Chapter 206 207 The Bai Clan! Return to North City (Second Update)
As they were talking, Xu En, who was sitting on the side, looked down at his phone.
The phone was on the WeChat screen, and he asked Bai Di several questions, asking about her college entrance examination and when she would come to Jiangjing.
But she never replied.
Listening to what Xu Wenyao and Xu Zhiyue said, he clicked on Bai Di's avatar frame, and then sent another sentence -
Xu En: [Even Zhiyue and the others said that this college entrance examination was difficult. Don't take it to heart if you pass it. People from the affiliated middle school didn't do well in the exam.] Xu En
: [#@! %...]
He sent a long string of comforting words.
"Nothing serious happened in our school," Xu Zhiyue put down her pencil case. She spoke slowly and quietly, "Students in our class are all discussing this matter. Many people didn't do well in the exam."
"That's strange." Xu Wenyao narrowed his eyes slightly, "Then why are the questions so difficult this year?"
The questions were difficult, and the college entrance examination team must have invited experts to study them, so -
why did the expert team spend so much time thinking about it?
When Mrs. Xu first heard Xu Zhiyue say that the questions were difficult, her heart skipped a beat.
Later, when she heard her say that other people found it difficult, the old lady was relieved, "Don't worry about whether the questions are difficult or not, Zhiyue just needs to perform normally."
Perform normally, at least in the top three.

Xiangcheng, hot pot restaurant.
When Bai Zhu saw Xu En's message, Lu Xiaohan next to him was ordering food.
Ning Xiao and Tang Ming were discussing the last math problem with her just now, so she didn't have time to check her phone.
Now she checked it, and there were a bunch of messages on her phone. She read Xu En's text messages from top to bottom.
Bai Xi: [Difficult?]
Bai Xi: [.]
Bai Xi: [Going to Jiangjing in July]
She replied to Xu En one sentence at a time.
"Sister Xi, don't keep looking at your phone," Wen Qi sat opposite Bai Xi and threw a bottle of wine to Bai Xi, "Let's drink."
Bai Xi held the phone with one hand, and without looking up, she took the beer directly and accurately.
Wen Qi always brought mineral water to Bai Xi, Lu Xiaohan, Ning Xiao and others during breaks, and they became very familiar with each other.
Next to Ning Xiao, Tang Ming, a non-staff member, saw this scene for the first time and murmured, "How cool."
Lu Lingxi booked two private rooms. Most of the class had grown up. After the college entrance examination, she ordered wine for the class. "Don't drink too much. Safety is the most important thing."
She said, her eyes fell on Bai Shi.
Seeing that he was passing the wine to Bai Shi, Lu Lingxi opened her mouth to stop him, but saw Bai Shi took the wine and unhurriedly opened the pull ring with one hand.
Bai Shi put down her phone, put her wrist on the table, leaned lazily against the back of the chair, and tapped her slender legs slightly.
She was wearing a long dress of a Chinese lady, but at this time, she was holding a beer with her legs crossed and took a sip slowly.
The pretty eyes and eyebrows look well-behaved, as if she walked out of a scroll of ink painting. She is elegant and mysterious, yet a little bit ruffian, making her hard to grasp.
Every move she makes is graceful and charming.
The lights in the box were turned on, and the crystal light was dazzling. Lu Lingxi looked at this scene in a trance. She
always felt that this was the Baishen she knew, but not the Baishen she knew.
"Mom Lu?" Noticing the gaze, Baishen tilted her head slightly and curled her lower lip lazily, "Mom Lu, what's wrong?" "
Nothing," Lu Lingxi smiled and shook her head. After the college entrance examination, she shouldn't put pressure on students, but she still couldn't help asking, "How did you do in Chinese?"
After Lu Lingxi finished speaking, she stared at Baishen's expression.
Bai Xi shook her beer glass lightly, "It's OK."
She was as lazy as ever. Lu Lingxi didn't see anything in her eyes, so he didn't ask any more questions, "Everyone have fun, and everything else will be discussed after the college entrance examination results come out."
**
The 9th, Dragon Boat Festival.
Bai Xi and Ji Shaojun and others had lunch at Ji Heng's place. After lunch, Ji Shaojun had to rush to North City. His flight was in the evening.
The person who came to pick up Ji Shaojun to North City was Xiaojie.
Seeing Bai Xi also sitting in the car, Xiaojie recognized her, paused for a moment, and asked softly, "Mr. Ji, is Miss Bai going to Jiangjing too?"
The air tickets were arranged by the housekeeper.
Only three tickets were bought, for Ji Shaojun, Shen Qing and Xiaojie.
"No," Ji Shaojun was sitting in the passenger seat. He took out a cigarette, his eyes still looking at Qingshui Street, and casually said, "She's going to Beicheng with us."
Going to Beicheng?
Xiaojie breathed a sigh of relief. If Bai Xi went to Jiangjing with them at this time, he didn't know how to arrange it.
But Beicheng...
He started the car and glanced at the rearview mirror. He didn't know why Bai Xi was going to Beicheng.
In the back seat, Bai Xi just opened the violin case, took out the guzheng from it, and plucked it twice, and the guzheng made a "clang clang" sound.
Jian Zhe and Qiu Xuezhen took several teachers from the Xiangcheng Book Association and formal teachers to Beicheng before the college entrance examination. She had to go a little later because of the college entrance examination.
Jiang He stayed at Ji Heng's place in Xiangcheng, and Jiang Fuli was delayed because of accompanying the graduate school entrance examination, and is still in the graduate school.
The highway from Xiangcheng to Beicheng has been rebuilt. Xiaojie drove on the highway and chatted with Ji Shaojun, "When was this road built? It's much easier to drive than before." It
's only been four months, but this time when he came to Xiangcheng, he clearly felt that Xiangcheng has changed.
The road has been widened, shopping malls and real estate projects have emerged, and the flow of people is not inferior to that of second-tier cities.
"The policy is good." Ji Shaojun looked at Qingshui Street getting farther and farther away, he retracted his gaze, and his voice was very deep.
Xiaojie didn't say anything else.
This section of the highway goes directly to Beicheng. In less than seven hours, Xiaojie's car arrived in Beicheng, "Miss Bai, where are you going?"
Bai Di gave an address, which was the name of a hotel.
Xiaojie drove over.
Beicheng Jiahao Hotel.
The car stopped and Bai Di's cell phone rang.
Bai Ti looked down and saw that it was Dean Jian. She packed up her piano while answering the phone.
"Have you arrived in North City?" Dean Jian was well-informed.
"Yes." Bai Ti got out of the car with the piano case, her voice lazy.
Dean Jian said "um", "You have also finished the college entrance examination. Remember that you owe Yan Lu a composition. I will take a flight tomorrow."
"I have some ideas. I will tell you in detail when you get there." Bai Ti had just finished the college entrance examination and was full of inspiration.
She was talking to Dean Jian. In the back, Xiao Jie opened the trunk, took out Bai Ti's small box and handed it to her. Bai Ti's box was a bit heavy, so he had to lift it with both hands.
"Thank you." Bai Ti reached out to take it.
Shen Qing said goodbye to Bai Ti reluctantly. After getting in the car, he lowered the window to look at Bai Ti standing at the door of the hotel.
Xiao Jie saw that Bai Xi had also disappeared in the rearview mirror, so he became curious, "Is Miss Bai writing songs for someone?"
He heard Bai Xi say she was composing.
"I don't know," Shen Qing didn't know, "but Mr. Jian said she is very spiritual."
Mr. Jian?
Who is this again?
Xiao Jie has never heard of them.
**
Jiahao Hotel, a national chain of five-star hotels, is also the hotel booked by the Xiangcheng Book Association this time. It is very close to the headquarters of the Beicheng Book Association.
Bai Xi was holding the piano in one hand, and the hotel waiter helped her push the suitcase and took her to the room.
The two were waiting for the elevator.
The nearest elevator went down from the second floor. The second floor of the hotel is a restaurant and banquet hall. The college entrance examination was just over yesterday, and many classes chose to gather here.
In the elevator, there were two men and one woman.
"Young Master Song is not coming," the boy shrugged. He is the monitor of the International Class of Beicheng No. 1 Middle School. "You also know that except Bai Shaoqi, no one in our class can invite him. Shaoqi can't come today because of something."
Next to him, the boy with a crew cut touched his head, "I heard that Young Master Song didn't do well in the math test this time."
"No matter how badly the academic master does, he is still the first," the girl said casually while playing with her mobile phone. "And that perverted question, the class teacher said it was difficult, who can do well?"
The three of them were talking, and the elevator door opened with a "ding".
The moment it opened, the eyes seemed to light up.
A girl in a plain long skirt was standing outside the elevator door. Her hair was half tied behind her head, and she was holding a long box casually in her hand.
The other hand was playing with her mobile phone, as if she was texting someone.
Seeing that there was someone inside, the girl stepped aside, and as she moved, the strands of hair on both sides fell down.
The three students in the elevator were stunned when they saw her. The girl in the middle said in disbelief, "Bai Shi?"
Hearing her name, Bai Shi looked up. She looked at the girl with narrowed eyes and remembered that the girl in front of her was Xu Yi, the study committee member of Class 2, Grade 3 of Beicheng High School.
Class 2, Grade 3 of Beicheng High School is a liberal arts class, and it was also the class where Bai Shi's former classmate had stayed for two years.
Bai Shi glanced at them, said nothing, and just turned sideways and walked around them into the elevator.
After the elevator door closed.
The two boys next to Xu Yi finally reacted. They were both in the international class and had only been with Bai Shi for one day, but because Bai Shi always went to the international class to find Song Min, they were very familiar with Bai Shi.
Kong Yifan, the monitor of the international class, came back to his senses, "Was that Bai Shi just now? I feel like she has changed a lot..."
"I heard that she was not in Xiangcheng? Why is she back?" The short-haired boy sneered when he heard that it was Bai Shi, "I don't know if she can pass the exam to Beicheng."
"Fortunately, she left our class, otherwise our class's 100% undergraduate rate would be dragged down by her."
"..."
**
The news that Bai Shi came to Beicheng spread in the group of Class 2 and the International Class.
Bai's family.
Bai Shaoqi just finished the college entrance examination yesterday, and the patriarch of the Bai clan came in advance to discuss the opening of the clan temple with Bai Qiming.
If Bai Shaoqi was the only one admitted to Jiangjing University, the clan might not make such a big fuss, but it is really rare to have two heroes in one family. The Bai clan leader also thinks highly of Bai Shaoqi.
The Bai family originated from scholars, and they have always valued those who have achieved fame or made contributions to the country. Bai Qiming is a businessman, so there was no response in the Bai family.
It was also after Bai Shaoke that the talents of the clan valued Bai Qiming's lineage.
Today, the clan leader came over, and Bai Qiming also set up a banquet.
He also specially invited Song Min and Song's parents.
At the dinner table, the clan leader discussed Bai Shaoqi and Bai Shaoke with Bai Qiming, "Dean Jian, is it the old gentleman from the Jian family?"
Hearing Bai Qiming talking about Dean Jian, the Bai clan leader was surprised.
The Jian family also has a long history in Beicheng, and is a real scholarly family. He has some friendship with the Bai clan leader. He knows that Jian Zhongyou is an important inheritor of national culture, and is also the director of the Jiangjing Cultural Bureau and the dean of the Jiangjing Conservatory of Music.
Represents the national cultural heritage.
In the past, he was at least a prince, a general or a minister, and could enjoy the imperial temple.
It's a pity that the Jian family has not been able to invite him back until now.
If such a person appeared in the Bai family, the Bai clan leader would worship him.
"Yes," Bai Qiming looked at Bai Shaoqi beside him, "Shaoqi not only has good academic performance, but also has made great achievements in guzheng. Shao Ke said that Dean Jian might come to North City recently. I want Shaoqi to work harder and seize the opportunity."
The Bai clan leader looked at Bai Shaoqi with more and more surprise, "You really have to work hard."
"These two children are good, Mr. Song, your Song family is going to have a top scholar." The Bai clan leader looked at Song Min beside Bai Shaoqi again.
Song's father smiled and raised his glass to the clan leader, "Not necessarily, the child said he didn't do well in math."
"The math was difficult this time, no one could do well," Bai Shaoqi looked at Song Min and comforted him, "My brother said it was difficult."
Bai Shaoke was at Jiangjing University, and he was the top scorer last year, so his comments were very authoritative.
At this moment, Song Min, who was looking at his phone, suddenly froze for a moment, and the spoon in his hand hit the bowl, making a loud noise.
The people at the dinner table looked at him, and Mrs. Song lowered her voice, "What's wrong?"
Song Min raised his head and said in a trance, "Bai Shi went back to Beicheng."
He was the only one present who knew that Bai Xi could do mathematical modeling with He Wen. How did she do in the math test this time?
Shaoqi's smile froze slightly.
When Bai Xi was mentioned, Bai Qiming frowned.
The clan leader didn't know that Bai Qiming and his uncle had arbitrarily removed Bai Xi from the list for the sake of Bai Shaoqi and his sister. When
the Bai clan leader heard the word "Bai", he was puzzled: "Who is Bai Xi? Is she from our Bai family?"
Butler Bai added wine to the clan leader and explained: "She is the eldest daughter born by the previous wife. The master sent her to the international class before..." Bai
Qiming's face was not very good when he heard this again. Butler
Bai's words were vague.
The Bai clan leader understood that Bai Xi was sent to the liberal arts class by the head teacher of the international class because she was too bad at science.
See you tomorrow, my darlings~
