Chapter 541 Impossible
Wen Lan guessed right, Xie Beiheng suffered a lot while pursuing Nan Chuji.
In order to prove to Nan Chuji that he could survive without spending his family's money, Xie Beiheng started working part-time.
In fact, Nan Chuji has been avoiding him. Even if he does superficial work, Nan Chuji doesn't know, but he takes it seriously.
In addition to living in the house provided by the family, all food, clothing, and transportation were maintained with money from part-time jobs. It was hard to make ends meet, and it became the norm to eat and drink every day.
Money is limited, and if you want to balance your expenses, you can only save between your teeth. In less than a month, Xie Beiheng lost twelve pounds.
Wen Lan would nag distressedly for a long time every time he called, while Xie Yansheng would directly scold him, saying that he was ignorant and could not live a good life.
Wen Lan would lose sleep all night after having a video chat with him.
In the end, Wen Lan came up with a good idea and ordered a sumptuous monthly meal from a Chinese restaurant near Xie Beiheng's residence, three meals a day, delivered at designated locations.
Xie Beiheng called Wen Lan and asked her to cancel the catering. Wen Lan didn't give him a good look and said that if you really don't want to eat, just throw it in the trash can.
At this time, Xie Beiheng had deeply realized how difficult life was, and how could he be willing to throw away the hot meals. He felt guilty after eating at first, but he felt relieved after a week.
After working in the freight department of TheOne for a month, he found that no matter how hard he worked at the bottom of society, he could not make a lot of money and achieve a leap in life, so he began to focus on writing game programming.
Xie Yansheng has a background in digital games. After his two sons were born, he was given the important task of provoking the "Feast". When Xie Beiheng and Xie Nanchen were in elementary school, they were assigned to learn systematic programming.
In order to achieve economic freedom as soon as possible, Xie Beiheng reduced the number of part-time jobs and spent more time and energy on game research and development.
Fortunately, the schoolwork was not too heavy. He had classes, part-time jobs, and game programming all arranged in an orderly manner.
Because he had to fight for his goals, Xie Beiheng had no extra time to pester Nan Chuji.
Before his financial situation changed significantly, he was too embarrassed to see Nan Chuji, so he sent Nan Chuji a greeting text message and a phone call.
Nan Chuji would reply a few words every time, neither cold nor hot, but he was very happy with it.
Hard work paid off, and three months later, he created his first game software on his own.
He wanted the market to set the price for his game, so instead of selling the game to Feast, he chose a moderately powerful game company in country Y.
After several evaluations, the game company gave him a psychologically acceptable price. He decisively signed and sold the game, earning his first pot of gold of 80,000 pounds.
After the money arrived, Xie Beiheng did not share it with his family. Instead, he went to a brand store and used the money from selling the game to buy himself a suit. He spent nearly an afternoon choosing one for Nan Chuji. Diamond bracelet.
To his regret, the diamonds on the bracelet were too small to express his feelings for Nan Chuji.
He secretly vowed that he would use the money he earned to give Nan Chuji a decent diamond necklace within three years!
In the past three months, he spent more time at his residence. He met Nan Chuji several times when he returned to school, but Nan Chuji always said hello and left in a hurry.
He just thought Nan Chuji was busy teaching students and didn't take it seriously.
In order to surprise Nan Chuji, Xie Beiheng specially ordered a candlelight dinner at a restaurant in advance.
He wore a newly bought suit, shirt and bow tie, took the bracelet, a bouquet of red roses, and a box of fine bird's nests and sea cucumbers. He came to Nanzhai in the evening, ready to make the first bucket of money in his life. Jin told Nan Chuji the good news.
Before pressing the doorbell, he opened his cell phone and prepared to call Nan Chuji first, but regretted before dialing. He felt that the atmosphere was so heightened that he might as well give Nan Chuji a surprise!
Before visiting this time, he checked the itinerary of Nan's family. They were all at home at this time. He had his own selfish motives, which was to make his presence known in front of Nan Chuji's parents.
Just as the doorbell rang, the middle-aged Chinese female nanny opened the door and asked him who he was looking for.
He recognized the nanny who opened the door for him last time, and said with a busy smile: "Auntie, don't you remember me? I am Teacher Nan's colleague, and I came here to deliver documents to Teacher Nan before."
The nanny stared at him for a while before suddenly realizing, "I remember, you have indeed been here -"
"Is Teacher Nan at home? This time I came here specially to invite Teacher Nan to eat out." Xie Beiheng's peach blossom eyes were shining with determination to win.
The nanny's eyes fell on the red rose in his hand, and she frowned: "Are you mistaken? Teacher Nan already has a legitimate boyfriend. They have been dating for two months, and now he is staying with Mr. Nan inside. Playing chess!"
"Impossible!" The smile on Xie Beiheng's face instantly turned into ice. "I chatted with Teacher Nan every three days. Why didn't she tell me about her boyfriend?"
"Little Zheng has come to the house many times, and I still can't lie to you!" The nanny shook her head angrily, "Teacher Nan and Little Zheng have a very good relationship. The two families are already discussing an engagement. If you go in with red roses in your arms, it's not for Nan. The teacher’s whole family is in trouble!”
Xiao Zheng's full name is Zheng Kai, which is the name of Nan Chuji's current boyfriend. He is three years older than Nan Chuji. He is an aesthetics professor at another university. The two met on a blind date.
Xie Beiheng's body trembled slightly and he quickly calmed down, "Auntie, please help me call Teacher Nan out. I have a few words to say to her."
“Young man, let’s forget it——”
"Either you call Nan Chuji out, or I'll break in. No one will look good then!" The nanny was interrupted by Xie Beiheng before she finished her refusal.
The nanny was frightened by his scarlet eyes and quickly gave in, "I'll go call Teacher Nan out for you right away!"
Xie Beiheng slowly closed his eyes, and a bitterness he had never felt before crossed his heart.
It was like a group of small ants had drilled into his chest, gnawing at his internal organs...
These three months were neither long nor short. In order to prove to her that he had the ability to support himself, he put all his energy into the development of game software.
Nan Chuji, on the other hand, not only had a boyfriend, but was also at the stage of talking about marriage!
No wonder he was in a hurry every time he met her recently. It turned out that he was in a hurry to fall in love!
A jealousy and resentment that could not be expressed in words instantly surged into Xie Beiheng's head.
He felt like he was being teased and abandoned.
Soon, the familiar sound of footsteps reached Xie Beiheng's eardrums.
When he raised his eyes, he met Nan Chuji's guilty gaze.
In less than a few seconds, Nan Chuji lowered his eyes first and greeted: "There are guests at home, let's go to the coffee shop across the street to talk."
"Okay." Xie Beiheng tried to force a fake smile, his voice was dim and weak.
