Ji Junxing has been living in the Lin family these days and has gradually gotten used to the life of a farmer.
Early in the morning, the sounds of roosters crowing and dogs barking woke him up from his sleep. Because Lin Yaohua and Jiang Ying came back late, they didn't get to plant the rice this season. They renovated the two small plots of land in front and behind their house and prepared to plant some green peppers and beans.
Jiang Yingchao and his family are thinking about reopening their business, so they have to restock their goods.
The glass on the cabinets at home was broken into pieces when someone came to cause trouble. There was no time to replace them, and the whole family left their hometown.
Now I'm back and have replaced everything with new ones.
Lin Yaohua checked the size of his cabinet and prepared to go to town to buy some glass and install it himself. Lin Xi was afraid that the glass would be damaged on the way, so she wanted to accompany him to town.
When Ji Junxing heard this, he immediately said, "I want to go."
"Why are you so clingy?" Lin Xi whispered and glanced at him.
Ji Junxing gave her a cold look, and Lin Xi finally didn't dare to tease her anymore.
The Lin family has a motorized tricycle, which was previously used by Lin Yaohua to transport goods, and this time it was used to install glass. Before leaving, Lin Xi specially found two straw hats and personally put them on Ji Junxing.
"Don't move." Seeing him reaching out to pull his hat, Lin Xi immediately pressed down his hand.
Ji Junxing said in a muffled voice: "I don't like wearing this thing."
"No, the sun is too strong and will get you tanned." Lin Xi looked at his cheeks which were obviously a little red and said with concern.
Ji Junxing didn't care about this. He said, "It doesn't matter if a man is black."
Lin Xi coaxed him, "But I just like your white appearance."
Although the word "little white face" seems to have a bit of a derogatory meaning, to be honest, a fair complexion can hide three kinds of ugliness, and this is also true for boys. Ji Junxing was born good-looking, and his skin was rare among boys. It was not an exaggeration to say that he had red lips and white teeth.
Lin Xi just likes his clean and refreshing look.
As for masculinity, he is still young and has a long future, so there is no need to rush.
Arriving in the town, Lin Yaohua went to the glass shop. The owner was probably an acquaintance of his. When he saw him, he was very enthusiastic and brought him a stool and gave him cigarettes. Fortunately, Lin Yaohua didn't smoke, so he waved his hand to refuse.
Unexpectedly, the boss looked at the motorized tricycle and saw Lin Xi and Ji Junxing sitting there. He whispered, "Who is this your daughter and?"
"Lin Xi's boyfriend is coming to our house to play during the summer vacation." Lin Yaohua said with a smile, and did not hesitate to acknowledge Ji Junxing in front of others.
The boss said enviously, "I really don't know how you educate your children. They are all students from Tsinghua University. Is Lin Xi's boyfriend also one of them?"
Lin Yaohua nodded with a smile: "Yes, they are classmates in school. They were directly recommended to Tsinghua University."
"What is admission by recommendation?" The boss's child went to work after graduating from junior high school, so he really didn't understand these things.
Lin Yaohua immediately said, “He was accepted by Tsinghua University without any exam.”
The boss looked at Ji Junxing in surprise.
They spoke loudly, and Lin Xi and Ji Junxing heard it clearly. Lin Xi said apologetically: "Don't mind it, my dad is not bragging on purpose, he just thinks you are very good."
Ji Junxing shook his head. He didn’t mind at all.
It was just that it was the first time that he was praised so directly and proudly by his elders in front of others.
His parents are the type who won't praise him in public. On the one hand, Ji Xuanheng thinks that what he does is what he should do, and on the other hand, they are a little proud of their status.
Unexpectedly, it was Lin Xi's father who exaggerated generously in front of others, even with a hint of showing off.
Just like he is also Lin Yaohua's child.
The boss chatted with Lin Yaohua for a while and started cutting glass for him. Lin Yaohua asked Lin Xi and Ji Junxing to get out of the car and stand in the shade to avoid the sun.
After Lin Xi stopped, she looked at the thin layer of sweat beads on Ji Junxing's forehead and reached out to lift up his hat.
Unexpectedly, Ji Junxing pressed down the brim of his hat and whispered, "Don't move."
"Aren't you hot?" Lin Xi asked with concern. Ning City is in the south, but the summer in the south can sometimes be so hot that it can burn people to a crisp.
Ji Junxing pursed his lips and said calmly: "Otherwise you will get tanned."
Seeing that he actually remembered what she said, Lin Xi quickly said, "Take it off. I don't mind your blackness."
At this time, Lin Yaohua went to the nearby small supermarket to buy two popsicles. Lin Xi took a look and found that they were red bean popsicles. She picked them up happily and said with a smile: "There is still this now. I loved eating it the most when I was a child."
When Lin Xi saw him holding the popsicle bag, she thought he didn't like eating this kind of popsicle.
After all, he probably has never eaten a popsicle that costs only 50 cents.
She reached out to take it and said with a smile, "If you don't like it, give it all to me."
"Who said I don't like it?" Ji Junxing opened the package and took a big bite of the popsicle. However, the popsicle had just been taken out of the freezer and was already cold. He took such a big bite that he shivered all over.
Lin Xi laughed out loud as she watched him make a rare fool of himself.
Lin Yaohua stood aside, watching the two children making noise with a smile on his face.
While eating red bean popsicles, Lin Xi said, "When I was a kid, our family also sold this, but my mom was stingy and didn't want to give it to us."
Speaking of this, even Lin Yaohua fell into memories.
He smiled and said, "Lin Xi and her brother..." When mentioning Lin Zheng, Lin Yaohua's tone was obviously paused, but after a moment, he continued, "They are the most sensible two people in the village. When other children want to eat popsicles, they come to our door and start crying and rolling on the ground, and their parents have to buy them. The two of them will guard the freezer and will not take anything without permission. It was only when I secretly took some for them in the evening while her mother was making dinner that they could eat."
When Lin Xi and his friends were young, their material conditions were incomparable to what they are now.
Jiang Ying was the kind of thrifty person who always coaxed Lin Xi to eat popsicles every day, at most every two or three days. But Lin Yaohua didn't care about that and secretly gave them popsicles every day.
"Actually, your mother knows everything." Lin Yaohua thought about the past again. Now time seemed to have gradually healed the pain, allowing him to recall the past and think about the days when Lin Zheng was still around.
Because of the pain, I didn’t even dare to mention Lin Zheng’s name before.
Now, when he thinks back to the past, he doesn't think it was all bitter.
After all, in this life, he and Lin Zheng had been father and son.
Lin Xi stayed at home for a few days before she had to go back to Beijing with Ji Junxing. Because the early stage financing had to be formally put on the agenda. Because of the amazing performance of "Xiao Zheng Doctor" at the Global Medical and Pharmaceutical Conference, Chen Mo contacted several Beijing tertiary hospitals, and they were all willing to serve as early trial sites for "Xiao Zheng Doctor".
As work matters were pressing, Lin Xi and Ji Junxing booked flights back to Beijing.
Before leaving, Jiang Ying insisted that Lin Yaohua take them to the airport, but because the journey was too long and the motorized tricycle could not go that far, Jiang Ying gave up.
After returning to Beijing from Ning City, the others have already returned to school.
Ji Junxing specifically borrowed a lawyer from Ji Xuanheng. After all, financing is a big deal. How to protect the interests of the entire team and the high degree of control over the company. Even if he accepts financing, he hopes that the company will be led by him.
However, Bai Jun is not in Beijing recently, so he sent someone to discuss financing with them.
In order to ensure their founding team's control over the company, Ji Junxing discussed with Chen Mo and decided to raise $5 million from Bojun. More than 30 million is not a small amount for a company seeking financing for the first time. However, they all have confidence in "Xiao Zheng Doctor".
When Ji Junxing told the other party about this decision, the other party quickly replied that Mr. Bai would come to Beijing next week and wanted to talk to him in person then.
There happened to be a charity dinner this weekend, and Ji Xuanheng and Wen Xuan were originally going to attend.
Unexpectedly, Ji Xuanheng had to go to Hong Kong at short notice, and Wen Xuan didn't want to go alone, but she had already promised the person who invited her. So she called Ji Junxing to go with her.
"Wouldn't it be better not to go?" Ji Junxing said uninterested.
Wen Xuan: "How can this be? Why don't you bring Lin Xi with you?"
"She doesn't like this kind of occasion." Ji Junxing said.
In the end, Ji Junxing agreed to accompany Wen Xuan to the dinner.
Last time he took Lin Xi to the studio, this time they came home. After Wen Xuan dressed up, she went downstairs and saw Ji Junxing wearing a well-fitting and upright suit and evening gown. She reached out her hand to his chest and patted it gently, "Which lucky girl took my Ah Xing away."
"Is it the little girl named Lin Xi?" Seeing Ji Junxing glanced at her, Wen Xuan said the next sentence slowly.
Ji Junxing chuckled, indicating his satisfaction.
This dinner was hosted by an organization that cares about children with leukemia. Wen Xuan has always been open to charity. She had previously taken Ji Luchi to visit children with heart disease.
Because Ji Luchi had such a serious illness when he was a child.
At the beginning of the dinner, there was an auction today, and some noble ladies donated their jewelry and collections. Wen Xuan also prepared a set of jewelry. She was afraid that the price would be too low, so she told Ji Junxing to bid when the time came.
Unexpectedly, not long after the dinner started, Ji Junxing received a text message from Wen Hansheng, asking him to come out of the banquet hall.
When he went out, he saw Wen Hansheng standing at the door waiting for him.
"Uncle, why are you here?" Ji Junxing asked curiously.
Wen Hansheng pulled the tie around his neck impatiently and whispered, "Bai Jun wants to talk to you about financing. He's in the restaurant next door now."
When Ji Junxing followed Wen Hansheng over, he found that the huge western restaurant in the hotel was empty.
There was only a place near the window where a man was sitting.
A thick candle was lit on the pure white tablecloth, emitting a faint light.
When the two walked over, Ji Junxing was about to sit down on the chair, but Wen Han said calmly: "I'll sit over here."
Bai Jun, who stood up and was about to pull out a chair for him, was not angry when he saw that he was rejected. He smiled and sat down calmly.
"I know everything you want." As Ji Junxing sat down, Bai Jun looked at him.
Ji Junxing asked, "What's your opinion?"
"Do you think five million dollars is enough?"
Ji Junxing looked at him with his dark eyes.
The man opposite was wearing an exquisite dark shirt. He didn't look particularly delicate, but the excited look on his face made him look very special.
Bai Jun pointed out the window and said, "Do you know how many people in this city are like you, eyeing the AI industry? They all aspire to become the next technological revolutionary."
"When the opportunity comes, you take out your reckless spirit and run at full speed to quickly occupy the entire market with your technology. It doesn't matter if there is serious homogeneity. You will eat them up. You will be the number one brand."
"What you need is ten million dollars."
Ji Junxing has been better than others since he was young. In his world, he is the only one who can shock others.
At this moment, he was shocked by Bai Jun like never before.
Wen Hansheng stared at the dazzling night view outside the window that was like the Milky Way. This man had a kind of arrogance and arrogance when he was twenty years old.
The passage of time has never changed the pride in his heart.
Ji Junxing had been gone for a long time, but Wen Xuan didn't care. She chatted with the lady at the same table who was familiar to her.
After a while, everyone at the dinner party was no longer confined to their seats, but chatting around. Wen Xuan was sitting at her seat, halfway through the conversation, when someone came over with a girl.
"Mrs. Ji." The woman called out in a flattering tone.
Wen Xuan nodded, and the woman smiled and said, "Lin Xue, didn't you say you liked Madam Ji's work? Why are you silent when someone comes to her?"
Wen Xuan is a sculpture artist and her works are sold at very high prices in China.
However, her output was extremely low, and Ji Xuanheng doted on his wife, so even if Wen Xuan occasionally donated her works, he would buy them back at a high price.
Wen Xuan often blamed him as a result, saying that people who didn't know would think that she was deliberately driving up the prices of her own works.
"This is Song Linxue, Miss Song, and her father is Mr. Song Hesong." The woman introduced Song Linxue.
Wen Xuan nodded slightly.
However, Song Linxue seemed to really like her work and actually talked to Wen Xuan about it in detail.
"Come to think of it, my father and I met Mr. Ji and your son at the banquet last time." As they chatted, Song Linxue said with a little surprise.
Wen Xuan was slightly stunned, and said softly: "Do you know Ah Xing?"
"Ji Junxing and I are more than just acquaintances." Song Linxue said deliberately. Wen Xuan smiled quietly, as if waiting for her next words.
Seeing that Wen Xuan didn't look surprised, Song Linxue was even more surprised. She then explained, "I have always been optimistic about Ji Junxing's project, but unfortunately he has too high standards and doesn't think highly of our small investment company at all."
"The Song family's investment company can't be said to be small." Wen Xuan followed her words.
Song Linxue seemed to remember something and said, "I also saw some of the rumors online a few days ago. I was very angry at the time. Nowadays, these netizens slander others at will without any real evidence."
"Those things." Wen Xuan was not the kind of person who looked shrewd and calculated everything. She looked like a noble lady who was well protected by her husband and lived a leisurely and comfortable life. She said softly, "It's all in the past."
"Yeah, that's right. Fortunately, it's all over. I also know Lin Xi, and I think it's really not easy for her. With her family's situation, she was able to get into Tsinghua University. She is very strong and inspiring."
Yes, it’s inspirational. It means that Lin Xi’s family situation was not good, so it’s inspirational that she was admitted to Tsinghua University.
Wen Xuan looked at her with a smile and did not refute.
Song Linxue kept chatting with her for a long time, and waited until Ji Junxing came back. She stood up only when she saw Ji Junxing.
"Sit in your seat and chat with your aunt. You don't mind, do you?" Song Linxue showed an innocent and beautiful smile.
Ji Junxing said calmly: "Whatever you want."
However, Song Linxue still said goodbye and left. Wen Xuan did not try to persuade her to stay and just said something polite.
After everyone left, Ji Junxing did not return to his seat.
Wen Xuan glanced at him and whispered, "Son, come here. I want to talk to you."
Ji Junxing lowered his head slightly, and Wen Xuan leaned close to his ear and spoke as if to complain.
"It's her. She just kept saying bad things about Lin Xi."
Ji Junxing: “…”
The author has something to say: Wen Xuan: Son, I hate white lotus the most
Master: Then why did you talk to her for so long
Wen Xuan: This is the only way to know what she is up to.
