Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 43 I have a friend...

Xu Chen, Li Rui and Fang Tao ran all the way back to school.

When I arrived at the school gate, I saw Zhao Feng and two other younger brothers squatting in the flower bed at the gate smoking.

Seeing Xu Chen and others coming, Zhao Feng and the other two stood up and hurried to greet them.

Zhao Feng was anxious, but he didn't know how to start. He moved his lips and said with a stutter:

"How...how is it?"

Li Rui calmed his breath and said with a smile:
"With Brother Chen here, everything will be done."

Zhao Feng: "Still on?"

Li Rui smiled and said, "Yes."

Zhao Feng glared at Xu Chen, threw his cigarette butt on the ground, and said:

"Brother Chen! I, Zhao Feng, can't speak. Anyway, from now on, Brother Chen's affairs are my, Zhao Feng's affairs!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Rui, Fang Tao and others standing by also looked earnest.

Xu Chen smiled, not knowing how to respond.

Zhao Feng added: "Brother Bing is back, but I haven't told her anything yet."

"oh?!"

Xu Chen asked, "Is she okay?"

Zhao Feng: “It looks like nothing happened.

Brother Bing came back at noon and went back to the classroom without saying a word."

Xu Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Xie Bingran had returned to school safely.

He turned to Li Rui and said:
"Let's just follow what we just discussed. We can say that the money was raised by the brothers together."

As he spoke, he took out the loan contract with Xie Bingran's name on it from his arms and handed it to Li Rui.

"Just give it to her."

Li Rui hesitated: "Brother Chen...why don't you go and give it to him?"

Xu Chen: “Take it.”

Li Rui was stunned for a moment, but still took it obediently:

"Okay...then I'll listen to Brother Chen."

Xu Chen looked at the people in front of him and suddenly said:

"What do you usually smoke?"

Li Rui and Zhao Feng were both stunned, not knowing why Xu Chen suddenly asked this.

Li Rui: "Brother Chen, why are you asking this? We smoke all kinds of cigarettes. We are not picky."

He dug into his pocket and pulled out half a pack of cigarettes.

Xu Chen took a look and saw that it was a box of Red Baxi, which was also one of the cheaper cigarettes that sold well locally.

"Come with me!"

As he spoke, Xu Chen walked towards a small supermarket opposite the school.

Li Rui, Zhao Feng and others looked at each other in confusion, but still hurried to follow.

……

In the supermarket, Xu Chen bought four large boxes of instant noodles, two boxes of sausages, and six packs of Double Happiness cigarettes.

The chubby boss was extremely happy. He never expected that the high school student in front of him was actually a big customer.

With a smile on his face, he dragged his fat body and piled several boxes in front of Xu Chen, then took out six Red Double Happiness cigarettes from the counter.

Xu Chen paid the money and turned to Li Rui and others and said:

“Move to the dormitory and divide it among you brothers.

If it's gone in two days, come back and find me."

Li Rui and Zhao Feng looked at each other, both somewhat confused about the situation.

Li Rui paused and said, "Brother Chen, what does this mean?"

Xu Chen:

“You guys have collected all the living expenses, food money, and cigarette money for me.

Since we said we were pooling money together to help Brother Bing pay off his debts, I can’t return the money to you.

It's not even the middle of the month yet, don't you guys want to eat and smoke?"

Li Rui, Zhao Feng and others were stunned, their expressions somewhat moved.

Li Rui was stunned for a while before he spoke:

"Brother Chen...

We called you Brother Chen before because of Brother Bing.

But from now on we will call you Brother Chen, because we really treat you as our brother!"

Xu Chen smiled and said, "There are so many of you, split up and move the things. I have to go to class!"

Having said that, Xu Chen did not linger any longer, turned around and walked quickly towards the school gate. Li Rui and others looked at Xu Chen's back, their expressions were still somewhat complicated.

Zhao Feng blinked and said in a low voice:

"What a damn righteous man!
When I first heard Brother Bing say that he liked him, I didn’t understand.

Now I know that behind my righteous brother Bing, there is another righteous brother Chen..."

……

Xu Chen ran back to the classroom as the bell rang.

This section is a Chinese class.

The head teacher Zhang Liqun was standing on the podium. He turned around and saw Xu Chen rushing in. Behind his large brown glasses was a cold and displeased look.

Xu Chen smiled foolishly and quickly walked back to his seat.

“Thursday and Friday are the actual simulations for the college entrance examination.

You must take it seriously and treat it like a training exercise for the college entrance examination! ..."

Zhang Liqun stood on the podium and gave another passionate mobilization speech for the mock exam.

Xu Chen was too lazy to listen to his meaningless chatter, so he opened the Chinese test paper and started reading it.

Xu Chen has accumulated some good materials for the college entrance examination essay topic.

During the mock exam this week, I will see if I can apply it in my composition and treat it as an exercise.

……

During the break, Xu Chen was about to go to the toilet, but was called to the corridor by his homeroom teacher Zhang Liqun.

"I was almost late for class this afternoon. Did I hang out with those street urchins again?!"

"Xu Chen, I've told you so many times that I have high hopes for you. Don't let your teacher down!"

"The college entrance examination is less than three months away. You must stay away from those street urchins, especially that Xie Bingran..."

It’s the same old story. Zhang Liqun started to talk with his hands behind his back.

Xu Chen listened in silence, feeling a little annoyed.

Fortunately, there are only ten minutes between classes, which leaves little time for the head teacher to perform.

After criticizing him, Zhang Liqun adjusted his brown glasses, coughed softly, and said:
"Is the URL you gave me for submission accurate?"

Xu Chen blinked and sneered in his heart.

That's what I was asking.

I was speechless...

If you have something to ask, just ask directly. Why do you have to scold me first? !

"That's right. I submitted my manuscript to those two email addresses. Why are you asking this, Mr. Zhang?"

"I have a friend..."

"Oh...I see!"

"Well... after you submit your article, how long does it take to get a reply?"

Xu Chen scratched his head and said:

"I don't think I will necessarily reply, after all, there are so many submissions."

Zhang Liqun: “Is that so…”

Behind the brown glasses, his small eyes flashed a hint of loss.

Xu Chen: "But we can still wait for a week. After all, it takes time for the leaders to review it."

Zhang Liqun: “Really?”

Xu Chen: "Teacher Zhang often teaches us that gold will always shine! You get what you sow... We just need to work hard and leave the rest to fate!"

Zhang Liqun: "Yes! Well said!"

Xu Chen: "I think if I submit more, I should have a better chance of success!"

Zhang Liqun: “Is this still possible?!”

Xu Chen: “Yes, I submitted more than ten manuscripts at that time!”

Zhang Liqun smiled, with a glimmer of hope in his little eyes.

The bell for class suddenly rang, and the students in the corridor rushed back to the classroom.

Zhang Liqun waved his hand, Xu Chen smiled, turned and walked into the classroom.

Xu Chen returned to his seat, and Chen Dahai asked curiously:

"What did the old bald man say to you?"

Xu Chen said:

"He probably won't come to watch over me during the evening self-study sessions in the next few days."

Chen Dahai: “???”
