In a quiet night in Singapore, the hour hand quietly pointed to eleven o'clock. At Chen Ting's house, Ling Xiao's eyes were fixed on the computer screen in front of him. There were several words typing on it: College Entrance Examination Application Filling System.
In the center of the screen, where the first choice was, it was clearly written: Peking University Stomatology.
He is a human being, a living human being. His mother did give birth to him, but she never raised him. Why should he spend his life to repay the kindness that does not seem to exist?
Besides, they are rich and have caregivers, so they don’t need to feel sorry for themselves@
When the mouse hovered over the "Submit" button, it weighed as much as a thousand pounds, making it difficult for him to press it.
But no matter what, she is her mother!
At this moment, the lights in the room dimmed softly, and a small white figure came quietly. It was Little Orange in cute pajamas, holding an exquisite small cake in her hand, and the swaying candlelight on it reflected her innocence.
The innocent smile is as bright as the first blooming flower.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..." She hummed the birthday song softly, walked towards Ling Xiao step by step, and invited him to make a wish in her childish voice.
"Brother, make a wish."
Facing his sister's innocence and expectations, Ling Xiao's eyes flashed with tenderness, and he said calmly: "I never make a wish on my birthday."
"Why?" Little Chengzi raised his head, his eyes full of confusion and curiosity.
Ling Xiao smiled softly and explained: "Because my brother has never seen any miracles, so he doesn't believe in gods."
Hearing this, Xiao Chengzi frowned slightly, then shook her head and retorted with her young but firm voice: "No, the gods live high in the clouds, but they are too far away from us. But as long as
If we make a wish loudly in our hearts, they will surely hear us."
"Really?" Ling Xiao's eyes flashed with an imperceptible tenderness.
"Yeah!" Little Chengzi nodded vigorously.
At this moment, Ling Xiao's heart was deeply touched. He took the cake from Xiao Chengzi's hand, placed it gently on the table, and then blew out the flickering candlelight.
In the brief silence, he clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and made the most sincere wish in his heart.
With a "pop" sound, the lights in the room turned on again, dispersing the surrounding shadows.
Xiao Chengzi explained with some embarrassment: "Brother, I'm sorry, it was too late when I went to the cake shop and I could only buy such a small piece of cake."
Ling Xiao smiled and rubbed her little head, and said softly: "It doesn't matter, maybe I am destined to only get this small piece in my life."
"No!" Xiao Chengzi immediately retorted, with admiration and love for his brother shining in his eyes, "My brother is the best brother in the world! I'm going to get a fork right now, and let's eat cake together to celebrate!"
With that said, she jumped up and ran to the kitchen.
Looking at his sister's cheerful back, Ling Xiao's eyes fell on the volunteer form on the table again.
After a long time, he finally made up his mind and closed the computer screen resolutely.
"Is this what it means to grow up?" Ling Xiao asked himself silently in his heart and gave the answer at the same time.
Yes, this is growing up!
…
Luzhou, Li Haichao family.
"Hey, okay, okay! You can make up your own mind. Jianjian, she's not here at the moment."
Li Haichao held the phone, his eyes full of concern for Ling Xiao's children. From time to time he glanced at his daughter Li Jianjian, who was sitting on a chair with a gloomy expression. Her usual liveliness seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist.
After hanging up the phone, Li Haichao walked lightly to his daughter's side and comforted him gently: "Your brother said that he is going to Singapore to go to college and come back after college. It's the same as going to college in Kyoto. Anyway, it's a long flight."
It’s three hours, almost the same.”
Li Jianjian heard this, his face was as cold as ice, and he asked: "If it's the same, why doesn't he dare to come to me and tell me?"
Li Haichao had mixed feelings in his heart, but he was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to comfort his daughter's heart full of grievances.
He Ziqiu stood aside and said nothing, not knowing what to say.
Why doesn't Ling Xiao believe in his medical skills? Le Ye even praised that his current medical skills are a little bit as good as when he was young.
"I'm so confused!" Li Jianjian was emotional, gesturing with his hands and his eyes were red, "What kind of thing does this mean now? Aren't those irresponsible people outsiders?"
"Bang!" There was a sound, and the chair was suddenly pushed away. Li Jianjian stood in front of Li Haichao, with tears in his eyes and determination in his questioning.
"Dad, didn't you tell me when we were growing up? As long as we take care of each other and support each other, we are a family. No matter what others think, as long as we know in our hearts who is good to us and who we are close to, it will be fine."
"Yes...this is true, but isn't the reality not that simple?" Li Haichao said while quietly winking at He Ziqiu, "Look, if you are like this, will your elder brother and younger brother feel better?
?”
Li Jianjian was furious: "They don't feel good, how do I feel? They are all grown up. They don't need to talk to me or get my consent to make any decisions now. They don't need to agree to anything I do."
Do it.”
Seeing this, He Ziqiu hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him: "Okay, okay, you are so old and you are still crying. Don't worry, no matter who leaves, I will always be by your side. Last time Zhao Huaguang came to see me, I kicked him
He was kicked away, do you think he dares to appear in front of me now?"
Li Jianjian looked at He Ziqiu with tears in his eyes. Finally he couldn't hold it any longer and threw himself into his arms and cried loudly. "Wow!"
Li Haichao breathed a sigh of relief silently. Over the years, he had always accepted everything, silently doing his own thing and not comforting others. Fortunately, Ziqiu was always there.
After a long time, Li Jianjian's mood gradually calmed down. Before her tears dried, she sniffled and asked, "Brother, you smell so good. Can I hold you to sleep tonight?"
Li Haichao:???
He Ziqiu smiled and took out a wet towel and wiped his sister's face: "Look at you, you're crying like a little cat. You want to hold me to sleep, right? No problem, dad has no objection, and I have no objection."
Li Jianjian looked at Li Haichao expectantly: "Dad, I'm scared."
But Li Haichao resolutely separated the two people: "No, we are such big people, are you ashamed?"
As he said that, he picked up the little yellow cat that was bullying the birds on the balcony and put it into Li Jianjian's arms. "Master Le also smells like Ziqiu, and it will be the same when you hold him to sleep."
Little yellow cat:???
"Okay~" Li Jianjian said helplessly.
When will we be able to sleep in the same room as we did when we were children?
…
Ordinary people spend most of their time being ordinary and repetitive. They are accumulating day by day for changes or transformations in the future.
It's the same today. Li Jianjian is immersed in the summer vacation, and He Ziqiu has become a supervisor beside her in a new attitude. As for the others, Li Haichao opens a noodle shop, and Ling Heping is chasing fugitives outside.
, the little yellow cat sleeps, and when he wakes up, he goes to beat the dog.
Everyone has a bright future.
On the desk, the sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper was mixed with a hint of dissatisfaction from Li Jianjian. She muttered to herself, thinking that no one would be watching her homework after her eldest brother left. Unexpectedly, the fun and tolerant little brother in the past also started to
Already.
I have to do my homework anyway, so isn’t it true that my eldest brother is gone in vain? He’s losing blood!
"Dong dong dong..." There was a crisp knock on the door, breaking the tranquility in the house. After a moment, Li Haichao nervously opened the door, followed closely by three visitors, one of whom turned out to be
The highly respected Principal Wang of No. 8 Middle School.
Seeing this, Li Jianjian quickly stood up from his chair and shouted respectfully: "Hello, principal!"
Although she doesn't like studying, she respects the teacher very much. This may be the reverence of knowledge for a bad student.
Principal Wang looked at Li Jianjian with a smile, his eyes full of approval: "Student Jianjian, are you doing your homework? It's great. You can still study during the summer vacation. You are really persistent and perseverant, and you will be formidable in the future!"
This sudden compliment made Li Jianjian so excited that she could hardly believe her ears. This was the first time she had been praised by a teacher like this since she was a child!
There is smoke coming out of the old Li family's ancestral grave!
"Hello, grandpas, I'm going to get you a glass of water!" Li Jianjian was so excited that he didn't even have time to change his slippers, so he hurried to the kitchen. He Ziqiu also stood up and casually greeted Principal Wang: "
Hello principal!"
"Okay, classmate Ziqiu is also great!" Principal Wang nodded with satisfaction, and then changed the topic, "I came here this time with good news. Ziqiu, you have brought another big surprise to the school!
Let's go to the living room and sit down and have a good chat.
This is definitely a good thing for you."
Everyone moved to the living room, and after everyone sat down and took a sip of warm water, Principal Wang took out a heavy journal from the bag he carried with him.
His eyes were full of expectation, and he turned to He Ziqiu and asked: "I want to confirm first that the first and second authors of the first paper in this journal are He Ziqiu and Li Jianjian respectively, and the address is shown as our school
.
Was this paper completed entirely independently by the two of you, without any plagiarism?”
He Ziqiu glanced at the cover of the journal and nodded confidently: "Yes, principal, this paper was completed by Li Jianjian and I. All the data and formulas above have been measured and verified by us personally, without the help of any third-party agency
or characters.”
Hearing this, Li Haichao curiously picked up the journal and flipped through it. He was dazzled by the pages full of English letters. He barely recognized a few words, but the content of the entire article was like a heavenly book to him.
He smiled awkwardly and put the journal back on the table.
Seeing this, He Ziqiu smiled and explained: "Dad, this is an internationally renowned academic journal called "Journal of Applied Mechanics".
The title of the paper I published above is "The Nature of Aerodynamics", which elaborates on several general aerodynamic calculation formulas that I defined based on some experimental data, and how simple these formulas are in maintaining the balance and steering of the aircraft.
application."
"Oh~" Li Haichao and Li Jianjian nodded. They seemed to understand, but their eyes were so simple and clean, with a pure beauty that was not contaminated by knowledge.
The corners of He Ziqiu and the little yellow cat's mouths twitched.
"That's good!" The big stone in Principal Wang's heart finally fell to the ground. He turned around and introduced the two important people around him - one was wearing a crisp suit and was full of energy. He was Chen Tianyu, the well-known technical director of SF Express Group; the other
It is President Wu, the highly respected vice president of Luzhou University of Technology.
Manager Chen got straight to the point: "Classmate Ziqiu, our SF Express is planning to make a big move recently, preparing to develop a drone specifically for delivery. The brothers in the technology department have studied it, and the general formulas you wrote can greatly help
Advancing the progress of our project can help us save a lot of time.
To be honest, you are so talented and you are still in high school, so you are really underwhelming.
If you are willing, we can directly invite you to come to SF Express and build a special research department for you. You will be the head of the department and your annual salary will easily be millions. If there are more research results as awesome as this paper in the future,
The annual salary is guaranteed to be RMB 10 million."
After hearing this, He Ziqiu just smiled and shook his head: "Thank you, Manager Chen, for your kindness, but I really only like to do research and don't want to go to work."
Although Chen Tianyu was a little disappointed, he still took out an agreement from his bag and handed it to He Ziqiu.
"Okay, classmate Ziqiu, I respect your choice. However, I still hope you can consider it. If you want to work in the future, SF Express's door is always open for you.
In addition, I have something else I want to discuss with you this time, which is to use the general formulas in your paper to help us optimize the drone program. We are willing to give you a licensing fee of 300,000 per year, and you will sign five
Year."
When He Ziqiu heard this, he was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Principal Wang.
Principal Wang smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I have carefully read this agreement with a professional lawyer. Director Chen is a real person. The content and terms are fair and reasonable, and the price is also fair. It is not an exclusive agreement."
He Ziqiu thought for a while, and followed the instructions of Director Chen, signed various places on the agreement, pressed his fingerprints, and left Li Haichao's bank card number.
After signing the agreement, Director Chen directly called the group's finance department to urge payment. With such a small amount of money, he could still talk.
It didn't take long.
"Ding~"
Li Haichao's cell phone rang. When he opened it, he saw that it was a bank arrival text message.
[China Merchants Bank] Your account 9255 was credited with RMB 1,500,000.00 at 14:09 on July 27. For sound financial management, the consultation hotline is 95555.]
Looking at the payment message, Li Haichao was stunned for a long time and didn't come back to his senses.
After working hard all my life, I might as well just write a paper for my son. Is this learning to change my destiny? There is a golden house in the book?
At this moment, Li Haichao seemed to be injected with an invisible force. He suddenly straightened his spine and his body was as straight as a pine. His face was filled with unprecedented brilliance, red and full of energy.
Even now he dared to look directly into the eyes of several big bosses and looked at their appearance.
