Chapter 87: 087 Self-Indulgent

Before school was dismissed, the news that the chairman and CEO of the Jiang Consortium would attend their weekend psychology lecture had spread among the students.

The one most interested in this news from Class One was Zhou Yao, who had long wanted to witness the true appearance of this major CEO.

Initially, Jiang Yunzhou thought it must be a rumor; however, when he went to the office to submit his homework and heard the directors there also discussing it, he believed it was true.

What had gotten into his young uncle recently?

Why would he agree to attend such a boring psychology lecture?

Even if he was to attend, it would have made more sense to attend the opening ceremony at the beginning of the term.

Jiang Yunzhou thought carefully, feeling that his uncle had indeed been appearing near their school quite often recently.

Then it dawned on him.

Could it be that his uncle was interested in... the prospects of the education industry?!

In any case, since his uncle was coming over the weekend, he could hitch a ride in his uncle’s luxury car.

Happy~

The news that spread among the students wasn’t only that the CEO of Jiang would come to the school, but also that the Jiang Consortium had been sponsoring First Middle School for several years already.

Jiang Yunzhou had heard about this before, but it was the first time for most of the students to know this.

Typically, sponsors are very proactive in attending every school event, as it’s a great opportunity to promote their enterprises and engrain a good image of their company into the hearts of each young citizen.

It was rare for enterprises like the Jiang Consortium, which had sponsored Beijing No.1 Middle School with a large amount for several years, yet had never shown up at the school.

It seemed that Mr. Jiang’s investment was indeed pure, with no other emotions mixed in, simply aimed to contribute to the national educational cause.

Admirable!

The students quickly made connections.

No wonder that in last year’s sports day, the school provided every participating student with a set of professional sportswear.

By a patriotic major brand!

And recently, the cafeteria’s meals had suddenly become so rich, just like those of a five-star hotel.

You could see the funds burning everywhere.

It turned out the school had secured a rich sponsor.

Zhou Yao was extremely excited, "Since we’re attending a school sponsored by Mr. Jiang, does that mean... we are also Mr. Jiang’s people?"

The other girls in Class One didn’t dare to be as bold as her in making such explicit comments.

They just covered their mouths and giggled at her naughtiness.

Xia Yourong sighed. It wasn’t their fault they seemed so naive.

Unlike herself, they didn’t have the chance to meet Jiang Uncle in private.

If they knew she had not only met Jiang Uncle in private a few times but had also ridden in his car, they would probably jump from excitement.

However, then she remembered Xia Ye who had sat in Jiang Uncle’s car with her that time, a trace of malicious light crossing her expression.

Listening to those girls still discussing Jiang Xuan, she proudly adjusted her books, "You guys are quite progressive, but I think Jiang Uncle is a bit too old. It’s better to be with someone our own age to have more common topics."

While speaking, she glanced toward the back to where Jiang Yunzhou was seated.

But Jiang Yunzhou wasn’t looking at her.

Zhou Yao said, "He’s not even 30 yet, how is that considered old?"

Xia Yourong smiled, "But we aren’t even 20, are we?"

Zhou Yao then argued with her, "They say older men are more caring, and he is the fabulously wealthy Mr. Jiang after all. If you could be with him, you wouldn’t have to struggle in this lifetime."

Xia Yourong confidently replied, "What’s the fun in that? I think it’s more interesting if two people struggle together."

Zhou Yao enviously clicked her tongue, "You really sound like a lady, saying things like that. You can tell you’ve never lived a hard life."

She couldn’t do it.

The boys had long been tired of hearing this group of girls discussing Mr. Jiang all the time.

Especially Zhou Yao, who talked the most enthusiastically.

The type of girl boys disliked the most.

Now hearing Xia Yourong say this, it simply couldn’t be more healing.

"Nowadays, it’s really rare to find a school beauty who isn’t vain at all."

"They really should teach those materialistic girls a lesson."

"Xiaorong really is a lotus unblemished by mud."

The last statement was made by Tian Ye.

Now, looking at class 19.

If it were the start of the World Cup, a new gaming console release, or the premiere of a show with two male leads, their class would definitely go wild.

But news like a big businessman coming to attend a school event doesn’t excite them as much as the former scenarios.

It was only discussed among a few girls interested in the Jiang Family gossip, and it never became a popular topic.

Most of them were just annoyed about their weekend being half taken up again.

So when Xia Ye found out that Jiang Xuan was coming to the school, it was already Friday.

And Jiang Xuan only found out he was supposed to attend a psychological lecture at First Middle School during a WeChat chat with Xia Ye on Friday!

The chat went like this.

First, he received a message from Xia Ye on WeChat.

Blind Heaven: You’re coming to our school this weekend?

Jiang Xuan thought Xia Ye meant there was extra class on the weekend, and she was inviting him to pick her up from school.

So he replied with a rather self-flattering comment...

Jiang: Do you want me to come?

A second later.

Blind Heaven: No.

Blind Heaven: If you don’t come, the principal might cancel the lecture, and I could go out and have fun.

Jiang Xuan’s handsome face darkened as he realized something was off.

After a call through an internal line, Dong Mao and Shen Jing left their work and lined up neatly across his desk.

Both wearing expressions of heroic sacrifice.

The last person who changed Jiang Xuan’s schedule without permission was an employee bought off by Jian Manman, and was told to leave the same day by the HR department.

But Shen Jing and Dong Mao were neither fired nor had their salaries docked, and after just a "be more careful next time," they left the CEO’s office.

What was the reason for this?

Was it because Jiang Xuan favored Dong Mao and Shen Jing?

No.

It was because the previous employee changed the schedule to make Jiang Xuan meet with Jian Manman.

But Shen Jing and Dong Mao changed the schedule for him to meet with Xia Ye.

That was the difference.

Since Jiang Xuan was free that day anyway, and apparently, the school had already prepared a big welcome banner for him.

Initially, he had refused Tian Hanwen’s invitation just because he felt it was unnecessary, not for any other reason.

Since that was the case... well, he might as well go.

**

Saturday, 1:30 PM.

The miserable seniors trickled into the campus.

Xia Ye had set out directly from home today, driven by Wang Dahai, alongside Xia Yourong.

Although Xia Yourong usually liked to show her concern for her younger sister in front of family at home, today it was especially evident.

Before leaving, even Qiao Yufen couldn’t help telling Xia Yourong, "You don’t need to be so nice to her. High school seniors have a lot of study pressure, just take care of yourself."

Xia Yourong was very sensible: "She’s my sister, how could I not be nice to her?"

Qiao Yufen shook her head, "I hope she appreciates all the good you’re doing for her."

Xia Ye figured it out.

Xia Yourong was— not holding it in well.
