Chapter 109 Extra

After receiving 10 million, Lin's father left Zhou Group.

Yan Xi was supposed to follow him back to the Lin family to pack up, but she hesitated for a while, gritted her teeth, and followed Zhou Yanci.

Zhou Yanci took two steps before he realized there was a little tail following him.

"Why are you following me?"

Yan Xi lowered her head, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"Senior, can you let me be an intern at Zhou's? I don't want a salary, just free food and accommodation!"

Zhou Yanci frowned, "Students' duty is to study. You should reply to the blog post."

Bowen Middle School provides dormitories and the cafeteria is free, so Yan Xi will not have to worry about her future life. At most, she will have to consider the issue of food and accommodation after graduation.

"I don't want to go back..."

"I have already been recommended by Ocean University, so I don't have to reply to the blog post!" Yan Xi looked at Zhou Yanci sincerely, "I learn things very quickly! I can be your assistant, I can learn the work of a clerk, and I can also translate..."

Zhou Yanci understood that the little girl probably didn't want to go back and suffer too many rumors because of the matter of the real and fake daughter.

He sighed, "Come with me."

…

Zhou Yanci arranged a place for Yan Xi to stay.

It was a house he owned in Haicheng, which he bought casually when he was studying and just wanted to invest.

Zhou Yanci handed the key to Yan Xi and said, "You can live here before you go to college."

Yan Xi shrank her neck, and Zhou Yanci said again, "Don't worry, I don't have a spare key."

Zhou Yanci would never do such a thing as a male landlord sneaking into the female tenant's room in the middle of the night.

"That's not what I meant!" Yan Xi said, "The rent here must be very expensive, I can't afford it..."

Yan Xi originally thought that a large group like Zhou Corporation must have employee dormitories, and it would be no problem for several people to share one room, so she could just make do with it.

Zhou Yanci's apartment looked very expensive. It might not be a big deal in his eyes, but when Yan Xi wanted to leave the Lin family, she researched the rental prices in Haicheng and found that the monthly rent for this apartment was at least five thousand.

Zhou Yanci didn't take it seriously, "I've already borrowed 10 million, and this is all I need?"

"What about the interns..." Yan Xi asked again.

"You are not yet an adult, forget it."

Zhou Yanci didn't want the Zhou family to be reported for employing child labor, let alone a 15-year-old child laborer. He would be invited for tea.

He opened his phone and transferred 100,000 yuan to Yan Xi via WeChat.

"This money should be enough for you. After you get the acceptance letter, you can apply for a tutoring job. You will also receive scholarships when you go to college. Living expenses and tuition fees should not be a problem."

There are still three months left before the college entrance examination, plus a two-month summer vacation, this money is enough for Yanxi's living expenses.

Zhou Yanci felt that there was no need for him to provide Yan Xi with a life comparable to that of a rich family's daughter. If she still wanted to be a rich daughter, she should not have left the Lin family.

Yan Xi was a little surprised and said seriously, "Senior, no need. I will find a way to pay for my living expenses and I will pay you back for the rent."

Zhou Yanci didn't take it seriously, after all, Yan Xi was only 15 years old.

If she were 18 years old, Zhou Yanci would not doubt her ability to make money. After all, with her academic performance, she could also make money as a tutor.

But she is still young, and Zhou Yanci just thought she was talking casually and didn't take it seriously.

——

After parting with Zhou Yanci, Yan Xi returned to the Lin family to pack up her things.

——The contract with Lin’s father stipulated that the things the Lin family bought for Yan Xi belonged to Yan Xi. They were all included in the 10 million that Yan Xi returned to Lin’s father, and Yan Xi had the right to take them away.

Yan Xi didn't hesitate to pack her things neatly.

Among them, Yan Xi packed up the newer luxury goods, such as clothes and bags, and sent them to the second-hand luxury goods market.

Because she had worn it before, she couldn't sell it for much money, but ten or twenty thousand would still be okay.

With money in pocket, Yan Xi felt at ease.

——She confiscated the money Zhou Yanci transferred to her. She had just borrowed 10 million yuan from the Zhou family, and the other party also provided such a good apartment. If Yan Xi accepted the money again, it would be a bit shameless.

After packing her luggage and apartment, Yan Xi returned to school.

There were still many things left to pack at school, and the next time she would return to school would probably be when she received her diploma. And Zhou Qingyu had lent her such a large sum of money, so she had to thank him in person.

Today is the 100th anniversary of Bowen Middle School.

There was a banner hanging at the school gate, and there was almost no one on campus. The students were all watching the evening party in the auditorium.

Bowen Middle School is different from ordinary middle schools. Most of the students here are children of wealthy families, and only the experimental class is composed of ordinary students. Their grades support Bowen's admission rate. Yan Xi is a rare student from a wealthy family who was admitted to the experimental class.

So even though there are less than a hundred days left before the college entrance examination, most of the students in the international class are leisurely watching the evening party, while the students in the experimental class are still writing furiously in the classroom.

Yan Xi walked into the auditorium, which was magnificent. The stage lights were focused on one center, and Zhou Qingyu was on the stage, playing her cello.

In fact, Yan Xi and Zhou Qingyu are not familiar with each other.

Both of them studied at Bowen Middle School, and they had never spoken a word to each other in six years.

The eldest daughter is beautiful and high-profile. She wears all famous brands and is surrounded by daughters of wealthy families. Yan Xi looks out of place when standing next to these people.

But when the real and fake daughters were exposed, everyone mocked Yan Xi as a fake daughter who had taken over the nest. Only Zhou Qingyu, while having her nails painted by a hired nail artist, said nonchalantly, "Even if Lin Xi is not a child of the Lin family, her grades are still better than yours!"

Zhou Qingyu raised her eyebrows and glanced at the girl who had just mocked the most. "You are unhappy with Lin Xi, isn't it because her grades are better than yours? Are you so jealous of being the perennial runner-up? I heard that your dad found you a tutor who charges 100,000 per lesson, so how come you still can't score higher than Lin Xi?"

Zhou Qingyu looked at the other girl again, "Zhang Boyi only pursued Lin Xi and not you, and you scolded Lin Xi like this. Zhang Boyi is a typical admirer of the strong. If you could be the top student in every subject, Zhang Boyi would definitely pursue you. Why are you blaming Lin Xi? Why don't you blame yourself for failing every subject?"

The girls' faces turned blue and red after being scolded by Zhou Qingyu.

"But she is still the cuckoo in the nest! There is no way to escape this!" a girl said unwillingly.

Zhou Qingyu admired her newly finished manicure, "Yes, Lin Xi's wealthy family is fake, but her achievements are real. And you, if you don't have a good background, what do you have?"

No one had ever thought that Zhou Qingyu would speak for Yan Xi even though they clearly had no connection at all.

Even Yan Xi herself doesn't know.

Back to the present, the cello performance has ended, and Yan Xi goes backstage to find Zhou Qingyu.

As usual, there was a circle of people around Zhou Qingyu, and everyone was complimenting her.

"Miss, you performed really well just now!" Li Qingqing praised, "Everyone's eyes are on you! I saw a reporter took pictures, maybe you can be on TV tomorrow!"

Zhou Qingyu looked at Li Qingqing and chuckled, "You're so sweet!"

She took off the necklace from her neck and threw it to Li Qingqing, "This is for you. I have no interest in wearing it a second time."

Li Qingqing was overjoyed.

Chen Nian's eyes lit up, "Miss, I took a special photo of you on the stage. It's so good that you don't even need to Photoshop it. I can post it on Weibo and Moments!"

Zhou Qingyu glanced at Chen Nian's SLR camera and found that she took good photos. She took off her bracelet and gave it to Chen Nian.

"I give it to you too."

Li Qingqing and Chen Nian were very happy.

This is the good thing about following the young lady, you can always receive a lot of second-hand luxury goods.

Yan Xi knocked on the dressing room door.

Zhou Qingyu was removing her makeup and through the dressing mirror, she saw Yan Xi behind her.

"You guys get out."

Only Yan Xi and Zhou Qingyu were left in the dressing room.

Zhou Qingyu was taking off her earrings and asked her casually, "Have you settled the Lin family's affairs?"

Yan Xi said sincerely, "Miss, thank you."

"Nothing to thank you for."

Zhou Qingyu carefully removed her makeup. "It was my dad who lent you the money, not me. For a businessman like him, there is no such thing as a free lunch! He must have signed a contract with you that was like a contract of sale, right?"

Yan Xi thought of the ten-year employment contract and nodded.

"So!" Zhou Qingyu continued, "This is a deal, not a favor. You have nothing to thank me for, unless you can't pay me back and want me to help you. Then thank me!"

Zhou Qingyu felt that the help she provided was insignificant.

But in Yan Xi's eyes, even a conditional loan helped her a lot.

After separating from Zhou Qingyu, Yan Xi returned to the classroom to pack up her books.

People in the experimental class are not as snobbish as those in the international class. In this class, academic performance is the most important thing, and everyone treats whoever has good grades well.

So even though the truth about Yan Xi's real and fake daughter was exposed, most of them were a little surprised, but they didn't have any other thoughts. Some people even sympathized with Yan Xi and thought she was unlucky.

Yan Xi packed up her books, said goodbye to her classmates in the experimental class, and left the classroom.

Outside the restroom at the corner of the corridor, Yan Xi suddenly heard the voices of Li Qingqing and Chen Nian——

"Zhou Qingyu is so generous!"

"There's nothing we can do. Who told her to reincarnate? We just coaxed her a few words and she gave us such expensive jewelry!"

"You still think you are the eldest daughter, but you are actually so stupid! Zhou Yanci has joined Zhou Group, so Zhou Group will definitely belong to Zhou Yanci in the end. Zhou Qingyu is just like us, destined to be married off! The cello is good, but it is just a bonus for the marriage!"

"That's right, do you really think you are the heir of the Zhou family?"

"Hey, you said that if you have a good relationship with Zhou Qingyu, can you take Zhou Yanci in the future?"

"Hahahaha you're so brave!"

"That's not true. Zhou Qingyu is so stupid. We should coax her and let her help us pull the strings!"

"That makes sense! Hahaha~"

There were bursts of laughter in the bathroom.

Yan Xi felt it was irritating.

Suddenly, she heard Li Qingqing's voice again, "Hey, Chen Nian, my zipper is loose, can you help me fix it?"

"OK."

The two of them immediately entered the bathroom cubicle.

——You can tidy up your clothes in front of the sink, but it will look a bit untidy, so it is better to stay in a single room.

Yan Xi then put down the book in her arms and went into the bathroom.

"In the back, right here, it feels a little loose."

"Let me help you check..."

Yan Xi said nothing and stuck the door handle with a mop.

Then, she picked up the bucket full of dirty water and poured it over the door of the bathroom cubicle without hesitation!

"ah--!"

"ah--!"

Screams of Chen Nian and Li Qingqing were heard from the single room.

"Who the hell! Splash water on me!"

"This water stinks, it's disgusting!"

The two of them banged on the bathroom door frantically, trying to break out, but unfortunately the mop was firmly stuck on the door handle, so they couldn't get out.

Yan Xi clapped her hands, hugged her books, and walked away.

——

After returning to the apartment, Yan Xi turned on the computer and started working.

Zhou Yanci thought that Yan Xi was a minor and it would be difficult for her to find a job, and Yan Xi also considered this point.

So she looked for work as a translator on the Internet.

She is good at English, with an IELTS score of 7, and she used to translate for Lin's father at home.

This work made good progress at the beginning.

Although her translation is slow, Yan Xi translates quickly and well. Apart from the time for eating and sleeping, she spends the other ten hours translating. Seeing her high quality and fast speed, the customers are willing to come back to her.

After a busy month, Yan Xi finally made some money, and she quickly transferred the first installment of the apartment rent to Zhou Yanci.

At that time, Zhou Yanci was stunned for a long time when he saw Yan Xi's transfer of 5,000 yuan marked "rent" on WeChat.

I underestimated her.

The days went on as planned, and with her translation work, Yan Xi felt that her life was not that difficult.

But a few days later, the head teacher suddenly called her back to school.

Her admission status as a direct student was revoked.

Yan Xi didn't react for a moment, until she saw Li Qingqing and Chen Nian in the office, she finally understood.

The head teacher lamented, "Xixi, how can you bully your classmates? This is wrong!"

Li Qingqing said arrogantly, "Canceling your admission qualification is a bargain for you! If you don't want to drop out, kneel down and apologize to me now!"

When she got home that day, Li Qingqing took a long shower to wash off the stench on her body. She was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. Fortunately, a classmate passed by and saw Yan Xi coming out of the bathroom, otherwise she would not have been caught!

Chen Nian also echoed, "Yes! You must apologize! Review it in front of all the teachers and students in the school!"

The head teacher was in a dilemma. Lin Xi was her dearest child and she always thought that Lin Xi was very well behaved. But she also knew that Lin Xi was wrong to splash dirty water.

"I can apologize and write a self-reflection." Yan Xi said calmly, "As for the reason why I hit you, it's because you were gossiping about your classmates in the bathroom. I think I have to write this down clearly so that I can show the sincerity of my apology."

Li Qingqing and Chen Nian panicked instantly.

Yan Xi has no background, so they can easily take away her admission qualification and force her to apologize to them. But if they mocked Zhou Qingyu in the bathroom and Zhou Qingyu found out, they would be finished in Bowen!

Chen Nian was scared to death, and Li Qingqing also felt a little scared.

"never mind!"

Li Qingqing didn't want the incident to get out of hand and be known by Zhou Qingyu, "We are generous enough to forgive you this time, but you won't have such a good opportunity next time!"

After that, Li Qingqing and Chen Nian left the teacher's office.

The head teacher looked at Yan Xi, "Xixi, why are you so impulsive? You've lost your qualification for admission. You have to take the college entrance examination again..." Although Yan Xi had good grades, the head teacher was also afraid of unexpected events.

The head teacher knew that Yan Xi had been taking on translation work recently. Many of Yan Xi's jobs were introduced by her. If Yan Xi had to add college entrance examination review to the mix, she was afraid that Yan Xi would not be able to cope with it.

"It's okay, teacher. I will do well in the exam."

…

After leaving school, Yan Xi took the bus back to the apartment.

In an alley near the apartment, Yan Xi bought dinner, a small portion of wontons.

Cooking takes too much time and dining in is expensive. The food sold in this alley is cheap.

After taking two steps, a few dark shadows appeared in front of me.

Yan Xi saw Li Qingqing and Chen Nian standing in front of her, with a few girls following behind them.

There are also bullies in Bowen Middle School.

In the past, Yan Xi had good grades, and as long as she didn't make any mistakes, the teacher would find ways to protect her.

But now it's different.

Li Qingqing reached out and clapped her hands, causing the wontons in Yan Xi's hand to fall to the ground. The delicious soup spilled all over the floor, and the small white wontons splashed out.

"Oh, dinner is gone, what a pity~"

Li Qingqing stepped on the wontons on the ground and crushed them into the dirt. "What the hell is this! It's dirty, even dogs wouldn't eat it!"

Chen Nian laughed, "Isn't it just something for dogs to eat?"

Yan Xi looked at the two of them steadily, "Li Qingqing, Chen Nian, you can call the police if there is a campus bully."

"Call the police?"

Li Qingqing laughed even louder and slapped Yan Xi's face with the back of her hand. "Okay, call the police! But do you have evidence? Do you have witnesses? Let's see if the police believe you!"

Unfortunately, this alley has no surveillance.

Yan Xi quietly reached out, hid the phone in her sleeve, and fumbled to press "110".

Before I could get through, a beam of high beam suddenly lit up in front of me, so bright that it was blinding.

"Who is so blind!" Li Qingqing scolded, "Can't you see there are people here?"

Yan Xi seemed to hear a sneering sound, followed by the roar of a motor. The red Ferrari rushed forward towards Yan Xi and the others!

Li Qingqing, Chen Nian and others were so frightened that they ran away before the Ferrari rushed over. They ran so fast that several of them fell to the ground.

The Ferrari didn't slow down at all until it was one meter away from Yan Xi, then it suddenly braked!

Everyone was stunned, and Li Qingqing was so angry that she wanted to curse.

Suddenly, she saw the girl in the driver's seat.

——Zhou Qingyu.

Li Qingqing was terrified, and so were the other girls around her.

Zhou Qingyu wore sunglasses, controlled the steering wheel with one hand, and looked at Li Qingqing with interest.

"Li Qingqing, you were so cocky when I wasn't around!" She glanced at Xi and the wontons on the ground, "Have you become a campus bully?"

Li Qingqing was so scared that she grabbed Yan Xi's shoulder, "How could it be bullying? It's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"

"How can it be a misunderstanding! The police are on their way. I am the witness. There is also physical evidence," Zhou Qingyu pointed at the camera on the Ferrari. "There is also physical evidence!"

Li Qingqing panicked, "Miss, you must have misunderstood? Aren't we friends? There's no need to call the police!"

Zhou Qingyu held her chin up, "Friends? But don't you all call me stupid behind my back?"

Li Qingqing felt a buzz in her head.

It turned out that day, not only Lin Xi heard what she and Chen Nian said.

Zhou Qingyu also heard it.

Zhou Qingyu was too lazy to bother with Li Qingqing anymore. She looked at Yan Xi and honked the horn twice.

"What are you standing there for? Get in the car."

Yan Xi was confused and hadn't figured out the situation yet, but she still got into the Ferrari's passenger seat obediently.

Zhou Qingyu did a cool drift and drove out of the alley.

Behind me, the police car sirens blared.

Bullying on campus is not a crime, but some punishment is inevitable.

…

The Ferrari was speeding on the road with the windows on both sides open. It was an early spring day and a cold wind blew in my face.

Yan Xi grabbed the seat belt tightly and whispered to Zhou Qingyu, "Do you have a driver's license?"

Zhou Qingyu was very proud, "You are talking nonsense, aren't you? How can my dad give me a car without a driver's license? You are the first person to ride in my car, lucky you!"

Yan Xi nodded cautiously.

I always feel that the young lady drives too fast and even overtakes several cars.

But she has a driver's license, so it's not a big problem.

Then, Zhou Qingyu said excitedly, "But I just got my driver's license today, and there are so many cars on the road! I can't even enjoy driving!"

Yan Xi: ???

How much more fun do you want?

This is driving, not racing!

A wild boar suddenly appeared in front of us.

The wild boar appeared too fast and fled on the road in panic. It was too late for Zhou Qingyu to brake. The steering wheel turned all the way to the right, and the red Ferrari crossed the sidewalk and plunged straight into the river beside it!

Yan Xi thought all this was too outrageous.

It was already outrageous that she would get into the young lady's car, but it was even more outrageous that there was a wild boar that escaped from the zoo on the main road!

The river was not deep and half of the Ferrari was submerged in the water. Yan Xi and Zhou Qingyu swam out from the open window and scrambled to the riverside.

——Fortunately, Bowen Middle School has swimming classes, and they all know how to swim.

The two men stood by the muddy and rocky river, their bodies soaking wet, their hair dripping with water, like two chickens drowned.

The cold wind made the beast even more ferocious.

Zhou Qingyu: "..."

Yan Xi: “…”

Seeing this situation, Yan Xi remembered, "Ah, you are..." the young lady who couldn't afford lilies in Songhe Cemetery five years ago.

That girl was too shabby, and Yan Xi never associated her with the glamorous young lady.

"So annoying!" Zhou Qingyu twisted her clothes, "Why do you always see me in a state of panic?"

Yan Xi suddenly understood why Zhou Qingyu was willing to help her. She said seriously, "Even if you are soaking wet, you still look good."

Zhou Qingyu stared at Yan Xi in a daze.

She laughed, and her laughter was like a clear mountain spring and a spring breeze in March.

"Lin Xi, you are quite interesting."

Zhou Qingyu reached out and put her arm around Yan Xi's shoulders, "I'm making friends with you!"

In the setting sun, the two stood side by side, the sunset stretched their shadows very long, and the cold wind blew, and the two shivered at the same time.

But Yan Xi felt warm in her heart.
