Chapter 47

July 7th arrived in the blink of an eye. The three-day college entrance examination was over, and the first and second year high school students were on vacation. Fu Le simply stayed home to review. She had already reviewed the content of the first semester of the third year of high school. She planned to finish the first year of high school, spend the entire summer vacation tutoring with top teachers from the No. 1 High School, shorten the study time, and skip the second year of high school to take the college entrance examination the following year.

Her life's goal is to attend a university of traditional Chinese medicine in the capital, to become a TCM doctor, for the good of her family and herself.

Mr. and Mrs. Fu were deeply concerned about their daughter's attitude towards studying. They tried their best to cook delicious meals for Fu Le every day. This became a burden for Mr. Fu, as Qi Hua had to run the shop. Mr. Fu, who had been a hands-off manager for decades, had finally learned to cook in his old age.

After the college entrance examination, the first and second year students returned to school immediately, and the final exams were in less than three days.

The school let us go on the last day of the final exams, and we were told to pick up our reports in three days.

"Lele, how did the exam go?" Fu Le rode his bike to Qi Hua's shop.

"Not bad, top three in the grade."

Qi Hua, who was cooking for Fu Le: ...

"Really?!" Last time he was only in the top ten of his class, and this time he's in the top three of the grade? Isn't this rise a bit too fast?

"We'll see." Fu Le picked up a piece of meat and suddenly saw a familiar figure, and paused for a moment.

"So confident? Fine, then Mom will wait and see."

"Mom, I'm going out for a bit. I saw my classmate."

"Go ahead, but don't take too long, the food will be ready soon."

"knew."

Fu Le grabbed the Qiqi Fruit juice he had just put in the freezer and ran out.

"Fang Ge, long time no see, what are you doing here?"

The boy in white, bathed in sunlight, spotted Fu Le jogging towards him from afar. He smiled, revealing dimples, looking clean and pure, like a painting, accompanied by a gentle breeze.

"Whose child is this? So handsome."

"Yeah, that face...tsk...aren't there any girls in our county who'd be a good match for him?"

"Judging from his clothes, he must come from a good family. Ordinary families can't raise someone with such an air."

...The surrounding chatter was something Fang Ge had gotten used to, until Fu Le appeared, at which point his indifferent eyes showed a different emotion.

"I came to find you. I just went to school, and your classmate said you're back. I came here to try my luck."

Fu Le laughed, "I finished my exam, grabbed my things, and left. I didn't stay long. Here, take this juice I made myself to cool you down."

"Thank you." Her fingers were long and slender with distinct knuckles.

Fu Le: I wonder who will benefit in the future.

"Why are you recruiting like a celebrity? Hurry up, the aunties around here are about to devour you whole." Fu Le noticed the strange looks from those around her, quickly grabbed Fang Ge's hand, and the two ran into the shop.

A blush crept up her fair earlobes, and Fang Ge stared at their clasped hands, smiling with pursed lips.

"Fu Le..." Qi Hua had just set the food on the table when she heard a commotion outside. In the blink of an eye, she saw her silly girl leading a fair-skinned and handsome boy in, and she was completely stunned.

Qi Hua: When you compare people, you get the one who gets thrown away. Old Fu is standing next to this young man, so he's the one who gets thrown away.

"Mom, this is my classmate. He was just passing by and hadn't eaten yet, so I brought him along."

"Hello, Auntie," Fang Ge greeted respectfully, taking a deep breath to calm himself down as he felt nervous.

"Okay, okay, classmate? Oh, okay, okay, let's eat, let's eat." Fu's mother hurriedly went to get the bowls and chopsticks, and Fu Le invited Fang Ge to sit down and then moved the fan over.

Throughout the meal, Qi Hua kept his eyes on the two children, occasionally lost in thought, while Fu Le would try to start a conversation to avoid making Fang Ge feel awkward.

"Mom, I'll see you off." After finishing her meal, Fang Ge sat for a while before leaving, and Fu Le got up as well.

It was already past 3 p.m., and there weren't many people buying meat, but the outside temperature was already close to 30 degrees Celsius, and it was very hot.

"Hey, there's another bottle, you can take it." Fu Le took out another bottle of Qiqi fruit juice from the refrigerator.

"Okay, thank you. Did you make it yourself?"

"Try it, see if it's good?" Fu Le smiled, his eyes crinkling, and handed over a straw, his gaze fixed on Fang Ge's face.

She knew Fang Ge was pretty in her past life, but aside from that awkward moment in the bathroom, she hardly ever saw Fang Ge again. Firstly, the first and third years of high school weren't on the same floor, and secondly, people were gossiping about her, so she was too busy avoiding her to even look at her.

It's so good to be able to live life again and see the amazing young man I once was.

Fang Ge took the straw, inserted it, took a sip, and her moisturized pale pink lips instantly became brighter.

"It's delicious." The boy's eyes crinkled with laughter, clearly showing his genuine enjoyment. "It's very refreshing."

Damn it! My health bar is empty!

"Fu Le, are you alright?" A deep voice lingered in his ear, and a fragrant tissue was pressed against his nose.

Fu Le: !!!

Damn it, she's getting a nosebleed!!

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just feeling a bit hot, I'm so hot. I'm going back now, it's too hot. You go back by yourself, I'm leaving..." Fu Le felt that she had lost all face in her life today, and she could never face anyone again.

The boy watched the girl disappear into the distance, a smile playing on his lips.

Fu Le stayed at the store all day until his mother got off work, and they went home together. As soon as they got home, the landline rang.

"Sis, I've finished my high school entrance exam. Didn't you say you'd take me out to play?" The boy's excited voice sounded a little off on the phone.

"I'll come find you in a week." A week later, it's time for the beautiful lady to pick up the goods. This time, she wants a large quantity, a thousand portions. Being able to ship such a quantity is enough to prove that the beautiful lady's situation is steadily improving.

...

Backstreet factory area, Fu Le's destination.

When Fu Le arrived at the factory gate, he found a small guard post with young guards standing guard inside. They looked very energetic, stood straight and upright, and looked like military sentries.

"Hello, please wait. This is a private factory, and unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter." Fu Le stopped at the gate as soon as he stood there.

They're quite responsible.

"I'm looking for Lu Shi, is he here?"

Xiao Zhou didn't expect that this unfamiliar girl would come looking for the boss right away, calling him by his name directly, but she didn't seem like a family member.

“This is Fu Le. Call him on the inside,” Fu Le explained.

The guard hesitated for a moment, but then nodded and returned to his post.

The intercom was quickly put down, and the young man looked at Fu Le with surprise. The latter smiled and said, "Wait a moment, President Lu will be here soon."

In less than a minute, Lu Shi appeared.

"Boss, why are you here at this hour? I was just about to go out to collect the goods. Luckily, I haven't left yet." Lu Shi greeted her with a smile. Ever since the factory started operating, every time she asked Fu Le to come over, it was like inviting a Bodhisattva. She just wouldn't come no matter what, as if coming would stick to something. Except for the first time when she bought this factory area, she came once. It's been three months since then, and she hasn't shown her face.

Xiao Zhou: !!! Boss?! !!!

"Xiao Zhou, this is our General Manager Fu, my boss. Remember him, and tell Xiao Liu and the others about it later, so they don't forget their own boss."

"Okay." Xiao Zhou scratched his head awkwardly, blushing as he apologized to Fu Le.

"It's okay, it's my first time here. He's very responsible, not bad." Fu Le smiled at Xiao Zhou.

Xiao Zhou awkwardly touched his nose and quickly went back into the pavilion.

"He's a good young man, just discharged from the army not long ago. Let's go, it's time to go in and see your territory," Lu Shi teased.
