Reborn with a Cell Phone 2007

At the meeting today, Luo Xingyun had dark circles under his eyes and was sleepy the whole time. Ji Shumiao couldn't help it and called him back to scold him.

"Did Zhou Hui take your brain with him when he left? If the workload is too heavy, just let me know and I'll hire someone else. If it's not work, tell me the details. Did you steal cattle or gold bars at night?"

Luo Xingyun rubbed his temple with a tired look on his face: "The Internet cafe is too noisy, and I haven't slept well recently."

Luo Xingyun used his savings to rent a two-story shop, used the first floor as an Internet cafe, and the second floor as a dormitory. He and his "Trend Family" family began to live a loving life.

There is no love between them, but the Internet cafe is really losing money. In addition, the "family members" don't go to work, their days and nights are reversed, and they stay out at night and sleep during the day. All kinds of noises are inevitable at night. At the beginning, they restrained themselves and were careful not to disturb Luo Xingyun's rest, but after a long time, they could no longer restrain themselves.

Ji Shumiao was furious: "This shitty friendship of yours will drag you down sooner or later."

"You are shit!" Luo Xingyun was not convinced. No one could say anything bad about his family and brothers. "Your friendship is noble? How good can your friends be?"

"Me?" Ji Shumiao pointed at himself in disbelief, "Of all my friends, you're the only one who can be called a 'dog friend'!"

"Hmph! That's not necessarily true!" Luo Xingyun walked out with a pout.

"Close down that crappy internet cafe of yours that's losing money as soon as possible!" Ji Shumiao picked up the pen at hand and threw it on the door.

Ji Shumiao sat in the chair angrily and took a long breath, then took out his mobile phone and posted a documentary video of [The Patriarch of the Trendy Family·Hong Qiao] on his Moments.

"Huh, can I make you angry?"

Soon, the clan leader himself came forward, slid down on his knees and begged for mercy.

In order to beg Ji Shumiao to delete the post on WeChat Moments, Luo Xingyun spent a lot of money to order a Japanese takeout for her lunch.

Ji Shumiao snorted: "There is also Qingqing's share."

The takeaway arrived and Luo Xingyun presented it with both hands. Ji Shumiao then deleted the video leisurely and kicked the annoying person out of his office.

Ji Shumiao and Qingqing complained about Luo Xingyun while eating lunch: "Others have been taking advantage of him and taking advantage of him completely, but he still thinks that others are asking him for help because they think highly of him. He feels that he has a special sense of responsibility and accomplishment, and that he is proud and has a superior status."

Some people who have climbed up from the bottom of society have this mentality, fearing that they have neglected their friends since they were poor, afraid that others will say that they have changed and forgotten their old friends once they become rich. They are afraid of being criticized, so they try to please others everywhere.

Qingqing: "Like you said, people are the sum of their social relationships. It's hard not to care about other people's views and evaluations."

Ji Shumiao was still a little angry: "When he gets into trouble with these endless bad favors, he will cry."

Qingqing responded by saying yes.

"This sushi is not delicious at all, not even as good as the one you made." Ji Shumiao pouted.

"Then I'll make it for you tomorrow."

"Good~"

Du Zixi, whom she hadn’t seen for a long time, called. As soon as Ji Shumiao picked up the phone, she heard her excited scream: "Miaomiaomiaomiaomiao! Is Qingqing next to you? Ahhhhhh! I’m in the finals! I’m in the finals!!!"

Ji Shumiao and Qingqing were both happy for her and congratulated her. Du Zixi had prepared for this piano competition for a long time. After the high school entrance examination, she only slept four hours a day and practiced the piano as soon as she opened her eyes.

Du Zixi calmed down a little: "The finals will be held on the 18th of this month in Shanghai. Can you guys go and cheer for me?"

Ji Shumiao: "Number 18..."

Qingqing was flipping through her small notebook which contained Ji Shumiao's itinerary. After reading it, she nodded at Ji Shumiao.

"Please, you are my best friend!" Du Zixi said coquettishly on the other end of the phone, "Please, please, you have to come to this important moment in my life! Otherwise, I will hate you for the rest of my life!"

Ji Shumiao: "Of course I will go. It would be so painful for me if I let you hate me for the rest of your life."

She can also visit the crew and see Xiaoyu at that time.

"Yes!" Du Zixi cheered, "What about Qingqing? What about Qingqing?"

Qingqing: "I'll go too."

"Qingqing kisses me! mua! mua! Mua! Miaomiao kisses me too! Mua! Mua! Mua!"

Du Zixi kissed the person on the other end of the phone repeatedly until her mother called her and then she hung up reluctantly.

Ji Shumiao and Qingqing looked at each other, both feeling a little amused and helpless.

It’s great that my friends are all working hard towards their dreams and goals, and time has not changed them beyond recognition.

Li Xiang is studying abroad this holiday, Han Qi is taking a transition class from junior high school to high school, and Du Zixi is working hard to become a pianist...

Ji Shumiao looked at Qingqing who was tidying up the coffee table and asked, "Do you really have no other dreams? Don't you want to try to find another direction in life?"

Qingqing was stunned for a moment before she realized what she meant and shook her head: "I just want to revolve around you."

Ji Shumiao hugged the pillow and purred like a satisfied cat: "I'm so touched, but I feel sorry for you. Don't you feel regretful?"

"Have I ever told you that I feel safe around you?"

Ji Shumiao chuckled: "No, you speak now, and I will listen now."

Qingqing smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I just feel like I don't have to be afraid of anything when I'm around you. You seem to have magic that can make everyone around you happy."

Ji Shumiao buried his head in the pillow and laughed dully. Qingqing was a little embarrassed and annoyed: "Am I being too cheesy when I say that?"

Ji Shumiao shook his head and looked at her with his eyes wide open: "I will work hard to practice magic, and you will be my guardian."

"it is good!"

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of Du Zixi's piano competition finals. Ji Shumiao and Qingqing went backstage to find Du Zixi.

While Xixi was adjusting her dress, her mother encouraged her: "You must win honor for your mother and give your two aunts a good slap in the face. Let them say all day that you have no talent and that my efforts are in vain."

Xixi was so nervous that she took deep breaths and stretched out her hands to Ji Shumiao and Qingqing: "Sisters, give me some strength."

Ji Shumiao held her hand, interlocking their fingers: "I give it to you, I give it to you, all of it!"

Qingqing also held her hand and comforted her: "Come on, come on, you are the best!"

The competition was about to begin. Ji Shumiao and Qingqing returned to the audience seats, and the host came on stage to read the opening remarks.

"I'm so nervous." Qingqing lowered her voice and said, "I admire Xixi so much. I'm so nervous even as an audience member. If I were to compete on stage, my legs would definitely be so weak that I wouldn't be able to take a single step."

Ji Shumiao also whispered: "Of course, this kind of thing is done step by step. Xixi didn't participate in such a large-scale competition from the beginning."

Du Zixi appeared earlier in the order of appearance. Even though Ji Shumiao was an outsider, he could hear that she had made great progress. She must have put in a lot of effort during this period. He felt more and more sorry for Xixi, wondering how much hardship she had gone through to get to the stage today.

The song is finished and performed perfectly.

Du Zixi stood up to express her gratitude. Looking at her mother and friends who stood up and applauded, she smiled as if relieved, with tears in her eyes.

But it seemed that they were happy too soon, because the next contestant who came on stage made them realize what it meant that "there are always people better than you".

The more she listened, the paler Du Zixi's face became.
