After talking about Secretary Chen, Dong Sisi glanced at Li Mingxi and asked again.
"Xiao Xi, what brought you all this way here today?"
Li Mingxi glanced at his good friend and spoke directly without hiding anything.
"A few days ago, my brother came home and told me that there's news that the college entrance exam will be resumed soon. I was afraid you didn't know about it yet, so I thought of coming here to tell you so that you wouldn't be completely unprepared when the time comes.
When Dong Sisi first heard that the college entrance examination would be resumed, she was surprised.
Although she hasn't reviewed the textbooks yet, the resumption of the college entrance examination is such a happy thing, how could she not have hope?
So she double-checked several times.
"Really? Are you telling the truth? How come I don't know? There seems to be no news from the county yet."
Dong Sisi thought carefully about the news in recent days, and she hadn't heard anyone mention the college entrance examination!
After looking at Dong Sisi, Li Mingxi spoke truthfully.
"Actually, I'm not sure either way. This is just gossip. It may or may not be true, but looking at the current situation, I think it won't be long before the Gaokao is reinstated!"
Dong Sisi still didn't quite believe it, but even so.
She still felt that it was unlikely. After all, the college entrance examination had not been resumed for many years, and now there was news that it would be resumed out of the blue.
It seems like a lie no matter how you look at it!
As soon as Li Mingxi saw Dong Sisi's expression, he knew that she didn't believe it.
So she spoke directly.
"What I said is true, don't disbelieve it!"
After a pause, she continued.
"Anyway, no matter what, you just need to prepare well now. You have to know that although the news hasn't come out yet, you have to know that some of the educated youth in our team have asked for leave from work so that they can have more time to study!"
Hearing Li Mingxi say this, Dong Sisi opened her mouth in shock, somewhat unable to believe it.
"Really? They're not going to work now? But the news hasn't been confirmed yet, and they're not going to work. Aren't they afraid that they'll have no rations to eat when the time comes? And your captain is really something. What will happen if these people don't work and the food they're given isn't enough and they go hungry?"
"It shouldn't be. This news seems to be true to me!"
Seeing that Li Mingxi didn't seem to be joking, Dong Sisi felt a little panicked when thinking about herself.
She kept asking, "What should I do? I'm not ready yet. Will I fail any exams?"
"My grades were already poor, and now so many people know about this. With so many people competing with me, will I be unable to pass any exams?"
Li Mingxi knew that Dong Sisi would be insecure, so when he heard her say that, he immediately took her arm and spoke with a firm look in his eyes.
"No, besides, how do you know it's impossible? You've been studying for so long, how can you be worse than those people who haven't touched a textbook in years? It's impossible. You have to have confidence in yourself!"
Dong Sisi looked embarrassed and still a little scared.
"But!"
Li Mingxi immediately shut her up, "No buts! All you need to know is to work hard. No matter what the result is, as long as you work hard, there will definitely be a good result!"
Seeing that Dong Sisi was still a little unconfident, Li Mingxi spoke directly.
"Sisi, you have to understand that you've worked so hard for so long. Compared to those people, you're already very good, so you don't have to worry about not passing the exam!"
Dong Sisi seemed to be persuaded by Li Mingxi and spoke slowly.
"Okay then, I'll listen to you!"
Seeing that his good friend finally regained some confidence, and thinking that he still had to go find Brother Damao and the others, Li Mingxi didn't stay here any longer!
After telling the news to Brother Damao and the others, Li Mingxi rode his bike to go home. As a result, he ran into Gu Tingchen on the way.
However, this time there were two other people accompanying Gu Tingchen, one of whom looked older, and the other was younger and looked very much like him.
When Li Mingxi saw Gu Tingchen, he wanted to go up and say hello to him, but before he even got close, he was glared at.
The person who was glaring at her was none other than Gu Tingchen. Li Mingxi felt a little strange when he suddenly looked at her like that, and she couldn't understand what was going on!
I was just walking peacefully. What did I do to offend him? Didn't I just want to go up and say hello? Is he really that unwelcome?
Forget it, since the other person doesn’t want me to say hello to him, why should I make myself suffer?
Thinking of this, Li Mingxi simply quickened his pace and pushed forward with force.
After the people walked away, the old man sitting on the back of the bicycle spoke.
"Xiaochen, that girl just now looked like she knew you. I saw her greet you, why didn't you pay attention to her?"
Hearing this, Gu Tingchen raised his eyebrows but did not say anything.
However, Gu Jianying, who was standing by, saw Gu Tingchen's serious expression and quickly called out to her father.
"Okay, Dad, Xiaochen has his reasons for wanting to do something, so just leave him alone. Besides, you don't understand things between young people, so why ask so many questions?"
"But that girl just now clearly had no ill intentions, so why are you ignoring her? This isn't good, I'm telling you!"
"When I was young, I was never like you. Tell me, with your attitude, can you do business in the future?"
When Gu Jianying heard the old man was about to give another long speech about his great achievements in the past, he quickly interrupted him.
"Alright, old man, it's been so many years since you were young. What's the point of bringing it up now? Besides, times have changed. Your old ways are no longer suitable for today's society!"
Looking at Gu Tingchen's expression and seeing that he was not dissatisfied at all, he continued to speak.
"Besides, you've been nagging all the way. It's okay if you do this at home, but now you're still doing this in front of Xiaochen. Aren't you afraid that the child will find it annoying?"
When the old man heard his son's words, he glared at him fiercely.
"Xiaochen didn't say anything, but you're the one who talks too much. What's wrong? Are you tired of me? Fine, after you drop me off here, go back by yourself. I'm not going back. I'll live here from now on!"
When Gu Jianying heard what the old man said, he quickly started to persuade him.
"Dad, you're really wronging me. When did I ever dislike you? Besides, isn't living here a burden to Xiaochen?"
Gu Changshan glared at his son. "What do you mean by adding to the burden? What? You just put me here and leave me alone? I'm telling you, from now on, if you earn five, you have to give Xiaochen four!"
Having said this, he looked into the distance, as if he was lost in deep thought.
