Jiang Hongshao's appearance at Christmas made the friends who moved to Chengdu from the old Shanhai courtyard feel cordial and excited. Those distant things of Shanhai began to emerge in their minds. The girl who once visited the courtyard has now become the well-known "Brother Jiang" of No. 10 Middle School.
They once had a vocal teacher, who turned out to be a star. It's an experience that makes people feel magical when they talk about it.
They also have a boy who they have watched grow up. He finally "woke up" in the high school entrance examination and worked hard to get into No. 10 Middle School. He later became a dark horse and ranked among the top. What is even more incredible is the huge changes in his family...
"For people like us, we have to create a new account to play the online game "Spirit Realm", and we won't be able to play well in a short time. We can play online LAN games, such as StarCraft. Hong Shao, I tell you, I am a master in this area, and Cheng Ran is just a piece of crap in my opinion... But you should use the cheats to play on the computer first, just to get familiar with it. Hehe, you don't know that there are cheats in the game, right? Once you use them, you will become a god-like existence..."
Jiang Hongshao interrupted Yu Xiao's brave self-recommendation with a smile, "Show the money or the gathering posion istuff?... Actually, no need, I can do it. I've played it with Cheng Ran before."
Yu Xiao's expression gradually froze in embarrassment. He turned around and said to Cheng Ran with great resentment, "You are playing tricks on me behind my back!"
Everyone laughed. Yang Xia was wearing a light blue skirt with a hoodie on top. She had her hands in her coat pockets and a headband on her head, so her black hair hung down. The air seemed to smell the scent of shampoo. Cheng Ran looked at her and said, "I thought you wouldn't come."
When we made the plan to go out and play games on Christmas, I heard that Yang Xia hadn't made up her mind because she now lives with her cousin and sometimes she is not so free. Yao Beibei, who called her, said that from the tone of her response, she might not come. Unexpectedly, Yang Xia still showed up on time, and she had changed into new clothes, as if she had dressed up specially, and stood there gracefully.
Yang Xia glanced at Cheng Ran, "Did I say I couldn't come? Or, do you prefer that I don't come?"
There was no way to answer this question. Fortunately, after Yang Xia finished speaking, he went to talk to Liu Ying as if nothing had happened, linking his arm around hers, leaving him aside.
Cheng Ran thought about seeing Yang Xia standing outside Tianxingdao Hall looking at the model of the ornament she had placed in the window last night, but she did not mention it at the moment. Although the model was rare, it was not unique, so she might not have guessed that it was the one she gave to him.
What would happen if you knew about it? Would you feel that you don't value it enough and put it in a place like this instead of at home
When standing outside the Tianxing Dao Pavilion, Yao Beibei couldn't help but sigh. She had heard about the Tianxing Dao Pavilion in Chengdu when she was in Shanhai. It was even discussed in No. 1 Middle School. Those who had visited Chengdu went back and talked about it endlessly to everyone. The audience around her were very envious.
Yu Xiao added, "That's right. When I came to Chengdu, the first thing I went to was definitely Chuan Chuan Hotpot, and the second was this place!"
He then said to Cheng Ran, "It's not that I didn't call you. I have a cousin and some old friends here. They have been tempting me for a long time. So when I come, I have to meet them. I have to socialize." He looked very proud of his wide circle of friends.
After going up to the second floor, everyone was still full of praise for the interior decoration of Tianxingdao Hall. The spacious space, clear layers and design sense that were ahead of the times made people feel like they were walking into the future. Although computers did not seem to have much of a futuristic feel to Cheng Ran, these high-performance computers were already a very shocking sight to Yu Xiao and others.
What was the scale of the Internet cafes they had visited before? The slightly larger Internet cafe outside Shanhai No. 1 Middle School that they often visited had at most 20 computers, incandescent light bulbs, and the office desks were made of leather. It was also filled with smoke because many people smoked. This was still considered a good environment. Most of the other Internet cafes had only seven or eight computers, and a chandelier in a dark room of more than ten square meters was considered an Internet place. At that time, Internet users did not have too many requirements for the environment when surfing the Internet, so the Blue Speed Internet Cafe incident was a tragedy in this context.
The appearance of the second floor of Tianxing Gym is a benchmark at this time.
Listening to the endless praises, especially Yao Beibei's flattering expression, even Cheng Ran felt embarrassed. At this moment Jiang Hongshao looked at him and smiled coquettishly, as if she was trying to find out whether he had any secret thoughts.
Xie Feibai was already there. When they came in, Xie Feibai came forward. Yu Xiaolue felt a little strange that he was not sitting there playing computer in advance. Then he realized that his worries were unnecessary. Xie Feibai said something to the waiter, and someone came over to guide them to the seats that had been reserved earlier, and asked everyone what they were talking about.
When Xie Feibai and Jiang Hongshao's eyes met, they nodded to her. Meanwhile, Yao Beibei and Liu Ying kept staring at Xie Feibai. Xie Feibai was well-known, and even after he went to Rongwai, there were still legends about him. Facing Xie Feibai's politeness, the two of them suddenly became much more ladylike and gentle.
"So, Xie Feibai, you came here in advance to reserve a seat. I was worried about this. There are so many people here today..." Yao Beibei patted her chest, looking really worried and pitiful.
Xie Feibai didn't respond. At this time, the waiter also brought the water. Yang Xia took out his bag first and asked, "How much?"
The waiter looked at Xie Feibai, not knowing what to do. Cheng Ran then said to Yang Xia, "It's my shop. It doesn't cost money. Come and have fun."
A group of people responded and sat down. Yang Xia put away her bag and Yu Xiao picked up the pear juice in front of him. After a brief moment, Yang Xia raised his head again and looked at Cheng Ran in confusion.
Yu Xiao kept sucking water with the straw. Yao Beibei and Liu Ying stopped talking and looked at him cautiously.
"… What's the meaning?"
Xie Feibai, who never needed to explain his actions to others, looked at Cheng Ran in shock for a short while, and then spoke to the group of people in front of him for the first time, "This store was started by Cheng Ran, and I bought a stake, so this is our own territory."
He stared blankly at Cheng Ran and Xie Feibai, and finally heard Yu Xiao's voice, "Oh my god... ah!"
…
"The shop is really yours... So this Rongcheng Tianxingdaoguan that they're talking about is opened by you? You transferred here last year and did this?"
A large number of people were shocked to the point of their hearts pounding. Cheng Ran didn't want to explain before, but there was no point in hiding anything in front of this group of friends, so he told them everything and was prepared to face such questions. The questions didn't come from Yu Xiao, he was shocked, and he had already left his seat and looked around, just like when he went to Cheng Ran's house to look around and see if he could take home a few treasures. Now he was very satisfied with the layout of the Tianxing Dojo, and he wanted to hug the wall and lick it.
The ones who asked questions were Yao Beibei and Liu Ying.
The two of them moved here with their family and witnessed the whole process of the conflict between Cheng Ran and Wu Lei's group at Jincheng Art Palace. At that time, they just felt that it was because Cheng Ran's father was very powerful that Cheng Ran had risen in status and was indeed a little different, but the feeling they had were more of the traces and impressions of the past.
Until this moment, the changes and results of Cheng Ran's body have turned into an entity like this building and appeared in front of them.
"I didn't do it alone, I had help from others." Cheng Ran certainly didn't want to treat them like a monster and share the credit with them.
But in fact, there is no other way. Who would listen to this kind of explanation
No matter whether you did it yourself or not, the fact that you could think of such a thing, organize, manage, and accomplish such a thing, especially since they have heard of the reputation of Tianxingdao Pavilion in Shanhai... This is a very scary thing, okay!
"How much did it cost?" Yao Beibei asked with twinkling eyes.
"There is sponsorship, about one or two million." Cheng Ran said.
“…Oh, that’s quite a lot.” Liu Ying nodded.
More than a lot!
The two of them were actually thinking that the money was enough to buy several houses.
Yao Beibei nodded, "It's a lot... My aunt opened a hot pot restaurant last year. She decorated the place very well, with two floors, and she spent about 500,000 yuan."
"You... took out the money yourself?"
"It wasn't a one-time investment. I have an uncle who wanted to do this and paid the bulk of the money. I provided some planning and suggestions..."
Everyone asked questions here and there, and in the end they were still shocked, surprised, and unbelievable. They didn't even have much mood to play games. But in the end everyone still came to play, and turned on the computers one after another. Yang Xia's machine had some problems, so Cheng Ran went to help take a look.
Yang Xia gave up her chair and stood beside. Cheng Ran was adjusting the settings, feeling something, and turned around, just in time to meet Yang Xia's eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate the abyss.
Then she looked away and said casually, "It's not easy to open a store like this..."
"Not bad." Cheng Ran turned around and smiled, then thought of Yang Xia's usual nagging, and immediately added, "It didn't affect my studies."
Yang Xia nodded, and her obedience surprised Cheng Ran.
Then she added, "You've always loved to play, but I didn't expect that you could expand your ideas into such interesting designs and concepts... You must have put a lot of effort into it."
"I guess so." Cheng Ran smiled.
Yang Xia's gaze returned to Cheng Ran, eyes flickering, "Thank you."
Cheng Ran was stunned. What was he thanking for
Because this camera is next to the window, a ray of sunlight shines on the woman in the blue dress, bright and spring-like.
"Thank you for building a palace. And the space battleship I gave you can be housed in the most conspicuous place in this palace. It seems that you... still attach great importance to it."
