The next day, when the scores for the first mock test of the new semester were announced, the first class seemed to be bound by invisible shackles, and the students' attention had already drifted elsewhere.
Until the class teacher walked lightly and posted the report card full of the hard work of the whole class on the bulletin board at the door of the classroom. In an instant, an irresistible force drove everyone to swarm in, and the scene was very lively.
For a moment, the students had different expressions. Some had their mouth corners raised, bursting with the joy of victory; some had expressions as calm as water, making it difficult to distinguish between joy and sorrow; some even had red eyes and tears welling up in them.
After the crowd gradually dispersed, Qi Mingyue and Li Jianjian went over to watch. Their results were the best. One was from top to bottom, the other from bottom to top. They could be seen at a glance.
"Third place? It's over! Now my mother is going to scold me again." Qi Mingyue sighed, her brows unable to conceal her disappointment.
But Li Jianjian, with a shining light in her eyes, shouted excitedly: "Third place? I am third too!" Then she turned around and gave her friend a big hug, jumping up and down. Declare: "I am third from the bottom, haha, I have made progress, I have made progress!"
Qi Mingyue:???
Sure enough, people's joys and sorrows are not the same.
Looking at the top scorer in the class, it is still He Ziqiu, first in the class, first in the school, with almost perfect scores in every subject. How did he take the exam?
Moreover, he was sitting in the last row of the classroom and didn't seem to care about the test results. This indifference and excellence made Qi Mingyue feel a warm current inexplicably - although she was not as good as him, she could keep up with him. Is it also a subtle happiness?
…
teacher's office.
After the results were announced, it was customary for the class teacher to talk to the students one by one, encourage them with good grades and tell them not to be proud, and teach them a lesson for those with poor grades.
Students are like this, without the pressure of life and family, so they must often get their distorted minds back, otherwise they will relax.
Learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't make progress, you will fall back. If you slack off and fail to keep up with the progress of the course, you will never be able to catch up again.
Until Li Jianjian saw this smiling girl who was third from the bottom in the exam, the class teacher was a little speechless. But this guy has such a good attitude, at least he doesn't have to worry about her jumping off the building because she didn't do well in the exam.
"Li Jianjian, why should you be proud of being third from the bottom? Tang Can has just transferred from another place and is not familiar with the examination scope at all. You are still essentially the second from the bottom!
Besides, is there a difference between the second to last and the third to last? Can you tell me the difference? Ah!" the head teacher asked loudly.
Li Jianjian responded confidently and seriously: "Yes!"
head teacher:???
"Go and stand at the door!"
…
The bell rang, ending the tense atmosphere of the first class.
He Ziqiu was pacing at the door of the classroom, his eyes falling on Li Jianjian standing guard from time to time, and he cast approving glances at her tall and straight posture.
As expected of his sister, she stood up for a whole class and was still full of energy, as if she could jump up and give him a leg at any time.
Li Jianjian glared.
"Brother Ziqiu, I have a gift for you!" At this time, a boy came over with a smile and a beautiful gift box in his hand.
This semester, He Ziqiu has become the "god of study" in the hearts of his classmates with his profound knowledge and unique insights. No matter how difficult a problem is, he can always make it simple, hit the nail on the head, and even
Sometimes the answers are more thorough than the teacher's.
In just one semester, the average grade of Class 25 has gone from the last in the school to the fifth from the bottom now. Therefore, the students in Class 25 respectfully call him "Brother Ziqiu."
As for gifts, that's normal. In just one semester, He Ziqiu's back row received a mountain of love letters, gifts, etc. Of course, some guys would give razors, shit, and the like.
Hey, this person is too good, and that’s not necessarily a good thing.
Then he took the gift and He Ziqiu politely thanked him.
He never refuses, is not responsible, and doesn't care about all gifts, love letters, etc. For other things, you can ask about study questions, but if you want to fall in love, just go away.
However, when He Ziqiu accepted this new gift, his brows inadvertently wrinkled. A familiar and complex smell quietly penetrated the tip of his nose, making him instantly think of someone - Zhao Huaguang.
What the hell is this guy doing? Does he want to die?
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Li Jianjian saw this and asked softly with concern.
In her memory, from childhood to adulthood, the little brother was always calm, gentle and considerate. She has never seen him like this now, dignified, majestic and oppressive, just like before lightning and thunder appeared, calm and gentle in the dark clouds.
The earth is churning, but the accumulation has not yet emerged.
very scary!
"It's okay." He Ziqiu shook his head gently, then turned and left.
…
playground.
Several students from Class 25 were sitting around on the steps sharing KFC chicken drumsticks. They were eating deliciously. When they saw He Ziqiu coming over, they said happily.
"Brother Ziqiu, we just found out today that your dad is not your dad? Your real dad seems to be quite rich."
"Why do you recognize your ancestors and return to your clan? Can you take us classmates with you?"
…
Looking at the teasing and envious expressions of his classmates, He Ziqiu shook his head.
Most people are like this. They are afraid that their brothers will have a hard time, and they are also afraid that their brothers will drive a Land Rover.
"Where did that guy go?" He Ziqiu's tone was calm, as if he was just asking about an insignificant topic.
"Oh, I just walked away for a while, it shouldn't be far."
…
In an instant, He Ziqiu quietly appeared at the corner of the stairs, facing Zhao Huaguang.
"Zhao Huaguang, aren't my words clear enough? Please stay away from my world, disappear completely, and never appear in my sight again, okay?" Although his tone was light, it was filled with unquestionable determination.
.
Zhao Huaguang frowned and said displeased: "Is this your attitude when talking to dad? I think you are a very smart person. You should know that studying well is of no use. In this world, if you want to do well,
Strength, luck, and connections are all indispensable.
What can the noodle shop owner give you? I work hard for a month selling noodles and earn a thousand or eight hundred dollars, which is not even enough for me to have a meal. Is this kind of life interesting?
He Ziqiu, open your eyes and take a good look at this world!"
"Haha!" He Ziqiu chuckled, with a trace of sarcasm flashing in his eyes: "Zhao Huaguang, do you think you really know this world very well? How much money do you have? One million, ten million? One hundred million? I want you to
It should be impossible for someone with such wisdom to control a fortune of more than 100 million."
"So what?" Zhao Huaguang said proudly: "Do you know how much 100 million is? Even if you empty out your noodle shop, you won't be able to put away that much money. As for making that much, you will have to work hard for ten lifetimes.
Come on, follow me, these will be yours from now on!"
He Ziqiu shook his head gently and said in a calm tone: "Zhao Huaguang, you have a too one-sided view of the world. In most cases, of course, strength, luck, and relationships are indispensable. But if your strength surpasses everything, then the world will work for you.
Give Way.
For example, I have a 99% chance of becoming the top candidate in the Huizhou College Entrance Examination in the future. In this way, I can earn at least one million yuan in income from various rewards and advertising endorsements.
Moreover, I have a unique understanding of learning. Last semester, I gave some casual guidance to my classmates, and the average score of all of them increased by at least three points, and the total score of some individuals increased by 50 points.
Do you know this concept? If I am interested, I can set up tutoring classes, do a little publicity, and supplement it with successful cases, and it will soon become a well-known brand in Huizhou and even the country. And there are tens of millions of college entrance examination students this year, and I only need to attract
One ten thousandth of it, in one school year, I can earn tens of millions.
Going one step further, through financing, mergers and acquisitions, and listing operations, it is not that difficult for me to make hundreds of millions or even billions of wealth?
But, I won’t do that!”
Zhao Huaguang looked surprised: "Why?"
Is there anyone in this world who doesn’t love money?
He Ziqiu said calmly: "I don't love money, I'm not interested in money! I think the happiest thing in the world is to be with my family, happy and noisy.
And these, Zhao Huaguang, you can’t give me!
I'll tell you one last time, get out! Get away! If you really force me to do it, you will know what true cruelty is!"
After saying that, He Ziqiu turned and left, leaving Zhao Huaguang alone, looking at the decisive figure from behind, his expression becoming more solemn.
At that moment, he seemed to really see in his son his former inviolable domination and determination. And also, the murderous intention!
But who is he? He is the biological father of this kid. A gentleman can bully him, so he doesn't believe that this unfilial son dares to risk the disdain of the world and actually kill him.
Besides, despite all the wind and rain in the past ten years, would he still be afraid of a little shriveled kid?
Come and see who is the best!
…
He's family, living room, the atmosphere is subtle and tense.
Zhao Huaguang put his hands behind his back, pacing slowly in an almost scrutinizing manner in Li Haichao's wary eyes, frowning from time to time, showing dissatisfaction.
Only when his eyes fell on the wall, the photos and various awards recording He Ziqiu's growth trajectory, did his expression soften slightly.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Huaguang asked politely: "Which room is Ziqiu's room?"
"It's the one in front of you." Li Haichao replied.
Zhao Huaguang stood at the door, glanced briefly, and then complained dissatisfiedly: "This room is too small. Even our kennel is more spacious than this. Can people live in this?"
Li Haichao said calmly: "It was originally a utility room. After Ziqiu came, we added a bed for him. When he graduates from college and gets a stable job, we will naturally consider buying a house for him in the city where he works.
.”
Zhao Huaguang curled his lips.
Bragging! House prices in big cities easily cost millions and tens of millions. Do you really think he can afford it easily?
"Hey, don't go in. Come on, have a drink of water first." Li Haichao grabbed Zhao Huaguang who wanted to "explore" further at the right time and pressed him down on his seat.
At this moment, there was a "squeak" sound, and Ling Heping pushed the door open and put on his slippers skillfully.
"Hey, you came back very early today! Didn't you arrest anyone outside?" Li Haichao greeted casually, and then introduced to Zhao Huaguang: "This is Ziqiu's godfather. He lives upstairs and is the deputy police detachment of our Shushan District.
team leader."
Ling Heping walked up to Zhao Huaguang, his eyes were like torches, and he looked up and down, as if he was examining a suspect. Zhao Huaguang stood up quickly, his previous arrogance instantly subdued, and he looked a little embarrassed.
After some pleasantries, the three of them sat down, and there was another awkward silence. Zhao Huaguang finally said: "Ziqiu, has he... ever mentioned me to you?"
"Oh, no." Ling Heping responded coldly.
Zhao Huaguang looked slightly embarrassed. After pondering for a moment, he said, "I came here today to talk to Ziqiu's adoptive father about Ziqiu. As a neighbor, shouldn't you avoid it?"
"He's not a neighbor, he's a godfather." Li Haichao corrected him directly and said firmly: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush with us."
"This seems inappropriate, right?" Zhao Huaguang said with a smile.
Li Haichao and Li Haichao just stared at him and stopped talking. Anyway, they only meant the same thing, whether they wanted to talk or not.
Zhao Huaguang smiled awkwardly and cleared his throat: "Then let me introduce my situation first. I have been living overseas for a long time and engaged in export trade. Did you also think of it? Yes, the conditions are very good.
Isn’t this recent? When my wife heard that my ex-wife and I had a child, she said that our family’s conditions are so good that this child cannot be justified both emotionally and rationally.”
Hearing this, Ling Heping sneered: "Then tell me, why can't you pass the law?"
Zhao Huaguang seemed not to hear his sarcasm and continued: "I have also learned something about Ziqiu. Brother Li, you and Anna Mei are not married yet, right? And Ziqiu's household registration is still in his grandmother's house. That's it.
This means that you and Ziqiu do not have any direct legal relationship."
At this point, he changed the subject and seemed quite sincere: "However, Brother Li, you are such a good man for raising Zi Qiu. I can't thank you enough from my heart."
Li Haichao's face gradually became serious, and he raised his hand to interrupt Zhao Huaguang: "Okay, I understand, you want to recognize Ziqiu back, right?"
Zhao Huaguang smiled honestly: "Isn't it because Anna Mei left because of poor conditions? It was also because I was poor at that time that I divorced my ex-wife. Before... I was really powerless. But now that the conditions are better, I want to try my best.
make up."
Ling Heping laughed angrily: "Your logic is ridiculous! Back then, you didn't care if the conditions were bad, but now that the conditions are good, you want to take the child back? Do you think the child was standing at that crossroads, with his mouth open, drinking from the northwest wind?
big?"
Zhao Huaguang looked at Li Haichao and tried to persuade him: "Brother, you are a sensible person. If you really want to treat Ziqiu well, it is best to let him recognize his ancestor and return to the clan. This will be good for everyone, right?
?
Moreover, the most you have spent on raising Ziqiu over the years is two to three hundred thousand. So, I will give you two million as compensation, what do you think?"
Li Haichao and Ling Heping looked at each other, their eyes full of sarcasm and disdain.
"Two million? I have never seen so much money in my life." "Yes, the stolen money I seized last time was one million. I can't even lift a big bag! I will never earn this much in my lifetime.
That's a lot!" "My noodle shop only makes 15,000 yuan a day, so when will it be sold?"
What the two of them said to each other was full of ridicule.
Zhao Huaguang saw this and said proudly: "It's nothing, it's nothing."
After a while.
"Get out!" With an angry shout, Zhao Huaguang was violently pushed out of the door. With a "bang", the door was slammed shut.
Standing outside the door, Zhao Huaguang was furious and yelled: "Poor guy! What kind of qualities! Since you don't want to talk about it, there's no need to talk about it! I'll let you know how powerful I am!"
"Meow~"
Zhao Huaguang turned around and saw a little yellow cat lazily basking in the sun on the balcony. He cursed disdainfully: "You can raise a cat so thin, you really are a poor family! What is it called?"
If you don’t have anything to eat, get out of here!”
Little yellow cat:???
After scolding, Zhao Huaguang felt much better. He turned around and was about to leave, but then he missed the point.
