The Reborn CEO Jiang Is Also Acting Coquettishly Today - Chapter 15
Chapter 15
Jiang Zhixia, who was at the center of attention, did not have the slightest self-awareness of being spectated. As someone who had always been the center of crowds’ attention, President Jiang had long since learned to filter out all scrutiny.
Right now, she was casually holding her backpack in one hand, looking with a smiling gaze at Cheng Xi, who was organizing her notes: “Xixi, let’s go, time to eat.”
Fang Fang followed obediently by her side, instinctively pulling out a smile when her gaze met Cheng Xi’s.
??? The melon-eating crowd found the direction of the plot considerably strange.
“Thank you, but there’s no need,” Cheng Xi pursed her lips with some helplessness, “You guys go ahead.”
Jiang Zhixia drooped her eyes: “I am truly very grateful to you, Xixi. I’m sorry for my past behavior toward you, can we go eat together?”
The hand Cheng Xi held her pen with froze.
Jiang Zhixia’s acting was continuing smoothly according to the situation. Seizing the opportunity to give a reasonable explanation in front of the melon-eating crowd was also very necessary; otherwise, if everyone thought she harbored bad intentions, it would be very troublesome.
“I know I did very poorly in the past, and now I have already realized my mistakes. Furthermore, I actually have an insolent request—I hope you can teach Fang Fang and me in our studies. The science foundation for the two of us is too poor. Only now have we genuinely realized that studying is very important. How childish our thinking was in the past. I hope Lord Xixi can disregard past grudges and help us study.” Player Jiang Zhixia deployed her Sincere and Earnest Discourse technique skill.
Fang Fang, standing next to her: Holy sh*t… Xiaxia’s sacrifice is unexpectedly this grand, personally lowering her proud head to the enemy just to achieve the strategy. It’s song-worthy and tear-inducing. Thus, the moved Fang Fang closely followed with a nod of her head.
The melon-eating simpletons almost dropped the melons they were cradling to the ground. What? Jiang Zhixia said she wanted to study well? This was simply as rare as the sun rising from the west.
One must know that No. 1 High School counted as one of the two best schools in Jinjiang. With Jiang Zhixia’s and Fang Fang’s grades, they couldn’t enter the key experimental classes of No. 1 High School. If it hadn’t been because every teacher had a quota to move a student up, Jiang Zhixia and Fang Fang wouldn’t have been able to muddle their way in at all.
These two incompatible fellows kept a “well water doesn’t interfere with river water” dynamic with the people in the class, sharply demarcated. Furthermore, with Jiang Zhixia’s combat power, when conquering the little kids of the class, she could simply fight ten by herself.
Now hearing the Great Demon King officially declare she was reforming, everyone found it hard to believe.
Yet Jiang Zhixia’s gaze was exceptionally sincere.
“Keep it up, if you’ve decided to study well then work hard at it,” Cheng Xi didn’t treat her words as a joke, but smiled and affirmed instead. “But there’s really no need to treat me to a meal. If there’s anything you guys don’t understand, you can ask me at any time.”
The Study Representative was indeed still as gentle and genuine as always.
However, Jiang Zhixia directly bent over and scooped up Cheng Xi’s backpack: “Then I’ll take it that you’ve agreed. Xixi is so good, let’s go.”
“Hey, Jiang Zhixia.” Cheng Xi stood up, but just happened to have her wrist caught by the other party, being lightly and deftly led out of the classroom.
Fang Fang, with a green face, didn’t utter a single word and followed along beside them.
Jiang Zhixia hadn’t strolled properly in this school for over ten years and had long since forgotten the characteristic windows. She could only follow the moving direction of the crowd to walk to the third floor of the cafeteria. This side specifically provided small stir-fries. Sometimes when Jiang Qin was too lazy to cook, he would come to this side to pack two dishes to take back. She had truly eaten here from childhood to adulthood.
“You two sit here first, I’ll go order the food.” Jiang Zhixia placed her and Cheng Xi’s backpacks nicely, signaling for the two of them to sit down.
Fang Fang, left alone with Cheng Xi… sat on pins and needles. In the past, she had only run along with Jiang Zhixia to bully Cheng Xi, and this was the very first time turning shields into silk to sit across from her—and she even had a request of someone. In case she made a careless mistake and exposed Jiang Zhixia’s strategy, what would she do?
“Um… that, do you want to drink something?” Fang Fang scratched her head.
“No need, thank you,” Cheng Xi declined politely.
“Ahem.” Fang Fang looked around, still feeling very awkward.
Fortunately, Jiang Zhixia finished ordering the food and came back, holding three bottles of fruit juice in her hand. She casually twisted open the bottle that wasn’t iced and placed it on Cheng Xi’s table: “Room temperature is good for the body.” Eating meals together in their past life, Cheng Xi was too busy, so Jiang Zhixia did such small movements all too practicedly.
Cheng Xi had already grown accustomed to this thoughtfulness and display of goodwill from her. After thanking her, she proactively inquired: “What can I do to help you guys?”
Jiang Zhixia extended her long legs and sat up straight: “The foundation for Fang Fang and me is too poor. Xixi, tutor us on weekends, it won’t delay your own studying. What do you think? The treatment will be just like an outside tutor.”
Fang Fang’s eyes locked onto hers: Weekends?? Can I choose not to participate? 1551
Jiang Zhixia looked at her with a smile.
Fang Fang lowered her head and began to play with the beverage bottle.
Cheng Xi thought for a moment, “If I have time, I can teach you guys. There’s no need for the treatment, I will do my best to help you guys study together, is that okay?”
Jiang Zhixia pretended not to hear the underlying meaning in her words: “Xixi, you are so good. It’s a deal. However, the salary must definitely be there; otherwise, I’d be taking a massive advantage of you.”
“There’s really no need, I—” Before Cheng Xi could finish her words, the auntie came over to deliver the dishes. Jiang Zhixia naturally placed the two dishes right in front of Cheng Xi.
“Eat first, we’ll talk about it later.”
They just happened to all be things Cheng Xi liked to eat. Cheng Xi lowered her eyes and took the chopsticks handed over by her, yet didn’t quite believe this was a coincidence.
Jiang Zhixia actually hadn’t thought all that much about it. Cheng Xi didn’t look like she had the habit of being a picky eater; after all, most of the time she had no choice. But having eaten meals together with her so many times, how could Jiang Zhixia fail to observe what preferences and taboos she had? Therefore, it was merely an instinctive habit, just like how she also remembered what Fang Fang liked to order.
She hadn’t expected this point would cause Cheng Xi to have thoughts.
In short, no matter what, the tutoring matter was unilaterally finalized by President Jiang, and the two of them ate their meal while conversing very pleasantly.
Only the sullen Fang Fang viciously bit into a piece of braised pork, using the meat to anesthetize herself.
