Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 83: Rich Kid...?
"After all this time, I still haven't gotten the person's name." Lin Zhiyuan ate bread with his shoulders drooped, looking dejected.

"Why do you think I like her?"

"You've been staring at it for quite some time."

"I'm looking at the bread. Don't you think this bread smells good?"

"It's really delicious, but bread is not important." The fat boy straightened up and put it back, "Alas, it's useless to say anything. I just missed it."

"Do you like her?"

"No, you can't change the subject like this, Mr. Yan. Your brother is helping you, so you tell me this."

"Okay, okay," Li Yan comforted Xiao Pang, "Let's find a place to eat, and then find a place to play in the afternoon."

"Don't you really think it's a pity, Mr. Yan?"

"We met by chance, got along well, and found a delicious bakery. That's enough."

"That's right. Anyway, I know she is at Rongxi Middle School and she also knows that she likes to eat this bakery. At most, I can come here more often."

Li Yan covered her face, "Zhiyuan, why are you so persistent?"

"Because you didn't say you didn't like it."

Li Yan was stunned. "Oh, we just met once. What's the point of talking about liking or not? We are only in the first grade, Zhiyuan. This is too exaggerated."

Lin Zhiyuan made a sly face and said, "I know, I know. Study hard and eat."

It was quite interesting to have such a little episode on the happy weekend. However, even Li Yan himself did not expect that he would think of the girl in the yellow dress when he smelled the milk-flavored steamed buns in the cafeteria.

I have to admit that he really meets Li Yan's aesthetic standards, but he is still too young at the second year of junior high school.

It's very special, so I will remember it. Although it doesn't have a name, it's fate. If we meet again next time, I should ask.

It's nice to be friends.

The first week of school is always the most special. Everyone is unfamiliar with each other, the rhythm of campus life is not yet fully formed, and everyone has a strong but cautious desire to explore.

By the second week, a rhythm had suddenly formed - I was much more adaptable as a student than I am after I start working.

Most of the information that needed to be explored has been explored, the people that needed to be familiar were basically familiar, and the style of the course teacher was roughly understood. The students' initial curiosity about the junior high school campus was quickly exhausted due to the high-intensity exploration.

Even dormitory 403 has formed a rhythm of life.

Zhu Qinglun likes to pack up his meals and take them back to the dormitory, Chen Fan is always the first to take a shower, Lin Heng is only active after coming back from evening self-study, Li Ruofei will go to the playground to run, Liang Tiancheng will arrive in class half an hour early to start self-study, and Li Yan... is unpredictable.

No matter when they appeared in the dormitory, Li Yan was either reading a book or using the computer. At first, everyone thought it was a combination of work and rest, until Chen Fan, who had never seen Li Yan log in to the game, took a look and realized that this guy was looking for information on the Internet.

The books he read were all related to economics. He took a lot of notes and read one book during one evening study session - yes, this guy actually doesn't study.

Do your homework as you like and bring your textbooks as you please.

Fortunately, it is Class Zero and the teacher doesn't care about it at all. If it were in other classes, it would have been made an example long ago.

However, his roommates did not dare to underestimate him. They believed that someone who could master both civil and military skills must have his own unique qualities.

They were all secretly competing with each other, waiting for the monthly exam.

Although they compete with each other, the geniuses also share a wonderful life, and the atmosphere in the dormitory is surprisingly good.

Before dinner, Lin Heng would practice guitar in the dormitory, and occasionally sing - he was thoughtful enough to bring noise-canceling headphones to his roommates, but everyone said it was unnecessary.

Li Ruofei's words "It's like listening to the music of heaven, and my ears are temporarily clear" moved Lin Heng so much that he said "I can break my string for Ruofei". However, because Li Ruofei runs every day, he actually misses Lin Heng most of the time...

This sunny and sporty boy plays in a team on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.

Zhu Qinglun has been writing some current affairs commentary articles, and after finishing them he will share them with everyone after returning from evening self-study and have a night talk in the dormitory.

Chen Fan tinkers with the computer every day, and other people can't understand him.

Because of his social butterfly nature outside, he always brings up a lot of strange gossip and topics, but once he returns to the dormitory, he becomes socially anxious and can only send messages in the dormitory QQ group.

Liang Class is extremely active in recruiting new members for various clubs, and sometimes starts discussions on the topic of "how to make Class Zero better".

Li Yan will try her best to participate in all the activities of the above roommates, and can be said to be the first glue of the dormitory.

This week's PE, art, and music teachers all made an appearance - and then just showed off how big the playground was, how new the art textbooks were, and how great the music room was.

During this whole week, Li Yan's improvement was basically concentrated in the "Economics" column. His knowledge was still relatively shallow, so he temporarily classified various small skills as "Economics" itself. After reading several books, his third-level skill economics reached 20 points, with a % progress bar.

Then Li Yan became depressed. First, he clearly felt that there was an invisible wall blocking his subsequent improvement. Second, this improvement was of little use to him at the moment.

He did not improve his logic and thinking skills by studying economics, but instead used powerful logic to understand economics.

If you want to learn further, you need some understanding of reality. The laws of economics are rational, but the object of its study is human beings.

But no matter what, what you have learned will always be there. Only by laying a solid foundation can you have a future.

His study of economics came to an end, but Lehman Brothers on the other side of the ocean was unwilling to be left out and declared bankruptcy on September 9, officially bringing the storm to China and the whole world.

Li Yan noticed it during lunch on Monday. The discussions in the cafeteria seemed to be much louder than usual, and were mixed with emotions such as anxiety, lamentation, and helplessness. The voices were not strong, but they were indeed very prominent.

Comrade Bai Xiaosheng is still the first source of information, and at this moment he has turned into a small encyclopedia. In just one meal, he explained the whole story of the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in the United States.

"Today is destined to be a day that will be remembered in history. We are all witnesses!"

In the end, Bai Xiaosheng came to the conclusion that those people who were sighing and groaning probably all came from families that traded stocks and had probably lost money.

Although New Taipei First High School is a school that only accepts students based on academic performance, it is located in the central old city area of ​​New Taipei City, which means that a high proportion of local students are wealthy.

In that era, people who had some money liked to speculate in stocks.

So Li Yan felt an atmosphere that was completely different from the same node before his rebirth. It was not that the impact of the storm had expanded, but that his circle was different.

Listening to this group of students talking about "stocks" and "indexes" all the time, and how they lost thousands or tens of thousands of dollars without showing any strong sadness on their faces, Li Yan felt a little emotional. In fact, at this age, they already have class circles.

No, it exists from birth. How many people, or even a family, have been trapped in the vicious class circle of "climbing up a class" or "not falling down a class" for their entire lives, or even for several generations.

Back in the classroom, the discussion became more intense. The kids in Class Zero didn't just dwell on how much money they lost, but were more willing to discuss the impact of the crisis. But judging from their expressions, they were probably also among those who were hit.

Bai Xiaosheng, who had always been lively and energetic, became silent in the afternoon. Chen Fan also put away his socialite image and exposed the situation in the dormitory in front of his classmates.

“From this perspective, those with bad complexions must all be rich people.” Li Yan thought of this and shook his head with a smile.

Damn it, looking around, everyone has a sad face, Liang Tiancheng is the only one who is better - it seems that you are also a noble boy from a poor family!
"What?" Liang Tiancheng, who had always been very steady, shouted in the crowd, "I thought the real economy would not be affected. Isn't it only the stock speculators who are affected?"

"I've told you, monitor. The impact of this is worldwide. The economy is going to have big problems. There may be waves of unemployment and bankruptcies..." A classmate named Huang spread his hands.

I can't be the only one after all this trouble... Li Yan laughed at himself and continued to read the Selected Essays of Wang Zengqi in his hand.

What he didn't know was that while he was observing others, others were also observing him.
