I need Chapter 30 too!
Li Chao quickly finished the Chinese exam. He still had a lot of time left, but his mind was filled with other things.
After thinking about the statistics provided by Wen He, it turned out that a total of 50,000 yuan could be borrowed.
I thought that even if I opened an account today, it wouldn't be approved until Monday, and I wouldn't be able to trade until Tuesday at the earliest. Will the "Breakthrough Dragon" (a stock in the Chinese stock market) start moving on Tuesday?
Hopefully, it won't start with a limit-up move on Monday, otherwise I won't be able to get in on Tuesday.
Without access to favorable channels, one can only watch helplessly as a stock hits a limit-up price with low trading volume.
I also thought about the math exam in the afternoon, and what reason would be best to give for skipping it.
Although being a top student is fun, given his current situation, if he had a choice, he would definitely prefer to appear as a poor student.
That way, there's no need for all sorts of pretense; it's exhausting.
However, he couldn't be a poor student, since he had always been among the top students in the school throughout high school, and was first in his grade when he went from his junior year to his senior year.
Some character designs either remain bad forever, like Wen He's 200-point character design, or they can only remain strong, at least their strength has to match.
Li Chao can rank first in the grade, tenth, or even hundredth, but he can't rank eight hundredth or one thousandth...
At that time, all your problems will be magnified.
Using your phone? Phone confiscated!
Staying out and having fun? No way, go back to your place!
Distracted in class? Are you in a relationship? Who is it?
To put it bluntly, Li Chao had no doubt that Qin Zhiguo would be watching him 24/7, and would even sleep with him.
Anyway, at his age, he can go three to five months without sex without any pressure, and he might even be hoping for it.
She couldn't very well fall out with Qin Zhiguo and stage a scene of cutting ties, telling him to leave her alone, or running away from home.
If you can't find a suitable excuse, secretly take a picture of the exam paper during the exam and send it to Wen He so that Wen He can answer the questions remotely for you.
That's feasible, but it's far too obvious. Even if the teacher isn't lax in proctoring, it doesn't mean they won't see your constant fidgeting.
The answer Wen He sent was so difficult to copy that even I couldn't easily do it. Should I put my phone on my desk? Or under the desk, since I was constantly looking down?
It can only be considered as a backup route, since there are a lot of books on the desks. As long as you pay attention to when the teacher comes down and walks around, there is still a chance to succeed.
Generally, when he selects stocks, he rarely includes those in the "backup" category. Since they've been relegated to the "backup" category, it means there must be a very clear problem, and if it erupts, it will be no small matter.
At that time, Li Chao's browser history on his phone might be dug out one by one.
Besides these, Li Chao thought of some other things...
Before I knew it, the exam was over.
I handed in my paper, went back to my seat to tidy up some things, and left.
His action was abnormal. Normal students would hand in their papers, leave, and most would not return to their seats, wasting their time to breathe fresh air.
……
"Qin Nuanyang, who are you waiting for?"
At this moment, Qin Nuanyang, having submitted her exam paper and left immediately, could only wait for someone under a tree in the square in front of the teaching building.
Then, one of the boys asked a question.
Qin Nuanyang was very familiar with Zhao Rui in her class, mainly because this guy would chat with her after school and always ask her some rather private questions, showing a complete lack of boundaries.
For example, you could ask her if she's ever had a boyfriend, what kind of guys she likes, or if a certain holiday is coming up soon and you could suggest a gift...
Even more extreme examples include things like which city we're going to study in, and how we can arrange to go together then.
The note incident a while ago drove Zhao Rui crazy. He privately said that he had no choice but to agree to Li Chao's request because he liked him.
Qin Nuanyang would definitely not admit it. If she did, she was afraid Zhao Rui would report her and cause trouble for Li Chao. So she honestly explained that she had lost a game with her girlfriends.
Then, Zhao Rui took advantage of the situation and said that if he lost next time, he could write him a note.
Actually, Zhao Rui is decent-looking and has good grades. He was similar to Li Chao before, both being strong contenders for the top five in science.
Qin Nuanyang simply didn't notice these things.
Upon seeing Li Chao come downstairs, Qin Nuanyang immediately said, "I'm leaving now without waiting for anyone, bye!"
She turned and left.
As Zhao Rui watched Qin Nuanyang leave, he stared at Li Chao for a while as Li Chao passed by.
As they walked, he noticed that Qin Nuanyang deliberately slowed her pace, waiting for Li Chao to catch up with her, and then...
"She even said she didn't like him..."
"If you don't like me, don't lie to me..."
……
Li Chao quickly followed Qin Nuanyang to her home.
The lunch today was very plentiful because Liu Min had plenty of time.
There was stewed soup, stir-fried dishes, and even some cold dishes because of the hot weather.
Li Chao often spends the Spring Festival at Qin Nuanyang's house. He really likes Liu Min's cooking. The reason he goes home every year is to taste a familiar meal. Otherwise, he has a big house and a nanny outside, so there is no need for him to come back to his hometown, a small county town.
After dinner, a plate of watermelon was brought to the coffee table. Qin Zhiguo sat down next to Li Chao and said, "I went to inquire about the apartment you liked yesterday this morning. The apartment is pretty good, and the rent isn't too expensive. The only downside is that it's a bit far. I haven't decided yet, so I was wondering if you wanted to choose an apartment closer to home to avoid the hassle of traveling back and forth."
Upon hearing this, Li Chao immediately said, "Uncle Qin, I'm not in a hurry to rent a house right now. Let's wait a few months."
"What's the rush? Just rent it. A few months' rent won't make a difference. Having a nice place to live is more important than anything else. The apartment you chose is great, but I'm worried about the commute. You already get up early enough every day, and now it's so far away, adding half an hour to your commute. Plus, you'll need even more sleep to recover from that exhaustion. I'm worried you won't be able to handle it. So I looked at two other apartments closer by, and I wanted to ask for your opinion..."
"Uncle Qin, really, there's no need."
Li Chao refused a second time.
However, in Qin Zhiguo's view, his refusal this time was simply a demonstration of his commitment to his own choice.
Perhaps Li Chao simply wanted the house he had chosen.
So he stopped arguing and said, "Okay then, I'll go sign the contract with them for that house you like right away."
Li Chao felt that Qin Zhiguo understood him too well, which was indeed not a good thing.
Anyway, given his personality from his previous life, once he says what he wants to do, it basically means there's no way to change it. It's precisely this personality that allows him to focus on many things.
For example, the level of focus on studying in high school versus the level of focus on making money in college.
In an instant, an idea popped into Li Chao's mind.
Being far away isn't always a bad thing; you can use it as an excuse to change your current situation.
After all, senior year of high school isn't just about exams on Saturdays and Sundays; evening study sessions are also the main arena for exams, basically every day is spent doing and grading papers...
If it weren't for the fact that the mock exam had just ended a few days ago, the teachers would have been eager to revive those traditional rituals long ago.
"Uncle Qin, as you said, the distance is too far, and I accidentally overslept and it affected my morning reading."
"It's far away, but it's comfortable to live in, and the neighborhood is very quiet. We can find a way to solve the distance problem... I'll talk to your homeroom teacher and ask you to skip morning reading and study at home instead."
"Evening study sessions are out of the question. I'll walk such a long way back, and I'll be so excited that I won't be able to sleep for a long time. Oh well..."
Qin Zhiguo frowned. Evening self-study was indeed difficult to manage because it was a very important time for studying.
However, he really couldn't stand Li Chao saying things like "let it go, let it go."
It's like I'm completely useless as the director of the academic affairs office.
"Okay, I'll also have a good talk with your homeroom teacher about the evening self-study session. After you have dinner here, you can go straight back to your dorm. For a top student like you, morning reading and evening self-study are not very useful. It's better to calm down and think things through in a quiet environment."
Just then, Qin Nuanyang couldn't help but ask, "Dad, could you also say something for me? Evening self-study doesn't help me much, and I need a quiet environment to think things through."
