Volume 5: Twenty Undoubted Chapter 322 Luo Yan heard Liang Shuang crying in the dark
"Yuan Xudong, I'm on the school playground, can you come over here?"
As soon as Liang Shuang sent the message, she regretted it. It was too shameful to send a WeChat message to a man with whom she had an ambiguous relationship in the middle of the night. Thinking of this, she quickly clicked to withdraw the message. Unfortunately, just after withdrawing the message, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, Yuan Xudong sent her a big funny smiley face, followed by a text message that read:
"I saw everything. Wait for me at the playground entrance. I'll be there soon!"
Seeing that Yuan Xudong had seen it, Liang Shuang's mouth curled up into a smile unconsciously. Perhaps she didn't even notice it. She pressed the voice button and whispered softly:
"Okay, I'll wait for you!"
"Yeah, see you later!"
Putting away his phone, Liang Shuang walked along the cement road to the entrance of the school playground, stood under the dim street light, and looked in the direction of the boys' dormitory.
Under the dim light, a tall girl was wearing a white coat, a light pink shirt and shorts underneath, with her hair tied in a high ponytail and two strands of hair hanging in front of her forehead. Her face was fair. She stood quietly under the street lamp. Around her was a dim circle of light illuminated by the street lamp, and in the distance was a hazy darkness.
When Yuan Xudong finally rushed to the entrance of the school playground from the boys' dormitory, what he saw was the scene in front of him: a young and beautiful girl with a somewhat lonely and desolate face, as well as faint expectation and joy. At least at this moment, Yuan Xudong felt that he was happy, because he could have such a beautiful girl, and he could have her anytime he wanted.
Standing under the street light, seeing Yuan Xudong looking at her with such a burning gaze, Liang Shuang's face could not help but blush and she said:
"Yuan Xudong, why are you always looking at me?"
“Nothing!”
Smiling at the slightly shy Liang Shuang, Yuan Xudong took the initiative to walk to her side, took her hand and said with a smile:
"Come on, just take a walk, or where do you want to go?"
"Just take a walk!"
"good!"
Entering the playground, Yuan Xudong took Liang Shuang's hand and walked towards the stands. To the west of the playground of South China University of Finance and Economics are towering stands and huge brick and stone steps, and to the south is a small woods. It is also nicknamed "Lover's Slope" by college students. As for what it means specifically, those who understand will understand. To the east of the playground is an artificial lake, and to the south is close to the student dormitories.
There are only two entrances and exits in the entire playground, one close to the stands and the other close to the student dormitories. Other places are blocked by green iron fences. I don’t know what the school leaders are thinking. A playground has to be enclosed by tall iron fences. This has resulted in not many people in the playground. Generally, few students will enter the playground. During the day, some students still come here to take classes or exercise. At night, generally only a few student couples will come in. Because there are no street lights around and the environment is very quiet, it is very suitable for further promoting feelings. When feelings are deep, you can also go to the utility room behind the stands or stay in the woods for a while.
Approaching the stands, Yuan Xudong pulled Liang Shuang up the stairs. In the middle of the stands was the rostrum, and there was a small staircase leading to the back, which was the direction of the utility room. It was mainly used to store some sports equipment, such as badminton, football, volleyball, etc. The door was not locked, and students could use these sports equipment when they were in class or when they wanted to exercise on their own, and just put them back to their original place after use.
On both sides of the rostrum are huge brick and stone stairs, almost half a meter high and half a meter wide, painted with colorful paints and divided into areas, which are equivalent to seats in the stands. When the school sports meet is on, the stairs will be filled with students from various departments and classes. They will look towards the direction of the playground below and cheer for the contestants from their respective departments and classes.
Yuan Xudong pulled Liang Shuang up the stairs to the podium and looked at the dark playground. There was a dark red plastic track with white stripes, a green Rhine field in the middle, and two football goals that were not so standardly spaced. Looking at what was in front of him, Yuan Xudong recalled:
"Time flies so fast. I can still remember clearly when I entered school. Now I am about to graduate. I will no longer be a student!"
Hearing Yuan Xudong sighing about how time flies by, Liang Shuang leaned over the stainless steel railing at the edge of the rostrum, brushed his hair that was messed up by the wind, then looked up and rolled his eyes at him and said:
"What's the point of staying in this crappy school? It's boring!"
"Yeah?"
Looking at Liang Shuang, whose face was pale in the moonlight, Yuan Xudong leaned towards her and said:
"You have been in college for three years, and you will graduate in the last year. Don't you have any memories worth cherishing?"
"Yes, I have!"
"What?"
After looking at Yuan Xudong, Liang Shuang smiled and said:
"You really want to know?"
“I want to know!”
"Well, since you want to know so much, I'll tell you!"
Looking at Yuan Xudong, who was full of curiosity, Liang Shuang smiled and said:
"My ex-boyfriend Chen Zhuo and I met on a golf course. I owed him one dollar for buying water, so he gave me one dollar. When I was drinking water, he took a photo of me. Later, we got together. It was a good time until I met you. Everything around me changed, and I started to have bad luck. Do you think you are the calamity star sent by God to punish me?"
“I feel like a lifesaver!”
Seeing Liang Shuang with a smile on her face, Yuan Xudong immediately embraced her, held her in his arms, caressed her and comforted her:
"Xiao Shuang, I will take good care of you from now on!"
"Yeah?"
Yuan Xudong didn't seem to be acting, but rather expressing his true feelings. However, he was actually a two-timing scumbag. Thinking of this, Liang Shuang looked at him with some sarcasm:
"What about Jiang Xiaoguo? You have to take good care of her too, take care of two girls at the same time, and take care of two families in the future, right?"
"Isn't this good?"
Yuan Xudong naturally had no answer to such a difficult question that went against universal values. He could only argue:
"You and Jiang Xiaoguo, how about you two go to the south and the north, or one in China and the other abroad?"
"You are ugly, but you think beautifully. You are one in the south and one in the north, one in China and one abroad. Do you think you are the emperor?"
"Although I am not the emperor, but..."
Looking at Liang Shuang who looked a little angry, Yuan Xudong put his arm around her waist and said with a smile:
"You can be my queen. You and Jiang Xiaoguo, one of you can be the queen and the other can be the imperial concubine. Do you want to be the queen or the imperial concubine?"
"I don't want to bother with you!"
After giving Yuan Xudong a blank look, Liang Shuang pushed him away and said:
"By the way, I'm going to attend a fashion party at 8 o'clock tomorrow night, and I'm still in need of a male companion. Do you have time?"
"Yes, I promise to be there whenever you call!"
"Yeah?"
After glaring at Yuan Xudong, Liang Shuang hesitated for a moment and said:
"If you don't have time, forget it. I'll go alone!"
"No, I have time!"
"I heard from Jiang Xiaoguo that her mother came to Shenzhen. Don't you need to go and accompany them tomorrow?"
"They'll be there during the day and you at night. Isn't the party you're going to attend at 8 p.m.?"
"You've worked really hard, thank you!"
Looking at Liang Shuang who was speaking sarcastically, Yuan Xudong pretended not to understand and said:
"You're welcome. I'm just sitting around doing nothing anyway!"
“Who actually thanked you?”
Looking at the shameless Yuan Xudong, Liang Shuang couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said angrily:
"shameless!"
"Thank you for the compliment!"
"You are really..."
Just when Liang Shuang was about to say something, she vaguely saw Jiang Xiaoguo and the other two walking hand in hand into the playground, heading towards the rostrum. Afraid that they would see her and Yuan Xudong together so late at night, she quickly pulled the still unaware Yuan Xudong down to hide and said:
"Jiang Xiaoguo and the other two are coming this way, let's go quickly!"
“Is this true or false?”
"Really? Why would I lie to you?"
"Let me see!"
Seeing Liang Shuang getting a little anxious, Yuan Xudong looked up at the playground below. As expected, Jiang Xiaoguo, Duan Jiabao, and Luo Yan were walking along the plastic track towards the stands. According to their speed and distance from each other, if Yuan Xudong and Liang Shuang continued to run down, they would be easily discovered. If they couldn't run forward, they could only run backwards. Thinking of this, Yuan Xudong pulled Liang Shuang and crouched down and moved backwards, saying:
"Let's go to the sports equipment room for a while. We'll come out after they leave!"
"good!"
Yuan Xudong pulled Liang Shuang along the small staircase into the sports equipment room and closed the door. Only a small window in the room let in moonlight. The window was in front of the podium and was separated by an iron fence. The equipment room could be easily seen from above. Yuan Xudong had no choice but to pull Liang Shuang to hide in the corner of the wall near the window, where it was basically impossible to be seen from outside the window.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing Yuan Xudong take out his cell phone and turn it off, Liang Shuang couldn't help but ask.
"Have you never watched TV?"
Turning off his phone, Yuan Xudong looked at Liang Shuang and whispered:
"What if someone calls me? Wouldn't we be exposed?"
“Yes!”
I feel that what Yuan Xudong said makes sense. After all, in such a dark and quiet environment, if someone calls or something, it is really possible that Jiang Xiaoguo and the others outside will find out something. Thinking of this, Liang Shuang also set his mobile phone to flight mode.
"Have they arrived yet?"
"I don't know. The dorms close at half past ten. What time is it now?"
Liang Shuang looked at the time and said:
"It's just a little after nine!"
"Then let's stay here for an hour and a half before going out!"
"Ah, so long?"
"It's okay, it's only an hour and a half, it will pass quickly!"
Looking at Liang Shuang hiding beside him, Yuan Xudong pressed her against the wall while speaking. Liang Shuang seemed to understand Yuan Xudong's next plan. She couldn't help but slightly widen her eyes and said with a flushed face:
"You, what do you want to do?"
"What do you think I want to do?"
…
Outside, in front of the rostrum, Jiang Xiaoguo, Duan Jiabao, and Luo Yan climbed up the stairs and passed by a small window separated by an iron fence. Luo Yan stopped and listened attentively:
"I seemed to hear Liang Shuang's voice. She seemed to be crying!"
“Is this true or false?”
Hearing Luo Yan say this, Jiang Xiaoguo and Duan Jiabao also stopped and listened attentively, but they didn't hear anything. Jiang Xiaoguo said with a smile:
"Okay, stop being suspicious. Liang Shuang might be having fun in some hotel right now!"
"That's right, I noticed that Liang Shuang has become extravagant with her money recently. She must have a new boyfriend!"
Duan Jiabao on the side nodded slightly and smiled:
"It's good to be beautiful. When one leaves, another comes. You'll never be short of money!"
"You don't need money, okay?"
Seeing Duan Jiabao sighing that Liang Shuang would never lack pocket money, Jiang Xiaoguo rolled his eyes and said:
"How much living expenses did you ask your family for this month?"
"No, I didn't ask my family for money, I spent my own money!"
“Is this true or false?”
Hearing Duan Jiabao say that she spent all her own money, Luo Yan, who was also asking her mother for living expenses, said in disbelief:
"You only earn 3,000 yuan a month. Where do you get your own money?"
"New Year's money!"
Seeing that Jiang Xiaoguo and Luo Yan didn't believe him, Duan Jiabao quickly explained:
"Since I was little, my lucky money was given to my mother to manage. After I found my current job, my mother returned the money to me. She bought Moutai shares for me, and the price actually rose to more than 1,000 yuan per share. I made a lot of money!"
Hearing that Duan Jiabao's mother had invested all her New Year's money in Moutai's stock, although Jiang Xiaoguo and Luo Yan did not trade stocks, this did not affect their knowledge of Moutai's stock power at all. Thinking of the crazy increase in Moutai's stock, Jiang Xiaoguo said with some envy:
"Did you sell the stock?"
"No, my mom said that the stock will continue to rise in the future. If it is less than 2,000 yuan per share, I won't sell it. The dividends I get every year are enough for me to spend!"
"Dividends?"
Hearing Duan Jiabao say that the dividends alone would be enough to cover her daily expenses, Luo Yan asked curiously:
“How much dividend do you get every year?”
"Let me think about it!"
Duan Jiabao thought for a moment and said:
"In June this year, the dividend per share was 17 yuan. I have 20,000 shares, so the dividend is 340,000 yuan!"
“340,000 yuan!”
Although it was a lot, Duan Jiabao was also very good at spending money. Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaoguo looked at Duan Jiabao and asked:
"Is it enough to spend?"
"It's okay to be frugal, but my mother also bought me four houses and shops in Shenzhen, all of which are rented out. Together with the annual rent, it's more than two million, which is barely enough!"
"I……"
Looking at Duan Jiabao and then at Luo Yan, Jiang Xiaoguo suddenly felt grief welling up in his heart and burst into tears:
"Oh my god, I won't live anymore. Even if I work myself to death in this life, I still can't earn as much as you guys!"
"Xiaoguo, don't cry. Hard work is another name for miracles. I believe you will succeed!"
"real?"
Seeing Duan Jiabao comforting himself in this way, Jiang Xiaoguo immediately stopped and said with interest:
"Tell me, how will I succeed?"
"Well……"
Glancing at Jiang Xiaoguo, Duan Jiabao said cautiously:
“For example, buying a house in Shenzhen?”
The house must be bought. Jiang Xiaoguo felt that what Duan Jiabao said made sense, so he nodded and said expectantly:
"Hmm, what else?"
"Also, buy another car?"
"Hmm, what else?"
"Also, save a little more?"
"Hmm, what else?"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo's excited eyes, Duan Jiabao didn't know what to say. Luo Yan couldn't help but rolled her eyes and said:
"Xiao Guo, please don't make things difficult for Da Bao. Some things are either born with you or not. If you are not born with them, then you don't have them. If you are trying hard, then you are asking for a miracle. Doesn't that imply that there is little hope?
How many people don't work hard for a living, or to survive? Maybe not to the point of desperate efforts, but there is a ceiling for hard work. For example, Dabao's 20,000 shares of Moutai stock bring in hundreds of thousands of yuan in dividends each year, which is higher than the annual income of 99% of people.
So, you'd better accept your fate, work hard, and fight with your life, but don't die before reaching your goal. I have such an example around me. One of my mother's apprentices works very hard and forgets to eat and sleep all day long. Even my mother praised her and said that she might be better than herself in the future.
But in the end, I was sick and hospitalized, and my mother paid for the medical expenses. In the end, I returned to my hometown with a disease and nothing. So don't put the cart before the horse. Making money is for a better life, not for you to sacrifice your life to make money. Do you understand?"
"Sure, Stone!"
Unexpectedly, Luo Yan would say something so insightful. Jiang Xiaoguo was a little surprised and said:
"Making money is for a better life, not for you to sacrifice your life to make money. Not bad, not bad. I seem to have heard this sentence somewhere. Who said it?"
"have no idea!"
Luo Yan shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands:
"My mother often says that people nowadays are only thinking about making money, on the one hand to have a better life, and on the other hand to compete better. What you don't have, I want to have, and what you have, I want to have better. The reason why people live such a tiring life is mostly because of themselves. They can't get along with themselves and have to do things beyond their ability. They would rather admit that they don't work hard than admit that they are powerless. How can I put it? How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan? You must first determine whether you are a sparrow or a swan, right?"
"Shi Tou, you are amazing! I have a new respect for you!"
“Haha, it’s not bad!”
…
While Jiang Xiaoguo and the other two were standing in front of the small window, eating stinky tofu bought from the snack bar outside the school supermarket and chatting and joking, just across the wall, Yuan Xudong was holding Liang Shuang and playing ball in the sports equipment room.
