It was not known how he would be dealt with, but it was probably not going to end well, and everyone was speculating.
The parents of the rich boy who was beaten came to the school to make trouble twice, and seemed to have put pressure on the school through district officials they knew, but in the end, nothing happened. Moreover, the school leaders investigated and said that it was their son who led the group to fight and was the first to start the fight, which was a violation of school rules and regulations. So if anyone was going to deal with anything, they could only deal with that group of people.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the wind was blowing in the wrong direction. When the matter was still at a stalemate, the son of the Proton Electronics CEO suddenly stopped coming to school. Later, news came that the son had already dropped out of Rongwai, and the CEO had simply sent his son abroad. The school then issued a statement saying that the other party had violated school rules and was being expelled.
Many people were puzzled as to why the other party, who had been unyielding at first, suddenly backed off. As a result, some news came out one after another, exposing the situation of Xie Fei and Bai's family.
This incident has become a very loud news in Rongwai. Many people can't help but feel that there are people out there. After all, if it weren't for this incident, who would know that this student, who firstly doesn't have a luxury car to pick him up, and secondly doesn't do anything out of the ordinary, likes to wear headphones and a hat to cover his head, and rides a mountain bike to school, has a father who is the helmsman of the provincial investment aircraft carrier that is often reported in the newspapers about how many billions of yuan has been invested and financed this year and how many national and provincial projects have been implemented.
No wonder the CEO of Proton Electronics sent his son abroad without a second thought. Judging from the other party's thinking, he was probably worried that it would not look good if his hands and feet were broken in the future.
In fact, most of the people invited today are friends of Lu Ling, Ma Hongyu and others. If every circle has the most powerful core figure, then Xie Feibai is definitely worthy of being among his friends.
According to Lu Ling and others, the person they invited today was the major shareholder of Xie Feibai's store, a person that Xie Feibai might even rely on. The downfall of the Lei Wei Gang, which is now being talked about in Rongcheng, is inextricably linked to the man in front of them and their Fulong Company.
So when everyone saw Cheng Ran today, on the one hand they felt proud to have made it to the top, but on the other hand they were also reserved and cautious. Later they discovered that Cheng Ran also loved to joke, and was just like an ordinary person when they got along with him, not putting any pressure on them, so they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I also feel that today's gathering will probably add a lot of topics for them to talk about in front of outsiders in the future.
…
After the harmonious meal, everyone was reluctant to end it and wanted to go to the karaoke club to continue. Cheng Ran said he would go back first and would not participate. He did have to go back to review for the final exam, and Xie Feibai was not going either. The rest of the group decided to go sing in the evening. When they went downstairs, they asked Tian Youyi to pick up the car, which was parked on the side of the road. When he was backing out of the parking space, he was suddenly hit by a bicycle that had ridden past, and there was a dent on the body of the car caused by the steel front wheel guard of the large frame bicycle.
As soon as Tian Youyi got out of the car, he started cursing. This car belonged to his father. His father had told him to be careful when he drove out. But his father's beloved car was scratched by someone. How could he explain it when he got back
The person riding the bike was a fat girl wearing the school uniform of No. 10 Middle School. Cheng Ran seemed to have seen her before. She should be in the same grade.
They all arrived at the door at this time, and as a result, something happened to Tian Youyi on the other side of the street. He was anxious and said harsh words. The girl was crying over there, obviously not knowing what to do.
"What do you think we should do? You have no money. You can't call your parents to come over. I can't report to the mission if I kill my dad's car and go back..." Tian Youyi was getting annoyed. A large group of people came over here. Someone asked the girl to call home, but the girl just held on to her bicycle, crying and shaking her head.
The atmosphere was a bit tense for a while, and suddenly a passerby came over and asked, "What's going on?"
When the other party said this, his eyes first glanced at the girl and Tian Youyi, then passed through Xie Feibai and the others, and stopped on Cheng Ran.
Zhang Yu was still dressed in the Zhongshan suit, standing in front of the girl. This girl was a student in another class he taught. She lived in a village near Taiping Garden in the north. She studied very hard, but her family was poor. Her parents sold vegetables in the vegetable market. She often rode this bicycle to transport things, but who knew that she would hit a private car.
Cheng Ran didn't expect that Zhang Yu would pass by, but this place was very close to the teachers' dormitory of No. 10 Middle School.
Zhang Yu's eyes just glanced away from Cheng Ran. After asking about the matter clearly, Zhang Yu asked, "How are you going to deal with it?"
Tian Youyi had already called his father at this time. His father asked about the details of the situation. Zhang Yu gestured to him to call his father. Zhang Yu explained the situation and stated that she was just a student and that he was his teacher, and was representing her.
Tian Youyi's father finally negotiated a price with him. Zhang Yu hung up the phone and turned to the girl and said, "I've told the other party that 800 yuan is enough. Do you have that money?"
The girl kept shaking her head.
Zhang Yu frowned and said, "Then I'll help you with it first."
The choking girl grabbed Zhang Yu's sleeve, raised her head with red eyes, and said, "Teacher Zhang, I can't pay you back, and I can't tell my parents... Otherwise I can't continue my studies... My brother is getting married, and I'm already a burden... If I tell them that I've gotten into such a big trouble... They won't let me continue my studies, and will make me drop out of school to work..."
Zhang Yu paused for a moment, pulled her hand off his sleeve, and began to take money out of his pants. He only had about 500 yuan on him. He took the small stack of money in his pants, looked at Tian Youyi, and said, "I don't have enough here. Otherwise, wait for me and I'll go back to get it. Or you can come with me?"
Tian Youyi said, "How can I go with you? Just get it yourself."
Cheng Ran, who had been watching the whole thing from the side, thought about it and said, "How about this, I'll pay for it."
Everyone turned to look at him, and Xie Feibai asked, "Do you know him, classmate?"
Cheng Ran said, "That's about right."
Zhang Yu glanced at Cheng Ran, nodded, put the money in his hand away, and said, "I'll give it to you when school starts."
Tian Youyi was stunned for a moment, his face hesitant, and finally looked at Xie Feibai and said, "Brother Ran, your classmate... In this case, I'll talk to my dad, he has a friend in the repair shop to help, it's okay."
Cheng Ran shook his head, "It's as much as it should be."
Tian Youyi was still about to say something polite. In front of Xie Feibai and Cheng Ran, he dared to say that his father wouldn't say anything if he did this. At most, he would be scolded for being careless, but in the end, it was just a scolding, so it was worth it.
Zhang Yu said to Tian Youyi, "I have already discussed with your father. The car is damaged, and this price is about the same. He said he would pay for it, and you should ask him for it... Because I will give him the money later. So this is the compensation we give you, you should keep it."
After saying that, Zhang Yu helped the girl hold the faucet, and walked slowly, followed by the girl.
Cheng Ran looked at his back and thought that this octopus was really unpleasant because he couldn't even say a polite word.
Sorry, I originally planned to update earlier, but when I thought about it, I thought about it too much.
