Protagonist:
Li Xiulan
Wang Xiaohua lacked experience, so that the words he spoke, while seemingly reasonable, were actually somewhat amateurish.
However, Wang Dashan also lacked experience, and moreover he trusted Wang Xiaohua quite a bit — after all, Wang Xiaohua was the cleverest of the three brothers, a top student at Tsinghua University.
So in the end he actually agreed with Wang Xiaohua's line of reasoning:
"What you say does have some merit. I've already handed over the management of Shanhai Real Estate's business to Liu Ming, and on the Wanjia Commodities side I'm also just a hands-off shopkeeper. Recently I've had nothing much to do — I've even started reading novels and playing games! So, working while taking care of the kid isn't impossible!"
Wang Xiaohua then said:
"Then you go take the initiative and tell Eldest Sister-in-law. Say that once the child is born, you'll raise it yourself — she won't have to. Once she's done with her postpartum confinement, she can devote herself entirely to work, and she won't have to breastfeed either — formula feeding the whole way is fine. As long as you show sincerity, Eldest Sister-in-law will definitely be moved and then make concessions."
Wang Dashan nodded:
"Third Brother, then I'll go back and say exactly that to Xiao Juan!"
Then he asked again:
"Do you want to go take a look at the new company Xiao Juan and I started? Xiao Juan, me, and another partner opened an e-commerce supply chain company; the office is right near Shanhai Real Estate, not far at all."
"Sure, let's go have a look then!"
Wang Dashan drove, carrying Wang Xiaohua, and arrived at Wanjia Commodities Supply Co., Ltd.
As it happened, Hu Wanjia had come over to handle some business, and Wang Dashan introduced his third brother to Hu Wanjia.
Upon learning that Wang Xiaohua was a Tsinghua University student, Hu Wanjia couldn't help but look at him with new eyes:
"I never expected your younger brother to actually be a top student from Tsinghua — my apologies, my apologies! If our Wanjia Commodities could recruit a top student like your brother to do management, it would definitely be like a tiger gaining wings! Just don't know whether your brother, after graduation, would look favorably on our little company!"
Wang Xiaohua hurriedly said modestly:
"General Manager Hu overpraises me. I'm just a bit better at studying; in terms of social experience, I'm far inferior to you, General Manager Hu. If there's a chance to work together in the future, I hope General Manager Hu will impart more experience to me."
Seeing Wang Xiaohua so modest, Hu Wanjia laughed heartily:
"If you come work at Wanjia Commodities, I'll absolutely pass on all my lifetime business experience to you without reservation!"
Wang Xiaohua hurriedly said:
"Then I'll thank General Manager Hu in advance. I've only just finished my freshman year; when school starts in September I'll be a sophomore. Even if I wait until undergraduate graduation, that's still three years from now. When the time comes, if there's an opportunity, I'll definitely come to Wanjia Commodities to learn!"
Hu Wanjia liked Wang Xiaohua more and more as he looked at him.
A Tsinghua seedling, and not the type who just buries himself in books — so articulate, such high EQ — who wouldn't like him?
He genuinely wanted Wang Xiaohua to come work at Wanjia Commodities after graduation.
Only he himself was also clear: Wanjia Commodities' temple was too small; Wang Xiaohua might not necessarily look favorably on it.
But he still planned to go back and say a word to Wang Dashan, to see if he could persuade Wang Dashan to convince Wang Xiaohua to spare some time to come intern here in the second half of his junior year.
When dinnertime arrived, Hu Wanjia still wanted to keep Wang Xiaohua to eat together.
Wang Xiaohua declined politely.
Because he had already agreed with Li Jianjia that tonight he would go to University Town to find her.
So after leaving Wanjia Commodities Supply Co., Ltd., Wang Xiaohua immediately took the subway toward Panyu University Town.
Exiting the subway at University Town North Station, he discovered Li Jianjia had long since ridden a bicycle over and was waiting for him at the subway entrance.
"Hello, handsome guy, want a ride?"
Li Jianjia waved to Wang Xiaohua.
Wang Xiaohua hurriedly jogged over:
"Jianjia, sorry to keep you waiting."
"Cut the chatter, hurry up and get on, we're setting off!"
"How about I ride instead? Having you carry me feels awkward."
"What's awkward about it? Hurry up and get on, hold my waist. Come on, where do you want to go?"
Wang Xiaohua sat on the back seat of the bicycle, holding onto Li Jianjia, feeling a warmth in his heart.
"I want to go, go into your heart..."
Wang Xiaohua's face reddened slightly.
During this period he had read quite a few books about dating, and knew many dating techniques.
But knowing and doing are the farthest distance in the world.
He wasn't the kind of man who knows how to create romance, so saying this kind of sweet talk required enormous courage for him.
Li Jianjia couldn't help laughing:
"Yo, handsome guy, haven't seen you for a few months and you've gotten so good at sweet-talking."
Wang Xiaohua's face was full of embarrassment:
"Don't tease me, you're making me all embarrassed."
Li Jianjia said with a laugh:
"Alright, no more joking. Have you eaten dinner yet?"
"No, I just went to my eldest brother's new company. His partner General Manager Hu invited me to stay for dinner, but I declined, because I had to come see you."
Li Jianjia then said:
"Then let's go to the canteen now and eat the eight-yuan-a-meal rice and dishes! You'd better not dislike it for not being tasty — my school's food definitely can't compare to your Tsinghua University's!"
Wang Xiaohua hurriedly said:
"How could I possibly dislike it? As long as I can eat with you, even plain rice would be fragrant, because, cough cough..."
Wang Xiaohua again felt too embarrassed to continue speaking.
"Because of what?"
"Because you're pleasing to the eye."
Li Jianjia was amused into laughter again.
"How come I never discovered before that you could talk like this?"
The two chatted and laughed; Li Jianjia rode the bicycle, Wang Xiaohua sat in the back, and all the way they returned slowly to the school.
The scenery of the University Town is very beautiful.
Everywhere is full of vigor and vitality.
Coming and going, almost all are university students in the prime of youth.
Everyone's faces wear smiles, wearing confidence.
Wang Xiaohua and Li Jianjia's faces also wear smiles.
The two ate a meal in the canteen, then went together to Li Jianjia's rented house.
Li Jianjia had already moved out of the dormitory and lived there for a good while.
She now even has little contact with her three roommates Lin Yuan, Lan Xiaomeng, and Liang Lina.
She heard that not long ago Lin Yuan took a leave of absence; as for the reason, she also didn't go to care or ask.
She now wholeheartedly only lives her own life well, putting all her energy into study; she has already begun preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination.
Wang Xiaohua arrived at Li Jianjia's rented single room small house.
Just one room, one toilet, not even a place to cook, very narrow.
In the room besides the bed, there is also a small desk, a small stool; besides that, there are no other furniture items.
Instead, various books, on the bed, on the floor, even under the bed, are piled full.
Those are all Li Jianjia's study materials.
"Jianjia, is it true you're going to test for Tsinghua University's graduate student?"
Wang Xiaohua saw Li Jianjia prepared so many study tool books, and in surprise asked this one sentence.
"That's for sure!"
Li Jianjia's answer was very determined and confident:
"In order to be closer to you in distance, I must redouble my efforts!"
Wang Xiaohua was deeply moved, somewhat heartache for Li Jianjia:
"Silly girl, actually you don't necessarily have to test for Tsinghua University's graduate student; testing for other Beijing universities' graduate students is also okay; that way our distance wouldn't be very far either."
Li Jianjia however said:
"The distance I speak of is not geographical distance, but spiritual distance."
