Xia Shuo swagger

Chapter 17 Social... Beatings

Hey, school is about to start.

One morning in late August.

Xia Zhaoyao, who was queuing in the Zhuyuan cafeteria, suddenly realized this.

As the summer vacation draws to a close, more and more students are returning to school on campus.

The most convincing proof is that the cafeteria has to start queuing up.

When returning to the dormitory, Xia Zhaoyao happened to see the emerald green campus commuter bus parked at the entrance of the apartment complex.

Several senior girls were working with their parents to unload heavy suitcases from the running boards.

Huaijiang University does not allow unregistered private cars to enter the campus, but there are two fixed campus commuter car routes.

The school buses of different routes are painted with different patterns. The green bamboo and orchids represent the exclusive route of Xiaobeifeng, and the yellow chrysanthemum and plum patterns represent the exclusive route of Xiaonanfeng.

It runs every half an hour during the holidays, and I heard that the frequency will increase to every 10 minutes after school starts.Teachers and students in the school can directly swipe the campus card to board.

Of course, different fares are unavoidable - one yuan per person for the campus card, and ten yuan for off-campus personnel.

"This is a commuter bus—"

This was the explanation given by the driver's master when Xia Zhaoyao made an inquiry.

"Huaijiang University is considered half of the scenic spot, isn't there a fee for the cable car on Mount Emei?"

"so good--"

Xia Zhaoyao glanced at those girls enviously.

If there were no accidents at home, she should still be packing her check-in luggage at home now, right?
Speaking of which, I don't know how Lao Xia is doing now, are mother and brother doing well now?

For more than half a month, except for the mutual praise in the circle of friends, she and Xia Bang have no more contact.

Xia Bang's new job is in Mauritius. Judging from his circle of friends a few days ago, the security, living and eating there are not bad - but the rest is hard to say. I heard that Lao Xia is in charge of a medium-sized infrastructure project there. Well, the bulk of the project progress payment has to wait for a few months. The only advantage at present is stability, and there are no deadly calls from creditors.

Perhaps, after a while, I can make a video call with Lao Xia?After all, he's abroad now, so he won't be so ineffective...

Ding-dong-

At this moment, Xia Zhaoyao's mobile WeChat suddenly vibrated several times.

【￥10000.00 please collect】

【WeChat Transfer】

Xia Bang: Sister, my salary in Mauritius has arrived, and I will pay you part of it first.

Chabon: If it is not enough, I will find a way.It is a big deal for your child to go to school, so don't delay it.

"..."

Xia Zhaoyao looked at the text on the screen, edited a few paragraphs, and then deleted them.

This is the secret word that she and Lao Xia agreed before parting.

If Xia Bang said that, it means that his mobile phone information will be seen by a third person... Sure enough, someone is watching.

Thinking about it, the project that Lao Xia is in charge of this time is so far away, the domestic creditors will somehow think of ways to prevent him from disappearing.

Ugh.

Let's get on with it.

Ding.You confirm receipt of the transfer from the other party.

Xia Zhaoyao thought for a few seconds, sighed lightly, and replied on the phone.

"Got it, I'll tell the accountant."

"Lao Xia, you should deal with your own mess as soon as possible and return to China early."

"You don't need to take care of my family, take care of your wife and children first, and don't talk so much about paying the money next time."

[Xapang]: OK, next time for sure.

Well, that should work.

Xia Zhaoyao glanced at the solitary answer, and resisted the desire to continue replying.

Although she knew her reply, she would definitely get a new answer, but right now she had to restrain herself.

What's more, it's just dawn on the Huaijiang side now, Mauritius is four hours later than in China, so it's probably still late at night there, right?
It seems that Lao Xia has insomnia again——

but……

Xia Zhaoyao looked down at the breakfast bag in his hand.

Freshly ground soy milk and crispy golden fried dough sticks in the cafeteria of Huaijiang University.

Oh, and there are also exquisite and lovely thin-skinned dumplings, which is Tangtang-senpai's favorite thing.

Maybe she doesn't have to envy others...

Compared with those seniors who still have to be picked up by their parents, her "seniority" at school has long since changed.

for example……

…………

"Ah, Daddy Swagger—I'm starving to death."

"...Tangtang, if you're hungry, go eat together, you're about to grow mushrooms."

Xia Zhaoyao skillfully dodged Tangtang who was rushing towards him, and put the steamed buns on the folded table casually.

"Besides, you are the secretary anyway, the student secretary of Zhuyuan Liushe—"

"The student secretary can't let Xiaolongbao fly over by itself."

Tang Qingying said disapprovingly, grabbed the steamed bun and stuffed it in the mouth, narrowing her eyes happily.

The small steamed buns steamed from bamboo cages and pine needles are juicy and fragrant, and the finely chopped pork filling under the extremely thin dough is mixed with small white crumbs.

This is the specialty of Xiaolongbao in Zhuyuan Canteen, and there is only one in the surrounding area for several miles.

In Yancheng, they call it horseshoe or water chestnut.

But in Huaijiang, people are more used to calling this thing "Puqiuer".

The delicious and sweet "Puqiuer" mince neutralizes the greasy taste of the meat filling, and there is a touch of pine needles in the mouth, paired with freshly ground soy milk with a strong bean aroma...

Looking at Tang Qingying who was eating deliciously, Xia Zhaoyao felt as if he was hungry again - he had just had breakfast.

This can't work, she has to control her mouth, otherwise the weight next month will definitely be a nightmare.

"Master, it's time for breakfast! Youtiao won't taste good if it's cold——"

Xia Zhao shook his head, raised his head and shouted towards the upper bunk next to Tang Qingying's desk.

Frankly speaking, sometimes she even thought that Zhao Huanxi decided to take her in because she didn't want to go downstairs to buy food.

"Stop shouting—our Master Zhao is calling on the rooftop right now..."

Tang Qingying said vaguely, pointing to the direction of the ceiling.

"You don't know, today is a big day!"

"Uh... big day?"

"That's right, the campus research project - Mr. Zhang called, and the acceptance result seems to have come out."

Tang Qingying took a big mouthful of soy milk and swallowed the bun in her mouth.

"So fast?!" Xia Zhaoyao exclaimed in surprise.

During this period of time, apart from the freshmen group, all their energy was devoted to campus research.

They have traveled to almost every corner of the Huaijiang University campus, and there is almost a G in the pictures and videos alone.

Of course, the return is also quite gratifying.

The next day after the research report was sent out, the initial payment arrived: Well, it was the 5000 yuan that Xia Zhaoyao received.

However, the follow-up content evaluation should be reviewed by the student union, mainly to verify the authenticity of the content and whether there is a huge deviation in the research conclusion.

They don't have to worry about this, according to Zhao Huanxi, it's just a formality.

After all, all the surveys have been conducted on the spot one by one. What really takes time and effort is mainly the opinions of the alumni association:

As the final investor, if the adults feel that there is something to be supplemented and revised in these contents, then they have to make revisions according to the other party's ideas.

Xia Zhaoyao originally thought that he would have to wait for many days, but he didn't expect the feedback to come out after only two or three days.

"Well, it means the process is very fast——"

"It seems that the big shots outside are not so scary."

Tang Qingying said that she squinted her eyes and lay comfortably on the computer chair.

"Student union, entrepreneurial base, alumni association, school... four processes, is this normal?"

"Anyway, at the final acceptance stage, the [-] in the contract is almost stable, and the most is to adjust the details."

"Eh?"

Xia Zhaoyao blinked, and flipped through the contract on the table.

"It says that the final payment will be remitted within three days after acceptance, that is to say..."

"That's right, when Huanxi comes back, we can start discussing dividends and celebrating."

Tang Qingying raised her finger, shaking excitedly and said, her eyes were as happy as a fox's eyes after eating a chicken.

It just so happened that Nintendo had just launched a few games, and she had been coveting them for a long time before, so now she can let go and buy some games.

On the other side, Xia Zhaoyao couldn't restrain his excitement for a while.

The entrustment fee for the Huantang Wanshiwu order is [-].

The seniors had promised her that she would get about half of the money after the money was remitted.

Even after deducting taxes and fees, and the little money Qin Shuo got, she could still get at least [-] yuan.

Xia Zhaoyao calculated carefully:
There are still more than 2 in the WeChat wallet, which adds up to [-] here.

The tuition fee in the registration instructions after the admission letter is [-], and the apartment fee is [-].

If you live frugally, you can control your total expenditure within [-] yuan a year, which is not considered a part-time job.

Well, so...

Xia Zhaoyao thought for a few seconds before opening WeChat on his phone.

"Old Xia, I asked about the finances, and it's not easy for you to directly transfer to my WeChat account."

"And transfer it in batches, it will be difficult to calculate the total amount and interest at that time..."

Xia Zhaoyao paused for a while, then continued editing seriously with his mobile phone in hand.

"In this way, I will transfer back the integers from the previous few times, and when you have collected the money, return it to me."

"My business here is not bad for the time being, at least for a year or two, I'm not in a hurry to spend money."

【￥20000.00 to be collected】

【WeChat Transfer】

call--

Xia Zhaoyao let out a long sigh of relief after entering the password.

In fact, Xia Zhaoyao didn't know how much Lao Xia's company owed.

However, if you think about it carefully, it shouldn't be too outrageous. After all, Lao Xia said that he can pay off the debt after working abroad for a few years.

Even if it's only a little bit, if it adds up, at least it can make Lao Xia come back sooner, right?
As for her...

Xia Zhaoyao glanced at the wallet balance.

¥ 7756.32
Well, at least the tuition is enough.

There is still a [-] bonus that belongs to her in the account of Huantang Wanshiwu.

After the follow-up final payment arrives, she will have more than enough living expenses for the next year.

"Ah, there's never been such a good start—"

Xia Zhaoyao couldn't help sighing softly.

Before the start of school, she managed to scrape together enough tuition and living expenses by chance.

The name of Shan Hai Jing is nothing more than metaphysics, and Huaijiang is obviously her blessed land.

"Sister Tang, let's have a big dinner tonight! Let's celebrate our victory!"

"Absolutely--"

Tang Qingying replied without hesitation.

"Well, I'm going to Dianping to see if there is any big meal... I remember planting a lot of grass before."

"Buffet Japanese food, old hot pot, Chaoshan beef, Thai food, Southeast Asian restaurants... We can choose—"

"—Master Kong Braised Beef Noodles in Braised Beef, in a big bucket, for three people."

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the door.

The two turned their heads following the sound, just in time to see Zhao Huanxi pushing the door and walking in with a gloomy face.

"Or, we also have a set meal for the whole family of the student union."

"Eh?"

"Did something happen?"

Tang Qingying glanced at Zhao Huanxi, who was obviously looking wrong.

"...our research has been dismissed outright...it's a trap."

Zhao Huan raised his phone happily, as if a volcano was about to erupt, and said in a deep voice.

"Teacher Xiao Zhang told us to be mentally prepared, Wanshiwu may even lose money."

"They said that our data was falsified, which seriously violated the reality, and they planned to terminate the contract with us."

"what?!"

"What kind of reason is this?!"
