Obsessive Tycoon and His Swan Girl
Chapter 133 - 133 133 I Wouldnt Be the Principal Even If You

Chapter 133: Chapter 133: I Wouldn’t Be the Principal Even If You Asked Me Chapter 133: Chapter 133: I Wouldn’t Be the Principal Even If You Asked Me Jiang Fanyue heard their conversation, and her fingers gripping the phone tightened so hard that she almost crushed it.

Jiang Zhe told Luo Qiaoyin, “Everything has been resolved. Wu Yingze deliberately drove into Xiao Meng, injuring her, and he also took up arms in an attempt to hurt me. What happens next depends on his specific sentencing.”

Luo Qiaoyin felt relieved, as Jiang Zhe’s words were always convincing and provided a great sense of security.

However, with the incident having caused such a stir, and considering that Wu Yingze’s father was some sort of chairman, could Jiang Zhe truly get out of it unscathed?

As if he had read her worries, Jiang Zhe said, “After all, we are still a country governed by law, aren’t we?”

With that thought, Luo Qiaoyin’s worries completely disappeared.

When Jiang Zhe returned to the classroom, Xiao Meng had bought her chewing gum, and Song Xingyu handed her a cola.

It was only after Jiang Zhe elaborated on Wu Yingze’s case that everyone realized it involved Bai Yilian.

Everyone felt relieved that both Xiao Meng and Jiang Zhe were not seriously harmed.

During class, Jiang Zhe finally cleared all the unread messages on her phone.

Afterward, she saw a message from Fa Pinglun: “Xiaozhe, a professor from the National Conservatory of Music is asking for your contact information.”

“Just say no,” Jiang Zhe replied with four words.

“Hahahahahahahaha.” Fa Pinglun sent a string of laughter, his triumphant chuckle almost palpable through the phone.

His messages continued: “Actually, I didn’t want to give it either, but my friend kept pestering me. With your response, it’s even easier now. Even the Beijing Music Academy wanted to invite you as a visiting professor, and you declined. Guess what, on the National Conservatory of Music’s side, they’re thinking about having you take a course in popular music.”

“But when did you get involved in this field? Don’t tell me I listened to Xu Jin’s songs, and they’re really quite good.”

“I already told them you wouldn’t have the time to go, and they just wouldn’t believe it.”

“They’re thinking of having you there as a teacher, not a student.”

Jiang Zhe replied indifferently, “Even if they wanted me as a principal, I wouldn’t go.”

Fa Pinglun had been rejected just like that before, and it took his numerous sincere efforts to finally persuade her.

Now seeing others being rejected too, Fa Pinglun felt an immense sense of satisfaction.

He immediately went to reply to his friend.

…

Due to Jiang Zhe’s swift return, Jiang Fanyue spent the whole afternoon anxious and worried.

After school, as she was walking out of the gates, a very low-key black luxury car came to a stop in front of her.

She was taken aback, the car window rolled down, and there was the face of Jian Xiliang.

“Shall we have dinner together?” Jiang Xiliang asked.

“Of course, great-uncle!” Jiang Fanyue agreed smoothly.

Her heart was pounding. Jiang Xiliang had a prominent status and position, and although she had wanted to make connections, there never seemed to be an opportunity.

In her wildest dreams, she had not imagined that Jiang Xiliang would come to her personally.

She got into Jiang Xiliang’s car and soon followed him to a private room in a fine, little restaurant.

In front of Jiang Xiliang, Jiang Fanyue felt quite uneasy, trying her best to maintain her self-possession.

Jiang Xiliang ordered the food, and while waiting, he asked, “I heard you’re studying music too?”

With that one sentence, Jiang Fanyue’s mood plummeted.

Also studying music.

That is to say, it was Jiang Zhe who first caught the attention of Jian Xiliang, which then caused him to notice her.

Otherwise, all these years, she had been studying music and had not heard Jian Xiliang mention it even once.

Jiang Fanyue felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head, but it actually calmed her down considerably. She said softly, “Yes, I’ve been studying all along. I’ve learned both piano and violin.”

“That’s quite good.” Jian Xiliang indeed noticed their family because of Jiang Zhe.

Last time he sent a gift to Jiang Yunxuan, it was also when Jiang Zhe had just become an international piano champion.

Only after that did he notice that Jiang Fanyue’s grades were good and that she had a nominal engagement with the Gu Family.

Jian Xiliang had been wanting to climb higher over these years, but he had reached a bottleneck and found it very hard to break through.

The social relations brought about by his children’s marriages, or rather, the social relations that the younger generation expanded into different fields, were the effective means he hoped could help him break through the bottleneck.

However, Jiang Zhe didn’t share this vision of common growth.

Seeing his displeasure, Jiang Fanyue lowered her head to accept the tea brought by the waiter and poured a cup for Jian Xiliang.

Her manners were impeccable, she followed the rules precisely, and carried herself with a natural grace.

Jian Xiliang picked up the cup and took a sip before he started talking, “Since that’s the case, study hard. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, come to me.”

“Of course, I will!” Jiang Fanyue quickly took out her phone, scanned the QR code that Jian Xiliang passed over, and added his WeChat.

Even though Jian Xiliang clearly favored Jiang Zhe initially and chose her as a fallback, Jiang Fanyue truly felt wronged inside.

But this did not diminish her fighting spirit. Even if she was only a secondary option for now, who’s to say she wouldn’t become the primary, or even the only choice in the future!

Just like when Jiang Zhe first came to the Jiang Family, she received a lot of attention initially, but it wasn’t long before Fanyue stole everyone’s affection from her.

And just like Gu Jiaheng, who was utterly bewitched by Jiang Zhe’s beauty but in the end still chose her and disregarded Jiang Zhe completely.

Jiang Fanyue clenched her fists resolutely. It was Jiang Zhe herself who didn’t cherish the opportunity and ruined the goodwill people had for her. She couldn’t blame anyone else for that.

Jian Xiliang didn’t expect much from Jiang Fanyue for now; he had said what needed to be said and extended the goodwill that had to be given. Without waiting for the meal to arrive, he picked up his jacket, “You eat by yourself, I’ve already paid.”

After he spoke, he picked up a phone call and disappeared from the private room.

Jiang Fanyue did not take offense. A person like Jian Xiliang was naturally busy.

She ate hurriedly and soon returned home.

Liang Jinlan, frustrated that Jiang Zhe had not been punished, was complaining while sipping her tea.

“Mom,” Jiang Fanyue approached her with a smiling face.

“You can still smile. I see that there are countless people cursing you online. Who knows how many of them are Jiang Zhe’s paid commenters.”

Liang Jinlan glanced at the messages on Weibo and felt a pain in her chest.

The events of last night were clearly still fermenting, with the spread of Jiang Fanyue riding on the coat-tails of fame and stealing songs not stopping.

Xu Jin had already restrained her fans.

But the fans’ anger was not so easily contained, and given that Xu Jin had mostly casual fans scattered everywhere, not playing with the major fan groups, they were harder to guide.

Liang Jinlan had gone out to play mahjong in the afternoon, and the ladies she played with had subtly asked her about the incident.

When these wealthy ladies got together to play mahjong, they would flatter each other when things were fine; but when something happened, each of them would act sweet but feel bitter inside, all eager to poke at the other’s sore spot.

Liang Jinlan was so annoyed that she left and went home after just a couple of hands.

Now seeing Jiang Fanyue come back home all smiles, she naturally didn’t feel comfortable.
