At the end of the first semester of the third year of junior high school, Shi Jing ranked second in his class and fifth in the grade. At the end of the year, the system calculated a reward of 700,000 yuan.
This reward isn't small, but it's naturally much less than the millions of dollars we used to receive.
The system expressed its helplessness in this regard. It issued the task based on Shi Jing's recent goals, but now Shi Jing is diligently attending classes every day and really doesn't have any wishes or goals.
However, because Shi Jing had been practicing martial arts during the summer vacation, she was rewarded with 1.5 million yuan at the end of the year as part of the year-end settlement.
In less than a year since Shi Jing traveled to the present, Shi Jing has accumulated 11.2 million through various missions, but unfortunately, all of it is stored in a separate account and cannot be withdrawn.
Shi Jing heard the number but didn't take it to heart.
Ms. Yan is getting married and plans to go to her boyfriend's hometown for the Chinese New Year this year. Ms. Yan is hesitant about whether to bring Shi Jing along or send her to stay at Shi's house for a while, but Shi Jing has refused.
At Shi Hai's wedding banquet last time, she had already made things quite clear with the Shi family. She was not interested in the Shi family's business, and the best way for them to get along in the future was to not interfere with each other.
As for Ms. Yan's future husband's family, she had already made up her mind to move out after Ms. Yan got married, and naturally did not intend to have too much contact with the other party's family.
However, where to go for the New Year is a problem. Since she doesn't want to go to either place, she might as well go on a trip for the New Year.
Qi Shuang was secretly planning to take her parents to a hot spring resort, and Shi Jing was also thinking about her own itinerary.
As she thought about it, she remembered Rong Yu again. She hadn't contacted him for a long time because of final exams.
So she sent Rong Yu a message, asking where he would be spending the Chinese New Year.
Rong Yu was probably not busy at the moment, and quickly replied to her message: "I'll stay in Dingdu this year."
Shi Jing sent the other person an "OK" emoji. "Let's go to Dingdu for the New Year, and visit Rong Yu while we're there."
"Shi Jing, why don't you come with us for the New Year?" Qi Shuang said, noticing that Shi Jing was lost in thought, and nudged her with her elbow.
Shi Jing snapped out of her reverie, smiled, and shook her head in refusal: "No, I have plans."
"Alright." Seeing this, Qi Shuang didn't insist. "Then I'll send you travel photos later, and don't forget to send us some too!"
"Okay," Shi Jing agreed.
Since she had already planned to go to Dingdu, Shi Jing started making plans. The first thing she needed to do was find someone to travel with, since she was a minor and traveling alone would be inconvenient in many ways, with accommodation being the first problem.
Although she needed to find travel companions, she didn't have any suitable relatives, and her friends would be spending the Lunar New Year with their families, so she couldn't very well ask them to join her. After much thought, she decided to try a travel agency.
She found a well-known travel agency online, called to inquire, and finally booked a private female tour guide. The completely private trip was a bit pricey, but it would save her a lot of trouble.
After finalizing the plan, Shi Jing wanted to explain his arrangements to Ms. Yan, just as Ms. Yan returned from outside. It turned out that Ms. Yan had also set a time to depart on the 26th of the year. She hesitated and asked Shi Jing if he wanted to go with her, but Shi Jing refused without thinking.
Shi Jing didn't want to go to an unfamiliar place that she might never visit again.
Ms. Yan was somewhat worried about this: "Why don't you go stay with your father for the New Year? Your mother won't feel comfortable leaving you alone."
"No need, Mom, I've already made arrangements. I'll go to Dingdu for a trip during the Chinese New Year and come back afterward."
Ms. Yan was still somewhat worried, after all, Shi Jing was still a minor.
"You're not an adult yet, it's not safe for you to go out alone."
"Mom, don't worry, I've hired a local private guide through Changxing Travel Agency. She'll be with me." Shi Jing casually revealed her arrangements.
At this point, Ms. Yan, though still somewhat uneasy, did not stop her further: "Then send me the other party's contact information. Also, when you go out to play, be sure to make arrangements carefully, don't go to places with few people, and go home early to rest at night."
"good."
Shi Jing agreed to everything and forwarded the tour guide's business card and job information to Ms. Yan.
She still had to finish her winter break homework after the holiday started, so she couldn't leave immediately. However, the winter break homework was much less than the summer break homework, and she finished it all in just two or three days.
After finishing her homework, she packed her things for the trip and set off on the 25th of the lunar year.
The tour guide was from Dingdu, and Shi Jing arranged to meet her at the high-speed rail station.
After getting off the high-speed train, Shi Jing walked a short distance from the exit and saw a capable and slender woman with her hair neatly tied in a ponytail, wearing a light blue tracksuit. She was holding up a sign with three large, colorful characters that read: "Student Shi".
Shi Jing stepped forward and verified the other person's identity. After confirming the other person's identity, they successfully made contact.
The woman introduced herself as Lin Mengmeng, and Shi Jing could just call her Sister Meng.
Shi Jing already knew the other party's information, so he took the opportunity to change his form of address.
"Sister Meng, just call me Xiao Jing."
“Okay, Xiao Jing.” Lin Mengmeng replied as she led the way. “The car is parked in the garage. Follow me.”
The high-speed rail station exit was underground. The two followed the passage and quickly arrived at the underground parking garage. After finding a parking space and getting into the car, Shi Jing sat in the back while Lin Mengmeng drove.
"Xiao Jing, which way do you want to go? Or should I plan the route?"
"Let's go to Dingda first."
"Okay," Lin Mengmeng replied, starting the car.
Although Dingda is a university, it's also a semi-open tourist attraction during winter and summer vacations, attracting many students and parents from all over the country to admire the prestige of a top university. Therefore, Lin Mengmeng wasn't surprised at all that Shi Jing wanted to go there.
After the car started moving, Shi Jing ignored everything else and sent a message to Rong Yu.
"Brother Yu, are you at school?"
Rongyu replied quickly, sending her a question mark.
Shi Jing replied with a smiley face, and then sent another message: "Come and admire the splendor of a top-tier university."
