Chapter 342: Too Many Girlfriends is Troublesome

Noon.

When Xia Jiji and Xia Mimi returned home from school, Su Mingzhe and Xia Te were still fiddling with the oil paintings.

Seeing that Su Mingzhe had not left yet, the two girls came over happily and wanted to continue chatting with him for a while.

Fortunately, Xia Jiji was gentle and virtuous. She remembered that she was the host and Su Mingzhe was the guest. She took a sneak peek and asked her father:

"Dad, is Brother Su having lunch at home today?"

"Um, yes, Jiji, go to the restaurant next door and book a table for the banquet."

Xia Te recalled that the last time Su Mingzhe came over, it was home-cooked meals prepared by his own daughter, without even a single meat dish.

No matter what, we can't be so shabby this time.

After hearing this, Xia Jiji was about to take the money and leave.

Su Mingzhe quickly stopped her:
"Teacher Xia, let's go out to eat together. It's the middle of the day, and it's too troublesome to let a girl like Ji Ji run back and forth at this time."

By this time, it was already January 05.

Haicheng also has a port, and its economic development is quite good compared with that of the inland areas.

With more people, there are naturally more hotels and restaurants.

However, it was the lunch rush hour, and when Xia Jiji went out to buy food, no restaurant would serve food quickly except for the braised food shop.

When Xia Te heard Su Mingzhe's words, he found they made sense, so he did not refute them.

So, Su Mingzhe drove and took the three members of the Xia family to a restaurant with pretty good decoration.

Four people ordered six dishes and two soups, all of which were staple dishes and not expensive. Without the wine, it was less than two hundred yuan.

That's the advantage of a small place, the food is affordable.

Because it was the lunch rush hour, the food was naturally not served quickly.

The usual practice in restaurants is to serve two dishes first and let the guests eat.

Su Mingzhe and Xia Te talked while eating.

Xia Jiji and Xia Mimi had to go to school, so they just asked for rice. After they finished eating, they were "driven" away by Xia Te.

These two girls have no idea how to behave themselves, and both pairs of eyes are on Su Mingzhe.

Although Su Mingzhe is handsome, talented, and rich, his daughter shouldn't be so unreserved, right?

After the two Xia sisters left, Su Mingzhe and Xia Te continued to communicate.

By the time Su Mingzhe and Xia Te finished their meal and returned to Xia's house, it was already past three in the afternoon.

Su Mingzhe called the company in the morning and ordered a container truck from Dongshan Island to help transport the oil paintings back.

The driver arrived at four in the afternoon.

After the three men loaded the oil painting into the car, the driver drove off directly. It was not yet five o'clock.

Su Mingzhe and Xia Te began to sit in the living room and calculate the price this time.

"Teacher Xia, I'll take advantage of you for these paintings. I'll take them for 10,000 yuan each. How about that?"

"Xiao Su, you are not taking advantage of me, I am taking advantage of you."

Chater is not a fool, his oil painting skills are just average.

If these oil paintings were not hyped up according to Su Mingzhe's routine, they would not be sold at all.

"Then it's settled."

Su Mingzhe doesn't like to dither. The total price is less than three million, so why make so much trouble?

After discussing oil painting, Su Mingzhe turned the topic back to ink painting.

"Teacher Xia, according to the price we agreed on before, I gave you 200,000 for each of the 54 paintings last time. With the two paintings you have now, minus the more than 200,000 you paid last time, I need to give you another 11 million. With the money for the oil paintings, our contract will be 14 million. How about that?"

"Xiao Su, just do as you say."

When Xia Te saw that Su Mingzhe took out real money instead of just empty words to fool him, he was so excited that his cheeks and hands couldn't help shaking, and tears kept flowing in his eyes.

Looking back, half a year ago, the school asked the teacher to undergo a physical examination and unexpectedly discovered that he had a terminal illness.

At that time, I was already disheartened.

If I had died immediately at that time, I would have died with my eyes open.

Fortunately, there is always a way out.

The emergence of Su Mingzhe not only made his talent recognized by society.

Now, he can also leave a generous inheritance to his two daughters.

In this way, even if I die tomorrow, I will die without any regrets.

At half past five, it was almost dark.

Sisters Xia Jiji and Xia Mimi returned home from school.

At this time, Xia Te had already signed a new contract with Su Mingzhe, and they could transfer the money as soon as the bank opened tomorrow.

Seeing her daughter come home, the first thing she did was to greet Su Mingzhe.

If it was in the morning, Xia Te would probably be depressed to death.

However, now Su Mingzhe took out 14 million real money to buy his own work.

Xia Te also regarded Su Mingzhe as his own Zhong Ziqi and his own mentor.

Therefore, Xia Te was not so disgusted when his two daughters became closer to Su Mingzhe.

After all, his eldest daughter was already fifteen years old and his youngest daughter was thirteen.

In the past, girls of this age should have been talking about marriage.

We had dinner at Xia's house.

During dinner, Xia Te did not stop his two daughters from chatting with Su Mingzhe.

After dinner, Su Mingzhe taught Xia Mimi how to play the piano for a while.

It was past eight o'clock in the evening when Su Mingzhe finally said goodbye.

the next day.

Su Mingzhe came early again. Xia Jiji and Xia Mimi chatted with Su Mingzhe for a few words and then went to school.

The bank is not open at this time.

Xia Te suppressed his excitement and chatted with Su Mingzhe for a while at home.

Before I knew it, it was nine o'clock.

Su Mingzhe then took Xia Te to the bank and went through the transfer procedures.

It was just past ten o'clock when we finished the work.

Su Mingzhe really couldn't find a reason, so he continued to dawdle until noon, and had to say goodbye and leave. Xia Jiji and her sister got out of school at noon, and they didn't see Su Mingzhe, and they were disappointed for a while.

Fortunately, Chat told them that the family already had money.

From then on, Xia Jiji no longer had to use homemade earthen pigments when painting oil paintings. He could just go to the market and buy the best pigments.

Xia Mimi has played the old piano for many years and it’s time for her to retire.

Chater not only planned to buy a new piano, but also to hire a musician to teach her.

Xia Jiji and Xia Mimi admired and loved Su Mingzhe, who had changed their family's predicament.

Unfortunately, Su Mingzhe has already returned to Yanjing.

When Su Mingzhe returned to Yanjing, he suddenly slapped his forehead, feeling that he had done something stupid.

"Damn it, why should I leave a ball number for this girl Xia Jiji?"

Su Mingzhe looked annoyed:
"Originally, I had to deal with three women, Li Bala, Jiang Jiao, and Tang Yun. I didn't have much time to do research on weekdays. Now that Xia Jiji has her own ball, I have to waste a lot of time again."

It's annoying.

But the ball number had already been given, and Su Mingzhe could do nothing about regretting it. It was all his fault for being blinded by lust.

Within two days, Xia Te bought a computer for Xia Jiji and installed an Internet cable at home.

That night, Xia Jiji added Su Mingzhe's ball number.

Su Mingzhe applied for his number relatively early, and it is an eight-digit number.

The new account number that Xia Jiji applied for is in the nine digits.

Su Mingzhe accepted Xia Jiji's friend request:
"Piaoyao, this is a good name."

"Well, I particularly like the song 'Floating'."

"Mrs. Zhou's voice is a little hoarse, but her 'smoky voice' singing "Piaoyao" is really effective. This 'smoky voice' makes the song more sad and lyrical."

"What is smoke throat?"

"Smokey's voice is..."

Su Mingzhe chatted with Xia Jiji online for a while, and then reminded her not to be addicted to the Internet and to study hard.

Xia Jiji is also very well-behaved. He said that in addition to being online on weekends, he would also be online for an hour every night on time, and would study hard at other times.

The subtext of this statement is that Xia Jiji told the man her Internet time, and if Su Mingzhe is interested, he should spend time with her chatting and surfing during this period of time.

Su Mingzhe thought about it and could only respond vaguely.

More than half a month followed.

Su Mingzhe was accompanying Li Bala, Jiang Jiao and Tang Yun in Yanjing, and chatting with Xia Jiji online. He was busy 24 hours a day.

I feel unhappy if there are fewer women, but it would be a real problem if there were too many of them.

Towards the end of the month, the school has final exams.

Only then did Su Mingzhe return to Dongshan Island.

I haven't seen you for more than a month, and I miss my teachers and classmates at school very much.

Before New Year's Day, the charity auction house sponsored by Dongshan Group had revenue of more than 20 million yuan.

In the eyes of classmates and teachers, these donations were all donated by Su Mingzhe, the boss of Dongshan Group.

The news reports outside only remain hot for a few days, and then new news will cover it.

However, on Dongshan Island, the population is small, and news related to the local area will remain popular.

Before, when Su Mingzhe donated two computer rooms to the school, everyone's feeling towards Su Mingzhe was mainly "admiration".

After all, one hundred and fifty computers may seem like a lot, but if everyone works hard, they can make that much money.

But now, for an ordinary person, this 20 million is a sum of money that they cannot earn in a lifetime.

As a result, Su Mingzhe donated it so lightly.

Everyone's impression of him suddenly jumped from "worship" to the level of "belief".

"Boss, please take my knee off!"

A group of classmates said to Su Mingzhe half-jokingly and half-seriously:
"We will follow you from now on!"

"Okay, when you graduate from college and can't find a direction to work towards, come find me."

Su Mingzhe was joking with these classmates whom he had not met very often.

Soon, the teacher walked into the examination room with the test paper.

The classmates hurried back to their seats and sat down. Only Utah, who was sitting behind Su Mingzhe, continued to chat with Su Mingzhe in a low voice.

Su Mingzhe is the first in the school, and You He is the second in the school.

Examination seats are arranged according to grades.

So, Su Mingzhe sat in the first seat in the front left, and Youta sat behind him.

Su Mingzhe suddenly felt someone was staring at him. He turned around and saw the other person quickly lowering his head.

What the hell is going on?

How can a grown man behave like a girl, lowering his head and being shy?

"Utah, is this a new classmate?"

You He followed Su Mingzhe's gaze, nodded, and introduced:

"Well, the one who just returned from Shanghai to take the college entrance examination is called Xu Yi."

"Xu Yi? He is Xu Yi."

Su Mingzhe looked at Xu Yi who was lowering his head, then looked at Zhang Yang who had a gloomy face, and felt a little sad.

In the novel, the Xu family is considered a prominent local family, and family members are either businessmen or officials.

Xu Yi's father Xu Ruiyang was in love, but his mother did not accept it. So when Xu Yi's mother was pregnant with Xu Yi, she found a buyer.

Later, after Xu Ruiyang's mother passed away, he found Xu Yi and his mother and took them back to the Xu family.

In order to avoid being laughed at, the man who took over the business found an orphan to adopt from an orphanage. The orphan was Zhang Yang.

The story that the scapegoat told Zhang Yang was a completely different one.

It is said that Zhang Yang's mother despised the poor and loved the rich, so after giving birth to Zhang Yang, she remarried to Xu Yi's father.

As a result, Zhang Yang began to hate his biological mother, and even more so his biological mother's stepson Xu Yi who had taken away his mother's love.

The story in the movie is similar to the novel.

However, in the movie, it was not Zhang Yang and his son who went to Shanghai, but Xu Ruiyang and his family of three.

Before taking the college entrance examination, Xu Yi returned to his hometown to take the exam, which triggered a series of stories.
