Volume 2 High School - The Years of White Clothes Chapter 25

  The Wolf Head Gang in City J was eradicated, and the underworld was in chaos. Ai Zi Qing knew that this opportunity was hard to come by, so she immediately ordered Zhou Yuan to lead a team to go there and take over City J by force. Ai Zi Qing said "Remember, if they don't obey, fight them, and do it quickly."

  Zhou Yuan led the way, taking his men and leaving, while the members of the gang boarded the train in batches to head to J City.

  Immediately afterwards, the handover election kicked off, Zhou Kang was put in prison, and Xu Yandong took over as Secretary of the Liaoning Provincial Party Committee without any suspense. The governor was appointed by Liang Ping, who concurrently served as Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.

  Wang Lele went to her grandmother's house a few days ago and just returned to Yang City. This made Ai Ziqing think of his own grandmother, it has been several months since he was reborn, but he still hasn't gone to see his grandparents.

  Ai Zi Qing's grandparents lived in Ning County on the outskirts of Yang City. In fact, Ning County is a county-level city and will be very developed in a few years. It takes about two hours to drive from Yang City, but Ai Zi Qing's family rarely goes there. Firstly, because her parents are busy with work, secondly, they are not well-off, and going out once would cost money. A family of three is already living a tight life, where is the money to go out? Her mother Jiang Qin's greatest wish was to bring her parents and siblings to the city to live a good life, but in the previous generation, she had worked hard for half her life, only to see the elderly pass away one after another when Ai Zi Qing was 25 years old.

  This life, such a thing will never happen again! Ai Zi Qing made up her mind secretly.

  On Friday, a notice was posted on the school bulletin board: The school will hold a beach party over the weekend, with a total cost of 300 yuan for transportation and accommodation. Sign up voluntarily.

  The classmates suddenly went crazy, frantically running around and telling each other, extremely excited.

  "Zi Qing, are you going to the beach party this weekend?" Wang Lele jumped beside Ai Zi Qing and asked.

  "Go ahead, staying at home is boring too, I think it must be very interesting." Ai Ziying's eyes flashed with white sandy beaches, blue seas, and fragrant roasted meats. Just like every peer, she was secretly looking forward to it.

  "That's great! Everyone has gone, and Su Xi even asked me to ask you, what do you say? Are the two of you...?" Wang Lele said with a sly wink.

  "Get lost, who slept with him?" Ai Zi Qing rolled her eyes and didn't want to bother.

  "Little Yezi, are you going or not?" Wang Lele asked, seeing Ai Ziqing ignoring her, she turned to ask Liu Ye.

  "I won't go, it costs 300 yuan, Mom doesn't have the money to give me." Liu Ye said softly, she also wanted to go on a seaside trip to relax, but her family's economy didn't allow her to have such a luxurious idea.

  "Hey! I'll take care of this. You just go ahead and have fun." Wang Lele said with a nonchalant wave of her hand.

  Willow's eyes widened in surprise, "How can this be? How could I possibly take your money?" As she spoke, she shook her head vigorously, as if to forcefully reject the slightest hint of delight that had arisen in her heart.

  Looking at the willow leaves, Aizi Qing felt a bit uncomfortable and helped to persuade her, saying "We are friends, this little thing doesn't count for much, and our own families, we can change them through our efforts in the future, don't have any burden. When you have the ability that day, who knows, Wang Lele might even ask for your help."

  Wang Lele nodded "Exactly, exactly, our Xiaoye is studying so well, and will definitely have a great future. I'm now considered to be bribing in advance!" This remark was interesting, and the few people all burst out laughing, dispelling the previous gloomy atmosphere.

  Willow's gentle nod, but her heart was moved, knowing that Ai Zi Qing and Wang Le Le said these words were afraid of hurting her self-esteem, otherwise who would ask for help.

  At night, when she returned home, Ai Zi Qing carefully considered and decided to first reveal a part of her career content to her parents, so that her mother could fulfill her wish as soon as possible and not have any lifelong regrets.

  After dinner, the whole family sat on the sofa watching TV. Father Ai Guohua was smoking a cigarette, and mother Jiang Qin was peeling an orange. The TV switched to Liaoning Satellite TV, where the host was introducing in standard Mandarin the shocking case of 109 that had just surfaced. Ai Guohua extinguished his cigarette butt and said with hatred, "These corrupt officials only know how to oppress us ordinary people! Why can they decide our whole life with just one word? We work hard every day, while they indulge in corruption and luxury! They deserve it!"

  Jiang Qian gave him a white eye, swallowed the orange pulp that had just been chewed in her mouth, and said "What's your business? What are you angry about all day!"

  "I'm not angry, am I? Working hard every day, and just because of a leader's word, I was kicked out of the unit! I don't believe you're not angry!" Ai Guohua thought back to all that had happened before and felt extremely indignant.

  "What can we do, it's not like we're better than others? Don't complain about heaven and earth, just do your own thing well, that's the best!" Jiang Qin put the orange on the table and picked up her tea cup to take a sip.

  Ai Guohua said nothing, helplessly nodded and lit another cigarette. This provoked Jiang Qin to nag: "Every day you just know how to smoke! You smoke at home, you smoke outside, you smoke while eating, you smoke while watching TV! Sooner or later your body will be ruined by smoking! What will you use to cure your illness then?"

  Ai Guohua paused for a moment, and said with a smile "I'm an old smoker, you know. People say that those who smoke frequently, if they suddenly quit, their body will collapse easily."

  Jiang Qin was too lazy to argue with him, and continued drinking her tea.

  Ai Zi Qing was about to speak, when the female anchor on TV suddenly said "Next, let's take a look at this news report. Recently, Yang City Yu Shi Xuan Jewelry Company has once again unveiled an ultra-luxurious jadeite, with a Fu Lu Shou bracelet selling for 7 million yuan!"

  Ai Zi Qing's parents were attracted by the sky-high title, staring at the top-quality jadeite being filmed on TV, especially the price tag made Jiang Qin smack her lips repeatedly "If I can wear a pair of bracelets like this in my life, it would be worth living!"

  "Seven million for a pair of bracelets! We ordinary people work hard our whole lives, yet we can't even afford one bracelet that the rich wear!" Ai Guohua also sighed repeatedly.

  "It's actually...not difficult to bring this bracelet." Ai Zi Qing suddenly suppressed her smile and said in a low voice.

  "Huh? What?" Jiang Qin asked casually, her eyes fixed on the crystal-clear jade on TV.

  "What I mean is, this jade belongs to me." Ai Zi Qing chose her words carefully, and couldn't find any other way to embellish such a simple statement.

  A moment of silence

  "That's all for today's news. I'm your host Li Hua, goodbye." The only sound left in the room was the standard Mandarin voice of the TV host.

  "What?" Ai Guohua and Jiang Qin finally reacted, looking at Ai Ziqing with confusion, but they also took it as a joke from Ai Ziqing and didn't take it seriously.

  Ai Zi Qing had no choice but to tell the story of how she and her friends, including Wang Le Le, went on a self-driving tour before school started. On the second day, they ran into Ma Yu Xi while having breakfast, and out of curiosity, they watched him gamble with stones. As luck would have it, he won millions in cash. Afterwards, he pulled Ai Zi Qing into a series of events related to his jade stone business.

  The two parents were more and more shocked as they listened, their mouths eventually wide enough to fit an egg, and it took them a long time to close. Looking at Ai Zi Qing's serious expression, it really didn't seem like a joke, so Ai Guo Hua was the first to react, his voice somewhat changed "Are these all true?"

  "Yes, these are all true." Ai Zi Qing nodded solemnly.

  "You little scamp! Why didn't you say so earlier? You've been hiding it from us and making us worry so much!" Jiang Qin suddenly grabbed Ai Ziying's ear and shouted. Her current mood was complex, both angry at Ai Ziying for keeping secrets and excited like a poor person who had just won the lottery, feeling both annoyed and proud of her daughter.

  "Aiyo, old mom, let go! It hurts!" Ai Zi Qing gritted her teeth and cried out in pain.

  "You dare to get angry with your mom!" Jiang Qin's mouth was merciless, but her hands had already let go and even rubbed Aizi Qing's earlobe, the corners of her mouth curling up even more.

  "Is Ma Yu Xi reliable after all? You won't let him deceive you, will you?" Ai Guohua suddenly frowned and asked.

  "Don't worry, Dad. He's absolutely reliable. Ma Yuxi is a straightforward and righteous person. We've been cooperating for so long, and I'm very confident in him." Later, he briefly introduced Ma Yuxi's story again, and Ai Guohua nodded repeatedly. "As you said, this man is indeed not bad. However, it's always good to be cautious. Your dad doesn't understand business, so I won't be of much help. But since the business has already grown in scale, there shouldn't be any major problems."

  Ai Zi Qing threw out Yu Shi Xuan instead of Jing Tian Group because she didn't want to scare people too much. Jing Tian Group is not just a simple company, but a "black power syndicate". If her parents knew she was the boss of Jing Tian Group, they would be scared. Qing Tian Network has not yet officially made a profit and is still in its promotion period, so even if she said it out loud, her parents wouldn't understand. Shang Di Club is also a subsidiary of Jing Tian Group, but at that time too many people knew it was her who gambled it away, so she could only operate behind the scenes. Now she can only throw out Yu Shi Xuan to make her parents feel at ease.

  "But Dad and Mom, the Jade Stone Pavilion thing isn't suitable for too many people to know about yet. After all, I'm still a high school student, it's too shocking if it gets out." Ai Zi Qing reminded them.

  "Alright, you handle this yourself, we won't say anything." Ai Guohua nodded in agreement. Jiang Qin was already laughing so hard her eyes were invisible "Okay, I'll bring a pair of bracelets back for mom later." After thinking for a moment, she added "Forget it, these expensive things aren't suitable for me to wear, and they might get stolen again!"

  "Mom, a broken armlet, he wants to bring as much as he can, I'll ask him to make a set of jewelry for you later, and you can wear it however you want!" Ai Zi Qing said helplessly, but in her heart, she felt a bit sour about her parents' behavior.
