There was a slight thunder in the distance, and there was a moist smell in the air. Everyone knew that a heavy rain was coming.
However, the raindrops have not yet fallen.
Xin Youling stopped in the corridor and looked up at the sky.
The already gloomy sky became even gloomier, with no shadow of the moon or stars visible at all.
She handed Zhang Chi 50 yuan and told him to keep an eye on Shang Caiwei.
Regardless of his character, she is quite reassured about Zhang Chi's ability.
She learned from many classmates that Zhang Chi was the former physical education committee member of Class 8. He had excellent physical fitness and was a 'quasi-athletic student', making him one of the strongest in the class.
Xin Youling sighed quietly in her heart. In fact, in terms of the strongest person in the class, Jiang Ning was the one she recognized most. Unfortunately, as the class monitor, she could not drive him at all.
Xin Youling thought of Jiang Ning. He went home extra early today and left more than 20 minutes early.
This was specially approved by the head teacher and she had no control over it.
In contrast, Xu Yan, the monitor of Class 11, keeps the entire class in order.
If it were Xu Yan, she would be able to handle the mess in Class 8, right?
…
Xin Youling imagined other people's lives, but some people's lives were destined to be beyond her imagination.
Chai Wei's heart is filled with fire, his eyes are shining with light, and his steps are like rushing waves!
At this time, not only was he alone, but Shan Xiao was also by his side. Of course, Chai Wei was now worried about Shan Xiao, so he called Qiang Li.
As soon as the get out of class was over, the three of them headed straight to their destination—the goldsmithing shop—without any further delay.
Shan Xiao reminded: "At this time, will the store be closed?"
Chai Wei's steps suddenly stopped. Ever since he learned that there was a ghost in the goldsmithing shop, he wanted to catch the other party, get back the gold ring, and let them receive the punishment they deserve.
In my desperation, I didn't even consider whether the other party was closing the door. After all, it was after nine o'clock in the evening.
Shan Xiao: "I have the contact information of the store owner. Let's call and ask now."
Just as Chai Wei was about to make a call, he suddenly remembered: "He has heard both of our voices. In order not to alert others, let's call someone else."
He signaled: "Come here!"
Qiangli immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed the number. Soon, the call was connected and Qiangli pressed the speaker phone:
"Boss, what time do you close at night?"
A voice came from the receiver of the mobile phone: "My usual closing time is 10 o'clock, are you okay?"
Qiang Li: "It's okay, it's okay, I'll just ask."
After saying that, he cut off the phone.
Chai Wei calculated the distance: "We have enough time, let's set off now."
After that, the three of them hurried on again.
Halfway through, Shan Xiao said: "I'm sorry for you. I shouldn't have recommended this store at the beginning. I didn't expect it!"
Qiangli said next to him: "You really shouldn't recommend it. I feel that 9 out of 10 goldsmith shops are bad, and the last one is even worse!"
"You can't see them when they're making jewelry for you, and they can steal some gold from you without you being able to tell. I don't understand why you go to a goldsmith's shop after buying gold in a regular store?"
When Chai Wei heard this, his face became a little dark. He was the one who suggested going to a goldsmith's shop to inquire about the recycling price. Who knew the gold had been hacked?
Shan Xiao did not want to embarrass Chai Wei and took the responsibility: "My, my, I didn't investigate well."
Seeing this, Chai Wei felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
He felt that Shan Xiao was good, but he also felt that Shan Xiao might have tampered with his ring. The two thoughts were intertwined, making it difficult for him to distinguish the world.
In the end, the three of them stopped talking and walked on in silence.
Shan Xiao is still smiling naively. With his method, he actually has ten thousand ways to do it. After he succeeds, no one will doubt him.
This comes from countless successes and builds self-confidence.
But constant success is too boring.
There always needs to be some excitement in life to make him feel happy.
Just like after countless successes, he returned to the scene to observe the victim's incompetence and rage; just like now, he deliberately caused Chai Wei's heart to twist and turn, and his blood to tremble.
Under the clouds, the Changye Street of No. 4 Middle School was dimly lit.
Shan Xiao walked steadily, sometimes crossing the bright lights, sometimes crossing the darkness under the lights.
Light and shadow intertwined randomly on his face, making his innocent smile a bit eerie.
…
Next to the long street, under the eaves of the shop.
A thin but capable boy, less than 1.7 meters tall, was moving quickly with a string of starch sausage.
The outer shell of the starch sausage is fried to a burnt color, and a layer of cumin and chili powder is sprinkled on the surface. When you bite into it, it is fragrant and not to mention the texture.
However, Ge Hao did not indulge in the delicious taste of starch sausage. He never forgot his task tonight, helping Duan Shigang and others to detect Chai Wei's movements.
While eating starch sausage, he walked naturally without anyone noticing his intention.
not far away.
Tang Jing had a stiff face and pestered Huang Yuzhu: "Yuzhu, let me treat you to spicy hotpot."
After she said these words, she felt so embarrassed.
Originally, she planned to treat Huang Yuzhu to a meal today, but the police came to the class to find Pang Jiao. All the evidence was presented, and seeing that Pang Jiao was about to be executed, she gave up on Huang Yuzhu.
Who would have known that there was something wrong with Chai Wei's silver-like wax gun tip, and it failed to kill Pang Jiao in one go.
It makes Tang Jing angry!
Since Pang Jiao is not dead, her plan will continue.
Huang Yuzhu looked at Tang Jing, very puzzled. She had looked disdainful in the afternoon, but now she started to invite him to dinner again.
'Girls are so complicated!'
‘I can’t see through it, I really can’t see through it!’ Huang Yuzhu scratched his head.
…
At the school gate, the east-facing facade of the snack street is Xiaohu Malatang Shop.
This spicy hotpot shop has a very good business because of its cheap price and great taste.
Lin Zida, Zhuang Jianhui, Wu Yunzhi, children from wealthy families, all came here to have dinner.
At this time, Jiang Ning was sitting at a table for four people in the store.
In his previous life, when this store was open, he had come to eat there, but at that time, the store only had fried rice and fried noodles, and no spicy hotpot.
Until later, the business of this store was gradually bleak. The owner made a bold attempt and added spicy hotpot, and it became popular from then on.
Jiang Ning came here for dinner last month and chatted with the boss. A casual mention opened up new ideas for him and led to the launch of this spicy hotpot ahead of schedule.
At this time, there were not only Jiang Ning, but also two girls, Xue Yuantong and Xue Chuchu.
Jiang Ning went home more than twenty minutes early today just to pick up Chu Chu.
It doesn't count as a pick-up, after all, Chu Chu didn't take his battery car.
"Chu Chu, this spicy hotpot is delicious. It's very spicy and delicious. It's even better than the one in our town!"
this store.
Xiaohu Malatang is an old-fashioned Malatang, priced at 7 yuan a portion, with kelp, vermicelli, green vegetables, bean dip...
All vegetarian dishes are paired together and placed in the owner's homemade soup pot. There is no risk of flavor contamination. It tastes spicy and delicious, and you can't stop eating it.
In my previous life, there were many people in this store, and there were often long queues.
He didn't like queuing, so he often came here to eat spicy hotpot before going to class during evening self-study, and then walked back to the classroom at the last ditch under the solemn gaze of the security guard at the door.
At that time, he invited Shen Qing'e to Xiaohu Malatang more than once.
However, Shen Qing'e in her previous life loved serving it very much and didn't look down on this kind of Malatang at all. Even if she ate Malatang, she would have eaten it at a shop similar to the later generation's "Zhang Liang Malatang" instead of the sloppy old-fashioned Malatang.
"Okay, okay!" Boss Hu shouted.
Xue Chuchu left her seat and walked to the front. She was dressed very well today. She wore a floral skirt and a denim jacket. One was as gentle as water, and the other was wide and stylish, achieving the effect of both strength and softness.
She bent down slightly and picked up the steaming Malatang. The light in the store showed a bright and warm color. The girl's waist was smooth and soft, like a swaying willow. Her carefully carved profile was even more touching.
Not only does she look stunning, Xue Chuchu is also top-notch in her work. She holds a spicy bowl in each hand, with a light and graceful posture, and steadily brings the bowl to Jiang Ning's table.
Xue Yuantong also brought a bowl, while Jiang Ning took the chopsticks, and the three of them ate at the same table.
After a while, the boss’s daughter made three portions of sesame seed pancakes with tenderloin, and gave them to Jiang Ning with a smile:
"Brother, eat the cake."
"Thank you, Sister Hu."
Hu Mei was very pleasant to talk to and was very happy after meeting Jiang Ning. Unfortunately, every time he came to eat Malatang, he always brought beautiful girls to eat, and there were two of them...
However, this does not affect Hu Mei's gratitude to him. Her parents are in business, and she often comes to the store to help. Hu Mei is a junior high school student in Xincheng Experimental Middle School. At this age, she knows the bleakness of her family's business and knows better about life.
Not easy.
If this eldest brother hadn't come to dinner some time ago and reminded her parents, I'm afraid her parents' shop would have closed down and gone back to the days when they were selling things on the roadside and being chased by the urban management.
Although Jiang Ning just mentioned it casually, even if he didn't mention it, according to the normal trajectory, Hu Mei's family would put Malatang on the shelves in a month, but in the eyes of Hu Mei's family, he is a proper benefactor.
Xue Chuchu bit into a piece of sesame cake and tasted the hot Malatang. She ate it with gusto. Because it was spicy and hot, her face was rosy and looked like water dripping when she pinched it.
This is what Tang Jing saw when he walked into the store.
She looked at Jiang Ning, who was enjoying spicy hotpot in the store, and then at the queue in front of her. Tang Jing felt strongly resentful in her heart!
'It turns out that Jiang Ning ran away early and came here to eat spicy hotpot. Can I report him?' This thought came to Tang Jing's mind.
'Even if you report it... it's useless, right?'
Jiang Ning is second in grade, and Xue Yuantong, who is first in grade, covers him.
Lin Zida, the leader of the queue at Malatang, stood at the foot of the stairs, holding a piece of torch ice cream in his hand, eating very enthusiastically.
Li Shi looked at the long queue and wondered: "Is it really delicious? Did you recommend it one or two?"
Fang Qiuyue, the monitor of Class 2, also took a torch ice cream: "Believe me!"
"Okay, then line up." Li Shi said, "If it's not delicious, don't blame me for complaining and making me line up."
Hearing this, Qi Tianheng smiled.
The loser Zhao Xiaofeng also laughed and said: "My Brother Tian, I never queue up."
After that, he swaggered to the front of the line and patted the glasses guy on the shoulder: "Brother, can you let me buy it first?"
The guy with glasses looked worried: "It took a lot of effort for me to get here, but you can tell me..."
Zhao Xiaofeng took out a hundred-dollar bill and flicked it twice with his fingers, making a charming sound.
The guy with glasses: "Brother, you are so handsome!"
He happily took the 100 yuan and didn't even eat the spicy hotpot. He wanted to have barbecue today!
Zhao Xiaofeng shouted: "Boss, 5 portions are served with spicy hotpot!"
When Li Shi and the others stepped into the store, they spotted Jiang Ning and the extremely beautiful girl beside him.
Qi Tianheng is so funny, he takes other girls to eat spicy hotpot?
He shook his head, 'This is the life of ordinary people.'
However, Qi Tianheng was too smart to find any fault. He knew that Jiang Ning was extremely powerful and it would be too embarrassing if he got beaten up here.
After Li Shi looked at Jiang Ning, she blurted out: "You guys also eat spicy hotpot, the queue is very fast."
Xue Yuantong: "He left school early and didn't have to queue."
Li Shi's words were stuck, and she thought to herself: "What's so great about it?"
Lin Zida said hello, and Zhuang Jianhui glanced at Xue Chuchu a few more times. This girl is so pretty, as good as Ding Shuyan...
However, if there is a true comparison, Zhuang Jianhui believes that this girl's appearance is probably the only thing that can compare with Shu Yan.
Ding Shuyan is now studying business with her aunt, and Lin Han has handed over a lot of power to Shuyan. It is said that Ding Shuyan also participated in the new product launch conference planned by Lian Chang Qingye recently.
One is an ordinary girl who luckily has the ultimate appearance, and the other not only has the ultimate appearance, but also has the ability to match it. Where is the gap?
However, looking at Xue Chuchu's breathtaking appearance and temperament, Zhuang Jianhui still lamented that with such an appearance, as long as he followed the instructions step by step, countless people of his level would pursue him just based on his appearance.
"Jiang Ning, where did you buy your cake? It looks delicious." Lin Zida asked.
Jiang Ning looked at Hu Mei's busy figure and said: "The boss did it, but I'm afraid I don't have time to do it now."
Xue Yuantong showed off: "Limited edition."
Li Shi thought to herself: 'What's so great about it?'
Ten minutes later, Jiang Ning and the others finished their Mala Tang and put 40 yuan on the table. Unexpectedly, Hu Mei stuffed the money back before he even walked out.
Jiang Ning reluctantly ate a meal.
"Good guy, don't you need to charge money?" Lin Zida was stunned, "Could it be that a relative drove it?"
Hu Mei looked at Lin Zida and clarified: "We are not relatives."
Zhuang Jianhui wondered: "Why don't you charge money?"
Hu Mei looked at Zhuang Jianhui. The boy's appearance was too in line with her aesthetics, and she would not bring two beautiful girls with her every time she ate. She patiently explained:
"Some time ago, our family was about to go bankrupt. When he came for dinner, he told us that we could try making spicy hotpot. As a result, as soon as my family started making spicy hotpot, business immediately picked up!"
"You said he came to eat, should we charge him?"
During the conversation, Hu Mei was full of admiration.
Lin Zida reacted for a while and then said: "Does he have such good taste?"
Li Shi was dumbfounded, and then continued to disdain: "Oh, I was just right, what's the big deal?"
Hu Mei looked serious: "You are not allowed to say that!"
