At the beginning, Jiang Xueyi arranged for Si Mingyu to sign a contract and join a branch of Shenzhou Group, and gave him a position as a research and development engineer, mainly to provide him with relevant benefits and find a reasonable excuse for him to practice his supernatural powers in the hotel at night.
Later, as Si Mingyu's abilities improved, he became a core employee of the company and gained more resources, so this job became dispensable.
When Xia Tong asked him about it, he followed his pre-made excuse: the company manager was an acquaintance, and he'd asked him to create a fake agreement so he could go out at night. He'd chosen this position simply to get some time off from school, as it matched his major. This was also the excuse he'd used to explain his status as a wealthy second-generation kid to his roommates after they'd revealed him.
After all, I am now a rich second-generation, so there is no reason for me to work for others. It is easy for people to accept this approach.
It is common for ordinary people to find all kinds of reasons and excuses to ask for leave in school. Isn't it normal for him, a rich second-generation, to do so?
After hearing Si Mingyu's words, Xia Tong put aside her doubts.
It is really too much to say that you can be hired by a company to do R&D work in your freshman year. Science is not like liberal arts. The mastery of technology is gradual. Even the talented seniors in the past only started to show their talents in their junior year. You cannot succeed without sufficient time to accumulate and settle down.
But if it is just an excuse for not living on campus, it is not difficult to understand. It is easy to do it by giving a reasonable reason and finding some connections.
Seeing how capable he was made Xia Tong more determined to get closer to Si Mingyu.
For Si Mingyu, it would be nice to have someone to chat with since he was free.
"ah!"
Bang! ~Crash!
The screams and the sound of breaking dishes attracted everyone's attention.
Because it was a dinner party, the girls in the class had all dressed up. A girl named Lu Dan, wearing high heels, had stepped on some oil that had been spilled on the floor. She slipped and knocked over the round table in front of Si Mingyu, splashing the soup all over him and Xia Tong.
The two men, not caring about the stains on their bodies, rushed forward to help the fallen Lu Dan up. She had fallen sideways and was caught by the table, so apart from a sprained ankle, she suffered no other injuries.
However, the ankle was visibly swollen, so Xia Tong quickly arranged for the other girls to take him to the hospital. In this situation, it was best to see a doctor to ensure reassurance. Fortunately, the Fifth People's Hospital was very close, less than two kilometers away.
Because of this unexpected incident, the dinner party had to end here. Fortunately, everyone had almost finished eating, so they went back to school in groups.
After the emergency doctor diagnosed that it was indeed a sprained ankle and nothing else, he told Lu Dan to buy some Yunnan Baiyao aerosol and spray it on himself and not to exercise in the near future.
When leaving the hospital, Lu Dan grabbed Xia Tong and expressed his concerns.
Just now, the table was overturned and the soup splashed all over Si Mingyu and Xia Tong. Xia Tong's clothes only cost a few hundred yuan, but Si Mingyu was wearing a GUCCI knitted zipper sweatshirt and a pair of Zegna casual pants today, which added up to nearly 20,000 yuan. Lu Dan was afraid that the other party would ask her to pay compensation.
Some people may ask: "Why bother bringing this up? Can't I just play dead and wait for the other party to come? What if the other party doesn't take it seriously?"
It works, but it's not the best solution.
If the other party doesn't want her to pay compensation, she won't suffer any loss by actively apologizing, but it will instead show her attitude.
Lu Dan felt that Si Mingyu might be rich, but after all, his clothes were too expensive, and 20,000 yuan was a lot of money. If he pretended to be nonchalant and annoyed him, perhaps he would have to pay attention to something he didn't care about in the first place just to save face.
After all, it happened in front of everyone. If you soiled my clothes, would you just let it go? What would others think of me if the news got out?
Maybe what you just need to pay for cleaning will end up being a replacement.
If your efforts are ineffective, the worst outcome is that you will have to pay compensation to the other party.
This is also the reason why she expressed her concerns to Xia Tong, hoping that she could mediate.
After hearing her words, Xia Tong dialed Si Mingyu's number and turned on the speakerphone.
"Hello, it's the squad leader. What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Lu Dan and I just came out of the hospital. She has something to tell you about what happened today."
"I'm Lu Dan. I'm so sorry about what happened today. I got your clothes dirty. I know they weren't cheap..."
"There's no need to mention this anymore. Does squad leader have anything else to say?" Si Mingyu interrupted Lu Dan.
"Um, I'm fine."
"I'll hang up if I have nothing else to do. Bye."
Beep, beep, the phone was hung up.
"Is that the end?" Lu Dan felt a little unbelievable. She had imagined various possible answers from the other party before making this call, but she didn't expect that the other party didn't even let her finish her words.
"Are you surprised?" Xia Tong asked with a smile.
Lu Dan nodded.
"What we ordinary people think are extremely expensive clothes are not worth mentioning at all to some people." Xia Tong had just chatted with Si Mingyu for a while and had a general understanding of his situation. She felt that the other party would not care about this matter, so she agreed to Lu Dan's request to make the call for her.
"Thank you, squad leader! I got you all covered in this, and you sent me to the hospital..." The two of them couldn't favor one over the other. Si Mingyu's matter was over, and Xia Tong couldn't just ignore it.
Although Xia Tong said in the end that she just needed to wash the clothes, Lu Dan still insisted on inviting her out to play to express his gratitude.
As the top university in Shanghai, anyone who can get in must have a high IQ, and a small number of them have high EQ. Si Mingyu happened to meet two of them today.
When Xia Tong called, Si Mingyu had just returned to the hotel and was about to practice his supernatural powers. He had no time to listen to what they were saying. If the clothes got dirty, the hotel would wash them. If they couldn't be washed well, they would just buy new ones.
Although men's clothes don't have as many styles as women's, there are always more than a dozen new styles every season to change into.
If they are famous people, their faces are their trademarks. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Iron Man of Silicon Valley, even Pony Ma, Boss Ma, and Principal Wang, it doesn't matter what they wear.
But Si Mingyu is too young now. If he doesn't wear a set of branded clothes and dress maturely when doing things, he will easily be looked down upon.
In the final analysis, so-called brand-name clothing is only used to distinguish classes. After all, rich people cannot write "I am rich" on their faces, and they cannot always carry houses, cars, and savings with them. There must be some items that can reflect their sense of superiority, right?
Of course, the workmanship and materials of brand-name clothing are undeniable, but Si Mingyu personally feels that it is more about the brand premium.
