He could not understand why these people were putting so much effort into their studies.
Pan Ying raised his fist and said, "Don't be cocky, or I'll really beat you up."
Liu Shan stubbornly said, "If you're jealous, just say it. There's only so much in the books and you can't learn it. There's really nothing I can do."
"You're the only one who's taking advantage of me." Before Pan Ying could make a move, He Zhou had already sent a kick over. The more he said, the more he cried. His academic results were naturally not bad, but compared to this, it was like heaven and earth!
He woke up early to read while Liu Shan was snoring away.
He stayed up all night studying while Liu Shan skipped class to go to the internet cafe.
Liu Shan could easily score better than him just by listening to his questions in class.
"We're both surnamed Liu. The difference is too big." Liu Jiawei was very unhappy. If not for the fact that they were from the same village and their fathers had a good relationship, the two of them would not have fooled around together. He could not afford to hurt them.
When he was in school, every time he went out to play, his father would always say that Liu Shan had the ability to get first. How could he, who was last, go out and have fun?
He wanted to argue that he was not last but after thinking about it carefully, there was no difference. There was no point in explaining.
His entire school life had been living in Liu Shan's shadow.
When they both did something wrong, the teachers would scold him for being a troublemaker. Liu Shan, on the other hand, had the courage to break through and was very active. When they both skipped class, the teachers would immediately call for their parents. Students who did not follow the school rules had no hope. Liu Shan, on the other hand, had become a quality education practitioner who dared to challenge the traditional classroom.
Pan Ying said, "If you have the ability, go and compete with Chen Faqi. He's a genius. You're just a bit talented."
Liu Shan said, "I'm still better than you guys."
He Zhou asked curiously, "You're also guaranteed a direct PhD. From your tone, it seems like you're not going to study anymore?"
Liu Shan said, "Actually, I don't really like continuing my studies in China. I've asked Li Pei about the situation in Singapore or America. I can apply for them, but when I think about it, I'm a little afraid of going to a place I'm not familiar with. If I don't continue, I'm a little unwilling. I've already studied to this extent. If I don't give myself a layer of gold, I'll be letting down the expectations of the country and its people."
"Don't flatter yourself. As long as Uncle Liu agrees, you can go abroad if you want to. No one can stop you." He Zhou sighed. "I don't have any hope of going abroad."
My biggest wish for him is to graduate from university and return home to take charge of the helm. The chances of him going abroad are very slim.
The few of them drank and chatted at the same time. Chen Faqi walked over with another cup. "Let me give you a toast."
She had a small stature, bright eyes, and white teeth. Her every movement had the demeanor of a young lady from a wealthy family.
"Thank you." Everyone raised their glasses.
Pan Ying asked, "Aren't you going to spend a few more days at home during the Spring Festival?"
Chen Faqi said with a smile, "School is about to start soon. It's meaningless to stay for another seven or eight days. It just so happens that my dad is here, so I came with him."
"Uncle Chen is here?" Liu Shan asked with a smile.
Chen Faqi nodded. "My dad wants to expand the market in the second and third tier cities in the south, so he came to inspect it personally."
Liu Jiawei said, "It's definitely not a small business for Uncle Chen to come personally."
Although he did not know what business Chen Youli was in, he knew that his status and wealth were definitely not low.
Chen Faqi suddenly asked, "Are you all in Li Village?"
Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what he meant.
Pan Ying said, "Yeah, we're all from the same village. Why are you asking this?"
It was not a secret anyway, so there was nothing he could not say.
Chen Faqi said, "I'll go with my dad tomorrow morning to wish Uncle Li a happy new year."
"Uncle Li He?" Liu Jiawei asked uncertainly.
Chen Faqi nodded. "Yeah, do any of you want to go back? We can go together tomorrow morning. "
Pan Ying said with a smile, "We just arrived in the morning. Moreover, we started school earlier than you, so we won't have to go back and forth."
Chen Faqi pursed his lips and said calmly, "That's a pity. It's my first time going to Uncle Li's house, so I'm afraid I'll be nervous. I'd like to ask for your company."
Liu Shan said, "Uncle Li is very approachable, so there's nothing to be nervous about. Just eat and drink when you need to."
Chen Faqi continued to ask, "Have Brother Li Lan and Sister Li Yi returned to China for the New Year?"
Pan Ying said, "One is in Korea, and the other is in America. They didn't have time to come back."
"Oh, no wonder," Chen Faqi muttered. "Go nerds."
"What?" Pan Ying did not quite understand.
"Nothing, I'm used to talking to myself. Sorry," Chen Faqi smiled embarrassedly. "You guys take your time, I won't disturb you anymore."
She finished the last glass of wine and left the hotel.
She realized that she was not suited for this kind of entertainment. She felt like there was a dagger on her back. Whether she was at KTv or in a bar, all the security guards and even the manager were staring at her.
She called the driver and drove back to the hotel where she and her dad were staying.
Chen Youli was sitting in the hall talking with three people. When he saw her walking over, he waved his hand and said, "Old girl, come over here."
"Dad," Chen Faqi nodded and smiled at the three people who stood up as a greeting, "I won't disturb your discussion, I'll go upstairs first."
Chen Youli said, "I'll hand over the business to you sooner or later. You can listen from the side."
"Dad, did you drink?" She did not want to talk about these family matters in front of outsiders. She still had her brother, and she was just a girl. Sooner or later, she would have to bear a different surname.
"Nonsense, don't think that I can't understand you just because I'm not educated. Your Uncle Daoming, Uncle Xingmin, and Uncle Jibo, we've been fighting together for more than twenty years. We're not outsiders, so there's nothing to hide," Chen Youli said seriously. "Your brother doesn't live up to expectations. What can I do? We still have to rely on you in the future."
"Dad." Looking at the white hair on her father's head, she suddenly felt angry and sad. "You're the pillar of the family."
"Dad is old." Chen Youli patted the hands that were crossed on his neck. "I have to admit that I'm old. I can't not admit defeat. When I was young, I could go bare-chested with the Russians at -20 degrees Celsius. But now, I can't stand a little cold."
Zhang Daoming and the other two people stood up again. "Mr. Chen, we'll go first."
It was not good to disturb the father and daughter's conversation.
"Drive safe." Chen Youli waved at them.
"Goodbye, Uncle." Chen Faqi personally walked them to the door.
