Chapter 503: The Lazy, Fair-skinned Youth and the Hardworking, Strong Laborer (26)
The lazy, fair-skinned educated youth and the hardworking, strong laborer (Twenty-six)
Fang Zhiyuan wanted to ask Lance and Song Ning to take care of his brother-in-law while they were at school, so he suggested inviting them to dinner.
Song Ning and Lance thought about it and agreed but didn't completely agree. They had been planning to go to the cafeteria and it was a good opportunity to have a meal together.
Hong Dazhi was obviously tempted when he heard them say that, not to mention his two children who also had the same aspirations to study at Taipei University.
Fang Zhiyuan had no choice but to agree to go with them.
The cafeteria at Taipei University is pretty good. It has cheap, large portions of regular meals that are friendly to poor students, as well as a window selling exquisite dishes. You can even pay someone to cook the dishes you want.
Fang Zhiyuan ordered five or six dishes without thinking, and they found a corner with few people and sat down to chat.
After Lance recognized Hong Dazhi, he tried to ask him some questions. He soon found out that Hong Dazhi came from a humble background. He married Fang Zhiyuan's sister as a son-in-law. When he went to the countryside, he was unlucky and encountered a storm on the way. He didn't pay attention and got a fever after being caught in the rain.
Later, the fever was finally gone, but I was left with a cough.
Hong Dazhi's situation was not very good at the time, but he had no family, so after thinking it over, he decided to find a good family to marry into.
Fang Zhiyuan's sister was the wife he chose for himself. Hong Dazhi and his wife had a good relationship and they had two children, a boy and a girl. He also passed the college entrance examination with the support of his whole family.
Originally, he should have studied peacefully at the University of Taipei. Although he had a wife and children at home, his brother-in-law Fang Zhiyuan was a man who could make money and was good to his sister and brother-in-law. Hong Dazhi lived a simple life, so he was deceived by Dong Cai, who lived in the same dormitory with sweet words.
When Lance started chatting with him casually, he found out that Hong Dazhi had just arrived at the school like them and therefore had not yet chosen a dormitory.
He thought about it for a moment, his tone seemingly casual.
"Since we already know each other, why don't you just stay in the same dormitory with us? This way we can take care of each other more easily."
Everyone looked at him in surprise, but Lance remained motionless.
Fang Zhiyuan was the first to react and was overjoyed.
He had originally thought that it would be best if he could get to know these two people, and now if Lance, who seemed to be the most difficult to deal with, took the initiative to say so, that would be even better.
"That's fine. After dinner, I'll help my brother-in-law move the things over."
He was a man of action and quickly went to make arrangements.
Originally, Lance and Song Ning's dormitory was full, but Fang Zhiyuan took out some money and negotiated with one of them and said some nice words, and the other party was very easy to talk to and gave up his bed.
Hong Dazhi was not angry about the arrangement. He knew his brother-in-law quite well. Businessmen are profit-driven and rarely do anything that would put themselves at a disadvantage.
The two sides chatted for a while, and Fang Zhiyuan said goodbye to them with the two children when he saw that it was almost dark.
Lance found an excuse to go out for a walk and quickly confirmed one thing.
As expected, Dong Cai was admitted, and one of his roommates was the person who had exchanged rooms with Hong Dazhi.
"You're quite sincere."
Lance glanced at the sky and said, "Don't worry, I will do what I promised you as soon as possible."
As one student after another arrived at the school, Lance and Song Ning officially began their student life.
As soon as school started, Lance quickly became a celebrity on campus.
Unlike Song Ning, who has a slow learning progress, Lance rarely speaks, but the professors who can teach at Taipei University are more skilled than the others.
Although Lance is very low-key, his outstanding height and appearance make the professors take a second look at him, and they like to call on him to answer questions when they have nothing to do.
Soon the professors were surprised to find that there was almost no question that Lance could not answer.
Once or twice was still a coincidence, but after it happened so many times and the professors knew each other and chatted with each other a few times, they soon noticed Lance.
Soon a professor became interested in Lance's talent and wanted to take him as a student.
But what they didn't expect was that Lance, who seemed to be a good student, actually disappeared as soon as the get out of class was over, just like a loach that no one could catch.
Lance has indeed been a bit busy lately.
After the college entrance examination, they didn't have much money left. Although the courtyard house they bought would appreciate in value to an unimaginable level in the future, Song Ning obviously liked this house very much, and Lance naturally would not consider selling it in the future.
Song Ning also liked the Huanghuali furniture that was bought together, so Lance had no intention of touching them.
Another thing is that he promised the will of the world, and Lance did not forget this.
So apart from class time and time spent with Song Ning, Lance has been running around quite frequently recently.
After running for almost a month, Lance had almost figured it out.
With the resumption of the college entrance examination, the encouragement for changes in the mode of production has gradually shifted from the collective to the individual, and this is the opportunity that Lance has been waiting for.
But before that, he still had a little less money.
Taking advantage of the holiday to return home and rest, Lance briefly talked about this little worry with Song Ning.
"So what should we do? Should we start a small business to make some money?"
Song Ning's thoughts changed. This time, not only was he not worried, he also took the initiative to give Lance advice.
Lance saw the change in him and was happy in his heart.
He leaned his head against the railing, with a smile in his eyes.
"So Ningning, what kind of small business do you think we should start?"
Song Ning thought about it seriously and looked at Lance tentatively.
"Can we still do the one we did before?"
"Ok?"
Lance sat up a little straighter, "You want to continue with the same thing?"
He thought Song Ning would choose other ways. After all, many people still think that reselling is speculation. He thought Song Ning would choose a new way.
Song Ning smiled a little embarrassedly and confessed his thoughts.
"After all, we've already done this, and finding a new one may not be able to do it?"
He looked at Lance, who was leaning against the railing and looked particularly handsome, and kept a word in his heart.
If he did this, he would be more confident that he could keep up with Lance and would not be unable to help Lance.
The two discussed some future directions, and then Song Ning asked Lance for advice on some problems he encountered in his studies.
After chatting for a while, there was a knock on the door.
Lance went to open the door and was surprised to find that it was Mr. Bao who came to see them. In addition, he brought someone else with him.
An old man with white hair but full of energy rushed up to him as soon as he saw Lance. "Young comrade, you must be Comrade Lance, right? Are you interested in being my student?"
