It's still the same old saying, the updates of a rogue are up to his family members. The more effort you put in, the more motivation the rogue will have to update.
Whether you are a reader who has been fattened up for a long time, it doesn't matter if you give me some free tickets and collection tickets first, the prodigal son needs to see the extent of support, which also inspires creation.
Facing Feng Siche's persistence, Bai Zhifei didn't say anything more. As long-lost childhood classmates who hadn't seen each other for many years, there were naturally a lot of things to talk about.
Bai Zhi Fei's enthusiasm gradually let Yu Tian know how the brother and sister had been living these years. It was indeed a sad history.
When Bai Zhi Fei was ten years old, two years after Feng Si Zhe went to the UK, a woman came to their uncle's house where Bai Zhi Fei and his sister were living, bringing with her a child. This woman was their uncle's new wife. The arrival of this aunt brought another child, undoubtedly posing challenges for the Bai siblings. She was a somewhat sharp-tongued divorced woman whose presence changed the relatively comfortable life of the Bai siblings. Due to their uncle's incompetence, three years later, just as Bai Zhi Fei had entered junior high school, he was forced to drop out and move out of his uncle's house with his sister Bai Cai Xia, relying on the kindness of street vendors to survive by collecting scraps.
Feng Siche didn't know how Bai Zhifei had gone through all these years, but it was clear that they must have experienced the most difficult days at the bottom of society. "Hmm, Zhifei, don't worry, everything will be alright, everything will be alright." After hearing the story of the Bai siblings, Feng Siche didn't know how to comfort them anymore. At that time, the country was not rich and powerful, many laws and systems were imperfect, and there was no nine-year compulsory education system. It can be said that in society, people like the Bai siblings were not a minority, and some people without a backbone or with incorrect ideologies couldn't bear the hardships of life and might inevitably go astray, becoming thieves or hoodlums who harm social order.
"Haha, actually my siblings and I are doing much better now. We rented a small stall in a commercial market near the Princess Tomb, where we can sell clothes on ordinary days. When there's a good opportunity like the Asian Games opening ceremony, we work hard to queue up for tickets and then resell them to others, earning some intermediary money. At least we don't have to worry about food and drink anymore." White Zhifei seemed to have experienced too many bitter things, but when talking about these things, his face was very natural, without any sense of inferiority due to his background.
"Ah, ah, that's good, that's good." It was said that the Bai siblings were able to support themselves through self-reliance, and Feng Sicheng was clearly delighted.
"Hey, I think the country's situation is getting better and better now, and the economic development prospects are also getting better and better. I'm thinking that once I've saved up enough money, I'll go learn from others and start my own company, choose a good project. And when the time comes, I'll find a good school for my sister to study at, let her study well... Ah, speaking of which, I really owe it to her, because back then we didn't have the money for her to continue studying, she only made it to third grade before dropping out. Sigh!" As soon as White Zhifei mentioned Bai Caixia, he seemed somewhat disheartened, with a hint of self-blame.
"Oh, this won't do. In the future society is a knowledge-based society, if you don't have knowledge then you're in trouble, you'll be eliminated by society." Feng Si Zhe heard that Bai Cai Xia was only at a primary school third grade level and immediately furrowed his brow.
"Feng Siche, if it's not possible, then let Cai Xia sister go to school now, after all, learning things is better early than late. I'll talk to Father about it later, he's a member of the Education Bureau anyway, this kind of thing is easy to handle." Ye Zhong, who was listening clearly to everything on the side, inserted his words, seeing that Feng Siche cared deeply for this old classmate, so he might as well do a favor and help Feng Siche out.
"Good feelings are good." As soon as Ye Zhong said this, Feng Si Zhe hurriedly nodded. "Alright, I'll trouble you with this matter, and about the tuition fees and all that, it's not a problem, I'll take care of it." Feng Si Zhe was delighted to hear that Ye Zhong was willing to help resolve this matter. Although he could easily solve this problem relying on his Zhao family connections, as the saying goes "current officials are better than current managers", if Ye Zhong's family from the education circle were willing to take care of such matters, it would be even better. With their intervention, they would definitely be able to find a good school.
"What? This, this isn't good, is it?" As soon as Feng Si Zhe simply arranged for his sister to enter the school, Bai Zhi Fei's face revealed a look of embarrassment. On one hand, he hoped that his sister could receive better education and become a useful person in society in the future. On the other hand, he also didn't hope that she would leave him now, after all, his clothing business still needed his sister's help at present. Bai Cai Xia was a very beautiful young girl, sometimes she didn't need to say anything, just standing in front of the clothing stall, and in one day, who knows how many more people would be attracted and how much more merchandise would be sold? If his sister wasn't there, Bai Zhi Fei indeed felt some loss in his heart.
