Chapter 411: Center of Attention
Shangguan Ting’er was very disappointed when she heard Xi Chenxiao’s words. She had thought that with old Master Xi’s support, she could return to Xi Chenxiao’s side and chase Su Jin away. But Xi Chenxiao did not appreciate it at all. Shangguan Ting’er said,
“No. I only want to be your personal secretary. Other positions…”
Before she could finish, Xi Chenxiao’s cold voice interrupted. He had no patience to continue this nonsense with Shangguan. He wanted to get Shangguan Ting’er out as soon as possible.
“Xi Shi, take her now to pick any other position.”
Xi Chenxiao then ignored the two of them. His expression was very gloomy as he thought about his grandfather’s overbearing move. Grandpa Xi actually sent Shangguan Ting’er here to be his spy? Did he think that Shangguan would get her way just because she’s near him all the time?
!!
Xi Shi also felt very helpless. He did not understand why the wise chairman liked the good-for-nothing so much. Miss Shangguan was so much better. She was from a prestigious family, so well-matched with the chairman, and she was the granddaughter-in-law that the old man wanted. Unfortunately, the chairman had the final say, so he could only respond helplessly,
“Miss Shangguan, let’s go!”
Shangguan Ting’er was also very angry. She did not understand why Xi Chenxiao didn’t like her. She was clearly the best match for Xi Chenxiao. She suppressed her anger and said with a smile,
“Okay, Xi Shi.”
Shangguan Ting’er also figured that it didn’t matter that much if she wasn’t Xi Chenxiao’s personal secretary. She would still be with Xi Chenxiao every day. After all, they would be working in the same office and she could come to the chairman’s office whenever she liked. Sooner or later, Xi Chenxiao would fall in love with her and get rid of that piece of trash.
At the school, Su Jin became the center of attention as soon as she entered the school gates. Everyone was looking at her and no one dared to say that she was a piece of trash or talk about her cheating in her exams. After all, at the school a.s.sembly the princ.i.p.al called yesterday, many students had gone up on stage to quiz Su Jin.
And Su Jin had answered all the questions flawlessly, and within seconds. She was simply amazing. Su Jin was now a big shot with looks as well as skills.
When Su Jin entered the cla.s.sroom, the noisy cla.s.s immediately quieted down. No one dared to speak or look at Su Jin. After all, they had all placed large bets against Su Jin.
If it was before, they were still able to afford their losses although they might have to eat dirt for a while. But because of the bet on the school forum, many of them had betted all their money, some even with borrowed money. They were absolutely broke now, some with huge amounts of debt. They couldn’t pay Su Jin at all.
Pang Lili was very happy when she saw Su Jin. Su Jin had won after all. Before this, she was worried what would happen if Su Jin lost because she was totally incapable of helping her friend. Pang Lili said happily to Su Jin,
“Sister, Sister Su, I, I admire you too much. In future, can you help me too? I also want to do better in my studies.”
When Su Jin heard this, the corners of her mouth rose slightly. No one was calling her a piece of trash now? Didn’t they all look down on her before? She patted Pang Lili’s back and nodded as she said,
“Sure. If you are willing to work hard, I will definitely help you with your studies so you could surpa.s.s the two-faced hypocrite Pang Nana.”
Pang Lili nodded happily when she heard this. Actually, it wasn’t that she didn’t study hard. It was because she returned from the countryside and the things she learned there were different from what she’s learning here. She just couldn’t keep up. Now that she had Su Jin’s help, she believed she would do better. Pang Lili said excitedly,
“Sister, Sister Su, thank you. I’m so, so very happy.”
Su Jin was stunned for a moment when she heard Pang Lili. Didn’t this girl stop stuttering when they went back to her house last time? Why did this chubby girl stutter again? She said calmly to Pang Lili,
“Alright, go and read some books first. When it’s time to eat, I have something to ask you.”
Pang Lili nodded quickly, returned to her seat, took out a book and began to study. As Su Jin’s good friend, her grades shouldn’t be too bad because she shouldn’t embarra.s.s Su Jin. Of course, more importantly, she had to surpa.s.s Pang Nana.
