Chapter 293 Complete Empathy
With Lin Dongzhe's assistance, Zhuang Xiaoting shines even brighter than Zhuang Tunan.
The fact that both siblings from the Zhuang family made it onto the school's honor roll became a widely known story within the education system.
Zhuang Xiaoting didn't have any particular attachment to her major. She didn't object to Zhuang Chaoying's choice and filled out her application according to Zhuang Chaoying's advice.
Lin Dongzhe followed closely behind, with the same aspiration.
When Huang Ling heard that Lin Dongzhe had also applied for the same major as Zhuang Xiaoting, she gave Lin Dongzhe a meaningful look.
I need to keep a close eye on things; there's a petty thief next door.
Huang Ling's own little cabbage had grown up, and the little thief next door had also matured. Huang Ling didn't say anything rash, after all, the neighbor was alright, and she knew him well.
Xiang Pengfei ultimately enrolled in the Urban Construction College. His father, Xiang Dong, and mother, Zhuang Hualin, were adamant: he couldn't return to your district!
We finally managed to send him back to Suzhou. What if the policy changes and he stays in your city after graduation? Wouldn't all our efforts over the years be wasted?
Xiang Pengfei understood their good intentions and decided to fill in the blanks according to their ideas.
By the time Zhuang Tunan returned to Suzhou, he had already received the notification letter.
The Zhuang family grandparents treated their grandson and granddaughter very differently. Zhuang Xiaoting got into a better university, but they never mentioned holding a banquet to celebrate.
Zhuang Xiaoting didn't care. She had known since childhood that her family favored boys over girls, and she had gotten used to it over the years. She wasn't close to him, but she didn't dislike him either.
Lin Dongzhe felt that Xiang Pengfei should have been able to get into a better school, but being in another place and living under someone else's roof still had some impact on him. Otherwise, with his intelligence, he should have been able to go even further.
The result is already quite good, so there's no need to ask for too much.
In mid-August, Zhuang Tunan joined the Suzhou Planning Bureau.
As a new employee, Zhuang Tunan certainly didn't have a house, so he went back home to live.
However, there will definitely be a house available, since the planning bureau is a popular unit, and Suzhou only agreed to accept Zhuang Tunan after considering his academic record.
On August 25th, Zhuang Xiaoting and Lin Dongzhe prepared to head to Shanghai.
Initially, Huang Ling wanted to personally take Zhuang Xiaoting to school, but Zhuang Tunan had just started working and had to work overtime every day, with no time to eat or rest, so Huang Ling wanted to take care of her son. Since Zhuang Xiaoting was with Lin Dongzhe and Wu Shanshan, they ultimately gave up the idea of going to Shanghai.
Huang Ling put on another tearful scene, saying, "Your brother just got assigned back, and you're leaving again."
It was Zhuang Xiaoting's first time going out alone. Apart from a little anticipation, she was filled with anxiety, but she still forced herself to comfort Huang Ling, "Mom, don't worry, Lin Dongzhe and Sister Shanshan are with you, and Shanghai isn't far away. Come to Shanghai to see me when you have time."
Huang Ling nodded and looked at Wu Shanshan beside her, "Shanshan, I'm entrusting Xiaoting to your care."
Wu Shanshan quickly glanced at Lin Dongzhe, "Don't worry, Aunt Huang, I will do my best to take care of Xiaoting."
She could only mutter to herself, fearing she wouldn't be able to stop the evil spirit beside her.
Last time, Song Ying was only a little sad, but this time, Song Ying finally fully empathized with Huang Ling. "Dong Zhe, when you get to Shanghai, give your Grandpa Li a call so we can feel at ease, okay?"
"Don't worry!" Lin Dongzhe reassured the former factory beauty, "It's not like this is my first time going out. Relax."
"Time is running out, don't miss your shift." Zhuang Chaoying was always the most rational person, or, in today's terms, a disappointing parent.
Zhuang Xiaoting gave Huang Ling a final hug, then hugged Song Ying, before getting into Zhuang Chaoying's car.
Lin Wufeng rode his bicycle to take Lin Dongzhe to the station, and Wu Xiaojun rode his bicycle to take Wu Shanshan to the station. The group arrived at the station together.
Lin Wufeng was very disappointed that Lin Dongzhe did not choose mechanical engineering, but economics was also a popular major, so he stopped worrying about it and patted Lin Dongzhe on the shoulder, saying, "Take care of yourself and Xiaoting too."
Lin Dongzhe patted Lin Wufeng on the shoulder in return, and then they put their arms around each other's shoulders. "Don't worry about me. Let's go, Shanshan, Xiaoting!"
There was still some fluctuation; Lin Dongzhe even forgot that he should call her 'Sister Shanshan'.
Zhuang Xiaoting waved to Zhuang Chaoying, "Dad, I'm leaving."
Zhuang Chaoying nodded.
The three of them carried their own luggage and walked to the car.
Seeing that Zhuang Xiaoting was carrying too many things, Lin Dongzhe even helped her carry one more item.
Wu Shanshan secretly rolled her eyes.
In the afternoon, the three arrived at the Shanghai Bus Station.
To Zhuang Xiaoting's surprise, there were people waiting to pick her up at Shanghai Station.
"Xiaoting, right? I'm your brother's classmate, my name is Li Jia. I know Lin Dongzhe and Wu Shanshan."
Zhuang Xiaoting blinked, somewhat confused. Why didn't she know her brother's classmates, but she knew all the neighbors?
Wu Shanshan linked arms with Li Jia, "Have you been waiting long?"
Li Jia glanced at Lin Dongzhe before warmly greeting Wu Shanshan, "No, I just arrived recently."
Zhuang Xiaoting and Lin Dongzhe are both freshmen and need to complete the enrollment procedures before they can have a dormitory, so the three of them decided to send the two freshmen to the school first.
After arriving at Fudan University by bus and settling Zhuang Xiaoting in, I went to Lin Dongzhe's dormitory.
Lin Dongzhe's roommates were all very curious about what made him so special that he had two beautiful older sisters.
In the evening, Lin Dongzhe found a reasonably clean restaurant, and the four of them had their first meal together in Shanghai.
While waiting for the food, I made a phone call from the convenience store outside to Li Yiming's house at the alley entrance. A few minutes later, Huang Ling and Song Ying came over, and I let them know I was safe for three minutes before hanging up.
Wu Shanshan was somewhat disheartened. "When I first came to Shanghai that year, my dad never asked about my safety."
Li Jia and Wu Shanshan were already quite familiar with each other. Li Jia patted Wu Shanshan on the back and said, "Some things are beyond your control, like the family you're born into. Nobody can decide that. But you can make your own decisions about the future, and that's enough."
In terms of fathers, the two are somewhat similar. Wu Shanshan was comforted by Li Jia in just a few words. "Sister Jia, you're right!"
At this moment, Lin Dongzhe returned with Zhuang Xiaoting, and Wu Shanshan and Li Jia tacitly kept quiet about what had just happened.
The atmosphere at the meal was somewhat strange.
The main source is Zhuang Xiaoting.
She didn't know why these two women were so familiar with each other, and the way they looked at Lin Dongzhe was strange.
It felt like he was back before the college entrance exam, when Lin Dongzhe was surrounded by little girls everywhere.
After finishing their meal, Lin Dongzhe took the three girls home one by one. Although it was Shanghai, chaos was the same everywhere.
The next day, Lin Dongzhe started making money.
Although the financial market is still in its early stages, it has indeed begun.
Although there are faster ways to make money, such as speculating on treasury bonds, they are quite risky. Lin Dongzhe has various plans and there is no need to take that risk.
You might earn money slowly at first, but it's much higher than the wages in a cotton mill, and it's non-toxic and has no side effects!
