Chapter 481 Charm
Chapter 481 Charm
In Xu Mingyuan's eyes, Xiao Yangzhi is a child, and Tao Shuxin also thinks she is a child.
But in the eyes of her peers, she really doesn't look like a child at all. Instead, her every move has a hint of maturity.
In the past, little Yang Zhi was always timid and never looked people in the eye. One could tell at a glance that she was a somewhat weak girl.
But now it is different from the past. Even if Xu Mingyuan has never taught her, as the closest person, Xiao Yangzhi will learn from him imperceptibly and get closer to him.
Even now, little Yang Zhi is still young in Xu Mingyuan's eyes, but the gap between her and her peers is obvious.
Duan Shihan is more than one year younger than Xiao Yangzhi. In addition, the management at the No. 1 Middle School is strict, so her hair is cut to the back of her neck, and she looks like a student.
The tips of Xiao Yangzhi's hair reach her waist, which makes a huge difference in her appearance.
In addition, Xiao Yangzhi herself is indifferent, and she has learned a little bit of Xu Mingyuan's indifference to the world. From the inside out, she doesn't behave like a student.
More like a newly married young wife.
Seeing Duan Shihan coming to visit his home, Xu Mingyuan thought that Xiao Yangzhi could communicate with her and talk about interesting things during school days, but who would have thought that she was actually planning to drive her away.
Xiao Yangzhi was really too indifferent. She and Xu Mingyuan did learn some things, but they were very superficial.
She wanted to look at everything rationally like Xu Mingyuan, but Xiao Yangzhi had very little experience and was ultimately emotional, so it was difficult for her to fully weigh the pros and cons.
Listening to Duan Shihan talking about her life in senior year of high school, Yang Zhi felt a little scared.
When she first saw Xu Mingyuan in his senior year of high school, she didn't feel that he was very tired. He would go home after 8:30 in the evening study and would take days off from time to time. He was very free.
It turns out that the evening self-study classes for senior high school students lasted until 9:30, and the papers had to be written until late at night.
Looking at his old classmate with dark eye bags and a few pimples on his forehead, Yang Zhi felt a little lucky that he didn't go to school, otherwise he would be exhausted...
In fact, Yang Zhi is also a bit lazy, but she can force herself to do things she doesn't like to do for the sake of her goals.
"Where is your father?" Xu Mingyuan asked casually.
"At work." Duan Shihan replied.
“Still working at the end of the year?”
"Yes, my father is very busy. I haven't been back to my hometown for more than a year. I miss home so much."
"Isn't it easy to go home? If you want to go back, can't you take a plane and arrive that day?"
Xu Mingyuan knew that her home was in Jincheng, not too far from Xiao Yangzhi's hometown. It was in the neighboring province, only a few cities away.
"We only have ten days off. School will start again after the seventh day of the New Year. We can't play for a few days if we go back to our hometown. We should wait until the college entrance examination is over. Yang Zhi, how many days of vacation did you have?" Duan Shihan asked.
"Well, about two months or so. I haven't calculated it exactly."
Yang Zhi had nearly half a month longer vacation than Xu Mingyuan, which should be more than two months in total.
Students are so boring. Apart from comparing holidays, they just go out shopping. There is no fun at all.
Tsk tsk, so superficial.
Yang Zhi was complaining in his heart.
"You speak so casually, are you trying to irritate me on purpose?" Duan Shihan said with a smile.
"No."
Yang Zhi looked at her in confusion and continued to drink the water in the cup.
After chatting idly, Duan Shihan suddenly asked Xu Mingyuan, "Brother Xu, why didn't you go to the bidding meeting this year?"
"What should I do?"
"Let's go to the buffet. Weren't you there for the past two years?"
"I've had enough."
Xu Mingyuan smiled and said that in the past two years, Tao Shuxin was greedy and insisted on taking him to eat and drink.
Girls in their teens and twenties can still do this kind of thing, but they have grown into adults.
It’s okay to embarrass yourself when you’re young, but now you have to consider the occasion.
"Do you look down on Nanxi's bidding dinner?"
"Not really." Xu Mingyuan smiled. This little girl was quite arrogant.
"The China World Trade Center is putting out bids. My father said it's a waste to build a business building because Nanxi doesn't have such a big market. Are you interested?" Duan Shihan said.
"China World Trade Center? Can't the cracks be covered up?" Xu Mingyuan said.
The China World Trade Center was a landmark building in Nanxi in the last century, but it was just a vanity project. It was originally designed to be used for 70 years, but in less than 40 years, the foundation subsidence caused irreversible damage to the main body of the building.
The bidding and reconstruction task of the China World Trade Center was once undertaken by a company under Xu Mingyuan's name. Later, a business building integrating shopping, catering, leisure and entertainment was built.
Nanxi City has a permanent population of more than 4 million. It is nonsense to say that there is no such a large market. Duan Jianhe is still planning to attract investment.
Xu Mingyuan had considered transferring some high-tech industries to Nanxi, but moving the headquarters was absolutely impossible. However, he could move industries such as game development here.
Games are not Star Technology’s main business, but they make money quickly, employees are highly paid, and are very beneficial in driving local development.
It depends on how the municipal government offers. If the city government does not offer the biggest discount, Xu Mingyuan will not consider it at the moment. After all, Star Technology's cash flow is still relatively tight, and every expense must be carefully calculated.
Otherwise, he could wait another two years until Xu Mingyuan had sufficient funds and then move some high-tech industries to Nanxi, which would be a contribution to his hometown.
"Cracks? I don't know about that." Duan Shihan said in a daze.
"Where did you hear these words? Why didn't Zhao Bingsheng tell me?" Xu Mingyuan asked with a smile.
"I heard it from someone. Uncle Zhao might not know. My dad just said it casually."
"Haha, it's too early for you to get involved in these things. Wait until you go to college before considering developing in this direction." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
Since Duan Jianhe was transferred from Nanxi, they have basically lost contact. Duan Shihan did not seem to have taken the civil service exam, and Xu Mingyuan did not know what she did specifically, but she must have a good future as a second-generation.
Xu Jun had a reception in the evening, but Xu Mingyuan did not go and stayed at home with Xiao Yangzhi.
"Do you know why Duan Shihan came to me to talk about this?" Xu Mingyuan asked.
Xiao Yangzhi is a taciturn person. If Xu Mingyuan doesn't chat with her regularly, he wonders if her language ability will degenerate.
When Xu Mingyuan is with Xiao Yangzhi, he always finds various topics to talk about, just to pass the time.
"I don't know." Yang Zhi answered casually.
"Guess what, just say whatever comes to mind and chat for a while." Xu Mingyuan pinched her nose and said.
"Hmm..." Yang Zhi hesitated for a moment before raising her head and saying, "Did she act on her own initiative?"
"It doesn't seem like that. She didn't come by herself. Her father's secretary is here too."
"Is it because Secretary Zhao didn't pay much attention to you before, so he let Duan Shihan come as a guest this time?" Yang Zhi asked.
"Ha, you have a very open mind. Zhao Bingsheng is the chief secretary and is very trusted. Duan Jianhe would not beat around the bush to appoint him." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Is that Duan Shihan's way of showing off?" Yang Zhi asked with a frown.
"What do you think?" Xu Mingyuan asked back.
"Children will definitely want to show off themselves." Yang Zhi nodded with certainty.
"Haha, how much older are you than her? Just say she is a child. Isn't she your classmate?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"For classmates who haven't been here for a year, if you count the holidays, it's less than a year, so they can barely be considered half classmates." Yang Zhi said.
Yang Zhi changed schools frequently since elementary school, and her six-year elementary school life was divided into several sections, so she had no concept of classmates.
Although she had settled down in junior high school, she was not happy and no longer cared about her classmates.
"You little girl, you're making things too complicated. She sees you as an old classmate and simply wants to come and see you. What her father said was just a passing mention." Xu Mingyuan said with a sigh.
"Oh, I don't want anyone to see me." Yang Zhi said, biting her lip.
"Don't bite it. It's dry in winter and it's easy to break the skin."
Xu Mingyuan gently pinched her chin and pulled her lips open.
"It gets wet when you kiss..."
