Rebirth after the college entrance examination

Chapter 163 Wenda...The Night Before

Xu Wanying's dinner was still in the pot; she hadn't eaten it yet. It was curry chicken rice, and the whole house was filled with a rich aroma. There was three hundred yuan on the table, which she had originally planned to give to Xia An.

She got drunk at the bar the night before last, and in the end, Xia An paid the bill. I don't know how much the drinks cost, but Xia An said that since she had a bar card, she should at least pay for the snacks and such, otherwise it wouldn't be right.

But now she's having trouble handing over the money she prepared that morning.

If it weren't for the 300 million, she could have openly said she would take it, but knowing he was so rich, if she continued to argue, it would seem like she was deliberately pretending to be aloof.

Seeing that she didn't even know what to say, Xia An sat down in the chair and laughed, "Teacher Xu, everything else is secondary. This is a school, I'm a student, and you're the counselor. Why think about so many other things? It's too uncomfortable."

It would have been better if she hadn't said anything, because hearing these words made Xu Wanying roll her eyes.

Do you even know you're a student? Are there students who go to the teacher's dormitory with their girlfriends...?
Looking at Xia An, Xu Wanying shook her head helplessly and chuckled, "You guys are really amazing. You've broadened my horizons. Tang Wan, your sister, and you, you really don't seem like students."

“They are students,” Xia An said firmly.

Xu Wanying pouted and sighed, "Fine, I have nothing more to say. The principal said you'll definitely be busy starting your own business in the future. It was my fault for making you class monitor without my consent. If it affects your work... well, let's finish this semester and then re-elect the class committee next semester."

Xia An shook his head and laughed, "It's okay. I'm so capable, having an extra class monitor job is no big deal. It won't interfere with my work."

Xu Wanying: "..." Are you saying I'm stupid?

Xia An said, "My mother-in-law is going to inspect the small theater tomorrow, teacher, you have to put in a good word for me."

Xu Wanying blurted out, "Why would I go see your mother-in-law?"

Then it dawned on me: "Who's your mother-in-law?"

Finally, I understood: "Le Ning's mom is here?"

Xia An smiled and said, "Isn't your band going to rehearse as usual tomorrow?"

Xu Wanying felt like she was being forced into this situation. She bit her lip and nodded helplessly.

Looking at the time, Xia An stood up: "The dorms will be closed soon, I'm leaving, teacher." Reaching the door, she turned back and asked, "Teacher Xu, would you like to earn some extra money?"

Tilting her head, Xu Wanying didn't understand.

She's such a scatterbrain. Looking at her adorable appearance, Xia An shook her head. "Never mind, I'll talk about it later. Let's go."

The door was closed, and Xu Wanying took off her shoes and socks, picked up the basin to fetch water, but Xia An pushed the door open and came in.

Xu Wanying: "..." Don't you know how to knock?!

Seeing Xia An happily take the three hundred yuan from the table, she asked, "Teacher, is this for me?"

Xu Wanying nodded.

"Okay, I'll accept it. I look forward to your next treat."

Xu Wanying nodded again.

The phenomenon of domain name sales creating billionaires is currently only receiving widespread attention on a few fronts.

Firstly, in the internet and IT sector, several portals made headlines about it, but the details were vague, as official media had not yet formally reported it.

Secondly, there are official bodies, such as the General Office, the Investment Promotion Bureau, the Education Bureau, and so on, extending all the way to the school.

Thirdly, state media are working diligently to prepare tomorrow's headlines.

Since October, in the past month and a half, the front pages of the seven media outlets under the newspaper group have featured news of Tang Group's change of ownership, name change, and successful listing application seven times.

The only instance where personal information was provided was for Tang Wan.

Ms. Tang is about to firmly establish herself as the richest woman in the province. After the company goes public next year, Tang Wan, who holds 90% of the group's shares, is expected to challenge the list of Asia's richest people.

Tang Wan appeared in person in newspapers and on television, and the public was amazed by her beauty.

During casual conversations, people often say that she is the most beautiful woman in the East China Sea, and wonder who will marry her.

For months, the group's retail business has seen a five percentage point increase month-on-month simply because of Tang Wan's face. The reason is simple: the posters at the entrances of supermarkets and shopping malls have all been replaced with Tang Wan's image.

Fully booked every day!

The first thing the media company did after its restructuring was: Boss, please be the spokesperson for the company.

Tang Wan originally wanted to find Zuo You, but Xia An said that it would be fine to change the spokesperson after the company goes public.

Dongshan Daily, Donghai Province.

On the evening of November 18, 2006, an urgent instruction was received from higher-ups: the original headline, "Tang Wan and Her Sugar Persimmons Are Both Sweet," was changed to "Internet Domain Names: Recreating Young Millionaires in Our Province!"

The content of the notice was issued directly by the General Office, so the layout is fine.

During the proofreading process, several proofreaders at the newspaper were completely baffled.

A freshman, three hundred million, Xia An…

Oh dear, the flower picker is here.

Zhenzhen said she doesn't know many celebrities in mainland China, and if she were to go through Hong Kong or Taiwan artists for introductions, the public relations costs would be very high.

[It doesn't matter if it's mainland China, Hong Kong, or Taiwan; once we have thirty people, the rest will come on their own.]

The newspaper informed me that they've replaced my front page with yours.

Are you happy?

[Yes, I'm happy. Su Su was a little disappointed when she heard you made 300 million from selling the website.]

What was she disappointed about?

She said she regretted getting a PhD and should have started her own business. You should comfort her and tell her that there's a much higher chance of losing 300 million yuan in a startup.

Tang Wan and Su Yi went to watch cartoons. Xia An sat up from her bed in the dormitory and quietly watched Qi Buyang and Lu Yao playing games below, as well as Lu Fei doing push-ups. She smiled slightly.

How much does youth cost?

Le Ning sent a goodnight text: [My mom says a woman can never forget her first man. If I've chosen you, I want to be with you. This time, I want to listen to her.]

Zuo You is still rushing to the evening show, but the news keeps coming in every day.

It snowed in Hengdian. She and Xuexue had hot pot in their RV that night. Mr. Qin from the film studio had invited her twice recently, but she didn't go.

I can go home for two days during New Year's Day. Are you coming back?

I'll pick you up, we'll go home together.

Before going to bed, Qi Buyang said, "I'll treat everyone to dinner next Wednesday night."

Lu Yao said, "Old Xia, Old Lu, it's Qi Pangzi's birthday. Let's fleece him without holding back."

Lu Fei said, "My birthday is in January, so I'll treat you all to drinks then."

Lu Yao asked Xia An, "You said you'd ask Teacher Xu for help with this, is she willing to come?"

Xia An said, "Yes."

Lu Yao asked Xia An, "After graduation, if I find a good job, will I be able to win her heart?"

Xia An said, "Yes."

Lu Yao hugged the blanket and chuckled mischievously, filled with anticipation for four years to come.

Qi Buyang laughed and scolded, "Do you think someone like Teacher Xu can be kept around for four years for you to date?"

Lu Yao's words struck him like a thunderbolt.

Xia An said, "Yes."

Lu Yao sat up abruptly, asking with immense sorrow, "Then what should I do?"

Lu Fei yawned and said in the darkness, "I've noticed that Wu Xun has been staying in his dorm room for the past two days."

Qi Buyang said, "I heard you're reading a novel."

Xia An told Lu Yao, "You should also read the novel; it has everything."

……

Sunday, May 2006, 11.

Weather: Sunny, with a slightly pungent smell.

At 9:00 AM, the average temperature in Donghai Province was -5 degrees Celsius.

Unable to resist the sales representative's pleas, the Yuzi Fresh Supermarket ordered several newspapers at once.

As always, the morning and daily newspapers arrive at the mailbox early.

Wu Sufeng and Wei Xiaofang don't read newspapers, nor does Zuo Dashu. Xia Kangning usually takes the newspapers home, reads them, and saves them up, selling them by weight along with the scrap every three months.

I had breakfast at the pomelo restaurant next door. Lao Zuo's freshly pickled salted duck eggs were fragrant and oily.

After finishing their meal, Wu Sufeng and Wei Xiaofang went to the supermarket to check on the goods. The newly arrived apples and cabbages for winter were sold out. A newly ordered tuk-tuk was parked at the door, and the two of them went to direct the unloading.

Zuo Dashu wiped the table and swept the floor, looking at Xia Kangning with annoyance, and unfolded the newspaper like a lord.

"Old Zuo, is there any more hot water? The tea's gone cold."

"No! Burn it yourself!"

A drop of water fell from the teacup and splattered on the newspaper.

The two characters “Xia An” suddenly turned dark.

……

Zhou Ting sat in the first row of the audience, rolling her eyes as she watched the Lemon band rehearse on stage.

"That singing teacher is yours? Don't be ridiculous, he looks like a high school student. He's just messing around with you guys?"

Nearby, Xia An ate her mother-in-law's homemade steamed buns and said with a smile, "Well, you could say that he's a bit mischievous."

Zhou Ting glanced at him sideways and said, "You've contracted out this entire theater?"

"Yes, the renovation was just completed at the end of last month."

Agnes Chow scanned the entire venue for the third time; it was magnificent yet youthful in style.

"You did the renovations too? The school didn't pay for them?"

"It was originally abandoned, and it just sat there because I didn't fix it."

"how much did you spend?"

Xia An squinted and chuckled, "It's not much money."
