Chapter 57: People are really inferior to others

Chapter 57: People are really inferior to others
When everything is getting better, life becomes more hopeful.

The only thing that made Xu Mingyuan feel unhappy was that his information channels were too limited.

Apart from a few scattered news items in the newspapers that gave him a glimpse, the rest was basically up to guesswork.

Lawyer Guo Heng conveyed a piece of news to him that for some reason Lin Jing's parents suddenly agreed to investigate the cause of their daughter's accident.

Lin Jing's incident was far more serious than Xu Mingyuan's head being knocked.
Although Lin Jing has been sent to study in another province, her parents still work in Nanxi.

Small people cannot control their own decisions. They may get angry if pushed into a corner, but more often they will just go with the flow.

There is also news that Chen Junjian, who was detained in the detention center, deliberately injured his leg and applied for medical parole, but was taken back before his injury healed.

If Lu Zongxing fired the first shot in order to drag everyone into the water, then the only ones who could have been so cruel to Chen Xiangli could only be the Zhang brothers.

In Xu Mingyuan's memory, since the day Chen Xiangshun was taken away, the Zhang brothers have never stopped attacking Xiangli Group, which lasted for more than ten years.

Xu Mingyuan had heard to some extent about the feud between the two families. It was a dispute between their fathers, but the elders were unwilling to talk about the specific reasons, as they all disappeared with the complete collapse of Xiangli Group.

Now Xu Mingyuan is not concerned about how many years Chen Junjian will be sentenced to, but whether Xiangli Group can hold on.

If the local authorities were unable to stop it in time, the Junxing Electronic Technology Company that Xu Mingyuan had set his sights on might very likely have been snatched away by someone else.

This period was the most difficult time for the Chen family. Settlement of payments at the end of the year was the default rule in the industry, and the most feared thing at this time was a break in the capital chain.

Xu Mingyuan calculated that Xiangli Group had accumulated a considerable amount of assets over the past twenty years and should be able to last for a few months.

To be honest, among all the people involved, apart from the Chen family’s interest group, Xu Mingyuan is probably the only one who most hopes that Xiangli Group can hold on for a while longer.

If it is too late, Xu Mingyuan has no other choice. He is unable to compete and can only enter the electronics industry two years later.

In fact, at this stage of Xu Mingyuan's life, the saying that money is something outside of one's body is not empty talk. He once had more money than he could spend, let alone in 03 when there was gold everywhere.

However, 03 will soon be over.

"Stay at home again on holiday?"

Xu Mingyuan finished the test paper and threw the pen aside.

"It's so cold outside."

Yang Zhi did not answer the question directly, but his meaning was very clear.

Generally, when Xu Mingyuan puts down his pen, it means that his learning task for the day is over.

Yang Zhi heard from her brother that studying after class is never as important as listening carefully in class, and he also told her the same thing, so she had no choice but to learn from him.

The academic workload in the third year of high school is heavy, but generally the important papers can be finished in self-study classes because the teacher will give lectures the next day.

The rest depends on self-consciousness. If you write seriously, you won’t be able to finish it even if you write until twelve o’clock. Xu Mingyuan just went over the key questions.

The teacher would check occasionally, but he would only check on the good students who were studying well. Those who did not study were basically given up on, and as long as they did not disrupt the class discipline, they were allowed to do whatever they wanted.

My home is a residential building allocated by a state-owned enterprise in the early years. The location is good, but the facilities are old, the heating effect is average, and I have to wear sweaters at home.

Finishing study every night is the most pleasant time of the day for Yang Zhi.

It was a pity that it was only half an hour and it passed very quickly, but Yang Zhi was already content.

Xu Mingyuan lay on his side on the sofa, covered from the abdomen downwards with the quilt that Xiao Yangzhi had turned out, and turned on the TV to watch the news.

Seeing Xiao Yangzhi boil the water and come over, he retracted his legs to make room for her.

Yang Zhi lifted a corner of the quilt and put it on.

Because Xu Mingyuan had told her several times to relax at home, Yang Zhi took off her plush slippers, tucked her small feet in white socks into the quilt, and sat back in the quilt with her long legs curled up.

It was another night of watching TV news with Xu Mingyuan. Although Yang Zhi didn't know what she was watching and couldn't remember it afterwards, she still enjoyed watching it.

I picked up an orange from the coffee table, peeled it, and removed the white fibers on the orange segments bit by bit. After a short while, I had collected a small handful.

"Brother, here you go."

"Don't worry about me, just eat it yourself."

Xu Mingyuan said this, but he still reached out his hand and chewed it with his mouth full of juice.

Once you lie down, you don’t want to get up, let alone lying in a warm quilt.

Yang Zhi would occasionally hand over a handful of peeled peanuts or peeled melon seeds. Xu Mingyuan was polite, but he accepted the food with peace of mind.

Yang Zhi would eat some herself, but she had a small appetite and could not eat much after eating a little, so she gave most of it to Xu Mingyuan. It was no wonder that Xu Jun loved his daughter who came along halfway so much, but ignored his biological son.

It would be strange if you didn't like such a sensible little girl.

Xu Mingyuan thought about what he was doing when he was her age. It seemed that he was either being naughty or trying to make trouble.

It's true that one can't compare with others, and it's not Xu Jun's fault.

Xu Mingyuan sighed.

As New Year’s Day approaches, Xiao Yangzhi will have three days off, and the senior high school students will also have one day of freedom, and then it will be the winter vacation at the end of the year.

Although the teacher did not mention the winter vacation for senior high school students, the students had already calculated that it would be at most eight days, and that was the result of adding two Sundays. Otherwise, the vacation would have been even shorter.

"Xiaoyuan, you are really not a good brother. You hang out with little girls all day long. You don't want to celebrate the New Year with me? Hey, you are also forgetting your friendship for the sake of beauty."

Sun Hongwei came over with his big face licked.

Not only Xu Mingyuan, but even Li Cheng, who was their best friend, hadn't figured out how this bastard got to know a little girl who was in a vocational school. He hadn't been hanging out with them in recent weeks.

"Didn't Li Cheng say he would take you there? Ask him to introduce you to a pretty girl."

"Cao, boring."

"Get lost."

Xu Mingyuan was too lazy to pay attention to this sultry girl.

Li Cheng also spoke up, "Brother Wei, what are you pretending for? Damn it, bringing a big fool like you will definitely ruin my plans. Do you think I am happy to take you with me?"

"Then I won't go." Sun Hongwei said sullenly.

"Okay, Chengzi, take him away after school. This idiot is just a show-off."

Xu Mingyuan didn't expose him. More than ten years later, his greatest pleasure was to get a massage from a massage technician. How could that be a good thing?

Tang Lin's family is organizing a party at the Yanbin Building today. She wants to invite a few good friends to go along, but she wants to have a private room alone instead of sitting with the adults.

Originally Xu Mingyuan didn't want to go, but then he remembered that today was the last day of 03, and after all, the Gregorian calendar year was also the New Year.

There were only Xu Mingyuan and Xiao Yangzhi at home, so they just had a meal together and got by with it.

Xu Mingyuan didn't care, but he thought that Xiao Yangzhi might feel lonely, so he thought of bringing her out to have some fun.

There was no evening self-study today. Seeing that these students were getting restless, Lao Gao dismissed the school twenty minutes early and asked them to keep quiet when they left.

Sun Hongwei and his group of students didn't care about that. The moment they heard that school was over, they opened the back door and rushed out.

Xu Mingyuan was not in a hurry and put on his coat slowly.

But Tao Shuxin couldn't wait any longer and kept poking his back, asking him to hurry up.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I have to go home to pick up my sister first. When you get there, I can call Tang Lin, right?"

"Then hurry up, don't say you're not coming again. If you don't give me face, my Tao Tao will go after you to settle the score." Tang Lin echoed.

"Not really. I can just take a taxi there."

"Hey, Taotao, why don't you and Xu Mingyuan go together? You two are flirting with each other all day long anyway, it might be good to get to know each other." Tang Lin said with a smile.

"Get out of the way!"

Tao Shuxin reached into her collar and scratched her.

"Stop scratching, stop scratching! Xu Mingyuan might see it!" Tang Lin begged for mercy again and again.

Xu Mingyuan was too lazy to look at her. Her poached egg was not even half the size of Tao Shuxin's. He could not see anything when he stretched his head over.

After playing around for a while, seeing that Tang Lin had given in, Tao Shuxin said to Xu Mingyuan, "Wait for me, I want to go home with you."

After saying this, the audience fell silent for two seconds.

Seeing Xu Mingyuan's strange expression and Tang Lin's surprised look, both looking at him, Tao Shuxin also felt that he had said something wrong.

But she reacted quickly, and immediately acted as if it was a matter of course, saying stubbornly: "It's such a pain to ask you to come out! What if I don't follow you and you don't come!"
