Chapter 20 I Just Like You
Chen Jianghe guided Xu Zhixi step by step while humming a tuneless Cantonese song.
In fact, he was not very good at dancing, but the atmosphere at the moment did not require any skills.
As long as your body sways, collides, moves, and impacts your balls to the rhythm, charge forward fearlessly and you’ll have more and more fun!
The masquerade lasted until 10 o'clock in the evening, and when the lights in the Student Activity Center came on again, many students were still reluctant to take off their masks.
Xu Zhixi left early with a red face, and Chen Jianghe followed closely behind .
It was a little after ten o'clock in the evening. The heat of the day was blown away by the rare breeze. The moon hung lazily in the sky, and the faint moonlight cast a layer of silver haze on the campus.
During this period of time, the single guys in the school have already taken a shower in the dormitory and are ready to go to bed, but the nightlife of couples has just begun.
Many couples passing by were either cuddling each other, or holding hands, or kissing under the street lights as if no one was around.
Whenever he encountered this kind of situation, Chen Jianghe couldn't help but criticize in his heart, and then look forward to the day when he could hold Xu Zhixi's hand and join their ranks.
Tonight is different. Chen Jianghe doesn't need to look forward to anything. The graceful and elegant figure in front of him is what he has been dreaming about day and night.
When they were almost reaching the staff dormitory building, Xu Zhixi suddenly turned around and looked directly at Chen Jianghe.
When Xu Zhixi suddenly turned around, Chen Jianghe was obviously stunned. She was so beautiful that it seemed that even the moon in the sky favored her. Under the bright moonlight, she was tall and graceful, so beautiful that she was beyond description.
Seeing Chen Jianghe in a daze, Xu Zhixi bit her lip, walked up to him, and said in a tone that was three parts angry, four parts blaming, and three parts earnest teaching: "Chen Jianghe, you went too far tonight, we can't do this..."
The more Xu Zhixi spoke, the less confident she became. When she looked up and saw Chen Jianghe looking at her lovingly, she immediately became deflated.
This guy looks like a scoundrel when he is not serious, but he is extraordinarily handsome when he is serious. Xu Zhixi really can't do anything about him.
Sometimes, she felt strange. She had always rejected her suitors decisively and without leaving any room for negotiation before, but she was soft-hearted towards Chen Jianghe.
"Are you listening to me carefully?"
Xu Zhixi stamped her feet, looking very angry, and tried her best to make herself look more intimidating.
"Yeah, I heard it."
Chen Jianghe nodded. He was good-looking, and even when he was angry he was cute, especially the contrast brought by his identity, which was particularly attractive.
When Xu Zhixi said "We can't do this" just now, Chen Jianghe didn't take it to heart at all. He even had the urge to move closer and kiss her.
"We're too close. If it gets out, people will talk about us." Xu Zhixi sighed and looked straight at him: "Aren't you afraid?"
"That's a problem."
Chen Jianghe nodded, but said indifferently: "I don't care what others say, just think they are jealous. If you care, I will be more low-key in the future."
When you meet the right person at the right age, you must make the right choice!
"This is not a question of being low-key or not. The main thing is that you can chase after anyone else... but you have to chase after me?" Xu Zhixi was also helpless.
"Last time I said I wanted to find other girls, but you didn't let me." Chen Jianghe spread his hands, looking even more helpless than her.
"How could I..."
Xu Zhixi blushed and said, "Actually, you are quite popular with girls. If you want to find other girls, I can't and won't control it."
" But I just like you... I like you to control me, what should I do?" Chen Jianghe asked her seriously again.
"You..." Xu Zhixi's defense was instantly broken, and her pretty face turned red. These words were too provocative.
Chen Jianghe looked at her. Teacher Xu's blushing face looked like a blooming peach blossom. He really wanted to kiss her cheek.
Xu Zhixi also obviously noticed Chen Jianghe's intention. She turned her face away from him so that he couldn't see her, but her heart was pounding wildly and she could hardly control herself.
"Teacher Xu!"
At this moment, a shout came from not far away, breaking the delicate atmosphere at the moment.
"You old bootlicker, you're ruining my good thing at the critical moment?" Chen Jianghe cursed inwardly after hearing the voice and identifying the person.
A bootlicker may be late, but he will never be absent.
"Teacher Bai?"
Xu Zhixi's eyes flashed as she watched Bai Qidong approaching with a smug look on his face. She stepped back a few steps and asked politely, "Weren't you attending a financial conference in Shenzhen? Why are you back so soon?"
"The meeting has concluded successfully."
Bai Qidong smiled brightly, his eyes automatically filtering out the annoying Chen Jianghe, and said to Xu Zhixi with a smile on his face, "I have good news for you. The P2P financial project that is very popular in developed Western countries will soon enter China, and it is expected to become a new outlet for Internet finance as early as next year."
“P2P?”
Xu Zhixi raised her eyebrows. She had come across this term in foreign financial magazines.
"Yes, I have discussed this project in depth with several classmates who work in financial institutions and investment bank experts. We all agree that it will set off a wave of Internet wealth creation after it enters China..."
Bai Qidong was beaming with joy and spoke eloquently, his voice full of ups and downs very infectious.
"The familiar pig-killing plate is here."
Chen Jianghe, who was standing nearby, narrowed his eyes. He had witnessed and personally participated in the entire development cycle of P2P in China.
P2P Internet finance projects began to enter the country in 2007, mainly using the Internet platform to engage in private small-scale lending.
The initial development period was from 2007 to 2012, which did not make much of a splash. 12 years later, with the rise of the concept of Internet finance, the scale expanded rapidly and reached a brief peak, which was followed by a series of bankruptcies and heavy regulatory hammers.
The end result was massive bankruptcies, executives fleeing, countless investors losing their fortunes, and families being torn apart. It was a horrific sight.
In his previous life, Chen Jianghe was deceived into joining the game by Bai Qidong and another partner. He tasted the sweetness at the beginning, but later he got deeper and deeper into it, and was finally killed.
All the past events came to his mind, but Chen Jianghe seemed unusually calm.
He was like a polite bystander. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and listened quietly to Bai Qidong excitedly describing the future of p2p to Xu Zhixi. It was like a super gold mine waiting to be developed, waiting for the first batch of gold diggers to come in.
"Old bootlicker, p2p is not a gold mine, but a guillotine for your head."
Chen Jianghe flicked the ash from his cigarette, his eyes bright.
Bai Qidong spoke a lot in front of Xu Zhixi with great enthusiasm, but it turned out that he was just entertaining himself the whole time. Teacher Xu had almost no other reaction except for symbolic nods, "um" and "oh".
What’s even more infuriating is that Bai Qidong was breathing in Chen Jianghe’s secondhand smoke the entire time.
The atmosphere was a little awkward. Xu Zhixi glanced at her watch and said, "It's getting late, Teacher Bai. I'm going back to the dormitory to rest. Let's talk again when we have time."
"Chen Jianghe, you should go back early too. Tonight's team building was quite interesting, but don't do this next time."
"Okay."
Chen Jianghe agreed readily, watching Teacher Xu turn around and enter the staff building. He glanced at Bai Qidong who was also staring at Xu Zhixi's back, and asked with a smile, "Teacher Bai, do you want to know why Teacher Xu is so happy tonight?"
"In no mood."
"No, you want to, I tell you, Teacher Xu is because of **** with me"
Chen Jianghe lost his voice halfway through his speech, and he was actually using lip reading to express himself afterwards.
Bai Qidong was intrigued by him, but after looking at it for a long time, he didn't understand what it meant. Chen Jianghe asked with a smile: "Teacher Bai, do you understand?"
"Understand..." Bai Qidong rolled his eyes, as if to say, I understand shit.
Chen Jianghe laughed and said, "Teacher Bai, I'm quite interested in that P2P you just mentioned. Can you take me to study it some time?"
"Sure, if you want to know, come to me anytime!"
Bai Qidong nodded expressionlessly, thinking to himself that you asked for this, I'll dig a hole to bury you later, so don't be upset!
"Thank you, Mr. Bai. You are such a good person ."
Chen Jianghe pretended not to see the gloom in Bai Qidong's eyes, smiled and gave him a good guy card, then turned and left.
Bai Qidong looked at Chen Jianghe going away, and remembered that when he came here just now, he and Xu Zhixi were almost kissing each other face to face. A sinister thought deep in his heart suddenly became more firm.
