CHAPTER 30: LU FEI
“Correct !”
The old man nodded his head in admiration. This child’spower of observation was amazing, and indeed he had never seen those threepeople.
Soon after, a person appeared from inside and stood in themiddle of the way blocking the three strangers. They seemed to speak a fewwords and was taken inside the alley thereafter.
“Don’t worry about him, he’s meeting someone inside. Youjust need to watch things here. Right, I heard from Liu Biao that you are asenior, what are your plans after graduation?”
“I don’t think that my college’s diploma would be usefulafter graduation, hehe, my dream was toenter on one of the C City’s largest two companies, unfortunately, I heard thatthis two companies have not been recruiting fresh graduates for many years now….”
“Baiyun group and Great Qin International?”
“Yep”
“Hahaha , in this ten years, among a group of people, two ofthem have entered to Great Qin International.” The old man’s eyes appeared tobe smiling.
“Is there a way?” Zhang Yang’s spirit immediately startledas his biggest wish was to enter in these two multinational companies.”
“I don’t know.”
The old man’s face looked mysterious. This led Zhang Yang tobelieve that the old man knows a way to approach this two large companies. Itwasn’t more than twenty years ago when these companies started their businessin C City with large scale recruitment of staff and there are handful of peopleworking there for more than ten years. It is said that as long as you can get intothese two companies, it is equal as entering the gold collar industry. Even thelowest position employee has high benefits which is scary….
“You must know!” Zhang Yang had a strong itch in his heartand said.
“No, forget it!” The old man’s eyes flashed cunningness ashe succeeded in arousing his interest, leaving behind a huge lure for ZhangYang and he believed that Zhang Yang would definitely consider it veryseriously.
“Don’t say ‘forget it’ …. … I have to go ... Song Tao ishere.” Zhang Yang looked depressed, lthough his mind was meticulous, but therewas his clever rival, the old man who has now planted a budding seed in hisheart. The temptation to enter these two large companies was too big, bigenough to have countless fragmentary thoughts that Zhang Yang couldn’t resist.
The old man nodded and reverted his usual cold and detachedform, and closed his eyes to sleep on the couch. Engaging with Zhang yang gavehim a kind of young sensation letting him think of his young frivolous past…..

“Better to read a book …”
Eating on the roadside stalls for his lunch, this lunch boxcosts ten yuan and was really delicious. The food was very rich but the onlyshortcoming on the food was some corner materials. But, of course, this did notaffect Zhang yang’s appet.i.te. Zhang Yang gobbled up until his belly patted uplike a balloon and after that he had nothing else to do except to go to thelibrary.
The library was always mostly packed with people at thattime. Every time Zhang Yang came to the library after noon he had never seenone empty seat.
“Zhang Yang, hereee …..”
Sure enough, as Zhang Yang, Du Xue was also in the library,with books accounted for two seats. Obviously one of the seat was for him andthe other was for Du Xue’s high school friend. Zhang Yang felt very strange asevery time, he sees Du Snow saving a seat for Lu Fei, but he actually has neverseen him come, at least, he hadn’t seen him in that week.
“Thank You, your cla.s.smate?” Zhang Yang sat down and asked,“Why is it that I never seen him come?”
“He … … he doesn’t like reading books in the library … …” DuXue looked at the old maid sitting at the door, and whispered with her smallvoice.
“And still you’re saving him a seat?”
“He said … he said … he might come back …” Du Xue’s face wasred, but Zhang Yang was accustomed to her blush so he wasn’t surprised.
“ … Might … come … …” Zhang Yang was suddenly speechless, itseemed that Du Xue liked that person, otherwise, she wouldn’t have preservedhim a seat just with these words.
“Do you like him?” Zhang Yang lowered his voice. He feltthat the old maid was watching him but he didn’t want to be thrown out from thelibrary.
“No … no.” Du Xue suddenly panicked and became red.
“Oh …”
Zhang Yang was not a fool, naturally Du Xue liked Lu Fei.
He felt the old maid eye’s looking over him again, so ZhangYang did not dare to ask. The old woman do not always look scary but sometimesher eyes looked as sharp as a knife and Zhang Yang was a little afraid of thosekind of eyes. Zhang had a strange but familiar, a kind of contradictory feelingfor this kind of vision as if he had already seen it before.
Soon, Zhang Yang was once again immersed in the vast worldof writing, his mind was travelling to the thousands years of history from topto bottom. Zhang Yang had a very wonderful feeling, it seemed that a mysteriousforce was waving him in but he was unable to find out the reason as the hintwas strange and elusive.
Time pa.s.sed quickly. Zhang Yang was too much invested inreading that he didn’t notice that some person had sat beside Du Xue.
He didn’t even notice that the person had been looking athim.
Zhang Yang had the book “The Art of War” in his hands. Hehad been reading this book for a long time repeatedly for several times. He hadthis feeling that this thin book seemed to hide a number of secrets inside, butunfortunately even after reading the book for five times, he still couldn’tfind the reason which was responsible for that feeling. The book was a modernversion of ordinary printing and could find it on any big bookstores. There wasnothing that surprising between the lines of the book which made Zhang Yangpuzzled.
“Du Xue, are there any cakes? I’m hungry.”
Zhang Yang just stretched his hand without lifting his head,it was his first time asking Du Xue for food.
He was sensing a different kind of feeling from this book “TheArt Of War”. He had read almost everyword of the book several times, including the punctuation marks thoroughly.
Although Zhang Yang did not have any relation with the book,somewhere it seemed that an invisible force was summoning him to stay, andunder the call of this force an unbearable hunger aroused which led Zhang Yangto immediately think of Du Xue with the cake.
Silence
“Du …”
Zhang Yang looked up and immediately he shut his mouthbecause he saw an evil little face. It was Lu Fei. Lu Fei was holding the cakein his hands and seeing Zhang Yang looking at him, he bite a mouthful of thecake with a faint smile on his face …….
