Chapter 207 Light
More than ten minutes passed.

Qiao Susu stood under the street light feeding mosquitoes until she became a little worried and wanted to walk over to take a look. At this time, a figure gradually walked out of the dark alley.

"Why did you take so long? Is everything okay?" Qiao Susu asked.

Qiao Jiming walked over with his head down. Because the light was too dim, people couldn't see the expression on his face. He said "hmm", then reached out and took Qiao Suisui's wrist, leading her back.

She noticed that Qiao Jiming was not in a good mood, so she tried to chat with him, asking him if there was anything wrong with his family recently, if he was under too much pressure, etc. Qiao Jiming patiently denied everything and told her not to worry. The two of them walked quietly in the moonlit alley, just like taking a walk after dinner. They were speechless for a while but they didn't feel awkward.

Qiao Jiming's eyes were fixed on the shadows on the road ahead, and he was a little distracted. The shadows of the two people overlapped, and they walked in unison, one tall and one short, like a couple in love. He was a few steps behind her, and quietly took out his phone to take a picture of this moment, and his heartbeat accelerated because of this simple action.

Qiao Suisui looked back and said with a smile, "What are you doing?"

Qiao Jiming smiled at her and said, "Nothing, I just think the shadows under the moonlight are pretty nice." He put his phone in his trouser pocket, caught up with her in two or three steps, and walked back with her shoulder to shoulder again.

In the next few days, Qiao Suisui's life returned to normal and calm. However, she discovered a strange phenomenon - she didn't know if it was a coincidence, but Gu Mengze began to appear frequently in her class. He always sat in the back row of the classroom, wearing headphones, and seemed to be listening to music, but occasionally he would look up at her. Seeing that he had no intention of talking to her, Qiao Suisui didn't think much about it.

She spent more than 3,000 yuan to rent a two-bedroom apartment, which was a very new apartment. The agent said that the landlord was overseas, and if she felt comfortable living there, she could rent it for a long time. The house was halfway between the school and ZhenFeng Company, so it was very convenient for her to go back and forth. In addition, the price of 3,000 yuan for this area was simply a lottery. You have to know that this area is a gathering place for white-collar workers, and the price of a one-bedroom apartment is more than 4,000 yuan. At first, she was afraid that she was deceived, but in the end, she repeatedly confirmed that the agent was a formal agent.

The supporting facilities around the entire community are very complete, the buildings are also very new, and most importantly, the landlord has a really good taste in decoration, which is simple and elegant, and the furniture looks like new. Qiao Susu feels that her luck has been a little too good recently.

Lin Xixi moved in with her. Because she went to school more often and lived close to home, she chose to live in the second bedroom. Lin Xixi insisted on paying half of the rent for her, but Qiao Susui refused. After Lin Xixi's soft and hard persuasion, Qiao Susui finally took only a symbolic 1,000 yuan.

Qiao Suisui's life is busy and fulfilling, with classes, internships, and writing articles in her spare time. However, under this fulfilling appearance, there are things on her mind that she never reveals to others.

She still thinks of them in that world frequently.

When she was walking among the crowd, she would subconsciously look up to see if there were any flying ships passing by in the sky;

When she was sitting in the shade of a tree at school and relaxing, she saw a couple playing on the lawn not far away, and their expressions would unconsciously appear in her mind;
After a busy day, when she lies down on the bed to sleep, she will subconsciously sniff the pillow and quilt, and even feel a sense of loss for the missing slightly cold body temperature and the silver hair wrapped around her fingertips;
She would also habitually want to call their names when she ate something delicious, but when she turned around, there was no one around her.
She thought she was sober enough and had separated reality from fantasy, but those experiences were playing out before her eyes like scenes from a movie.

That night, Qiao Suisui couldn't sleep, so she sat in front of the desk with only the computer screen on, in a daze. After hesitating for a while, she opened her mailbox, which she hadn't checked for a long time. Inside was a reply letter from INF Company. After opening it, she found a beta test entrance to the game link.

That string of letters, like Pandora's box, kept calling her.

The mouse moved hesitantly to the link, and the next second, Qiao Susu slammed her notebook shut.

Ye Xi's words kept ringing in Qiao Susu's ears. When she thought about how they would fall in love with every player who entered the game world, she laughed at herself.

"What's the point? If I start over again, it won't be the same world I've been to before."

She ran into bed as if escaping, covered her head with the quilt, and stayed awake all night until dawn.

A few days later, at get off work, Qiao Susu walked out of the Zhenge Company building as usual and saw a very familiar car parked at the door.

Guan Weizhi lowered the passenger window and said hello to her, "Get in the car."

"Teacher Guan, why are you here?" "Don't you remember?"

Qiao Susu was in a daze for a moment, and then immediately remembered that Guan Weizi had told her a few days ago that he would take her to an entrepreneurship training camp.

"Ah, it's today." Qiao Susu blinked and looked down at her white T-shirt, jeans and canvas shoes.

"Get up first, you can't park here."

Guan Weizhi knew what she was worried about. Seeing her anxious expression after getting in the car, he glanced at her and said, "Look at the back seat."

Qiao Susu looked back and saw four or five luxury handbags on the back seat. Her mind froze for a moment.

"Teacher Guan, these are..."

Guan Weizhi personally picked these out at the mall, but he was afraid that she would feel psychologically burdened, so he lied to her and said, "I rented them. I'll just deal with it tonight."

Qiao Suisui breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Teacher Guan, you are so thoughtful."

But when she thought about the occasion, she became worried again. Guan Weizhi said that the guests of this entrepreneurship training camp were all CEOs or partners of several startups that Zhonghe Fund had invested in before, and some students from prestigious universities were invited as training targets to initiate this entrepreneurship experience sharing. Wouldn't there be a CEO every five steps and an Ivy League student every ten steps?

"Teacher Guan, I'm a little nervous." Qiao Suisui pinched the seat belt and looked at him eagerly: "How should I behave so as not to embarrass you later?"

Guan Weizi smiled gently and looked straight ahead. He freed one hand and touched her head.

"No matter how you behave, you won't embarrass me."

He wore a casual suit today, giving him a sense of leisure and elegance, and less of his usual sense of distance. Guan Weizhi was not a person who liked to preach, especially not to change other people's perceptions, because it was too much effort. But the children next to him were different. For Qiao Suisui, he always felt an obligation to water and fertilize her in time.

Therefore, he asked, "What do you think is the purpose of me bringing you here today?"

Qiao Suisui thought for a moment and said, "Learn from the big guys."

"Half right."

Guan Weizhi smiled at her and said, "I will introduce you to the investment manager of the Dark Horse Project in Zhonghe Fund. The Dark Horse Project is a project that Zhonghe has only started in the past six months. They not only invest in companies in various fields, but also start to invest in people. A company will become a unicorn company from a startup, and so will talents. This is why some students are also participating today."

Qiao Suisui was startled and blurted out subconsciously: "But how can I compare to them?"

Guan Weizhi's expression remained unchanged. He kept holding the steering wheel and looking straight ahead. At this moment, he exuded an unintentional sense of confidence.

“Remember, the excellence of others does not affect your excellence. They are fire and you are gold. You cannot stop others from shining, and likewise, others cannot take away your brilliance.”
