Chapter 002: The Handsome and Cool Men of the Third Year in the Three High Schools
Oh, you are willing to come back?
One hundred thousand yuan, are you really going to sell her to an old widower for one hundred thousand yuan?
*
What is it that you find so repulsive? You have given him your precious first time...
The frown of the brow becomes increasingly tight and furrowed
Rolled his eyes dramatically, and Zhan Se humorously scoffed at it
A man in his fifties, widowed, with two sons.
Previously, the two of them participated in the civil service examination together and were also included in the interview list together
She is a university classmate of Zhan Se
No need to worry, I already have a boyfriend
A tall, handsome, and cool man in his third year of university
Hey girl, do you really think that just because you ranked first in the written exam, you will definitely get in? Are you out of your mind? How many people who ranked first in the written exam have been eliminated?
Have you received the payment?
"Oh, come off it!" he said with a sarcastic tone, "Quickly tell me, how much did you all take?"
... ...
She is not someone who passively accepts adversity, yet she is unable to change the current situation
... ... No, no, who said that?
Clutching the shoulder strap tightly, he did not look back at all.
She ignored her stepfather Lu Youde's scolding and went straight into the house
The wandering soul, which I did not know when it had drifted away, was pulled back to reality by Du Xiaoren, who was animatedly chatting on the phone. I let out a light "ah," brushed my long hair that hung over my forehead, and then let my half-mocking face droop. "Du Xiaoren, did you find some money? What are you so excited about?"
Sending money? Is that even what you call money...
A long string of complaints has begun again
"With a body full of alluring fragrance, I ask her, where did she find wild men?"
Hello, occupy color
It is raining in the world
Carrying a bag, she walked towards the bus stop in the rainy night, her head was throbbing with pain
Occupy color
The stepfather continued to praise Boss Wang, while the ears of the one named Se remained silent
"Come on, stop messing around! Du Xiaoren, the interview is about to start, we need to hurry up and prepare."
Where to find it
"Zhan Se, have I fallen into old habits again? We agreed not to analyze me! I dislike it, you have seen through me... it has caused me psychological distress."
Uncontrollably clenching her palm, she forcefully suppressed the surging anger within her heart and tightly closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she raised her left wrist, and the string of jade beads, the Eighteen Sons of Yu, that Lord Quan Si had placed on her wrist emitted a soft glow.
A month ago, her mother came from Yilan in Harbin to live in Beijing. Also present were her stepfather and her half-sister.
What creativity!
In a moment of anger, her heart, which had long been murdered by familial affection, felt a twinge of pain again, almost bringing her to tears
No one can predict the events of the future
Nausea surged in her stomach, and she stepped forward with a cold smile, her words coming out in a rapid-fire sarcastic tone, "You speak in a stammer, your intonation rising, and your responses are stiff. Do you still want to lie?!"
Oh, my daughter has a boyfriend... ? Tsk tsk, this jade is truly a fine piece! So, Xiao Yao, when will you bring him back to meet us?
Oh my goodness! She laughed and pounced over, pinching Du Xiaoren's wide mouth, and without any hesitation, retorted, "Stop talking nonsense! You ruin my reputation, slap me 30 times, and reward me with a red silk of one zhang!"
Accumulated clutter
Du Xiaoren is on duty
Looking at her mother, who has always been submissive and accommodating, it made Zhan Se feel as if her own mind was about to convulse.
"Come on, who believes that? That cool guy's voice is really damn sexy, I almost got high just listening to it... Hey, beautiful girl, I really want to know, is a guy like him, a diamond bachelor with three highs and three big assets, really that... big?"
Here it comes again, here it comes again
In the same city, there seem to be two entirely different worlds
Ah, is there really such a handsome man in the world, adorned with gold trim and encrusted with diamonds?
The two young women are both from out of town and generally have a good relationship. At this moment, they are in the dormitory discussing their family matters, each with a belly full of grievances. As they talk, it all comes down to the issue of money. However, Du Xiaoren, staring at the eighteen bracelets on her wrist, still looks enviously at her friend and says, "Hey, since you are short on money... why not sell it and you will have money?"
Emerging from a series of fashion districts, she transferred buses three times and navigated through numerous twists and turns before finally entering the most desolate area of Kyoto City—here lies a shantytown that this international metropolis has yet to demolish and renovate.
He raised his wrist, glanced at it with a critical eye, and wore a look of disappointment.
Three Highs: tall stature, high vision, high intelligence
The three greats: great wealth, great power, and great capability
That night
*
Everyone has their own aspirations. Regarding her perspective, it is ambiguous whether to agree or disagree.
... ...
The soiled canvas shoes scraped against the moss at the corner, producing a few feeble and dilapidated sounds as they tapped on the door.
Lu Youde was shouting while criticizing her, complaining about all of Yu Yizhen's shortcomings with great vigor for a full five minutes. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he changed the subject and revealed his intention, "Seeing that you are not young anymore, I was thinking of finding you a good family. Well, the boss Wang from the Yilan Mining Factory has mentioned it several times through someone..."
During his graduate studies at the Color Occupation Institute, Du Xiaoren served as a cultural counselor at the Youth Education Institute.
He shot her a glare, responding in an irritable tone
Upon seeing it, Lu Youde's mouth, which was filled with curses, gaped wide open
The tear mole trembles lightly at the moment, and the gaze is filled with moisture. Girl, you are in the throes of spring!
"Hey! You little brat!" Lu Youde's wrinkled face trembled as if covered with a layer of tofu skin, shaking continuously with the scolding. "I provided for your food and clothing, supported your education... Now that you've grown wings, you can't stand to see me enjoying a few days of peace with your mother? ... Little ingrate!"
What are you thinking about?
Worried about their own trivial matters, their mind twisted in several directions, they weakly waved their hand to signal a halt to the conversation
And now, Zhan Se has become a psychological counselor here, and the two have become colleagues again
Hello, daughter, we owe Boss Wang one hundred thousand yuan
... ... girl! A significant figure wishes to summon you!
You say, ah! Being with such an exceptional man, yet still able to focus on reading as if nothing happened? How impressive, truly admirable.
Go away! Shut your beak.
The delicate and moist jade glistens, resplendent and dazzling under the light, with lines that flow and curve, as if imbued with a strong vitality
the walls covered in dust
It is easy to find a boyfriend who can serve as a placeholder, but to find someone who can return 100,000 yuan to others is, for her who has just started working for less than two months, more difficult than ascending to the heavens
Uncle Lu, I have sent a considerable amount of money home
Unexpectedly, the young woman moved even closer and said, "Hey, girl, come, let's talk about the experience of losing one's virginity"
Boss Wang? Ha!
The garbage emitting a strange odor by the roadside
Even in the most frustrating of lives, one must learn to remain calm
Work? I didn't smell any alcohol on her, did I?
The silence in this room is akin to a dark tomb
Oh... hey, Xiao Yao, wait a moment...
Seeing Du Xiaoren's expression filled with hatred towards society, Zhan Se fell silent
100,000 yuan
Ha! The good news for us has arrived!
For women of humble origins, taking the civil service examination is the only pathway that can lead directly to the heavens. However, for most, it is primarily a means to better support their families. In contrast, Du Xiaoren believes that in a city like Beijing, where a falling sign can crush nine officials, marrying a wealthy man and entering high society is most likely achievable through a career in civil service, which represents the most promising opportunity for a stable livelihood.
What kind of attitude is that? Can you really be brought low after climbing up to Boss Wang? The person has already made it clear, once you step through the door, you will build a big house for our family
Zhan Se smiled casually, no longer defending himself
Mother, Uncle Lu, I have my own matters to attend to. If you feel uncomfortable staying here, you may return to Yilan
It is not something of one's own, so selling it would only provoke annoyance. Moreover, it is uncertain how much it could be worth.
The unceremonious clamor, laced with the scent of alcohol, rushed in from the doorway.
Half-closing her eyes, she picked up a book to cover her face, "What mischief have you done again?"
Life never leaves much time for people to lament the changing seasons. Leaving the KTV where I was almost forced, I bid farewell to Du Xiaoren and returned home
Not wanting to look at the greedy face of her stepfather for even half a second, Zhan Se turned to Yu Yizhen and said, "Mom, if you're not feeling well, you should rest early. I'm going back to the office, I have a night shift."
"Don't give me that nonsense!" Lu Youde snorted, his nose twitching, "I’ll tell you this, when we came to Kyoto, Boss Ren Wang kindly gave us 100,000 yuan as travel expenses. He said it was to show respect to me and your mother... Hmph, if he has taken a liking to you, you should be secretly pleased with yourself."
To call it a home is, in fact, merely to refer to a temporary rental accommodation
Stepparent, sick mother, younger sister... Moreover, the love of my mother. She laughed at herself. If a person lacks the ability to change their circumstances, then there remains only one choice—out of sight, out of mind
"Wow, I went to Kyoto with great effort, and all I got was this!" Lu Youde's voice, which was shockingly loud, nearly lifted the roof. His mother, Yu Yizhen, timidly came out from the adjacent room and cautiously advised, "Please lower your voice... the child is busy with work, so let's keep it brief."
