Chapter 1253: Asking for help?
At six o'clock sharp, a middle-aged woman walked into the classroom and looked at the students sitting below.
"Classmates, my surname is Wu, you can call me Teacher Wu. I will be your homeroom teacher for the next four years. You can come to me with any questions you may have! Now, please come up one by one and introduce yourselves!" Teacher Wu said.
"Hello everyone, my name is Li Zhao, and I come from Jichun in Northeast China!" A boy sitting by the window on the left was the first to be called up to introduce himself.
"Hello everyone, my name is Liu Yong, and I come from Lvteng City, Zhongjiang Province."
"My name is Chen Hai, and I am from Jingzhou City, Handong Province."
"My name is Hou Liangping, and I am also from Jingzhou City."
. . . . . . .
"My name is Zhao Weixin, and I'm from Beiping!"
"My name is Zhong Xiaoai, and I'm from Beiping."
. . . .
"My name is Gao Qisheng, and I'm from Jinghai City, Guangdong Province!"
After everyone had introduced themselves, Ms. Wu returned to the podium.
"We've all gotten to know each other today, and I hope that we can help each other in our studies and in life. You are all law majors, and after graduation, you will basically go to work in the procuratorate or the court. I hope that you can study your professional knowledge well in these four years, learn the principles of being a good person, and become a good judge or a good prosecutor in the future!" Teacher Wu said passionately.
"Alright, now I have an announcement. We'll be starting a month-long military training program next week. Before that, I'll temporarily appoint a class monitor to help relay some messages and notices. After the training ends and classes officially begin, we'll hold a new election for class officers! Chen Hai, you'll be the temporary class monitor for now. Now, gather a few male students and come with me to collect your textbooks!" Teacher Wu simply appointed Chen Hai as the temporary class monitor.
"Okay, Teacher Wu!" Chen Hai knew why he was chosen as the acting class monitor. Although he felt he wasn't good at it, there was nothing he could do. Now that Teacher Wu had spoken, he couldn't refuse, could he?
After the books were distributed, everyone went home, and their university life officially began. However, the month-long military training felt like torture for many.
"Wei Xin, a month of military training! Why is the military training at Handong University so long?" Zhong Xiaoai asked, pouting, as she followed them to the dormitory.
"Oh, it's alright. This university military training is just to set rules and get us back on track. It's very simple! These are all young people who have been running wild for two months after the college entrance exam. If we don't get back on track through military training, how can we manage them properly?" Wei Xin said with a smile.
"You can't dislike me if I get tanned!" Zhong Xiaoai said.
"Hehe, don't worry! I have some sunscreen that my older sister brought back for me from South Korea. I'll give it to you tomorrow. I heard it's really effective at protecting against the sun!" Wei Xin said with a smile.
"Really? Then why did you give it to me, big sister?" Zhong Xiaoai asked curiously.
"Are you stupid? You know what our family is like. This isn't for me, sister, it's for you!" Wei Xin said.
Zhong Xiaoai thought about it and realized that it made sense. Although the two had been dating before, Wei Xin didn't have time to play after school. He had to do his homework, and after finishing his homework, he had to receive military training from Uncle Zhao.
Moreover, they spend their Saturdays and Sundays in the military camp. What kind of training haven't they experienced? The Zhao family's children have all gone through this. Military training is nothing to them. They don't need sunscreen at all. This sunscreen was obviously specially given to them by Wei Xin by the eldest sister, Wei Hong.
Thinking of this, Zhong Xiaoai blushed slightly. Although she had been teased a lot when she visited the Zhao family before, she was still very touched that Wei Hong still thought of her even after going abroad.
In Binhai City, at Xu Banxia's storage yard, Chen Yuzhou was entertaining a group of creditors. Because the storage yard had borrowed money to buy scrap steel, and now that steel prices had plummeted, no one was optimistic that Xu Banxia would ever be able to turn things around. So, the group came to the storage yard to demand their money back. If they didn't have any, they would just eat, drink, and play mahjong and cards every day.
After Xu Banxia and Tong Xiaoqi returned from South Korea, Tong Xiaoqi continued driving for the convoy, while Xu Banxia went back to her house and started to hide. Chen Yuzhou was guarding the storage yard, so she didn't need to worry about him. However, Xu Banxia was waiting for Sister Zhao, whom she had met on the plane, to call her!
However, she has been back for almost a week now, and she doesn't know if Sister Zhao and the others have returned yet. It's very painful for her to be enduring this.
"Ring ring!" Just then, Xu Banxia's phone suddenly rang. She thought it was a call from her creditor and was about to pick up the phone to hang up when she suddenly realized that the caller was a landline number in Shanghai.
"Hello, is this Sister Zhao?" Xu Banxia asked anxiously.
"Xiao Xu, were you getting impatient? I just got back from South Korea the day before yesterday. I was arranging some things at work, and I called you as soon as I finished these last couple of days! You won't blame me, will you?" Wei Hong's voice came from the phone.
"How could that be, Sister Zhao! Am I that kind of person?" Xu Banxia quickly explained.
"Hehe, just kidding! When do you have time to come to Shanghai? I'll introduce you to some big bosses! Do you still need to borrow money?" Wei Hong asked curiously.
"Sister Zhao, I really need the loan. I'll go to Shanghai to find you tomorrow!" Xu Banxia said excitedly.
"Okay, call me when you arrive, and just follow my instructions!" Wei Hong said with a smile.
“Okay, Sister Zhao, I’ll call you as soon as I get to Shanghai!” Xu Banxia said.
"Big sister, are you really going to lend money to that Xu Banxia?" Wei Qing asked, sitting opposite Wei Hong, her face full of curiosity.
"What? Did Daisy tell you?" Wei Hong asked.
"How can I not say? You think so highly of this woman named Xu Banxia?" Wei Qing is very curious about Xu Banxia now. After Daisy came back, besides telling him about the shooting incident, she talked most about this little sister he met on the plane.
“Xu Banxia is indeed remarkable. She’s a woman who can travel alone to the chaotic Black Sea to import scrap steel. What do you think of a woman like that?” Wei Hong asked.
“I admit that such a woman is indeed very capable, but that’s no reason for you to help her like this, is it?” Wei Qing didn’t understand.
"Hehe, I had someone investigate Xu Banxia before I returned to China. Although she has some minor flaws, they don't outweigh her merits. She's someone worth helping out. Consider it an investment. I have high hopes for her future! Maybe one day she can become a great asset to our family. A few million isn't a huge investment, so why not?" Wei Hong said with a smile.
