Yang Tao’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, and his footsteps subconsciously became lighter.
Ji Shu was saying something.
“… What happened today was too sudden. Both you and Sister Li didn’t even give me any advanced notice–”
Wen Xiao leaned against the wall, took out a cigarette from the pack, and took out a lighter.
When Ji Shu saw this, he changed the topic.
“Hey, Sister Li is still here. Are you smoking already?”
Wen Xiao was extremely frustrated.
“My eyes were almost blinded by those flashing lights. What’s wrong with smoking?”
Shen Li did not argue with him about this today. After all, he had agreed to be the chief coach of LY.
She had to turn a blind eye to the matter of him smoking.
When Ji Shu heard him say this, he immediately expressed some sympathy.
That was true.
It had been ten years since he had faced so many media outlets and been asked so many boring questions. It was normal for him to be a little irritable.
“Go ahead and smoke, go ahead!”
Ji Shu was a smart person. Of course, he knew that Wen Xiao was here to save the day, so he was grateful.
“It’s Coach Wen’s first day on the job. Of course, we have to satisfy such a small request! Sister Li, do you think– Oh!”
Before he could finish his sentence, he was kicked by Wen Xiao.
“You brat, do you have a deathh wish?”
What kind of nonsense was he spouting?
Ji Shu endured the pain.
“You’ve already attended the press conference. Is it wrong to address you as Coach Wen?”
Wen Xiao bit on his cigarette and could not be bothered with him. He turned around to leave.
“Let’s go.”
Yang Tao immediately went forward and called out, “Wen Xiao.”
Wen Xiao turned around to take a look.
“What’s the matter?”
Yang Tao’s gaze lingered on his face for a moment. Of course, the most important thing was that cigarette.
Back in Leland, after the underground car race had ended, only a flattened Red Gold Star cigarette box had been left at the scene.
Due to this matter, he could not understand it no matter how much he thought about it.
That was because he really could not understand why a racing big shot would smoke such a cheap cigarette.
He smiled as he walked forward and said, “When do you think it’ll be convenient for us to sign the contract?”
He was not afraid that Wen Xiao would suddenly run away. After all, Shen Li had personally hired him.
Moreover, Wen Xiao had retired for ten years. Now that he was finally willing to come out of retirement, he must have made this decision only after careful consideration.
However, due to his professional habits, he felt that it would better to sign the contract for insurance.
Shen Li said, “I have already drafted Uncle Wen’s contract and showed it to him. If you and Siyang feel that there is no problem, we can make an appointment to get it signed.”
Orginally, Wen Xiao had not wanted to sign it, but Shen Li had insisted, so he let it go.
Since he had already agreed to be the chief coach of LY, it was not a bad thing to sign the contract.
Yang Tao heaved a sigh of relief.
“That’s good.”
Then, he seemed to unintentionally ask, “By the way, Wen Xiao, the cigarette you’re smoking seems to be a Red Gold Star?”
Wen Xiao raised his eyebrows.
“You smoke too?”
This was a cheap brand. An elite like Yang Tao should not be able to recognize it at a glance.
Yang Tao smiled and said, “I have a friend who likes it. I smoked it once with him and found it to be too strong. I didn’t expect you to smoke this too.”
Wen Xiao nodded but did not really care.
Yang Tao quickly changed the topic and smiled.
“Then we’ll wait for you over at the LY base.”
Wen Xiao waved his hand and turned to leave.
Yang Tao stared at his back as he left.
Ji Shu looked at Shen Li.
“Sister Li, what are you doing this afternoon?”
Shen Li said lazily, “I’m going home.”
…
Shen Li went to her art studio again.
Now that today’s press conference had ended, it could be considered that one of the matters on her mind had been temporarily settled.
The weather was always good in April.
She sat in the studio and looked at the canvas in front of her with a serious and focused expression.
Countless images flashed through her mind.
From her past life, from this life.
Clear and indistinct.
What she wanted to remember, what she wanted to forget.
No one knew how long she had been waiting for today’s press conference.
Now that the dust had finally settled, her heart was finally at ease.
It was the same time, the same event, but it had gone in a different direction.
She left a heavy stroke on the canvas, and the broken mirror on it reflected a mottled shadow.
She finally stopped painting when the sun began to set.
The painting was finally completed.
She looked out of the window. The setting sun looked like molten gold, and half of the sky was dyed with a rich orange-red color.
She looked at it for a long time, until the setting sun hid in the clouds and gradually blurred the lines between light and shadow. Then she withdrew her gaze and looked at the painting in front of her again.
Then, she picked up the pen and wrote a line of words on the back of the canvas.
—— MGYUB.
…
Friday, Advanced Mathematics Class.
Shen Li was solving a question when the phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated.
She took it out to take a look and found that it was Yan Qiu who had tagged her in the chat group.
[@Shen Li. Little Junior Sister! Quickly come and receive the red packet! ]
Shen Li clicked into “601 Eating, Drinking, and Entertainment Seminar Summit”, and saw that Yan Qiu had just sent a red packet.
She clicked to receive it.
Ding-ling– 23.90.
The amount of the packet was big enough for a lunch?
She typed in a line in reply.
[ Thank you, Senior Brother Yan Qiu. ]
Yan Qiu replied with a string of ellipses.
Then, it was Fu Niannian’s turn to receive the red packet.
[ F*ck! 278.10! ? Eldest Senior Brother, have you just made a fortune?! ]
Shen Li was puzzled.
She clicked on it again and realized that Yan Qiu had actually sent a big packet worth 666.
Soon, Tang Yi received his red packet.
[364!!! Eldest Senior Brother, you’re truly my senior brother! ]
Shen Li was speechless.
She finally understood Yan Qiu’s earlier reaction.
At that moment, Fu Niannian and Tang Yi finally noticed Shen Li’s situation.
[ Hahahahaha, Little Junior Sister, your luck is too good! ]
[ Tang Yi, keep your laughter down. It’s making my eyes water. ]
[ Second Senior Brother, do you think I can’t see you laughing just because you’re hiding behind the computer? ]
[ Ahem! I was just wondering if Eldest Senior Brother made a mistake when he sent it. Is it missing a decimal point? ]
Without another word, Yan Qiu sent over a photo.
It was the new issue of Universe, and it was spread out on the table.
On the open page, Yan Qiu’s name was printed on it.
Fu Niannian and Tang Yi were shocked.
[ F*ck! ]
[ Senior Brother, you made it into Universe?! ]
No wonder he had given out such a big red packet!
Yan Qiu sighed.
[ I can finally graduate! ]
Fu Niannian and Tang Yi quieted down.
With such a thesis in hand, Yan Qiu was fully qualified to teach at the top university in the country.
However, the first thing that came to his mind was that he could actually graduate.
He had probably been by Shen Zhijin’s side for too long and had been abused.
After a long while, Fu Niannian could not help but say, “Eldest Senior Brother, don’t get involved. What do you think we should do with such a leader? We won’t be able to graduate in the future. Are you going to help us solve our job situation?”
Yan Qiu was furious.
“This leader was clearly created by Little Junior Sister! Can you blame me?!”
Shen Li was speechless.
Fu Niannian made a special comment to Shen Li.
[ Little Junior Sister Is Awesome! ]
Tang Yi added,[ I have no eyes to see it. JPG ]
Fu Niannian pretended not to see it.
[ Tsk, Little Junior Sister, don’t be sad. Although your red packet is small, you already have a piece of ‘Universe’ in your hands! ]
Yan Qiu sent over another photo.
It was the same issue of ‘Universe’.
The first page, the first article, a familiar name.
– Shen Li.
Yang Tao’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, and his footsteps subconsciously became lighter.
Ji Shu was saying something.
