Obsessive Tycoon and His Swan Girl
Chapter 214 - 214 214 Shes Not an Ordinary Child

Chapter 214: Chapter 214: She’s Not an Ordinary Child Chapter 214: Chapter 214: She’s Not an Ordinary Child “I saw him researching in this area and casually made a few comments in the reviews. He sent me a private message wanting me to be his mentor, with a load of his resume attached,” Jiang Zhe shrugged.

“No wonder, you know his name, and he doesn’t even know yours,” Fen Ye remarked with a sigh, “and you still haven’t acknowledged him?”

Jiang Zhe glanced at his phone, “Oh, I later forgot to log into that account.”

Everyone else: “…”

But this was something Jiang Zhe would do, and his doing so somehow made everyone else feel it was normal.

Qin Jingchen couldn’t help but chuckle, holding her hand a bit tighter.

“Then I’m quite lucky,” he whispered in Jiang Zhe’s ear.

The streetlights at the school were not so bright, casting a hazy glow over him.

Good-looking people, whatever they say, it sounds like sweet nothings, making Jiang Zhe’s ears slightly warm.

“What’s that got to do with you?” Jiang Zhe glanced at him.

“At least I got your WeChat from the beginning and locked you down.”

Not like the others, to be forgotten by Jiang Zhe, their very existence forgotten.

“Oh,” Jiang Zhe’s fox-like eyes shifted subtly as he withdrew his gaze.

Lou Qiaoyin stood to the side, originally intending to say a few words to Jiang Zhe, but after thinking about it, found herself at a loss for words and didn’t approach.

Fen Ye said with a smile, “Let’s go, time for dinner.”

“I’ll treat to coffee!” Song Xingyu immediately raised his hand.

“Coffee again and again, Song Xingyu, can’t you offer something else?” Xia Enci said with pure exasperation, “It’s late! Aren’t you afraid of dancing the night away after drinking coffee?”

“Having coffee to drink isn’t bad, what else do you want to drink?”

“At least two cups!” Xia Enci declared.

…

With Qin Jingchen involved in the arrangements, Jiang Zhe and the new energy incident, though widely reported, seldom mentioned Jiang Zhe’s name.

The journalists used terms such as ‘a student from First High School.’

The reputation of First High School improved greatly in a short period, already the best high school in Jincheng, it wasn’t a stretch to rise a notch to become a nationally key high school.

Lou Qiaoyin was also commended by the school for this.

The school planned to promote her to teach Class B.

However, Lou Qiaoyin didn’t accept the offer right away, deciding to finish teaching the unnamed class for this school year first.

The principal respected her decision.

Director Han and Lou Qiaoyin naturally treated Jiang Zhe like a treasure, barely meddling in her affairs.

Tian Wangcheng was present at the event that day and couldn’t help but regret his actions when he saw the achievements Jiang Zhe had accomplished.

Meng Yirou, though she went unnoticed in the incident that day,

was unable to hide her and her cousin’s deeds from Teacher Huang’s eyes.

In school, she was severely criticized.

Unable to swallow her pride, she had no choice but to take a two-week sick leave to recuperate at home.

However, the matter didn’t end simply.

The outsiders might think the journalists were giving Jiang Zhe a hard time, but how could Qin Jingchen not know the real instigator?

Qin He didn’t even need his arrangements, just one look from him, and he understood the message.

With a bit of probing into Meng Yirou’s recent activities, he found that upon her return from M Country, she had helped a friend’s family purchase numerous luxury goods from abroad, herself buying quite a lot.

Out of laziness for declaring them, Meng Yirou discarded several boxes of luxury jewelry and wore them on herself, treating them as her possessions and boarding the plane directly.

Those items had neither gone through customs clearance nor tax declaration.

Such trivial matters in daily life usually pass without much fuss, and Meng Yirou previously returned from abroad often with similar situations which she didn’t consider a big deal.

But this time was different.

She was resting at home and reviewing some materials when the customs office called her father.

Meng Yirou’s father, upon hearing this, didn’t think it was a big deal either and had his assistant handle it.

As someone with influence in Jincheng, he also had his own network within the customs authority.

“Let it go this time, just be a little more careful in the future,” Meng Yirou’s father simply conveyed the message to his daughter.

“I’m sorry, Dad, I didn’t think too much about it. I just wanted to save some time, and the items were gifts for Mom and my aunt. I won’t do such things again,” Meng Yirou apologized sincerely and acknowledged her mistake.

She had always been well-behaved, and naturally, Meng Yirou’s father was not going to scold her severely.

However, as night fell, the assistant rushed over in a panic.

His face was full of alarm: “Director Meng, the customs office says it’s not okay this time. Miss Meng needs to go through the customs clearance for all the items she has brought back in the past, and pay the overdue taxes, fines, and even risk administrative detention.”

Meng Yirou’s father was somewhat angry: “How did you handle this? Who did you reach out to? Such a small matter, and you let it fall on my daughter’s head?”

“Director Meng, it’s someone from Beijing,” the assistant said cautiously.

Meng Yirou’s father, as if awakening from a dream, was shocked and incredulous. The teacup he was holding tilted, and the scalding tea spilled all over the table.

Meng Yirou’s eyes widened, completely frozen in place.

She knew her father’s career had always been smooth-sailing and never troubled by such trivial issues.

Could it be because of her?

Until now, she had only offended Jiang Zhe.

Could it be her? Meng Yirou dared not pursue the thought further.

…

What Meng Yirou was thinking did not matter to Jiang Zhe.

In fact, Jiang Zhe didn’t even care about the commendation ceremony because she was very busy recently.

In Wangjia Alley, Jiang Yaowang and Jiang Xiruo went out of their way to invite her home for dinner and discuss an important matter.

Worried about Jiang Zhe feeling pressured, Jiang Xiruo quickly served her soup after Jiang Yaowang finished speaking, placing the blue and white porcelain bowl in front of her.

After listening, Jiang Zhe took a sip of the soup, her expression calm: “Grandpa, Aunt, I trust you can make the decision on your own.”

Jiang Yaowang had always known she was steadfast, and he had heard plenty about the various incidents that had transpired lately.

Hearing her say this, Jiang Yaowang felt reassured, “Don’t take this matter too seriously. However, we might have to move away from here in the future.”

“Mm,” Jiang Zhe hadn’t lived in Wangjia Alley for long and wasn’t particularly bothered.

She respected their decisions and pushed the food toward them, “You eat, too.”

After dinner, she picked up her backpack and went to her own room.

Jiang Xiruo whispered to Jiang Yaowang: “Dad, you just mentioned such a serious matter to Xiaozhe in such a casual manner, aren’t you afraid she’ll be burdened psychologically?”

“Xiruo, ever since Xiaozhe was able to handle Cai’er for you, you should have known, she’s not just any child,” Jiang Yaowang said with a meaningful tone.

Jiang Xiruo was taken aback.

Recalling the many details of daily life with Jiang Zhe together.

She suddenly realized what her father said might really be true.

…

Jiang Fanyue returned home without mentioning anything about Jiang Zhe’s new energy incident.

Fortunately, Liang Jinlan didn’t bring it up either.

With the incident frequently reported on the news, could Liang Jinlan really be completely unaware?
