Chapter 357 Choice
That night, Yan Xin didn't have dinner with Ai Lili, but went to Feng Chen's for a meal.

Feng Chen treats guests.

The younger sister got a high score in the college entrance examination, honored her ancestors, and Feng Chen was very happy, so she decided to treat her.

Not only Yan Xin was invited to the banquet, but also the employees of Anye Home Decoration, there were more than 20 people in total.

Not in a restaurant, but in their home.

——The money is so small that I can’t afford to go to the hotel, so I can only buy the ingredients and make them myself. The ingredients that cost a few hundred dollars can also make a sumptuous banquet for more than 20 people to eat and drink well.

If you go to a restaurant, it will cost you more money.

Yan Xin told Ai Lili about this matter, but he didn't take Ai Lili there. The reason he gave was that most of the people who went to eat there were decoration masters, some rough people, messy, and they would drink too much. Drunken, Ai Lili is so beautiful, there is no need to join in the fun.

The actual reason was that he didn't want to appear in front of Feng Chen with Ai Lili, and was afraid that the relationship between the two would be exposed.

Between lovers, even if the relationship is not announced, it can be seen in the communication.

It's okay to expose this relationship in front of others, but exposing this relationship in front of Feng Chen is purely courting death.

Ai Lili originally wanted to follow, but after hearing what he said, that's all.

In her impression, the construction workers were the kind of rude ones. Maybe what she saw when she went there was a group of shirtless old men who were still swearing.

Thinking about how drunk and mad they were, it gave me even more headaches, so it was better not to go - even if it was only in a community.

She can understand Yan Xin's participation in such a celebration banquet. After all, Yan Xin and Feng Chen jointly opened a company and an online store with Feng Xi. Such a celebration.

At the same time, I am quite envious of Feng Xi's grades, being able to get so many points in the test.

If she could get that many points in the college entrance examination, she wouldn't need to go to a garbage school abroad to study.

Even if it’s [-] points less, it doesn’t need to be so hard to study abroad. You can go to university in China and learn more things.

That night, Yan Xin didn't come back until after nine o'clock.

This dinner has fish and meat, chicken and duck, with a combination of meat and vegetables, and it looks quite hearty.

But in reality it didn't cost much.

There is also wine, Erguotou for white, and Snowflake for beer, so you can drink freely.

Feng Chen was very excited on this day, and explained to everyone many times how awesome his sister was with more than 700 points in the test.

Under his explanation, everyone also agreed that he had an awesome younger sister.

This acknowledgment made him very excited, and he got drunk inadvertently.

There was one person who was not so happy at the table, and that was Ruan Siyao.

After the college entrance examination, Ruan Siyao came to Yangcheng to help her sister look after the store, learn how to do business, and earn a little money by the way, which can be regarded as a part-time work-study program.

Ask others to give money, let your own people do it, you can feel more at ease, and pay wages, that's what it should be.

Yan Xin has no objection to this either.

Her college entrance examination score also came out, with 510 and [-] points in the test, liberal arts.

Of course, this score can't be said to be low, and I can't get into a good university, but I still have no problem going to university.

Originally, she was quite happy with this score line. It was more than 100 points higher than her sister's college entrance examination score, and she was considered a relatively good one in the class.

Her goal is not very high, it is enough to go to college, not necessarily a book.

Now it can be regarded as achieving what one wishes.

But after learning about Feng Xi's college entrance examination scores, he suddenly felt that life was boring.

She didn't know Feng Xi, but she knew that this person was Feng Chen's younger sister.

And she is Ruan Mengyao's younger sister.

These two younger sisters are of the same age, and they are both preparing for the college entrance examination. There is an unavoidable desire for comparison and competition between the two of them.

I had been hearing from Feng Chen how outstanding Feng Xi was, so I couldn't help being a little unconvinced.

I feel that a rural girl who goes to high school in an economically backward county receives a relatively backward education. Even if she is very talented, how can she compare with the education she received in a developed area?

But now the college entrance examination scores came out, and their college entrance examination scores reached an astonishing 700 points.

All of a sudden, she was stunned.

The gap is also too big.

Although it is not in the same province, there will be some differences in the topics, but the level shown will not be much different.

If my own score is considered excellent, then what should I do if someone else is nearly [-] points higher than me?
Under the dazzling brilliance of more than 700 points, her joy of getting more than 500 points in the test disappeared immediately, and she even felt that this score was a bit embarrassing.

At the same time, I was also a little depressed—how did I meet such a monstrous existence?

They are also younger sisters, and she feels ashamed of being a younger sister.

If she didn't pass the exam, let alone the key universities like 985 and 211, she wouldn't get the reward Ruan Mengyao promised, but her younger sister could get that kind of reward.

Thinking about it this way made me even more depressed.

Ruan Mengyao was quite happy.

The future sister-in-law is so powerful, she thinks this is a good thing.

Those who are capable can help them when they grow up.

If they don't have the skills and can't achieve their own careers, they will only stare at home, maybe they will focus on the assets they have worked so hard to save, and I don't know how much trouble they will have in the future.

From this aspect, she also hoped that this future sister-in-law would be as powerful as possible.

——As long as this kind of power is not aimed at her.

Feng Chen would give Feng Xi a reward for borrowing money, and she would support this sister's study if she wanted to pay, and she also hoped that her attitude would be rewarded positively.

At her sister's place, she also told her privately that although she didn't pass the exam, she would be given a reward of 1 yuan if she was admitted to the university.

This money was saved by herself, and she would not ask Feng Chen for it.

But Ruan Siyao refused.

If it wasn't for Feng Xi's good grades, she might still be happy to accept it.

After all, getting into college is not easy.

But there was Feng Xi in front of her, she did so well in the exam, she was ashamed of her results, so she was embarrassed to accept the award.

Although she knew that the money was saved by her elder sister herself, she would live with Feng Chen in the future, and they had been living together for more than a year. The property did not meet the previously agreed standard, so she was really embarrassed to take it.

——She didn't want to add conflicts between her sister and brother-in-law.

Of course, the more important thing is that her family is rich now, and her father is also very happy when she is admitted to university, and her tuition and living expenses will not be less.

This time the celebration was nominally to celebrate that both Feng Xi and Ruan Siyao had reached the university admission standards, but in fact it could be seen that it was mainly to celebrate Feng Xi.

Ruan Siyao didn't even want to mention her grades, it felt too embarrassing.

It wasn't the score itself that made her feel ashamed, but the comparison made her feel ashamed.

Feng Chen is the boss of Anye Home Improvement Company. When the boss is happy, the employees are naturally also happy.

Everyone was very happy, several bottles of liquor were sold out, and several cases of beer were sold out.

There were only three people who didn't drink much during the whole meeting - Yan Xin and the Ruan family sisters.

It's not that I didn't drink at all, but I didn't drink much, and I drank two or three glasses of beer from disposable cups.

Even with Yan Xin's poor drinking capacity, he didn't get drunk, he just felt a little over the top.

Feng Chen drank a little too much, cried and laughed, talked about how he performed abnormally in the college entrance examination, and even talked about the hopelessness of repeating the exam, and the matter of committing suicide by jumping into the river when he couldn't figure it out. Fishing there stopped him, and he might have already been reincarnated by now.

He also said that although his dream was shattered, his sister made his dream come true for him, and he was very happy to have the opportunity to enter the highest university in China for further study.

The employees who were also too drunk didn't listen to his words, only the Ruan sisters listened.

Ruan Siyao asked Yan Xin curiously: "Is what brother-in-law said true?"

Yan Xin nodded, and then reminded: "This is what he said when he was drunk. You just let it go after hearing it. Don't wait to tell him about it when he is sober. This is not a good memory."

Ruan Siyao smiled and said: "I understand this, this is to expose his scars."

He said again: "I didn't expect you to be his savior. No wonder you have such a good relationship, and he keeps saying good things about you."

Yan Xin made a haha: "I happened to be there that day."

Seeing that Feng Chen was too drunk, Ruan Mengyao helped him into the bedroom and let him lie on the bed to rest.

After coming out, looking at Yan Xin, he suddenly said: "Thank you."

This made Yan Xin a little embarrassed, and said, "You are too polite."

He didn't leave until the banquet was over.

After leaving the door, I sent a message to Ai Lili: "I've finished eating, if you finish eating, go downstairs, I'll wait for you on the first floor."

When he arrived, Ellie was already there waiting for him.

The first thing I did when I saw him was to lean over and sniff him, then smiled and said, "It looks like you're not drunk."

She knew that Yan Xin was not good at drinking, and was afraid that when he got to that place, someone would persuade him to drink and get him drunk, so she still had some worries in her heart.

Yan Xin said: "I told them that my liver is not good and I can't drink alcohol, so they didn't persuade me much."

"Is there really something wrong with your liver?" Ai Lili asked curiously.

"No problem," Yan Xin said, "I have been going to the hospital for a physical examination every year for the past two years, and every time I have a special liver examination, the examination results are all normal."

He smiled again and said, "I just don't want to drink, I have to give them a reason not to persuade me to drink."

Ai Lili snorted, and said, "Then I'm relieved, I thought you really had a problem with your liver."

But after he finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself: "If the liver is really normal, why does he have to check the liver every time?"

It feels a little unreasonable.

Of course she didn't know that Yan Xin was found to have liver cancer in his previous life, which brought him a huge psychological shadow, so he paid special attention to the liver in this life.

Now the liver is normal, who knows if there will be pathological changes in the future?

He decided to check his liver once a year and do the most detailed examination.

No problem is best.

If there is any problem, it can be found and resolved as soon as possible.

He already has so many assets in this life, and his life will get better and better in the future. He doesn't want to follow the old path of his previous life.

If he got liver cancer like in his previous life, even if he has billions of dollars, what can he do?

He didn't want to work too hard in this life, and he insisted on exercising every day, and he also had this consideration in mind.

Walking with Ai Lili, I walked two circles around the community, and finished the last circle with a trot.

Then they went to the fitness area and did pull-ups, sit-ups, and push-ups. They sweated profusely. The two of them went home, took a shower and went to bed.

During the walk, Ai Lili mentioned Feng Xi several times, showing her admiration for her - she opened an online store when she was in high school, her sales performance is so good, and her business talent is so high.And doing this doesn't prevent her from doing so well in her studies.

Simply a paragon of genius.

It's just that every time she started, Yan Xin carefully diverted the topic to other aspects.

——Such a topic scares Yan Xin too much, and he is worried that he will accidentally reveal some secret that cannot be revealed.

After being interrupted many times by him, Ai Lili finally stopped talking about this topic, which made Yan Xin heave a sigh of relief.

But the next morning, Ai Lili suddenly asked Yan Xin: "What dream did you have last night? I heard you laughing and woke me up."

Yan Xin remembered that what he dreamed about last night was to celebrate with Feng Xi that she became the number one student in the provincial college entrance examination, and there seemed to be nothing else.

Maybe it was because I was so happy in my dream that I laughed out loud.

He didn't dare to speak out about this dream, so he could only cover it up: "I remembered, last night I dreamed that I won the first prize of double-color ball."

Ai Lili thought for a while: "The first prize of Shuangseqiu is a few million. As for making you so happy?"

If ordinary people won the first prize of the double-color ball, they would not be too ecstatic.

But Yan Xin already has a net worth of hundreds of millions, and it seems that he would not be so happy with a mere few million in his dream.

Yan Xin continued to edit: "You don't know, I didn't win one bet, I bet a total of 100 bets, a total of three or four hundred million, and the prize pool was all emptied."

Ai Lili nodded: "That's no wonder, the first prize of [-] bets, double color ball, that's really something to be happy about."

"Isn't it?" Yan Xin said.

Ai Lili thought for a while and said: "But it's better not to touch this thing. The idea of ​​getting something for nothing is bad. More importantly, the possibility of winning the lottery is too small, so don't get addicted to it."

"Don't worry, I just bought it in a dream, but I have never bought this thing in reality." Yan Xin said with a smile.

He really never bought one in his life.

But in his previous life, there was a period of time when he bought every issue, every time he bought a ten-yuan one, selected by machine, and dreamed of winning the first prize.

At that time, he calculated that with his hard work and following the normal path, he could only work hard for the rest of his life.

Only a few million can solve his plight and let him live a happy life.

In order to maintain this illusory dream, I have to spend more than 100 yuan a month.

During the period, I also won five or ten yuan, but in general, I still lost money.

After getting married, I basically didn't buy it.

Some money was wasted, but looking back, that small lottery ticket also gave him more expectations for the future, so that he would not despair of life in that kind of predicament with no end in sight.

Although that expectation is illusory and the possibility of realization is very small, there is still such a dream.

During those years, if I didn’t even have such a dream, I really don’t know if I could stick to it.

With the bonus of rebirth in this life, you can live a better life down-to-earth, so there is no need to pin your hopes on those illusory things.

Ai Lili's words reminded Yan Xin of the time when he relied on lottery tickets to maintain his confidence in living, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

He still didn't go to work that day, so he rested at home.

Ai Lili has gone to work, so he can chat with Feng Xi boldly.

We chatted all morning.

But what they were talking about was not about ambiguous things, but about which university Feng Xi should apply for.

Feng Xi actually prefers universities in the Yangtze River Delta, because it is more convenient for her to expand her career there.

However, her parents, her brother, and her teacher all hoped that she could choose a university in Qingbei.

You can choose any one of those two universities, but you cannot choose the other.

For her school and class, it is obviously more honorable for students to enter Qingbei to study than other schools, and it can also make their signs more resounding.

My family also felt that those two universities were better.

When Feng Chen heard that she wanted to go to a university in the Yangtze River Delta, he opposed it very strongly. He felt that she wasted such a high score and her talent, and asked her to apply for a university in the capital, and she could only go to Qingbei. Choose from two universities.

This made Feng Xi more entangled.

If she had already made up her mind, then there was nothing to worry about, no matter how others objected, it would be useless.

The problem is that she hasn't made up her mind, and she doesn't know how to choose.

She asked Yan Xin what she thought.

Yan Xin chatted with her for a long time, and knew that she was also struggling without a clear choice.

So he stated: "Since everyone wants you to go to Beijing to study in university, then go to Beijing."

Feng Xi: "But the business environment there is not that good, which will affect the company's development."

Yan Xin thought for a while, and said to her: "You are only now, and the road ahead is still long. There is no need to focus on the past few years. It doesn't matter if the development is not so good in the past few years. When you finish university, you can Then move the company away. Studying in such a top university, you will know geniuses from all over the country, and you will definitely become an elite in all walks of life in the future, and it will also make your personal connections better. , the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."

After he said this, Feng Xi made a decision:

"That's fine, I'll listen to you, I'll go to the capital to study."
