Chapter 20

Zhao Jiu remembered the way someone pulled him to study early in the morning and said: "I hired a high-paid tutor!"

Wang Laoshi: "Ah?"

"Anything else?" Zhao Jiu lowered his head slightly, looking at Wang Laoshi and asking.

The boy stood in front of him, looking decent, and his speech was polite, but Xiao Wang inexplicably felt like he was being questioned by the dean of students when facing his gaze. The remaining words were stuck in his throat.

"No... nothing else."

"Teacher, then I'll go back first." Zhao Jiu said.

Wang Laoshi nodded, and Zhao Jiu turned, opened the door, and walked out.

Xiao Wang: "..."

Felt like this conversation was the same as not having it.

"By the way, Zhao Jiu, call Qian Lei over."

Zhao Jiu: "Good."

Zhao Jiu closed the door and walked back to the stairs. A student opposite looked at him in shock.

Zhao Jiu didn't care too much, went downstairs to call Qian Lei.

That student saw Zhao Jiu walk away and hurriedly returned to his class: "I saw Zhao Jiu come out of the black room!"

The small room next to the large office was the "black room" that everyone tacitly agreed on. Generally, if teachers had something that was not good to say in public, they would call students into the black room.

"Did the morning matter reach their homeroom teacher's ears?"

"What happened in the morning?"

"In the morning, a few boys in the cafeteria were talking about Su Li, and what they said was a bit dirty, so Zhao Jiu kicked them."

With a "whoosh," the whole class looked up. Zhao Jiu would actually kick people?

Wasn't this something Jiang Xiangnan would do?

"That's right, it was Zhao Jiu. Don't know exactly what was said, I only know Zhao Jiu looked really cold."

They probably guessed how they talked about Su Li. The matter between Su Li, Su Cheng, and Jiang Xiangnan was simply the talk of the town for all students after dinner at the end of Grade 1.

Zhao Jiu stood up for her?

"How did Su Li know him? Handsome, rich, and protecting her so much?"

Quite a few people were still waiting for Zhao Jiu to know about Su Li's Grade 1 past, and were thinking about when they would break up. After all, everyone knew that such a young master with a good family background was unlikely to allow his girlfriend to have chased someone else and dug a wall.

As a result, it seemed he didn't mind at all, but instead felt heartache.

Su Cheng pursed her lips. That Zhao Jiu was good to Su Li, but so what?

Could he compare to Jiang Xiangnan?

"By the way, Su Cheng, what exactly is the reason for the cafeteria change? Did Jiang Xiangnan tell you? People in Class 3 said Jiang Xiangnan said it had nothing to do with him."

Su Cheng opened her English book: "He has a bad relationship with his father, but Uncle Jiang can't keep stiff with him forever, right?"

Everyone thought it made sense.

At this moment, the butler was talking to Jiang Yuan on the phone harmoniously: "It's really troublesome for you, my young master is a bit picky about food."

Jiang Yuan: "It's normal for classmate Zhao to not be used to it after suddenly transferring. And his request is not excessive."

"The extra expenses for the cafeteria, we will cover it." The butler said.

Jiang Yuan stood in the company building, and hearing this, he was polite: "You are polite, the cafeteria was contracted by the Jiang family anyway, and my son is also there. It's not all because of classmate Zhao."

"Then it's troublesome." The butler said.

"You're welcome."

The butler hung up the phone. They should be able to eat normally next week.

"Is it school dismissal today? Xiao Lin, don't forget to pick him up."

Xiao Lin: "But Cheng Yu said he would go to pick up the young master after school."

The butler thought about it. Shengde dismissed early this afternoon, which was also fine.

Zhao Jiu returned to the classroom. Su Li immediately turned to look at him. Zhao Jiu met her slightly panicked gaze, put one hand on the back of the chair, pulled it open, and said: "Nothing."

Su Li breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Qian Lei was copying math homework and looked at the two: "What are you talking about?"

Zhao Jiu: "Nothing, but Xiao Wang called you to the office."

Qian Lei's hand copying homework shook violently, and then he went to Xiao Wang's office slowly.

Su Li continued to ask: "Then what did he call you for?"

Zhao Jiu looked at the confused secretary in front of him, then thought about the office, Xiao Wang rambling on, and then wanting to lead the topic stiffly, and said: "Just asked if I was used to the school."

Su Li nodded and turned back to continue reading.

Zhao Jiu spun his pen with his fingertips, looking at Su Li's back. Which eye of theirs saw they were in puppy love?

He also continued to review. Before the Zhao family came, he could only read.

Before school ended in the afternoon, the whole class became restless again. Staying at school for a week, they could finally go home.

Liu Jiajia tidied up her schoolbag, preparing to take books home.

Chen Xue howled while tidying: "It's clearly a holiday, but I still have to take make-up lessons when I go home."

Liu Jiajia heard this, and the excitement of just finishing school was reduced by half, and she also collapsed: "How many did your mom sign you up for?"

Chen Xue: "My mom found me a new math one, seems to be secretly opened by some famous teacher outside."

Liu Jiajia breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, my math can still be seen. This way I have fewer than you."

"Su Li seems to be more miserable, right? It's the one-on-one kind, right?" Chen Xue remembered she had said it before.

Su Li looked up: "Ah? I'm not going home."

It was useless to go home. That tutor finally became the one teaching Su Cheng.

At that time, because she still didn't do well in the midterm exam, she was still scolded by her parents, and she didn't even have the strength to argue. She watched Su Cheng occupy the teacher, while she studied on the side.

Now, although the teacher still focused on her progress, that was entirely because Su Cheng was unwilling to lose, feeling that she had fallen from the key class, and their levels were about the same. She desperately wanted to keep up.

Chen Xue was slightly stunned. Realizing that she suddenly stayed at school for no reason, she guessed that something should have happened at her home.

"It's good to be at school, review by yourself."

Su Li nodded: "Mm."

Liu Jiajia hesitated: "But Su Li, by then, the dormitories for Grade 1 and Grade 2 will basically be empty. There won't be many people staying at school. Can you do it?"

No. 1 High School only had Grade 3 students attending classes on Saturday. Grade 1 and Grade 2 were on normal holidays, but quite a few people had make-up classes outside, about the same as Grade 3.

Su Li: "I can."

It wasn't like she hadn't lived alone before. In her previous life, she didn't return until the college entrance exam in Grade 3. At first, it was quite scary, but later she got used to it.

And later abroad, Gouzi went out to accompany clients, and she stayed behind at the company. At that time, she was too poor, she couldn't bear to turn on the lights, and she ate in the dark.

Later, when Gouzi came back and saw her so miserable, he took her along to socialize.

Could it be scarier than that time?

"Then go buy a phone with me this afternoon?" Zhao Jiu said behind. Su Li turned her head: "Mm."

Then should she go home to get her documents by the way?

She had to open a bank card herself, but if she went home, she would have to see her parents and Su Cheng again.

Su Li fell into deep thought. Accompany Gouzi to buy a phone today, and go back to get her ID card tomorrow.

Tomorrow morning, her parents shouldn't be home, and Su Cheng should be in her room with the tutor.

Su Li tidied up her homework and stuffed it into her bag. Zhao Jiu behind carried his schoolbag on one shoulder, waiting for Su Li to tidy up her schoolbag.

At this moment, at the school gate, Su Cheng was following Jiang Xiangnan, and Hu Xiao and Yu Yangfei were discussing what to eat later.

"A new hot pot restaurant opened in the west city, shall we go eat?"

Su Cheng turned her head: "Okay."

Then she looked at Jiang Xiangnan, only to see Jiang Xiangnan's gaze falling outside.

They followed his gaze. At the school gate, parents picking up children had blocked the road, and traffic police were clearing it.

And at the main gate, a Bentley was parked.

Attracting a crowd of attention for the first time wasn't a luxury car, but the sign leaning against the front of the luxury car. On that sign, the huge words "Zhao Jiu" were written. The characters were a bit ugly and a bit arrogant, probably written by a boy.

Su Cheng suddenly realized that the friends of the rich might also be equally rich. She pursed her lips slightly. Because Jiang Xiangnan had a bad relationship with his family, she had never seen him travel with similar friends.

This kind of arrogant, casual way of picking people up proved that they had a very good relationship.

She thought that if Su Li integrated into Zhao Jiu's circle in the future and got along so well with them, she suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

Inside the car, two boys looked outside and patted Cheng Yu on the shoulder: "Cheng Ge, I think the situation is wrong."

"Everyone is looking at us."

Cheng Yu ate a tea egg: "Looking is right, only then can the boss see us."

The two next to him shrank. They suspected that Zhao Jiu would run away when he saw them later.

Cheng Yu looked at the school gate of No. 1 High School. A large group of students in regular school uniforms walked out.

Zhao Jiu's phone being confiscated was something he hadn't expected.

When he was at Shengde, who dared to confiscate his phone.

Was he here to pick someone up?

No, it was to support him.

Can't let the students at No. 1 High School feel that their boss has no one behind him and bully him.

"Is that him? Seems to have come out." One pointed inside. Cheng Yu leaned over to look and saw Zhao Jiu carrying a schoolbag and coming out from afar, followed by a little girl.

"Get off, get off!" The three hurriedly got off the car. Cheng Yu asked the person on the side to raise the sign quickly.

Su Li followed Zhao Jiu: "Shall we go eat dumplings later?"

By the time they came back, it would be dark, and the cafeteria would have closed long ago.

Zhao Jiu pulled his schoolbag: "Okay."

Su Li: "By the way, buy some bread and milk for breakfast tomorrow?"

Zhao Jiu: "Mm."

People around passed by and glanced at them. Zhao Jiu's youthful aura was too heavy, and the sunset glow hit the two of them, simply like a painting.

It's just the gate...

Several people looked at the gate, then looked at Zhao Jiu.

Zhao Jiu suddenly found that quite a few people were looking at him, not the kind of stealing glances at his face before.

Su Li saw the three boys at the main gate with sharp eyes: "Cheng Yu."

Zhao Jiu looked over and saw Cheng Yu standing at the gate, waving at him. The person next to him was holding a sign he didn't know where he got.

The big words "Zhao Jiu" were written on it, just like picking someone up at the airport.

Zhao Jiu: "..."

He turned back to the classroom; he didn't know them.

Su Li hurriedly grabbed him with one hand and analyzed seriously: "If you don't go over, they won't leave either."

Zhao Jiu looked at the students around and rubbed his brow. He had to go back. After walking two steps, he turned back and saw his secretary standing in place, respectfully looking at him.

Zhao Jiu: "..."

Su Li: "Boss, my phone fell in the classroom, I want to go back and get it."

After saying that, Su Li was ready to go back to the classroom.

Zhao Jiu strode back, grabbed Su Li's wrist with one hand, and pulled her in front: "It's okay, buy a new one."

Su Li hit his chest with her head, looked up, very serious: "I have no money."

Zhao Jiu lowered his eyes, his face full of being a generous boss, and his thin lips spat out two words: "Reimburse."

Su Li: "How can this be? And my dormitory key also fell in the classroom, and the classroom will be locked later."

Zhao Jiu pulled Su Li and walked toward the school gate. Outside the gate, Cheng Yu and the others waved their signs even more vigorously. Zhao Jiu's brow twitched, and he said to Su Li: "The dormitory manager has spares."

Su Li: "..."

After they returned to the original world, they must find an opportunity to make Cheng Yu die socially once.

"Those two over there, which class?" Suddenly a scolding came. Zhao Jiu and Su Li were startled. Looking up, they saw a teacher at the gate walking toward them with a dark face.

Zhao Jiu subconsciously pulled Su Li closer to him, slid his hand down her wrist, held her hand tightly, then took a step forward himself, blocking her slightly behind him, and then frowned, looking at the teacher who came over.

His phone was gone, and he didn't do homework for other subjects. Could he violate discipline just by going out of the school gate?

Su Li was also dazed and hurriedly looked at Gouzi. Did he violate any discipline?

The teacher looked at the two, his face dark, and took photos of the two, especially their hands.

"When you come back on Monday, take the initiative to find your homeroom teacher."

Su Li hadn't reacted yet and nodded repeatedly: "Okay."

Zhao Jiu didn't know at all where he had violated discipline again, nodded, and pulled Su Li toward Cheng Yu.

Xiao Wang in the office took his homework, preparing to go home, when suddenly someone @ him in the group. He looked at his phone in confusion.

Two familiar faces appeared.

In the photo, Su Li was dazed, Zhao Jiu was confused, and the two hands held together were particularly conspicuous.

Xiao Wang: "..."

What did he say in the morning?:,,.
