It was already 10:30 p.m. on my way back to school.
"Haha, Xiao Wu, that Manager Huang's expression just now was hilarious."
When he returned your bank card to you, he looked at you with curiosity and disbelief. Was he shocked by the money in your account?
Liao Jiajia giggled and said that she seemed not to notice that everyone was in a low mood, or perhaps she was just pretending to lighten the mood.
“Yes, who does he look down on?” At this moment, Deng Xinyin did not disagree with Liao Jiajia and agreed with her.
"Maybe!" Chen Xihua replied casually.
At first, she also wondered if the type of boss a company had determines the type of employees it had.
They look down on people!
So, Manager Huang also thought she had no money. He gave her the card to her to put on an act, but he was shocked by the 300,000 yuan in her card.
But it didn't quite seem like it. At that time, she also noticed that Manager Huang looked at her with a more puzzled and scrutinizing gaze.
As the manager of a high-end hotel like Fengting Club, he shouldn't be so superficial.
Chen Xihua felt that it was very likely that something else had happened.
However, she wasn't in the mood to think about it more deeply at the moment.
"...Xiao Wu, well, I don't have that much money right now, but I'll be graduating in a little over a year."
"When I start working, I'll pay you back slowly?" Dong Xue, feeling the most disappointed and upset, stammered as she spoke.
She lagged a few steps behind the group, feeling remorseful and blaming herself for not being able to drink without restraint just because she could.
If she hadn't been somewhat drunk and not in a good mental state while walking, she certainly wouldn't have been so easily pushed over.
"How about we chip in some money for Chen Xiaowu?" Xu Min suggested.
“Sure.” Apart from Chen Xihua and Dong Xue, Tian Tian, Deng Xinyin, and Liao Jiajia all nodded in agreement.
"No need to pay compensation. I promised to treat you, so consider this as me treating you to five bottles of expensive red wine."
However, since Sister Dong Xue feels really bad about it, why don't you all come with her and help me out?
As you know, I run a small business, selling clothes in a physical store.
This summer, our company plans to open a store in Beijing.
There will be an event when we open; can a few of you be my models for a day?
"You all know that hiring models costs a lot of money." Chen Xihua said with a relaxed expression and a hint of a joke.
She could tell that Sister Dong Xue must be feeling very bad, so she didn't want to stop them from trying to make amends.
Otherwise, Sister Dong Xue would remain uneasy, keep this matter to herself, and even feel indebted to her.
"Really? Then I can even help you sell clothes at your store!" Dong Xue's eyes lit up, and she was no longer so self-blaming and sullen.
"Okay, I'll definitely dress up nicely." Liao Jiajia was already getting excited and looking forward to it.
"It's the Liu family..." Deng Xinyin's main concern was actually the Liu family.
Will those young masters and ladies cause trouble for them, especially for Chen Xiaowu?
When Deng Xinyin mentioned the Liu family, their expressions became serious and earnest again.
"Don't worry, the Liu family shouldn't cause you any trouble."
Although there's a small chance they'll cause me trouble, it's alright, I can handle it." Chen Xihua had considered the consequences when she first made her move.
Jiang Sisi is only a cousin of the Liu family, so the Liu family probably won't directly confront them or make things difficult for the girls.
After all, members of the three major families in Beijing were present at the time.
Moreover, she wasn't without any trump cards.
If it were the young masters and ladies of the Liu family, or her cousins, causing her trouble in private, then it would be fine.
As long as it's a tactic used by the younger generation or young people, and doesn't escalate to the level of the entire family, Chen Xihua still has ways to deal with it.
But I still need to talk to Old Man Qin about this.
The next day, Sunday, Chen Xihua returned to the courtyard house early, where Old Man Qin was already waiting in the study.
"Six months later, the Beijing Calligraphy Association held a calligraphy exchange event."
During this time, there will also be competitions for young people, and you need to sign up.
"During this time, especially on weekends, you should practice calligraphy diligently." Old Man Qin made the decision without giving Chen Xihua a chance to object.
"Teacher, I will listen to you. However, I may not have time to practice calligraphy for more than half a month this summer vacation."
"I need to go back to the Southern Province. Also, I need to bring Chen Xiaoliu to Beijing and spend about ten days with him." Chen Xihua immediately informed Old Man Qin.
Otherwise, he would definitely make her go into seclusion and practice calligraphy all day long whenever she had a holiday.
She had heard that the calligraphy event six months later would be a relatively large and formal calligraphy and painting exchange meeting.
It's not just people from Beijing; calligraphy enthusiasts and even some well-known masters from other provinces come here.
Since it was proposed by Master Beichang, Old Man Qin must have known about it, which is why he attached such importance to it.
Moreover, Ye Jichang from Nan Province will likely also appear with Zhou Qingfeng.
Old Qin said calmly, "I don't care, just don't embarrass me!"
"Hehe, I'll try my best. No... I'll definitely try my best!" Chen Xihua noticed that Old Man Qin's expression was about to change, so she quickly changed her words.
"Sister Huizhu will also be coming to Beijing, right? That's perfect, she'll be working at the Beijing branch during this period."
Old Qin said disdainfully, "If she doesn't come, are you going to paint a traditional Chinese painting for her?"
"Teacher, you seem to dislike me more and more!" Chen Xihua thought to herself. This old man is difficult to deal with.
Ever since she brought him to Beijing ahead of time, Old Man Qin has found fault with her in every way.
After arriving in Beijing, Old Man Qin never went outside and stayed in his courtyard house.
Chen Xihua guessed that he was hiding from someone, and not just Master Chang, but probably also the Qin family.
"By the way, teacher, I think I've offended someone. Could you help me analyze the situation..."
After a few minutes, Chen Xihua briefly recounted what had happened at the Fengting Club last night.
She also briefly mentioned the background, including how she met Huo Kai.
After hearing this, Old Qin habitually pushed up his glasses and sighed, "Hmm, these young people nowadays..."
You too, I knew it from the old man, Chen Xiaowu, you're not someone to be trifled with, you actually kicked someone directly.
"Hmph, seems easy to talk to, but actually can't stand the slightest bit of anger."
"Teacher, was it my fault?" Chen Xihua pretended to be unhappy, rolled her eyes, and pouted slightly.
"No, you've always been very good at showing courtesy and consideration. Keep up that spirit."
What happened last night was definitely not your fault.
I understand. If anyone causes you trouble, then let me know. Old Qin was still very protective of his own.
He knew that Chen Xiaowu wouldn't deliberately cause trouble.
"Thank you, teacher!" Chen Xihua immediately became a little obsequious and began to practice calligraphy seriously.
——
For the next two weeks, Chen Xihua waited for others to make a move, but nothing came of it.
She was a little confused, since she and the others in her dormitory hadn't encountered any trouble.
She even wondered if the Liu and Jiang families were planning something big.
But another two weeks passed, and the other party remained calm.
Chen Xihua even asked Old Man Qin if it was because of him, but Old Man Qin said that he hadn't done anything yet!
That's a bit strange.
