Li Zixia thought about it more.
The company was originally fine. Why did it suddenly go bankrupt?
Moreover, from the looks of it, Sister Xi did not seem to know.
What should she do?
Meanwhile, Xie Yingying bit her lip and suddenly held Xue Xi’s hand. She said, “Sister Xi, if you lack money, I-I don’t have anything else, but I can manage your meals!”
Xue Xi: “?”
Seeing that Xie Yingying had said this, Li Zixia also said, “My family is rich. As long as I don’t go bankrupt, I… I can manage your school fees.”
Xie Yingying: “…Aren’t you being a cheapskate? Sister Xi is exempted from school fees!”
Li Zixia: “Then I’ll take care of your clothes!”
Xue Xi: “…”
Xiang Huai: “…” What’s going on? It’s fine if there are boys eyeing my little kid, but why are her dormitory mates starting to financially support her?
Do they think that her boyfriend doesn’t exist?
Xiang Huai’s face turned cold. “Cough, cough!”
If it were any other time, these two girls would have tactfully left. However, not only did the two who were concerned about Xue Xi not leave, they even sat down on either side of her.
Xie Yingying comforted, “Sister Xi, don’t be sad.”
Li Zixia: “…Sister Xi, this is life. There are ups and downs. Don’t worry. Your current task is to study hard. Your parents will definitely settle your family matters.”
Xue Xi: “…So, what happened at home?”
Li Zixia and Xie Yingying looked at each other and did not dare to speak again.
Xue Xi sighed helplessly. “Give me your phone.”
Li Zixia could only pass the new phone to her. When Xue Xi opened it, she saw the thread: #Li Sheng Pharmaceuticals Bankruptcy#
The following content was: “According to rumors, ever since the company was established, Li Sheng Pharmaceutical Company has been in a state of loss. After more than half a year, they finally could not hold on any longer. The news of bankruptcy was still hidden and had not been released, but there were reporters who had taken photos of their employees who were already cleaning up their workplaces.
“Li Sheng Pharmaceutical Company belongs to the school belle’s family. The fair, rich, and beautiful lady is about to be in debt. One wonders if the most beautiful school belle could withstand this blow.”
Xue Xi: “…”
This was clearly written on the school’s intranet.
Moreover, she did not even need to investigate to know that it must be Gu Yunqing’s thread.
How could others know their company’s name?
Xue Xi directly sent the thread to the three’s group on WeChat. She then opened her phone and sent the thread to Xue Sheng.
In less than half a minute, Xue Sheng, who had finished reading the thread, immediately replied: “F*ck! Where did this rumor come from?! The company prioritized research and development. Now that the medicine is out, I got them to tidy up the office so that the sales department can come in! How did it become a story of bankruptcy? Xixi, don’t worry. Dad will definitely not let you have no money to spend!”
Xue Xi: “…”
This was a perfect misunderstanding.
Seeing her expression, Li Zixia said carefully, “Sister Xi, has your company really been losing money?”
Xue Xi nodded. “Yes.”
Li Zixia did not dare to ask anything else and instead looked at Xiang Huai. “Instructor Xiang, let me tell you. If Sister Xi’s family goes bankrupt and you dare to bully her, the people in our dormitory will not let you off!”
Xiang Huai: “…”
He picked up a piece of meat and passed it to Xue Xi’s mouth. Despite being separated by their seats, he did not feel any pressure when he extended his hand. Li Zixia and Xie Yingying clicked their tongues when they saw this. Xiang Huai raised an eyebrow and said worriedly, “I do hope that her family will go bankrupt. That way, I can provide for her, but this will probably be a little difficult.”
Li Zixia: “?”
She was stunned. “Sister Xi, is your house alright?”
Xue Xi nodded. “Mhm. We’re not bankrupt. They’re just tidying up the company.”
Li Zixia instantly heaved a sigh of relief. “You scared me to death. But who is this? She’s just spreading rumors! You don’t know, but when this thread was released after you left, there were many people who came to our dormitory to comfort you!”
Xue Xi: “…”
She finally understood why so many people in the canteen were staring at her today.
…
…
After having dinner and sending Xiang Huai off, Xue Xi, Li Zixia, and Xie Yingying returned to the dormitory.
Just as she entered the dormitory, she saw the person from the neighboring dormitory sending her a bag of snacks. “Xue Xi, I bought too much. Have some!”
Someone sent another fruit over. “Xue Xi, have some!”
Xue Xi: “…”
She explained, “My family is not bankrupt.”
The students patted her shoulders. “I understand, I understand.”
“…”
What do you guys understand!
Li Zixia could not help but sigh. “Sister Xi, I finally understand now. When school started, I thought you were a poor student. You kept saying that you weren’t, but I didn’t believe your words. I was really helpless!”
The corners of Xie Yingying’s lips twitched. “However, I always thought that Sister Xi’s social relations in the class were not good. I didn’t expect her to become so popular after these two incidents!”
Li Zixia said, “In the past, everyone did not understand Sister Xi. Later on, after Mr. Guo’s incident, everyone’s impression of Sister Xi changed! Moreover, let me tell you, when school started, everyone was a little unconvinced. After all, they were all the most outstanding people in each province! But during this period, who’d still dare to be unconvinced by Sister Xi?”
During Xue Xi’s classes, she had never been wrong when answering the teachers’ questions.
They were all top students, yet everyone admired Xue Xi in terms of studies.
Xue Xi had used her own strength to conquer everything!
That night passed amid this bustle.
When she woke up the next day, Xue Xi dressed up and walked toward the lecture hall that Deng He had told her about.
At this moment, Gu Yunqing was answering a call in front of the lecture hall. On the other end of the call was her father, saying, “Our family also has a pharmaceutical company. You have to know that this nerve acid is a highly profitable medicine. A bottle of medicine is probably worth tens of thousands of yuan! So, think of a way to see if you can poach this chemist over!”
Gu Yunqing lowered her eyes. “Okay, I understand, Dad.”
After hanging up, she was just about to enter the lecture hall when she turned around and saw Xue Xi.
Gu Yunqing immediately crossed her arms.
When Xue Xi approached, she lowered her voice and said fiercely, “What? Your company is about to close down. Are you planning to poach Professor Deng too? Ha, you really overestimate yourself. A company opened by a nouveau riche must be just a small workshop, right?! Can you guys even poach Deng He? Tsk, tsk!”
Just as she said this, someone shouted, “Professor Deng He is here!”
Immediately, Deng He walked toward the multimedia lecture hall while surrounded by a crowd.
Unlike the other times when he was wearing a white coat in the laboratory, Deng He was wearing a black suit and exuded an academic aura.
After turning a corner, Deng He, who was among the crowd, spotted Xue Xi at first glance. His eyes lit up and he quickly took two steps forward, heading straight for Xue Xi. “Missy!”
“…”
