In mid-December, Xu Tingsheng rented three rooms on the second floor of a private house near the river in Xishan Town. Two rooms were used by himself and Fu Cheng, and the other room was planned as a guest room. Of course, it was mainly for Huang Yaming. prepare.
The owner of the private house does not live in Xishan Town. Usually, the rent is collected by a couple who live on the first floor. It is said that they run a small business in Xishan Town.
Xu Tingsheng reached a verbal agreement with the landlord on the phone. He could clearly feel that the landlord who got rich overnight because of the land acquisition of Xishan University City didn't care much about this small amount of money. The combined monthly rent for 3 houses 750 yuan, the two parties did not even sign the rental contract.
The landlord means, if you want to move out, just don’t pay next month’s rent, and then, don’t worry about me.
Xu Tingsheng was also very happy.
When he went to pay the rent for the first time, Xu Tingsheng discovered unexpectedly that the young couple living on the first floor were the proprietress of the wonton stall whom he had met last time. He told Xu Tingsheng and the others the whole body when they were drunk. The lad with the scar.
When Fang Yunyao came over, this young man who had experienced a lot of hardships gave Fu Cheng a "God Assist".
The proprietress who looks like little Song Jia really has a good word in her name, her name is Tao Jiaxiu, and the young man's name is Zhong Wusheng.
Although he still lived in the school most of the time, he occasionally went back to the river bank residence and happened to see the interaction between the young couple. Xu Tingsheng knew that they were really affectionate, but life was a bit hard.
The two sides got to know each other better, and occasionally when Xu Tingsheng, Fu Cheng or Huang Yaming went back to live in the riverside houses, Huang Yaming would knock on the door of the couple's bedroom in a mischievous manner, telling Zhong Wusheng, "Don't make too much noise tonight, the floor is not well insulated. There are still three bachelors living upstairs, please be considerate and sympathetic."
Then Zhong Wusheng would rush out of the room, easily subdue Huang Yaming, and tortured him until Tao Jiaxiu came out to reprimand him: "Let go, mess around, you are not a serious person, be careful to hurt others."
Only Zhong Wusheng would be obedient and obediently let go.
The last time Zhong Wusheng said a word when he was drunk: In fact, I can beat five of them by myself, do you believe it
Xu Tingsheng originally thought he was lying when he was drunk, but now it seems that he really has to believe it.
Looking at Zhong Wusheng's strength and skill every time he subdued Huang Yaming, it might be really easy to deal with three or five people.
Zhong Wusheng's original impression on Xu Tingsheng was very good. With the addition of skill, Xu Tingsheng was more interested in making friends. He thought that if Xu's father's business really develops at the planned pace, sooner or later he will need such a person by his side. people.
As for the success or failure of this matter, it all depends on Zhong Wusheng and Tao Jiaxiu's own wishes. At least in that case, Tao Jiaxiu will not have to work so hard every day as he does now.
In the days that followed, Xu Tingsheng would take a few people to sit at the proprietress's wonton stall from time to time, and chat with Zhong Wusheng, who had been doing bad business, for a while.
Obviously, Zhong Wusheng is really not a material for setting up a street stall to do business. Sometimes he bargains with customers, and throws his clothes on the stall angrily before he can say a few words.
Except for Xu Tingsheng, no one can eat wontons so frequently, so Xu Tingsheng sometimes goes with his roommates, sometimes Huang Yaming, Fu Cheng, Song Ni, and sometimes Fang Yuqing.
In fact, during the hot topic of "Samsara Band", the person Xu Tingsheng was most worried about was Fang Cheng, the goblin. After all, Fang Cheng was the only outsider who knew the inside story. In her own words, she had grasped Xu Tingsheng's handle, and was ready to threaten Xu Tingsheng with this at any time.
But these days she was surprisingly calm, she only called Xu Tingsheng once and asked if Apple had come to play recently, after learning that Apple hadn't come, she didn't say much, just said that next time Apple came over, remember to ask her to have dinner with her.
Xu Tingsheng didn't know whether to be thankful or worried. Fang Cheng's interest in Apple was obviously greater than his own.
The person who really got in touch with Xu Tingsheng more and more was Fang Yuqing. He was a very strange person. He was arrogant and obnoxious in one aspect. He usually looked like he didn't care about anything.
However, he also has another side. He is bold and shameless. According to him, "I only treat people like this. Xu Tingsheng, you should be lucky."
Xu Tingsheng said, "Please get out of here."
Fang Yuqing said: "Yu Qing asked me to hang out with you more, and my sister also asked me to hang out with you more. It's even rarer. My buddy is willing to hang out with you. You say how honored you are."
Xu Tingsheng said: "Brother, you are already in your junior year, aren't you busy? Don't you think about internships to find a job?"
Fang Yuqing said: "What the hell, I'm looking for nothing... Anyway, I have to follow my dad's wishes. If he likes to arrange it, let him arrange it."
Xu Tingsheng said, "I can't communicate normally with the second generation of officials."
Fang Yuqing said: "What kind of family do I count as the second generation of officials? At home, I am similar to being adopted, and have a lower status than the family dog... The real second generation in our family is actually my sister, and I am also the one who is in the second generation circle. Sister... that group of people, on the surface, are all in the same set, the women are dignified, and the men are gentlemen, but in fact, all of them are fucking scheming... I am not used to that kind of circle, and I can't play it well. "
Xu Tingsheng said: "Then you shouldn't hang out with a poor boy like me. If you have nothing to do, go to a nightclub with your pig and dog friends. Isn't it more interesting than sitting here with me and eating wontons?"
Fang Yuqing grinned: "Going back to the nightclub, you say that, as if Yu Qing and my sister can't kill people... Besides, I just told Brother Zhong that I would learn a few tricks from him, don't you think so?" Make trouble for me."
Fang Yuqing and Zhong Wusheng were also quite right-tempered, and the two started to study martial arts moves, while Xu Tingsheng sat aside and ate wontons quietly.
In fact, Xu Tingsheng didn't know the specific situation of Fang's family very well. Fang Yuqing didn't take the initiative to say so, so it was difficult for him to ask, and it was even more difficult for him to inquire about it openly and secretly.
After getting along with him during this period, Xu Tingsheng has begun to understand Fang Yuqing. Like these things, if you plan to inquire about him or try to trick him, it's better to ask him directly. Nothing to do.
How could a person with a monstrous sister be really an idiot.
Xu Tingsheng didn't ask, he only knew that the reason why Fang Cheng and Fang Yuqing appeared in Yanzhou University, a university that was completely inferior to their status, was entirely because the old man of the Fang family, their grandfather, retired and lived here.
Also, Yanzhou is the foundation of the Fang family, and most of the people who went out of the Fang family started from Yanzhou.
All other information needs to be inferred by Xu Tingsheng himself through the details of his daily observations:
First, Fang Yuqing's father should be more than one male in his generation. Mr. Fang will inevitably have tendencies among several children. Therefore, Fang Cheng and Fang Yuqing have another purpose in staying in Yanzhou, to replace their children. The father competed for favor in front of the old man.
Second, Fang Cheng's choice of staying in school is a compromise choice. Universities are different from primary and secondary schools. From an administrative point of view, they are closer to officialdom. The administrative level of school leaders is not low. I saw a situation where a leader of a certain university was directly transferred to a leading cadre of an administrative organ.
Because Fang Cheng is a woman, staying in the university is a plan for her to advance and retreat. She can develop into the officialdom in the future. choose.
…
Since he went home during the 10.1 holiday and learned about the current situation of the Xu family, Xu Tingsheng had to admit that his utilitarianism was becoming more and more serious.
After rebirth, Xu Tingsheng's thinking has a relatively extreme point: he hopes and is used to being able to completely control the situation, and calmly deal with any possible crises and injuries.
At the stage of high school before, he could rely on his own ability to push Dad Xu to make a comeback, ensure the progress of Huang Yaming and Fu Cheng's grades, protect Song Ni and Wu Yuewei from harm, and even have the ability to prevent Fang Yunyao's tragedy...
As a result, he lives confidently and feels at his fingertips in almost everything.
But now, Dad Xu has gone too far, he has already let the situation out of Xu Tingsheng's control, or in other words, he has gone beyond the scope of "protection" that Xu Tingsheng currently possesses.
This kind of transcendence is all-round. First, from the perspective of money, Xu Tingsheng can't handle the seven million fundraising itself. Second, when Dad Xu grows bigger and bigger with the seven million, what will happen next? Perhaps what they are facing is no longer just shopping malls, there are more complicated and terrifying things waiting for the Xu family.
Therefore, Xu Tingsheng began to panic.
There are only two solutions to panic: money and power.
From the perspective of money, Xu Tingsheng has just started. Although the speed of making money is not fast enough, it is not slow. Moreover, he is looking for more opportunities and a direction that really suits him.
"Potential" is a net, and on the net are people, that is, contacts, and Xu Ting's lack of "connections" is extremely scarce.
The Xu family came from the countryside, and the eighteen generations of their ancestors were mud-legged. Therefore, Xu Tingsheng felt that he had nowhere to use his energy, because even if he wanted to cling to it, he couldn't find any big trees when he looked around.
Now, Fang Yuqing, Fang Cheng, and the Fang family are the most important connections that Xu Tingsheng may have gained so far.
He seemed to get along with Fang Yuqing casually, but in fact he was deliberately managing and guiding him all the time, otherwise, Fang Yuqing would not have liked to hang out with Xu Tingsheng out of nowhere.
This may be utilitarian, but in order to be able to protect his family, and even more people who may need to be protected in the future, Xu Tingsheng has no choice but also has a clear conscience.
