Hua Kai agreed, took the report card back to the classroom, posted the grades, and most of the students had arrived. They were all looking at the grades and discussing them.
As soon as Zhang Miao came in, he pulled Hua Kai aside and asked, "Hua Kai, is Brother Qingyi in the city?"
Hua Kai looked at Zhang Miao and could really confirm that this girl truly liked Hua Qingyi. She shook her head and said, "My brother went home these past few days, so you probably won't be able to see him this time."
Zhang Miao's expression immediately turned somber: "I, I, I miss your brother."
Hua Kai didn't know what to say, because if she didn't see Ye Yifan for a few days, she would miss him too. But she was different from Ye Yifan; she had the ability to make many decisions for herself, but Zhang Miao was different.
Zhang Miao thought for a moment and then asked Hua Kai, "Can I come to your house when I have time?"
Hua Kai was surprised by Zhang Miao's initiative: "It's possible, but will your parents allow it?"
Zhang Miao said confidently, "If it doesn't work elsewhere, your family will definitely be fine. This semester, I earned enough money to pay off my family's debts, and my dad's leg has improved after receiving good medicine. You helped save my family, how could it not work?"
Hua Kai said, "Anyway, you promised me you wouldn't confess to my brother, and you'd wait until graduation."
Zhang Miao nodded repeatedly: "I promise, I'll just look at him."
Hua Kai thought for a moment and then said, "That won't work either. My brother isn't always home. Sometimes we come to the city, and sometimes we go to the provincial capital. If you go and we're not home, then it'll be a waste of your trip."
Zhang Miao deflated upon hearing this: "What should we do then?"
Hua Kai sighed and said, "Well, you're my best friend, so I'll have my brother come to your house with me sometime."
Zhang Miao almost jumped up while hugging Hua Kai: "Hua Kai, you're so kind."
Hua Kai said, "You should take a look at your grades. It's really because your early romance is affecting your studies."
Zhang Miao said, "No, I just didn't want you to say that. I'm still studying very hard. Of course, it's also so that my family won't feel guilty that I'm making money while neglecting my studies. So I'm really working hard and I won't fall behind." As she spoke, she went to check her grades.
Just as Zhang Miao had predicted, there was no regression, but there wasn't much progress either. However, she was still quite satisfied with the mid-range result.
At that moment, Gu Xiaoxue called out to Hua Kai from the doorway.
Hua Kai quickly went out: "Director Gu, you're so different when you're in love, you're beaming with happiness!"
Gu Xiaoxue was indeed deeply in love, so her smile seemed to be printed on her face: "It's alright, it's alright. I still have to thank you for this. Meng Jing and I are planning to treat you and Brother Fan to a casual dinner tonight."
Hua Kai naturally had no objections: "Alright, today I'll make you go all out."
Gu Xiaoxue said, "It's nothing, you and Brother Fan can order whatever you like today."
"Okay, but we officially start our holiday at noon. I'll go to the shop this afternoon, and I'll meet you at the school gate after school in the evening, okay?"
"You don't need to come to school anymore. Just wait at the shop. I'll call Brother Fan this afternoon, and we'll all come over after get off work."
"That works too. See you tonight?"
"Oh, by the way, I saw your grades, impressive."
"So-so."
"That's just you being modest."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Gu Xiaoxue went back to work. Today was her last day at work before winter break, so she had a lot to do.
After Gu Xiaoxue left, Hua Kai's homeroom teacher also came and talked about some holiday precautions, and then the holiday officially started.
Zhang Miao wasn't in a hurry to go home, saying she would go back after noon, as she wanted to talk to Hua Kai some more.
Hua Kai thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll take you to my factory. I have some things to do there."
Zhang Miao had never been to a factory before and was very curious, so she agreed to go to the furniture factory with Hua Kai.
Upon arriving at the factory, Hua Kai showed Zhang Miao around, then asked Zhang Miao to wait in the office while she spoke with the manager about some matters before returning to her own office.
Zhang Miao looked at Hua Kai with admiration: "Hua Kai, you are truly the person I admire most, without a doubt."
Hua Kai smiled and said, "It's too early for you to say that now. When you go to university and go out into the world, you'll meet many capable people."
Zhang Miao shook her head: "That's different. We're the same age. I know what I can think of and what I can do. Compared to you, I'm just a primary school student."
"Your future will be bright."
“I believe you because I have a friend like you. I can’t help but try my best, otherwise I’m afraid you won’t want to talk to me anymore.”
"You make me sound like a snobbish person. Do I look like someone who would turn their back on someone without a second thought?"
"No, it's just that I can't hold you back too much."
"I know, I was just kidding. Let's have lunch here in the canteen. The food at our factory is really good. After we eat, I'll take you to the station."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony, but I don't need you to take me home. I can find my way back."
“I have to go to the store anyway, so we can walk together for a while since we're going the same way.”
"That's alright, I still have a lot to tell you."
"About my brother?"
Zhang Miao shook her head: "No, of course it has something to do with Brother Qingyi. Didn't you guys tell me before that you wanted my family to consider opening a snack bar near the school? I talked to my parents when I went home this time, and they agreed."
Hua Kai looked at Zhang Miao with some approval: "I was worried that you wouldn't be able to convince your family."
Zhang Miao said, "At first, they refused, but after a week of persuasion, they agreed to give it a try. I'll let my sister stay at my grandma's house for now, and we'll bring her over once things are more stable here."
Hua Kai listened to Zhang Miao's words and knew that she had a plan, so she felt more at ease and said, "Okay, then come to the city a few days before the New Year to rent a storefront. There are quite a few vacant storefronts near our school, let's find a suitable one."
"Well, I guess I'll need your help then."
"No need to be so polite, my brother will be there too."
"Flower blooms, you are truly my benefactor."
"Alright, stop being so polite, let's go eat first."
The two talked as they went to the canteen. They arrived early, and there weren't many workers there yet. After eating, they went to the vicinity of Huakai's shop together. Zhang Miao went to the station, while Huakai went to the shop.
Today, I didn't think too much about business or work. In the afternoon, I took a stroll around the neighborhood and looked at houses. When I have an income next year, I should buy a house. Renting is inconvenient and uncomfortable.
For now, I'll just buy a regular house. When I have more money, I'll buy a yard and build a villa or something.
After all, we need to build a house and a factory in the spring, and my older brother and I also need to start a decoration company, all of which require money.
Anyway, there are indeed many places where money is needed, but fortunately, the home furnishing workshop will soon generate a return on investment, which will solve these problems.
