God of Wealth
"You sit down first and pour yourself some water. There are drinks in the refrigerator. I'll go upstairs to change clothes." The first thing Chen Jin did when he got home was to find the remote control to turn on the air conditioner.
Ling Yun said that being a pilot has very strict dietary requirements, and she is now on vacation, so she can indulge herself a little. So they decided to try a newly opened hot pot restaurant, mainly because the taste was so tempting that they couldn't resist.
The weather is already hot, and eating such irritating food will make it even hotter.
Ling Yun took off his hat and coat, scratched his short hair, and smelled a strong smell of hot pot on himself. Seeing Chen Jin was about to go upstairs, he said, "Get me some clothes. I want to take a shower too."
"Oh, then go upstairs to wash."
Ling Yun followed Chen Jin all the way up, and when he saw her closet full of clothes, he kept clicking his tongue, "You're living a very comfortable life now that you've suddenly become rich."
"Otherwise, what's the point of getting rich overnight?" Chen Jin said with a smile, and found two sports dresses of the same style but different colors, and threw a blue one to Ling Yun, "Just wear it."
Ling Yun picked up the skirt and looked at it. She wore pants every day at school, and usually bought pants for convenience. She almost forgot what it felt like to wear a skirt.
Chen Jin went to look for spare, unworn underwear and threw it over. He originally wanted to find some underwear for her, but after looking at Ling Yun and then looking down at himself, he gave up. "Mine is two sizes bigger than yours. You can't wear it. I'll find you a small vest."
Ling Yun suddenly felt as if he was being mocked by Chen Jin.
Ling Yun was used to taking a quick shower at school. He would wipe his hair a few times and it would stop dripping. He would wash his clothes by hand, rub them dry and hang them on the balcony to dry. After calling Chen Jin a few times, he heard the sound of water in the master bedroom bathroom, then turned around and went downstairs.
Only then did I have time to look around at the layout of Chen Jin's home. Wherever I moved my eyes, I could see ornaments, dolls and flowers. I had never realized that Chen Jin was such a person with such a zest for life.
Her most profound impression of Chen Jin was when she passed by the next class in the first year of high school and heard Chen Jin scolding three people alone. The people were so angry that they jumped up and down. When others wanted to fight, Chen Jin said, "I am sick. I had a major surgery before. Why don't you try it?"
As a result, the second time I saw Chen Jin arguing with someone, the other party cursed so badly that Chen Jin rushed up to beat the person up. He didn't look like he was "sick" at all and fainted after the fight. She saw it clearly from the window, and when Chen Jin fainted, he still remembered to cushion himself.
She couldn't quite remember how she became closer to Chen Jin. Maybe it was because we often shared the podium together, I often heard the class teacher praise "Chen Jin from the next class", I often saw her running on the court when the sun was slightly bright, and then I sat on the steps of the court to recite lessons and wait for the canteen to open...
Or maybe it started with exchanging study notes with each other.
She felt that Chen Jin was more like someone who grew up in the compound than her companions there, and he looked full of energy when he was doing something seriously.
When I returned to Rong City, the first friend I thought of was Chen Jin. It was really not easy to contact Chen Jin. I went through a lot of trouble and even contacted Chen Jin's ex-girlfriend.
The doorbell outside the courtyard rang. Ling Yun shouted upstairs a few times, but there was no response from Chen Jin, so he got up and opened the door. She saw a good-looking man standing outside the courtyard gate with something in his hand, but why was he looking at her with shock?
Ling Yun nodded to him and said, "Chen Jin is taking a shower. Do you have something to do with her? How about you wait?"
Shen Baichuan took a long, deep breath and smiled, “It’s not a big deal. I stopped by Dongcheng District today to buy a cake and wanted to give one to Teacher Chen.”
Then he said, "I am her neighbor, living next door."
"Oh, then why don't you go home first? I'll talk to Chen Jin when she comes down."
"Okay, thank you for your help." Shen Baichuan went back to his home.
As soon as he entered the house, he lowered the air conditioner temperature by two degrees, doubting himself: So, why did he regard Chen Jin's female friend as a man?
When Ling Yun saw Chen Jin coming down, he said, "Your neighbor next door just came to see you and said he wanted to send you a cake. Who is it?"
"Oh, Mr. Shen, he is also a teacher in our school." Chen Jin whispered again: "God of Wealth."
"God of Wealth?" Ling Yun found it funny and asked her to elaborate.
"In short, he is the God of Wealth who can get big news. Well, the best neighbor in China." After Chen Jin said this, she asked Ling Yun to sit down first and she went to the next room.

"Teacher Shen, thank you!" Chen Jin weighed the two small cakes in his hand and said with a smile: "Next time I go out to buy some, I will bring you one too."
"You're welcome." Shen Baichuan held up a large umbrella to block the sun, glanced at the open door of her house, and asked casually, "The one who just came out to open the door was your friend? When you came back, she was wearing a military uniform?"
Chen Jin nodded and said, "Yes, she is a friend from high school. She returned to her alma mater today to give a recruitment speech."
"No wonder, Teacher Chen's friends are all excellent."
Chen Jin smiled even more happily, "Indeed, my friend is particularly outstanding."
Then he looked at the big umbrella above his head. It was hot outside and he would sweat again if he stayed any longer. Chen Jin said goodbye quickly: "Then I'll go home first. Thank you Teacher Shen for the treat. I'll treat you another day."
"You're welcome." Shen Baichuan still held the umbrella and was not prepared to move.
Chen Jin took a tentative step forward, then quickly evacuated. After returning home, he closed the door again to prevent the cold air from escaping.
On the other side of Chen Jin's house, Professor Song opened the door and looked out, and saw Shen Baichuan standing in front of Chen Jin's courtyard with an umbrella, like a sculpture.
Professor Song reminded: "Baichuan, are you looking for Xiaojin? Did you ring the doorbell and she didn't hear it? Why don't you give her a call? Oh yes, do you have her phone number? If not, come to my house and call..."
Shen Baichuan came back to his senses and hurriedly said that he had just finished talking to Chen Jin about something, and there was nothing else, so he should go back.
Professor Song smiled and shook his head. After returning to the house, he described to Dean Xi how Shen Baichuan stood blankly in front of Chen Jin's courtyard. Dean Xi also smiled and said, "Young people nowadays are more reserved than people of our generation."
"I think Xiao Jin never thought Bai Chuan would have that intention, and Xiao Jin has no intention of dating anyone right now."
"Don't get involved in young people's affairs. If someone points it out, Chen Jin will probably avoid Baichuan. It's better to let things develop naturally." Dean Xi said happily, "This kid has some plans in mind."
Professor Song disagreed, "I don't see how he can succeed."
But he had no idea whether it would be successful or not, Xiao Jin had no intention of dating at all now. It would be strange if you could come up with something interesting if you flirt with a blind man.

Ling Yun doesn’t like sweet food, so both cakes went to Chen Jin.
"Could your neighbor be trying to pursue you?" Or else would he send a cake specifically to Chen Jin?
Chen Jin looked up, sighed, and said, "You don't understand. The gap between him and me is not just the gap between a Santana and a dozen luxury cars. You know Cheng Group, right? It's owned by his grandfather. He even started his own company, which sounds very impressive. What do you think he would like about me? The most important thing for a person is to be happy. Don't worry about trivial things, or you will only cause trouble for yourself."
Ling Yun looked her up and down, and then gave a very sincere evaluation, "You are not bad at all."
Chen Jin stretched his arms and opened them, "The wealth gap is so huge."
He lowered his head and took two more bites of cake, then suddenly said with emotion: "Don't tell me, my impression of Mr. Shen seemed vague before, but now that I think about it carefully, I find that he is really good-looking."
When Ling Yun curled his lips and smiled, ready to say something, he heard Chen Jin say, "His skin looks good. I'll ask him for skin care tips someday. Let me tell you, I go to the beauty salon every month..."
After talking a lot, Chen Jin suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "Do you think my life is boring now?"
In fact, sometimes she herself is a little confused, and many people around her seem to know what they want to do. It seems that what she wants is to wait for the next round of land acquisition and demolition?
I am not very comfortable comparing myself with others.
"No, from what you said, you don't sound boring at all. A rich woman should act like a rich woman." Ling Yun leaned back on the sofa without any image, looked up at the hanging crystal chandelier, and said, "Hearing you talk so happily, I feel that the efforts of my comrades and I are worth it."
Thousands of miles below, lights are on in every home, and relatives and friends live and work in peace and contentment.
"I feel even more ashamed when you say that." Chen Jin scratched his face and said seriously, "So I decided to guide my students well and try to make them talents who can contribute to the construction of the motherland."
Ling Yun almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
"By the way, what are you thinking? You're actually dating Li Xingyi from your class?"
Chen Jin handed her a piece of watermelon and said, "Eat more and talk less. Don't dig too deep into my criminal record."
This time Ling Yun really couldn't help laughing and asked what was going on.
After understanding the situation, Ling Yun smiled and said, "As expected, a bad man can affect your fortune. Yes, it can also affect your career."
Chen Jin immediately picked up his cup and clinked it with hers, "I said, smart people all think this way."
Ling Yun stayed with Chen Jin for a long time and chatted with him for a long time. In the past, Chen Jin would automatically feel sleepy in the afternoon, but today he felt particularly energetic. She was really curious about how Ling Yun studied in the military academy and whether it was completely different from ordinary schools. An afternoon sunshower removed a lot of the stuffiness, until the clothes on the balcony were all dried and dried. As the remaining power of the scorching sun gradually dissipated, it was time for Lingyun to go home.
Ling Yun came on this vacation with a mission, and would have to leave in two days at most. As for where he was going, Ling Yun did not say, and Chen Jin did not dare to ask more, as she was not sure whether this was also kept confidential.
It was a rare opportunity for Ling Yun to spare half a day to contact her friend whom she had lost contact with for several years, and she still had to go home to be with her family.
When she returned, Ling Yun changed back into her clothes. Chen Jin wanted to drive her back to the compound.
Professor Song was about to go out with Aunt He to buy groceries when she saw Chen Jin being held by a young man in military uniform. She was curious and felt sorry for Shen Baichuan. But when Chen Jin saw her and greeted her, she realized that the person holding Chen Jin was a girl. She just couldn't tell the gender from the back and made a misunderstanding.
Chen Jin's friend was really energetic and lively. Professor Song liked her at first sight and said lovingly, "Next time you come to Xiao Jin's place, come over to my house and stay for a while."
When leaving, Ling Yun saluted Professor Song. Even after the car drove out of sight, Professor Song stood there watching and said with emotion, "Another generation of young people has come to take over."
~
Chen Jin's car can only drive to the gate of the General Hospital of the Armed Police Force. To drive in, one must undergo strict inspection. There is no need to drive in. Ling Yun said it would be more convenient to walk in.
"Let's go. I'll come back to chat with you next time." Ling Yun closed the car door and waved at her, motioning her to go first. He turned around and walked into the courtyard after the car drove away.
"Lingyun, who sent you back just now? You drove a nice car."
Ling Yun looked up and saw that it was Wei Zhenhua, a friend who grew up with him in the same compound. He did not follow the path of his predecessors and join the army, but instead went to work in a government department after graduating from university. I heard that he is now working in the China Merchants Group.
"My friend, what's wrong? Want to ask my friend for investment? Well, don't even think about it, she doesn't have much money."
"...I didn't say I was going to ask your friends for investment."
Ling Yun looked at him with a smile: Can you believe what you say?
Wei Zhenhua didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said: "What's our relationship? Your friend is my friend. You are not usually in Rong City... Hey! You run really fast! Okay, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it. Who in the whole compound can run faster than you now..."
~
Chen Jin felt that she might have been stimulated by Ling Yun. After returning to work, she was surprisingly motivated about her work. Several teachers in the office said that she was like a chicken with blood injected, and she was working in a hurry with several class teachers.
Starting from Wednesday, new students began to report. Chen Jin was thankful that the dormitories for freshmen were concentrated together, so he only had to go to the boys' and girls' buildings. If she encounters such a scattered group, she will be so exhausted that her legs will break, right?
Not only did the new students report to school, but students from other grades also returned to school. The open-air square in the dormitory area was filled with small stalls set up by former students. There were also students who brought the new students' study and living necessities to the dormitories to sell them.
When Chen Jin took the list to the girls' dormitory to find out more about the situation, he was stopped by someone who wanted to sell him excellent study materials of former seniors in the Chinese Department. Chen Jin was curious, so he took a copy of the materials, opened the first page, and saw the following words written in the lower right corner:
Chen Jin, Class of 1990, Department of Chinese Language and Literature
She almost laughed out loud. She didn't even know that the study materials she had compiled before could be sold. She hasn't given away her study materials yet. If she sorts them out, maybe she can sell them for a good price.
"Classmate, do you want some? We have information from freshman to sophomore year."
Chen Jin smiled and said, "No need, I have a complete set for freshman to junior year."
The girl who was selling the study materials did not give up, thinking that the materials in my hand were praised by all the teachers!
Two minutes later, she followed Chen Jinjin to his dormitory, wanting to continue selling, and then she heard Chen Jinjin say to the students in the dormitory: "I am your counselor, my name is Chen Jin, today's Jin, you can call me Teacher Chen. I also graduated from the Chinese Department of Nanjing University, and I am your senior sister..."
He retracted his legs that had just stepped into the dormitory door and quietly slipped away, calling his classmates to go with him. As he slipped away, he explained, "We are selling Senior Sister Chen Jin's information. She just found the information and must know it."
"Ah? How did she find it? Didn't she graduate from college?"
"Senior sister is now a counselor for freshmen."
"......Are we still selling our information?" The information they have is not complete.
"......Let's wait and see. My senior sister said she has a complete set of information from freshman to junior year. It's ok to sell other people's information." It's really embarrassing to push the sales pitch in front of the real owner! I hope I won’t meet Senior Sister Chen Jin in college in the future.
Chen Jin took a look around and found that less than half of the new students had reported in, but he could see parents of students in almost every dormitory. When parents meet teachers, they can't help but chat a little more.
Just like when her mother sent her to report to school, she did not meet her counselor, Teacher Chang, but after meeting the two class teachers in her class, she asked them many times to take care of her.
As soon as Chen Jin left the girls' dormitory, a parent of a student came to the class teacher to inquire about Chen Jin's situation.
"This year's student counselor looks very young. What did Teacher Chen do before?"
The class teacher replied: "Teacher Chen just graduated this year."
"You stayed on as a counselor right after graduation? Did you also graduate from Nanyang University?"
"Yes, Teacher Chen is from our Chinese Department." The class teacher continued: "Teacher Chen is very famous in our major. She always takes the first place in the exams. She could have been admitted to graduate school for further studies, but she chose not to do so."
"Ah? There is such a thing?" The parent felt relieved. She felt that older teachers had more experience in managing students, but it sounded like this Teacher Chen was also quite good.
The head teacher smiled, said a few more words and then moved to the next dormitory.
Many parents who sent their children here have not yet changed their mindset. Students who are able to be admitted to Nanjing University have had good grades in high school and have probably received a lot of attention and care from their teachers. But when I came to university, the teachers didn’t have enough energy to keep an eye on so many people. I had to manage my own study and life from now on.
Chen Jin went to the boys' dormitory again, and then went to the third canteen near the library to eat.
As soon as she sat down, Shen Baichuan also came over with a meal tray and asked if there was anyone across from her, and after confirming that there was no one, he sat down.
“Do the teachers from the School of Computer Science have to go back to school so early too?” When Chen Jin was studying, everyone referred to the School of Computer Science as “the School of Computer Science”, but just now, when he saw Shen Baichuan’s “academically decent” face, he was a little speechless.
"I'm back to school to do something else. Our company donated 200 computers to the school."
"...Teacher Shen is very generous." Several buildings in the school were donated by the Cheng Group. The Cheng Group also frequently appeared in some expensive research projects. Teacher Shen is a great writer with a long tradition.
Shen Baichuan smiled and glanced at the food on her plate. It looked like she could eat spicy food.
"Is the freshman registration going smoothly?"
"It's going pretty smoothly. No problems have occurred so far." She has visited the dormitories of about half of the students who have arrived so far, and they all seem normal. Yes, they were able to get into Nanjing University, which shows that there is nothing wrong with their brains. I just don’t know if these students have the brains when it comes to life and interpersonal relationships.
No one else talked after that because Chen Jin was really hungry. After she lowered her head and started eating, she never stopped using her spoon and chopsticks. She ate every grain of rice left on the plate before she felt her stomach was relieved.
"Are you full? Do you want to buy some more food?" Shen Baichuan's appetite improved a lot when he saw her eating happily.
Chen Jin waved his hand, "I ate just enough. If you eat too much, it will be difficult to take a nap later."
"Yeah, then shall we go home together? My car is parked outside."
If he hadn't seen Chen Jin coming when driving past the third canteen, he would not have planned to eat in the school cafeteria. Fortunately I met you.
"Okay, thank you Teacher Shen." Chen Jin was too lazy to drive his own car to the college building in such a hot day.
Chen Jin came out and saw that Shen Baichuan was quite low-key today, driving a black Santana, which was simply too plain compared to his luxury cars.
But when Chen Jin got in the car, he found that the interior was a little different. As expected of Teacher Shen, he is low-key but also does not mistreat himself.
When Professor Song saw a black Santana parked in front of Shen Baichuan's courtyard, he knew that Shen Baichuan had returned. Just as I was about to say hello, I saw Chen Jin getting out of the passenger seat.
Professor Song's smile deepened, and he went back to the room and said to Dean Xi, "You're right, Baichuan is a bit successful."
Dean Xi was confused and continued to study his programming book with a magnifying glass.
