Chapter 162: The Consequences of Not Listening to Su Ji
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In the afternoon, something was trending on the Internet.
#Su Ji has accepted Professor Zhu from A University as her student#
#Su Ji is the master of the head of the Calligraphy a.s.sociation!#
#Su Ji’s position in the world of calligraphy#
Pei Xi immediately sent a congratulatory message to Su Ji.
[ “You’ve finally thought it through! I told you that you should have agreed. This will be good for your image. Since you don’t have any scenes in the second episode of ‘The Billion Stars’, you have time to teach your student~” ]
Su Ji sat at the desk in her bedroom and replied to everyone’s messages.
Then, she opened her TikTok.
And wrote a 500-word advertis.e.m.e.nt and posted it.
Within a minute, many fans came to ask her if it was true.
She replied with one word.
[“Yes.”]
Then, she put away her phone and stopped looking at her fans’ messages.
She hadn’t given any online lessons since she came to the modern world, so she needed to learn from experienced people.
In the yard, w.a.n.g Zhicheng was picking herbs.
“Who are these for?” Su Ji asked when she saw him picking a small basket.
As soon as w.a.n.g Zhicheng saw her, his face was filled joy, “miss, it’s for Huichun Hall.”
As he spoke, he put the last piece into the basket. “There are a total of 100 pieces.”
Su Ji suddenly knew who to go to. “Uncle w.a.n.g, are you going to send it to them now?”
“Yes, miss.” w.a.n.g Zhicheng nodded.
“Take me with you,” Su Ji said.
“No problem. I’ll go get the car now!”
Su Ji went upstairs to change her clothes. When she came out again, two other cars were parked at the entrance.
One was a black Rolls-Royce, and the other was a green Volkswagen Beetle.
The latter was Su Cunyi’s.
w.a.n.g Zhicheng was driving his Maybach now, and the other car was left at home for Zhang Guihua and the others.
He now drove the Beetle to and from work.
The windows of the two cars were lowered at the same time.
“Where are you going? I’ll give you a lift,” Pei Huai said.
His lazy profile glowed under the sun.
Su Ji had to admit that his face was indeed very good-looking.
Pei Xi and Pei Song looked similar to him, but their looks were far inferior to his.
Su Ji was willing to pay just for this face.
Su Cunyi, on the other hand, was not as handsome. He stuck his head out of the window and said, “Su Ji, no matter where you go, I will send you.”
“…”
It just so happened that w.a.n.g Zhicheng was also driving out. Su Ji was afraid that her mother, who was working in the study, would find out and cause some unnecessary trouble, so she turned around and got into w.a.n.g Zhicheng’s car, “let’s go!”
w.a.n.g Zhicheng didn’t even have time to say h.e.l.lo to his previous master and stepped on the accelerator.
Pei Huai: “…”
Su Cunyi: “…”
Neither of them picked up Su Ji, but they saw the advertis.e.m.e.nt that Su Ji had posted on TikTok.

Pei Song, who was wearing a white coat, stood at the entrance of Huichun Hall and smoked. He looked like a G.o.d that had just descended to the mortal world.
However, when he saw the Maybach and Su Ji get out of the car with a small basket of herbs, he dropped his half-smoked cigarette.
He pushed his gla.s.ses up to make sure he was not mistaken, and subconsciously clutched his wallet tightly.
Although he still gained a profit by reselling the herbs, every time he had to pay, his heart still ached.
This basket was definitely very expensive.
Su Ji handed the basket to him generously, “Here, you don’t have to return the basket. Just transfer the money to my account.”
Pei Song hugged the basket. Every leaf was his treasure.
Su Ji lifted the curtain and entered the shop. The moment she entered, she heard a small, childish voice running towards her, “Ms. Su Ji! I missed you so much!”
Su Ji took out a lychee-flavored lollipop from her pocket.
Pei Xingxing’s eyes lit up, and as if he had just received a treasure, he held it up with both hands.
He peeled off the candy wrapper and looked at the crystal clear candy for a long time before putting it into his mouth.
Pei Xingxing happily and quietly sucked on the lollipop.
With a smile on her face, Su Ji carried him onto her lap, “Xingxing, what software do you usually use for online cla.s.ses?”
Pei Xingxing thought seriously, “the Little Sunflower app!”
“Do many people use it?” Su Ji asked.
“It’s the most popular app for online lessons!”
Su Ji nodded her head in satisfaction. She wrapped her arms around him and sent a message to her student on WeChat.
[ “The online cla.s.ses will be held on the Little Sunflower app. See you there.” ]
Zhu Mingzhang was watching his students practice calligraphy and was elated to receive his master’s message.
However, when he read the text…
Little Sunflower app?
Wasn’t this app used by kindergarten students?
It didn’t matter. Whatever the master wanted.
He was not qualified to comment.
[ “No problem!” ]
Su Ji received the reply and put her phone away.
A familiar woman’s voice was heard from behind the counter.
“h.e.l.lo, can you help me pack these medicines?”
Su Ji looked over and saw that it was Zhang Guihua’s maid, Aunt Cui.
She was the one who had accompanied Zhang Guihua last time.
Aunt Cui also saw her and nodded at her, but her att.i.tude was not respectful.
The pharmacist at the counter weighed the Chinese medicines and checked the names with her again because they were all precious herbs.
Su Ji was listening to the conversation from the side and asked, “you want to use these herbs as medicine?”
Aunt Cui didn’t intend to answer her. She just bowed slightly apologetically, “I’m sorry young miss, Old Madam has ordered me to get these. If I don’t go back with them…”
Su Ji sneered, “don’t worry. I won’t take them from you. I just want to ask if you’re planning to put them all together.”
“Yes, I will boil them together to make a tonic. Old Madam went to the temple to get the prescription,” she said impatiently.
Then, she heard Su Ji say, “these herbs have conflicting properties. Although they are nutritious, if they are boiled together, it might cause vomiting and diarrhea.”
Aunt Cui looked at her for a while and suddenly revealed a sarcastic smile. She obviously didn’t believe her.
The pharmacist knew Su Ji and knew that she had good medical skills.
However, before she could say anything, Aunt Cui had already left impatiently. “Young miss, I’m leaving now.”
Su Ji smiled. Whatever.
**
At night, Aunt Cui returned to the Su family villa.
The herbs were boiling on the stove.
According to the prescription she got, every herb must be present.
In the past two days, Zhang Guihua had been angry about various things. She had been lying in bed the whole day and needed this tonic to nourish her body.
When the medicine was almost done, Zhang Guihua came out of the bedroom.
Aunt Cui decided to repeat what Su Ji said today to Zhang Guihua.
Zhang Guihua immediately replied, “she’s just jealous! How dare she curse me!”
She could say whatever she wanted, but she wouldn’t be able to get such good herbs.
“Old Madam, please calm down. Don’t be angry and harm your body.”
Zhang Guihua snorted. She had planned to take the tonic herself, but now that she was reminded…
“Send some of them to my grandchildren in the hospital!”
