The Reborn CEO Jiang Is Also Acting Coquettishly Today - Chapter 4
Chapter 4
Life is a process of ups and downs—mostly downs—and even heaven’s chosen one is no exception.
On your path forward, waves of obstacles will always appear. At such times, you must think: which heaven’s chosen one hasn’t had a few pieces of cannon fodder and low points in their life? They are just here to give you experience points! Once you clear this wave, you’ll level up in a second.
Jiang Zhixia was very good at comforting herself in this way. Thus, she never feared any problem that appeared in her life.
Consequently, upon seeing the trio in front of her, Jiang Zhixia calmly walked past carrying her trash, having zero intention of making conversation.
The wine-red-haired girl, who was puffing on a cigarette waiting for Jiang Zhixia to take the initiative to speak: …
“Hey, didn’t you see us?” The girl next to her took the initiative to share her boss’s troubles and stepped forward to block Jiang Zhixia’s path.
“Ah, I was just passing by to throw out the trash; I didn’t know you three ‘big sisters’ were doing something here?” Jiang Zhixia said with a beaming smile.
“To put it simply, I’ve taken a liking to you.” The wine-red-haired girl tried her best to make a condescending expression, but because Jiang Zhixia was taller than her, it looked somewhat comical.
“Big sister, I don’t play for that team things, wow.” Jiang Zhixia’s smile remained unchanged as she moved to continue walking forward.
“Hey, stop right there. Our boss isn’t finished talking yet.” The girl blocked her. They clearly didn’t understand what playing for that team meant, but it was obviously not a good word.
“Although your behavior last time made me very angry, we are not people who can’t tolerate others. Follow me, and I guarantee you can walk sideways in this No. 1 Middle School. How about it? If you want to do this the hard way, you’ll be leaving here horizontally today.”
“Exactly.” The two girls behind her crossed their arms, their postures disdainful.
“Pfft—” Re-experiencing the deeds of her high school days still made Jiang Zhixia feel quite embarrassed.
“Regrettably, I already have a leader to follow.” Jiang Zhixia lowered her eyebrows and leaned close to the wine-red-haired girl’s face, her expression somewhat lonely. “I can only let you ‘big sisters’ down.”
The girl was thin and tall, her figure flexible yet appearing very powerful; she leaned casually against the wall like this, still holding an incongruous trash bag. Even so, when her half-smiling gaze fell over and she playfully and provocatively called out “big sister” in a soft voice, the social Big Boss with wine-red hair still inevitably felt a bit flirted with.
“What did you say? Who is your boss? Who else dares to snatch people from me?” The wine-red-haired girl steadied her racing heart, but her posture was no longer as confident as before.
“Cough, cough.” Jiang Zhixia cleared her throat and began her utter nonsense. “Do you know the Core Socialist Values? That is the life direction I have just firmly established.”
“What?” The wine-red-haired girl wrinkled her nose. “Are you playing me?”
“Sigh, it’s like this. You see, your wine-red hair is very beautiful, and your big yellow waves also have a lot of personality.” Jiang Zhixia picked up a strand of her red hair and praised it.
Half of the anger of the three praised girls vanished, instead, they became a bit embarrassed.
“Look, we live such a life. Going to school in bright, clean classrooms, playing with like-minded partners, pursuing the beauty we want, and living more happily than most people.”
The three of them couldn’t help but nod.
“But, in this world, there are still many children who can’t afford clothes, can’t afford to go to school, can’t even eat a decent meal, and can’t even drink a sip of clean water. The things we dislike we easily throw into the trash can, while many of those things are treatments that those children cannot even dream of attaining.” Jiang Zhixia became more and more lonely as she spoke, her voice full of sadness, and she even held up the trash bag in her hand as a reference. “In comparison, how happy we are.”
The three felt a blinding light suddenly radiating from Jiang Zhixia’s body, making it impossible to look at her directly.
“Whenever I think of such a situation, my heart aches. And then to think that I have such a good opportunity, such good times, and yet I don’t work hard—how shameful this is.”
“Therefore, I am determined to study hard, earn more money, and make my every contribution for the people living in suffering. Just as the great spiritual leader said, detach from low-level interests and strive for the happiness of mankind. Whenever I think of such a future, I can’t help but feel a surge of emotion, everything else must give way. So, for the sake of the children living in suffering, I can only reject you with tears. I believe you can certainly understand this feeling. No kind person would have the heart to watch people suffer and come to harm without reaching out to help. As the boss of many sisters, you can certainly understand this feeling, right?” Jiang Zhixia’s words were earnest, her emotions were in place, and she was exceptionally infectious.
After all, before being reborn, Jiang Zhixia had just held this year’s summary meeting for her own charitable foundation. These words simply flowed out of her mouth.
The three of them had probably never seen anyone who could spout such a pile of words with such a straight face, making it so sincere, so moving, and so convincing. They seemed to be shocked for a moment and couldn’t even speak.
The wine-red-haired girl even instinctively nodded.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll head off first. I have to go back and study later—for the sake of the children in suffering.” Jiang Zhixia stood up straight, bid a quick farewell, and her long legs stretched out as she disappeared at the side of the road.
“A… a ruthless person,” the trio couldn’t help but murmur.
“Jing… Jing-jie, where are we going now?” The girl with yellow hair pulled her thoughts back from the shock and poked her boss, who was still staring blankly in the direction Jiang Zhixia had left.
“Ah… I suddenly remembered, there’s a mid-term exam tomorrow.” The wine-red-haired girl was somewhat dazed. Although Jiang Zhixia was long gone, those magic sounds were still echoing in her mind. Accompanied by her deeply immersive performance, the wine-red-haired girl felt she had been a bit brainwashed.
QAQ
“Jing-jie…” The remaining two didn’t quite believe that their battle-hardened boss had been defeated so easily by a weakling junior, although they themselves were also about to throw up.
“Forget it, we’ll corner her next time. Isn’t Lin Su and her group supposed to corner those eleventh-grade girls today? Didn’t they ask us to go take a look? Let’s go over there.” In order to maintain her image, Jing-jie forced herself to seal away Jiang Zhixia’s magic sounds and assumed her usual domineering posture, gesturing for the two to lead the way.
She urgently needed to find her state of being a delinquent girl again.
“How did that girl who got cornered offend Lin Su?” Jing-jie asked casually as she walked. Lin Su was a little mobster girl in the eleventh grade, but she was incredibly arrogant and often dragged girls who offended her directly out of their dorms to slap them. She had a very heavy aura of malice, and Jing-jie and her group didn’t like playing with her very much.
This time it was because Jing-jie and her group came to recruit Jiang Zhixia, and Lin Su, to prove her status as the eleventh-grade boss, specially asked Jing-jie to go over for a bit. In fact, it was just to prove that she was the real boss and that a coward like Jiang Zhixia wasn’t worthy.
This would be a good time to go and wash her eyes.
When Zhou Jing and her group arrived, it seemed they had already cornered the people and taught them a lesson. Six or seven girls stood in a circle, either crossing their arms or standing by with cold sneers. In the very center, two girls were surrounded: one was sitting on the ground with a red face, sobbing continuously. The other had her hair half-pulled loose, but she was still standing straight.
Has she practiced dance? She looks good just standing there—this thought instinctively jumped into the mind of Zhou Jing as she paced over. She couldn’t help but trace the other’s features in detail; she was simply a little fairy. Zhou Jing had a strong impression of this girl: top of the grade, with both talent and beauty, and word was her personality was also very good. She wasn’t a typical bookworm.
In her heart, she had an idea of how this person had offended Lin Su and felt that Lin Su was truly no good. However, being a fellow delinquent, it wasn’t easy to despise the other for being too delinquent.
“Jing-jie, you’re here,” Lin Su said with a seemingly refined smile, but the words she spoke were not elegant at all: “Wait for me to finish cleaning up these two bitches before I talk to you.”
“How did they offend you?” Zhou Jing asked, tilting her head.
“Two shameless bitches. This one on the ground is a brainless idiot. This one standing up looks like a ‘mistress’ type, specializing in seducing other people’s boyfriends.”
The person on the ground held half her face and began to sob quietly, repeatedly begging for mercy: “I’m sorry, Lin Su, I was wrong. Please let me go.”
Lin Su seemed somewhat satisfied and looked at the person standing in front of her, toying with the stick in her hand.
“B*tch, beg me a bit, maybe I’ll let you go.”
The person in front of her was neither humble nor arrogant. Even though her face bore some messy traces from being pushed and shoved, it still didn’t diminish her pure beauty.
“I really don’t know what I did wrong. Student Zhao Yang and I are truly just ordinary classmates. Even if I’ve offended you, what did Student Zhang Juan do wrong? She is innocent, let her go first.”
“Xixi…” the person sitting on the ground murmured.
As if hearing a funny joke, Lin Su snorted in disdain. “Innocent? Hahahaha, idiot, you still don’t know what she did, do you? It was this person on the ground who sold you out! I just hate you b*tches with this innocent look. Today, I’ll teach you how to be a person.”
After saying this, she gestured for the person next to her to take the stick from her hand.
Zhou Jing stood leaning against the wall with her two younger sisters to watch the show, feeling extremely uncomfortable with Lin Su’s way of speaking. She was simply even more of an idiot than Jiang Zhixia.
Just as she was thinking this, she saw a very familiar figure swaying over in a slovenly manner ahead.
