Adored by Him: My Blissful Days as the Girl Next Door-Chapter 92 - 91: For Xiaoxiao 66 He’s Jade + Update 3

After the winter vacation and the start of the new semester, Zhao Meimei was completely entangled by the terrifying countdown to the high school entrance exam. At the moment when she almost suffocated, she finally staggered out of the exam room.

Outside the school gate stood her parents with excited expressions, and for the first time in her life, Zhao Meimei experienced what it meant to feel a weight lifted off her shoulders.

Released from the cage, Zhao Meimei returned home, had a big meal, watched TV programs like crazy for an afternoon, and slept in lazily for one night. The next noon, she greeted her mom, took some money, and took a bus to her Brother Yangyang’s company.

After half a year of hard work, with no rest and relentless business hustle, Shi Yang and Qu Chaozong finally managed to open a small gap in the software development market that was just starting to gain recognition in the city.

When the bright future was just beginning to show, Shi Yang received a call from a client he had dealt with before in the provincial capital, who clearly inquired if he was interested in creating websites.

After a detailed discussion with the client, Shi Yang took Qu Chaozong to the provincial capital overnight the next day by chartered car.

After a two-day, one-night trip to the provincial capital, as Qu Chaozong put it, Shi Yang fell ill, the man went crazy, and his thinking patterns completely deviated from ordinary people.

While others were twists and turns, his was a straight path with two words engraved at the top: crazy.

When Zhao Meimei pushed open the glass door of Shi Yang’s company, Qu Chaozong was spitting words at crazy Shi: "Now that the software development is just starting to make progress, we have five orders in hand, which you just started working on. Where do you get the energy and funds to invest?"

With a cigarette in his mouth, crazy Shi’s neat white teeth left a ring of indentations on the cigarette, with blue and white smoke billowing out from his nose like a chimney, he answered unclearly: "That’s why you need to work overtime and complete the tasks, no more taking on new orders!"

Qu Chaozong, exasperated: "No more orders!! No more orders, we’re all going to starve! We haven’t even recouped last year’s losses and this year’s investment yet!"

Crazy Shi snorted through his nose with a puff of thick smoke: "That’s why we need to switch to website development."

Qu Chaozong slapped his own shiny bald head and reproached sorrowfully: "I boarded your damn pirate ship! Wrong person!"

Just then, Zhao Meimei barged in, with Qu Chaozong wailing, she dashed to Shi Yang’s desk and rudely snatched the half-smoked cigarette from Brother Yangyang’s mouth, shouting in a voice even sharper than Qu Chaozong’s: "No more smoking! I’ve warned you several times!"

Shi Yang’s mouth suddenly empty, as he was about to speak, Zhao Meimei suddenly shoved an eraser into his mouth.

"Ptu, ptu, ptu!!" Shi Yang spat out the dirty black eraser, frowned, and glared at Zhao Meimei: "Are you crazy! Dirty, isn’t it!"

Zhao Meimei didn’t nag and advise like Qu Chaozong but straightforwardly retorted, "Bro, if you smoke again and I catch you, I’ll start smoking too, I mean what I say!"

Shi Yang frowned and glared at Zhao Meimei.

Zhao Meimei squinted with her thin eyelids, staring at him without blinking.

The two glared at each other for five seconds, ten seconds, fifteen seconds.....

Shi Yang was the first to compromise, snorting coldly: "I’ll quit! Okay?"

Zhao Meimei frowned, looking aggrieved.

Shi Yang sighed helplessly: "Isn’t it the high school entrance exam today? How did it go?"

Zhao Meimei didn’t respond, her small resentful eyes glanced over.

Shi Yang was thoroughly convinced, placing his hands on the desk and getting up, patting Zhao Meimei’s shoulder with one big hand, "Come on, let’s celebrate, what do you want to eat?"

Zhao Meimei promptly reported her ten-year unwavering favorite: "Hot pot!"

Shi Yang grabbed Qu Chaozong with his other hand: "Come on, you’re coming too."

Before leaving, Shi Yang instructed the others to take good care of the company and work diligently, fulfilling his responsibility as a boss with demanding employees, and then left with his arms around them, heading out freely.

The three of them gathered around the steaming hot pot, Qu Chaozong continued nagging Shi Yang: "The market is just beginning to develop, work at least for a year to earn back the capital? I’m telling you, you can’t just act impulsively, now the company isn’t just you and me, we also have to think about others!"

Shi Yang served Zhao Meimei some boiled mutton, watching her bulging cheeks, her lips turning red from the heat, pouting slightly, his gaze softened, replying leisurely: "It’s precisely for their sake that I decided to switch fields. Website development may sound minor, but the profits inside are enormous, high returns, quick rewards, it’s more promising than software development."

Qu Chaozong was so annoyed his whole body hurt: "But you still need to act within your means! We haven’t even recouped our capital! The books are in the red!"

Shi Yang ate a chopstick full of greens: "So we need to seize every possible opportunity even more."

Qu Chaozong looked at Shi Yang as if looking at a brainwashed cultist, lamenting to Zhao Meimei with great grief: "Meimei, your brother is a fool, truly!"

Zhao Meimei, with a mouthful of mutton, glared at Qu Chaozong, defending unabashedly: "Don’t talk about my brother!"

Qu Chaozong almost couldn’t catch his breath, choking on his words.

After Zhao Meimei got into a taxi, and they watched the car drive away, Qu Chaozong asked Shi Yang in despair: "What are you thinking!" ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Shi Yang withdrew his gaze from the end of the road: "Chaozi, I must succeed and make money, I want to buy a house with my own money, I want to move out of my family’s place."

Qu Chaozong, stunned, was hearing this for the first time, asked: "What, are you thinking of starting a family?"

Shi Yang shook his head, silently thinking: I just want a home of my own.

The summer vacation from middle school to high school was happy and beautiful, grades hadn’t come out, there was no homework, no need to study, all you had to do was play wildly every day.

Zhao Meimei didn’t go crazy or had fun, she and her dad used the weekends to help Xu Xu’s family move.

The old house was relocated, the new house was completed, in a great location, in a neighborhood close to several key high schools like No. 1 Middle School, No. 2 Middle School, and No. 3 Middle School in the West District.

The two rows of buildings facing the street in the community were commercial housing reserved for sale, while the next three rows were resettlement buildings. These days, people were gradually moving in, amidst construction debris and the noise of wall demolition and decoration.

Xu Xu’s family received a three-bedroom, two-hall, 110 square meter large house on the third floor as compensation, originally supposed to be the fourth floor, but the area didn’t match so they had to cover a difference of forty thousand themselves.

This sum of money was almost gathered by Xu Xu’s mother after borrowing from every friend and relative, depleting everything they had.
