Chapter 1495: His Good Days Are Over

Xu Xiaoxiao happened to have something to say to Elder Wang!

Hearing Elder Wang's invitation, she took the opportunity to smile: "Alright."

Xu Xiaoxiao walked into the office and sat down opposite Elder Wang.

Before Elder Wang could speak, he let out a heavy sigh first.

Afterwards, he said with a heart full of guilt: "I suppose you already know about the foolish things that brat has done."

This... not only did Xu Xiaoxiao know, but in her hands, she even held even more spectacular photos.

Even...

She was the mastermind behind the incident...

Xu Xiaoxiao lowered her head and did not speak.

Elder Wang continued on his own: "I thought sending him here to work would help him settle down, but I didn't expect... sigh!"

In this instant, Elder Wang seemed to have aged a lot.

His already weary eyes were even more dim and lusterless.

Seeing Elder Wang like this, Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a sense of unbearable pity.

At this moment, the old man before her was not a renowned scholar covered in honors.

He was just an elder worrying about an unworthy descendant.

As for Xu Xiaoxiao, she was the culprit who deepened the old man's pain...

Sigh, the sense of self-reproach is so heavy!

Xu Xiaoxiao lowered her head and sighed softly.

But the next second, she thought of something.

She looked up and said: "Wang Sinian is still too idle; if he went home and fell asleep the moment his head hit the pillow, where would he still have time to hang out at nightclubs!"

Elder Wang could sense that there was a deeper meaning behind Xu Xiaoxiao saying this.

He looked closely into Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes and asked: "You mean... to make his life a bit more fulfilling?"

Look at that, he is truly worthy of being a person learned in both ancient and modern times, grasping the key point of the problem at once!

Xu Xiaoxiao nodded with a smile and added: "Wang Sinian is just an assistant; the work at the school isn't enough to tire him to that extent, so... we need to add some workload outside of school."

Is that so...

Elder Wang quickly thought of an idea: "How about letting him go move bricks?"

"That's also possible, how do you intend for him to move bricks?"

"I mean going to a construction site to move bricks."

Huh?

Xu Xiaoxiao had thought that when Elder Wang said moving bricks, it was like how young people use it as a general term for work.

She didn't expect that he meant literally moving bricks!

Rubbing her forehead with her fingers, Xu Xiaoxiao said tactfully: "That's not very appropriate; Wang Sinian would definitely give up before long."

Elder Wang snorted coldly: "If he dares to give up, I'll break his legs!"

Xu Xiaoxiao actually wished Wang Sinian's legs would be broken; that way, he wouldn't be wandering around in front of her.

But such a thought was just a thought.

Whether it was Xu Xiaoxiao or Elder Wang, neither could truly break Wang Sinian's legs.

Elder Wang pondered for a moment, but couldn't think of any good ideas, so he asked Xu Xiaoxiao: "Do you have any good suggestions?"

Come to think of it, Xu Xiaoxiao actually did have one.

She first asked Elder Wang: "What does Wang Sinian dislike doing?"

"He... dislikes doing repetitive and boring things."

Hmm?

Isn't that exactly what he does at school?

But Xu Xiaoxiao had seen him busy and fired up about it.

Xu Xiaoxiao was a bit confused.

But now was not the time to delve into that.

Xu Xiaoxiao buried the question in her heart and continued chatting with Elder Wang: "Could you give a specific example?"

"Like... organizing the scattered books in the study; he would truly rather be punished than lift a finger to organize them."

Is that so?

Xu Xiaoxiao stroked her chin with her fingers, then snapped her fingers and suggested: "Then let him go do volunteer work at the library!"

"Do volunteer work?"

"That's right, there are many books every day that have been read but not put back in their original places; the workload is heavy, which is just right to wear down Wang Sinian's excess energy!"

Elder Wang thought about it, but raised a different perspective: "The workload isn't that heavy, is it? Can it exhaust his physical strength?"

"It won't exhaust his physical strength, but mental exhaustion can better suppress his restless heart. And as long as this suppression is controlled within a reasonable range, it won't cause a backlash."

Xu Xiaoxiao's explanation made Elder Wang nod in sudden realization.

It seemed he approved of Xu Xiaoxiao's suggestion.

But making the suggestion was only the beginning.

The real difficulty lay in how to make Wang Sinian willing to do the volunteer work.

And regarding this problem, Elder Wang was quite experienced: "We can use benefits to tempt him."

As for this question, Old Wang was quite experienced: "You can use benefits to tempt him."

"Do you know what Wang Sinian wants?"

"I know very clearly, so you can leave the matter of persuading him to me."

Seeing that Old Master Wang was full of confidence, Xu Xiaoxiao did not ask any further.

However, regarding communication techniques, Xu Xiaoxiao certainly had something to say:

"When communicating, you can first pretend to make him move bricks. When Wang Sinian is angry, you then make a concession, and he won't be so resistant to doing volunteer work."

Old Master Wang listened carefully and felt it was quite useful.

Afterwards, he said to Xu Xiaoxiao with a smile: "You little girl, you truly are a psychology expert; you have mastered psychological tactics."

After hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao really wanted to say:

The one who is truly good at playing psychological games is clearly your grandson!!

Whenever Xu Xiaoxiao thinks of Wang Sinian's smug look now, she gets furious.

However...

Wang Sinian's good days are coming to an end!

Xu Xiaoxiao suppressed her smile and said earnestly: "For the next period of time, you"

"will be matching wits with Wang Sinian, and the days will surely be very hard."

Old Master Wang smiled bitterly: "Matching wits? I am already used to it."

From the bitter smile on Old Master Wang's face, Xu Xiaoxiao could feel that the old man had been angered by Wang Sinian more than once.

In order to put the old man's mind at ease, Xu Xiaoxiao said: "I believe this period of self-cultivation will be able to make Wang Sinian settle down."

"Sigh, I hope so."

"You and your family must be firm and persist; you cannot soften your hearts the moment Wang Sinian begs for mercy."

"Rest assured, it was because we were too soft-hearted toward him before that we..."

Old Master Wang stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

He turned his head to look at Xu Xiaoxiao again and saw this young woman staring at him intently.

In her eyes was a full measure of curiosity.

But Old Master Wang did not continue, only standing up and requesting: "As for the school side of things, I must ask you to help keep an eye on it."

"That is a given," seeing that Old Master Wang was about to leave, Xu Xiaoxiao asked, "Are you not going to wait for the director?"

"No, I have already found the answer. Little Xu, thank you."

Old Master Wang's gratitude came from the bottom of his heart.

Xu Xiaoxiao waved her hand, feeling that she was unworthy of this expression of thanks.

She escorted Old Master Wang to the school gate and watched as the old man got into his car and slowly drove away.

Gazing at the taillights moving further and further away, Xu Xiaoxiao let out a long breath.

Then, the next second...

The corners of her mouth slowly curled up!

Hmph, Wang Sinian, let's see if I can't fix you this time!

Don't you think that because you are shameless, others can't do anything about you?

Then I won't criticize you from a moral standpoint, but rather torture you from the soul! I'll make you cry out in endless misery!

When you can't take it anymore, you'll just slink away!!

The more Xu Xiaoxiao thought about it, the more delighted she became, and in the end, she actually laughed out loud at the air.
