Chapter 19 Hello Everyone
“Lao Gao, I haven’t seen you for a long time. Your hairstyle looks more handsome now.”

Xu Mingyuan knocked on the door and walked in, put the bag he was carrying on the desk, pulled a chair from the side and sat down.

Gao Dexiang had a stern face. How dare this brat mention it? It was he who spread the nickname of Mediterranean in the class, and he hasn’t been held accountable yet.

Glancing down, I saw two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes and two cans of premium tea in the bag. The price must be quite high.

Gao Dexiang’s expression improved a little now, but he still said in a pretentious tone, “You still remember to come to school?”

“Hey, isn’t this a sick leave? I don’t want to stay at home either. It’s meaningless.”

“You don’t want to come yet? I see you’re tired of staying at home and don’t want to come.”

“How could that be possible? Teacher Gao, you don’t know. The hospital had already issued me a critical illness notice. I was just a little bit away from death, just a little bit away, and I was gone.”

Xu Mingyuan gestured, “If you don’t believe me, I’ll show you the prescription from the hospital.”

“Have you reviewed everything I asked you to review at home? Let me test you.”

Gao Dexiang did not give a direct answer, but just pulled out a paper.

“Hey, that’s not necessary. Don’t worry, Mr. Gao. If I don’t study well, I won’t take the college entrance examination. I will definitely not lower the admission rate of our class.”

Xu Mingyuan quickly refused.

If he were given a test paper to do, he would be considered to have a lot of multiple-choice questions if he could score 20 points.

Fortunately, Gao Dexiang didn’t have time to test him, so he just glanced at him and let him go.

At that time, Xu Mingyuan’s father asked Gao Dexiang for leave. The severity of the situation had been told to him. He was also shocked and was afraid that the child would be gone.

Teachers can generally remember two types of students. One is naturally the students who study very well, and the other is students like Xu Mingyuan.

Xu Mingyuan cannot be said to be naughty, but he is definitely not easy to manage, which gives him, the class teacher, a lot of headaches.

When Gao Dexiang was just in the first year of high school and had not yet taken over Class 7, he heard that a student named Xu Mingyuan led the boarding students to make a fuss because of the water outage after 10 o’clock in the evening, and finally forced the school to continue to cut off the water supply at night.

Later, the cafeteria issue was also the same. Although it was initiated by other classes, when I heard students in my own class mention Xu Mingyuan’s name, I knew there was something fishy.

As long as it doesn’t concern his class, Gao Dexiang will definitely stay out of it, but he also made a warning in private.

Having such a student is definitely a headache for the teacher, but Xu Mingyuan’s academic performance is also okay. He has always been ranked in the top 20 in the class, so he should have no problem getting into college.

Gao Dexiang believed that as long as Xu Mingyuan could study hard, he should have no problem getting into the top five in the class and had a chance of getting into a key university, but he just didn’t focus all his attention on studying.

Gao Dexiang didn’t understand. He thought Xu Mingyuan, who was a decent student, might now be at the bottom of the grade.

He also raised some questions about study. Seeing that Xu Mingyuan listened seriously and with a respectful attitude, it seemed that he had taken his words into consideration.

Gao Dexiang nodded with satisfaction, and when he saw a teacher coming in, he calmly put the gift under the desk.

“Okay, go to class first, and remember to put on your school uniform for lunch.”

“Teacher Gao, please write me a note and I will move my things back to the dormitory. I will apply for a day student status from now on.”

“Your home is not close to the school, right? Why do you want to go to school as a day student?”

“Well, there are always bugs biting people in the dormitory, and no one comes to clean it. I think I can sleep better at home, and maybe I can make further progress in my studies.”

Living at home is naturally much better than living in a dormitory. It doesn’t take long to take a taxi to get there. Besides, Xiao Yangzhi is a timid child and doesn’t dare to live alone at home.

Xiao Yangzhi mentioned to Xu Mingyuan several times that it would be inconvenient to wash clothes if he lived in school, and he would have to squeeze into the cafeteria in the morning, etc.

With little Yangzhi’s cleverness, Xu Mingyuan naturally understood her hint, but he didn’t point it out clearly. He just followed her words and decided to go to school as a day student. This little thing made her happy for the whole day.

After finding his bed from the dormitory manager, Xu Mingyuan found a blue-black school uniform and left the rest of his stuff in the dormitory. He asked his roommates to divide up the useful stuff and helped throw away the useless stuff.

The school uniform is a little dirty. It has been stored for a long time and has a bit of a sour smell.

But Xu Mingyuan still put on the school uniform and looked at himself in the mirror for more than ten minutes.

Youth is standing in front of the mirror, so unreal.

Xu Mingyuan felt an indescribable emotion from the bottom of his heart and felt a little emotional.

He calmly soaked the school uniform in the basin, added soap and rubbed it twice, then threw it back into the basin and returned to his nature.

Washing woolen clothes is a waste of time.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Mingyuan went to the business hall to apply for dial-up Internet access and bought a washing machine at the same time.

There was nothing to do on Tuesday, but Xu Mingyuan still stayed at home for a day, thinking about whether there were any omissions and remotely monitoring the progress of the software promotion.

To be honest, Xu Mingyuan was shocked.

When he first started doing this, Xu Mingyuan just wanted to make a few hundred thousand and then stop, but in just over half a month, Xu Mingyuan’s account already exceeded one million.

Even after deducting all expenses, I can still get at least 500,000.

The speed of the Internet is no joke. Although it is not as fast as real estate, the cost is really too low.

“You must stop within six months.”

Xu Mingyuan made a decision and would not change it. 03 was a relatively important year. In July of that year, SARS was declared over, and the real economy ushered in a new round of rapid development. The A-share market, which had been dormant for more than two years, also saw a rebound.

Real estate is actually half a financial industry, and Xu Mingyuan has quite a bit of knowledge in this area. This year is still a bear market, but there will always be a few stocks that emerge as a dark horse.

For example, aluminum, iron, and communications all began to grow and develop in 03. Maotai, which had been dormant for many years and then soared to the sky, also put all its efforts at this time.

There may be some errors in Xu Mingyuan’s memory, but the trajectory of historical development will not change. These companies have bright future prospects. As long as you buy famous companies, you will definitely not lose money.

It is important not to put all your eggs in one basket. Even if you don’t make money, you should have a way out.

After leaving enough money for expenses, Xu Mingyuan poured all the money in his account into the stock market, spreading it across several companies and making a medium- to long-term investment.

For nearly a year to come, Xu Mingyuan will rarely take any other action. After all, the college entrance examination is imminent and he doesn’t have much time.

Enjoy your life again and make up for your past regrets.

This is Xu Mingyuan’s dream.

Early on Wednesday morning, Xu Mingyuan got up and washed.

When Xiao Yangzhi saw Xu Mingyuan got up so early, she was stunned for a moment, then realized that he also had to go to school, so she took her toiletries and went to the kitchen.

“Brother, what do you want to eat? I’ll go out and buy some.”

“No, let’s go out to eat.”

Xu Mingyuan touched her soft hair, put his arm around her shoulder and walked out the door.

It’s midway through September and the mornings in Nanxi City are a little cool.

Because Xiao Yangzhi got up early, Xu Mingyuan took a taxi and was one of the first students to arrive at school.

At that time, No. 3 Middle School was still in the old campus, which was a four-story building with a towering white birch tree planted in the middle.

Later, No. 3 Middle School moved to a new campus. The birch tree was still planted here and was planned into a small park. From time to time, students from No. 3 Middle School come here to visit and sigh about the youthful years of the past.

Xu Mingyuan also came to see it once. The white birch at this time and it in the future did not change much. The only thing that changed was Xu Mingyuan.

I walked forward and touched the outline of the birch trunk, feeling the tingling sensation between my fingers.

“Hey! Which class are you in? Don’t you know you’re not allowed to touch me?”

A delicate shout interrupted Xu Mingyuan’s thoughts and made him withdraw his hand.

The student union girl wearing an armband looked at Xu Ming unfriendlyly and warned him to stay away from the tree.

What a bullshit sentiment, it’s all bullshit.

Xu Mingyuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, so he had to leave in embarrassment.

“Classmate, where am I sitting?”

Xu Mingyuan asked a girl who arrived earlier than him.

“there.”

It seemed that the girl didn’t get along well with Xu Mingyuan. She pointed to a location and then ignored him.

“Thank you.”

Xu Mingyuan thanked him and walked to the back row.

The girl turned around in surprise and saw Xu Mingyuan walking silently towards the corner, and she became a little curious.

Xu Mingyuan wasn’t so polite before.

Xu Mingyuan hadn’t been here for more than two months, and the teacher didn’t assign him a seat, but just put all his books on the table. After such a long absence, his books, paper, and pens were all put together, no more, no less.

Xu Mingyuan is quite popular and has a small circle of friends in the class, and it seems that they are looking after him.

I picked up a book at random, sat down and started reading slowly.

The noise in the class became louder and no one noticed Xu Mingyuan sitting in the corner.

Then someone exclaimed.

“Xu Mingyuan!”

“Fuck! Xiaoyuan? Where is he?”

“Here! I’m sitting right here.”

Several classmates ran over.

“Hello everyone.”

Xu Mingyuan, whose attention was interrupted, came back to his senses and waved to several people with a smile.
