Chapter Ninety-Two – The College Entrance Exam

After their meeting, though they still didn’t have much time to spend the night together, Ning Fei and Duan Yunhong’s text message and phone contact returned to normal.

No more accidents happened on Lin Shengjia’s side either. He was completely immersed in preparing for the exam, and the Lin family was also fully supporting him, with no one having the spare energy to worry about anything else. Lin Shengjia listened, so Ning Fei was able to save worry and effort. In fact, Ning Fei felt that Lin Shengjia’s grades had reached his limit. If he wanted some “extraordinary performance” or “miracle,” he could only rely on Ning Fei to predict the trends. But even Ning Fei couldn’t guarantee one hundred percent that he would guess the direction correctly. So the teacher and student could only guess and train, and then see how their luck was.

Before the college entrance exam really came, there was a bit of a situation on Ji Xingzhe’s side instead.

A month before the exam, Ji Xingzhe suddenly started asking for leave.

Although it was a sick leave, the teachers were discussing in private that the Ji family must have hired a famous tutor to help him cram at home, so he simply didn’t come to school. Anyway, in the last month, the school wouldn’t teach any new knowledge. Ning Fei initially thought so too, but when he chatted with Duan Yunhong about this matter casually, Duan Yunhong gave another answer.

He said, “Oh, him? It really is a sick leave.”

“…Hmm?” Ning Fei became interested. “What disease?”

“Mentally ill.” Duan Yunhong replied calmly, “Urticaria, insomnia, trance. The psychologist said it was caused by excessive study pressure.”

“They even saw a psychologist, the Ji family is really fashionable.” Ning Fei joked, “And then? Did they really let him rest completely because of this?”

“How is that possible? The Ji family won’t allow their children to avoid the college entrance exam. Especially since Ji Xingzhe’s good grades have already been publicized to everyone, how could Ji Zhenwei let Ji Xingzhe not take the college entrance exam?” Duan Yunhong replied, “Even the psychologist was hired by Ji Yuechi, Ji Zhenwei and Tang Huilan don’t have this kind of awareness. And they also hired a tutor for Ji Xingzhe to review at home, so even if he doesn’t go to school, Ji Xingzhe can’t escape the review.”

“I knew it, even if he asks for leave, he still has to study and take the college entrance exam. Who told him to have such good grades? He also rejected the opportunity to go abroad. Ji Zhenwei values face above all else, he won’t let him go.” Ning Fei paused, and then asked, “But, is it really just because of the pressure of studying? Could it be because you told him ‘we’ll talk after the college entrance exam,’ and he’s been racking his brains about it? Could it be that he can’t think of any other way, so he thinks that as long as he doesn’t take the college entrance exam, you won’t mess with him?”

“I said ‘you,’ but I didn’t only mean him.” Duan Yunhong smiled, revealing a sense of coldness. “Then do I need to give him a call and tell him, ‘It’s useless for you to avoid the college entrance exam, I’ll still talk to your dad’?”

“No, I’m afraid he’ll directly come to school and stab someone.” Ning Fei also smiled silently. “By the way, Ji Yuechi is messing around in Shenzhen, doesn’t Ji Zhenwei know?”

“He doesn’t dare to come himself, so Ji Yuechi is naturally lawless. Want me to expose this?”

“Not yet. If you expose it, Ji Zhenwei will call him back to Nancheng, giving Ji Xingzhe one more helper.” Ning Fei said quietly, “Being isolated and helpless is the best situation for Ji Xingzhe.”

Duan Yunhong commented, “You are cold to transmigrators, and even more ruthless to those who affect your completion of the task.”

Ning Fei didn’t deny it, and only replied, “You don’t seem to have the qualifications to say me. You use the means of manipulating other people’s lives to change other people’s destinies, so you can’t be considered a good person either.”

The two people’s evaluations of each other weren’t very pleasant, but they didn’t refute each other, and hung up the phone with their own thoughts.

Life went on as usual, and finally, the day of the college entrance exam arrived.

The Lin family made complete preparations, but in the end, it was Duan Yunhong’s car that was responsible for picking up and dropping off Lin Shengjia for the exam. The whole family went to scout the location in advance, confirming the things to bring for the college entrance exam over and over again. The Lin couple even took two days off to accompany him throughout the exam. Coincidentally, Lin Shengjia and Ji Xingzhe actually drew to be in the same classroom exam room. This made Ning Fei tell Lin Shengjia over and over again to come out quickly after the exam and stay away from Ji Xingzhe.

Fortunately, Ji Xingzhe didn’t do anything during this period. He didn’t dare to either. The college entrance exam is a major event of national concern. If he made trouble in the college entrance exam room, then there would be no need to wait for Duan Yunhong to do anything. Ji Zhenwei would directly descend thunderous rage on him—after all, losing face to the whole country would be the same as taking his life for Ji Zhenwei.

There was no rest after the college entrance exam, and they directly estimated the scores. This year, the volunteers were filled out before the scores came out, so the risk was very high. Therefore, Ning Fei privately re-checked the estimated scores with Lin Shengjia, and then recommended several alternative universities to the Lin family before finally deciding on the target university.

When he went to the school to register his volunteers, Lin Shengjia’s steps were a little unsteady when he came out. He grabbed Ning Fei’s wrist, as if looking for a support, and exclaimed, “I actually filled in that famous school, my god, I never even thought about it in my previous life!”

“If you didn’t fill in that university, then I really don’t know what I’ve been wasting almost two years doing with you.” Ning Fei was calm as usual, “The universities I applied for you are all in the south, and the first choice is in the city next to Shenzhen, which is convenient for you to develop your career in the future. A good hand, whether you’ll mess it up later depends on yourself.”

Although Lin Shengjia usually shouted “business world” all day long, he didn’t know how to manage at all. He couldn’t help but feel a little numb when he heard Ning Fei’s words. He quickly asked, “Didn’t you say you’d take me to Shenzhen? When are we going?”

Ning Fei glanced at him, “Going to Shenzhen is not for fun.”

Lin Shengjia said, “Of course I know. I’ve been a worker in my previous life, so I know that learning in the workplace is completely different from learning in school. I will listen to Director Duan’s command.”

Ning Fei chuckled, “It’s rare that you actually want to study on your own initiative.”

“…After all, it involves money, uh, it involves my future, so of course I have to pay attention.” Lin Shengjia said awkwardly, “So, will you really take me?”

“Go after your grades come out. Then come back once to get your admission notice, and come back once more before the start of school to prepare for school.” Ning Fei said, “Go back and tell your parents about this tonight.”

Lin Shengjia clicked his tongue, “So many trips back and forth, the airfare is so expensive! My family will definitely hesitate… You and Director Duan will help me pay for it, right?”

Ning Fei: “Use your salary as an intern assistant to offset it.”

Lin Shengjia: “…So I’m going to be a free laborer?”

Ning Fei: “Director Duan’s super master class, which also includes food, accommodation, and round-trip airfare, is already eight lifetimes of luck that you’re not charged money, what else do you want?”

“…” Lin Shengjia couldn’t argue, and could only say, “Okay, then let’s go to my house for dinner now? Just you, or is Director Duan coming too?”

“We can go now, but shouldn’t you let go?” Ning Fei lowered his eyes and scanned the hand that the other party was holding on his wrist. “Is it that you don’t think the gossips about us at school is messy enough?”

“What can those gossips do to me? Besides, the exam is already over. Besides, even if there’s really something between us, I won’t lose out…” Lin Shengjia joked while letting go of him. After all, he was an adult inside, so he could say anything. However, his voice gradually lowered as he spoke with great interest. Because the two had already walked to the side of the car, and the car window in the back seat was actually lowered, and it was clear at a glance that there was an unusual situation.

Ning Fei bent down and poked his head in, and sure enough: “Yo, Director Duan is back? Personally here to pick up our future college student?”

Duan Yunhong’s expression was indifferent: “Hurry up and get in and close the window, don’t you think it’s hot?”

“Haha, you should learn the shorts and slippers style of Shenzhen, relaxed and cool.” Ning Fei didn’t say “It wasn’t me who opened the car window,” but only got into the car with a smile and sat in the back seat with Duan Yunhong. Lin Shengjia greeted him and then got into the passenger seat very obediently, and reduced his presence.

The car started, and Ning Fei glanced at Duan Yunhong’s cold face, and chatted casually: “We’re going to the Lin family for dinner tonight, you remember, right?”

Duan Yunhong: “Mm.”

Ning Fei also said, “It mainly depends on you to convince his parents, it’s not convenient for me to interrupt.”

Duan Yunhong: “Mm.”

Two consecutive indifferent “Mm”s finally made Ning Fei realize that this person seemed to be really unhappy.

——Sure enough, he saw the scene where I and Lin Shengjia “held hands” and walked over just now, right?

——I’m so wronged.

But Ning Fei didn’t think there was anything to explain. He only silently reached out his hand, grabbed the man’s big hand, dragged it to the middle of the seat, and gently scratched the other’s palm with his fingertips.

Duan Yunhong looked out the window without turning his head, but shook his hand and pressed the hand that was making trouble.

The persuasion process doesn’t need to be repeated, everything went smoothly.

Soon, the college entrance exam scores came out. Lin Shengjia went to the school to get his score slip, and when he received the slip from the smiling head teacher, he felt very complicated. He saw the score at a glance, and was naturally very excited. But under the excitement, a kind of “as expected” thought emerged.

His total score was only 4 points away from Ning Fei’s later re-deliberated estimate.

Ning Fei’s style of step-by-step operation, and the inevitable occurrence of whatever he predicted, gave Lin Shengjia a sense of security for no reason. Causing him to have only one thought about college admission in his mind when he got the score: Stable.

Sure enough, Lin Shengjia took the score slip to show Ning Fei, and Ning Fei’s reaction was also ordinary: “Mm, the estimate is quite accurate, the school should be no problem either.”

Lin Shengjia said: “Don’t you have any other reaction? I’m a super comeback, aren’t you excited?”

“What’s there to be excited about? Isn’t your progress created by me step by step, and I witnessed the whole process with my own eyes?” Ning Fei asked back, “Moreover, do you think this is the end? This is just the beginning, a bigger challenge is waiting for you, pack your bags and go to Shenzhen to work for nothing.”

Lin Shengjia: “…Thank you for the cold water, I’m not excited anymore.”

In short, the Lin family gathered together and happily ate a meal, and Lin Shengjia followed Duan Yunhong to Shenzhen, becoming Duan Yunhong’s “little tail.” He didn’t have the ability to directly be Duan Yunhong’s secretary yet, and he couldn’t understand when he was asked to read the company’s annual report and plan. Therefore, he could only be a handyman first, and try to keep up with Duan Yunhong’s pace and learn more in his daily life. Lin Shengjia felt that Duan Yunhong was like his boss in his previous life, and a glance over would make people feel drum in their hearts. If Duan Yunhong told him to go east, he wouldn’t dare to look west.

Of course, it may not be that Ning Fei has completely PUA him, and he has become accustomed to listening to these two people.

And Duan Yunhong didn’t hide anything from Ji Yuechi, and brought Lin Shengjia with him when he went to the Ji family company. When Ji Yuechi saw Lin Shengjia in person for the first time, his first reaction was “He really looks like my dad,” and his second reaction was “What is he doing here?”

Duan Yunhong replied concisely: “I’m optimistic about his ability, so I brought him here to train.”

Ji Yuechi didn’t take it seriously: “He’s just a high school graduate, even if his grades are good, it doesn’t mean anything. It’s better for you, uncle, to bring him than to bring Xiao Zhe.”

“I gave Xiao Zhe a chance, but he didn’t come himself. Or do you want to ask him the reason?” Duan Yunhong smiled noncommittally, “Moreover, the people I bring myself will be used in my own company in the future, and will not be arranged in the Ji family’s industry.”

“Your own company, uncle, is not small either. This kid is just getting promoted to heaven…” Ji Yuechi still spoke with disdain, and then talked about his younger brother, “But that’s also true, Xiao Zhe said he didn’t want to come, and didn’t even want to go on vacation during this holiday, he’s too attached to home. He’s so timid, I guess he’s not suitable to manage the company in the future, let’s see what he wants to do.”

——He just wants to be a rotten root planted in the Ji family’s parasitic plant.

Duan Yunhong answered in his heart, but didn’t say anything on the surface. It was just right that Ji Yuechi didn’t take Lin Shengjia seriously, so he didn’t have to help Lin Shengjia deal with Ji Yuechi. If he couldn’t even protect this little brat, not to mention how Ning Fei would force him, Duan Yunhong himself would find it ridiculous.

Oh right, Ji Xingzhe’s grades were also okay, the score was a dozen points lower than estimated, but it was also a normal performance. On the day the Ji family knew the score, he watched the Ji family couple’s satisfied appearance, and waited in fear for Duan Yunhong to do something. But Duan Yunhong, who was far away in Shenzhen, didn’t do anything, and was as quiet as if he had forgotten about it. Only Ji Yuechi gave him a call to congratulate him, and also said that he would bring gifts back to help celebrate after he was admitted.

Finally, the admission notices flew to the school one after another, and Ji Xingzhe brought his share back as well.

——He was admitted to a pretty good university in Nancheng, which was exactly what Ji Xingzhe wanted.

The next day, just when Tang Huilan and Ji Zhenwei were discussing how big a celebration banquet to hold, Duan Yunhong returned to Nancheng.
