Chapter 023
"Hello, uncle!" Niece Xiaojing greeted her affectionately.
"Xiao Jing is here too. Why are you still carrying your schoolbag when you come to uncle's place to play? You are already very good at your homework, so you don't have to work so hard." Shang Yixi smiled and took the schoolbag from his niece and carried it with his hands.
Good guy! So heavy!
"Don't say that. You don't know how hard today's children work. There is a boy in their class who was not very good at his homework. In this placement test, he will definitely be transferred to Class 9. As a result, the results
As soon as he came out, the boy actually reached the line."
"Exams are unpredictable. Maybe I didn't study hard some time ago!" Shang Yixi responded disapprovingly.
"In the past, he was really bad at math, and he always failed! Recently, for some reason, his grades are getting better and better. At first, we all thought he was cheating, but recently, I discovered that that's not the case! Yesterday
In the exam, he actually scored five points more than me." Xiao Jing took over the conversation and complained a few words.
"When you see your classmate making progress in his studies, you should be happy for him. Xiaojing, we have to be more generous." Shang Yixi responded with a smile.
"I don't! I already study better than him. Next time, I will be ten points ahead of him." After that, Xiaojing took out the book from her schoolbag and went to find her cousin Xiaodi to do her homework.
Shang Yixi smiled and shook his head, feeling that there might be something wrong with his sister's education method.
"Don't laugh, Xiaodi will face the same situation in the future. Today's children can do it! Every year in the college entrance examination, no matter how difficult the questions are, there are a lot of students with perfect scores. Faced with such competition
You're not nervous when you're under pressure?" Shang Yixi's sister asked strangely.
"Then what's there to be nervous about? Xiao Di is only in the third grade of elementary school, and it's still early for the college entrance examination! You shouldn't encourage Weishan to enroll Xiao Di in some Mathematical Olympiad class, causing your nephew to be distracted all day long, and he's not even a little bit nervous.
unhappy."
"Hurry up, if you don't lay a solid foundation in mathematics now, you will regret it in the future! Forget it, telling you this is just talking to a cow! By the way, it's been almost three months since you came back, right? Weishan
You have asked me several times in private, what are your plans?"
Shang Yixi's lover is an executive of a toy company. The company's board of directors has a meeting tonight and has not returned yet.
"Business is difficult! Fortunately, I didn't persist, otherwise, the losses would only be greater."
"What do you mean, your colleagues around you are struggling to survive?" Shang Yixi's sister didn't quite believe what her brother said.
"Zhang Chengqi remembers it, right? He called me last week and said that he regretted listening to his father-in-law. The money he invested later has now been almost lost. He is currently considering whether to continue to persevere!"
"Tch! I think all of you are cowards. How can you do business without losing money? Like us, Mr. Shi, who lost so much money back then without even frowning. Isn't it true that we are successful and famous now?"
"Do you, Director Shi, still play Go recently?" Shang Yixi didn't want to talk about the business world with her sister, so she casually changed the topic elsewhere.
"We, Mr. Shi, don't have that much free time! Don't change the subject. You're like a big man, you can't stay at home and rest on your laurels! No matter how virtuous Weishan is, she won't tolerate her husband sitting at home and taking advantage of everything! If this continues,
Do you know that it will affect your relationship as a couple?!"
"Sister! It's not as serious as you said. I'm just recuperating at home for a while. I'm not idle at ordinary times."
"Really? Why did I hear Weishan say that you are thinking about Go at home all day long?!"
Shang Yixi heard that Ding Weishan had hidden away on purpose and brought her aunt here to inquire about her husband's future plans.
In fact, before returning to Lishi, Shang Yixi called Ding Weishan many times to explain why she suddenly transferred the company and returned to Lishi alone. At that time, Ding Weishan did not raise any questions, but only advised her husband to think carefully.
Perhaps it was because she had been idle at home for a little too long, so Ding Weishan became a little out of sorts.
Before getting married, Shang Yixi discovered that Ding Weishan was a bit suspicious by nature.
"How can I have time to play Go! I want to find a way of thinking through Go. This new thinking can help me readjust my direction. As you know, the investment direction is wrong. No matter how obvious the technical advantage is, no matter how abundant the funds are,
That’s useless, it will only make you lose money faster.”
"Then... have you found that so-called new idea? Don't tell me that you have to stay at home for at least three to five years!"
"How could it be?! Recently, I got to know a gentleman named Xia. His way of thinking about playing Go makes me feel refreshing. Perhaps, he has the new ideas I am looking for."
"Why does this sound so bizarre?! Who is this Mr. Xia?"
"Buyer for a small company."
"What?! Buyer? A small company? Yixi! Your taste in making friends has dropped too much, hasn't it? He really has such great ability, why does he still need to stay in a small company to do purchasing?! It's simply a fantasy.
Tan!”
"Sister! You have never seen him in person, he is very impressive!"
"which company?"
"Qi Bao Tang."
"I've never heard of it. What kind of business does it do specifically?"
"It seems to be a pharmaceutical and medical complex. I don't know the details. Mr. Xia is not in the company. He is currently in the countryside inspecting Chinese herbal medicines for the company!"
"Isn't it?! You must have met a liar, right?"
"How is that possible! You can also play Go. If you find time to play a few games with him some other time, you will know how good he is."
"Tch! The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it is! Anyway, I brought it to you. As for how you deal with it, that's a matter for you two. In a word, no matter what you think, don't keep it in your heart and be honest with Weishan.
Just a little! If you have something to say openly, don’t make her complain to our parents in the end. We are both grown up, and we can’t let our parents worry about us anymore.”
"knew."
"I'm hungry! What's for dinner?"
"Let Aunt Cai cook a few dishes, and I'll make noodles for you and Xiaojing?"
"Okay, you have to take what I say to heart. Wei Shan has a lot of eyes on her. You can't be too careless when living with her."
"I obey my sister's orders! You have a drink first, and I'll help with the cooking."
"Um!"
Looking at his younger brother's leaving figure, Shang Yibei shook his head gently, took out a compact and ultra-thin laptop from his bag, and sat on the edge of the coffee table, processing the business documents he had not finished yet.
It was probably time for his brother to prepare dinner, so Shang Yibi sent a message to his sister-in-law, asking her to come back early for dinner.
When Aunt Cai had almost arranged the dishes, Ding Weishan drove back.
The family finished their dinner talking and laughing. Shang Yibi had something on her mind. After sitting for a while, she greeted her daughter to go home.
Watching his sister's luxury car driving away, Shang Yixi raised his head and looked at the night sky, wondering where he could find a Go master to stimulate Xia Xiaoshu.
"As long as the opponent is strong enough, I believe he can force Xia Xiaoshu to use skills other than Go. By then, maybe I can discover something particularly valuable." Shang Yixi thought to himself.
Turning back to the living room, Shang Yixi found that Ding Weishan was urging his son to go upstairs to do math problems. Shang Yixi couldn't help frowning, but since his wife already had a grudge in his heart, he didn't say anything more.
Back in the study, Shang Yixi thought of his niece Xiaojing's math teacher, Su Lifei.
"Her chess skills are far superior to mine! Why not ask her to talk to Xia Xiaoshu for a few games and see if she can force Xia Xiaoshu to use skills other than Go." Shang Yixi thought to himself.
