Chapter 130 - Notes Part 2

The boxes were quickly unpacked and Shi Jin counted the contents inside. He found that the things Shi Weichong had sent could be roughly divided into three categories: knowledge, wealth, and connections.

It was probably from Lian Jun that Shi Weichong learned about Shi Jin's study of enterprise management. So, he specially organized some practical books, teaching materials, and personal experience notes, and sent them over. He also recommended some good management courses to Shi Jin, each with detailed introduction materials and lecturer information. He said that if Shi Jin was interested, he could contact these lecturers at any time, as he had already made all the arrangements.

In addition, Shi Weichong also brought the profit report of the fund that he and his five brothers had established for Shi Jin, and sent some of the profits along with the report as a birthday gift.

At the end, Shi Jin found a thick stack of materials in the box that was supposed to contain the report. These were all the materials belonging to Shi Weichong's subordinates, who were now scattered throughout various branches and departments of Ruihang, working for Shi Weichong. And now, Shi Weichong had sent their materials to him.

Shi Jin had a thought and picked up the notebook he had started with, flipping to the first page.

[The most important thing to learn in managing a company, besides the basics, is how to manage people's hearts.]

Over there, Liu Yong was holding a very difficult management book, flipping through it with a dumbfounded expression. "Oh my god, all these books are filled with notes, and the important points are highlighted so clearly. He's really dedicated...Shi Jin, are you planning to inherit your family's company after graduation? All these books are about management..."

When his roommates saw the pile of things on the table, they finally realized how different Shi Jin was from them. What Shi Jin had and what he was destined to have in the future were things they could only dream of. The rumors about him were foolish and filled with jealousy.

In reality, Shi Jin had far more than what those rumors claimed, and he was already an outstanding individual with countless people helping him become even better. He was not someone to be envied at all.

Shi Jin quickly closed his notebook and clenched his hand as he looked at the things in front of him. Knowledge, wealth, connections, even life experience, Shi Weichong was slowly pouring his resources and hard work onto him. This wasn't just a birthday gift, it was practically dedicating his entire life to him! After spending so much time in the hospital and resting for so long, is this all he learned and understood?

Suddenly, he felt angry, angry at Shi Weichong and angry at himself. But he quickly realized that this emotion was wrong. He furrowed his brow, took a deep breath, and began to organize these things, preparing to put them all in storage.

Liu Yong and Luo Donghao snapped out of the shock caused by this "high-end and sophisticated" birthday gift. Seeing Shi Jin about to put these things in the storage room, they each grabbed his shoulder.

"Don't put these in the storage room," Liu Yong said, looking at the notebooks filled with notes. "These things are too heavy. It's better to carry them with you. You, organize them and lock them in your own locker."

Luo Donghao also nodded and said, "Some of the information in here is very important. If they get lost or damaged, it would be bad. You should lock them up with you."

Shi Jin was forced to stop his actions. He frowned and looked at the handwritten notes in the box, adjusted his emotions, and let go of his hand. "Okay, I'll listen to you guys."

......

That night, Shi Jin fell asleep in a state of anxiety. The next morning, he woke up feeling bewildered for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief and got out of bed - he hadn't had any dreams or strange memories resurface. That was a relief.

During morning training, Shi Jin noticed that people around him kept glancing over at him and whispering. He furrowed his brow, suppressing his confusion, and waited until training was over to find Liu Yong and Luo Donghao. Together, they went to the cafeteria.

"Why does it seem like everyone is looking at me? Has something else been spread outside because of those deliveries?" Shi Jin asked Liu Yong while making porridge.

Liu Yong snorted and said, "It's all because of your roommates. They blabbed and now everyone in Class 2 and 3 knows about the pile of expensive gifts you received for your birthday. Don't worry about it. They just realized that you really are a walking golden boy and felt jealous."

"What do you mean by 'walking golden boy'? Can't you speak properly?" Shi Jin turned to him, realizing it was all because of his roommates. He understood the situation and felt annoyed.

"By the way, today is your actual birthday, right? Will there be any more deliveries today?" Luo Donghao casually asked.

When Shi Jin heard this, his expression froze. He calculated in his mind and realized that, apart from Rong Zhouzhong who had already sent him a birthday gift in advance, Shi Weichong, Fei Yujing, and Xiang Aoting had all sent their gifts. The only one left was Li Jiuzheng, who had yet to make a move.

But Li Jiuzheng probably wouldn't send anything, after all, that guy had actually picked up a weapon in the past and wanted to kill him directly. Although he later gave up and changed his attitude to show goodwill towards him...

"That's probably it," he said with little confidence.

Liu Yong and Luo Donghao looked at him and instantly understood - "probably" meant that there was still a high chance that there would still be something.

......

Under the watchful eyes of Liu Yong and Luo Donghao, Shi Jin's phone rang after class in the morning.

"Delivery?" Luo Donghao asked. Liu Yong was excited: "Do you want to push the cart?"

Shi Jin looked at the flashing caller ID on his phone, hesitated for a moment, shook his head at them, and said, "It's not a delivery, it's my fifth brother."

...

Shi Jin ran to the school gate and saw Li Jiuzheng standing outside the guard room. He frowned and approached him quickly, asking, "Why are you here?"

Li Jiuzheng was dressed like an ordinary college student this time, wearing a dark brown coat and black jeans, slinging a black bag over his shoulder, half of his face buried in a scarf, looking gentle and harmless. When he saw Shi Jin coming, he first looked carefully at Shi Jin's uniform, then smiled and said, "Xiao Jin, happy birthday."

Shi Jin was so amused by his smile that he couldn't even frown. He asked, "When did you come to B City? Have you had lunch?"

Li Jiuzheng spoke earnestly, "The school doctor here is a relative of my teacher."

"What?" Shi Jin was puzzled.

"I asked him, and he said your class doesn't have a class in the first period this afternoon, and the lunch break is relatively long... So can you go out temporarily? Big Brother and the others asked me to take you out for a nice birthday meal at the very least." Li Jiuzheng asked, because his appearance was naturally non-threatening, so when he spoke with a soft tone, there was a hint of pleading.

Shi Jin's goosebumps were rising, and he asked, "What did Big Brother and the others ask of you?"

"Well, they all have things to do and can't come back to B City, so they entrusted me with it," Li Jiuzheng replied. Seeing Shi Jin's bare neck, he quickly lowered his head and took out a scarf from his backpack, carefully wrapping it around Shi Jin's neck. He smiled and said, "Here you go, birthday present."

The scarf was very soft, probably because it had been next to Li Jiuzheng for too long and had picked up a bit of his scent. Shi Jin was a little stunned. He reached up and touched it, then realized with a black line that the scarf he was wearing was actually the same as the one Li Jiuzheng was wearing around his neck.

"I'm not very good at picking gifts, do you not like it?" Li Jiuzheng asked nervously, seeing his expression.

"...No, this one is pretty good," replied Shi Jin, genuinely touched by the simplicity of the scarf. After being bombarded with expensive and heavy gifts from his fellow brothers, this scarf was a refreshing change.

"Shall we go eat?" asked Li Jiuzheng, gesturing towards the school gate.

Shi Jin considered for a moment, but ultimately agreed to the invitation, partly because of the scarf and partly because Li Jiuzheng's ears were turning red from waiting outside. However, he was cautious and made a mental note to Xiao Si, to be on standby in case Li Jiuzheng triggered any memories or emotions, and cry loudly or even quack like a duck if it happened.

Xiao Si: "..."

Not only that, but he also called Lian Jun to inform him of his plans to dine with Li Jiuzheng outside. After everything was arranged, he took the permission slip he had requested from the counselor and followed Li Jiuzheng out of the school gate.

Li Jiuzheng led Shi Jin to a low-key black car and asked him, "Do you like it?"

Shi Jin was afraid that he would take out a key and hand it over, so he quickly said, "I don't have a driver's license and don't know how to drive, so I don't really understand cars. I can't say whether I like it or not."

Li Jiuzheng turned his head to look at him, took out a key from his pocket, unlocked the car, and got in first. He whispered, "Oh."

Shi Jin: "..." He seemed to hear the sound of a young boy's heart breaking.
