Rebirth of the Rich Second Generation's Growth Diary

Chapter 139 Half a year has passed, Xiaohe goes to college! [Part ]

After the winter vacation, time flies.

In the second semester, the freshmen's clear eyes gradually faded and they began to become smarter.

I am no longer curious about everything, nor am I respectful to everyone. The so-called seniors are sometimes called "the sophomore" or "the junior" in the mouths of some people.

A more obvious change is that in the second semester of my freshman year, I could clearly feel that the frequency of activities had decreased a lot.

Because everyone has discovered that many activities are meaningless, and once people are fooled, it is difficult to organize people.

For Li Xu, none of this matters.

This semester, the main theme of his life is still studying hard.

Every day, I go to class if I have one and listen to those teachers with dazzling halos.

Many teachers use original English when teaching. In this process, Li Xu's oral English ability has been further improved.

When he doesn't have classes, Li Xu will try his best to hang out in the library and absorb professional knowledge like a sponge.

The more I learn and see, the clearer my understanding of my own bankruptcy in my previous life becomes.

At least he has now realized that what seems to be bankruptcy caused by investment failure can actually be achieved in many ways by artificial manipulation.

It’s just that I didn’t understand these things in my previous life, so I didn’t pay much attention to many details and clues. Now I can’t remember them, so I can’t come to any further conclusions.

However, the past is the past after all, and Li Xu naturally would not study with the purpose of finding out what happened in his previous life.

In addition to studying, Li Xu also takes a lot of time to do physical exercise, which is also necessary.

After all, whether it is studying or living, you need good physical strength to support it.

Li Xu always finds time to swim, wrestle, and run, all of which are sports that An Duoduo is good at.

The sports facilities provided by Peking University and Tsinghua University are excellent, and Li Xu often exercises with An Duoduo.

But in comparison, Li Xu still prefers playing basketball.

Perhaps it was because his body developed further after entering college, or perhaps it was because of the effect of long-term exercise, Li Xu, who already had long arms and legs, had further improved his jumping ability.

In the hierarchical world of the Peking University and Tsinghua University basketball circles, Li Xu is well-known as the "rebounding maniac" in his level.

All in all, for Li Xu, life in the second semester of his freshman year was monotonous but fulfilling.

Except for the occasional time when he was driving that AMG to work and was seen by some girls, who spread rumors about his identity as a rich second-generation, most of the time he was just an ordinary college student at Peking University or Tsinghua University.

In comparison, his friends who were also college students seemed to be living much more exciting lives than he was.

In his second semester of freshman year, Ye Ruida participated in a computer algorithm design competition and won first place.

Among those he defeated, there were even many graduate students from the same school, which made him famous in the school's computer circle.

Even some seniors in their third and fourth years would admiringly call Ye Ruida "big brother" when they saw him.

In addition, Tang Qiaoning and Chen Feiyang were not idle either.

In the second semester of their sophomore year, the two of them, one investing and the other coming up with ideas and management, started a dry cleaning project.

It's a pity that after a period of rapid development, it finally lost a lot of money and had to stop.

It’s good to have money, you can try and make mistakes like crazy.

Some people make mistakes many times and gradually find the trick, and perhaps they can succeed, but Li Xu feels that at least Chen Feiyang is not cut out for it.

A person who knows how to do business will not start showing his business talent until he wants to start a business one day.

As early as when he was very young, this talent was already showing in various aspects.

Of course, it is not ruled out that he became enlightened late, but Li Xu felt that if Chen Feiyang wanted to become enlightened, he would probably have to be reborn again.

An Duoduo was also not idle during her freshman year. She participated in the Universiade with the school swimming team.

Compared to her invincibility in high school, where she could win gold medals in any competition, in this level of competition, even if she wanted to win a medal, it was very difficult.

But despite this, throughout her freshman year, An Duoduo only won a bronze medal at the Universiade, and won silver medals in several other competitions, which was already a remarkable performance.

Everyone’s freshman year was very meaningful. Time passed quickly, a summer passed, and Xia Xiaohe finally faced the college entrance examination.

……

It was September, and an autumn rain had just fallen. The weather was clear and the campus was filled with moisture.

A casual breeze blows by, making people feel cool.

Shen Mobai was standing at the intersection, waiting for Li Xu to come over.

He looked at the time and saw that there were still ten minutes until the agreed time.

Li Xu is never late. If he says it's nine o'clock, he will definitely arrive here before eight fifty-five.

This is the pattern Shen Mobai figured out after interacting with Li Xu for a long time.

Li Xu is used to arriving five minutes earlier than the agreed time, and in order to arrive earlier than Li Xu, Shen Mobai has to get used to arriving ten minutes earlier.

Because the person who arrives early will appear more respectful to the other person, and Li Xu deserves this respect.

Not long after, Li Xu appeared at the intersection.

He was wearing a gray sweatshirt today, black sweatpants and sneakers. It was simple but gave people a comfortable feeling.

Li Xu recently cut his hair and has a refreshing flat head.

Some people are like this. Even if they have a flat head, it doesn't affect their handsomeness at all.

Shen Mobai was a little envious. After all, no one doesn't want to look better.

Li Xu walked up to Shen Mobai and smiled: "How long have you been here?"

Shen Mobai said, "I just arrived too." Today is the day to welcome new students. Li Xu said he needed a helper, so he called Shen Mobai, and Shen Mobai was also happy to help Li Xu.

Li Xu began to explain: "Our main task today is to pick up a schoolmate from my high school. Girls are bound to carry a lot of things, so we definitely need help moving them."

Shen Mobai nodded: "Well, you can arrange it."

The two of them walked towards the school gate together.

Li Xu made two phone calls, and Xia Xiaohe was already in a taxi, about to arrive at the school gate.

It was her uncle who brought her here, and Xia Xiaomiao also came with her.

The reason why he is his uncle is because his uncle once worked in the capital and is relatively familiar with the place.

Li Xu and Shen Mobai arrived at the school gate early. While waiting for Xia Xiaohe to come over, Li Xu casually brought up the topic of chatting with him and asked, "How was your summer vacation?"

Shen Mobai nodded and said, "Not bad." He smiled bitterly and said, "You know the situation of my family."

Li Xu was silent for a moment. What Shen Mobai was referring to was that their family was in debt. Li Xu knew about this last semester.

Shen Mobai has such a high talent in finance, not only because he has a high IQ and is very interested in this matter, but also an important reason is that he has been exposed to these things for a long time since junior high school.

The fundamental reason is because of his father's affairs.

Shen Mobai's father was the director of a credit union. When Shen Mobai was in junior high school, his father was punished for issuing loans that became bad debts and were classified as non-performing loans. He was demoted to an ordinary employee. The family, which had once been quite well-off, was suddenly cast into a shadow.

Shen Mobai's father was a very stubborn man. From that time on, he constantly reminded Shen Mobai to be aware of risks and be sensitive to numbers. Shen Mobai himself was very interested in finance. He had been helping his father design family debt restructuring plans since junior high school. Furthermore, in high school, he managed the accounts of the school drama club and even found evidence of the club president embezzling public funds.

The reason why Li Xu knew these things so clearly was because Shen Mobai had asked him for help last semester.

His father had an opportunity to make a comeback and compete for the position of deputy director. All the conditions were met, but he did not have any high-quality loan business to show off, which meant he did not have enough confidence.

Li Xu's father's company had ample cash flow, making it a high-quality client in the eyes of countless banks. To help Shen Mobai's father, Li Xu personally went to his father to ask for his help. Honestly, while his father's company was partially financed through loans, for a company of his size, the loans were all contracted with several large state-owned banks in the province. The presidents of those major banks had close ties with his father, and their interests were closely tied to his father. Whether it was personal connections, interest rates, or funding costs, the credit union where Shen Mobai's father worked had no merit, especially considering this was a multi-provincial project.

But at that time, Li Yuqian just pondered for a moment and asked, "Is that classmate named Shen Mobai very important to you?" Li Xu was silent for a moment and said, "Very important." His father hung up the phone.

Not long after, his father used his connections to find a very good company in the province where Shen Mobai's father lived and signed a big contract with him.

Shen Mobai naturally knew the value of this favor. At least in a sense, it was something he could not repay in the past ten years, even though he was in the top university in the country.

Although Shen Mobai's father successfully ran for the position of deputy director, there is still a long way to go before resolving the family debt crisis, which is why Shen Mobai said that.

Li Xu smiled and said, "The road ahead is tortuous, but the prospects are bright. Your father has become a deputy director again, and you are studying at Peking University and Tsinghua University. It won't be long before your family's debt is repaid."

Shen Mobai smiled and nodded, saying, "I think so too." He rarely said thank you to Li Xu. He knew that verbal thanks were not as good as expressing gratitude through actions. He already knew that Li Xu would definitely achieve great things in the future. No matter what he did, the team would always need someone like him. His future direction and goal became clear: to become the person Li Xu needed.

The two didn't have to wait long at the school gate before they picked up Xia Xiaohe, who came in a taxi.

Xia Xiaomiao, who had come with Xia Xiaohe, had grown considerably taller. He looked around the century-old prestigious school curiously, and after a moment, he sighed, "The school gate is a little worse than I imagined."

Xia Xiaomiao asked Li Xu excitedly, "Is Brother Ye Ruida here?"

Li Xu casually responded: "Didn't you ask him yourself?"

Xia Xiaomiao shook her head and said, "I sent him a message but he didn't reply."

Li Xucai said, "Look, you care so much about your big brother Ye Ruida, but he doesn't care about you at all. He went abroad. Didn't he tell you before he went abroad? There was a foreign forum that specially invited him to attend, and he wanted to communicate with some foreign geniuses."

Xia Xiaomiao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something and quickly said, "Brother Li Xu, don't get me wrong, in my heart you are my number one brother." His face flushed red.

This caused Xia Xiaohe next to him to burst out laughing.

However, this was the first time Li Xu met the brother and sister's uncle.

It can be seen that although this middle-aged man, who used to often go to other provinces to work, has seen the prosperity of the city and has seen the world in a sense, he still feels cramped and uneasy at the gates of Peking University and Tsinghua University.

Xia Xiaohe smiled at her uncle with some heartache and said, "Uncle, I will study here from now on. Come with me to see my school."

Xia Xiaohe's uncle showed an honest smile. When he was about to step into the school gate, he hesitated for a moment, stomped his feet lightly, and shook off a lot of dust on the soles of his shoes. Then he stepped into the university with some nervousness.

Li Xu and Shen Mobai silently helped Xia Xiaohe share some of the luggage. Li Xu pulled Xia Xiaohe's suitcase and took her around the school, introducing her to the things on campus. Xia Xiaohe nodded from time to time, and the light in her eyes grew brighter and brighter.

When she reached the dormitory door, Xia Xiaohe closed her eyes slightly, and a crystal tear slid down from the corner of her eye. Then she opened her eyes, smiled from the bottom of her heart, and gently wiped away the tear with her fingertips.

Then he smiled shyly at Li Xu and said timidly: "I'm sorry, I'm just a little excited. I really didn't expect that I would actually become a part of this place."

Li Xu chuckled and said, "It's okay. I was just like you when I first got here. I cried even more exaggeratedly than you."

Xia Xiaomiao asked curiously, "Brother Li Xu, you cry too?"

Li Xu knocked on Xia Xiaomiao's head.

My uncle and Xia Xiaomiao didn't stay too long, as they had to catch the afternoon train back.

By the time everyone left, it was already evening.

Li Xu continued to take Xia Xiaohe to wander aimlessly around the school. Originally, Li Xu wanted to call a few other friends over to get to know Xia Xiaohe and have a meal together, but unfortunately, An Duoduo went to the competition, Ye Ruida went abroad, and Tang Qiaoning and Chen Feiyang were busy dealing with the bankruptcy of their entrepreneurial project.

The two of them walked slowly into the pavilion next to the artificial lake.

Li Xu casually pointed across the lake and said, "Do you see that willow embankment? In a little while, when the street lights come on, we'll stand here and peek across. You'll see a lot of couples kissing."

Li Xu knew that Xia Xiaohe was a shy and simple girl, and even a sentence like this might make her blush.

Li Xu turned his head, and as expected, Xia Xiaohe was looking over there curiously, with a faint pink on her cheeks.

Li Xu continued to tease, "Isn't it romantic to fall in love in a place like this? Look, it's quiet and dark here, no one is paying attention, hehe."

But what Li Xu didn't expect was that Xia Xiaohe thought about it, shook her head seriously and said, "At noon today at the university gate, there were people coming and going: parents, students, teachers, in short, there were all kinds of people at the gate. It would be romantic for a couple to kiss there."

Li Xu's expression froze slightly, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Xia Xiaohe blankly, "Ah?"

Did she think so?

ps: I worked overtime for a long time tonight. When I came back in the evening, I didn’t have time to finish writing a whole chapter. I could only update 4,000 words and split one chapter into two chapters. I apologize to everyone here!
