Chapter 47: Wealth and Prosperity Galore

  Xing Ye and Jia Kai set out early in the morning and returned to Tianyun by noon.

  Everyone else had already eaten lunch, but Mei Yi specially made some more for them. Jia Kai ate while recounting the events of the past two days, naturally omitting the parts related to Zhang Honghai and focusing on his meeting with Hui Ye.

  Xing Ye returned to her normal life after the summer break, but Xu Wen Yuan no longer gave her tutoring lessons. According to Xu Wen Yuan, Xing Ye's grades were now very good and she could get into the key class at Tian Da High School. After the summer break, Xu Wen Yuan also needed to return to his hometown, so he wouldn't be coming back. However, according to Auntie, after the new semester started, Xu Wen Yuan would be transferred to teach high school at the affiliated middle school and become a regular classroom teacher. Although he was just a high school teacher, it was much better than being a university teaching assistant, because with his educational background, it would take more than ten years for him to be converted to a formal university teacher.

  "Hey girl, haven't seen you around for days? You can't be slacking off."

  "Uncle Fat, I had something to attend to in the provincial city, so I haven't been here for a few days."

  Xing Ye still goes to the park for morning exercises with her grandfather, and the fat old man who greets her is the one she thought had the most beautiful posture and imitated his movements behind his back.

  This is also a weird old man. When I practiced for more than two months day and night, at the end of one session, this old fellow suddenly said: "Your breathing is not right, it's too fast."

  The starry night looked around and found that it was talking to itself. So the starry night politely asked, "Old man, how should I practice?"

  But unexpectedly, the old man gave her a glance and said "I don't know, think for yourself." Then he turned around and left.

  Staring at his back in the starry night, that silence is unbearable. Clearly it was you who spoke to me first, so why does it seem like I'm begging you?

  Later, Xing Ye tried to slow down his breathing speed, hoping to keep up with the movements, but he didn't have that kind of natural talent. Not only did his breath not come smoothly, but his movements also became disordered. Xing Ye had the intention to ask for advice from that old man, but after saying a few good words, he only got a few cold glances in return.

  Later, Xīng Yè Gān Cuì didn't consider the rhythm of his movements anymore. His actions were deeply ingrained in his mind, and he could accurately execute a set of Tai Chi moves without thinking. As he practiced, he started reciting English vocabulary, and found that it had an especially good effect. So, Xīng Yè took advantage of his early morning practice sessions to recite English, classical Chinese poetry, laws, and other things.

  That fat old man smiled and said "Not bad, still got some spirit." After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Xing Ye to respond and floated away.

  It was obvious that he was a weird old man, and you couldn't take him seriously. So when they met at night, Xing Ye just called out "Grandpa" as a greeting, without waiting for the old man's response. Because usually people wouldn't even bother with you, occasionally nodding their head if they were in a good mood, that was already giving you face.

  "Hmm, actually don't just wait until morning to practice this once, if you have time usually you can practice and it's beneficial." The fat old man said with a smile.

  Today, the old man took the initiative to greet him, and Xing Ye was honored and surprised. He hastily responded, watching as the old man walked away with a smile. Xing Ye guessed that something big must have happened in the old man's family, making him so happy today.

  The opening day is approaching, and as the vice president of Tiandaxue, Liang Huiru easily transferred Xingye to their university's affiliated middle school, which is now the school that Jialuo attends. It has become a top high school in Tianyun with a very high promotion rate, and of course, the admission standards are also very high.

  However, the opinions of Xing Ye and his grandmother on whether to board or not were divided. Tianjin University Affiliated High School is located in the old city area, and it takes more than an hour by bus from Grandpa's house, which is a bit inconvenient for commuting back and forth. Jia Luo also boards at school, but sometimes he goes back to his parents' place to live. His uncle lives in the municipal committee's residential compound, which is relatively closer.

  But grandma didn't want Xing Ye to board, afraid she wouldn't eat or sleep well, and the dormitory was crowded, making it inconvenient for studying and resting, so it's better if she comes back in the morning and evening, and just eats lunch in the cafeteria at noon.

  Laughing in the starry night, persuading my grandma that I've been boarding since junior high school. Because Luojiashan doesn't have a middle school, you have to go to the county town for middle school. I got used to it early on. The dormitory of the affiliated middle school is not good, but it's better than the dormitory I lived in that winter without even heating!

  Auntie said, then let's live on both sides, come back on weekends, and if grandma wants to during the week, she can also come back or go to their place to live. Also need to consider that the second half of grade 12 will start having evening self-study soon, so coming back every day won't be convenient anymore.

  Jia Kai and Jia Luo scolded their grandmother for being biased. They said that they all went to boarding school in high school, but their grandmother didn't seem to miss them at that time.

  Everyone persuaded, and grandma reluctantly agreed.

  At night, packing up the things to bring to school, it's also very convenient to go back and forth in the city, so there's no need to bring too many things. Daily necessities are simple, one bag is enough. The new backpack hasn't been used yet, but some essential items like stationery and notebooks have already been packed.

  Xing Ye took out the file bag that Jia Kai gave her, thought for a moment and still opened it, carefully reading its contents.

  The records are mostly about that person's study and work experience, very formal things, only the last page recorded some of his family situation with a pen, which should be added later, written very simply and vaguely.

  A few pages of paper were quickly finished in a starry night, and the file folder was quietly placed at the bottom drawer. Then took out another piece of paper from the drawer, it was Kaguya's university admission notice.

  Staring at the admission letter with Hui Ye's name on it, if only we weren't so poor, my brother should already be in his third year of college. He wouldn't have to suffer in prison like this. If he were still alive, would he also bring his girlfriend home during holidays? Dad and mom would definitely be thrilled. But none of these are possible now. None of it was possible from the moment Hui Ye hid that admission letter.

  The more I think about it at night, the more bitter and regretful I feel in my heart. If only I had now what I have now back then...

  An idea flashed through her mind on this starry night, perhaps she could do something about it.

  Xing Ye hadn't paid attention to the stocks she bought for a long time, and when she heard that she wanted to take a look, Jia Kai readily agreed to accompany her.

  "Overnight, you've become a small rich woman," Jia Kai said disbelievingly as he looked at the list his senior had given him.

  The bill was handed over on a starry night, and while the other items were unclear, the amount of money could still be understood. Although I had mentally prepared myself, seeing the numbers that had been flipped several times still shocked me to the point where I gasped in surprise.

  "It's okay!" Jia Kai's senior often mixed in the stock market, and it was nothing unusual to him. "You guys have encountered a rare bull market, almost all stocks are rising, and others' gains are several times higher than this."

  "Wow, this is more profitable than doing any business," Jia Kai exclaimed, "it has increased by several times in just a few months. You are really lucky, Xing Ye."

  Xīn Yè also smiled and said: "You've forgotten the words of Huì Yuǎn Lǎo Hé Shàng, I have good fortune in all aspects, what's this small financial gain compared to that?"

  "What's next for you, little money god?" Jia Kai asked.

  "I suggest not selling, still holding on. The current trend, although not as strong as before, is still an upward trend, which means the bull market has not ended yet! There are still many new buyers entering." Jia Kai gave his professional opinion.

  The temptation is quite great, mainly because the money comes in too quickly. But as the saying goes, "what's abnormal must be a ghost". After thinking about it overnight, "Hmm, forget it!"

  "Why? The situation is so good now." Jia Kai asked in puzzlement.

  Xīn Yè said: "Only the money in your hand is real, if it's just a pile of numbers here, today it may be gone tomorrow, so don't be too greedy."

  Jia Kai's senior thought it was a pity, but couldn't say that Xing Ye was wrong. After being in this line for several years, he had seen people making money and also seen people losing money and jumping off buildings. It was rare to have such insight and not be swayed by temptation. He couldn't help but give Xing Ye a thumbs up, admiring his guts.
