Although I sympathize with Rong Yu's current situation, there's really nothing Shi Jing can do to help. Rong Yu has already done very well.
After the two finished their meal, Rong Yu took the person to the hotel. He had a tutoring class in the afternoon, so he had to go back and pack his things before leaving.
After booking the room in the morning, Lin Mengmeng sent a message to Shi Jing, which included the room number and the person who booked the room. Shi Jing only needed to go to the front desk to verify his identity and pick up the room card.
After receiving the room key, she waved goodbye to Rong Yu.
With nothing to do, she lay in bed scrolling through the news. The system couldn't help but tease her, "After talking with Rong Yu for so long, do you have any thoughts?"
"Feelings?" Shi Jing's eyes darted around, and after thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "Feelings are that I'm really lucky."
The system sighed, "Don't you have any plans for your own future?"
There really wasn't one, but after being asked by the system, Shi Jing felt a little guilty. As a lonely, homebody, Shi Jing's goal was naturally to eat, drink, and laze around. However, that was in her previous life when she had no relatives or friends. Now that she had the Little God of Wealth in this life, she felt that this goal was a bit ungrateful.
Having been reborn for so long and cooperating with the system ever since, Shi Jing is very clear that this life is completely different from the previous one. With the system around, she can live a better life.
"Well... as a student, I should focus on my studies and strive for improvement every day..." Even if Shi Jing wanted to set a lofty goal for herself, she couldn't think of one right now.
The God of Wealth System was not disappointed. Its purpose was to ensure Shi Jing's happiness, but ultimately, the choice of what kind of life she should live was up to Shi Jing herself.
Shi Jing lay back down and continued scrolling through his phone. Suddenly, a news article caught his eye.
[The well-known company "Linqi E-commerce Co., Ltd." is suspected of being petitioned for bankruptcy liquidation due to poor management. It is reported that...]
Shi Jing sat bolt upright in bed, scrolling through the news in surprise. Lin Qi? Isn't that Qi Shuang's company? How could news of its bankruptcy suddenly break out? She hadn't noticed anything like it from Qi Shuang's expression before.
She thought for a moment, then instead of calling Qi Shuang directly, she dialed Qi Yan's number first. The two were childhood friends, and their families often interacted, so perhaps Qi Yan would know something.
"Hello, Shi Jing." A slightly anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Qi Yan, I just saw the news online. What happened? Is Qi Shuang alright?"
“I just found out about it myself. My elders at home didn’t tell us because they were afraid we would worry. I can’t get in touch with Xiaoshuang right now, and I’m about to go to her house to find her.”
"Okay. Call me if anything happens."
Qi Yan comforted her, "Didn't you go to Dingdu today? Don't worry. I'll go with Xiaoshuang. Everything will be fine."
Shi Jing said helplessly, "I can't relax if I'm worried. We can still have fun later. We can travel in the future."
Qi Shuang was one of her few friends. When Shi Jing was ignored by the whole class, it was Qi Shuang who was the first to show her friendliness, which gradually improved her situation. Now that her family is having problems, how can Shi Jing still have peace of mind to play?
"Don't worry. Let me go to Xiaoshuang's house to find out what's going on. Maybe it's not that serious," Qi Yan said. Although she said that, Qi Yan wasn't so optimistic. Judging from her parents' grave expressions, this matter was probably quite serious.
"Okay. Be sure to let me know if anything happens. I'll be waiting for your news."
Originally, she planned to spend the Lunar New Year in Dingdu, but Rongyu's schedule was uncertain, and things also changed for her.
About an hour later, Qi Yan called back. Shi Jing answered immediately without delay.
On the other end of the phone, Qi Yan's voice was soft, suggesting she was calling secretly.
Qi Yan didn't say much on the phone, only briefly mentioning that the matter was quite serious and Qi Shuang wasn't in good condition, and that she planned to stay by Qi Shuang's side for the time being.
Listening to the words on the phone, Shi Jing basically understood that Qi Shuang's family company's bankruptcy was probably a foregone conclusion.
Although she didn't know what had happened, she knew that Qi Shuang needed the company of family and friends more than ever after such a major event. She should go back and see if there was anything she could do.
She exchanged a few words with Qi Yan and then hung up the phone. The plan had suddenly changed, and she needed to inform Rong Yu and Lin Mengmeng as well.
Thinking this, Shi Jing first sent Rong Yu a message, briefly explaining what had happened and her plans to return home early the next morning.
Rongyu was probably already tutoring and didn't reply to the message immediately.
Shi Jing then called Lin Mengmeng again, explaining that all subsequent plans were canceled; she felt she had to let her know.
Lin Mengmeng is a nice person, especially after Shi Jing said that the fees already paid did not need to be refunded, Lin Mengmeng also offered to arrange a car to take her to the station the next day.
Thinking that it would be much more convenient for her to have a car to take her, Shi Jing did not refuse.
About an hour later, Rong Yu replied to her message.
He first comforted her and told her not to worry too much, and then offered to take her to the station the next morning.
Shi Jing then told him that Lin Mengmeng would take him to the station the next day, and Rong Yu did not insist, but only asked when she would be leaving.
The next morning, Shi Jing's phone rang. By then, Shi Jing had already packed up and was waiting for the car that Lin Mengmeng had arranged to arrive.
She initially thought it was Lin Mengmeng's car that had arrived, but upon closer inspection, she realized it was Rong Yu calling.
Shi Jing answered the phone, and Rong Yu said he was in the hotel lobby downstairs. Shi Jing hurried downstairs and saw Rong Yu standing tall and elegant in the lobby, carrying a backpack.
"Brother Yu, what brings you here?" Shi Jing jogged over in a few steps.
"I came to see you off," Rong Yu replied, lifting the schoolbag in his hand. Shi Jing felt that this action looked familiar, and then heard Rong Yu continue, "I prepared some books, all of which you will need for your high school entrance exam, so I brought them over for you."
"......"
