Double Life: My whole world is you

"Ah?" Hu Xiuzhu seemed not to have expected him to say that. He came to his senses and said casually, "Coke will do."

"Okay, Yan Di, you should drink mineral water." Cheng Qiao smiled and walked towards the convenience store outside the school gate.

Zhang Yandi took Hu Xiuzhu to sit down in the small pavilion first. Cheng Qiao ran over and soon followed. She handed the Coke to Hu Xiuzhu, handed one of the two bottles of mineral water in her hand to Zhang Yandi, and opened the other bottle and drank half of it. She was indeed thirsty from running so fast.

Seeing this, Hu Xiuzhu also opened the bottle cap and took two sips before looking at the two and asking again, "What do you want from me?"

Cheng Qiao glanced at Zhang Yandi, who motioned Cheng Qiao to calm down. He smiled and said, "Class monitor, this is what's going on. Qiao is the deputy propaganda director of the society. New Year's Day is the eleventh anniversary of the school, and she needs to host the school anniversary activities. Each class needs to perform a few programs."

"There should be no problem with our class's program, right?" Hu Xiuzhu said, "You guys can easily put on a few programs."

"We don't have enough experience and don't have any good programs, so we still need your help." Zhang Yandi thought for a while and then said, "It would be even better if we could encourage other classes to participate."

After Zhang Yandi finished speaking, Hu Xiuzhu pushed up his glasses with a smile, "I understand."

"Will the squad leader help?" Zhang Yandi asked again.

Hu Xiuzhu stood up and waved the Coke in his hand, "Your Coke is not for nothing."

"Thank you, monitor." Zhang Yandi also stood up and said gently, "The school requires us to submit an activity plan this Friday."

"I got it. I'll go look for them first." Hu Xiuzhu said and left with the Coke.

Cheng Qiao frowned as she watched him leave. She asked worriedly, "Is he reliable?"

"He is also the squad leader, and he is easier to communicate with than us." Zhang Yandi comforted her.

"But, Yan Di, I trusted him at first, but I was cheated once." Cheng Qiao said with some concern.

"Let's wait and see in two days. If it fails, we won't suffer any loss, right?" Zhang Yandi looked at her and asked with a smile.

"That's right." Cheng Qiao nodded, "I just thought too much."

"Let's put this matter aside for two days. We'll ask him again on Friday." As they walked towards the classroom building, Zhang Yandi said to her, "We still need to focus on studying."

"Okay, you're right." Cheng Qiao nodded. If this activity doesn't go well, it will be over, but she will have to compete with the group of people in No. 1 Middle School for grades. The most important thing for her is to study! After thinking this through, she put it aside for the time being and returned to the classroom to start doing exercises...

In the past two days, Cheng Qiao couldn't help but keep concerned about Hu Xiuzhu's movements, but he seemed to be very busy these two days. He was almost never in the classroom except during class time, so she couldn't tell what was going on, and didn't know if he could get it done. In fact, Cheng Qiao was still a little worried.

On Thursday afternoon, when they were having lunch together, Cheng Qiao received a call from the appraisal center that Zhang Yandi had introduced to her. The appraisal showed that the vase was from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and the lowest estimated value was 100,000. Cheng Qiao couldn't help but tremble when she heard the news. 100,000! Their family didn't have any property. After calming down for a minute, she said to the other party, "Okay, please come with us on Saturday afternoon."

When Cheng's mother saw her hang up the phone, she quickly asked, "How is it? How much is it?"

"One hundred thousand." Cheng Qiao answered calmly. Cheng Ma dropped the chopsticks in her hand and muttered, "What should I do? What should I do?"

Cheng Qiao put down the bowl in her hand, calmed herself down, grabbed Cheng Ma's hand and comforted her, "Mom, don't worry, we can handle it."

"Yes, Aunt Wang, it's okay. My dad will be back in two days. Ask him to go with you then." Zhang Yandi also comforted her.

Cheng's mother was still immersed in her own sorrow. Cheng Qiao comforted her softly, "Mom, it's only 100,000 yuan. You still have me and my brother. We can definitely pay it back."

It took Cheng's mother a while to get over her sadness. Cheng Qiao calmed down and analyzed, "Mom, the company that let you do this should also bear half of the responsibility. One hundred thousand yuan, we will each pay half, so we will pay fifty thousand."

"Ah? The company where I work?" Cheng's mother was a little embarrassed. "They only let me do this job because of my relatives. It's not good for them to bear this responsibility, right?"

"The company they hired was not standardized, which was their fault." Cheng Qiao said calmly, "They must bear the responsibility they should bear."

"Let me think about it again. I always feel that we can't do this." Cheng's mother lowered her head but still did not give in.

In fact, the third-party labor service company was just a distant relative of theirs. The boss of that company was the niece of the mother-in-law of the sister of the wife of a cousin in the Wangjiawan clan. Cheng Qiao knew that she was considering the face of the cousin in Wangjiawan. After all, Cheng's mother wanted to cherish the boss who could let them work. But this 100,000 is not a small amount after all.

After dinner, Cheng Zhu and Zhang Yandi cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them. Cheng Qiao took Cheng's mother to the room to rest for a while. Cheng's mother was uneasy. Finally, the two of them sent her to take the bus before going to school.

"Qiao, don't worry, my father will be back on Friday night." Zhang Yandi comforted Cheng Qiao when he saw the sad look on her face.

Cheng Qiao forced a smile, "Yan Di, thank you."

"Don't worry too much about the money..." Zhang Yandi had just finished speaking when Wu Qi rushed over and asked, "What money? How could you two be so dishonest? You left early without even telling me."

Cheng Qiao just turned around and nodded reluctantly. Her money-making plan was imminent, but the school anniversary event was stuck. It had to be put on the agenda after New Year's Day...

Hu Xiuzhu had not given accurate information until Friday afternoon. Cheng Qiao could no longer sit still and came to his seat to ask directly, "How is it going? The school is waiting for me to submit my proposal!"

He pushed his glasses with his right hand and gave Cheng Qiao a reassuring smile, "Tell the school that you will give them a detailed plan next Monday. I will have dinner with a few class leaders on Saturday, and report back to you after we have discussed the program in detail."

"Are the other classes willing to perform?" Cheng Qiao frowned in joy. This was the best news this week.

"Of course, otherwise you would think I have been running around for nothing these days!" He smiled confidently, "It's just that the specific program has not been determined yet, so I haven't told you yet."

"Okay, thank you, Hu Xiuzhuo." Cheng Qiao happily bowed to him 90 degrees.

"You're welcome. Wait for our good news on Monday." Hu Xiuzhu said, nodding slightly at her and sitting down.

Cheng Qiao happily returned to her seat and made an OK gesture to the others. Wang Yanmei behind her was delighted, "Cheng Qiao, can we not rehearse the dance? It's so tiring! I always feel like I don't have the talent for dancing."
