When the next morning, Jiang Yaoting chatted with Jiang Banxia for more than an hour, even missing morning reading, Jiang Banxia knew that her plan had failed.
She didn't hear a word of what dad said because she wasn't in a relationship to begin with.
It's just that Li Yang meant something different to her.
Arriving at school, it was already seven fifty, and she had breakfast at home.
Liu Dayou was present, so she couldn't say anything, and after the first class ended, she decisively borrowed Wu Tianqi's phone.
Wu Tianqi, that guy, couldn't resist at all, even lent out something as private as his phone.
Using Wu Tianqi's QQ, Jiang Banxia sent a message to Li Yang.
Every time after class, she would open QQ to check the questions Li Yang sent over, and then she would find a corner and send a long string of voice messages.
Or simply remind him which page the corresponding example questions could be found.
By noon, she directly packed up her desk and textbooks, and with those textbooks, came to the very back row, where Li Yang used to sit.
Liu Dayou saw her and talked with her for a while again.
Her reason was simple: the back row was spacious, and Li Yang's chair was comfortable to sit on, more suitable for thinking.
In the past two days, she found out Li Yang skipped class and happened to be preparing to do a set of difficult questions, so she ran to Li Yang's seat, only to find Li Yang unexpectedly returned.
The direct result of this incident was Wu Tianqi was forced to study seriously.
The phone was always being held by Jiang Banxia, so he couldn't chat with netizens, nor could he secretly read NBA news. If he didn't read some books, he'd go crazy.
He really couldn't refuse Jiang Banxia.
Always saying "thanks" when returning the phone, saying "sorry for the trouble" when borrowing the phone...
He dared to say over the school's PA system that no one could refuse Jiang Banxia.
Not to mention Jiang Banxia even invited him to lunch in the canteen at noon.
When Jiang Banxia asked if he needed the phone, he had only one choice.
"Hehe, no need, use it as you wish."
Then one could see the smile on Jiang Banxia's face.
That evening, he returned to the dormitory and showed his perverted side.
He was sneakily reading the chat logs between Jiang Banxia and Li Yang.
Opened them and was dumbfounded.
All of it was questions!
Usually, the chat started with Jiang Banxia identifying herself, like: "Li Yang, I'm Jiang Banxia."
The next day, it was still the same.
Wu Tianqi felt his eyesight had improved a lot, indeed playing on phones harms the eyes.
That night, he again flipped through the chat logs between Li Yang and Jiang Banxia.
Today, there was a slight change, Jiang Banxia's opening was different.
"It's me, Jiang Banxia."
After identifying herself, the two immediately started doing questions again.
The question types were so complex, Jiang Banxia's voice messages were so many.
Apart from her voice being truly pleasant, he didn't understand a word.
On the third day, Jiang Banxia's greeting changed again.
"It's me."
The fourth day arrived, coincidentally a Saturday, and the elite class didn't have night study sessions.
Wu Tianqi felt embarrassed to ask Jiang Banxia for the phone, decisively chose to run to Li Yang's dormitory at noon.
He wanted to let Li Yang go to the basketball court at four in the afternoon to grab a spot.
Otherwise, given how their class teacher dragged lessons, going to the basketball court, they wouldn't have time to cut in line.
Anyway, Li Yang wasn't attending class now, naturally a good hand at grabbing spots.
As soon as he entered Li Yang's dormitory, he saw Li Yang sitting on the lower bunk, leaning over a square stool, scribbling away.
"Fellow Daoist Li, what are you doing? You don't want to live, huh? Stop! Stop!"
Li Yang didn't even lift his head as he asked: "What are you here for?"
"Four o'clock this afternoon, go grab a board, don't let anyone cut in line, just say someone's already there."
"Not going! I freaking want to study!"
This time, Wu Tianqi didn't dare to say 'study my ass' to Li Yang because from the chat logs he spied on, Li Yang was indeed serious.
"One little moment won't hurt, play some basketball for exercise... don't wear your body out..."
"Stop yapping, talk after the college entrance exam."
Wu Tianqi got angry immediately: "Fellow Daoist, with your talent, casually studying and getting into a second-tier university surely isn't a problem, why push so hard?"
"..."
Li Yang ignored him.
Wu Tianqi watched for a while and said: "You wouldn't be wanting to aim for a first-tier university, would you?"
Li Yang still didn't respond.
Wu Tianqi sat down by the bed and said: "Fellow Daoist, listen to a word of advice, a second-tier university will do, we can't take this kind of grievance. I know you want to pursue Jiang Banxia, but Jiang Banxia is destined for Qingbei, no matter how hard we try, we won't even come close. For someone like Jiang Banxia, loving her is already quite good, isn't it?"
Li Yang paused his actions and said: "What if I get into Qingbei?"
"Oh, what if I'm Daniel Wu then?"
Wu Tianqi responded with something absolutely impossible.
Li Yang continued burying his head in writing.
Wu Tianqi really couldn't hold back and asked: "Is it for Jiang Banxia?"
"No, it's for that 280,000 yuan prize."
"Haha, then you're screwed."
"Hmm?"
Li Yang glanced at Wu Tianqi, and Wu Tianqi said: "There's not much prize money this year, at most just eighty thousand yuan."
"What's going on?"
Li Yang had already planned out the 280,000, and now he's suddenly told there's none?
Eighty thousand is indeed still barely acceptable but severely impacts his life plans.
It was 2014, and the big bull market was about to launch.
In his past life, as a backend developer, he didn't know how many data inputs he made to perfect quantitative programs.
Those small market movements were numerous and chaotic, the brain couldn't retain them, but the upcoming big bull market's data in the following year, he still knew plenty.
Not to mention on the internet, speaking of this year's bull market was everywhere, subconsciously memorizing quite a lot.
His target was to earn a few million to give himself something to rely on in this life.
If there's only eighty thousand capital, it's too much of a blow to him.
Wu Tianqi said: "The president of Green Water Group suddenly passed away, didn't leave a will even upon dying, plus the Green Water Group shares themselves are complicated, considered a family business, now they are openly and covertly fighting for power, the whole company is a mess, the five thousand donation promised to the school freaking took a month to ask for without given, how could they possibly reward twenty thousand like before."
Li Yang's mind went blank, and thanks to Wu Tianqi's mention, he immediately recalled a very important thing.
Which was also told to him by Wu Tianqi, but in the last life.
Wu Tianqi said he had an aunt who treated him very well and was the daughter of the richest man. If nothing unexpected happened, he certainly could have joined Green Water Group as a junior manager.
And his aunt was drowned before and after the college entrance exam.
She was the first in line to inherit the richest man's legacy, if she was still present, Green Water Group might not have withheld the money.
So... his 200,000 yuan prize was about to be drowned?
He said: "I remember your family is somehow related to the richest man's family? He passed away and you're not feeling a bit sad?"
Wu Tianqi dismissively said: "Sad my ass, don't even know how many generations of kinship apart, they don't fancy my family."
"Really? But I once heard you say, the richest man's daughter is your aunt and you have a good relationship."
Wu Tianqi immediately jumped up: "Damn, I told you even that secret?"
