Chapter 53: Life is easy
"Report!"
After school, Lin Shengjia still went to Ning Fei's office obediently.
As soon as he entered the room, he spoke first and apologized to Ning Fei: "Teacher, I'm sorry, I was late this morning. I will definitely get up earlier and leave earlier in the future."
He wanted to rely on taking the initiative to fool Ning Fei. In his opinion, Ning Fei was just a nosy young new teacher who wanted to use his so-called "educational knowledge" on himself. As long as you show your attitude of correction first and let the teacher see the "desired result", you should be able to end this detention quickly.
However, Ning Fei did not comment on his apology, but just stood up and smiled: "There are too many people here, let's go for a walk."
There were indeed a few teachers in the office, and Ning Fei's behavior of going out for a private chat sounded quite considerate. Lin Shengjia didn't want to go, but he couldn't think of a legitimate reason to resist, so he had no choice but to follow.
A teacher and a student were strolling around the campus.
At this moment, most students have either gone home or to the cafeteria. Some students are doing sports, on duty, or just hanging out together. After all, there are evening self-study classes, so even after school in the afternoon, the campus is still very lively. However, Ning Fei and Lin Shengjia just passed by them from a distance, so no one would hear their conversation.
At the beginning of the conversation, they talked about Lin Shengjia's desire to go to Shenzhen.
"Why do you want to go to Shenzhen with your uncle?" Before revealing his identity, Ning Fei wanted to test the waters first. Mainly, he wanted to know what kind of explanation Lin Shengjia had prepared for his adoptive parents.
"You want to go to Shencheng. Are you ready to stop studying?"
"Ha... How is this possible?" Lin Shengjia didn't dare to tell the teacher the truth. It's obvious that this teacher will tell trolls to his adoptive parents. Once he reveals that he doesn't want to continue his studies, he will definitely not be included in the trip to Shenzhen!
"Teacher Ning, I really want to expand my horizons." Lin Shengjia is not actually a high school student, but facing this seemingly gentle teacher, his momentum is still inexplicably weaker. "I don't think about giving up studying completely. My parents value learning so much, I will definitely at least take the college entrance examination. No matter what the result is, I will do my best."
Ning Fei thought: "No matter what the results are", this sounds like a prelude to "bad results".
He didn't respond to Lin Shengjia's question, but changed the subject: "By the way, is your uncle very rich? You want to go to Shenzhen to make a living, and he also wants to help you with your studies. Is he so powerful?"
"He...he's quite capable." Lin Shengjia hesitated for a moment and replied, "I believe he can handle these things."
"Does your uncle often send you to school?" Ning Fei asked again, "That motorcycle is very cool, is it his favorite car?"
"Yes, it's his." Lin Shengjia replied absentmindedly, "But today was the first time he gave me a ride, and we met by chance on the road."
Ning Fei: "Meet on the road? You were late even though I sent you there on a motorcycle, so you were even more late than before, right?"
Lin Shengjia: "Uh, well... I left on time! But I suddenly had a stomachache on the way, and it took me a long time to go to the toilet, so I was late when I came out. Later, I met my uncle on the road, and he sent me here."
Ning Fei chuckled.
Lin Shengjia:? ? ?
He was very confused. Because Ning Fei's smile was full of obvious mockery, which was completely different from his previous gentle and professional smile.
Lin Shengjia couldn't help but ask: "Teacher Ning, what are you laughing at?"
Ning Fei turned his head to look at him, the mockery in his eyes had not completely disappeared: "Laughing at you for not being able to pretend to be a middle school student."
Lin Shengjia: “…Huh?!”
He was stunned, unable to react to what Ning Fei was saying for a long time, and his steps stopped involuntarily.
"I asked you if Luo Chenghong was rich, but you gave a very strange and vague answer. I asked you about motorcycles, but you were also perfunctory. You are a high school boy, even if you are not interested in motorcycles, but when it comes to such boastful topics, you should always say a few more words."
Ning Fei also stopped, but he had already walked two steps forward, so he turned around and looked at Lin Shengjia: "Also, the reason you said you were late today was very ready-made and casual. Aren't you afraid that I will ask Luo Chenghong to testify against you? You are sure that Luo Chenghong will help you to explain this lie, which must be because you were late just to do something else with him."
Lin Shengjia became more and more confused as he listened, and his brows furrowed: "...Teacher Ning, I don't know what you are talking about."
Ning Fei put one hand in his pocket and stared at Lin Shengjia through the lenses: "How did you convince him to take you to Shencheng? Are you ready to give up the original owner's last wish?"
“You…” Lin Shengjia’s eyes widened, “Who are you?!”
"A professional debt collector." Ning Fei smiled, "But now, he's 'your' English teacher."
He emphasized the word "your" particularly, and just then a gust of wind blew towards him, sending a chill down Lin Shengjia's spine.
Lin Shengjia's mind was a little blank, and he spoke faster than his brain: "Debt collector...? What debt are you collecting?"
"Of course it's the bad debt you owed that's about to go bad." Ning Fei sneered, "I was wondering why such a simple will would have a bad debt trend. It turns out that you have poor grades, are biased in certain subjects, and are just thinking about escaping."
"I'm not running away!" Lin Shengjia finally came to his senses and retorted, "This world is clearly a novel, I've read it! I know that the real estate in Shencheng will increase tenfold, fiftyfold in a few years, no, even a thousandfold in twenty years! If I take advantage of the opportunity and become rich in the future, won't it be easier for my adoptive parents to live a good life? Won't it be easier to fight against the Ji family?"
"Well said." Ning Fei smiled calmly, "But doubling the value of the property, seizing the initiative, and even confronting the Ji family in the future, what does this have to do with the original owner's wish? Let me take a look at the original text of the wish--"
He paused for a moment, then slowly read out the information in the "Three-Day Guide": "'Stay away from the Ji family, stay with your adoptive parents, study hard, get into a top-notch school, and live out your adoptive parents' lives in peace and comfort.' Well, of the things you just said, only 'live out your adoptive parents' is barely relevant."
"But the original owner wanted to study hard and get into a prestigious school. Isn't the ultimate goal to live a good life? Only when you have money can you provide for your adoptive parents in their old age?" Lin Shengjia continued to refute, "And the wish of 'staying away from the Ji family', how can you stay away without some ability? The original owner was recognized by the Ji family and then abandoned because he was unable to resist the Ji family. I am going to Shencheng now to stay away from the Ji family physically first; when I become rich, I will have the power to have nothing to do with them at all. My plan is correct, right?"
"Don't use the theory of results to quibble with me." Ning Fei sneered, "I've seen many deadbeats like you. The excuse is always 'what I do is better than the original owner's wishes'."
“It’s better!”
"But the original owner didn't agree." Ning Fei responded calmly, "If the original owner agreed, I wouldn't be here. And I'm standing in front of you now because the original Lin Shengjia still wants to fulfill his original last wish."
Lin Shengjia was angry and dissatisfied: "Why is he so stubborn and stubborn!"
"If the original owner didn't have such a strong obsession, he would never have made a deal with a time traveler like you in the first place. You agreed to their conditions, took their compensation, and now you're complaining that the conditions are unreasonable?" Ning Fei sneered, "So, I advise you to give up the idea of dropping out of school and working elsewhere, and study hard. There's still more than a year and a half left, so if you try hard, you can make up for your poor academic performance."
"Ha, what if I don't want to cooperate?" Lin Shengjia certainly wouldn't accept that. "I just won't fulfill his wish, what can you do to me? He only gave me this rotten life, you want to kill me? Then he won't even have a chance to turn things around, isn't that a loss of both the wife and the army?"
"'Bad luck'? You ruined the good cards in your hand, so you say that other people have bad luck?" Ning Fei looked at Lin Shengjia and asked, "So, you don't plan to cooperate with me to complete this task? Let me be honest, your task is very simple for me. Helping you improve your grades, helping you guess the questions, and even helping you get ahead with the known information are not difficult - as long as you are obedient. You can almost just sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Aren't you willing to continue to keep your promise?"
He didn't mention the matter of luck for the time being. Although this is a good handle to control the time traveler, Ning Fei feels that the environment around Lin Shengjia is a bit strange - mainly because Luo Chenghong needs to be investigated - so Ning Fei decides to try to paint a big pie for the time traveler first.
"...What do you mean?" Lin Shengjia asked in confusion, "Are you going to give me a hint of the question?"
"If you want to take this shortcut, you will die even more miserably at the hands of Ji Xingzhe." Ning Fei replied calmly, "What I mean is, I will help you develop a plan to improve your grades. Tailor-made, exclusive 1v1. You were a student in your previous life, right? You should know that the reason why an excellent tutor is expensive is because he can lead students to break through their limits. And I will not only help you improve your grades and get you into a prestigious school, but I will also pave the way for you so that you have sufficient conditions to support your parents in their old age. Because these are the wishes of the original owner, as long as it is his wish, I will help you achieve your goal."
Lin Shengjia was actually already moved.
He didn't intend to give up the original owner's wish from the beginning, he tried hard. But in his previous life, he was just a junior college student, so he had basically forgotten all the subjects, let alone English. I have managed to catch up with math and other science subjects thanks to my hard work over the past year and the help of my cleverness. For the rest, there is really not much energy left. If he had not despaired of his own performance, he would not have tried every means to persuade Luo Chenghong to take him to Shenzhen.
Now someone came and said that he could lead Lin Shengjia to get this done without Lin Shengjia having to worry too much, as long as Lin Shengjia was obedient.
Although Lin Shengjia doesn't like being manipulated by others, who can remain completely calm after hearing Ning Fei's conditions?
"...It's easy to say, but why should I trust you?" Lin Shengjia thought he was still an adult and needed to be calm, so he continued to ask, "Why should I believe that you are here to help me? Why should I believe that you can help me achieve these goals?"
"Before I came here, I could guess your difficulties, and I got the professional identity. I have successfully collected hundreds of thousands of debts. I have seen all kinds of life and despair, and helped them through." Ning Fei's tone was slow, with a certain strange rhythm, "You think that the huge difficulties and impossible tasks are not worth mentioning when placed in other desperate situations and the many goals I have accomplished."
He smiled slightly: "Your life is easy."
