Chapter 286: Chapter 286: Very Realistic

One by one, the classmates took their leave, clearly trying not to forget the evening. Several even gathered around Cheng Guosong.

Cheng Guosong glanced at Ji Yang before forcing a smile, "I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you, Ji. I drank too much today."

With that, he turned to Qiu Fang and said, "I apologize, Qiu. I was drunk. Next time, I’ll host a dinner to make it up to you."

After saying this, he nodded to Ji Yang and then left.

Seeing that he had sobered up, Ji Yang smiled and said, "You’ll need to be more careful when drinking next time."

When he had grabbed the other’s arm earlier, he had subconsciously injected some True Yuan into the other’s body, which indeed resolved some of his drunkenness. Thinking of True Yuan now, Ji Yang felt that there were still many abilities of his True Yuan yet to be developed.

As for Cheng Guosong having an uncle who was a deputy minister, Ji Yang didn’t really care all that much. It wasn’t just about having a helpful family; even without any help, he now had a fair amount of money and could completely live a different life.

Qiu Fang was still standing there in a daze, completely unprepared for how things had turned out.

Qiu Fang was a calculating person. This advanced training class was a great opportunity for her, and she was determined to expand her network through it.

She saw promise in Ji Yang and chose to speak up for him at crucial moments. In her opinion, Cheng Guosong wasn’t worth much more than that.

But what she had never anticipated was Cheng Guosong having such a powerful background.

Had it been in another context, even sleeping with Cheng Guosong could have been an option for her.

As Cheng Guosong said, Qiu Fang’s position had come to her unjustly. Initially just an ordinary staff member, it was after sleeping with an elderly leader that she began to climb the ranks.

However, as the old leader retired and his assistance waned, Qiu Fang distinctly felt her influence diminishing. It was only with his help that she had entered this training class. Her goal was to expand her network, and with her appearance, she believed that despite being older, she could still attract people. With the right connections, she could regain her power.

Ji Yang was an important target she got to know through the old leader. If she could forge a good relationship with Ji Yang, it might just give her the support she needed.

Another thing she was aware of was the relationship between Qiu Ling and Ji Yang. She had hoped to use the get-together for them to meet accidentally and then deepen her connection with Ji Yang through Qiu Ling.

Everything was going according to her plan, except she never expected an accident to happen—she had underestimated Cheng Guosong and had now inadvertently offended him.

All Qiu Fang could think about now was how to appease Cheng Guosong’s resentment toward her.

She had realized that Cheng Guosong did not wish to offend Ji Yang. So, would the next move be for him to direct his anger at her?

Watching the classmates leave one by one, Qiu Fang was at a loss for what to do next.

Glancing at Ji Yang, she didn’t even know whether to resent him or what else to do.

Ji Yang could see Qiu Fang’s predicament.

If Qiu Fang showed an indifferent attitude at this moment, Ji Yang would definitely have helped her. Now seeing her expression, Ji Yang knew in his heart that she was not a person he could deal with.

Of course, Ji Yang didn’t show it. After all, she had ended up offending Cheng Guosong while trying to help him. In this matter, he felt obligated to help her.
