Chapter 119: Winter Break Has Started
It's already the depths of winter, January's cold wind cuts like a knife on people's faces. After a heavy snowfall in recent days, Anping has entered the coldest period of the year. As he sees his classmates and friends one by one board the train to return home, Mo Shaokun knows it's time for him to leave too.
Hei Zi's matter has been resolved, although it's not perfect, but for Hei Zi, isn't this also a perfect ending? He got hurt, but he also reconciled with Yuan Mei because of it. Mo Shao Kun can't forget the gentle gaze Hei Zi gave Yuan Mei when he woke up, without any blame or resentment, only deep affection.
A few days ago, he had a phone call with Hei Zi and learned that Hei Zi has returned to his hometown and his body has basically recovered. Just three days ago, he and Yuan Mei held an engagement ceremony in their small county town, which made many brothers in the dormitory very dissatisfied. How could such a big thing not be notified in advance? Until Hei Zi said that after the new semester starts next year, he will give his brothers a satisfactory explanation, this can be considered as blocking the mouths of the gossipers.
It's no problem if Mo Shaokun comes forward on behalf of the school. Although Hei Zi was given a major demerit for hitting a teacher, it's not a big deal and there's still plenty of time to get rid of the punishment before graduation.
That teacher who was beaten by Hei Zi has now been promoted to deputy director of the Business Administration Department, and it's hard not to say that this beating was quite worth it. Looking at his energetic and spirited appearance every day, Mo Shaokun even wondered if this guy would be grateful to Hei Zi in his heart.
The supermarket made rapid progress, and under the joint efforts of Qin Xuan and Zhang Xiaodong, three stores in Kyoto and three stores in Anping opened simultaneously, with results as expected, every day was crowded with people, and the launch of membership system and shopping cards enabled Sunday Department Store to have a batch of loyal customers in a short period of time, and also raised a lot of cash.
Now the two big bosses have advanced to Haicheng, Dachun, Dongzhou and Rongcheng according to Mo Shaokun's plan. Although the stores are not yet open, the momentum has begun.
It's worth mentioning that Huang Wen had found Mo Shaokun several times before, and because he still had a good impression of Huang Wen, Mo Shaokun didn't give him the cold shoulder. However, he still politely declined Huang Wen's advances. It was clear that Huang Wen was very disappointed, and during their last meeting, he said that if one day Mo Shaokun came to his senses, he could contact him anytime. Mo Shaokun also joked that if one day he had no money to spend, maybe he would consider his suggestion, but would that day really come?
At dawn, Mo Shaokun stood in the courtyard and stretched his waist, with a white misty breath spraying from his mouth, as if announcing how cold the weather was today.
Li Qiang walked in from outside with a breakfast bag, he smiled at Mo Shaokun and raised the bag in his hand: "Today we have steamed buns and tofu pudding, the uncle who sells fried dough sticks didn't come today."
After such a long time of getting along, Mo Shaokun's relationship with Wang Jun and Li Qiang also became more harmonious. Joking around and even playfully teasing each other was a common occurrence. Li Qiang, who usually didn't smile or laugh, would now always show a hint of a smile whenever he saw Mo Shaokun, although it still seemed a bit stiff and awkward, but at least it was progress.
"It doesn't matter what to eat, as long as it's enough." Mo Shaokun said with a smile. He really wasn't picky about food, and sometimes when he was too lazy to go out, he would just cook some noodles and add a few small vegetables to get by.
Back in the house, Wang Jun was called over while reading the newspaper. The three of them sat at the dinner table and ate with gusto. These three guys had an astonishingly large appetite; what they ate for one meal could have fed five other people.
"Jun Ge, Qiang Ge, I'm going to Kyoto this afternoon, you two don't have to follow me. It's almost New Year's in less than a month, you two should go back and see your family too, no need to rush back, spend more time with them." Mo Shaokun said while eating his baozi.
Wang Jun and Li Qiang looked at each other, calculating the days they had not returned home for almost half a year. To say they didn't miss it was false, but with their current identity as Mo Shao Kun's bodyguards, how could they just leave?
"Never mind, I'll just go back with Qiangzi for two days before the New Year." Wang Jun said, and Li Qiang nodded beside him.
Mo Shaokun smiled and shook his head, saying: "You two, I really have nothing to say. Now that you both know my identity, do you think I'll still be in danger if I go to Kyoto and return to the Tang family's mansion? Listen to me, let's take a look."
The two did not speak, but in their hearts they quite agreed with Mo Shaokun's words. After all, he was the eldest young master of the Tang family. In the capital city, who dared to cause trouble for him?
King Jun nodded and said, "Alright, if you have something to attend to, just give us a call and we'll be there in the shortest time possible."
Mo Shaokun smiled and quickly finished his breakfast. He took out two stacks of 100-yuan bills from his bag and placed them in front of the two people, saying: "Don't forget to buy something for your family when you go back."
"Shao Kun, what are you doing?" Wang Jun furrowed his brow as he looked at Mo Shao Kun. After such a long time together, Wang Jun's impression of Mo Shao Kun had undergone a complete reversal, and it could be said that he now regarded Mo Shao Kun as a younger brother-like existence.
"Don't look at me like that, this money isn't for you, it's for my uncle and aunt as a filial gift. You two are just helping to deliver it." Mo Shaokun was very familiar with the temperaments of the two people, so he blocked their retreat first.
"This is not right, we follow you every month and get a good salary. You should take this money back." Wang Jun shook his head in refusal.
"Alright, you old men are so slow and still have the nerve to say that I'm a tough guy from the countryside. You should know that I don't lack money, not only do I not lack it but I also have a lot of it! Since you're following me around, aren't you considered my employees? It's customary to give employees some benefits during holidays, isn't it?" After finishing speaking, Mo Shaokun stood up and left without giving the two men a chance to refuse.
Wang Jun and Li Qiang looked at each other, after a long while both of them smiled wryly and shook their heads, then put the money away.
Returned to the bedroom, picked up the phone and dialed Yinfei's number. It rang for a long time before it was answered.
"What's going on? Why is it so slow?" Mo Shaokun said with some dissatisfaction.
"Hehe, of course I'm looking at the handsome guy! You're so annoying, I was just about to go and chat him up when you called!" came Yin Fei's sweet voice from the other end.
Mo Shaokun's mouth curled up with a hint of a smile, and now his relationship with Yin Fei was no longer what it used to be. Although the two had not yet reached the state of being inseparable, holding hands, finding a secluded spot to hug each other was already quite normal.
Two days ago, Yinfei followed her mother to Jinshan City to visit her grandparents. This is almost a tradition for their family, every year whether it's winter or summer vacation she has to spend the holidays in Jinshan.
Mo Shao Kun felt helpless, and Yin Fei was also helpless. This time again, they wouldn't see each other for a month, which made the two people in love somewhat unacceptable. When sending Yin Fei to the airport, Yin Fei took advantage of her mother's inattention and gave her first kiss to Mo Shao Kun. However, Mo Shao Kun always felt that this was a bit comforting himself. It seemed like saying: Good boy, have some candy, you wait for me here.
At this moment, neither of them would have thought that they wouldn't meet again until a year later...
