The Reborn CEO Jiang Is Also Acting Coquettishly Today - Chapter 3
Chapter 3
Let’s look back at Jiang Zhixia’s image in her classmates’ hearts at this time.
A troublemaker, someone who hated studying, a big bully who always picked on the kind and beautiful Study Representative and class flower Cheng Xi—a connected student.
When Jiang Zhixia gently called Cheng Xi “Xixi,” everyone felt it was a case of the weasel greeting the chicken—nothing but ill intent.
Including Cheng Xi herself.
However, no one could say anything. Last time a boy in the class tried to seek justice for Cheng Xi, he was rebutted by Jiang Zhixia in a 360-degree verbal assault. Furthermore, word was that this Big Boss truly fought boys and could actually win.
Can’t afford to provoke her, can’t afford to provoke her.
In short, Jiang Zhixia was a troublemaker and a big villain in Class 1 that even the cats and dogs avoided.
Jiang Zhixia herself was completely unaware—she hadn’t reacted to this perception yet.
“Xixi, help me tutor my physics in the future. My foundation isn’t very good, so I might need a lot of help from you.” Jiang Zhixia tried to make Cheng Xi feel her sincerity with a radiant smile. After flipping through high school physics, Jiang Zhixia discovered that the university physics she had studied was of no help; the knowledge had long since been returned to her teachers, leaving her mind a barren wasteland.
Wow, she’s actually holding onto the idea of dragging Cheng Xi’s grades down by making her teach. That’s too sinister— thought the onlookers of the class.
“If you have questions you don’t understand, you can come and ask me,” Cheng Xi accepted timidly.
If she couldn’t feel that Cheng Xi was afraid of her at this point, Jiang Zhixia would have wasted all those years in the workplace. Then, she belatedly thought about the point in time.
If she remembered correctly, she was still bullying Cheng Xi at this time.
When they were in tenth grade, Jiang Qin was their class’s Chinese teacher. At that time, Jiang Zhixia had not yet emerged from the grief of losing her mother and was very rebellious, angry that Jiang Qin had unilaterally transferred her back to No. 1 Middle School. Meanwhile, Jiang Qin was very good to Cheng Xi and exceptionally concerned. All of this made Jiang Zhixia find her intolerable. She had even over-imagined that Cheng Xi was Jiang Qin’s illegitimate daughter. Since Jiang Zhixia’s mother had passed away not long ago, she thought Jiang Qin wanted to bring this daughter back and didn’t even want to hide it.
Therefore, she frequently looked for trouble with Cheng Xi.
Though it was just small-scale bickering and not quite campus violence—Jiang Zhixia disdained doing such things. Her childish methods consisted of verbal targeting or intentionally taking away the other’s homework notebooks. Combined, it was still a headache-inducing harassment.
Even though, in reality, Cheng Xi inconspicuously reclaimed her ground every time—Jiang Zhixia’s reputation and credibility were extremely low.
In everyone’s eyes, it looked like Jiang Zhixia liked the class monitor of the neighboring class, and since that class monitor liked Cheng Xi, Jiang Zhixia always targeted her. In truth, Jiang Zhixia and that boy only had the friendship of playing games together a few times. But how could “Idol-Baggage Jiang” admit she was jealous of her father’s kindness toward Cheng Xi or that she targeted her because she suspected her of being an illegitimate daughter? So, she never denied the rumor.
Later, Jiang Zhixia learned that the reason Jiang Qin was so good to Cheng Xi was that Cheng Xi was the little girl her mother had anonymously sponsored before her death. Cheng Xi’s family circumstances were very poor. She came from a rural family that valued boys over girls. If she hadn’t met Jiang Zhixia’s mother, it would be hard to say what her fate in this life would have been. Because he didn’t want the classmates to have certain views of her, Jiang Qin didn’t mention her situation. He just took extra care of her. Who would have thought Jiang Zhixia would think so far as to even bully her?
They met again when Jiang Qin had stomach cancer and Cheng Xi happened to be responsible for him. Only then did the two meet and resolve that high school chapter. At that time, Jiang Zhixia simply wanted to go back to the past and slap herself. Such a gentle, kind, and self-reliant little girl—Jiang Zhixia, you little piece of trash, you actually bullied her.
And now, she truly had returned to her youth.
Jiang Zhixia looked at the little girl before her with pity. Sigh, why didn’t I see back then that this was a weak and helpless child? Kind and yet resilient. Fate kissed her with pain, but she responded with a song. Moreover, she was good-looking. With such a beautiful little fairy, how could she have been so foolish back then?
Cheng Xi inconspicuously lowered her eyelashes and sat back, feigning unease.
“It’s like this, Xixi. I’ve turned over a new leaf and am studying hard now. I’m truly sorry for always bullying you before.” Jiang Zhixia’s gaze was extremely sincere as she expressed what she wanted to say.
“It… it doesn’t matter.” Cheng Xi seemed a bit at a loss and tried to show a friendly smile.
Looking at the other’s cute appearance, Jiang Zhixia couldn’t help but pat her hair. “Xixi is the cutest.”
Thus, for the next day, the entire class witnessed the Campus Boss acting like a sycophant.
Getting hot water for Cheng Xi after class, bringing her milk after returning from lunch, speaking in a soft voice, and asking questions from time to time.
Seeing this scene, the classmates didn’t feel the Great Demon King had laid down her blade and moved toward peace today, instead, they felt she must be brewing some big move.
Speaking of which, she had been very abnormal lately.
“Study Rep, you should still be a bit careful. Jiang Zhixia is so abnormal today. Who knows what she wants to do.” The little girl coming to ask a question was worried and gave a cautious reminder.
“Mhm, I know, thank you. She probably won’t do anything to me. After all, Student Jiang Zhixia isn’t a bad person.” Cheng Xi gave a gentle smile, though it seemed slightly forced. Then she continued to explain the problem unhurriedly. “Look at this problem, add an auxiliary line here, and then…”
The girl asking the question squeezed her fists. The Study Rep was such a good person. They would definitely protect her.
Although they feared Jiang Zhixia, Jiang Zhixia feared the teachers. Wait, that wasn’t right… she didn’t seem to fear the Dean of Students anymore either. QAQ. The little girl felt a pang in her heart.
Although Jiang Zhixia perceived her classmates’ imaginations, she had no intention of clarifying; over time, everyone would believe it. Right now, they would only feel that a mountain can be moved, but one’s nature is hard to change.
She had already moved from the shock phase of rebirth to the decadent phase, and now entered the excitement phase.
Just think!! What a beautiful picture. The old man’s health was still good, and he wasn’t suffering from the torments of illness. When Jiang Zhixia, who had dragged Jiang Qin for a physical exam on her second day back, received the report, she almost cried. This made Jiang Qin very uncomfortable; his daughter had suddenly retracted her rebellious thorns and returned to the well-behaved stage of her childhood, causing Jiang Qin’s paternal heart to gradually revive.
After his beloved wife passed away, he only had his daughter left. Previously, he was indeed helpless and sad, having no way to deal with his unprecedentedly rebellious daughter, filled with guilt and pain. Fortunately, she had now healed herself.
Therefore, when Jiang Zhixia said she wanted to learn programming and needed money to buy her own computer, Jiang Qin agreed without a second word. Even if his daughter were tricking him for a computer, he probably wouldn’t have been on guard.
Jiang Zhixia indeed hadn’t lied to Jiang Qin. Right now, domestic internet applications were in an embryonic state. Many famous applications from her past life were developed at this time. After visiting two currently bare forums, Jiang Zhixia rubbed her hands and let out a lecherous smile. Perhaps she could build her empire earlier than in her past life, and maybe even expand its borders.
She then touched her current face, which was still full of collagen and unafraid of staying up late. Compared to that future face that stayed up late fixing bugs and remained haggard even after ten jars of La Mer, it was a profit no matter how she thought about it, right?
Perhaps I am heaven’s chosen one, Jiang Zhixia thought blissfully.
Then, as expected, Jiang Zhixia the “Chosen One” encountered the cannon fodder coming to provoke her.
