Just as the crowd of students curiously stared at the Hummer, Wang Xiaoqiang got out of the car.
Seeing someone about their age step out of the car, the students grew even more curious and started to discuss:
"Could this be some rich second generation?"
"It's not 'could be,' it definitely is!"
"Tsk tsk... now it's 'rich dad, awesome son', having a wealthy father beats everything!"
Clearly, these students didn't quite believe that Young Wang Xiaoqiang, at such a youthful age, could own a Hummer by his own efforts.
As wave after wave of students poured out from the school gates, it wasn't long before someone recognized Wang Xiaoqiang.
The last time Wang Xiaoqiang had been here at this school entrance, he had severely trampled on Yao Zhihao. There had been many spectators then, and the scene was so shocking and exhilarating that far from forgetting Wang Xiaoqiang, his image had instead been permanently etched into everyone's memories.
Furthermore, with the subsequent imprisonment of Yao and his son, Wang Xiaoqiang's popularity had skyrocketed to an intense level at the county's key high school. He had almost become a hero they worshiped.
Before anyone knew who raised their voice and exclaimed, "Hey, isn't that Jiang Xiaoxin's boyfriend?"
"Yeah, that's him, the one who trampled Yao Zhihao so bad he couldn't stand up..."
Once these words were out, a large group of students immediately crowded around Wang Xiaoqiang, evaluating him with admiring gazes.
Some bold girls blinked flirtatiously at Wang Xiaoqiang, while others took out their phones to take his picture.
Wang Xiaoqiang, who was naturally handsome and came from a "background," had now also become a "rich second generation," which naturally made him popular among the female students.
Wang Xiaoqiang hadn't expected his popularity and attention rate to be so high. Suddenly being surrounded and photographed by a crowd of students like a major celebrity, he began to feel quite uncomfortable.
Meanwhile, under the electric gaze of several girls' flirtatious eyes, Wang Xiaoqiang's face turned red.
"He, he can blush?" a girl with a ponytail pointed at Wang Xiaoqiang and remarked in surprise.
"Aww, he's so cute! Just the type I like!", said a girl with a round, plump face as she smiled, revealing a pair of adorable fangs.
"Cut it out, stop dreaming, he already has a girlfriend!" one of the guys said sourly.
"So what if he has a girlfriend? As long as they're not married, there's still hope..." the girl said dreamily, supporting her chin with her hands.
"Hope, huh? Do you think you're as pretty as Jiang Xiaoxin? Do you have the competitive power?"
Upon hearing this, the girl instantly looked crestfallen, like a deflated balloon, and pouted, "Why do you have to crush my dreams like that, can't I dream a little?"
Wang Xiaoqiang shook his head upon hearing this and sighed inwardly, thinking how bold and open today's students were to say anything that came to their mind.
Being surrounded and talked about like this was quite uncomfortable. Wang Xiaoqiang waved his hand at everyone, "Don't crowd around me like this, can someone please call Jiang Xiaoxin for me."
"I'll go!" A tall girl immediately raised her hand and then turned and sprinted into the campus.
Soon, Jiang Xiaoxin was pushed forward by a group of girls, her face slightly blushed as she appeared. Seeing the school beauty Jiang Xiaoxin emerge, the onlooking students started to make noise, with some applauding and others even wolf-whistling.
Just now, Jiang Xiaoxin had heard from her classmates that her boyfriend had come. She rushed over to Wang Xiaoqiang, not quite daring to believe it, thinking it was a tease and unwilling to come.
However, she was pushed over by several close female classmates, and only then did she believe it was all real—Wang Xiaoqiang had actually come to see her, driving a flashy Hummer no less, which was more ostentatious than any student's parent's vehicle at the school.
This also infused Jiang Xiaoxin with a sense of superiority among the student crowd as she walked up to Wang Xiaoqiang, excitedly asking, "Xiaoqiang, you're here!?"
This time, when calling Wang Xiaoqiang, Jiang Xiaoxin, as if led by some spirit, didn't add 'Brother' to his name.
Wang Xiaoqiang didn't notice anything unusual. Seeing Jiang Xiaoxin dressed in her short-sleeved school uniform, tall and pure looking, certainly prettier than any girl around, truly living up to her reputation as the school beauty, he felt proud and gave her a nod, then stepped forward and took Jiang Xiaoxin's hand, "Xiaoxin, let's go, I'll take you to dinner!"
Jiang Xiaoxin hadn't responded when all the girls cried out in unison, their voices filled with envy and resentment.
"Where are we going to eat?" asked Jiang Xiaoxin, feeling a bit self-conscious under everyone's gazes. She asked casually, but the truth was, no matter where Wang Xiaoqiang took her to eat, she would be happy. Even if it was just a bowl of cold noodles, as long as they were together, it was fine.
"To the County Committee Family Courtyard," said Wang Xiaoqiang decisively, pulling Jiang Xiaoxin onto the Hummer.
The students cried out in unison again, thinking to themselves that Jiang Xiaoxin's boyfriend really had a solid background. The County Committee Family Courtyard, that's where the officials lived.
In the envious gazes of his peers, Wang Xiaoqiang started the car and took Jiang Xiaoxin away from the school entrance.
"Xiaoxin, are you getting used to being at the key county high school now? How come these students all treat me like your boyfriend?"
Jiang Xiaoxin shyly lowered her head and said, "Since you disciplined Yao Zhihao last time, they all think you're my boyfriend. My explanations are completely useless... "
"Would that negatively impact you?" Wang Xiaoqiang asked cautiously.
"Not at all, I feel that things are quieter around me now, allowing me to focus on my studies more peacefully." Jiang Xiaoxin said happily.
"How so?"
"Well, before, I always received love letters, and some boys harassed me, but now they don't dare!"
"Hmm... that's an unexpected benefit, but Little Xin, I hope you can focus on your studies and avoid early romances..."
"Who's in early romance..." Jiang Xiaoxin turned her face away, her cheeks blushing.
Upon arriving at the Tang family, Jiang Xiaoxin received a warm welcome. After Wang Xiaoqiang introduced her to the Tang father and daughter, Jiang Xiaoxin was secretly shocked, as these two were important figures in her eyes. How could they be so familiar with Brother Qiang?
"Little Xin, from now on, consider this place your home. Come here for a meal every Sunday!" Tang Mingyuan sincerely told Jiang Xiaoxin.
Jiang Xiaoxin politely responded, feeling that the family's enthusiasm might have been a bit excessive, but their attitude was very sincere and not just for show.
What also surprised Jiang Xiaoxin was the Tang family's lavish preparation of meals. The school cafeteria's food was bland and tasteless, and seeing so much delicious food made Jiang Xiaoxin's mouth water, though she refrained from showing it, eating like a lady. Wang Xiaoqiang continuously offered her food, encouraging, "Go ahead and eat, no one will laugh at you."
"Yeah, Little Xin, you're just a kid, no need to be so reserved, just enjoy your food…" Tang Xiaofei laughed.
The meal was filled with laughter and chatter.
"Oh, Qiang, these eggs taste really good. Are they from your own chickens?" Tang Mingyuan remarked with surprise after tasting a boiled egg his daughter had made using Wang Xiaoqiang's eggs.
"Yes, these are wild mountain eggs. Old Tang, if you like them, eat more. Next time I'll bring more from my chicken farm; I have plenty!"
"Hmm, Qiang, did you start a chicken farm?"
"Yes!"
"Good job, Little Qiang!" Old Tang said, "How is the business? Raising animals is very good nowadays, and the government even provides subsidies."
"Old Tang, I must confide to you, I haven't got a license, I'm operating without one, so, let's not even talk about government subsidies, I'm afraid someone will catch me on this…"
"Well, you better get it soon!"
"Old Tang, I came today to ask for your help…"
Before Wang Xiaoqiang could finish, Old Tang had already waved his hand magnanimously: "No problem, I'll help you with this, I'll take care of it."
"Old Tang, what I mean is, not just to get a business license for the chicken farm, but also I want to create an agricultural company to better promote my products..."
"That's a great idea!" Before Wang Xiaoqiang could finish, Tang Mingyuan had already praised him: "Young people should dare to think and act, Qiang, leave it to me, no problem."
Jiang Xiaoxin felt a surge of excitement upon seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang was about to start a company, and briefly considered dropping out to work for Wang Xiaoqiang, but quickly discarded the thought after recalling what Wang Xiaoqiang had told her before.
After dinner, Wang Xiaoqiang left relevant documents with Old Tang, including the company's assets, scale, and operational status, as well as the company name, which Wang Xiaoqiang had already decided on in his mind—"Little Farmer Agricultural Products Co., Ltd."
Although the name sounded a bit humble, Wang Xiaoqiang wanted to remind himself through the company's name to never forget his roots no matter how big his business grew or how far he went in life, that he was a simple farmer.
He also hoped to use the company's future strength to show everyone, throughout the country and the world, that farmers can achieve great things and lead remarkable lives!
This was his dream and his defiance. Old Tang also thought the name was good, but obviously, he could not understand the meaning behind the company name as deeply as Jiang Xiaoxin on the side, who also came from a farming background and understood Wang Xiaoqiang's inner world better.
After finishing up, Wang Xiaoqiang said goodbye to Jiang Xiaoxin and drove her back to school in his Humvee.
"Brother Qiang, I definitely want to work at Little Farmer Agricultural Products Co., Ltd. in the future." Jiang Xiaoxin winked at Wang Xiaoqiang playfully.
"Hmm, at our Little Farmer Agricultural Products Co., Ltd., we really need someone like Miss Jiang, who has both the qualifications and the skills. We now officially offer you the position of our company's sales director. What do you think, Miss Jiang?"
"Giggle..."
"Haha..."
The two shared a knowing smile, both appearing very happy. As the Humvee reached the entrance of the county key high school, Jiang Xiaoxin seemed somewhat reluctant to leave. Wang Xiaoqiang glanced at her and said, "Get out of the car, focus on your studies, and once you graduate from college, come help me at the company."
"Hmm..." Jiang Xiaoxin nodded gravely, "Brother Qiang, rest assured, I will always remember your words and study hard."
Then she opened the car door, jumped down, waved to Wang Xiaoqiang, and walked toward the school, looking back three times with each step. (To be continued.
