Chapter 8, … Su Bai once thought about running to school in the morning, but the bad air in City area completely dispelled this idea. When he drove smoothly into B University, the first thing he did was not to enjoy the beautiful campus, nor to sigh at the bunch of students reminiscing the elegance of his own youth, but to make a serious decision to change that d.a.m.ned broken car.
By the way, after a month of diet and crazy exercise, although his body shape at the moment could not be compared with that of young people such as Ye Ziwu, at least it no longer looked like a bloated steamed bun. After changing into a more suitable and expensive outfit, the Su Bai now who was walking on campus was also someone who could make people take a second look.
Buddha relies on gold, and people rely on clothes. This saying was not wrong at all.
After Su"s initial weight loss results, Ye Ziwu left a pile of clothes for Su Bai before leaving. Ye Ziwu"s good background also gave him a decent fashion taste. Su Bai accepted them happily.
Back in school, Master Su first went to Su Mo"s block to report, did some routine procedures and was called to ‘chat" by the Secretary of the university. The general meaning was “some students have complex family backgrounds, and we ordinary people do not have to go against them. Everything must be thought with a more open mind.”
Su Bai replied with a few words, and the Secretary of the university said nothing more, but reminded him to call the block in-charge if anything were to happen. Su Bai thanked them and left. He had a new curriculum in his hands. Su Mo had held elective courses in the University before but after the accident, the elective courses stopped and now he did not have many cla.s.ses in his hands, only two in a week.
In Su Bai"s vague memories, his school years pa.s.sed fairly well, and because his family had great power, from kindergarten onwards, Su Bai was held and served like a master, which lasted until university. There was not much that could really be learned in university, especially for people like him where the main purpose of going to school was not to study, but to socialize and form connections.
At that time, Su Bai had not become Master Su. He also had a blazing youth much like everyone else when he was young. They would play the n.o.ble children with the graceful manners envied by everyone in front of the public, and then turn to fight in a dark corner, even against each other. Although the years of burning pa.s.sion had pa.s.sed for a long time, his calm blood would become hot and leap as he relived each memory.
With his right hand on the pulse of his left wrist, Su Bai calmed himself before the bell rang. Holding his textbooks, Master Su entered the cla.s.sroom. Rumors about Su Mo have pa.s.sed for a month or so, so most of Su Mo"s cla.s.smates did not know the reason for Su Mo"s sudden departure. They simply thought that Su Mo went on leave simply because of the bad rumors. Most of them still had the impression of Su Mo as “a kind, ordinary fat man".
So when Su Ye came into the cla.s.sroom wearing simple and appropriate clothes that could not match the word “earthy”, almost half of the students could not immediately connect this slightly fat man with Su Mo.
“Where did you all do before cla.s.s?” As he sat in the chair behind the desk, Su Bai looked down at his textbook and his voice was slightly cold.
“The subst.i.tute teacher has finished teaching topics for part of the exam, and the final exam will be in three weeks.” The monitor, who looked like a nerd in the front row, answered.
“Oh, really?” Su Bai"s tone had joy that could not be hidden. He was not really good at lecturing. He could teach these children how to kill G.o.ds and devils in the market in the future. Or if you wanted to take the a.s.sa.s.sin killer route in the future, Master Su personally thought he could be a good teacher in this area.
The cla.s.sroom immediately quietened down, some people had gradually found that the man sitting behind the desk at the moment was Mr. Su. Two months without seeing Mr. Su and he already gave them a completely different feeling. Students who originally wanted to go forward to congratulate Mr. Su on coming back and comfort him, at the moment were pressed down by some unspeakable power. The mood was inexplicably tense.
“Self-study.”
After dropping two words, Su Bai no longer cared for the students, took out his mobile phone and opened the stock market interface. Hurricane Entertainment"s share price fell sharply because of some negative news in the earlier period. After the sharp drop, it had been idle in a certain area recently. The trend of two-day positive lines and one-day negative line formed a bottom standard. It is undeniable to say that their secrecy has been very tight, and so far there was no news about Hurricane"s reorganization in the market.
Su Bai tapped on the screen several times to buy some stocks. Although the price of Hurricane"s stocks has been hovering at the bottom these days, a closer look will reveal that its turnover has been enlarged compared to previous years. With low-quality warehouses built, the dealers suck the goods. If Su Bai guessed well, in a few days the Hurricane"s stock price will fall sharply and cleaning of the bottom levels will occur, followed by a month with the higher management of Hurricane releasing restructuring news. Then these stocks of Hurricane will only come to a few trading boards, investors blindly chasing after retail will die.
The purpose of choosing to operate Hurricane"s stocks was not to make money. Su Bai just wanted to see what Chen Yuan could do. Compared with stocks, future options of future goods are the real e-heroin that can make people rich or ruin their fortunes overnight, while making it difficult to get rid of.
After a glance at the recent uncertain options for trading, Mr. Su eventually opted for a more secure treasury bond with reverse repurchasing, and created 100 hands of 204003. Su Bai did not have much time and energy to keep a close eye on the market every day.
When Su Bai finished the operations of funds and had read all kinds of financial and economic international news he bought on the way to work, cla.s.s had just ended.
Packing up his things, with no lessons afterward Master Su did not intend to go home, he had prepared to visit the school, and then go to the library of B University for an afternoon tea reading. The work-leisure combination was the way to maintain health.
“I thought you"d never come back to school again.” With his hands in his trouser pockets, Liu Yunsheng stood beside the podium platform.
As soon as the bell rang, the students all flew out, one by one like escaping from h.e.l.l. When Su leisurely gathered his things and prepared to leave, there was almost no one left in the cla.s.sroom. He did not know when Liu Yunsheng appeared in front of him, and Liu Yunsheng was not part of Su Bai"s cla.s.s today.
Su Bai glanced at Liu Yunsheng casually and walked towards the cla.s.sroom door with his textbooks. He bet Liu Yunsheng would not dare to do anything to him in school. If Liu Yunsheng dared to do something, Su Bai would not mind practicing his boxing with this man.
“Where"s your flower protector? Also don"t see how they"re like, not knowing they"ve been played by others. Not a single sense of self-awareness.” Liu Yunsheng"s sarcastic voice sounded behind Su Bai, and Master Su smiled indifferently, ignoring his words.
Liu Yunsheng was just like a child who had lost his toy putting on a tantrum. Ignoring was the best and most direct way to deal with these people who tried to attract attention.
Why are there such cheap people in the world? Only cherishing when it was gone, the harm once caused had been as indelible as scars.
There was a sudden sourness in Su Mo"s chest as if to remind the body of Su Mo"s dismal memories that had all kinds of injuries. It was Liu Yunsheng who constantly neglected Su Mo, now, it is up to Su Bai to punish Liu Yunsheng, better than the physical pain, the pain of the soul was much deeper.
Although weight loss was necessary, nourishment was also extremely important. After leaving the building, Su Bai went to drink a bowl of porridge.
B University was a large campus with a strong academic atmosphere. The trees on both sides of the avenue had thick trunks, and the dense branches intertwined to form a natural sunshade barrier. The falling leaves in the warm wind told the long history of the campus silently. At that moment, with quiet and peaceful, the warm light obliquely shining from the leaves fell gently on people"s shoulders.
Su Bai stood quietly under a tree and was bewitched to close his eyes. His ears seemed to have heard the song 《Farewell My Concubine》 floating from afar. That man wearing a moon-white gown, with a folding fan that was unfolding between his fingers. With a light turn, like smoke and mist, under the folding fan was a face like a mesmerizing ink painting. The eyes of Su Bai swirled with sorrow that was too strong to melt.
The Lin Fan at that time, was really beautiful.
At that time, Su Bai always liked to quietly look at the man singing in the shade, his heart full of peace and tranquility.
Since leaving the age of pa.s.sion, Su Ye had a fondness for immersing himself in his own beautiful world. What he disliked most was someone suddenly disturbing him when he crocheted beautiful dream paintings. The old man seldom had a liking for self-entertainment, but someone just had to disturb him.
“He he.”
A low laugh, not very loud, but because of its close proximity, it let Su Bai suddenly wake up and open his eyes. All of a sudden, a man too close to him broke into his vision. Su Bai instinctively stabilized his body and did not retreat, Master Su"s life dictionary had yet to possess the word “retreat”.
This was a very handsome man with a pair of beast-like, ferocious eyes. Every place on his sharp face looked to be chiseled under the winds and frost. Wild, restraining, sensual. His body of priceless clothing looked so out of place within the campus yet so inexplicably attractive. Like a black leopard quietly squinting and waiting for the prey to be hooked, and in an instant, he would stretch out his sharp claws and tear them apart.
Such a person, whether with men or women, was fatally attractive.
There was only one word that Su Bai could see from Tang Xiao — Dangerous.
T/N: Fish had some trouble translating this chapter, with all those stock market processes and terms @[email protected]
…
It has been brought to Fish"s attention that RMS"s story may resemble another novel, Rebirth of Chen An, quite closely.
Fish cannot comment much, as Fish has never read Chen An before. But Fish can only say that RMS is 1VS1 only! HE! No NP! No harems! Fish has read the synopsis of Chen An because a reader mentioned its name, and Fish was also very surprised at the similarities! But Fish hasn"t read the story, because it is a harem ( ´•̥̥̥ω•̥̥̥` )…
Additionally, Fish wishes to address another thing… Fish is really happy people are enjoying the story and Fish"s translations, but Fish recently found a number of novel websites that have reuploaded Fish"s translations on their own hosting domains…
Fish just hopes everyone will read Fish"s translations on Fish"s own website! The traffic lets Fish know of your support and this encourages Fish to work even harder, after all ╰(⸝⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝⸝)╯
Nevertheless, Fish hopes everyone has a great reading experience~ ╰(￣ω￣ｏ)
the author seems to have given up on chapter t.i.tles… owo
