Rebirth: The Life of a Scholar

Chapter 46

On the afternoon of the fifth day of the lunar new year, there were many people at the train station in city b. There were people who were leaving and those who were coming. Standing among the crowd, Tang Xu felt confused for the first time in city b.

The emotion of being confused will make people feel an unprecedented emptiness. When a person is confused, he always needs a support.

But at this time Tang Xu was at a loss precisely because he didn't have that support.

When Lin Ziyang found Tang Xu, he saw him sitting in a daze in the waiting hall. His appearance really made people feel distressed. If Ji Rong saw it, he might not go anywhere.

Lin Ziyang sighed and walked over, standing in front of him: "Why don't you come out?"

Tang Xu looked up at him in a daze, and smiled half-heartedly: "I haven't recovered from the car just now, sorry for keeping you waiting." In fact, he hasn't slept in the past two days, and his mind is a little heavy.

Looking at Tang Xu's smile with dark circles under his eyes, Lin Ziyang didn't say anything more, picked up his suitcase: "Let's go."

Tang Xu nodded and followed behind him. The two walked out of the train station one after another. On the way, Tang Xu was squeezed into the corner by the crowd several times. Frivolous, but fortunately he is not squeamish, and walks step by step with strength.

Wang Linhao waited by the car for a long time and finally saw the two people coming out. He waved his paws at Tang Xu excitedly: "Tang Xu! Long time no see!" As he said that, he rushed forward and gave Tang Xu a big hug.

Tang Xu was so hugged that he couldn't breathe, and he patted him on the back amusedly: "It's only been over a week."

"It's been a long time! What's wrong with your eyes? Why are the dark circles under your eyes so big! Did you not sleep well?" Wang Linhao let him go and looked at him in various ways.

"Yeah, the train is too noisy and stuffy, so I can't sleep well." Tang Xu touched his glasses, thinking that he must be in a mess right now.

"Oh, I said you two don't think it's too cold, so hurry up and get in the car!" Lin Ziyang was shivering from the cold in his clothes.

Sitting in Lin Ziyang's car, Tang Xu was no longer depressed as before, and looking at the scenery outside the window, he still didn't feel sleepy at all.

"Ji Rong told you, right?" Wang Linhao, a man who can't hold back his words, would slap Lin Ziyang on whatever pot he didn't want to open. Does this guy have any good eyesight?

"Oh, the senior said, do you know which school the senior went to as an exchange student?" Tang Xu lowered his eyes.

Wang Linhao and Lin Ziyang looked at each other and reported the name of the school. They thought it better not to talk about this topic again, but Tang Xu's expression was very flat, so it shouldn't have much impact. Seeing this, Lin Ziyang couldn't help wiping away tears for his brother. The child obviously only regards Ji Rong as a friend.

When they were about to arrive at school, Tang Xu said that he wanted to invite them to dinner, but the two of them didn't shirk. They found a restaurant and parked their car on the side of the road. Tang Xu didn't eat much in the past two days, so he ate a lot.

After eating, Tang Xu went back to the dormitory to rest for a day and went to work tomorrow. After tidying up the dormitory and taking a shower, Tang Xu fell on the bed, his head was swollen, he wanted to sleep but he couldn't sleep, Tang Xu had no choice but to force himself to lie down Close your eyes, the empty dormitory is eerily quiet.

After lying down for an unknown amount of time, Tang Xu finally fell asleep, but the sleep was very light.

The next morning, Tang Xu looked at his dark circles under his eyes and went to work speechlessly. When his colleagues saw him like this, they all laughed at him for having panda eyes. The women began to ask him if he had something on his mind, and some even suspected that he had a sweetheart. Tang Xu tried his best to get rid of them in a funny way.

In the afternoon, Yin Lianchang brought a foreigner to visit the company, and Tang Xu was arranged to follow him. The foreigner saw Tang Xu and asked Yin Lianchang suspiciously how old the child was. Yin Lianchang smiled and said that he was growing slowly and had already grown up. Unbelievable but still believed, and warmly greeted Tang Xu.

This was Tang Xu's first contact with a real foreigner, so he shook his hand nervously and said hello to him.

The foreigner was surprised to find that Tang Xu's English was very standard, and his accent was pure. Yin Lianchang had tried Tang Xu a long time ago, so he smiled very calmly.

"Oh, did this kid grow up abroad?"

"No, no, he is a native of the country."

"When he opened his mouth, I thought I met a fellow countryman hahaha."

"You are too flattering. This child may be more gifted in language."

"Then he can speak the languages ​​of many countries?"

"This, it seems not."

"It's a pity, I would like to hire him if he knows more languages."

"Das, you can't compete with me, this kid is good at studying, and he will definitely not be a full-time translator in the future."

"Are you studying well?"

"In terms of the national ranking, it should be this." Yin Lianchen gave a thumbs up.

Tang Xu was almost praised by Yin Lianchang to go to Tianshan Mountain, and his face was red when he was listening. Since Yin Lianchang found out his grades on the Internet, his attitude was obviously a little more appreciative than before. It was obvious that he wanted to promote Tang Xu, Tang Xu I feel that I am not suitable for doing business, but I can learn as much as I can from Yin Lianchi, and I will never go wrong.

Back to the dormitory after get off work, Tang Xu flipped through the textbooks after eating instant noodles. Thinking of what Das said today, he is still young and can only do some things he is good at, and this is the only thing he can do now. If he can speak the language, doesn't it mean that his work contacts will be wider?

Thinking about it this way, Tang Xu thinks it is quite reliable. He is now 16 years old, has a good memory, and can learn a lot. It just so happens that his high school studies are basically fine now as long as he listens to lectures and reviews. To be honest, the wages of part-time jobs are really not much. If Tang Xu wants to hurry up and save money now, working part-time in a dessert shop is not a good choice.

Thinking of this, Tang Xu already had an idea. When he got off work the next day, Tang Xu went to the mall to look at his notebook. He still had more than 2000 yuan on him, which his parents refused to let him keep.

Tang Xu is completely a layman to computers, and doesn't understand the quality of notes at all, but before he came here, he asked Xiao Xu some questions about this, so he was a little bit at a loss, and went back and forth to a few stores to compare prices and performance Tang Xu I decided to buy a slightly better one since I want to buy one. It doesn’t need too many functions, but it needs to be durable. It’s best to use it for a few years or even longer.

Gritting his teeth, Tang Xu bought a notebook worth [-] yuan, and invested several months of living expenses into it. This is the first time Tang Xu spent so much money all at once, but Tang Xu felt quite guilty. , he will definitely earn it back!
