Chapter 5 Li Xu's Father

For Li Xu, today is a fulfilling day.

He didn't interact with other students in the class and just buried his head in memorizing English words.

After not touching a book for a long time, it takes a little time to get back on track of studying.

At the end of the day, I still feel some pain.

Memorizing words is indeed not an easy task.

I remembered it at the time, but when I looked back at it after a while, I found that I had forgotten it again.

It's acceptable once or twice, but if it happens too often it will inevitably drive people crazy.

Fortunately, in his previous life, the life he spent in the few years before his rebirth had already tempered his character and made him patient.

There were some words that he found he had forgotten by the time school was over, but he didn't get too upset. He just smiled helplessly, thinking that there were still two full days left, so he cheered up and worked hard to get them done.

It’s just junior high school English!

After giving himself some mental preparation, he prepared to go back.

Although I stayed here for three months in my previous life, looking at the students here, I always felt that they were from a different world from me. Although there were a few friends who I had been hanging out with for two or three months, I couldn't call them close friends.

So far in this life, he has been a loner.

Li Xu lives in Ye Ling's apartment.

But Ye Ling did not live in the school dormitory.

The school's conditions were limited, and Ye Ling was a volunteer teacher. The dormitory initially arranged for her was to live with several female students. This was really outrageous. Even though Ye Ling had a good personality, she could not accept it.

So at the beginning, Ye Ling stayed in the only hotel in the village at her own expense for a while.

Later, Li Xu's father found out about it and used his connections to call people here, and arranged an unused apartment for her to live in at the township government.

Of course, another reason is that Li Xu's father wanted to arrange for Li Xu to come and study with the school, but he didn't even have a place to live, so it was definitely not possible.

Although this small apartment is not large, it is a two-bedroom apartment.

Li Xu returned home, sat on the sofa, rested for a while, and then took out his mobile phone.

After hesitating for a moment, he entered a string of numbers and dialed.

This was the first time he called this number after his rebirth.

It's his father's.

He hadn't figured out how to face his father in the past few days.

That emotion is hard to describe.

Looking back on his experiences in his previous life, he was not a good son.

But his father is definitely a good father.

Perhaps the educational methods were not done well enough and he was not put on the right path.

But his father gave him all he could.

Even though he ended up in that situation, his father was absolutely worthy of him!

He felt an indescribable guilt in his heart, a guilt that prevented him from even having the courage to call in the two days after his rebirth.

After a few beeps, the call was connected.

The man's low voice came from the other end of the phone. When Li Xu heard the familiar yet distant voice in his memory, his hands trembled slightly and he almost dropped the phone.

"Hello?" The man's voice was full of energy.

When Li Xu heard this, his nose felt sore.

He also didn't expect that his father, who was so strong and in his prime, and the mountain that he thought would never fall, suddenly disappeared.

And now my father is really full of vitality.

"what happened?"

"Nothing... nothing." Li Xu's voice trembled involuntarily.

For a moment, Li Xu's thoughts were confused and he didn't know what to say.

Just hearing his father's voice made him happy.

We never know how to cherish many things until we lose them.

Li Xu's father is called Li Yuqian. If the male protagonist of a cool novel has a template, his father must be worthy of that template.

He started from scratch and founded a huge business group, which, at its peak, affected the livelihoods of tens of thousands of employees.

Although he cannot be considered a person who can influence the economic landscape, he is still a powerful figure in the area.

After rebirth, Li Xu never thought about doing anything based on his so-called grasp of the future trends in his previous life, because he knew very well that at his father's level, the so-called reborn person had no advantages.

What the reborn person sees are just one or two waves, while the surfer himself is part of the wave.

A lot of so-called news is already old news to them.

By predicting some things, you may be able to gain some advantages in making some decisions, but steering the ship is not something you can do well just by knowing where the waves are and where the undercurrents are.

Li Xu hopes that in this life he can become a truly qualified helmsman. This requires the ability to truly work from the ground up.

The so-called information gap is false. Only real ability is the most real reliance for keeping what his father left him in the future.

Take his previous life for example, he was later plotted against for no apparent reason, but he couldn't figure out how the other party did it, even though he had experienced it once.

This is also the original intention of his determination to concentrate on studying in this life.

The father on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then sighed: "I see. Don't forget our three-month agreement."

Li Xu was stunned. What did he know?

Before he could ask, the phone was hung up.

A moment later, he saw a text message on his phone.

"Your account has completed the transfer transaction, RMB + 10000, and the current balance is: 13404.08 yuan."

For a moment, Li Xu felt mixed emotions.

It seems that my hesitation made him misunderstand.

His father has always been like this, not good at communicating with his son and always using money to love him.

But after a moment, I figured it out.

His original purpose of making this call was to formally tell his father that he would not drop out of school.

But at this time his mind changed. If he told his father so early, he might think he was running away.

What we should really do is to make real achievements in these three months, and then surprise him with the scores of an exam.

Thinking of that scene, a smile appeared on Li Xu's lips.

Although there was no real communication with his father on the phone, and only the boring five-digit number was received, Li Xu felt like he had been injected with chicken blood, and his heart was filled with fighting spirit.

He took out his English book, turned to the short passage and read aloud.

……

The secretary said respectfully to Li Yuqian, "Chairman, the money has been transferred to him."

Li Yuqian nodded and stared at the photo of him and his son when they were infants in front of the desk. He was still very young in the photo, carrying his son on his shoulders, and both of them were smiling happily.

He sighed slightly, and suddenly muttered to himself, as if questioning: "Will it be of any use if I arrange for him to go to the countryside?"

The secretary thought for a moment before tentatively saying, "I believe he will understand your good intentions."

Li Yuqian was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "Forget it, I won't think too much about it. If this brat really can't succeed, then forget it. I, Li Yuqian, built this kingdom so that my descendants won't have to suffer anymore. As long as nothing unexpected happens to me, in ten years at most, that brat will be able to live off his wealth for two or three lifetimes!"

The secretary quickly said, "Chairman, what kind of accident could happen to you?"

Li Yuqian added to his secretary: "Of course, don't let him hear this."

The secretary nodded repeatedly: "Of course."

"Let's not talk about that brat. Have you arranged the meeting with Jielong Company tomorrow?"

"It's arranged, Chairman. The specific itinerary is as follows..."

……

Ye Ling worked overtime a little late today because she had to prepare for the exam paper on Thursday.

She made up all the questions herself.

The educational resources of this school are so backward that, to be frank, none of the few English teachers in the entire junior high school even have a decent pronunciation.

Their teaching philosophy is very outdated, and the test papers they use are just those in the teaching supplementary books.

It was not until late at night that Ye Ling prepared to go back.

After going downstairs and leaving the teaching building, it was pitch black in front of me. There was not even a street light, as if the whole world was stained with thick ink.

The surroundings were unusually quiet. The wind blew through the grass by the roadside, making a rustling sound. Occasionally, the barking of dogs from somewhere could be heard, and these sounds were infinitely amplified in the empty night.

Ye Ling's heart began to beat fast. She took a deep breath and encouraged herself...

It’s nothing, just a few hundred meters away.

However, even though I thought this way, I still felt a little regretful. I really shouldn't have worked overtime alone until this point.

While thinking this, I walked to the school gate in the dark. There was no one in the guard room and the lights were not on.

At this moment, a ray of light suddenly appeared before my eyes.

Li Xu was seen standing at the school gate, holding a flashlight in his hand, shining the light at Ye Ling's feet.

Ye Ling was stunned. "Li Xu?"

Li Xu smiled and said, "I saw that you hadn't come back yet, so I came to look for you."

Ye Ling's eyes flickered, revealing her inner restlessness, but it was dark at night and her expression could not be seen clearly.

Ye Ling slowly walked to Li Xu's side and said, "I'm an adult, what could happen? Am I still afraid of the dark?"

But after a pause, Ye Ling lowered her head and whispered, "Humph, you're thoughtful, kid."
