“Ye Ting, you’re really not very smart. If I’m really as poor as you say, then I would be living my life in vain,” Chu Ning pouted and thought disdainfully as she walked.
Ye Ting’s way of thinking was too simplistic. Because of the Chu family’s background, Ye Ting thought that Chu Ning’s life was not easy. In fact, if Chu Ning lived alone, her quality of life would be even better than Ye Ting’s.
Ye Ting’s income came from the Ye family, while Chu Ning relied on herself!
After school, Chu Ning prepared all her clothes and accessories for the Dragon Boat Festival Gala the following night.
She planned to go to the mall in the afternoon and ask the Dior store manager to fix her makeup. Then, she would take a bus direct to school to attend the gala. It would commence at 6:30 pm and end at 9:30 pm.
She had already come to an agreement with her parents that she would go to Jingyuan High’s multimedia classroom earlier to attend the Dragon Boat Festival Gala.
After she was done, Chu Ning took out her phone and read the news. As she kept scrolling, an inconspicuous headline caught her attention.
“Bifeng District may be demolished in the near future. The development of the city’s high-speed rail can not be delayed…”
Chu Ning didn’t read the rest of the message. Her eyes were fixed on the red wording.
“Bifeng District will be demolished in these two days?” Chu Ning muttered to herself.
She knew very well what demolition meant. She didn’t have much money on her now, so hearing such good news was enough to make her feel as though she was walking on air.
Although she hadn’t received the huge sum for the demolition, she was already engulfed by a feeling of bliss.
She was about to become a multi-millionaire!
With such staggering wealth before the age of 18, Chu Ning was also the youngest person in the history of M City to reach this level of wealth, and she was currently only a second-year high school student.
Chu Ning was stunned for half a minute before she giggled at the screen.
Then, she adjusted her state of mind and calmed down.
“Dragon Boat Festival Gala, here I come,” Chu Ning said softly as she looked at her bare face in the mirror.
The next morning, Chu Ning didn’t have to go to the classroom. Just like the day before, she went straight to the multimedia classroom to rehearse.
However, the surroundings that morning was quite different from the previous day. Whether it was the hall or the VIP seats, they were all very clean and tidy. Moreover, many of the school’s leading teachers had already arrived, and there was quite a number of students sitting in the seats at the back. Their role was to do a last check on the flow of the entire Dragon Boat Festival Gala.
They had to ensure that there would not be any mistakes, as Jingyuan High’s Dragon Boat Festival Gala was not only for the teachers and students of the school, but also for the entire M City. After all, Jingyuan High School was an aristocratic school, and many of the students’ parents were in M City. Some even held an influence in the entire Province A. The school attached great importance to this event, as did the Education Department of M City.
The collaboration between Chu Ning and Yan Shen was naturally very outstanding, but Ye Ting and her partner were not very bad. However, Ye Ting was clearly more eye-catching than Chu Ning, because Ye Ting was more dazzling when it came to dressing up. Moreover, this was not the formal dress that she would be wearing for the gala. During the official Dragon Boat Festival Gala, she would only be more radiant.
In the afternoon, she had more freedom. The school also gave the students an afternoon off to pursue their own activities in the school. After Chu Ning explained the reason for going out of school to her form teacher, Lin Hao, she took her things and walked out the school gate.
However, when she reached the school gate, she suddenly thought of someone. She took out her phone, found the person’s chat box, and began to type, “Beauty, do you have time to accompany me out of school?”
After sending the message, she received a reply within seconds.
“Of course I do.” Luo Yu speedily replied.
“Then I’ll wait for you at the school gate.” After sending the message, Chu Ning waited quietly.
After a few minutes, Luo Yu slowly walked over from afar. She had on a dark green dress that day, instantly accentuating her calm and tranquil temperament, and was very much in line with the cultural elements of the dragon boat festival.
“Chu Ning, I’m here!”
After Luo Yu approached, she greeted her and held Chu Ning’s arm affectionately.
