DF Chapter 19

Chapter 19: So, she can also have such worries.

Sheng Jia wasn’t prepared to meet Song Ningqiu.

In fact, what preparation would even be necessary? At most, she would just catch a glimpse of her from afar.

But knowing that she could see this woman in person, her heart still couldn’t help but pound.

—Filled with an indescribable anticipation and trepidation.

She first saw Song Ningqiu’s information in the newspaper, a very old newspaper. Back in 2011 or 2012, Sheng Huaiying had used a newspaper to wrap her fried dough sticks, and that newspaper carried a report about Song Ningqiu.

That year, she led her team to invest in and build a South American R&D base, and in the same year, she led a team to participate in the highly anticipated Indonesian earthquake relief effort. This became the first step for her to completely control Song’s Heavy Industry, and it was considered perfect.

At that time, Sheng Jia was only five years old, just at the age of recognizing a few thousand characters. After Sheng Huaiying gave her the fried dough sticks, she threw her into kindergarten. She sat alone in a corner, staring at the paper on the fried dough sticks.

The kindergarten teacher was a very gentle person, a young woman who had just graduated from university. She put twelve points of energy and patience into each child. She squatted in front of her and asked what she was doing, why wasn’t she eating her breakfast?

Sheng Jia mustered her courage for the first time, clenched the fried dough sticks in her hand, unfolded the newspaper stained with oil, handed it to the teacher, and asked in a low voice, “I want to know what’s written on this.”

The teacher didn’t mind after hearing that, and after reading the contents of the newspaper, she replied, “This is about a woman named Song Ningqiu, who is very powerful. She single-handedly created a career at the age of twenty-nine, and bravely saved hundreds of lives in a disaster. Her future is limitless.”

As she spoke, the teacher seemed to think for a moment, and asked softly, “Does Sheng Jia like her?”

Sheng Jia nodded without thinking.

Her life was filled with violence and indifference. She had never heard of such a shining figure, more lovable than the princesses in the many fairy tales Sheng Huaiying had bought her, like a queen.

The teacher smiled and touched Sheng Jia’s head, “Sheng Jia is a very smart girl, maybe she will be as powerful as Song Ningqiu in the future.”

“But the premise for all this is that you have to eat well and attend classes well, have a healthy body, and have a wealth of knowledge, right? So you have to eat the fried dough sticks in your hand first.”

Whether the teacher was coaxchild or really had high hopes for Sheng Jia, Sheng Jia remembered Song Ningqiu, and really listened to the teacher, eating well and attending classes well.

At that time, Sheng Jia preferred to stay in kindergarten rather than go home, because after the teacher knew her interest, she would help her find information about Song Ningqiu and read it to her, gradually sketching out a full and excellent image of a woman in the bottom of her young child’s heart.

She was the person she yearned for the most at that time.

The five-year-old Sheng Jia also had another wish besides hoping that her mother would be more caring to her—she wanted to become as powerful as Song Ningqiu.

Perhaps when she was so powerful, she could take her mother out of the sea of ​​suffering.

This wish accompanied her for a long time, so long that she got used to looking for Song Ningqiu’s reports every week. In the frequent quarrels that broke out outside the door, she could also calmly go to see what powerful things this woman had done recently.

So long that Sheng Jia’s first childhood wish was gradually smoothed out.

She couldn’t say how much her heart fluctuated when she learned from Song Ji’an that Song Ningqiu might appear at the school.

It was as if the dream she had been pursuing so hard, which was originally out of reach, was about to appear before her eyes at this moment.

This anxiety lasted until the day before the monthly exam summary, when Song Ji’an said to Sheng Jia with some melancholy while lie on the table at Greenery Cafe: “There is a problem with our company’s business. My mother flew to Southeast Asia on a business trip overnight, and she probably won’t be able to make it back tomorrow.”

The heart that had been boiloil for several days gradually cooled down at this moment.

Song Ji’an was still complaining in a low voice: “At most, I haven’t seen her for almost a month and a half. Most of the time, I have video calls, which is so annoying.”

Sheng Jia listened to her silently, and finally put the ice cream she made in front of Song Ji’an.

This is a new product invented by the shop manager, and after teaching Sheng Jia, it is very complicated to make. It is also the most expensive ice cream in the shop after the Mandarin Duck Eye Ice Cream. Sheng Jia can charge 40% of the labor cost for each one she makes.

Song Ji’an is a loyal customer of the store, and she immediately ordered one when she heard about it.

Seeing the azure blue deep-sea whale, she was deeply amazed, and soon threw her casual complaints to the back of her mind.

Song Ji’an’s eating manners were originally gentle and decent, and she ate very appropriately. After playing with Xu Lijing for a long time, she completely abandoned her baggage. According to the shop manager, she ate so fragrantthat she could start a live broadcast of her eating.

Sheng Jia returned to the back kitchen with no expression on her face, only the speed of her work was uncontrollably faster.

So, she can also have such worries.

Sheng Jia ridiculed herself in her heart.

Such disappointment and worry ended until Sheng Jia received her scholarship at the monthly exam summary meeting.

At that time, Song Ji’an, as the second in the grade, stood beside her, smiled and took the scholarship personally awarded by Principal Lu Jing, then tilted her head and winked at Sheng Jia, then leaned over and glanced at her red envelope, lowered her voice and said to her: “Sheng Jia, after class, Zhang Mingyue and the others will definitely run over to urge us to treat them. We have to run faster after the monthly exam meeting is over.”

In fact, the students in Class One usually didn’t dare to joke with Sheng Jia very much, but this time, during the preparation process for the monthly exam, they found that she was not that difficult to approach, and Sheng Jia became a Check-in point for the students in the class.

Every day, there were bets on which person who went to chat with her would be the first to be frowned upon and said, “Don’t bother me.”

Later, Sheng Jia got used to it and never said this sentence again.

But besides herself betting with Class One and Class Two, which refreshed the students’ perception of her and made them feel 친cut, the other half was due to the fact that when the students in the class asked Song Ji’an how she became friends with Sheng Jia, Song Ji’an said very bluntly: “Just chat with her and go out to play together. Sheng Jia is very nice.”

Sheng Jia swore that when she heard Song Ji’an’s words when she brought the information into the classroom, she felt a chill all over her body, feeling like she was being targeted by some trouble.

Later, as expected, more students in the class had a little bit of eagerness to try, even forgetting how Meng Yeran had returned home featherafter wanting to befriend Sheng Jia at the beginning.

No one can get Sheng Jia’s friendship, but it doesn’t mean they won’t take advantage of the crowd to make noise.

Sheng Jia thought so, and a bit of condemnation came out in her eyes.

After receiving it, Song Ji’an couldn’t help but laugh secretly. Taking advantage of the fact that the principal was still giving out bonuses to others, she leaned over and said in Sheng Jia’s ear: “I was wrong. I shouldn’t have said that sentence in the first place. Isn’t this trying to make up for it?”

Sheng Jia didn’t speak, but her eyes were looking for the exit with the fewest people in the auditorium, preparing to escape run away with the second in the grade later.
