Chapter 138: Only Saving Your Number
Wang Shuzhu gave Yang Tianxing the green light at the Chang'an District University Town, intending both to help and to observe; if Yang Tianxing truly made a name for himself and his influence expanded, then they would see what the head office's attitude toward such behavior was.
Yang Tianxing was in a very good mood; the university market in Chang'an District could not be considered particularly large, but for himself in the first semester of his sophomore year, it was already enough.
Returning to school at around 10 in the morning, the entrepreneurship base still looked the same as usual.
Liu Jiaoyue was burying her head in making records, Fu Yiming and the others were collecting express deliveries, part-time students were coming in and out from time to time, and some classmates were specifically reading and chatting in 101 to enjoy the coolness of the air conditioning.
Yang Tianxing walked to his seat, sat down, and asked Liu Jiaoyue with a grin: "How is business lately?"
Liu Jiaoyue handed over the ledger, and Yang Tianxing flipped through it and had a grasp of the situation in his heart.
The scale of the entrepreneurship base was not large, but the capital flow involved was relatively complex; there were their own profits, the docking with Zhang Liye, and the commissions for the part-time students.
Although Liu Jiaoyue was not a professional accountant, she excelled in being meticulous, and she would never lie to Yang Tianxing.
"Do you want to eat some fruit?"
Liu Jiaoyue took out an apple she had just bought yesterday and asked in a low voice.
Yang Tianxing looked and saw it was an apple; he curled his lips but still nodded.
"I really can't figure out why there is a fruit like an apple that has absolutely no fruit tension."
Yang Tianxing muttered.
After peeling it, Liu Jiaoyue handed the apple over, and Yang Tianxing considered his next development plan while eating.
At this moment, He Yulin suddenly walked over and said: "There are some things in the class, let's discuss them."
"Mm, go ahead."
Yang Tianxing didn't even lift his eyelids.
"It's too noisy here, let's go outside to talk," He Yulin said.
Yang Tianxing put down the ledger and came to the small garden outside 101; the morning sun was very scorching, and Yang Tianxing was a bit impatient: "What kind of thing are you making so mysterious?"
He Yulin glanced at 101 and said: "Last night, Jiaoyue waited for you until 11 o'clock before returning to the dormitory."
Yang Tianxing slept at Wang Shuzhu's house last night, but she used to go out all night too; Liu Jiaoyue usually closed up and returned to the dormitory at 9 o'clock, so he didn't know why she waited for him last night.
"Maybe she had something to tell you."
He Yulin suggested: "Next time if you aren't returning to 101, you might as well notify her; she is stubborn, and sometimes she will just keep waiting."
Yang Tianxing nodded silently.
"Another thing."
He Yulin continued: "Yesterday, a freshman junior came to look for Jiaoyue."
"A freshman junior?"
Yang Tianxing immediately thought of Zheng Xuan, frowned, and asked: "What does she look like?"
He Yulin described her facial features roughly, and they basically matched; Yang Tianxing thought for a moment and asked: "What did they say?"
"Not sure."
He Yulin shook her head: "But this is already the second time she has come here; in short, I am just reminding you, don't let a girl like Liu Jiaoyue be sad again."
He Yulin added the word "again," and it was very obvious that she counted the time with Xiao Zhiliao as well.
"Alright, thank you."
Yang Tianxing thanked her first, and He Yulin went back after finishing her reminder.
Yang Tianxing stood outside to smoke a cigarette, then walked silently in front of Fu Yiming: "I didn't return to the dormitory last night; have you told anyone else?"
Fu Yiming felt it was very strange: "You not returning to the dormitory to sleep, isn't that normal operation? Who would treat that as news and talk about it everywhere."
Yang Tianxing thought that was true, and instructed Fu Yiming again: "If I don't return to the dormitory in the future, just say I went to an internet cafe if anyone asks."
He was a student cadre in the Youth League Committee Inspection Center, so whether it was the dormitory auntie or the college student union checking rooms, the name "Yang Tianxing" would never appear on the notice for not returning at night.
Fu Yiming nodded and went back to work.
Yang Tianxing unified the story first; although he and Wang Shuzhu had nothing, they were in the same room together after all, and even ate breakfast together, so it was better to say he stayed up all night at an internet cafe, which was simpler and easier.
At noon, the part-time students went to eat one after another, and only Yang Tianxing and Liu Jiaoyue were left in the room; he walked over and explained: "Last night I went to an internet cafe with my roommates; you waited for me so late, was there something?"
Liu Jiaoyue didn't expect Yang Tianxing to actually know; she stood up in a fluster and softly said "Mm."
Yang Tianxing looked at Liu Jiaoyue quietly, waiting for her to explain the situation, while also guessing in his heart what the content was.
Zheng Xuan's personality was very paranoid, which Yang Tianxing had already learned in his previous life; Yang Tianxing thought about adopting an appropriate method to talk to her.
It couldn't be too extreme, otherwise Zheng Xuan might very well come up with a "if I can't have it, no one else can" type of mutually destructive solution.
Perhaps because it touched on this kind of emotional topic, Liu Jiaoyue was a bit nervous; she clutched her hem and hesitated several times without speaking.
Yang Tianxing had plenty of patience today and gently pulled Liu Jiaoyue's small hand: "No rush, you take your time, I'll listen slowly."
There were still students walking back and forth outside, and Liu Jiaoyue was a bit embarrassed and wanted to pull back, but Yang Tianxing didn't let go.
He actually felt very guilty in his heart; yesterday there was a "love rival" at the door, and Liu Jiaoyue should have been at the time she needed him most, but he was at the Yanta University Town then.
At night, it was probably because Liu Jiaoyue really wanted to talk to him that she kept waiting under the lamp until 11 o'clock, but he was at Wang Shuzhu's house at that time.
Yang Tianxing stood up along with her, and Liu Jiaoyue raised her head with some unease, staring blankly as Yang Tianxing smoothed her hair neatly.
"No matter what happens, I'm here."
Yang Tianxing said gently.
Encouraged, Liu Jiaoyue then gathered the courage to say: "I, I want to buy a Little Smart, is that okay?"
Yang Tianxing was stunned for a moment; he originally thought Liu Jiaoyue would tell him what Zheng Xuan said in front of her, but he didn't expect Liu Jiaoyue wouldn't even mention it, just wanting to buy a communication tool.
"Sure."
Yang Tianxing asked: "Why do you want to buy a Little Smart?"
Liu Jiaoyue was silent for a while, then said in a low voice: "When you, when you aren't here, I want to hear your voice."
Hearing this answer, Yang Tianxing suddenly felt a tightness in his chest; for Liu Jiaoyue, perhaps his voice represented a sense of security, which was why she proposed the idea of wanting to buy a Little Smart.
"A Little Smart is no problem, is there anything else?"
Liu Jiaoyue shook her head gently: "There is nothing else."
"Really nothing else?"
Yang Tianxing pressed, for he actually also wanted to know what exactly Zheng Xuan had said.
Liu Jiaoyue continued to shake her head: "No, nothing else, let's go eat."
……………
Yang Tianxing bought the Personal Handy-phone System that afternoon and took care of the SIM card at the same time.
The price of the Personal Handy-phone System was actually not expensive, but for Liu Jiaoyue, it might have been a very rare object; she carefully opened the packaging box, took out the Personal Handy-phone System, then resealed the box as it was and put it into her small cloth bag.
Yang Tianxing instructed her on how to turn it on and some basic operations, then took out his mobile phone and said: "You should still remember my number, right? These are the contact details for a few other classmates in the class and some individual departments at school."
Liu Jiaoyue clumsily saved Yang Tianxing's number into the Personal Handy-phone System, then looked up and said: "For the others, can I choose not to save them?"
Yang Tianxing nodded: "Of course you can, but it would be more convenient to contact people if you saved them."
"I, I am too stupid."
Liu Jiaoyue said with a blushing face: "Only by saving your number can I find it right away."
