Rebirth: Striving for a Better Life

At 32 years old, Chi Chan, single since birth, lived a struggling life, exhausted every day just to survive.

At 16 years old, Chi Chan was spirited and full of confidence, ready to enter a ne...

Chapter 58 Chi Chan pretends to be stupid

"Bang—bang—bang—"

Chi Chan straightened up instantly. It was time for morning self-study, and the homeroom teacher was coming!

Why didn't Shu Jia call her in advance?

Sleepiness had long since vanished.

Upon closer inspection, she realized that it was Ji Siyuan who had knocked on her table.

Chi Chan's temper flared up immediately after being disturbed!

"Ji Siyuan, why are you banging on my table?"

Isn't this disturbing my peaceful sleep?

This is so annoying so early in the morning!

"Chi Chan, could you please come out for a moment? I have something to tell you!"

At this moment, Ji Siyuan's face was ashen and dark.

Chi Chan was stunned. She admitted that she was a bit grumpy when she woke up and had spoken a little too loudly, but was it necessary to call her outside to scold her?

Chi Chan chickened out.

Chi Chan, who was following Ji Siyuan wholeheartedly, did not notice that Ji Siyuan was still holding a bag in his hand.

The "Xuehai Bookstore" logo on the bag is exceptionally eye-catching.

"Explain!"

The two walked to the corner at the end of the corridor, which was essentially a blind spot. It was almost time for morning self-study, so there was no one around.

When Chi Chan saw the bag, her mind suddenly cleared up!

It contained all the stationery and books that Ji Siyuan used, from the "Study God's Special Series".

This is a very bad situation.

Chi Chan felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy, but on the surface she remained perfectly calm, even revealing a perfectly appropriate hint of doubt.

"Ji Siyuan, what are you saying? I don't understand. Do you need me to explain something?"

"What do you need to explain? Don't you know the answer yourself?"

Ji Siyuan's face was as cold as frost.

With a wave of his hand, he threw the thing in his hand to Chi Chan's feet.

Stationery was scattered all over the floor.

"These are all new stationery items, Ji, don't you want them?"

Chi Chan felt that her current skill in playing dumb was comparable to that of an Oscar-winning actress.

As soon as she finished speaking, Chi Chan quickly bent down to pick up the stationery scattered all over the ground, put it back into the bag, and handed it to Ji Siyuan.

Ji Siyuan dodged, and Chi Chan delivered nothing.

"Still playing dumb with me?"

Ji Siyuan made it clear directly.

"Stop pretending to be stupid, Ji, what you're saying is really—"

Chi Chan waved her hand, appearing very magnanimous and not at all bothered by Ji Siyuan's actions.

"These stationery items are no longer allowed to be sold in bookstores!"

Ji Siyuan didn't waste words with Chi Chan and went straight to the point.

"Every stationery store sells these items, so why can't our bookstore sell them? That's a really domineering thing to say."

"Did you get my permission to use me to advertise your bookstore? And you have the nerve to call me domineering?"

Ji Siyuan's face was so dark it looked like it could drip water.

"This...this...you can't say that. I didn't use the name Ji Siyuan in an advertisement!"

Besides, I run a business, so of course I sell whatever people want to buy.

There are only so many stationery brands on the market. I can't just stop selling to you just because Ji Siyuan uses this brand, can I?

You can't stop people from selling stationery just because Ji Siyuan is using it, can you?

How am I supposed to make money then?

Chi Chan became more and more confident as she spoke, and Ji Siyuan couldn't find any fault with her.

After all, these are the same products that Ji Siyuan chose himself. Her family has many products in the "Study God Special" series, not just those that Ji Siyuan uses!

However, among the products specially designed for academic geniuses, the one endorsed by Ji Siyuan is the best-selling!

But this has nothing to do with her; it's the students' own choice and preferences!

As a seller, she accurately grasped the psychology of consumers, and had the most and most of the same products as Ji Siyuan.

That's all.

"Ha—you're quite the sharp-tongued one!"

Ji Siyuan sneered, and Chi Chan felt the temperature around her drop several degrees.

"Thank you for the compliment!"

Chi Chan smiled stiffly, her straight back bending slightly.

I felt a little guilty because I had taken advantage of them.

"Shameless to the extreme," Ji Siyuan thought angrily.

"I absolutely hate using the same things as other people!"

"This is not a good habit. Ji, aren't your textbooks, desks, chairs, school uniforms, and everything else the same as everyone else's?"

Chi Chan chuckled dryly.

Ji Siyuan's forehead veins throbbed; he felt that Chi Chan was simply the most shameless person he had ever met.

That's absolutely shameless!

Even though the point has been made so clear, I can still argue with him without changing my expression, but I can't get to the point.

What a waste of his time.

Ji Siyuan stared coldly at Chi Chan, his gaze unwavering.

Just as Chi Chan felt uneasy from being stared at, Ji Siyuan turned and left.

Chi Chan breathed a sigh of relief; she had passed Ji Siyuan's test.

However, to avoid future trouble, let's discontinue the student-specific series!

Display these items separately to reduce their visual impact!

Fortunately, the bookstore has already established a reputation, and sales of tutoring and novel books have picked up, which are the main source of the bookstore's profits.

Chi Chan carried the stationery that Ji Siyuan didn't want into the classroom and found it so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Without a doubt, everyone was listening intently for the gossip.

Ji Siyuan had already returned to his seat, where an English textbook stood upright, obscuring his expression.

Chi Chan quietly walked to her seat and sat down, placing her stationery bag on the table.

"What happened? As soon as Ji Siyuan came back, he threw all his stationery, study guides, and other miscellaneous books into the trash can!"

Shu Jia leaned close to Chi Chan's ear, thinking she was speaking very softly.
