Chen Huaqiang did not expect that this kid in front of him had achieved more than he did back in the day. Despite goofing off at school, his academic performance was still impressive. It seems his daughter has a good eye for talent!
"Well, since that's the case, it's even better. I plan to let you take a three-week break to help your father with the new store opening. Do you have the confidence for that?" Chen Huaqiang asked Bing Tianyi curiously.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Huaqiang's wife quickly interjected, "Alright, stop talking nonsense. The child still needs to study. Are you suggesting they should start doing business as early as you did?"
"What’s wrong with that? I don’t want my future son-in-law to only have a diploma and end up not knowing how to do anything!" Chen Huaqiang replied with a cold smile at his wife.
Father Bing and Mother Bing exchanged glances, both preparing to speak when Chen Huaqiang continued, "Now that the marriage is settled, I consider myself half a relative of Bing Tianyi. It’s time to see what Tianyi thinks about this."
After a moment of thought, Bing Tianyi nodded and said, "Sure."
"Child, you must not neglect your studies," Mother Bing said anxiously as she looked at her son.
"Don't worry, Mom. I promise I'll be in the top ten of my class every exam," Bing Tianyi confidently assured his parents.
Seeing the serious expression on his son's face, Father Bing glanced at the hopeful Chen Huaqiang beside him and could only nod in agreement. "That sounds good; it's a chance to gain some experience and understand how hard we work."
As Father Bing spoke, Chen Qian suddenly looked up at her father and said, "Dad, that's so unfair! Tianyi gets to experience life; why can't I?"
"Just give it up. With your grades being third from the bottom in the class, don't embarrass me."
"That's because I don't want to study! If I really tried, I would definitely get good grades." Chen Qian knew that if Bing Tianyi went out to do business, her chances of seeing him would be even less.
Chen Huaqiang looked at his daughter with a cold smile and said, "Don't say you need to rank in the top ten of your grade; if you can just get into the top one hundred next time, I will agree to whatever you say."
"Alright, it's a deal." Chen Qian stood up and slapped the table.
Chen Huaqiang looked at his daughter helplessly and awkwardly smiled at Father Bing and Mother Bing, saying, "I'm sorry, this child has been spoiled by us since she was little, and that's how she turned out."
"It's fine, kids are still young." Although Father Bing felt displeased, he could only force a smile because of his son.
Chen Huaqiang nodded with a bitter smile at his daughter and said, "Hurry up and sit down."
After both families finished dinner, it was already past seven in the evening. Bing Tianyi, as discussed at the dinner table, returned to school and asked for leave from his homeroom teacher the next morning.
As Bing Tianyi's homeroom teacher, Wan Ying did not expect him to request such a long leave.
"Bing Tianyi, you need to think this through. Taking leave for such a long time means you'll miss the midterm exams. Will you still be able to achieve good grades?" Wan Ying said with regret.
"Ms. Wan, don't worry. If I have any questions later, I will come to school to ask you," Bing Tianyi replied with a smile.
Wan Ying frowned and remained silent in the office for a moment before saying to Bing Tianyi, "No, I think we should go to the Disciplinary Office to see Director Wang."
Wan Ying knew that Director Wang was particularly against students taking leave without valid reasons; she wanted to use this method to keep Bing Tianyi at school.
However, what Wan Ying did not expect was that after explaining the situation to Wang Bing, he surprisingly agreed without hesitation.
With no other choice, Wan Ying had to fill in her name on the leave request form.
At noon, after handing over all the association matters to Wu Zhaojun, Bing Tianyi slung his backpack over his shoulder and turned to leave the school gate.
Just a few minutes after stepping outside, as he was about to take the bus to the Urban Management Bureau to inquire about the lost money, he suddenly heard Chen Qian calling out loudly behind him, "Bing Tianyi, wait up!"
Stopping in his tracks, Bing Tianyi turned to see Chen Qian rushing towards him with a few girls. He smiled as she approached. Before he could say anything, Chen Qian reached out and hugged him tightly, whispering in his ear, "Wait for me outside. In about four hours, I'll take a leave to come and be with you."
Bing Tianyi gently released Chen Qian and said seriously, "Listen carefully. If you encounter any trouble at school, you must find a way to inform me."
"Don't worry. From today on, I will focus on my studies and won't waste time anymore," Chen Qian replied with a smile, tears glistening in her eyes.
Hearing this, Bing Tianyi felt a sense of relief wash over him. At that moment, he realized the power of love was indeed remarkable!
After Chen Qian entered the school, Bing Tianyi turned and headed to the bus stop. Once on the bus, he hurriedly made his way to the Urban Management Bureau.
He understood that in order to successfully open this small shop, he needed to recover the lost ten thousand yuan.
Upon arriving at the Urban Management Bureau, he first sought out Liu Qian. He was concerned that going directly to Sun Hua might lead to further complications.
However, when he entered Liu Qian's office, he found two other staff members working there. Seeing Bing Tianyi, they frowned and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Liu Qian," Bing Tianyi replied straightforwardly.
"What do you need him for?"
"A small matter."
"What is it?"
Faced with the continuous questioning from the two, Bing Tianyi helplessly retorted, "Are you planning to dig deeper into this? I'm here to see him for personal reasons, of course."
The two men sneered and asked, "What is your relationship with Captain Liu?"
Upon hearing this, Bing Tianyi was somewhat surprised and asked, "He has been promoted to captain so quickly?"
"You don't even know this and you're looking for him?" the two staff members continued to sneer.
Bing Tianyi sighed with a smile and said directly to them, "Alright then, I won't trouble you any further. I'll find him myself."
The County Urban Management Bureau wasn't very large, so it wasn't difficult to find someone. After Bing Tianyi turned around, one of the junior staff members laughed in the room and said, "Go to the second floor; he should be there today."
Bing Tianyi thanked them loudly and hurried up to the second floor.
Seeing the words on the door of the captain's office on the left side, Bing Tianyi approached and knocked. Liu Qian was inside at that moment, asking a staff member about something that happened that day. Hearing Bing Tianyi's voice from outside, he quickly got up and smiled, "Bing, my brother, you’re here!"
Saying this, Liu Qian stepped forward to open the door. Once Bing Tianyi entered, Liu Qian turned to the junior staff member and smiled, "Alright, you can go out for now."
After the junior staff member left, Bing Tianyi smiled at Liu Qian and said, "Captain Liu, congratulations!"
"Bing, my brother, I really have to thank you for this. I didn't expect your fortune-telling to be so accurate; it's even better than that Master Qi," Liu Qian said with a beaming smile.
Hearing Master Qi's name, Bing Tianyi directly asked, "Are you referring to the one from the Crossroad Ma Yi Club in the county?"
"Yes, that's him. This old guy has been making a fortune in recent years. Do you know how much it costs to get a fortune told?" Liu Qian asked while pouring tea for Bing Tianyi.
Bing Tianyi had no idea about that. Although he had heard the name of Master Qi long ago, he had never met this so-called living deity or had his fortune told by him.
"I don't know. It shouldn't be more than five hundred, right?" Bing Tianyi asked tentatively.
"Five hundred? Let me tell you, getting a fortune told by Master Qi costs at least five thousand. If it's less than that, he won't even pay attention to you," Liu Qian said with a helpless smile.
Upon hearing this, Bing Tianyi was stunned. Spending five thousand just for a simple fortune-telling? The fortune teller must be out of his mind!
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but ask Liu Qian, "Liu Ge, are you joking? Who would pay such a high price for a fortune-telling?"
"Hehe, you might not believe it, but people have to book an appointment a month in advance to get their fortunes told by him. Otherwise, even if you offer him more money, he won't bother," Liu Qian said as he handed a cup of tea to Bing Tianyi.
Bing Tianyi held the cup in his hand, wearing a helpless smile on his face. He was pondering who in the world would spend such a large amount of money on fortune-telling.
After thinking for a moment, Bing Tianyi remembered that he had come here for an important matter. He then smiled and asked Liu Qian, "Liu Ge, I need to ask you about something regarding my money..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Liu Qian chuckled and said, "Bing, your luck is quite good. A new official has just taken office and started investigating the Urban Management Bureau's embezzlement issues. In just two hours, the person who took your money handed it over to Director Sun."
"Where is the money now?" Bing Tianyi quickly asked.
"It's in the finance department on the first floor. I'll take you there right now," Liu Qian said as he led Bing Tianyi downstairs.
To be honest, Bing Tianyi didn't expect the money to be found so easily. Following Liu Qian to the finance department on the first floor, Liu Qian briefly explained the situation to the staff there. After that, Bing Tianyi signed some papers, and they handed him the entire ten thousand yuan.
Holding ten thousand yuan, Bing Tianyi finally felt relieved.
For the past few days, this ten thousand yuan had clearly been a source of anxiety for him. If he hadn't found it, he was seriously considering reporting it to the police for investigation.
Unexpectedly, now that he had it back, it felt like a great piece of news for him.
After briefly thanking Liu Qian, Bing Tianyi hurried out the door, heading home.
After all, he only had a few days. Although he had never run a small shop before, he knew that opening one wasn't easy. First, there was the renovation, which would take at least fifteen days. Then there were the necessary permits to obtain, along with purchasing new tables and chairs. All of these factors combined made it uncertain whether twenty days would be enough.
When he got home and placed the ten thousand yuan on the table, Father Bing and Mother Bing were once again taken aback. They looked at their son with astonishment and asked, "Where did you get this money?"
Bing Tianyi tossed his backpack onto the bed and smiled at his parents, saying, "Of course it's our own money."
"You found the money you lost at the Urban Management Bureau?" Father Bing's eyes widened in disbelief.
Seeing the surprised expression on his father's face, Bing Tianyi revealed a sincere smile and nodded, saying, "Of course. I told you I would get this money back."
Upon hearing this, both Father Bing and Mother Bing laughed. Their smiles contained not only happiness but also pride in their son.
