Chapter 16

"Why is this one in your class so simple?" A teacher on the side glanced at the photo in the group and tried hard to hold back laughter.

The boy in the photo was clean and handsome, looking blank at the moment, as if asking why you were taking his phone.

Wang Laoshi was dazed. That child clearly looked so smart, why would his phone be confiscated?

"Probably because no one confiscated his phone at his previous school?" the teacher next to him said. "Think about Jiang Xiangnan; who in our school would dare confiscate his phone?" First, his grades were good, staying firmly at the top of the grade since Grade 1; second, his background was strong.

It was said that Jiang Xiangnan's father couldn't control him; he was unruly, and the school teachers couldn't control him even more.

"The one in your class was probably treated about the same as Jiang Xiangnan at his previous school; no one dared to control him." The teacher on the side said. Having said that, he suddenly realized, was the school about to have a King against King situation?

Wang Laoshi remembered that Jiang Xiangnan and looked at Zhao Jiu's dazed photo, felt a headache, and then hurriedly lowered his head to eat.

He still had to go to the duty room to sign later, and he would probably be lectured. Originally, he wanted to find Zhao Jiu and Su Li at noon to talk about their puppy love, but it could only be postponed.

In the cafeteria, after Su Li and the others finished eating, they carried their bowls back to the recycling area.

Chen Xue and Liu Jiajia had already walked out of the grief of the cafeteria welfare being gone. Anyway, they could eat good food; they just had to run faster.

The main thing was Zhao Jiu. His phone went into the school's "black room" on the first day of transferring. Wouldn't he be scolded to death by his parents?

They glanced at Zhao Jiu from the corner of their eyes and saw Zhao Jiu rubbing his knuckles; he probably slightly twisted his knuckles when pouring out the remaining soup just now.

Su Li handed over a tissue. Zhao Jiu took it and wiped his hands, feeling a bit depressed. The phone was secondary; this was the first time he had ever had something confiscated.

Forget it, Zhou.

"What is the first period in the afternoon?"

Su Li said: "Chemistry."

Zhao Jiu thought about it. Physics and math were okay; he had found some ideas back, so he wasn't that panicked. Chemistry and biology were not so easy to find back; there were a lot of things to remember.

Su Li silently calculated how many days were left until the exam, took out a small notebook from her pocket—this time it was for biology and chemistry, one for each person.

Chen Xue: "???"

Liu Jiajia: "???"

"The phone was confiscated, should we think of a way?" Chen Xue whispered to the two people preparing to review. At least find a way to get it back?

If it's really left at school for two years, the phone is equivalent to being scrapped.

Su Li said: "Buy a new one."

Zhao Jiu: "Mm."

No need to worry about a phone.

Chen Xue: "..."

Liu Jiajia: "..."

There was a reason why these two could get together.

The few walked toward the classroom together.

Behind them, a few people from Class 1 walked toward the table with trays. Seeing Su Li and the others finish, they sighed.

"Jiang Xiangnan, it's clearly your family that donated the cafeteria, but we haven't eaten those limited items many times, while others have eaten them many times."

Class 1 was on the top floor, with a heavy workload, and teachers dragging class was common. By the time they came down and queued to buy food in the cafeteria, the students in the first and second-floor classes had already finished eating.

The person next to him nodded: "Exactly."

There was always a feeling of making wedding clothes for others.

Jiang Xiangnan's gaze fell on Zhao Jiu. He must have run over to buy the bowl of noodles too. His tone was indifferent: "Whatever."

The people next to him listened to his tone and thought it was true. The cafeteria was donated by his family; it wasn't that he couldn't eat those limited items, he just didn't care.

Instead, others were rushing over to buy them.

But the problem was they wanted to eat them too; eating self-selected dishes every day, they wanted to change their taste!

At the back table, Su Cheng saw Jiang Xiangnan stand up and looked at him with a smile. Jiang Xiangnan would specifically ask the cafeteria staff to save two rice bowls for her and Xu Lian; this was her unique privilege.

Jiang Xiangnan walked toward that side, and a few people from Class 1 consciously followed.

At this moment, at home, the butler was talking to the teacher who confiscated Zhao Jiu's phone.

"Yes, you are right, students should still prioritize learning. I was just suddenly worried because I couldn't find my young master."

"Don't worry, we definitely support the school's approach." The butler talked to the teacher for a while, hung up the phone, and forgot to remind the young master that No. 1 High School would confiscate phones.

He sighed. His young master was probably quite dazed.

However, Zhao Jiu would handle the phone matter himself; what he had to do was another matter.

The young master wanted to improve the school cafeteria's food.

Actually, the cafeteria's dishes didn't need to be donated. The butler picked up the landline and called the school again.

Zhao Jiu had already brought a building over and didn't ask to enter a key class or anything. Based on that building, asking to improve the cafeteria food was still possible.

The butler talked to the school leaders for a while, and the school side quickly agreed, then made a call to the Jiang family.

The school's cafeteria was contracted by the Jiang family and was currently managed by a relative of the Jiang family.

That person was stunned and was about to say that this would increase labor costs too much.

The school leader said: "From Shengde, he donated a library himself, surname Zhao."

That person didn't know Zhao Jiu, but since the school leaders said so, his background must be significant. He hurriedly called his brother-in-law, Jiang Xiangnan's father, Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan was in a meeting at the company. Seeing the caller ID, his ex-wife's younger brother, he hung up.

The other party called his secretary's phone in a familiar way. Five minutes later, the secretary walked back with big strides and whispered something in his ear. Jiang Yuan raised his eyes.

Thus, before school ended that afternoon, the school cafeteria posted an announcement: the cafeteria would increase the variety and quantity of breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and was now collecting student opinions...

In the teaching building

Su Li finished half of her homework, put down her pen, and rubbed her neck. The bell for the end of class also rang at this time.

Qian Lei immediately picked up the basketball and greeted several other boys.

"Quick, quick, quick, we have a game scheduled with Class 10."

Several boys picked up their jackets and followed him. This group of people charged very fast.

Su Li turned her head, one hand resting on the back of the chair, and said to Zhao Jiu: "Give me the homework notebook you wrote today. I'll arrange a review plan for you."

Zhao Jiu rubbed his wrist and handed over the workbook he had done today.

Su Li opened it and saw that almost every chapter was about half empty.

Su Li closed the notebook; she probably knew now.

Gouzi seemed to be about the same as her.

Zhao Jiu looked at the classroom ceiling. When could he go back?

He really missed those documents at this time.

Chen Xue and Liu Jiajia got up and said to Su Li: "Su Li, let's go, eat."

Su Li put away the homework notebook: "We're going to eat, see you tomorrow."

Zhao Jiu leaned against the chair and looked up: "Mm?"

Su Li met his confused gaze: "Aren't you going home to eat?"

Otherwise, why look like she was abandoning him.

Zhao Jiu: "I'm staying in the dormitory."

Su Li: "!!!"

Although Gouzi had lived in a basement when he was abroad before, the first thing he did when he had money was to choose a high-end residential area, and he never lived in a place that wasn't good again.

He just looked easygoing, without temper or requirements, but in reality, he had pickiness engraved in his bones.

He was staying in the dormitory?

Su Li leaned over and said: "Actually, you don't have to stay at night."

The time they came over was during the day.

Zhao Jiu picked up his jacket, got up, and said: "Save time, review well."

Su Li thought it was true. The midterm exam was coming soon, and the time he spent going back and forth was enough to finish reading a book.

They really had to seize the time to review.

"But if you live outside, wouldn't it be more convenient to hire a tutor?"

The tutor Zhao Jiu hired definitely wouldn't be bad, and the efficiency would be much higher than them reviewing by themselves.

Hearing this, Chen Xue looked at Su Li in horror. Zhao Jiu's obvious purpose for staying in the dormitory, she couldn't see it?

Zhao Jiu said: "I'm not that much of a genius."

For content he hadn't learned, he understood it as soon as the teacher explained it, but he was very slow when it came to doing problems.

This was clearly not normal.

Chen Xue: "???"

Su Li was just about to say that he lived alone now, so it wouldn't be easy to be discovered, and the tutor shouldn't think too much, but she suddenly remembered that the Zhao family was watching him a bit closely, especially recently, someone would probably come over.

It was indeed necessary to be careful.

"Let's eat." Su Li said, "Continue tonight."

Zhao Jiu: "Mm. Let's go."

Chen Xue and Liu Jiajia looked at the two as if they were silly. Their words were completely incoherent; could they understand themselves?

When they arrived at the cafeteria, they saw a large group of students surrounding the cafeteria entrance, seemingly excited about something?

Chen Xue immediately squeezed over, then her eyes lit up, and she ran back and said: "The cafeteria is going to increase the variety of three meals, and is asking for opinions!"

"The school changed its nature? Actually so generous?"

Su Li was slightly stunned and turned to look at Zhao Jiu. Zhao Jiu pondered; the butler should have handled the matter.

In front, Jiang Xiangnan looked at the suddenly appearing announcement, his brows locked. Why would his uncle suddenly increase the dishes?
