Chapter 66: Smiles Frozen in a Brilliant Time

~8 min read 1,502 words

Chen Leyan: "It's her! High ponytail, tall figure, a true White Moonlight."

"Leyan, did you know this beauty before?" Sun Ying asked.

Chen Leyan shook her head, pinched Xin Chanxi's cheek, and grinned: "The beauty in our class can only be, and must be, my wife, Xiao, Xin Chanxi."

"Stop it!"

"My dad took me to a wedding where I met this Pei Nanli. Her father is the Bureau Chief of the Mingzhou Health Bureau, her mother is a professor at Mingzhou University, and the most impressive is her grandfather, though he's retired."

As the words fell, Sun Ying thought to herself, comparing people makes people die of envy.

Xin Chanxi asked in a low voice: "What Teacher Zhang said, is she interning at Mingzhou First Hospital?"

Sun Ying nodded; she had just noticed that at Mingzhou First Hospital, there was a very handsome Doctor who had performed suturing on her, leaving a deep impression.

'Wang Chuan must know Pei Nanli, right?' Xin Chanxi thought of this, a hint of unhappiness appearing on her face, and she fell silent.

After a while, Teacher Zhang called the students from the previous year and this year to go downstairs for photos.

Walking to the first floor, Xin Chanxi hesitated repeatedly before stepping forward to greet Pei Nanli: "Senior Sister Pei Nanli, hello, my name is Xin Chanxi."

Standing together, Pei Nanli, who is one meter seventy, was five centimeters taller than Xin Chanxi.

Pei Nanli sized up Xin Chanxi; upon entering the classroom just now, she had noticed a girl with an outstanding appearance in the audience.

Someone had told her about Xin Chanxi's situation. She herself was only two years older than Xin Chanxi; like Wang Chuan, she skipped grades and was one of the most brilliant students of the previous year.

Xin Chanxi counts as one of the top students of this year.

A look of closeness flashed in her eyes as she said: "Hello, Junior Sister Xin Chanxi, which School are you planning to apply to?"

"I haven't thought it through yet; I need to discuss it with my family." Xin Chanxi gave the same answer as before.

Chen Leyan, standing nearby, jumped out to add: "Xin Chanxi has very good grades; besides Class Monitor Guo Qiancheng, she is second."

"If you like bustling excitement, you can apply to Shanghai; if you prefer being close to home, you can apply to Jiangcheng University. That's how I chose back then."

Chen Leyan asked: "Senior Sister Pei, will you be working as a Doctor at Mingzhou First Hospital after graduating next year?"

Pei Nanli nodded.

Xin Chanxi had not spoken just now, thinking to herself that since Senior Sister Pei and Wang Chuan attended the same University, they probably weren't close.

Otherwise, why would Wang Chuan call Wang Jia from Mingzhou Medical College and Luo De to sign up for driving lessons, but not invite Senior Sister Pei to sign up?

Could it be that Senior Sister Pei already knows how to drive, so she doesn't need to learn?

Xin Chanxi blinked: "By the way, Senior Sister Pei, did you drive here yourself today?"

"Me? I still don't know how to drive. However, after the College Entrance Exam, you can go learn to drive. The year I graduated, learning to drive wasn't popular yet."

"I just started learning a few days ago," Xin Chanxi replied.

Hearing Pei Nanli's words, the stone in her heart fell; Wang Chuan and this Senior Sister Pei, who couldn't drive, were not close at all.

"Xin Chanxi, what do you mean? You're learning to drive and didn't invite me?" Chen Leyan looked unhappy.

"You? These past two days, your Mobile Phone has been unreachable. If you want to learn, just go sign up yourself this Afternoon."

Pei Nanli was about to say, 'If you sign up this Afternoon, you can go with me.'

From a distance, Sun Ying shouted loudly at the three of them: "Hurry up, we're taking photos immediately. Don't delay Teacher Zhang's schedule."

After Teacher Zhang Shuying finished taking photos, she and her husband would go directly to take the train to begin a tour of the motherland's great rivers and mountains.

After so many years of repeating the cycle of teaching high school students, Grade 1 is full of longing, Grade 2 is filled with worry, and Grade 3 is a sense of relief.

Subsequent matters regarding score releases and filling out application forms would be handled by other teachers.

The final group photo.

Pei Nanli and Xin Chanxi stood together.

Their corners of the mouths turned up, smiling brightly, as if they could blow away the summer heat.

The two were frozen in a brilliant time.

Mingzhou Tang Corporation, Deputy General Manager's Office.

Tang Fei closed his Mobile Phone, squinting as he looked at his younger brother Tang Ao, who hung his head in dejection, and Cai Yueming, who sat silently drinking water beside him.

He didn't know why Tang Ao kept chasing Xin Chanxi; there are thousands of beauties, why hang oneself on a single tree? Could it be that this kid Cai Yueming instigated him?

A man with money can find any woman, regardless of beauty or ugliness. He is truly a waste.

I am eight years older than Tang Ao; after graduating high school, I was trained by Dad and gradually took over the Tang Corporation.

"Brother, have you found out? What is that person's background?"

"I asked a few friends; I heard he is a Doctor at Mingzhou First Hospital named Wang Chuan."

Cai Yueming said with feigned joy, "Brother Ao, he's just a Doctor; find someone to deal with him!"

Tang Fei raised his cold eyes and pointed a finger at Cai Yueming: "Shut up!"

Cai Yueming's heart skipped a beat, his legs went weak, and he sat back down on the sofa immediately.

Tang Fei continued: "This Doctor performed suturing on Xin Yisheng's wound. How well he and Xin Yisheng know each other is unclear. In any case, do not provoke him."

"Tang Ao, our Tang Family conducts legitimate business; do not provoke Xin Yisheng. As for Xin Chanxi, you must not provoke her either."

"Brother, Xin Chanxi's father also conducts legitimate business; isn't he still doing business with our family?"

After hearing this, Tang Ao disagreed with his older brother's advice.

"So what? Will the fact that Xin Yisheng is Xin Chanxi's third uncle change? Perhaps one day Xin Yisheng will get locked up, which will definitely implicate Xin Yuansheng. You are Xin Yuansheng's son-in-law; can you escape?"

"Wait until the day Xin Yisheng gets locked up, then you can take revenge on that Doctor. You must know that barefoot people fear nothing from those wearing shoes."

"Let's go!"

Tang Fei issued an order to leave, telling his younger brother and Cai Yueming to get out.

Tang Ao and Cai Yueming, unwilling, opened the door and were just about to leave.

"Get back here!"

Tang Fei threw out an invitation: "I have a business trip The Day After Tomorrow; you go attend this Nanshan Blue Fire Bar opening ceremony for me. You've grown up, you're not going to University, and you can't be idle all day."

"Nanshan Blue Fire Bar? Is that on Sanjiang Road Bar Street?"

A while back, when Tang Ao was frequenting Sanjiang Road, he saw a new bar under renovation; he heard it was a quiet bar.

Tang Fei nodded.

"Brother, it's a quiet bar. I'm not going. I like going to disco bars."

Tang Fei slapped Tang Ao on the right cheek. Crack!

"Did I tell you to go play?"

"The owner of this bar is a young woman. She has been running a bar in Jiangcheng for four years."

"The key point is her mother is a Hong Kong merchant. She has extensive connections in Hong Kong and sales channels in Europe; she has already introduced several export clients to our company."

"I begged them, and after great difficulty we secured a 3% stake, allowing us to establish some connection with them. If it weren't for the fact that Father and I are going to Europe to meet clients the day after tomorrow, how would it be your turn?"

Tang Ao rubbed his stinging right cheek and said resentfully, "Brother, what am I supposed to do there?"

"Go deliver a congratulatory flower basket for the opening, then observe how other bars operate and learn something."

After Tang Ao left, Tang Fei opened his mobile phone and dialed a number. "Lao Cui, come to Mingzhou; I need a favor. My brother got slapped~~yes~~just find someone to give him a slight lesson."

Tang Fei did not make this call in front of Tang Ao because he worried Tang Ao's mouth was loose, and with Cai Yueming present, it might reach Xin Yisheng's ears.

If Xin Yisheng intervened on behalf of that Doctor, it would cause trouble.

Lao Cui is not from Mingzhou anyway; after he finishes the job, he will leave Mingzhou.
