Chapter 1153: Chapter 655: It’s His Turn Now (Part 2)

Wang Longlong: “I know!”

Duan Shigang laughed heartily, as the saying goes, more friends, more paths… maybe when you’re in trouble…

Wang Longlong tentatively said: “Pillow?”

Cui Yu, Meng Gui: “666”

Duan Shigang felt that the brotherhood he valued was being undervalued.

Young people these days!

Unwilling to give up, he gave another example: “I used to work outside, and I deeply know how incredibly difficult it is for ordinary people to get by in society, because resources are limited, like a carrot filling a single hole.”

“So it’s even more important to make friends widely; maybe among your friends, someone will become successful.”

“There are already not many opportunities in society for ordinary people to rise up, so it’s more necessary to rely on friends to guide you.”

Duan Shigang gradually expanded his vision, looking to the future, with a grand narrative: “Ma Shicheng, I often hear that you have talent. Take yourself as an example; can you find an industry in today’s society that allows ordinary people to turn their lives around?”

Cui Yu, disdainfully: “No need for Brother Ma to take action, I can find it myself.”

“What?” Duan Shigang didn’t quite believe it and stared at Cui Yu, expecting his reply.

Zhang Chi, listening nearby, his rice cooker had been at the center of discussion earlier, how did its spotlight vanish all of a sudden?

Cui Yu said: “Massage worker.”

Meng Gui: “Just tell us if it can let ordinary people turn their lives around?”

…

In the middle of the classroom, at the core area of Class 8.

Jiang Yanan glanced around and said: “The students from our class attending the Evergreen Liquid party have all taken leave from evening self-study, just now Dan Kaiquan even helped Guo Kunnan write his test paper.”

Yu Wen saw the photos Dong Qingfeng posted and couldn’t deny her envy: “Several days of events, today is just the first day, Dong Qingfeng said in the afternoon there was a shooting range, but unfortunately, he didn’t get it, there should be even more fun stuff later.”

Jiang Yanan: “Jiang Ning got the spot for the shooting range, but hasn’t shared photos, so we don’t know what it’s like inside.”

Thinking of this, she somewhat admired Jiang Ning; if it were other classmates, they might start showing off immediately, but Jiang Ning rarely did so.

“That’s a gun, you know, most people would probably be scared just seeing it.” Yu Wen said with a smile.

Jiang Yanan: “Jiang Ning definitely wouldn’t be; he’s good at fighting, surely he’s gutsy.”

She had witnessed Jiang Ning’s combat skills firsthand, with clean and decisive moves, he was definitely not someone timid.

“Hey, Qing’e, was Jiang Ning the same in middle school as he is now?” she asked.

Originally, Shen Qing’e was silently listening to their conversation, neither wanting them to bring up Jiang Ning’s past nor able to suppress a subtle anticipation until Jiang Yanan asked, leaving Shen Qing’e with complicated feelings.

Shen Qing’e recalled Jiang Ning in middle school and concluded: “He used to be… quite gentle, rarely fought with anyone.”

Jiang Yanan: “Gentle?”

It didn’t quite match her impression of Jiang Ning, so Jiang Yanan asked again: “Didn’t he ever get into a fight? Isn’t it said that township middle schools were chaotic?”

“Well… very rarely, he had a cousin who opened a barbecue restaurant at the school gate, so he was the type who had backing.” Shen Qing’e said.

Back then, someone who could open a barbecue restaurant at the school gate probably had some connections and knew people from all walks of life.

Many hooligans in town would eat at Jiang Ning’s cousin’s place, and they were usually well-behaved.

Because of this, despite being relatively gentle, Jiang Ning could avoid harassment throughout his three years in middle school.

Shen Qing’e, being close to Jiang Ning, also benefitted from this.

It’s important to know that sometimes, girls with dyed yellow hair could be more troublesome than boys.

Especially for pretty girls like Shen Qing’e, who were easily liked by boys, if unlucky, there might be a boy that a yellow-haired girl liked.

In such a case, Shen Qing’e’s fate wouldn’t be hard to imagine.

In truth, Jiang Ning got into two fights, once during a PE class, when a boy from the next class intentionally kicked a soccer ball at her.

Furious, Jiang Ning stepped in and took on the two boys.

As expected, he didn’t win.

Shen Qing’e even thought he was a bit weak.

As for the second time.

Shen Qing’e responded to Jiang Yanan’s question: “He did.”

Jiang Yanan’s eyes lit up, her tone full of expectation: “Was it really cool? Did he solve it in an instant?”

She had seen Jiang Ning in action before, it was simply artistic!

Shen Qing’e continued to recall, actually, the target of this fight was still the same two boys from last time.

She organized her words, her charming face lighting up a bit: “The township middle school was relatively chaotic.”

“Some soft-natured boys were easily targeted as objects of mockery.”

To say it was mockery is putting it nicely.

Those excessive acts were not just mockery.

“Jiang Ning had a friend who was often teased, one day he was made to eat leftovers, yes, eat leftovers.” Shen Qing’e quietly described.

Whose leftovers were they?

It was self-explanatory.

“Then one day after evening self-study, Jiang Ning sought out the two main boys.”

They were the ones who kicked the ball at Shen Qing’e and the ones doing the teasing.

This time Jiang Ning still took on both, but he learned from experience, “he took a flashlight, like the one Huang Yuzhu used.”

Jiang Yanan knew, that was a strong light flashlight, with a stainless steel exterior, looking like a steel baton.

Shen Qing’e didn’t know the specifics, just remembered seeing the two boys the next day with big bumps on their foreheads.

After hearing Shen Qing’e’s story, Jiang Yanan said: “He actually is quite… just, haha.”

“Did he and that boy become good friends afterwards?” Jiang Yanan asked, after all, he kind of saved him!

Shen Qing’e shook her head: “They got along for a while, then fell out over a small matter.”

Yu Wen, after listening, frowned and unusually spoke a sensible comment, “That boy was really ungrateful, Jiang Ning helped him so much, and in the end, they fell out, ungrateful!”
