Afternoon break time.

Yu Wen held her phone excitedly and said to Jiang Yanan, "The class monitor liked Meng Gui's post, liked it!"

"Do you know what this means?"

Jiang Yanan looked and found that Meng Gui had posted pictures of a big house cleaning. She thought for a few seconds and said, "It means that Huang Zhongfei liked Meng Gui's post?"

Yu Wen was excited, "Yes, yes, it means the class monitor likes clean places!"

"Do you think there's an opportunity we can take advantage of?"

Jiang Yanan really couldn't understand her good friend's train of thought. How could she not see it?

However, Yu Wen was extremely excited. She knew how to launch the next wave; catering to someone's preferences, she could definitely win over the class monitor in one go!

Meanwhile.

In the first-floor office.

A man in his thirties in a suit entered the office with Gao Heshuai.

The man walked steadily, with a square face and defined features. His eyes were bright, and he looked very spirited. As soon as he stepped into the office, he caught the attention of all the teachers, appearing just like a business elite.

Gao Heshuai introduced, "This is my college classmate, Situ Xin, who is now leading a team in Shen City and recently came to Yuzhou to attend the Changqing Liquid Company's conference."

Upon hearing this, Teacher Qian Baoqiang hurriedly came up to shake hands, "Hello, hello."

After a simple greeting, Situ Xin said, "I've long heard that Fourth Middle School is President Shao's alma mater, and seeing it today, it truly lives up to its reputation. The student's spirit here is even better than what I've seen in Shen City."

Situ Xin had a pleasant way of talking, coupled with Gao Heshuai introducing his achievements, from leading teams to numerous accomplishments, to taking photos with internationally renowned figures, and so on. He quickly bonded with many teachers.

Situ Xin finally added all the teachers present on WeChat, claiming he planned to stay in Yuzhou for future development, not sparing Teacher Guo Ran either.

As a teacher, Guo Ran had the whole office adding Situ Xin on WeChat, and she naturally couldn't refuse. Otherwise, it would seem too unsociable, and everyone worked in the same office, so she couldn't be too willful.

Once accepted, they greeted each other, and Guo Ran found this person's WeChat Moments quite interesting:

[Congratulations to President XX on the new Lamborghini! It's not just a car; it's a symbol of success... (Lamborghini photo)]

[Today was another busy and fulfilling day! The team members are all working hard... (team photo)]

It was a bit exaggerated, but Guo Ran felt it was okay. After all, she had once gone on a blind date with Sun Zhiqiang, who was famously nicknamed "Your Strong Has Arrived," so her tolerance was quite high.

Situ Xin had a good way with words. Compared to teachers who dealt with students every day, confined in their small worlds, Situ Xin, someone mingling in society, chatted with them quite happily.

Finally, Situ Xin smoothly mentioned his difficult situation. Although he had received an invitation to Changqing Liquid's event, his deputy hadn't, so he asked the teachers if they could think of a solution.

This was quite difficult as President Shao had clearly stipulated that slots were allocated to students and were not transferable under any circumstances.

Situ Xin left disappointed, but Gao Heshuai came up with a way for him to get it from the students, though he would need to find a student willing to trade.

Because Gao Heshuai had lunch with Situ Xin at one of the top restaurants in Yuzhou, he couldn't refuse and discussed it with Shan Qingrong.

In the end, Situ Xin got an opportunity to showcase his talents.

After getting permission, Situ Xin glanced at the scenery outside the window.

In reality, he never had an invitation; this trip was just a way to get something for nothing.

...

The first session of evening self-study.

Bai Yuxia turned around to find Jiang Ning to compare test answers. Of course, she didn't seek help every moment, only when she encountered difficult questions.

Jiang Ning continued to carve the Green Jade Ring, never saying who it was for.

Bai Yuxia, in unspoken understanding, didn't ask.

Until she noticed Jiang Ning's gaze subtly shift to her hands, seemingly comparing something.

Bai Yuxia casually laid her slender, fair fingers on the edge of the desk, allowing his gaze to roam.

The waves of emotion were all hidden deep in her heart, like her slightly lowered face, blushing softly.

At this moment, this scene formed a warm and beautiful picture.

Sometimes, silence speaks louder than words.

...

Xin Youling climbed the podium with a chair.

Ever since vigorously promoting Zhang Chi's raffle, Xin Youling's prestige had greatly increased, beginning to take on a leadership demeanor. At this rate, she would form a cohort and gradually have Class 8 firmly in her grasp.

The saying goes, foresight avoids peril. Lately, occasionally catching Jiang Ning's eye, Xin Youling felt a hidden worry.

She began to recall the day she called Jiang Ning out alone, having promised him one unreasonable request.

If… if he asked her to be his girlfriend, what would she do?

Xin Youling had no idea how to refuse. Would she really become a deceitful villain?

This promise hovered over her heart like a dagger.

As she fretted, two figures appeared in the classroom door, one of them being homeroom teacher Shan Qingrong.

All conversations among classmates were muted into silence.

Bai Yuxia, holding the test paper, prepared to turn back, and Jiang Ning's voice reached her ears, "The data has been collected."

Though Bai Yuxia had a vague guess, hearing the definitive words, her heart felt like a small pebble had dropped into water, creating ripples.

Her mouth slightly lifted, dimples appearing on her cheeks, sheer delight.

"Ahem!" Shan Qingrong cleared his throat, walked up to the podium, and said to everyone, "You bury yourselves in study usually; today, I invited an elite from Shen City to talk to you about business matters and broaden your horizons."

Only then did Situ Xin step onto the podium, where all students looked and saw a man in a neatly tailored suit, a fine watch on his wrist, and quite a proper appearance, giving off an air of a commercial elite.

Situ Xin greeted with a smile, "Hello everyone, seeing your young faces really makes me feel envious! Let me introduce myself; I'm Situ Xin from the Shencheng Anrui Group. I once led..."

A string of lengthy resumes, followed by him saying, "My specialty is the 'Value Multiplication Law,' an ordinary product, after a series of meticulous plans, making its perceived value in consumers' minds vastly increase..."

He appeared confident and composed, using a lot of technical jargon that left students feeling bewildered, only thinking he seemed very professional.

Situ Xin recounted the hardships of starting a business years ago, sighing, "In fact, I really miss my student days, carefree."

Cui Yu raised his hand, "I feel tired too, you know!"

Situ Xin smiled, handsomely, and remarked, "When you think life is tiring, visit the market at 4 a.m. or an emergency room."

With these words, Shan Qingrong silently nodded, impressed.

Dong Qingfeng noticed that Jiang Yanan and her friends seemed to have a bit of admiration in their eyes for this man!

Damn!

This kind of charming, mature man easily attracts girls' admiration.

'This is my territory, and I swore to protect them, how can I give up so easily!'

'Stand up, fight back!'

Dong Qingfeng, heart and soul united, raised his head and retorted, "If you're tired, you should rest, not compare who's more tired."

Situ Xin countered, "Is the classroom a place to rest?"

Dong Qingfeng pointed to the southwest direction at Xue Yuantong, who was sleeping.

Situ Xin visibly froze for a second, only then realizing that despite his lengthy speech, a student was asleep.

He looked at Shan Qingrong, implying: 'Aren't you going to handle this?'

Shan Qingrong thought, 'I wouldn't dare!'

Situ Xin's lecture paused briefly, but he didn't stop for long and continued speaking:

"Well, it's fine. She reminds me of my team members earlier this year, who worked tirelessly for a deal, treating the company like home, with company affairs as household matters, and company people as family."

Cui Yu looked at this man with displeasure, his eyes turning cunningly, "Why treat the company as family, don't you have family?"
