After leaving school, Xu Xiangyang went straight to the department store.
He needs to come and see how the clothing from other factories is doing.
The clothes from their factory haven't arrived yet, but those from other places have almost arrived.
I reckon the clothes will arrive in the next few days, so I'll wait and see.
Xu Xiangyang had just looked at some coats when he turned around and saw a familiar face.
The person opposite was also stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting the two of them to meet here.
Xu Xiangyang snapped out of his reverie and greeted, "Director Xiao, it's been a long time!"
This person was Xiao Zhenyu, who worked at the Xincheng Grain Bureau. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time.
What a coincidence that we met in Beiping today.
There are quite a few department stores in Beiping, and it's rare to stumble upon one by chance.
Xiao Zhenyu nodded and said, "I heard that Director Xu came to study. He's so outstanding, yet he still doesn't forget to learn. That's really impressive."
He looked at the person in front of him. From the past to the present, Xu Xiangyang had always been so mature and steady.
Unfathomable...
Moreover, he had previously suspected Xu Xiangyang of running a black market, but he had been unable to find any evidence.
Surprisingly, even after so many years, they still haven't given themselves away at all.
He knew that Xu Xiangyang was not as simple as he seemed; he could only say that this person was too unfathomable.
Xu Xiangyang smiled and said, "One is never too old to learn, and I am also enriching my own knowledge."
Everyone was just exchanging polite words, so mutual flattery was enough.
Xiao Zhenyu's return to Beiping this time was also because the transfer order was about to be issued, and he was to be transferred back to Beiping.
He glanced at Xu Xiangyang, said hello, and left.
Both of them knew each other was shrewd and calculating, so there was no point in exchanging polite words.
Xu Xiangyang knew that he had been inquiring about and investigating him, but unfortunately there had been no progress.
If he were discovered so easily, how could he possibly make a living?
However, it should be noted that Xiao Zhenyu is no pushover.
Fortunately, these two years will pass quickly. Even if he finds out something, the heat will have died down by then, and it will be too late for him to know.
After leaving the department store, Xu Xiangyang returned home. Since no one was there, he didn't need to light the stove.
It's too much trouble and you don't need it. How comfortable it would be to have a constant temperature in the room?
The next morning, when Xu Xiangyang arrived at school, he saw Zhang Qiang waiting for him in the classroom.
It's not time for class yet, so it's okay to stay here.
Even when classes are in session, students from other classes can freely go anywhere to attend classes.
Zhang Qiang nudged his arm and whispered, "Yesterday you rejected Liu Xiaoqing. I heard from Peng Xueting that you were beaten up by several female classmates last night."
You got beaten up?
Xu Xiangyang looked at him with some surprise, "Is that so?"
He never imagined that anyone would take action because of him.
It was mostly female classmates, so the casual interactions were fine.
Zhang Qiang nodded, "Of course, none of them went to class today, they probably got a beating."
He was somewhat moved, as this was the first time he had ever heard of female classmates fighting over male classmates after so many years of schooling.
The gay man himself was sitting right across from him.
Xu Xiangyang clicked his tongue and couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't encourage them, so don't go telling anyone about this."
He can't stop it, or he might give others grounds for criticism.
Besides, he didn't know any of these people.
If anything, it's Liu Xiaoqing's bad luck that she had to confess her feelings to him in public.
Some things are better left unsaid; knowing them only makes things more complicated.
He had no classes in the afternoon, so he walked to the library and ran into Liu Xiaoqing, who was waiting for him.
Of course, they were waiting for me on purpose. Otherwise, who would stand here in this freezing weather?
Liu Xiaoqing looked at him with a resentful expression, as if he were a heartless man.
Xu Xiangyang frowned, looking at her purplish-blue lips, but he couldn't see anything else.
I guess this is what happened when someone beat him up.
The beating wasn't enough, so he came looking for me again.
He found it quite annoying. Shouldn't he have just been a quiet student after being rejected? Why did he have to keep harping on it?
I really don't understand!
"Xu, why didn't you think about me yesterday? And those girls hit me, so I didn't go to class today." Liu Xiaoqing's tone was weak and resentful.
Her expression was pitiful, as if Xu Xiangyang was the one who bullied her.
Xu Xiangyang watched her performance, sneered, and said, "Me, consider your needs? Who are you? Why should I consider your needs?"
"You confessed your feelings in public without any preparation for rejection? Are you expecting me to accept every confession from everyone? Why should I?!"
His tone was cold and hard, devoid of any emotion.
This gave Liu Xiaoqing a huge headache. What was all this about?
She just wanted Xu Xiangyang to feel sorry for her, so that the two of them could slowly get closer.
Who asked him that?
Besides, isn't it obvious that there's something wrong with someone who isn't dating?
She suddenly realized that Xu Xiangyang must have a lover, otherwise why wouldn't he accept her?
I heard that Li Nan also liked Xu Xiangyang, but she was rejected.
She's the commander's daughter, and she's beautiful.
Although she didn't want to admit it...
Xu Xiangyang stopped wasting words and said directly, "If you don't pay attention to the consequences next time, don't blame me for being impolite."
After saying that, he walked straight past Liu Xiaoqing and went to the library.
The world is vast, but nothing is more important than studying!
