Chapter 357 Choice

That night, Yan Xin did not have dinner with Ai Lili, but went to Feng Chen's place for a meal.

Feng Chen invites guests.

Feng Chen was very happy that his sister got high marks in the college entrance examination and honored his ancestors, so he decided to treat her.

The banquet was not just for Yan Xin alone, but also for the employees of Anye Home Decoration, a total of more than 20 people.

Not in a hotel, but in their home.

——I am short of money and cannot afford to go to a hotel, so I can only buy the ingredients and cook them myself. With a few hundred yuan of ingredients, I can make a sumptuous banquet for more than 20 people.

If you go to a restaurant, it will cost you more.

Yan Xin told Aili about this matter, but he did not take Aili there. The reason he gave was that most of the people who went to eat there were decoration masters, rough people, noisy, and would get drunk after drinking too much.

Drunk and crazy, Ellie is so beautiful, there is no need to join in the fun.

The actual reason is that he doesn't want to appear in front of Feng Chen with Ai Lili, and is afraid that their relationship will be exposed.

Even if the relationship between lovers is not announced, it can be seen in their communication.

It doesn't matter if it is exposed in front of others. Exposing this relationship in front of Feng Chen is purely an act of seeking death.

Ellie originally wanted to follow him, but after hearing what he said, she decided not to.

In her mind, construction workers were very rude. Maybe she would see a group of shirtless old men talking dirty words.

When I thought about them drinking too much and going crazy, it made my headache even worse. It was better not to go - even if they were in the same community.

She could understand Yan Xin attending such a celebration banquet. After all, Yan Xin and Feng Chen jointly opened a company and opened an online store with Feng Xi.

Such a celebration.

At the same time, I am quite envious of Feng Xi’s grades, being able to score so many points.

If she had scored so high in the college entrance examination, she wouldn't have had to study in a crappy school abroad.

Even if it's a hundred points less, it doesn't matter. You don't have to study abroad so hard. You can go to university in China and learn more.

That night, Yan Xin didn't come back until after nine o'clock.

This dinner includes fish, meat, chicken and duck, a combination of meat and vegetables, and it looks quite sumptuous.

But the money actually spent was not that much.

There is also wine, including white ones such as Erguotou, and beer ones such as Snowflake, so you can drink as much as you want.

Feng Chen was very excited that day and explained to everyone many times how awesome his sister was with a score of over 700.

After his explanation, everyone agreed that he had an awesome sister.

This recognition made him very excited, and he got drunk without paying attention.

There was one person at the table who was not so happy, that was Ruan Siyao.

After taking the college entrance examination, Ruan Siyao came to Yangcheng to help her sister look after the store, learn how to do business, and earn some money on the way, which was considered a work-study program.

It is also appropriate to ask others to give money and let your own people do it. You can feel more at ease and pay wages.

Yan Xin has no objection to this either.

Her college entrance examination scores were also released, with a score of 518 in liberal arts.

Of course, this score cannot be said to be low, and I will not be able to go to a good university, but there is still no problem in going to university.

Originally, she was quite happy with this score. It was more than a hundred points higher than her sister's college entrance examination score, and she was considered one of the better ones in the class.

Her goal was not very high to begin with. It was enough to go to college, not necessarily to take a bachelor's degree.

Now it can be considered that I got my wish.

But after learning about Feng Xi's college entrance examination scores, she suddenly felt that life was boring.

She didn't know Feng Xi, but she knew that this person was Feng Chen's sister.

And she is Ruan Mengyao's sister.

The two sisters are the same age and are both preparing for the college entrance examination. There is inevitably a sense of comparison and competition between the two of them.

I had always heard from Feng Chen how excellent Feng Xi was, and it was inevitable that I felt a little unconvinced.

I feel that if a rural girl goes to high school in an economically backward county and receives a relatively backward education, even if she is very talented, how can she compare with the education she receives in a developed area?

But now the college entrance examination scores are out, and their college entrance examination scores have reached an astonishing over 700 points.

This immediately stunned her.

The gap is quite a bit too big.

Although they are not from the same province, there will be some differences in the questions, but the level of performance will not be much different.

If my score is considered excellent, then how should I calculate it if someone else is nearly two hundred points higher than me?

Under the dazzling light of more than 700 points, her joy of getting more than 500 points suddenly disappeared, and she even felt that this score was a bit embarrassing.

At the same time, I was also a little depressed - why did I meet such a monster-level existence?

She is also a younger sister, and she feels that she, as a younger sister, has embarrassed her older sister.

She didn't get into one, let alone a key university like 985 or 211. She couldn't get the rewards promised by Ruan Mengyao, but her sister could get such rewards.

Thinking about it this way, I feel even more depressed.

Ruan Mengyao was quite happy.

Her future sister-in-law is so powerful, she thinks this is a good thing.

Talented people can also help them when they grow up.

If they don't have the ability and can't succeed in their career, they will only focus on their home, and maybe on the assets they have worked so hard to save, and they don't know how much trouble they will have in the future.

From this aspect, she also hopes that this future sister-in-law will be as powerful as possible.

——As long as this kind of power is not directed at her.

Feng Chen would give Feng Xi rewards for borrowing money, and she would support her sister's education if she wanted to, and she hoped that her attitude would receive positive feedback.

She also told her sister in private that although she did not pass the exam, she would be given a reward of 10,000 yuan if she did pass the university.

This money was saved by herself and she would not ask Feng Chen for it.

But Ruan Siyao refused.

If Feng Xi's grades weren't there, she might still be happy to accept it.

After all, it is not easy to get into college.

But there was Feng Xi in front of her. She did so well in the exam that she was ashamed of her performance and embarrassed to accept the reward.

Although she knew that this money was her sister's own savings, she would have to live with Feng Chen in the future. They had been living together for more than a year, and they were already one person, so they could be regarded as two people in common.

The property did not meet the previously agreed standards, so she was really embarrassed to ask for it.

——She doesn’t want to cause more conflicts between her sister and her brother-in-law.

Of course, what's more important is that now her family is rich, and her father is very happy that she is admitted to college, and her tuition and living expenses will not be reduced.

The celebration this time was nominally to celebrate that both Feng Xi and Ruan Siyao had reached the university admission standards, but in fact it could be seen that it was mainly to celebrate Feng Xi.

Ruan Siyao herself was unwilling to mention her achievements because she felt too embarrassed.

It wasn't the score itself that made her feel ashamed, but the comparison.

Feng Chen is the boss of Anye Home Decoration Company. If the boss is happy, the employees will naturally be happy too.

Everyone was in a good mood. Several bottles of liquor were consumed, and several cases of beer were consumed.

There were only three people who didn't drink much in the whole place - Yan Xin and the Ruan sisters.

It’s not that I don’t drink at all, I just don’t drink much, I only drank two or three glasses of beer out of a disposable cup.

Even with Yan Xin's poor drinking capacity, he was not drunk, he just felt a little bit high.

Feng Chen drank a little too much and cried and laughed. He talked about his poor performance in the college entrance examination. He even talked about how he had no hope of repeating the exam and how he wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the river. He said that if Yan Xin hadn't happened to be there that day,

Fishing there stopped him, and he might have been reincarnated by now.

He also said that although his dream was shattered, his sister made it come true for him and he was very happy to have the opportunity to study at the highest university in the country.

None of the employees who had also drunk too much listened to his words, only the Ruan sisters did.

Ruan Siyao asked Yan Xin curiously: "Is what my brother-in-law said true?"

Yan Xin nodded, and then reminded: "This is what he said when he was drunk. If you hear it, just let it go. But don't wait to tell him about it when he is sober. This is not a good memory."

Ruan Siyao smiled and said: "I understand this, this is just to expose his scars."

Then he said: "I didn't expect you to be his savior. No wonder you have such a good relationship and he keeps saying good things about you."

Yan Xin made a haha: "It happened that I was there that day."

Ruan Mengyao saw that Feng Chen was too drunk, so she helped him into the bedroom and let him lie down on the bed to rest.

After coming out, he looked at Yan Xin and suddenly said: "Thank you."

This made Yan Xin feel a little embarrassed and said, "You are too polite."

He didn't leave until the banquet was over.

As soon as I walked out of the door, I sent a message to Ellie: "I have finished eating. If you have finished eating, go downstairs. I will wait for you on the first floor."

When he arrived, Ellie was already waiting for him.

The first thing I did after seeing him was to come over and sniff him, and then said with a smile: "It doesn't look like you're drunk."

She knew that Yan Xin was not a good drinker, and she was worried that others would persuade him to drink and get him drunk when he went to that place, so she still had some worries in her heart.

Yan Xin said: "I told them that my liver was not good and I couldn't drink, so they didn't try to persuade me."

"Is there really something wrong with your liver?" Ellie asked curiously.

"No problem," Yan Xin said, "I have gone to the hospital for physical examination every year in the past two years, and every time I have a special liver examination, and the examination results are all normal."

Then he smiled and said, "I just don't want to drink. I want to give them a reason not to persuade me to drink."

Ai Lili snorted and said, "Then I'm relieved. I thought you really had something wrong with your liver."

But after he finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: "If the liver is really normal, why does he have to check the liver specifically every time?"

This seems a bit unreasonable.

Of course she didn't know that Yan Xin was diagnosed with liver cancer in his previous life, which brought a huge psychological shadow to him, so he paid special attention to his liver in this life.

The liver is normal now, but who knows whether it will develop disease in the future?

He decided to check his liver every year and do the most detailed examination.

No problem is best.

If there are any problems, they can be discovered and solved as soon as possible.

He already has so many assets in this life, and his life will get better and better in the future. He doesn't want to follow the same path of his previous life.

If you get liver cancer like you did in your previous life, what will you do even if you have a fortune worth hundreds of millions?

He doesn't want to work too hard in this life, and insists on exercising every day, which is also due to this consideration.

I went for a walk with Aili, walking around the community twice, and finishing the last circle at a trot.

Then they went to the fitness area and did pull-ups, sit-ups and push-ups. They were sweating profusely. Then the two of them went home, took a shower and went to bed.

During the walk, Aili mentioned Feng Xi several times and expressed her envy for her - she opened an online store when she was in high school, her sales performance was so good, and her business talent was so high. And she did this without hindering her.

Her academic performance is so good.

Simply the epitome of genius.

But every time she started talking, Yan Xin would carefully lead the topic to other aspects.

——Such a topic scares Yan Xin too much, and he is worried that he will accidentally reveal some unspeakable secret.

After many interruptions from him, Ai Lili finally stopped talking about this topic, which made Yan Xin breathe a sigh of relief.

But the next morning, Ai Lili suddenly asked Yan Xin: "What did you dream about last night? I heard you laughing there, which woke me up."

Yan Xin remembered that what he dreamed about last night was to celebrate with Feng Xi that she became the top scorer in the provincial college entrance examination. Apart from that, there seemed to be nothing else.

Maybe I was so happy in my dream that I laughed out loud.

He didn't dare to speak out about this dream, so he could only cover it up: "I remembered, last night I dreamed that I won the first prize of Shuangseqiu."

Ai Lili thought for a moment: "The first prize of Shuangseqiu is only a few million. Does it make you so happy?"

If an ordinary person wins the first prize of Shuangseqiu, he will be overjoyed.

But Yan Xin already has a net worth of hundreds of millions, and he doesn't seem to be that happy if he wins a mere few million in his dream.

Yan Xin continued to compile: "You don't know, I didn't win just one bet, I placed a total of 100 bets, totaling three to four billion, and the prize pool was completely empty."

Ai Lili nodded: "That's no wonder. The first prize for one hundred double-color balls is indeed worth being happy about."

"Isn't it?" Yan Xin said.

Ai Lili thought for a while and then said: "But it's better not to touch this thing. The idea of ​​getting something for nothing is unacceptable. More importantly, the possibility of winning the lottery is too small, so don't indulge in it."

"Don't worry, I just bought it in a dream. I have never bought this thing in reality." Yan Xin said with a smile.

He has indeed never bought anything in his life.

But in his last life, there was a period of time when he bought every issue, each time buying a ten-dollar ticket, choosing by machine, and then dreamed of winning the first prize.

At that time, he calculated that with his efforts and following the normal path, he would only have to work hard for the rest of his life.

Only winning a few million can solve his dilemma and allow him to live a happy life.

In order to maintain this illusory dream, I have to spend more than 100 yuan a month.

During this period, I also won five or ten yuan, but overall I still lost money.

After I got married, I basically stopped buying them.

Some money was wasted, but looking back, that small lottery ticket also gave him more expectations for the future, so that he would not despair of life in a predicament with no end in sight.

Although that expectation is illusory and the possibility of realization is slim, there is still such a dream.

During those years, if I didn’t even have such a dream, I really don’t know if I would have been able to persevere.

This life has the dividend of rebirth, and you can live a better life down-to-earth, so there is no need to place your hopes on illusory things.

Ailili's words reminded Yan Xin of the time when he relied on lottery tickets to maintain the confidence to survive, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

He still didn't go to work that day and rested at home.

Ai Lili went to work, so he could chat with Feng Xi safely and boldly.

We chatted all morning.

But the conversation was not about something ambiguous, but about which university Feng Xi should apply to.

Feng Xi actually prefers universities in the Yangtze River Delta because it is more convenient for her to expand her career.

However, her parents, her brother, and her teachers all hoped that she could choose a university between Qingbei.

You can choose either one of those two universities, but you cannot choose the other.

For her school and her class, it is obviously more honorable for students to study in Qingbei than to go to other schools, and it can also make their brand name louder.

My family also thinks those two universities are better.

When Feng Chen heard that she wanted to go to a university in the Yangtze River Delta, he objected fiercely. He felt that she wasted such high scores and her talent, and asked her to apply for a university in the capital, and only in Qingbei.

Choose between two universities.

This made Feng Xi confused.

If she has already made up her mind, there is nothing to worry about. No matter how much others object, it will be useless.

The problem is that she hasn't made up her mind yet and doesn't know how to choose.

She asked Yan Xin what his opinion was.

Yan Xin chatted with her for a long time and knew that she was also in a dilemma and did not have a clear choice.

So he expressed his position: "Since everyone wants you to go to the capital to study at university, then go to the capital."

Feng Xi: "But the business environment there is not that good, which will affect the company's development."

Yan Xin thought for a while and said to her: "You are only eighteen years old now. There is still a long way to go in the future. There is no need to focus on the past few years. It doesn't matter if your development is not so good in the past few years. When you finish reading

University, you can move the company away. Studying in such the highest university, you will meet geniuses from all over the country, and you will definitely become elites in all walks of life in the future. It can also make your personal relationships better.

All in all, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.”

After he said this, Feng Xi made a decision:

"Okay, I'll listen to you, I'll go to the capital to study."
