In the following period of time, Chen Xu became busy as there was a lot of backlog in the data center these days.

Yang Jinxia's flash memory chip production company also needed him to provide guidance. It was difficult for the team to fully understand the information just by providing it. He also had to teach them step by step. He also had to apply for a patent for these materials.

As he had to apply for more and more patents, he simply set up a company dedicated to patent management, which was mainly managed by Secretary Kim.

This busy process lasted for a month.

In the afternoon, Chen Xu sat in the car, looking out the window at the drizzle outside. The gloomy sky made it look very dark outside. If he didn't look at the time, he would have thought it was evening.

Apart from cars, there were few pedestrians on the road. Occasionally, one appeared, but they were all in a hurry.

Last week, a cold front from Siberia roared in from the north, sweeping across the continent and all the way to the southernmost part of the continent.

Affected by the cold air, the temperature has dropped below ten degrees in the past few days. It is raining and the weather is damp and cold.

The heater in the car was on high, so I didn't feel the cold outside at all.

At this moment, the car suddenly stopped. He looked up and found that they had arrived at the school section, just in time for school to be over.

His window faced the school gate. He casually glanced towards the school gate: XX Middle School.

For some reason I feel that the name of this school is somewhat familiar.

At this time, his cell phone rang. It was his mother calling, telling him that she had found a house and asking him if he had time to go back and take a look.

He said, "It's OK if you like it. I may not be able to leave for the time being. If you like it, buy it."

His parents spent months choosing a house, mainly because they didn't want to buy second-hand. There were only a few houses left in the few housing estates, and they either didn't like the floor plan or the layout. It's only now that a new housing estate has become available.

On the phone, his mother heard that he was not going back, so she introduced the house to him. She talked for more than ten minutes. He listened patiently, and responded from time to time to show that he was listening.

The number of students gradually decreased, and the car in front started to move, very slowly.

While Chen Xu was listening to the phone, he was looking out the car window and suddenly saw a familiar figure.

"Mom, if you like it, buy it quickly before someone else gets there first. Okay, I have something else to do, so I'll hang up first." After he hung up the phone, he said to the driver, "Pull over."

…………

It was another Friday. Cao Ningning followed her classmates out of the classroom and looked at the weather outside, feeling a little worried.

"Ningning, did you bring an umbrella?" Her good friend Lily walked out of the classroom and shivered in the cold wind. "Shhh - why is it so cold?"

Cao Ningning shook her head and said, "I didn't bring it either."

"I don't know when this rain will stop." Lily made a bitter face and hid her body behind Cao Ningning. She didn't wear a down jacket because she felt fat in it, and now she was suffering the consequences.

Cao Ningning said, "Let's go downstairs first."

The two of them braved the rain and rushed to the school gate. Lily shivered even more violently. The wind was stronger outside, blowing with the rain, and it was freezing cold to the bone.

At this time, a tall boy came over holding an umbrella and said, "Let me take you back. I have an umbrella."

Lily recognized that this was Zhou Yang from their class. It was obvious that he was coming for Cao Ningning. She looked at her friend.

"No thanks." This time, Cao Ningning recognized the classmate and politely declined.

Zhou Yang was unwilling to give up and said, "I don't know when this rain will stop. The monthly exam is next week. If I get caught in the rain, I'll catch a cold. Come on."

Cao Ningning said, "Really, no need, I've already taken a taxi."

Lily looked at her in surprise, wanting to ask, is it necessary to spend such a huge price?

She knew that Ningning only had that little pocket money, and if she took a taxi, her weekly allowance would be gone. She would have to tighten her belt for the next few days.

Zhou Yang seemed very disappointed when he heard her say that. Before he could say anything else, he saw a black Maybach driving over and stopping in front of him. The rear window rolled down, revealing a young man.

When Cao Ningning saw the man, a look of joy appeared on her face. She took Lily's hand, ran over, opened the car door and got in.

Zhou Yang was left a little stunned. Driving a Maybach out to drive for Didi?

After Lily got in the car, she sat properly. Although she didn't recognize what kind of car it was, it looked very high-end. Anyway, the car she had at home could not be compared with this one.

It was warm in the car and she didn't have to get wet in the rain or cold. She felt very satisfied.

She did not mistakenly think that this was an online-hailing car, because she recognized the man at a glance. His portrait was still posted in Ningning's room.

However, the temperament is not quite similar. The real person looks much more pleasing to the eye than the portrait.

I remember Ningning said his name seemed to be Chen Xu. I didn’t expect he was a rich man.

Then I heard the man named Chen Xu say, "I just happened to pass by here and didn't expect to run into you. It's raining so hard, I'll take you back."

Lily couldn't help looking out the window. At best, it was just a drizzle. However, thinking that she could take a bus back, she didn't refute this statement.

Chen Xu asked again, "Is this your classmate?"

Ning Ning said, "Well, her name is Lily."

"Hello." Chen Xu smiled at her.

Lily's heart skipped a beat, and she blushed slightly, whispering, "Hello."

She felt that the man didn't look very handsome, but he smiled very gently, and his eyes seemed to be able to see into people's minds.

He asked again, "Where do you live?"

Lily finally had some sense left in her mind and only gave the name of her own neighborhood.

After that, Chen Xu said nothing more.

After a while, Cao Ningning found a topic, "You changed the car again?"

Chen Xu said, "This is the company's car."

"oh."

This time, it was Chen Xu's turn to bring up the topic, "Your home is quite far from the school, why don't you live on campus?"

Cao Ningning said, "We are not used to living here."

Lily nodded along.

"You are already in your third year of high school, right? There is only half a year left before the college entrance examination. Have you decided which school to apply to?"

"I haven't decided yet. Lily is going to medical school."

Lily saw Chen Xu looking at her and hurriedly explained, "My parents both studied medicine and asked me to study medicine as well."

As we were chatting, we arrived at Lily's home.

"Goodbye." When getting off the car, Lily said goodbye to him, but she didn't know how to address him, so she just ignored it.

"Goodbye." After the car door closed, the car started.

There were only Chen Xu and Cao Ningning left in the car.

Chen Xu asked her, "Have your parents reconciled?"

"Yeah, they've reconciled." Cao Ningning mentioned her parents in a calm tone, "Thanks to the police, they found them last time and gave them a good lecture. Now, they don't quarrel much anymore."

Chen Xu thought that this had something to do with her being in her third year of high school. Even if she was unreliable, she knew the importance of the college entrance examination. It was good to be able to have a year of peace.

PS: I had a headache after sitting in the car for a whole morning. I took a pill of Fenbid and wrote this chapter. My efficiency was higher than usual. Well, actually I am asking for monthly votes.
