"My silly daughter!"

"Even if Jiang Che really needs money, you shouldn't give it to him like that. Didn't I teach you? You have to consider other people's feelings, and among them, self-respect is one of the most important things, especially at your age..."

Xu Jingjie analyzed the mistake with Su Rongyin.

Su Rongyin realized her mistake, lowered her head deeply, and said, "I didn't think that much, I just..."

"Alright, I know you meant well."

Xu Jingjie patted her head, "But good intentions need the right approach, otherwise, it's just good intentions gone wrong, understand?"

"Yes!" Su Rongyin replied.

"And then?" Xu Jingjie continued to ask.

"Jiang Che wasn't angry. He said he doesn't lack money and won't be selling tea with milk anymore. But without selling tea, he still needs to study hard, so he doesn't have time to have lunch with me..."

"Studying is necessary, and Jiang Che isn't wrong to refuse you. Yin, mom supports you in mending this relationship, but with the College Entrance Examination approaching, maintaining your grades is still the top priority."

"I know..."

"Then why are you still unhappy?"

"After Jiang Che finished speaking, he just left. Later, his deskmate Chen Yunsong told me that they made over 10,000 in ten days selling tea with milk..."

At this point, Su Rongyin became even more dejected.

Over 10,000 in ten days? Xu Jingjie's expression was instantly astonished.

What kind of tea with milk can earn over 10,000 in ten days?

Moreover, they are students, close to the College Entrance Examination, surely juggling school and a part-time job...

If this is true.

Then Little Che can be said to have a great business talent and mind!

Xu Jingjie recalled the Jiang Che in her memory, the shy little boy from before, didn't seem like someone who could do this.

But if it's the Jiang Che she met last time... it's very possible!

When Su Rongyin said this, she was so dejected.

It seems she was hit hard.

Indeed.

She wanted to help Jiang Che with money.

But Jiang Che not only doesn't lack money, he's also very good at making it.

Her idea of using money to break the ice not only failed, but she also realized Jiang Che's excellence...

It's an epic defeat.

However... a little setback might be good for her...

And this time.

Xu Jingjie said three words to Su Rongyin again.

Persevere through setbacks!

The time for studying hard is always incredibly short.

In the blink of an eye, the second-to-last mock exam before the College Entrance Examination ended.

"The questions were so hard this time!"

"I heard they were from previous years' College Entrance Exams."

"If the College Entrance Exam is this hard... I think I might end up in a vocational school!"

On the way home from school.

There were cries of despair everywhere.

Chen Yunsong scratched his head, a bit confused, "Little Che, everyone says the questions were hard, why didn't I feel that?"

Jiang Che laughed speechlessly.

Isn't it possible that by studying with your father, your grades have improved significantly?

Jiang Che didn't point it out directly, leaving some small surprises in life.

"Rongyin..."

"Don't call me that."

"Su, how do you think you did on this exam? I thought the questions were quite simple, is there anything you don't understand? I can teach you."

"Thank you, class monitor, but I don't need it."

"Then I have two tickets to the Fran Buffet, do you have time to go with me?"

"No time."

Su Rongyin's rejection was blunt and merciless, but Qin Xiaolong also understood what "persevere through setbacks" meant, riding his bike alongside Su Rongyin, talking endlessly.

Finally, Su Rongyin's patience reached its limit, she suddenly stopped her bike, glaring at Qin Xiaolong, "Aren't you annoying? Can you stop bothering me, I'm really annoyed!"

As she finished speaking, she saw Jiang Che passing by with Chen Yunsong, and she raised her hand to greet him, "Jiang Che!"

Jiang Che didn't pay her any attention.

But she still got on her bike and chased after him.

Leaving Qin Xiaolong behind, clutching the tickets in his pocket even tighter...

When Jiang Che saw Su Rongyin catching up, he sped up, leaving Su Rongyin behind, sweating and panting... unable to catch up, almost crying out of frustration.

Am I some kind of monster? Why does he always act like he can't avoid me fast enough?

Persevere through setbacks...

Persevere through setbacks...

Thinking of her mother's words, she took a deep breath, holding back her tears.

Jiang Che!

I won't give up!

...

"Hiss!"

"Hiss!"

"Hiss..."

In the office, the continuous sounds drew the attention of all the other teachers.

"Wow, who is it, it's so hot in here, leave us some cool air, don't suck it all out!" Gu Dafei couldn't help but tease, immediately causing the teachers grading papers to burst into laughter.

"Teacher Gu, it's all because of you!" The slightly plump, thirty-something female teacher Li Mei glared at Gu Dafei.

"Because of me?" Gu Dafei pointed at himself in surprise.

Li Mei slapped a test paper onto the desk, "Take a look yourself, this student named Jiang Che from your class, his English paper."

"Is it bad?"

"Bad? It's too good! Not only full marks, but it also contains advanced grammar and colloquial expressions that only people who have lived abroad would know, I had to look up references... I even suspect this paper was done by a foreigner." Li Mei explained the opposite reason.

"Huh?"

"Let me see!"

"Is it true..."

A group of teachers gathered around, with several English teachers squeezing to the front.

And looking at the answers on the paper, they all exclaimed in amazement.

"Teacher Chen Yun, how did you teach this student?" someone asked Chen Yun.

Chen Yun was also very surprised.

Last time, Jiang Che made great progress in a small test.

With his previous English singing, Chen Yun wasn't too surprised.

But in just a few days.

Jiang Che had improved to full marks...

How did he do it?!

...

"Casey, welcome to Daxia, I have to hang up now."

"Why hang up? Is our conversation not making you happy?"

"Because in another minute, I'll have to pay an extra hour of VPN fees."

"Oh! My God! VPN? Isn't the signal good over there?"

"The signal is great!"

"Then why do you need a VPN to call me?"

"Because..."

"I see, oh, my friend, you go through so much just to call me, you're truly my best friend! Let's talk tomorrow!"

"I might not have time to chat for a while, because I'm about to take the College Entrance Examination..."

Who would pay 8 yuan an hour for a VPN just to chat?

But, I did meet an interesting girl.

Of course.

The most important thing is that she's quite pretty...
