Chapter 20 Oh no, something's going to happen to Xiaoyu and the others!
Chapter 20 Oh no, something's going to happen to Xiaoyu and the others!
After the meal, Ye Kai stayed at the Shen family's house for less than half an hour.
"Uncle Shen, please remember my words and put them into practice as soon as possible."
Time waits for no one.
Before leaving, he gave Shen Mingsun another piece of advice.
"..."
Shen Mingsun was still processing the information provided by Ye Kai. Hearing this, he nodded but remained silent.
At this moment, saying a few more words is meaningless; everything depends on whether the subsequent actions are effective.
"Jiajia".
"Could you please see Xiao Ye off for us?"
Jiang Xin was also unsettled, so she gave instructions to her daughter, Shen Jiayi.
"oh."
Shen Jiayi responded and pulled Ye Kai into the elevator.
"What did you and Dad talk about? He seems to be preoccupied."
After the elevator doors closed, Shen Jiayi couldn't help but start questioning Ye Kai.
In the past half hour, Ye Kai and Shen Mingsun had a closed-door meeting. Director Jiang and Shen Jiayi, mother and daughter, did not know what they discussed. The only thing they were sure of was that it was an important topic concerning whether Shen Mingsun could be directly promoted to the position.
Shen Jiayi looked at Ye Kai, who was tilting his head slightly to look at the top of the elevator door, and thought to herself, "Do you have two herniated discs? We're all high school students, so why are you so prominent?"
"Oh, right."
"After having two drinks, I almost forgot about the important matter."
Ye Kai suddenly slapped his forehead and pulled a red envelope out of his pocket.
"No way, you're going to give me New Year's money?"
Upon seeing this, Shen Jiayi immediately giggled, looking quite happy.
"You're overthinking it."
"It's just paying back the money."
"A few days ago I borrowed five thousand US dollars from Uncle Shen and fifteen thousand seven thousand in cash from you. I also borrowed two hundred yuan through Alipay. Now that some of the funds have been recovered, I'll pay back the debts first."
Ye Kai opened the red envelope and showed it to Shen Jiayi. Inside were two stacks of US dollars, each worth five thousand US dollars.
"Wouldn't that be too many?"
"Not to mention the $5,000 my dad borrowed, the remaining $5,000 is equivalent to more than $30,000 in cash, which I can't accept."
Shen Jiayi was somewhat surprised, wondering what Ye Kai had done with that money. But the rate of return was too high. In just a few days, her investment had doubled. It was an astonishing speed at which she made money.
As the old saying goes, "If you borrow and repay, it's easy to borrow again."
"The short-term investment I made was inherently highly profitable, but no one can guarantee that they can keep winning."
"Please accept this money. Otherwise, how can I possibly ask you for money again in the future?"
"Alright, it's a bit cold outside, and you're not dressed warmly enough. Go back inside now."
The elevator doors opened, Ye Kai patted Shen Jiayi's arm on the outside, and then waved goodbye to her.
"this……"
Shen Jiayi held the red envelope in one hand and touched the spot where Ye Kai had just patted her with the other, unsure of what to do.
She was incredibly kind to Ye Kai, but Ye Kai was twice as kind to her.
Such a large red envelope is really hot to hold.
……
"Brother Ye Kai!"
Happy New Year!
Just as Ye Kai left the Yayuan residential area, he heard someone calling his name from behind. The voice was very clear and crisp.
"Small fish?"
Thank you, and Happy New Year!
Ye Kai looked at Chen Xiaoyu, who was skipping and hopping towards him, with some surprise, and smiled as he returned the greeting.
This top student from Xinghua No. 1 Middle School wore a light blue cashmere coat, a thick, colorful scarf around her neck that covered most of her face, and a beige woolen hat, wrapping herself up tightly.
"The weather can't be that cold, can it?"
Ye Kai looked down at his spring jacket, then at Chen Xiaoyu who looked as chubby as a panda, and suddenly began to doubt himself.
"This photo turns out great!"
"We invited some classmates to go take photos at Jinwu Mountain!"
Chen Xiaoyu tilted her head, made a super cute gesture, and explained to Ye Kai with a sweet smile.
"Oh, that makes sense, since it's windy and cold up in the mountains."
"What are your plans for the journey? How long do you intend to stay? Have you prepared any safety contingency plans...?"
Looking at his childhood friend's younger sister in front of him, Ye Kai couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
"It can't be that bad..."
"Four hours should be enough for us to go round trip. Let's set off now and be home before dark."
Chen Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue.
Brother Ye Kai is so good to her. What he said just now was like that of a parent. Although it was a bit long-winded, it made her feel his deep care and warmth in her heart.
"Little fish, hurry up!"
Not far away, a minibus painted with Xinghua Tourism was parked. About twenty male and female students had gathered under the bus, and some of them were greeting Chen Xiaoyu and asking her to get on the bus.
"Brother Ye Kai, I'm going now!"
Chen Xiaoyu looked back at her classmates in the distance and then said goodbye to Ye Kai.
Go!
"be safe!"
Ye Kai couldn't help but touch her woolen hat and said with a smile.
"Hey, wait a minute!"
Then he suddenly remembered something and quickly called out to Chen Xiaoyu.
"What's wrong, Brother Ye Kai?"
Chen Xiaoyu looked at him with some confusion.
"It's colder up in the mountains."
"I happen to have some chocolate here, I'll take it with me to eat on the way and increase my energy."
Ye Kai gave most of the candy he had just brought back from Shen Jiayi's house to Chen Xiaoyu.
"Thank you, Brother Ye Kai!"
Chen Xiaoyu was very happy. After thanking him, she skipped away.
"Hehe, what a child."
After smiling and watching Chen Xiaoyu leave, Ye Kai continued walking home.
Throughout the journey, he felt as if he had forgotten something, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
The afternoon was another time for Ye Kai to cram biology questions. He planned to go through all the material he needed to review in the next two days and try to make up for his weakness in biology.
If this goal can be achieved, then his overall score could definitely challenge some of the top programs at top-tier 985 universities.
To ensure that President Ye has a respectable academic background in the future, we'll go all out!
"Damn it!"
"I finally got a second chance at life, I should be able to relax and enjoy it, but I never expected to be poisoned by the college entrance exam!"
Ye Kai opened a new set of exercises while grumbling and started working on them.
Playing games can be addictive, and so can doing practice problems, especially when you see your grades improving and your ranking on the senior year leaderboard rising again and again. It's hard to stop doing that.
"My dear grandson."
"I've made winter melon and pork rib soup. Come down and have some soup."
After an unknown amount of time, Grandma Xu Jingyuan called Ye Kai to come downstairs for soup.
"They're here!"
Ye Kai was doing so many practice problems that he was feeling dizzy and disoriented. After hanging up the phone, he went downstairs to the living room.
The soup bowl was placed on the dining table, and Grandma Xu Jingyuan was rummaging through the storage room for something.
"Grandma, what are you looking for?"
Ye Kai scooped out a bowl of soup, tasted it and found it was still very hot, so he went to the storage room to see what his grandmother was doing.
"The weather forecast just said there would be a blizzard today."
"I'll look for some old frost-proof cloth and wrap it up to protect those precious trees in the yard from freezing."
Xu Jingyuan replied.
snowstorm?
Ye Kai rubbed his temples with his fingers, and suddenly the image of the minibus painted with "Xinghua Tourism" came to mind. A long-dormant piece of news finally surfaced.
"not good!"
"Little Fish and the others are going to be in trouble!"
Ye Kai suddenly stood up, knocking the chair over to the ground with a loud bang.
