Chapter 610
The truth is that the … After thinking for a while, Qi Zhiqiang carefully replied:
“The treatment in our company is… okay.”
“It is suitable for my major.”
“The monthly salary is about 18,000 yuan.”
Hearing this, Shen Xingrou immediately said with admiration:
“Senior Zhiqiang.”
“You are the best among our classmates!”
“You have just graduated and found such a good job. It’s really enviable!”
Hearing this, Qi Zhiqiang waved his hands and said:
“Hey, junior sister, don’t make fun of me.”
“My monthly salary is not enough for a meal for you.”
“Among our classmates, there are many who earn more than me. ”
Faced with Qi Zhiqiang’s modest self-mockery, Shen Xingrou replied with a serious face:
“Senior Zhiqiang.”
“You are different from them!”
“How can I not know what kind of morals those rich second-generations are?”
“When they are still asking their parents for pocket money to drink and pick up girls, spending money on wine and women without making progress.”
“You have already worked part-time in school, earned your own living expenses, and sponsored children in the mountains.”
“Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement!”
“The poorer you are, the more determined you will be, and you will never lose your ambition to rise to the top!”
“Among all my classmates, I admire you the most, senior.”
Under the bright moonlight…
Shen Xingrou’s beautiful eyes stared at Qi Zhiqiang without blinking.
It seemed that every word she said came from the heart.
This also made Qi Zhiqiang’s nose sore, and his eyes were slightly red.
Because the family conditions were too poor, his mother was bedridden all year round, and his father made a living by farming a few acres of land.
Qi Zhiqiang is just like his name.
He had great ambitions since he was a child and never stopped striving for self-improvement!
That year, he was admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University with the fifth place in Gansu Province.
His annual scholarships and grants totaled 13,000 yuan.
After deducting tuition and accommodation fees, he still had 6,500 yuan of disposable funds each year.
In order to save money, Qi Zhiqiang strictly controlled his monthly expenses to less than 400 yuan.
The daily food expenses were only 10 yuan, and he would order 4 taels of rice and half a portion of the cheapest dishes for lunch and dinner.
In order to save money, when he saw his classmates buying milk tea and eating fruit, he would swallow his saliva and then silently get a glass of boiled water.
Of the 100 yuan left each month, he spent 10 yuan on bathing water, 10 yuan on haircuts, 20 yuan on phone recharges, and 60 yuan for free use.
In order to save money, he would take the cheapest green train to and from his hometown during holidays.
This train was very slow, so he would sit with a small stool and read a book to spend the night on the train.
This overly frugal lifestyle also made Qi Zhiqiang have a regret.
That was the first time the class organized everyone to go out for fun, and each person needed 150 yuan.
But in order to save money, Qi Zhiqiang lied and said that he had something to do and did not participate.
Although the classmates knew that his family was in difficulty, they were willing to help him pay for it.
But because they were afraid of hurting his self-esteem, there was really no way.
So…
In the group photo of the classmates when they went out for the first time, he was the only one missing.
This was Qi Zhiqiang’s biggest regret during his four years at Tsinghua and Peking University.
Later, Qi Zhiqiang started to work and study in the second half of his first year.
Through the part-time job provided by the school, he also had a stable income.
Because the motto of Tsinghua and Peking University is: Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement!
In Tsinghua and Peking University, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can be self-reliant.
The school is also willing to provide various work-study opportunities for students who are self-reliant.
For example: part-time tutor, library assistant, campus service post, new media editor, administrative assistant, laboratory assistant…
Zhiqiang worked as a library assistant and part-time tutor. While it was convenient for him to read and study, he also had a stable income of 5,000 yuan per month.
From then on, he took the initiative to give up the scholarship issued by the state.
Although at this time, Qi Zhiqiang was still one of the most difficult people on campus.
As long as he applied, he would continue to receive the scholarship.
But after having a stable income through work-study programs.
Qi Zhiqiang felt that he could support himself and be self-reliant.
He chose to leave the money subsidized by the state to his classmates who needed it more.
At the same time, he would take out 3,200 yuan every semester to support the children of the Hope Primary School in his hometown.
Although his life was still poor and difficult.
But it was precisely because he was poor since he was a child that he received help from many enthusiastic people outside.
So he knew better that helping others in need was far better than adding icing on the cake.
After accepting social support, he should also make corresponding returns to support children like him.
But Qi Zhiqiang never mentioned these things to the outside world.
Because he didn’t want to be exposed by the media, nor did he want to use this to gain fame.
But today…
Suddenly, the girl he had a crush on mentioned him and expressed her admiration for him.
Qi Zhiqiang couldn’t help but be moved.
For the next half an hour…
From beginning to end, Shen Xingrou didn’t ask about Qi Zhiqiang’s work again.
It was as if it was just a normal chat between friends and classmates.
Gradually…
When Qi Zhiqiang let go of his vigilance.
The two talked about the current social situation from reminiscing about campus.
From life insights to future ideals.
Whenever Qi Zhiqiang spoke, Shen Xingrou, who was sitting opposite him, would hold her cheeks and listen quietly.
From time to time, a hint of admiration would be revealed in those big beautiful eyes.
During this hearty conversation, Qi Zhiqiang was surprised to find that
Shen Xingrou understands him, understands him, and supports him so much…
It seems that his three views and souls are innately in tune and resonate with Shen Xingrou!
And such a beautiful and wise, knowledgeable and cultivated Bai Yueguang who understands him so well.
It also makes Qi Zhiqiang, who has never been greedy for money, not lustful, and has a firm will, a clear mind, and always buries that love deeply in his heart.
There was a moment when he wanted to muster up the courage to confess to this Bai Yueguang sister who he had secretly loved for a long time.
