38: Chapter 38 Zhao Shiyu
Things like petty thugs could never possibly appear near Zhao Shiyu.
The school kept a very close watch and would never allow anyone to disturb Zhao Shiyu's studies.
Therefore, usually, no students dared to go and disturb Zhao Shiyu.
Wang Ming had only seen Zhao Shiyu from afar once before and certainly did not dare to chat with her at such close range.
"Mn."
Zhao Yang also noticed the trembling in Wang Ming's tone.
"Spineless!"
Zhao Yang said to Wang Ming, sounding annoyed.
Wang Ming's face flushed slightly.
"Alright, once you get to school, get yourself settled first, build good relationships with your roommates and such. When the weekend comes, we'll go out for a meal together. How about it? You can take care of yourself, right?"
Zhao Yang asked, looking at Wang Ming seriously.
"Hey, Brother Yang, what are you saying!"
Wang Ming looked at Zhao Yang, annoyed.
"Even though I'm not as mature as you, I've grown up, okay! The money I earned doing business with you, Mom and Dad decided to let me have full control over it! I'm a little tycoon now!"
Wang Ming said proudly to Zhao Yang, his face full of excitement.
Zhao Shiyu, who was reading with her head down nearby, couldn't help but frown slightly upon hearing Wang Ming's words.
She glanced at Zhao Yang and Wang Ming.
Her eyes swept over Zhao Yang and Wang Ming with confusion.
Doing business?
Weren't they students at No. 1 High School just like her?
This thought flashed through Zhao Shiyu's mind, but she didn't dwell on it and continued reading.
Although Zhao Shiyu was somewhat curious about such things, given her personality, she wouldn't pay any attention to them.
"Mn! It's good that you have a plan, but don't spend your money recklessly. Later on, I might be able to help you earn another sum."
Zhao Yang smiled and said to Wang Ming.
"Really???"
Wang Ming's eyes lit up the moment he heard Zhao Yang's words.
He looked at Zhao Yang before him with burning eyes.
"Mn."
Zhao Yang was just about to talk about the stock market.
At this moment, the train whistle blew.
"Let's get on the train first! We'll talk once we're on board!"
Zhao Yang said to Wang Ming.
"Okay!"
Wang Ming nodded.
When boarding the train, as Zhao Shiyu was struggling to climb up while carrying a worn-out suitcase, Zhao Yang subconsciously gave her a lift and pushed it onto the train.
"Thank you."
Zhao Shiyu thanked Zhao Yang softly.
"You're welcome."
Zhao Yang smiled slightly and said to Zhao Shiyu.
Zhao Shiyu nodded.
She dragged her luggage into the carriage.
Zhao Yang and Wang Ming followed behind.
"It seems like we're in the same place as her!"
Wang Ming said to Zhao Yang in a low, excited voice.
"I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence!"
Zhao Yang glanced at Wang Ming and said, sounding annoyed.
"Even if that's the case, so what? Do you dare to talk to her?"
"Hehe."
Wang Ming gave a sheepish laugh.
"Isn't that why I have you, Big Brother! Besides, being in the same cabin as Zhao Shiyu is much better than staying with other people!"
Just as the two were talking, Zhao Shiyu ran into another problem.
She looked at the overhead rack, fell silent for a moment, then laid her suitcase down, intending to shove it under the bed.
But as it happened, her suitcase—who knows what she packed in it—was extremely bulging and got stuck right under the bed.
"Let me help you!"
Zhao Yang had quite a good impression of Zhao Shiyu.
This girl was truly self-reliant, strong, and self-respecting; she was very independent, and her family situation was very poor.
If Zhao Yang remembered correctly, Zhao Shiyu's parents had divorced when she was young, her mother had disappeared without a trace, and her father had died after accidentally falling into a river due to alcoholism.
She had grown up with her Grandfather and Grandmother.
Fortunately, her Grandfather and Grandmother treated her very well, but they were old and didn't have much money, so her economic conditions growing up had been extremely difficult.
Yet, she managed to rely on her own abilities, developing bit by bit, and in her previous life, she eventually reached the level of a top researcher at Huawei.
Asking himself honestly, Zhao Yang admitted that he was not as tough as this little girl, Zhao Shiyu.
If he were in the same situation as Zhao Shiyu, he absolutely could not have reached the same heights as her.
Zhao Shiyu turned her head and looked at Zhao Yang, hesitation showing in her eyes.
But Zhao Yang did not hesitate; he picked up Zhao Shiyu's suitcase.
Heavy!
That was the only thought in Zhao Yang's mind.
Fortunately, during this period, Zhao Yang had been exercising, and his physique had increased a bit, reaching eight points, so he managed to lift Zhao Shiyu's suitcase onto the luggage rack with some effort.
"Thank you."
Zhao Shiyu looked at Zhao Yang and thanked him earnestly.
"Hahaha! We're all classmates, helping each other is the right thing to do. What's there to thank me for?"
Zhao Yang said to Zhao Shiyu with a smile.
Zhao Shiyu opened her mouth, but eventually fell silent.
She was never good with words.
After nodding at Zhao Yang, she took off her shoes and climbed to the top bunk by herself.
Zhao Yang glanced at Zhao Shiyu, then glanced at Wang Ming beside him.
Wang Ming also walked over quickly, looking a bit furtive, and placed his suitcase on the luggage rack.
The tickets Zhao Yang and Wang Ming bought were both for lower berths.
Lower berth tickets weren't easy to buy, especially two lower berths opposite each other.
For this, Wang Ming had specifically found a scalper to buy the tickets.
After getting settled, Wang Ming asked Zhao Yang impatiently, "Brother Yang, how are you going to help me get rich this time!"
Wang Ming looked at Zhao Yang excitedly.
"The stock market has been falling sharply recently; you know about this, right?"
Zhao Yang smiled slightly and said to Wang Ming.
"Could it be that Brother Yang wants to play the stock market???"
Hearing Zhao Yang's words, Wang Ming reacted instantly.
"Mn, that's right. How much money do you have on you right now?"
In the cabin, there were only the two of them, Zhao Yang and Wang Ming, and Zhao Shiyu, who had already laid down on the top bunk.
Zhao Yang was not at all afraid of Zhao Shiyu hearing these things.
Given Zhao Shiyu's personality, she was not the type to gossip; even if she heard it, it wouldn't matter.
"I have about 500,000. I haven't touched the dividend money yet."
"Not bad!"
Zhao Yang smiled and said to Wang Ming.
"No matter how 'not bad' it is, I'm still working for Brother Yang! You're the one taking the lion's share. The profit margin of your other shop is way too high! The clothes are of similar quality, yet you sell them for seven or eight times the price!"
Wang Ming looked at Zhao Yang resentfully.
Zhao Yang smiled slightly.
"Selling at a high price is harder, and although the profit margin is high, the total earnings still don't compare to your shop, so it doesn't mean much!"
Zhao Yang smiled.
"Then that's still a few hundred thousand in earnings a month!"
Wang Ming continued to press.
Zhao Yang smiled slightly and didn't speak.
"Holy crap! Then Brother Yang must have nearly three million in his hands now???"
Wang Ming looked at Zhao Yang, dumbfounded.
"Not that much, just over two million!"
Zhao Yang smiled.
The sound of the two talking might not have been audible elsewhere, but Zhao Shiyu, sleeping on the top bunk, heard it clearly.
Her eyes were full of curiosity as she glanced at Zhao Yang on the lower bunk.
Wasn't he a student?
