Chapter 903: Chapter 885: Sangzhi Family’s Debts Will Soon Be Cleared! (Part 1)
Next Sunday is January 1st, a national holiday.
Because next Monday is January 1st, the holiday schedule next week has been adjusted to Saturday, Sunday, and Monday off.
On New Year’s Day, Huo Feng has a performance.
So, on New Year’s Day, Huo Feng’s schedule follows his performance arrangements.
As of now, Huo Feng doesn’t have any special plans for the following Saturday and the Monday after next.
After chatting with Yan Siyuan, he plans to rearrange and plan for the days when Yan Siyuan and Ye Qingcao come over.
However, he isn’t in the mood to deal with this tonight.
Because his software was deciphered, and he’s in a terrible mood!
So, after trying for a while, Huo Feng felt like his head was going to explode and didn’t want to do anything...
Later, he went to bed early, just said goodnight to Pu Sangzhi, and fell asleep.
...
On the other side, Pu Sangzhi stayed up late tonight.
Since tomorrow is Sunday, Pu Sangzhi doesn’t have anything scheduled, so her energy levels get better as it gets later.
In the dormitory, where the lights are already off, Pu Sangzhi sits at the desk on the lower bunk working on her model.
A not very bright desk lamp illuminates her delicate features and also the architectural model in her hands.
While tinkering with the architectural model, Pu Sangzhi watches her own designed 3D model images on the computer.
Just as she is intently focused on her work, the phone placed beside her notebook lights up suddenly.
Pu Sangzhi glances down at the phone screen and sees a WeChat message from Ye Xi.
Ye Xi asks her: [How do you plan to spend New Year’s Eve? My sister says she’s coming over, are we celebrating it together?]
Since the last time Pu Sangzhi, Huo Feng, and Ye Xi had dinner together, Ye Xi hasn’t really contacted her.
Pu Sangzhi also tries her best not to contact Ye Xi.
Honestly, since Pu Sangzhi learned that Ye Xi has romantic feelings for her, she has been trying not to think about Ye Xi too much.
Not just because Ye Xi likes her, but also because of Ye Xi as a person, she doesn’t dare to think about.
She and Ye Xi have a solid childhood friendship. The kind of relationship that is like both siblings and friends can easily change.
A wrong thought could change it into something romantic...
Now that she is with Huo Feng, Pu Sangzhi firmly defines her relationship with Ye Xi as a sibling-like bond.
But Ye Xi’s feelings towards her...
Pu Sangzhi doesn’t know if it has already returned to the right track.
She stared at Ye Xi’s simple text message for a long time...
Perhaps it’s because she thought for a long time, with many considerations...
In the end, she put down her tools, picked up her phone, and replied to Ye Xi on WeChat: [Yes, Brother Ye Xi. Xiaocao is coming next weekend, are we going to celebrate the small New Year together?]
Though she asked this, Pu Sangzhi thought bringing along Brother Ye Xi might not be appropriate...
If they celebrate New Year’s together, then it would be two couples: Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng, and Ye Qingcao and Yan Siyuan.
Plus Ye Xi, who would be alone, Pu Sangzhi worried it might be awkward for him...
A little while later, Ye Xi sent a reply, also asking: [How many people will be there on your side?]
Just by this question, Pu Sangzhi can sense that he is also being sensitive...
The relationship, which was fine before, somehow ended up like this, and Pu Sangzhi doesn’t know why.
Huo Feng and Brother Ye Xi became uncomfortable with each other, and Brother Ye Xi and she also became awkward...
The source might be the feelings between her and Brother Ye Xi have changed somehow?
As long as someone can’t openly face their feelings, this sensitive relationship will change with it.
Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but sigh lightly, continuing to type and send to Ye Xi: [Brother Ye Xi, it should be me and Huo Feng, Xiaocao and her boyfriend, right? Do you have classmates on your side to celebrate the small New Year together?]
A while later, Ye Xi replied, [Probably not. I’ll see when the time comes. If I can’t finish the lab work, I won’t be able to celebrate the small New Year with you all.]
Pu Sangzhi could sense that the lab might be an excuse.
Brother Ye Xi might be looking for a way out for himself...
Pu Sangzhi didn’t expose Ye Xi’s intentions and said: [Brother Ye Xi, you’re really hardworking, busy in the lab even during the small New Year.]
Ye Xi replied: [Actually, it’s fine. The lab work comes in phases, and there’s still some free time.]
Pu Sangzhi replied: [Thank you for your hard work, Brother Ye Xi.]
Ye Xi: [It’s okay, not too hard. By the way, are you going back to Wenzhou for the winter break or to Heilongjiang to see Uncle Yu?]
Pu Sangzhi replied: [I want to visit my parents. Brother Ye Xi, are you going home or staying at school?]
A few minutes later, Ye Xi replied: [I’ll leave school later, not going home, but heading to Heilongjiang to find you guys. I have an internship spot at Uncle Yu’s company to go there and take a look. I’ve acquired some new knowledge recently, and I hope to see if I can help at Uncle Yu’s company.]
Being fellow students from the Tsinghua University Department of Civil Engineering, the knowledge Ye Xi is currently acquiring is certainly more advanced than what Pu Sangzhi’s father learned decades ago.
Ye Xi has always wanted to grasp more emerging cultural trends to bring into the enterprise. He has always wanted to collaborate with Uncle Yu in the future.
With age and his relentless efforts, he is about to achieve his aspirations soon.
After knowing Ye Xi’s goals and thoughts, naturally, Pu Sangzhi feels genuinely happy for him.
She knows Brother Ye Xi has always been someone with clear goals.
It’s from Brother Ye Xi that she learned the values of diligence, self-study, and self-discipline.
All the excellence she possesses today, Brother Ye Xi has had. Because the one who influenced her so much is Ye Xi.
Holding her phone with gratitude, Pu Sangzhi smiled lightly and replied to Ye Xi: [Brother Ye Xi, my dad will definitely be happy if you’re visiting him.]
Over there, Ye Xi read Pu Sangzhi’s reply, smiled while working at his desk, and replied: [I’m also very happy to have such a good elder like Uncle Yu. Sangzhi, you probably don’t know yet, Uncle Yu’s construction company has successfully gone public, becoming a well-known enterprise in Shuangya Mountain. The contract signed with the Shanghai finance company almost covers the debt. Uncle Yu told me last time that once the payment for a batch of projects at the end of the year comes in, the debt will be completely paid off. He also wants me over to celebrate New Year with them.]
"Wow..."
The good news from Ye Xi made Pu Sangzhi exclaim in surprise!
So fast...
She remembers it was during the summer between her junior and senior years in high school that the creditors came to her house.
In the first semester of her senior year, her father returned to her life.
From then until now, it’s only been a bit over two years...
In just over two years, her father managed to bring the company public, and now it’s about to completely clear millions in debt...
Really impressive!
Now, Pu Sangzhi truly understands the reason why her father disappeared from her and her mother’s life during that time...
She guessed he must have been under immense pressure. While dodging debt, he was also researching market trends, planning a comeback...
When he came back in her senior year, in her eyes, he was already a father with ambition and responsibility!
Really fast...
It turns out that for those with capability and strength, a comeback can be that quick...
Pu Sangzhi really admires her father!
The feeling of being debt-free also made Pu Sangzhi at this moment let out a long breath...
The warm yellow desk lamp faintly cast a reflection on her smiling little face as she held her phone, lightly laughed, and replied to Ye Xi: [That’s really great, Brother Ye Xi!]
Pu Sangzhi: [I’m so happy, Brother Ye Xi. I didn’t expect the matter to be resolved this way. Dad is truly amazing!]
From across the phone screen, Ye Xi could tell how delighted Pu Sangzhi was, and he too chuckled because of her happiness, then replied: [Uncle Yu is indeed very impressive, I really admire him.]
Pu Sangzhi: [Yes, me too!]
Ye Xi also said: [Remember last time in Shanghai when Uncle Yu bet his life on a piece of barren land in Shuangya Mountain? The CEO from Shanghai didn’t believe it, but with our repeated assurances, they eventually compromised. All the debt was shouldered by Uncle Yu through an unequal contract. Do you know what I admired most about Uncle Yu then?]
Pu Sangzhi sent: [I don’t know.]
Ye Xi replied to her: [After settling the debts, Uncle Yu kept negotiating with the CEO from Shanghai, using his five-year future plan and expected returns, persuaded the CEO to invest another 2 million to support him. Plus, with the money from my mother’s shoe factory sale, they gathered a 5 million startup fund. In just over two years, Uncle Yu is about to clear all the debts.]
"Wow..." Once again, Pu Sangzhi let out a sigh.
Ye Xi’s long message via WeChat, Pu Sangzhi read it several times over.
She is genuinely, so happy!
