Although Wu Zhaojun and Bing Tianyi had not known each other for long, Wu Zhaojun often spoke of loyalty. Recently, as he got to know Bing Tianyi better, he understood what kind of person Bing Tianyi was.
First and foremost, there was no question about his character. Now that Bing Tianyi had decided to open a shop, it was clear that the financial aspect would pose a challenge given his family situation, which Wu Zhaojun and the other brothers had witnessed during their visits to Bing Tianyi's home.
So, as Bing Tianyi's brother, Wu Zhaojun went home and without much thought borrowed ten thousand yuan from his parents.
When he heard Bing Tianyi asking about the money, Wu Zhaojun simply smiled and said, "Don't worry, this money definitely isn't obtained through any deceit."
Seeing the bright smile on Wu Zhaojun's face made Bing Tianyi feel a pang of sadness. He quietly asked Wu Zhaojun, "Did you borrow it from home?"
Wu Zhaojun nodded. At that moment, Pang Yu and Maping awkwardly smiled at Bing Tianyi and said, "Big Brother, although we don't have money, we will definitely help out when the shop opens."
Bing Tianyi looked closely at these brothers in front of him, feeling incredibly excited. Without thinking much, he stepped forward and embraced them tightly.
After a few seconds, Wang Peng smiled and said, "Alright, Big Brother, can we go out and have some fun now?"
Bing Tianyi shook his head, took out eight hundred yuan from his pocket, handed it to Wang Peng, and said, "That day you helped me gather five hundred; I'm returning it to you now."
At this point, seeing Wang Peng about to say something, Bing Tianyi suddenly raised his hand to gesture for him to hold on and continued, "Please don’t say you don’t want this money. I made it very clear at the time that I was borrowing it from you. If you bring it up now, it would mean you look down on me as a brother. As for the remaining three hundred, you guys can go have fun at the bar. I can't drink because of family matters; I'm sorry."
Wu Zhaojun and the others glanced at Bing Tianyi and nodded in agreement. "Alright then, we'll head out first. See you at school tomorrow."
Bing Tianyi nodded. After watching his brothers disappear from view, he turned around and headed home.
Upon entering, the expressions of his parents had changed somewhat compared to before. Notably, his father was sitting by the table, enjoying a drink.
Seeing this, Bing Tianyi couldn't help but smile sincerely. He knew that his father only drank when he was happy.
He approached and sat next to his father, looking at him directly and saying, "Dad, have you thought about the store opening?"
Father Bing took a deep breath and then looked up at Bing Tianyi with a smile, saying, "I've already talked to your mother about it, but we only have thirteen thousand yuan right now. To open a store, we need at least thirty thousand; we're still short seventeen thousand. Where are we going to find that?"
As soon as Father Bing finished speaking, Bing Tianyi smiled and said, "Look at this."
While speaking, Bing Tianyi pulled out ten thousand yuan from his pocket and placed it on the table.
Seeing the stack of money in front of them, both Father Bing and Mother Bing were stunned. After a long while, they stared at their son and asked, "You actually got this money back?"
Bing Tianyi waved his hand and whispered, "The ten thousand yuan from Brother Kun will probably take a couple of days to get."
As soon as he finished speaking, Father Bing looked at Bing Tianyi and asked directly, "How did you get so much money?"
In Father Bing's eyes, although his son had gained some skills recently, it was impossible for him to come back with ten thousand yuan after just one day out. If it were through legitimate means, it simply couldn't happen.
Seeing the expression on his father's face, Bing Tianyi smiled wryly and said, "Dad, please don't think too much about it; this money was lent to me by a friend."
"Is it those friends from society again?" Father Bing asked with the same expression, questioning his son earnestly.
Hearing this, Bing Tianyi quickly replied with a smile, "Of course not; it's from my classmates."
"Has your classmate's head been kicked by a donkey or slammed by a door? How could he lend you, a poor kid, so much money at once? Are you crazy?" Father Bing questioned his son in disbelief.
At this moment, Bing Tianyi was at a loss for words. After a long pause, he finally forced a smile and said, "Dad, where do you think I got this money from?"
"I don't care where you got it from; just pay it back quickly. If that's not possible, you should go to the police station and confess," Father Bing replied.
Hearing this, Bing Tianyi was completely speechless. Standing there, he looked at his father and helplessly asked, "Dad, do you really think I'm that kind of person?"
"What do you think you are? How many people who read fortunes on the street are good people?" Father Bing sneered.
"Then why don't you say that the weather forecasters on TV are bad people too? They report the weather every day," Bing Tianyi countered, looking at his father.
Mother Bing stood nearby, watching the two argue. She impatiently said, "Alright, stop arguing. Can't you sit down and talk about this?"
"Listen to him; this kid actually compares fortune-telling with weather forecasting. Can these two things even be compared?" Father Bing said, exasperated, glaring at his son.
After Father Bing finished speaking, Bing Tianyi solemnly replied, "Dad, this isn't fortune-telling; it's divination. The principle is actually similar to weather forecasting. Weather forecasts are based on meteorological changes to predict the weather. I simply make predictions about the future based on natural patterns and the relationships between the heavenly stems and earthly branches. My method of divination cannot be compared to those frauds on the street."
Father Bing listened and saw the disdainful smile on Bing Tianyi's face. After a moment, he bluntly said, "From what you're saying, using your generation's trendy language, does that mean your actions are quite sophisticated?"
"I never said that. I'm just using divination to promote our country's study of Zhou Yi," Bing Tianyi replied with a smile.
Father Bing was not concerned about that at the moment; what he cared about was the origin of the ten thousand yuan. So after Bing Tianyi finished speaking, Father Bing continued to ask, "Alright, tell me honestly: where did this ten thousand yuan come from?"
"Wu Zhaojun—do you remember him? The tall student who came to see me yesterday? His family seems to own a hotel; ten thousand yuan is nothing for them," Bing Tianyi said with a bitter smile.
"Why would he lend you money?" Father Bing asked, still somewhat puzzled.
"I can't explain it clearly either. If you don't believe me, I can bring him here tomorrow to clarify," Bing Tianyi said directly to his father.
Seeing the serious expression on his son's face, Father Bing was about to speak when Mother Bing interjected, "Alright, I trust our son."
"In that case, consider this money as a loan from me. Once your mother and I start earning, I'll pay you back. But you must return it to him personally," Father Bing finally smiled and said seriously to his son.
Bing Tianyi nodded in agreement with a smile. After seeing his father put the money away, he turned to his mother and asked, "Whose name will the store be registered under?"
"Your father's," Mother Bing replied cheerfully.
In fact, both of the older adults had come to understand that society was constantly evolving, and their old-fashioned ways of making money were outdated. Moreover, with their son needing more funds for school in the future, relying on their current methods would likely never yield enough income.
Thus, given the current situation, change was the only solution.
After noticing the smile on his mother's face, Bing Tianyi said earnestly, "Let's register it under your name; after all, you handle everything personally."
At that moment, Father Bing chuckled and added, "Right? Registering it under yours sounds nice too."
The family finally gathered together that evening to brainstorm ideas for opening the store.
The next morning, Bing Tianyi got up early and went to school.
After the morning self-study session and during physical exercise, the school took appropriate action against several students from his class who had attacked Gao Pengjun. Bing Tianyi understood this decision; after all, rules are necessary for order. Furthermore, regardless of their reasons, they were wrong for hitting a teacher.
After the announcement of the punishment, what no one expected was that Gao Pengjun stepped forward, holding a letter of repentance, and began to read it aloud in front of all the teachers and students.
Seeing this, Bing Tianyi felt a weight lift off his shoulders.
However, what Bing Tianyi did not know was that the changes on Gao Pengjun's surface were actually hiding a huge conspiracy.
After the morning exercises, Bing Tianyi, who was already the Lion Head of the First Year, became even more popular.
During breakfast, Bing Tianyi enjoyed absolute support; before he even reached the cafeteria, several of his brothers had already gotten food for him. Sitting at the dining table, Bing Tianyi felt a bit awkward as he ate.
Nearby, Wu Zhaojun and others gathered around Bing Tianyi, chatting back and forth.
A few minutes later, several girls suddenly approached and one of them sternly shouted at the students sitting next to Bing Tianyi, "Why aren't you getting lost?"
Seeing that the girls were wearing Sophomore uniforms, the students immediately stood up and moved aside.
Bing Tianyi and Wu Zhaojun remained seated. Once the girls sat down in front of Bing Tianyi, he smiled and asked, "I mean, is it really necessary to make such a big fuss just to have a meal?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Qian, sipping soy milk, looked down and smiled at Bing Tianyi, saying, "You First Year students are quite impressive. The boys have formed two gangs all of a sudden, and now there's a Su Qin among the girls who wants to challenge my authority. Want to come by this afternoon at the back gate of the school to check it out?"
