Chapter 92, Let's Talk About Work Again
"Producer~"
"Yan Xi~"
"Producer~"
"Yan Xi~"
"Mmm~mua!"
"Yan Xi!!!"
Startled awake, Yan Xi groggily awoke from her bubbly, pink-tinged sleep. She drowsily wiped her face, and as soon as her vision focused, she saw her middle-aged, still heavily made-up female teacher staring at her with eyes like a predatory tiger.
Yan Xi forced herself to sit up straight, waved her hand to indicate that she was alright, and then leaned back weakly against the chair back.
"This joint performance by ten schools is not only to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the founding of the ten schools, but also to commemorate the major disaster that occurred last week. It is definitely the most grand one in history."
The female teacher paced back and forth on the podium with an air of oppressive authority. "The sponsors include well-known large entertainment companies in Yincheng such as Xianmeng Group and Yinfu Entertainment. With world-renowned online exposure, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you to potentially make a name for yourselves!"
She abruptly stopped, her gaze sweeping across the room: "You are a team! But some students may think that because they've already signed with Yinfu Entertainment, they can rest easy and be carefree. But this is dragging down other students who want to work hard and strive for good results. My team will never allow such pests!"
"In the time leading up to the ten-school joint performance, I will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your abilities! Ultimately, more than half of you will be leaving here. If you cannot fully commit yourself, then I advise you not to waste your time."
The sharp, disciplinary voices continued incessantly.
Yan Xi lowered his eyes, his expression more gloomy than anyone could have imagined.
The students around her felt her cold and aloof aura, and they all shrank back, not daring to look at her.
Only Shen Caihua, who was sitting in the back, cautiously poked her shoulder.
"Lulu, what happened?"
Yan Xi didn't move, and replied in a low voice, "No."
"But you haven't been behaving well these past few days. Ever since classes started, you've always looked angry and like you're about to explode..." Shen Caihua continued, still worried. "If you encounter any difficulties, just let me know. We're friends, and I'll definitely help you..."
"I told you no! Didn't you understand?!"
Yan Xi suddenly roared.
The classroom fell into a deathly silence as everyone looked at her.
Shen Caihua stared blankly, her face showing grievance, her eyes welling up with tears: "I...I was just concerned about you! How could you yell at me..."
"sorry."
Yan Xi's emotions cooled quickly. After apologizing, she grabbed her bag and left the classroom in full view of everyone.
A sudden uproar erupted in the classroom behind her, but she no longer cared.
The Seventh Academy campus is very large, and the students coming and going chat and laugh, having already emerged from the shadow of the city's disaster.
Only Yan Xi is still trapped inside, trapped a week ago.
She found a bench under the shade of a tree, sat down, and listlessly looked up, gazing at the blinding sunlight through the dappled shadows of the trees.
"well…"
That kiss kept replaying in her dreams.
A ridiculous, childish fantasy was shattered, making Yan Xi feel like she was just a clown.
What should we do?
She thought to herself, lost in thought.
Pretending to know nothing is naturally the best choice, but encountering him at the company, at the college, or at any random turn of the road will replay the nightmarish scene in my mind.
"It's his freedom to like whomever he wants and kiss whomever he chooses. We're just boss and subordinate! It's none of my business!"
He scratched his head hysterically, acting like a madwoman.
After venting for a while, she caught a glimpse of a familiar red Morning Star X7 driving in along the campus road out of the corner of her eye. As if possessed, she hid behind a chair.
As a result, the car inconsiderately stopped right in front of her.
grunt.
Yan Xi swallowed hard, feeling a little nervous.
The car door opened, and a pair of high heels stepped out.
The domineering female CEO, wearing sunglasses, stepped out of the car with a flick of her hair.
Cheng Chen graduated from the Seventh Academy, and so did his former rival, "Sakura," with whom he had a love-hate relationship.
At the entrance of the student club building not far away, the middle-aged female teacher, who had been so aggressive just moments before, was now all smiles and led a group of students to greet them.
"Mr. Jiang! Over here! It's a pleasure to meet you!"
"Teacher Zheng, you flatter me. You taught me back then, so just call me Xiao Jiang."
Despite her polite words, Jiang Fei still stood firmly in the center of the crowd, basking in the attention of everyone.
"It's an honor for our Seventh Academy to have such an outstanding alumnus as President Jiang. Success comes first, after all. I don't want to put on airs as a mentor in front of you." The middle-aged female teacher smiled so broadly that her eyes disappeared, looking incredibly obedient.
You weren't acting like this just now!
Yan Xi was hiding behind a chair, thinking angrily, when she suddenly met Jiang Fei's gaze.
"Painting...Words?"
Jiang Fei called out.
Teacher Zheng's expression changed drastically. Suppressing her anger, she gave Yan Xi a warning look, telling her to be more polite.
Yan Xi simply turned her head away, completely ignoring them.
Jiang Fei sighed, turned to Teacher Zheng and a group of students holding up a banner that read "Welcome to visit and provide guidance," and said, "Excuse me, Teacher Zheng, my sister and I need to say a few words."
"Yan Xi is your sister, Mr. Jiang? But she isn't..."
"In our music and entertainment community, everyone addresses each other as sisters."
Jiang Fei waved her hand politely and walked straight towards the bench.
Yan Xi looked up.
Jiang Fei smiled slightly: "Want to keep me company for a bit?"
……
The two walked along the path for a while, then moved to a more secluded bench on campus, sitting on opposite ends of the path.
Yan Xi turned her head to the side, not even glancing at Jiang Fei.
The latter crossed her long, shapely legs and took off her sunglasses: "I heard about that, and I'm very sorry."
Yan Xi coldly retorted, "What is it?"
Click!
The sunglasses snapped in two in Jiang Fei's hand. The once composed female CEO gritted her teeth, "Damn it! His first kiss should have been mine! Don't you know what first come, first served?! When we were mutually attracted, that woman was watching children's channels! That damn philanderer!"
Click!Click!
The poor sunglasses were reduced to dust from being broken in two.
Yan Xi turned around and stared at her in disbelief.
Suddenly, Jiang Fei switched back to her calm and aloof CEO mode, patted the crumbs off her hands, and glanced at her sideways with disdain: "What? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"You and he have never kissed?" Yan Xi straightened up and asked.
"No, is there a problem?" Jiang Fei asked coldly.
"But didn't you just say that you and he were in love? I always thought you were dating." Yan Xi was at a loss, gesturing in the air.
"They're dating."
Jiang Fei nodded in agreement without hesitation.
A hint of suspicion flickered in Yan Xi's eyes: "Does he even know you two are dating?"
"Of course I know!" Jiang Fei patted her chest without hesitation and loudly retorted, "Although there was no explicit confession, I've known him for a long time! I was the first girl to go to his house, and I was also the first girl to have a key to his house! When he wasn't in Yincheng, I even walked his dog for him, and I even lived at his house on weekdays. If we weren't dating, would such a thing be possible?"
"Uh-huh."
Words flow like sweat from soybeans.
Jiang Fei was furious: "What do you mean?!"
"It doesn't mean anything."
Yan Xi suddenly straightened up. She had thought that she was the only one who had never kissed the producer. Now, she suddenly realized that Jiang Fei was almost the same as her, and her respect vanished instantly.
"Did the CEO come to me just to say this? Sorry, I have no interest in huddling together with losers for warmth."
"Who are you calling a loser!"
Jiang Fei was heartbroken. "If it weren't for some minor mistakes, I should have taken his first kiss before that philanderer made his move, and maybe even more! More in an adult context! Don't you understand, you little brat?"
"don't know."
Yan Xi said bluntly, "What does the president want to do? Break them up? You're the boss, you can just kick Cang Qing out of the company with a word, I can't help you with that."
"Kick him out of the company? No, no, no!"
Jiang Fei gritted her teeth, a ruthless glint in her eyes. "That's too easy on the philanderer. I'm going to teach her a lesson she'll never forget! I'll show her not to mess around with other people's boyfriends."
That's not your boyfriend.
Yan Xi reminded him again.
Jiang Fei chose to pretend she hadn't heard. She turned around and boldly extended a hand to Yan Xi: "How about it? Interested in hearing my revenge plan! Join me and let's take down this philandering cat!"
The air fell silent for a moment.
Yan Xi glanced at the hand but did not take it.
After a moment, she turned her head and said, "President, let's talk about work."
"Are you looking down on me?!"
