Xia Zhaoyao, who was queuing in the Zhuyuan Canteen, suddenly realized this.
As the summer vacation comes to an end, more and more students are returning to campus.
The most powerful proof is that the canteen has started to line up.
When returning to the dormitory, Xia Zhaoyao happened to see the green campus commuter bus parked at the entrance of the apartment area.
Several senior girls were moving heavy suitcases off the pedals with their parents.
Huaijiang University does not allow unregistered private cars to enter the campus, but there are two fixed campus commuter bus routes.
School buses on different routes are painted with different patterns. The green bamboo and orchid represent the exclusive route of Xiaobei Peak, and the yellow chrysanthemum and plum patterns represent the exclusive route of Xiaonan Peak.
During the holidays, the bus runs every half hour. I heard that the bus will increase to every ten minutes after school starts. Teachers and students at school can directly swipe their campus card to board the bus.
Of course, differentiated fares are inevitable - one yuan per person for campus cards, and ten yuan for off-campus passengers.
"This is a commuter sightseeing bus——"
This was the explanation given by the driver when Xia Zhaoyao made an inquiry.
"Huaijiang University is considered half of the scenic spot. Doesn't the cable car in Mount Emei also charge a fee?"
"so good--"
Xia Zhaoyao glanced at the girls with some envy.
If there was no accident at home, she should still be packing her luggage at home, right?
Speaking of which, I wonder how Lao Xia is doing now. How are her mother and brother doing now?
For more than half a month, apart from mutual likes in the circle of friends, she and Chabon had no contact.
Chabon's new job is in Mauritius. Judging from his circle of friends in the past few days, the security, living and food there are pretty good - but the rest is hard to say. I heard that Lao Xia is responsible for a medium-sized infrastructure project there.
, the bulk of the project progress payment will still have to wait for several months. The only advantage at the moment is stability and the absence of life-threatening phone calls from creditors.
Maybe, after a while, we can have a video call with Lao Xia Tong? After all, he is abroad now, so he won’t be so arrogant...
Ding dong——
At this moment, Xia Zhaoyao's WeChat message suddenly shook several times.
【Please collect payment for ￥10000.00】
【WeChat transfer】
Chabon: Sister, my salary in Mauritius has arrived. I will pay you back part of it first.
Chabon: If it's not enough, I'll think of another way. Your child's schooling is a big deal, and it can't be delayed.
"..."
Xia Zhaoyao looked at the text on the screen, edited a few paragraphs, and then deleted them.
This was the code word she and Lao Xia agreed upon before they parted ways.
If Chabon said this, it means that his mobile phone information will be seen by a third party... Sure enough, someone is watching.
Thinking about it, since the project Lao Xia is responsible for this time is so far away, the domestic creditors will at least think of some ways to prevent him from disappearing from the world.
well.
Just keep acting.
Ding. You confirmed that you received the transfer from the other party.
Xia Zhaoyao thought for a few seconds, sighed softly, and replied on his phone.
"I got it, I'll tell the finance department."
"Lao Xia, you'd better deal with your own mess as soon as possible and return home as soon as possible."
"You don't need to take care of my family. Take care of your wife and children first. Don't make so much trouble when paying back the money next time."
【Xia Bang】:Okay, definitely next time.
Well, that should be fine.
Xia Zhaoyao glanced at the lonely reply and resisted the desire to continue replying.
Although she knew that her reply would definitely lead to a new answer, she had to restrain herself at the moment.
Besides, it’s just dawn here in Huaijiang, and Mauritius is four hours behind the country, so it’s probably still late at night over there, right?
It seems that Lao Xia has had insomnia again——
but……
Xia Zhaoyao looked down at the breakfast bag he was carrying.
Freshly ground soy milk and crispy golden fried dough sticks from the Huaijiang University cafeteria.
Oh, and there are also cute and cute thin-skin steamed buns, which are senior Tangtang’s favorite things.
Maybe she doesn't need to envy others...
Compared with those senior students who have to be picked up and dropped off by their parents, her "seniority" in school has long changed.
for example……
…………
"Ah, Daddy Swagger—I'm starving."
"...Tangtang, if you're hungry, let's go dine together. You're about to grow mushrooms."
Xia Zhaoyao skillfully dodged Tangtang's attack and put the dumplings on the open folding table.
"Besides, you are the secretary after all, the student secretary of the Sixth House of Zhuyuan——"
"The student secretary can't let the steamed buns fly over on their own."
Tang Qingying said disapprovingly, grabbed the steamed dumplings and stuffed them into her mouth, squinting her eyes happily.
Steamed from bamboo cages and pine needles, the steamed dumplings are juicy and fragrant. The minced pork filling under the thin dough is mixed with small white bits.
This is the specialty of Zhuyuan Canteen’s xiaolongbao, the only one in the surrounding area for several miles.
In Yancheng, they call it horseshoe or water chestnut.
However, in Huaijiang, people are more accustomed to calling this thing "Puqiuer".
The delicious and sweet "Puqiuer" mince neutralizes the greasy taste of the meat filling, and there is a faint scent of pine needles in the mouth, paired with freshly ground soy milk with a rich bean flavor...
Looking at Tang Qingying who was eating deliciously, Xia Zhaoyao felt like he was hungry again - he had just had breakfast.
This won't work, she must control her mouth, otherwise her weight will definitely be a nightmare next month.
“Master, it’s time for breakfast! The fried dough sticks won’t taste good when they’re cold——”
Xia Zhao shook his head, raised his head and shouted towards the upper bunk next to Tang Qingying's desk.
Frankly speaking, she sometimes even thought that Zhao Huanxi's decision to take her in was mainly because he didn't want to go downstairs to buy food.
"Stop shouting—our boss, Mr. Zhao, is making a phone call on the rooftop right now..."
Tang Qingying said vaguely and pointed in the direction of the ceiling.
"You don't know yet, but today is a big day!"
"Uh...big day?"
"Yes, that campus research project - Teacher Zhang called, and the acceptance results seem to be out."
Tang Qingying took a big sip of soy milk and swallowed the bun in her mouth.
"So fast?!" Xia Zhaoyao shouted in surprise.
During this period, except for the freshmen group, all of them devoted their energy to campus research.
They have been to almost every corner of the Huaijiang University campus, and the pictures and images alone have almost a G.
Of course, the rewards are also quite gratifying.
The day after the research report was sent out, the upfront payment arrived: Well, it was the five thousand yuan that Xia Zhaoyao received.
However, subsequent content evaluation will be reviewed by the student union, mainly to verify the authenticity of the content and whether there are any huge deviations in the research conclusions.
They don't have to worry about this. According to Zhao Huanxi, it's just a formality.
After all, they conducted all the research on the spot one by one. What really took time and effort was mainly the opinions of the alumni association:
As the final investor, if the adults feel that there is anything that needs to be supplemented or revised in these contents, then they have to revise it according to the other party's ideas.
Xia Zhaoyao originally thought he would have to wait for many days, but he didn't expect that the feedback would come out in just two or three days.
"Well, it means the process is very fast——"
"It seems like the big shots outside aren't that scary."
Tang Qingying said, she squinted her eyes and lay comfortably on the computer chair.
"Student union, entrepreneurship base, alumni association, school... four processes, is this normal?"
"Anyway, at the final acceptance stage, the contract price of 48,000 is almost stable. The most we can do is adjust the details."
"Eh?"
Xia Zhaoyao blinked and turned over the contract on the table.
"It says here that the balance will be remitted within three days after acceptance, which means..."
"That's right, when the joy comes back, we can start discussing dividends and celebrations."
Tang Qingying raised her fingers, shook them excitedly and said, her eyes as happy as those of a fox who got chicken.
It just so happened that Nintendo had just launched a few games. She had been coveting them for a long time, and now she could buy them freely.
On the other side, Xia Zhaoyao also felt uncontrollably excited.
The commission fee for this order from Huan Tang Wanshiwu is 48,000.
The seniors had promised her that she could get about half of the money after it was remitted.
Even after deducting taxes and the little money Qin Shuo received, she would still be able to get at least around 20,000 yuan.
Xia Zhaoyao calculated it carefully:
There are still more than 20,000 in the WeChat wallet, which adds up to 40,000.
The tuition fee stated in the registration instructions after the admission letter is 7,000, including the apartment fee, it is 8,200.
By being frugal and frugal, the total annual expenditure can be controlled within 20,000 yuan, and this does not include part-time work.
Well, so...
Xia Zhaoyao thought for a few seconds and opened WeChat on his phone.
"Lao Xia, I asked about the finance, but it's difficult for you to transfer it directly to my WeChat account."
"And if it is transferred in batches, it will not be easy to calculate the total amount and interest..."
Xia Zhaoyao paused for a while, holding his cell phone, and continued editing seriously.
"In this way, I will first transfer your previous round numbers back, and you will pay me back together when you have collected the money."
"My business here is pretty good for the time being, and I won't be in a hurry to spend money for at least a year or two."
【￥20000.00 pending payment】
【WeChat transfer】
call--
After Xia Zhaoyao finished entering the password, he breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, Xia Zhaoyao didn't know how much money Lao Xia's company owed.
However, if you think about it carefully, it shouldn't be too outrageous. After all, Lao Xia said that he could pay it off after working abroad for a few years.
Even if it's just a little bit, if you add up, you can at least let Lao Xia come back early, right?
As for her side...
Xia Zhaoyao took a look at his wallet balance.
￥7756.32
Well, at least the tuition is enough.
There is also a 5,000-cent bonus belonging to her in Huantang Wanshiwu's account.
After the final payment is received, her living expenses for the next year will be more than enough.
"Ah, there has never been such a wonderful start——"
Xia Zhaoyao couldn't help but sigh softly.
Before school started, she managed to scrape together enough tuition and living expenses by chance.
The name curse in the Book of Mountains and Seas is nothing more than metaphysics. Huaijiang is obviously her blessed place.
"Sister Sugar, let's go have a big dinner tonight! Let's celebrate our victory!"
"Absolutely--"
Tang Qingying answered without hesitation.
"Well, I'm going to look at Dianping to see what kind of meals there are... I remember that I planted a lot of grass before."
"Buffet Japanese food, old hot pot, Chaoshan beef, Thai food, Southeast Asian restaurants...we can choose -"
"——Master Kong's braised beef noodles, in a large bucket, for three people."
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the door.
The two of them turned their heads following the sound, just in time to see Zhao Huanxi push the door open and walk in with a gloomy face.
"Or, we also have a set meal that the student union can enjoy for the whole family."
"Eh?"
"Did something happen?"
Tang Qingying glanced at Zhao Huanxi, whose expression was obviously wrong.
"...Our research was completely dismissed...This is a trap."
Zhao Huanxi raised his phone, like a volcano about to erupt, and said in a deep voice.
"Teacher Xiao Zhang asked us to be mentally prepared, Wanshiwu may even have to lose money."
"They said our data was falsified and seriously deviated from reality, and they were ready to terminate the contract with us."
