This morning, Xia Jingsheng was practicing calligraphy in the study when he suddenly heard the voice of a maid outside: "Eldest Young Master, Master wants to see you."

With a flick of the pen tip, the ink smeared on the paper.

Xia Jingsheng crumpled up the rice paper and threw it into the wastebasket.

Calligraphy practice requires one's concentration, Xia Jingsheng lost his mind at all when he was called out like that, so he had no choice but to put down his pen and walk out of the study.

Xia Jingsheng came to the living room and saw Xia Jingrui was reporting this quarter's performance to Xia Gongcheng: "Dad, because the dollar bill has risen a little this quarter, the company's cost accounting is higher than expected..."

This is what loss means.

Xia Gongcheng frowned, and slammed the table: "You are still so unreliable in doing things."

Seeing Xia Jingsheng in a blink of an eye, Xia Gongcheng became even angrier.

Immediately pointing at Xia Jingsheng: "And you, you don't do business all day long. If you can help your younger brother, how can you lose money this quarter?"

"Dad, you know, my fate, if I get involved in the family business, I'm afraid the factory will be closed soon."

Xia Gongcheng's face was livid, and he didn't make a sound.

For a while, the hall was silent.

After a long while, the servant girl's report broke the silence: "Master, Mr. Liu from Renya Middle School is here."

When Xia Jingrui heard this, he immediately lifted his spirits: "What are you still doing in a daze, invite someone in quickly."

Renya Middle School is a new school, some students board.The school needs to install a batch of electric lights recently, which is a business that the Xia family has always wanted to win.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in a plain gown and gold-rimmed glasses walked in.

"Mr. Xia, I'm Liu Kunda, the teaching director of Renya Middle School."

Xia Gongcheng nodded and ordered: "Come here, show Mr. Liu some tea."

Liu Kunda looked at the furnishings of Xia's residence, and caressed the old Eight Immortals table: "The Xia family has profound knowledge and profound heritage, and I admire it."

Xia Gongcheng didn't speak, and took a sip of tea leisurely.

In contrast, Xia Jingrui was obviously much more anxious. He asked expectantly, "Director Liu, how does your school think about the cooperation?"

As soon as Xia Jingrui opened his mouth, Xia Gongcheng sighed indistinctly.

In the end is young, restless.

Sure enough, Liu Kunda put down the teacup, pushed his glasses, and said with a smile, "Look at my memory, Second Young Master, there is no rush for this cooperation, no rush."

Xia Jingrui's face immediately changed upon hearing this excuse: "What else is there to think about, the terms we offered are already very favorable."

He was anxious, but Liu Kunda slowed down, only to see Liu Kunda's amiable expression: "Second Young Master, there are other factories that offer a lower price than Xiahe, and the school is considering it."

In one sentence, Xia Jingrui was speechless.

"Of course, this matter is not without discussion." Liu Kunda changed the subject and looked at Xia Jingsheng who was silent at the side, "I came this time to invite the young master to visit our school."

For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Xia Jingsheng.

Xia Jingsheng looked at Liu Kunda, but didn't answer.

Seeing Xia Jingsheng's cool eyes, Liu Kunda's heart trembled, thinking that Xia Jingsheng was unwilling, so he quickly smiled and said, "Don't worry, young master, the price is negotiable, and we also know the rules of the market."

Xia Jingsheng said solemnly: "My rules are not to be accomplices or to harm others."

"It's natural, it's natural, don't worry."

While Liu Kunda was carefully looking at Xia Jingsheng, Xia Jingrui looked at him resentfully and almost gritted his teeth.Liu Kunda was putting on airs towards him, but he acted like a grandson in front of Xia Jingsheng, which is really hateful.

But he had no choice but to ask Liu Kunda immediately: "If things come to fruition, Xia He's business..."

"Second Young Master, don't worry. After the matter is completed, the school will give priority to Xiahe Electric Light Factory."

With Liu Kunda's guarantee, Xia Jingrui didn't feel the slightest sense of accomplishment, it was like picking up a stinky stone after Xia Jingsheng, it was extremely embarrassing.Xia Jingrui kept a sullen face until Liu Kunda left, but Liu Kunda didn't notice Xia Jingrui's dissatisfaction.

Liu Kunda was preoccupied with school affairs, so he chatted with Xia Jingsheng on the way.

"Young Master, I wonder if you have heard the bizarre rumors about Renya Middle School?"

Xia Jingsheng: "You mean, there are rumors about the tragic death of the concubine?"

Liu Kunda: "What happened in school this time is related to this rumor."

Renya Middle School has been established for many years and has a good reputation.Many social celebrities send their children to study in Renya.These social celebrities, in addition to their regular wives, most of them married concubines.Therefore, in Renya Middle School, it is often the case that prostitute daughters and concubine daughters share the same class and dormitory.

It was rumored that among the first batch of students recruited by Renya, there was a pair of prostitute daughters and concubine daughters in the same class and dormitory.Relying on her background, the prostitute daughter repeatedly bullied the concubine daughter. The concubine woman was weak and did not dare to refute, and was often bullied by several people in the dormitory.

The daughter-in-law fell in love with the chairman of the student union at the time, and she had already had a deep-rooted affection for him, but the chairman of the student union had feelings for the daughter-in-law.

Knowing the truth, the concubine daughter was furious, and scolded the concubine daughter for being shameless in full view, no wonder it was born by the concubine.

For this reason, the concubine lived under the strange eyes of others all day long, and became more and more silent. Finally, overwhelmed, she jumped down from the floor where the dormitory was located.

Afterwards, the female students who live in Renya's school say that the dormitory is haunted.The school took a lot of effort to calm down the matter, but after many years, it was brought up again.

Ren Ya middle school learned.

The four-character plaque of "Renya Middle School" hangs on the quaint school gate. The whole campus is quiet, only the sound of poplar branches and willows swaying in the wind.

Liu Kunda led Xia Jingsheng across the school road to the girls' dormitory.After a while, it stopped in front of a building that looked a bit dilapidated.

"Master, this is the dormitory building where the concubine girl committed suicide. The students in the dormitory on the top floor insisted that the building was haunted. Now this matter is spreading among the students."

The top floor that Liu Kunda mentioned was actually only the fourth floor. Liu Kunda led Xia Jingsheng upstairs, pointed to one of the dormitories without a number and said, "This is it."

The dormitory is empty, most things have been removed.

Xia Jingsheng's gaze finally stopped on a bed, he kept staring at it, and asked, "Whose bed is that?"

Liu Kunda: "It belongs to Lu Xiaoxiao, she is the one who first said it was haunted. She is the legitimate daughter of jeweler Lu Huairen."

Xia Jingsheng: "Let her come over."

"This...I'm afraid it won't work. Lu Xiaoxiao is sick, and her family has been informed to take her back, and she is recuperating in another dormitory." Just as Liu Kunda finished speaking, a timid voice came from outside the door.

"Teacher Liu……"

Xia Jingsheng turned his head and saw a girl with twin ponytails, wearing a plain sky blue school uniform, with a pale and thin face, which aroused pity.

Behind the girl, several girls followed, all dressed in school uniforms, looking at the dormitory at this moment, as if seeing an abyss, with fear on their faces.

"Miaomiao is here... all the classmates are here..." Liu Kunda pointed to the girl in the lead and said, "She is Lu Miaomiao, Lu Xiaoxiao's younger sister."

At this time, another voice came from outside the door: "You guys, I don't even want to ask you to help fetch the basin of water. Xiaoxiao is sick."

Xia Jingsheng took a closer look, she was an extremely bright-looking girl with soft and smooth hair, and a light pink hairpin with a bow on her head.

Liu Kunda: "That's Maggie, Mayor Mai's daughter."

Maggie looks quiet on the outside, but her words and demeanor reveal her character. She pushed aside the crowd vigorously and put the empty basin on the ground: "We agreed to take turns to be on duty. You are not allowed to renege on your debts. Go and fetch water for Xiaoxiao."

The student on duty was dissatisfied with being humiliated in public: "Why should we help her fetch water? I hate her defiant look in the past."

There are more and more echoing voices:

--- "She is the only co-author who is a rich lady, and no one else is as good as her."

---"I have endured her for a long time, and she usually overwhelms us everywhere, so why should we serve her when she is sick?"

Lu Miaomiao was listening, and suddenly said: "My sister didn't do it on purpose, if she offends everyone, I'll be here to accompany her."

A group of girls heard Lu Miaomiao's words and hurriedly clarified:

--- "Miao Miao, don't get me wrong, these words are not aimed at you."

--- "Miao Miao, you are different from your sister."

--- "Lu Xiaoxiao treats you like this, and you still speak for her, Miao Miao, it's very kind of you."

Xia Jingsheng watched the farce and said to Lu Miaomiao, "Come in."

A slight surprise flashed across Lu Miaomiao's face, and she hesitated in her steps.

Seeing Lu Miaomiao hesitate, the girls in the back row chimed in: "We moved out of it with great difficulty, and now we have to go in again. If we mess with that thing, it's not a joke."

When Xia Jingsheng raised his eyes, the girls met his indifferent eyes, their hearts trembled, and they dared not speak.

Maggie looked at them and sneered, "Why are you panicking? Don't do anything wrong. Don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. I'll come."

With that said, Maggie walked into the room.

Xia Jingsheng pointed to Lu Xiaoxiao's bed: "Take out the things under her bed."

Maggie bent down and looked under the dark bed, there was a cardboard box inside.

"Why so damp?" She pulled the box out forcefully.

The box was sealed, and it looked like a very ordinary cardboard box. Maggie touched the outer skin of the carton carefully.

That's right, in the hot summer, the outer belt of this carton has a sense of coolness.
