Although the two girls couldn't understand Shi Jing's lofty goals, they still expressed their respect and support.
The two dragged Shi Jing onto the bed and scratched her repeatedly. Shi Jing was relieved that the teacup didn't leak, otherwise she probably wouldn't be able to sleep in this bed tonight.
After the three of them joked around for a while, they were so tired that they lay down on the bed. Only then did Qi Yan have a chance to ask, "You're going to the No. 1 High School in the city, so you're not planning to go abroad directly?"
Go abroad? Shi Jing thought about it for a moment, and realized that the original owner of this body had indeed had such a thought.
She was a poor student back then and didn't have much hope for the national college entrance examination. She only wanted her family to help her apply to a foreign school in high school so she could get a degree.
Shi Jing certainly doesn't have such thoughts now. If there are rewards for the middle school entrance exam, there must be rewards for the college entrance exam too, right?
"Hehe, you're really clever." Noticing Shi Jing's thoughts, the Little God of Wealth System gave a compliment that wasn't entirely sincere.
"Thank you for the compliment." Shi Jing accepted the praise without any embarrassment. Then she answered Qi Yan, "Well, I plan to try taking the college entrance exam myself. Actually, universities in China are quite good too."
"That's true. And with your grades improving so quickly, you might be able to get into a really good university."
Shi Jing thought so too. But since the middle school entrance exam hadn't even started yet, and the college entrance exam was still a long way off, Shi Jing didn't dwell on it.
"What about you? Do you have any plans?" Shi Jing asked. She asked this mainly to hear Qi Shuang's thoughts.
Things happened so suddenly these past two days that Qi Shuang hadn't really thought much about it. But now that Shi Jing had brought it up, she naturally had some ideas. Now that her family was bankrupt, it wasn't even certain whether she could continue studying at Tianyuan Private School in her third year of junior high, so why be surprised by Shi Jing's plan?
She thought about it and couldn't help but sigh, "If my family's situation is really bad, I might have to transfer schools next semester."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yan couldn't help but show worry in her eyes; she had clearly thought of it as well.
Shi Jing remembered what she had overheard at the stairwell earlier, but she didn't want to say it directly, so she comforted her, "Don't worry, transferring schools suddenly in the third year of junior high can easily affect your studies. Your aunt and uncle will definitely make arrangements."
Qi Shuang sighed, feeling pessimistic.
The Qi family's situation was already set in stone. Even if Mr. Qi and Mrs. Lin wanted to turn the tide, they were powerless to do anything. Two days later, the Qi family declared bankruptcy. What followed was the liquidation of the bankruptcy proceedings. The Qi family company had nearly 100 million yuan in assets and debts, and many of the Qi family's properties and businesses were inventoried one by one.
Shi Jing and the others didn't understand any of these things. The only thing they knew was that the Qi family's villa and many other properties and belongings were listed for sale, but because time was tight, the asking prices weren't high.
Before the Lunar New Year, the Qi family moved into a two-bedroom apartment. After the move, the only remaining aunt in the Qi family was also dismissed.
Qi Shuang started learning to do housework. Although she had never done it before and was always flustered, she was happy to be able to help out.
The new house wasn't far from the Shi family's, and Qi Shuang would occasionally go over to visit Shi Jing.
After talking with her parents, Qi Shuang learned that they planned for her to take the high school entrance exam in a public school. Therefore, she also set her sights on the No. 1 High School in the city, just like Shi Jing.
Qi Yan, the only one of the three whose plans hadn't gone off track, was very envious. However, her parents had already planned out her future. Unlike their high expectations for her brother, Qi Yan's parents only hoped that she could live a carefree life.
Overall, the year was not as bad as Shi Jing had initially feared.
Although Qi Shuang's family has faced significant changes, it's clear that her parents are still managing. After talking with them, Qi Shuang understands that while there are still debts, they aren't unbearable for them. Given her parents' qualifications and ability to find new jobs to support the family, coupled with the support of the Qi family, she believes that paying off all the debts is only a matter of time.
Although Qi Shuang was down for a while at first, she knew there wasn't much she could do. After setting her sights on getting into the No. 1 High School in the city, she started studying with Shi Jing and has now become very motivated.
Although Rong Yu was asked by her manager to attend several events at the end of the year while she was in the capital, just as Rong Yu had guessed, Meng Ge didn't target her excessively because of the prestige of her university. In any case, as long as Rong Yu can finish her university studies peacefully, it's a good thing.
On New Year's Eve, Ms. Yan, who was far away in her boyfriend's hometown, called Shi Jing. After exchanging pleasantries, Ms. Yan inquired about her recent life and learned that she had changed her travel plans and was spending the New Year alone at home. She then transferred 10,000 yuan to her as a New Year's gift, telling her to buy more food, clothes, and other necessities.
That afternoon, Shi Hai also took the time to send her a New Year's gift of 50,000 yuan.
Since Shi Jing's grades improved, she has received more and more living expenses, which are all deposited directly into her bank account. She doesn't spend much, and in the past six months, she has saved nearly 300,000 yuan.
Since the original owner's parents were generous, Shi Jing was naturally not stingy either. He said that New Year's greetings were free and even stayed up late to send New Year's blessings to the two of them.
