Chapter 127 Goodbye, Friends

Wang Ruizhe left with Bi Datou and his wife. He originally wanted to stay a few more days, but Uncle Datou "concerned" him and was worried that he would miss work, so they left together.

It seems we need to transfer Bi Lei to Kyoto as soon as possible, otherwise, like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, when will we ever make any progress?

However, knowing Bi Lei's personality, she won't give up until she achieves something here and leads the villagers out of poverty. It seems I need to plan this carefully.

After they left, Bao Yiting was also leaving.

"If you stay any longer, what if your parents catch you red-handed when you go back?"

Bao Yiting pulled a small certificate out of her suitcase.

It's her passport.

"Ta-da! I'm going abroad."

"Travel? Where to?"

With a smug look on her face, Bao Yiting pulled out another piece of paper from her suitcase.

The acceptance letter from Harvard University.

"Seriously, sis! We're all just corporate slaves now, how did you manage to sneak around like this?!"

At this point, Bao Yiting also complained bitterly: "I have taken the exam for three years, and I was only admitted this year. It is too difficult to get in."

The main problem is that in the past few years, she has had to work and has been away from the campus environment, so it's difficult for her to settle down and study. All sorts of other things take up too much of her energy.

"Do you have enough money?" Bi Lei knew that Haha Buddha's tuition was not a small amount.

"I can't just be a slave for a few years for nothing, this is enough! Now I can finally learn something I like."

After she said that, Bi Lei also took a closer look at her admission notice.

School of Education — Human Development and Education

"We've known each other for so long, and I never knew you liked this."

Seeing that Bi Lei looked listless, like a little dog that had been soaked in the rain, she stroked her head a couple of times.

"Nobody knows, it's just something I like. I used to think it was impossible to achieve this wish. So I didn't tell anyone. Be happy for me, you know? I'm also planning to switch fields and study education economics."

"When are you leaving? I'll see you off."

Most mainstream schools start their semester in late August or early September. Most students arrive early to register. However, students like Bao Yiting, who are pursuing continuing education, are in the spring semester, meaning they will begin their studies in mid-January.

Bao Yiting quickly waved her hand: "The holiday is over, aren't you going to the countryside to take care of Lao Deng? It's not like I'm not coming back. Don't see me off! You know I don't like it."

"Old Deng" was an affectionate nickname Bi Lei used for those leaders.

Bao Yiting stuffed her phone into her pocket, waved, picked up her suitcase, and walked out.

Bi Lei was taken aback by the swift and decisive action.

"No, sister, you're leaving now!"

"Goodbye, no time for a handshake!" After saying this, Bao Yiting left Bi Lei with only a graceful back view before disappearing.

Beijing Capital International Airport

Shishi and Fu Yingzhou drove to pick up Wang Ruizhe from the airport.

After coming out, Shishi took the car keys and sat in the driver's seat.

"Today I'm serving two handsome gentlemen. You two have a good chat."

Fu Yingzhou said, "What do we have to talk about? I want to sit with you."

After saying that, he pushed open the passenger door and plopped down in his seat.

"Brother Yingzhou, you're quite the fickle fellow, aren't you?"

"Was the trip smooth?"

Shishi, who was standing next to her, chimed in, "Yeah, how's Leilei doing lately? Is she doing alright over there?"

"I don't think it's very good, but she thinks it's very good."

"Want to come over for a drink? Consider it a welcome-back dinner."

Wang Ruizhe also happened to have something to discuss with her, so he readily agreed.

We had some simple noodles made by Aunt Sun. The three of us chatted in the living room.

Wang Ruizhe: "The situation in the doghouse is not optimistic. This village is mostly left-behind children and elderly people. There is neither arable land nor local delicacies."

Her words made the other two understand. Although Bi Lei appeared innocent and kind, she actually had her own political ambitions. Wasn't her decision to settle here precisely to build a career and use it as a springboard for further advancement?

Now, she only has two ways to leave the doghouse.

Firstly, college graduate village officials have one opportunity to apply for a transfer within three years of completing their term. Secondly, they have the option of promotion.

Whether it's number one or number two, it's related to her political achievements.

This is really difficult to handle, considering both the original owner's memories and her relationship with Bi Lei. Shi Shi knows that this girl is somewhat stubborn and, deep down, probably won't be willing to leave the doghouse in disgrace.

Wang Ruizhe lacked experience in grassroots work, a skill he lacked compared to Fu Yingzhou. He came today seeking advice.

Fu Yingzhou twirled the small teacup in his hand, the fragrance of jasmine filling his nostrils. Recently, Shishi has become obsessed with flower tea, and he has started drinking these fragrant things as well, though he's not quite used to it yet.

"I do have a way. I just don't know how you'll thank me?"

Seeing that he was about to ask for an exorbitant amount, Wang Ruizhe quickly said, "You're not just helping me. If the stronghold can be transferred back to Kyoto, wouldn't your sister-in-law have someone to keep her company?"

Shishi sat to the side, smiling but not saying a word. She wouldn't open her mouth while the brothers were playing their tricks; she would only step in when it was time to help her best friend.

Fu Yingzhou glanced at him: "You brought me a third wheel, and I'm supposed to thank you?"

Seeing that he wouldn't take the bait, Wang Ruizhe, having his weakness exposed, had no choice but to ask him to speak: "I have a piano that was once used by the maestro Paul Péter. I don't like those fine instruments, and having them with me would be like casting pearls before swine. Why not give it to your sister-in-law? It would be like giving a precious sword to a hero."

They really went all out!

That's why Wang Ruizhe is considered the number one cunning fox in the Pekingese team. If it were just a gift to Fu Yingzhou, this guy would at most accept it and think of a way to break the deadlock. But he catered to Fu Yingzhou's tastes and gave it to Shishi.

Although we haven't had much contact, Shishi is clearly someone who doesn't like owing favors and values ​​reciprocity. Compared to them, she's incredibly kind and innocent.

Shi Shi was about to decline when Fu Yingzhou quickly agreed: "Then I'll thank you for your kindness on behalf of your sister-in-law."

Fu Yingzhou didn't mince words. He said, "Shishi recently opened an influencer company. It has all kinds of live streamers. Some are talented, some are funny, and some are skilled in crafts."

Shishi and Wang Ruizhe are both quick learners: "You mean you want those elderly people and children to film some stories about rural areas and mountains?" Wang Ruizhe said.

Fu Yingzhou shrugged: "There are so many options for filming. You can film the slow-paced lifestyle of the countryside. You can also film the handmade products of the elderly. According to what you said, they are probably used to being frugal. They probably make their own tables, stools, and bamboo baskets whenever possible. Can't you find a few skillful people in a village?"

Li Ziqi!

The name immediately popped into Shishi's mind! She continued, "We're eating zombie meat and pre-cooked dishes now. Cooking in a traditional iron pot in the countryside would definitely attract attention."
