Jiang Xu hadn’t expected Lu Yi to call him voluntarily.
He chuckled.
“Stop bothering me,” he said before hanging up.
Then he sent a message to Lin Nan.
It was about Juhai Group’s profit model, instructing them to be careful.
In the future, they must inform him in advance about any deals that seemed too good to be true.
Honestly, as long as they were vigilant, the chances of Lu Yi succeeding were slim.
Unless he resorted to some underhanded tactics.
But that possibility was also slim.
People like him solely cared about profits and it was highly unlikely that he would risk his well-being for money.
Afterwards, Jiang Xu went to Liu Dahai’s office.
The company’s vice manager was there too.
When he saw Jiang Xu, he knelt on the spot.
“Boss, please don’t sue me. I was merely trying to earn more money to secure a better future for my daughter,” he pleaded while sobbing.
Jiang Xu was cold.
Some things were unforgivable.
Especially betrayal, acting like a traitor.
Had it not been for his past life’s memories,
he would have been tricked this time, which would’ve been a disaster.
He gestured for the manager to rise, “Get up. We’ll follow legal proceedings.”
The rest of the staff had to be informed of this incident.
Betraying the company came with a price.
“Boss, please give me another chance,” the vice manager wailed inconsolably.
But Jiang Xu remained unmoved.
Liu Dahai silently nodded in agreement.
Not being soft-hearted was the right choice.
Mercy couldn’t govern an army.
If Jiang Xu hadn’t acted this way, he would have looked down on him.
After resolving this issue, Jiang Xu went back to school.
He had put aside all matters that could be suspended.
Despite the odds being in his favor to top the provincial level,
he continued to revise every day to avoid any surprises.
After school, Jiang Xu invited Fu Yanjie and Zhang Yuanyuan to his home for some extra lessons.
With only a week left till the college entrance exams, it was time to share some key points with them.
Fu Yanjie and Zhang Yuanyuan, having studied the whole day, were not in the mood for more.
But they couldn’t resist Jiang Xu’s stern tone and followed him.
Jiang Xu had set up a small blackboard.
The lesson started with Math.
“Eve recently studied a great number of past papers and resources,
and compiled a list of questions that have a high probability of appearing in this year’s exam.
Pay close attention to this.
As long as you master the key points I teach,
I guarantee you’ll be admitted into any 211 or 985 national universities.
If you perform exceptionally, you can even aim for the top ten national universities.”
“Really?” Fu Yanjie was shocked.
Zhang Yuanyuan also thought that Jiang Xu was exaggerating a bit.
Only An Nuonuo had full trust in her eyes.
She trusted anything that Jiang Xu said unconditionally.
She was his number one die-hard fan.
Jiang Xu with a serious expression said, “I swear on my future, if it doesn’t go as I say, I’ll take care of both of you.”
Fu Yanjie and Zhang Yuanyuan immediately straightened their bodies.
Given Jiang Xu’s solemnity, it had to be the truth.
They left their nonchalance behind and started to listen seriously, taking notes.
Days passed quickly.
And soon, it was the day before the college entrance exams.
There were no classes at school on this day.
The class teacher used the class fund and some of her own money to buy a variety of snacks, fried chicken, beverages, etc.
They held their last class gathering.
“Students, tomorrow is the day that will determine the course of your lives!” the class teacher spoke somberly.
“Don’t study tonight, go home and rest well to prepare for tomorrow’s college entrance exams.
Prepare your admission ticket and stationeries in advance.
Leave early for breakfast, make sure to eat breakfast to avoid hypoglycemia…”
The class teacher had repeatedly said these things.
In the past, people didn’t take them seriously.
But now, everyone held their breaths and focused.
These were all matters that concerned their future. They had to be cautious.
After repeating the instructions for the next day, the class teacher smiled and said, “Alright, go ahead and enjoy yourselves.”
“Woah!”
The whole class sprang up.
Some of the more active students sang a few songs.
With them leading, more students decided to perform.
The atmosphere grew warm.
The class teacher left after a while.
His presence didn’t allow some students to be themselves.
After the class teacher left, some students started confessing their feelings to others.
Their high school life was about to end and they couldn’t leave any regrets.
Some confessions were accepted, others were rejected.
After playing around, many students went out to the hallway with their school bags and started tearing books.
Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo didn’t follow the crowd.
Even though those books would be useless in the future,
keeping them would serve as a memory of their youth.
Many years later, when surrounded by children and grandchildren, occasionally taking out and glancing at those books,
sharing stories about their youth would be a nice thing to do.
Everyone took out their notebooks and had each student write down a sentence as a keepsake.
In the end, they took a class group photo.
The gathering lasted for about two to three hours.
Then everyone dispersed.
Walking on the asphalt road, An Nuonuo seemed visibly upset.
Jiang Xu knew she was feeling sad about the impending departure and didn’t console her.
Such feelings could only be processed personally.
After returning home, Chen Yue had cooked a table full of dishes.
Li Yuanjuan had come as well.
Surprisingly, An Feng was there too.
He seemed comfortable with Li Yuanjuan.
“Mom… dad…” An Nuonuo timidly called out,
as if she was afraid a louder voice would disrupt the scene in front of her.
An Feng said with a smile, “Tomorrow is the college entrance examination, let’s have a meal together.
As a father, I wish both of you top marks.”
Jiang Xu thought to himself, ‘You conveniently left out the part about sharing a bridal chamber, didn’t you…’
The seniors each spoke some words of blessing.
After that, they began to eat.
Everyone wisely refrained from bringing up any upsetting matters.
After dinner, An Feng and Li Yuanjuan left one after the other.
Chen Yue and Jiang Shan stayed for a while before leaving.
Jiang Xu tousled An Nuonuo’s hair, “Did you set the alarm?”
“Yes, it’s all set.”
Jiang Xu checked the time, it was half past nine.
He said, “Let’s go to bed early today. Perform normally tomorrow.”
“Okay, goodnight brother. Let’s all do our best,” she replied.
“Ah,” Jiang Xu sighed, “It’s a pity, once we get to college, we’ll have to part ways.”
An Nuonuo’s eyes blinked but she didn’t say anything.
The next day at 730 a.m., both of them woke up.
The college entrance examination, began!!
