Tao Yingqi stayed in the training center all afternoon, during which employees came to work overtime one after another. She was curious: "You have a lot of work, and you are required to work overtime during the Chinese New Year?"
Fu Er pursed his lips and smiled, and then told her the amount of the red envelope.
Tao Yingqi was taken aback when he heard that: "Is it true?"
Good guy, Boss Jiang is generous enough, this is almost half a month's salary for her.
She teaches in an experimental elementary school. If she goes back to her hometown for the New Year, everyone will be envious when she chats with her.
"Public food is good! My son has been taking the exam for three years, hey, it's not good to think about it, he won't pass the exam!"
"Really, earning a lot of money and being respected by people is much better than us farming and moving bricks! Yingzi is doing well!"
Tao Yingqi has been influenced by this concept for a long time, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.
Today, when I turned around and saw so many people happily coming to work overtime during the Chinese New Year, I felt that I was a little behind the times.
It turns out... can it still be like this
Before leaving, she thought over and over again: "I don't need to let Boss Jiang and the others know about my coming here today."
"Okay sister," Fu Er took out his mobile phone neatly: "Let's change the number and treat it as a friend?"
Tao Yingqi looked at a straightforward and sassy person, but he was always timid in his heart. He had few friends on weekdays, and they were all well-behaved colleagues.
She froze for a moment, then smiled.
"Okay, we'll be friends from now on."
At the same time, Ji Linqiu was immersed in writing lesson plans in the study when there were two knocks on the door.
"Please come in."
Ji Guoshen walked in unhurriedly, bending over to watch what he was typing on the computer.
"Are you still going to teach math?"
"Teaching is fun," Ji Linqiu stepped aside, "What do you want?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll just take a look."
Ji Guoshen moved a chair by himself and watched him work intently.
About ten minutes later, Ji Linqiu was still busy, so he opened another tc casually, looked at the screen and said calmly: "Mom found me another blind date, right?"
Ji Guoshen coughed unnaturally: "Why did you say this suddenly?"
"Why do you usually do this?" Ji Linqiu put the mouse aside and turned to look at him: "Whose daughter is it?"
Ji Guoshen originally wanted to hide it, but he felt guilty after being stared at like this.
Strange to say, this child has a lot of vigor.
In the past, I only thought he was gentle and polite, with no sharp edges.
Since when... did it change
"Actually, I found it for you. Your mother took a look at his photo and didn't say anything."
Ji Linqiu didn't make a sound, and slowly drank his saliva.
Ji Guoshen felt that something was wrong, so he didn't bring up the matter immediately, but pondered the logic by himself.
"That's not right." The old father had taught science for too many years, and quickly realized: "We don't want to arrange a marriage for you, but we are just trying to see if we can help you meet the right person."
"Why does it sound like we're committing a crime every time I mention this to your mother?"
"Linqiu, you will be twenty-eight this year, right? Is there something unreasonable about this?"
Ji Linqiu looked at his father, and wanted to explain everything to him for a moment.
It is very tiring for people to hide things.
No matter how big or small something is, as long as it takes a long time, it will weigh on the heart and make people breathless.
He opened his mouth to say something, but after a while he said, "I don't like women."
Ji Guoshen didn't seem to understand, he raised his eyebrows in disbelief.
Ji Linqiu didn't immediately say that he liked men, but hid the information.
"When I was in high school, a female classmate confessed that she wanted to kiss me forcibly. Before I could hide, she kissed me on the face."
"I am not feeling well."
"Later, when I was working, I had work contacts with female colleagues, and if I could have physical contact, I would try to avoid it as much as possible."
When he said these words, he was also slightly surprised in his heart.
How come, as the days go by, I am like Jiang Wang, and lies come out of my mouth.
Ji Linqiu is not afraid of women, let alone resist contact with women.
He just felt that some things had to start first, even if they slowly penetrated into the family, it was better than buried forever.
Ji Guoshen was speechless in a daze, as if hit by a bolt from the blue.
The old man thought of something and blamed himself: "Did the incident in the village affect you?"
"Or I was not at home when I was young, leaving your mother to raise you alone, so what's wrong with you?"
Ji Guoshen seemed to be in some difficult trouble, and he began to fidget at this moment.
"I... about this... Linqiu, why didn't you tell me and your mother earlier?"
"How about we accompany you to see a psychiatrist, or tell Dad, when did you start doing this?"
Ji Linqiu was in this conversation that he had never thought of, and for a moment he felt absurdly that he had finally started to rebel.
His adolescence was very peaceful. It can even be said that there was no adolescence at all before meeting Jiang Wang.
No desire, no urge, no craving.
In his early twenties, there was no wave in Gujing, as if he had accepted his fate early.
He could feel the pantothenic acid in his teeth.
"If I don't marry women all my life, let alone touch them, will you send me to a mental hospital?"
Ji Guoshen waved his hands again and again: "Don't talk nonsense, we are your parents, how could we send you to such a place!"
There was only distress and panic on the old man's face: "Dad will cancel the blind date later, let's not go."
"I'll discuss the rest with your mother, and we'll talk about it later, okay?"
Ji Linqiu nodded slightly and sent him out of the study.
After the door was closed, I leaned against the wall and took a deep breath, a little unbelievable.
He actually said that to his father just now.
The next thing... I'm afraid it will be more difficult to go, but we have to do it step by step.
When Ji Linqiu closed his eyes, all he saw was Jiang Wang's face.
He could no longer associate himself with any woman.
His future can only be Jiang Wang.
After the father left, the study was quiet again.
Ji Linqiu stood against the wall for a long time, took out his mobile phone and called Jiang Wang.
It took a while for the other party to answer, and the voice seemed to be socializing.
"Linqiu?" The man was full of smiles: "Why, see you later?"
"No, I just want to call you." Ji Linqiu pursed his lips and thought of a reason, but he didn't want to say it when he came to his lips: "It's nothing, I just want to hear your voice suddenly."
Jiang Wang, I was... very brave just now.
When I think of you, I can say what's on my mind
In words, do things never thought of.
You said, what is going on with you
Why did my personality become more and more like you after I met you
For a moment, Ji Linqiu didn't know whether to be happy that he didn't have to go on a blind date for the time being, or worry about whether his parents would guess that he was gay, and what he would do next.
He just held his breath, listening to the clinking of wine glasses on Jiang Wang's side and the sound of people talking and laughing, and stopped talking.
Jiang Wang was afraid that it would be too noisy to hear, so he went to answer the phone in the corridor outside the hotel. He waited for a long time but didn't hear the follow-up, so he was not sure: "Linqiu, what happened to you?"
"Well, I'll come and take a walk with you after dinner, okay?"
Ji Linqiu laughed and hummed lightly.
"You take me to eat ice cream."
Jiang Wang glanced at the snow falling outside the glass window, nodded with a smile, "Our Teacher Ji is so fierce, I really like it."
The two of them are planning to buy a house again recently.
Although we do not forget that education is expanding rapidly, public and private accounts are separated.
The company has introduced a batch of investments to continue to conquer the city, and the actual income is also very considerable.
"Golden Twelve Volumes" has been officially introduced to colleges and universities in various provinces this year. Because of the blessings of gold medal lecturers from famous schools, and the fact that Jiang Wang's network resources have expanded so fast in the past two years, the income from selling books is very considerable.
As for the huge income from the milk tea shop, bookstore and selling peripheral hand-made comics, as well as the continuous deposit and tuition fees from the training courses, they are enough to buy several sets in full this year.
At this moment in 2008, house prices are really cheap, and you can buy them anywhere.
When the two of them were walking, Ji Linqiu didn't talk about his own affairs, but walked with Jiang Wang on the edge of the snow-filled long street, and introduced him to the tight school district.
"Beijing is mainly centered on Haidian District. If we talk about the whole city, apart from Tsinghua University Attached, Renmin University Attached, Peking University Attached, like Beijing No. 4 Middle School, No. 8 Middle School, and Experimental Middle School in Xicheng District, the properties nearby also have great potential for value-added."
"As for Shanghai, the most famous one is Shanghai High School. The No. 2 High School Affiliated to East China Normal University, the High School Affiliated to Shanghai University, the High School Affiliated to Fudan University, etc. can also be fully considered."
He looked at Jiang Wang and vaguely guessed something.
"Are you planning to buy all the houses and rent them out to those parents who accompany you?"
"If there are too many real estate properties, it is very likely that they will not be able to manage them. People have to be placed in Beijing and Shanghai to help them look after them."
Jiang Wang didn't study much in his previous life, and he knew very little about key middle schools. He heard Ji Linqiu say the same thing as the name of the dish before he realized it.
... The amount of work is huge.
They had looked at the school district housing before, and the place in the second ring road of Beijing is still close to key primary schools. In 2020, it will be close to 130,000 square meters. If it is rented out now, it will cost 3,500 yuan a month for two bedrooms and one living room.
Invest early.
Originally, when he stayed in Yuhan, he only wanted to guard an acre of land, but when he heard Ji Linqiu say this, he somehow felt that his ambition was on fire.
"Hey, Linqiu." The man laughed: "If I am halfway through education and training, and want to do some real estate business, do you think I'm crazy?"
Ji Linqiu looked at Jiang Wang's amber eyes that reflected the snow, and wiped the snow foam on his eyelashes with his palm.
"I want to be crazy with you." His voice was cold, with a soft ending: "Wouldn't it be happier to live in this world with someone to struggle with?"
Jiang Wang smiled and held him tightly in his arms.
"That's why you indulge me like this."
He originally thought that pulling him out of decades of solitude, and saving him from the cage of self-isolation, might be consummation.
Now it seems that the story has just begun.
They held hands and the blood was hot.
It doesn't matter how heavy the snow is.
