Chapter 376
Liu Yue has left, causing a huge stir in Statistics Class 1.
Because in this day and age, being able to study abroad is a matter of pride, and many students at Fudan University are aiming for it. Her departure directly intensified the anxiety of those who want to go abroad.
Li Guang has kept statistics: out of the 47 people in Statistics Class 1, besides Liu Yue who has already left, there are currently 13 others preparing to go abroad.
With Liu Yue gone, the position of class monitor fell to Hu Ping. Don't look at how Old Hu keeps hitting walls with Wei Xiaozhu; among the girls in the class, damn, he is incredibly popular. 31 girls voted, and he was elected unanimously. This is a very rare phenomenon.
As for the boys, ha! That goes without saying; it was definitely a unanimous vote as well.
When they gathered in a corner of the corridor to smoke after class, Hu Ping said, "Old Li was beaten up."
Watching Li Guoyi didn't come to class this morning. Everyone thought this guy had gone to his uncle's place like in the past and would arrive late. They didn't expect Hu Ping to bring this news.
Li Heng asked, "Where is Old Li now? Is it serious?"
Hu Ping said, "He's hospitalized. His left arm was broken, and he's undergoing treatment."
Everyone in Dorm 325 was stunned. Zhou Zhangming didn't even care about smoking his cigarette anymore. "Who hit him? Why such a heavy hand?"
Hu Ping shook his head. "It's not clear yet. You all know Old Li's temper; he's quite arrogant. On the way back to school last night, he was ambushed from behind with a burlap sack. We still don't know who the culprit is."
Everyone looked at each other. If they don't even know who the culprit is, then they can't even take revenge. After discussing it, everyone decided to visit the hospital after the 8th period.
Once Liu Yue left, Li Xian immediately scurried over to sit with Li Heng.
Because of this, the classmates discussed it for quite a while, but Li Xian didn't seem to care at all. She said to Li Heng with a swagger, "Master, Sister Yue has gone abroad, and there's no one left in class who can make me afraid. I'll come sit with you. Are you happy?"
Li Heng looked toward the front of the classroom and said, "Be careful that the English teacher calls on you to answer a question."
"She won't. It's been almost a year, and the English teacher has never called on me." Just as Li Xian was chattering away, Yu Shuheng on the podium had already called her name.
"Li Xian, come and repeat in English the content I just said." Yu Shuheng looked at Li Xian with a smile as warm as a spring breeze.
Li Xian was dumbfounded. She didn't expect to be slapped in the face so quickly. She hadn't even finished speaking, and she was already struck by lightning!
She whispered for help, "Master, what did the teacher just say?"
Li Heng said, "I was thinking about something just now and didn't pay attention."
"Oh no, I'm done for! I'm done for!" Li Xian stood up reluctantly, standing there foolishly like a stone, saying nothing.
After waiting for a while and not getting a reply, Yu Shuheng glanced at Li Heng and then called another name: "Zhou Min."
Zhou Min is a good student in the class and answered fluently.
For the next few days, Li Xian was called on by the English teacher to answer questions every single time, which scared her straight. In the end, she had to pack up her books and run away. "Master, forgive me, I can't sit with you anymore. Being with you is too unlucky."
Li Heng: "..."
In the evening, the group from Dorm 325 joined the girls from 107 and went to the hospital together to visit Watching Li Guoyi.
At this time, Watching Li Guoyi's left hand had just finished surgery not long ago and was wrapped in bandages. Le Yao was accompanying him on the side.
Li Heng asked, "Old Li, how do you feel?"
"Brother Heng, don't worry, I won't die. Wait until I get out in a while and I'll go drink heavily with you guys." Although he was injured, Watching Li Guoyi was still quite cheerful, grinning and laughing at the group of girls.
Tang Dailing asked with loyalty, "You should know in your heart who you offended after coming to Shanghai. Did you guess who did it? Brothers will help you get revenge."
Watching Li Guoyi shook his head and cursed with spit flying, "Damn it! I love to show off, and I'm very popular with girls. I've offended so many people, who knows which bastard attacked me from behind?"
Le Yao couldn't listen anymore and directly slapped his arm. "Your left hand is already injured like this, can you be serious?"
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll listen to you!" Watching Li Guoyi raised his right hand, making a pledge.
The people from the two dorms gathered in front of the hospital bed and helped Watching Li Guoyi recall the people he had offended since coming to Fudan University. As a result, they didn't know until they checked; once they checked, they realized this kid was truly aggressive. In less than a year, he had clashed with 7 groups of people!
Zhou Zhangming asked, "Among these 7 groups, who is the most recent one?"
Watching Li Guoyi looked at Wei Xiaozhu and said with a laugh, "Beautiful Wei, you bought these apples beautifully. Hand one to me."
Everyone who came today bought gifts. Wei Xiaozhu bought apples and immediately said, "I'll peel one for you."
Hearing this, seeing Wei Xiaozhu really pick up a fruit knife and focus on peeling the apple, Li Heng, Li Guang, Zhang Bing, Tang Dailing, and Zhou Zhangming subconsciously looked at Le Yao, then at Hu Ping. They all stood on the side without saying a word, and the room was incredibly quiet for a moment.
Wei Xiaozhu's apple-peeling technique was very skillful. She finished it in no time and handed it to Watching Li Guoyi. "Rest well, we'll come to see you again when we have time."
"Alright, thank you, Beautiful Wei." Watching Li Guoyi took the apple, took a bite, and kept praising how delicious the apple was.
After chatting in the ward for about an hour, Watching Li Guoyi's uncle arrived later. The group said their goodbyes and left, returning to Fudan University before dark.
Of course, Le Yao didn't leave with them but stayed behind to accompany her boyfriend.
On the bus, everyone was chatting away, except for Hu Ping, who seemed very different. Usually talkative, he sat alone by the window at this time, looking outside with no intention of joining the conversation.
After getting off at the school gate, the hungry people from the two dorms headed aggressively toward Old Li's Restaurant. Wei Xiaozhu lagged a few steps behind and asked Li Heng, "Li Heng, next weekend I'm going back to Lianyungang with my aunt to celebrate my grandmother's birthday. When will your mother's photo arrive?"
Li Heng estimated the time. "It should arrive before you leave. How old is your grandmother this year?"
Wei Xiaozhu said, "80."
Li Heng said, "That's quite a long life. How is her health?"
Wei Xiaozhu said, "Very good. She still insists on doing her own laundry and cooking."
After chatting about daily life for a while, Li Heng glanced at Hu Ping, who was walking side by side with Sun Xiaoye in front. "Are you and Old Hu having conflicts again?"
"No, it's the same as always," Wei Xiaozhu said with a smile.
Seeing him hesitate to speak, she guessed and asked, "Are you trying to ask me why I peeled an apple for Watching Li Guoyi in the ward today?"
Li Heng waved his hand. "No, no. Isn't it the most normal thing for classmates to help peel an apple? What's there to be surprised about?"
Wei Xiaozhu scanned the surroundings and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Watching Li Guoyi was seriously injured this time. Besides the broken left hand, he also lost two teeth. I suspect it has something to do with me."
Li Heng looked at her in confusion.
Wei Xiaozhu explained, "A while ago in the city, Liu An was pestering me. Watching Li Guoyi couldn't stand it and clashed with him again. It was quite a big scene at the time."
So that was it. No wonder Wei Xiaozhu didn't care much about the gazes of the people from the two dorms.
Li Heng asked, "Was Le Yao there at the time?"
"Yes, Qingqing was there too. The three of us were shopping together. Watching Li Guoyi went to accompany Le Yao," Wei Xiaozhu said.
Li Heng asked, "So you suspect Liu An was the one who did it?"
Wei Xiaozhu hesitated for a moment and said, "There's no direct evidence."
Later, she added, "However, Liu An is a person who seeks revenge for the smallest grievance. Although that person has some petty cleverness, he doesn't use it on the right path."
Li Heng said, "I remember during winter break last year, you slapped him twice. He didn't dare to fight back then. Why is he still pestering you now?"
Wei Xiaozhu said calmly, "His father made another connection and got promoted."
Li Heng suddenly realized. Regarding matters within the system, he tactfully didn't ask further.
It was nothing more than Liu An's father's promotion giving that guy confidence, thinking he had made a big comeback, so he started the mode of pestering Wei Xiaozhu again.
He asked with concern, "Is it serious?"
Wei Xiaozhu smiled at him. "It's fine, Liu An doesn't dare to do anything to me."
Hearing this, Li Heng felt relieved and reminded her, "But you still need to be careful. As a girl, try to avoid being alone and don't go out by yourself."
Better safe than sorry. He had heard too many stories of people wanting to destroy what they couldn't have. It is very necessary to be vigilant against narrow-minded people.
Wei Xiaozhu thanked him. "Thank you, I've always been careful."
Li Heng said sincerely, "We are friends. If something happens, remember to find us, don't keep it in your heart."
Wei Xiaozhu said okay and then changed the subject. "In two days, I'm going to treat Mai Sui to a meal. You come with her."
"Sure, no problem."
Being able to get a free meal, Li Heng, the foodie, would of course not refuse.
At the same time, he felt some emotion. Mai Sui and Wei Xiaozhu really met too late and felt like old friends at first sight. Since the two girls became familiar through cycling, they often gathered to eat and chat. The progress of their friendship was rapid, comparable to friends of many years.
May 19th, Thursday.
Not long after the bell for the end of the fifth period rang, Zhou Min walked in from outside the classroom and said to Li Heng, "Li Heng, someone is looking for you outside."
Li Heng was chatting with the guys from Dorm 325 at the time. He looked up and asked, "Who?"
"A woman, very tall, I don't know her." Zhou Min looked at him with gossiping eyes.
Very tall?
Li Heng walked out of the classroom with doubts, only to meet Li Wang, a person completely beyond his expectations.
"Yo, why are you here?" Li Heng went to greet her quickly.
"Your class is really hard to find. I asked several people before I found it. But you seem to be very famous at Fudan University; every girl I asked knew your name," Li Wang said with a smile.
Li Heng smiled and said to Zhou Min, who followed him out, "Help me ask for leave, I won't attend the 6th period."
Zhou Min agreed.
Leaving the Management School teaching building, he asked, "Aren't you in Hong Kong? How did you come so fast?"
Li Wang said, "I came over as soon as I received your letter. I originally wanted to go to Shenzhen to investigate the market, but after reading the content of your letter, I came directly to you."
Li Heng said, "In the last letter, you said you wanted to create a sports brand like Nike and Adidas. Are you serious?"
Li Wang nodded. "I studied this kind of major in university, and I am very optimistic and interested in the sports brand market. I brought more than ten shoe design samples over. Let me take you to see them."
Arriving at the hostel where she was staying, Li Heng checked the 14 sample sports shoes she was very proud of. After a while, he asked, "Did you design all of them yourself?"
"Of course. Regarding sports brands, you spoke very clearly in the letter. What do you think of these? Will they be popular if pushed to the market?" Li Wang asked expectantly.
Li Heng didn't rush to answer but looked at each pair of shoes carefully again. Finally, he said, "The shoes are not bad, quite fashionable, but I can feel the shadow of some brands in them."
Li Wang didn't deny it. "Before designing these products, I specifically made a trip to the United States to investigate their high-end market."
After flipping through them carefully again, Li Heng asked, "Do you really want to start a company to do this?"
Li Wang nodded.
Li Heng said, "Tell me your thoughts."
Li Wang said, "My family doesn't agree with me. They hope I return to Hong Kong's real estate industry to develop. For this, my father and sister even helped me make connections with the Li family in Hong Kong to enter their company. But I refused. My dream is to found my own brand. If you can invest some money, I can start the company."
Li Heng asked, "Why find me? Why not find your uncle and sister?"
Li Wang was silent for a while and said, "My sister has only been working for a few years, doesn't have much savings, and most of it is invested. As for my father, if I could find him, I would have found him long ago. As for the reason, it doesn't matter if I tell you. There is a young master in Hong Kong who has taken a fancy to me. My parents are very satisfied with the other party and have verbally promised the other party's parents. But that person is one way on the surface and another behind the scenes, and has played with I don't know how many women in Singapore. If I can gain a firm foothold in the mainland, I don't plan to return to Hong Kong in the short term."
Regarding this matter, Li Heng had vaguely heard about it in his previous life. His uncle seemed to owe the young master's family a great favor and was determined to marry his youngest daughter to him, but these were all things for later.
Li Heng asked, "How much money do you have?"
Li Wang said, "During these years in university, I lived frugally and earned extra money, saving 100,000."
Li Heng asked, "RMB?"
Li Wang said, "In the mainland, naturally I'm talking about RMB."
Li Heng asked, "How much do you want me to invest?"
Li Wang held up three fingers. "I have calculated that the initial investment must not be less than 400,000. I need you to put up 300,000."
Li Heng didn't say anything after hearing this. He knew this little cousin was aiming for his money. He thought for a while and asked, "Such a big matter, is there any business plan or something like that?"
"Yes, I dared to come to you, so I was naturally fully prepared." Saying this, Li Wang opened her suitcase, solemnly took out a bag of documents from it, and handed it to him.
The documents were quite thick, with 20 pages. Li Heng had started a company with Yang Yingwen in his previous life and had rich experience, so he was naturally clear about the ins and outs.
After spending a long time reading it, Li Heng had a general idea in his heart. This girl wasn't just playing around. The plan clearly had a lot of effort put into it and looked quite professional.
He asked, "300,000, how much equity will you give me?"
This is the core issue. She would definitely not be willing to give too much, and he wouldn't do it if it were too little.
As a reborn person, he had I don't know how many ways to make money in his mind, and he didn't have much interest in small-scale operations.
