Chi Chan felt that Shu Jia could definitely hear her thoughts.

"But weren't these girls the most enthusiastic buyers of the Ji Siyuan series of products before?"

"This doesn't contradict their boycott of you!"

Chi Chan: "..."

"Sister Chan, you'd better watch yourself. I'm leaving now!"

After saying that, Shu Jia ran away.

Chi Chan waved Er Kang's hand, but couldn't call Shu Jia back.

Sure enough, on the way from the classroom to the school gate, Chi Chan felt the malice from the girls.

However, these girls were more enthusiastic than anyone else when it came to buying!

Her display was clearly labeled as a "series for academic geniuses," but "for academic geniuses" is a general term, not a specific one.

But when the girls were buying it, they kept asking Ji Siyuan which one he used.

Only a fool wouldn't make money when there's opportunity, so Qingqing naturally introduced them to the opportunities.

Finally, the phrase "for academic geniuses" was spread among these consumers and became known as "Ji Siyuan's style".

Now that something's happened, it's all her fault?

Has she changed her selling of "for academic geniuses" to "the same style as Ji Siyuan"?

So annoying!

These students change their minds faster than turning the pages of a book!

She's just a seller, all she wants is for her business to do well, but who can she complain to now?

o(╥﹏╥)o

"It's her! She's selling the same items as Ji Siyuan!"

Chi Chan: So, my face has already gone viral?

"She's not even that good-looking! Did she think that would attract Ji Siyuan's attention?"

Chi Chan: How did it escalate to a personal attack?

"I heard she's in the same class, her name is Chi Chan, and she sits next to Ji Siyuan!"

Chi Chan: Has my identity and class seat been doxxed?

"Damn it, I'm never buying anything from their store again!"

Chi Chan: Well—this has even affected business.

"Are you really not going to eat at Qiao Mama's anymore? And what about the milk tea and fried chicken burgers from Mimi Ice Cream? Aren't you going to buy them either?"

Chi Chan: Oh no! They even found out how many shops my family owns!

"Well—I still have to go to Qiao Mama and Mimi Ice Cream, since neither of those stores sells stationery! Humph—I'm never going to their bookstore again! I'm going to boycott that bookstore!"

Chi Chan: Weren't you quite resolute before?

"But she's the only bookstore near the school! The math teacher recommended these study guides to us yesterday. If we don't buy them from her, we'll have to take a long bus ride to Xinhua Bookstore!"

"Ah—this—then I'll buy this study guide first, and after I buy it, I'll never buy anything from their store again!"

Chi Chan: The result—that's it—that's it—? ? ?

"I saw that novel you've been wanting to read at the bookstore yesterday; it's a brand new release!"

"Ugh—damn it—I promise, this novel will be the last thing I ever buy from her!"

"Xuehai Bookstore will be adding new Douyin Comic Books this Friday!"

"Ugh—this is so awful! Can I boycott only Chi Chan and not the bookstore?"

Chi Chan: I'm tired of saying just these two words!

She underestimated the maturity level of high school girls.

Chi Chan glanced at the girl who had spoken up for him and decided that if he ran into her at the bookstore next time, he would give her a discount!

What a brilliant traitor who infiltrated the enemy ranks!

Commendable!

After listening to the whole story, Chi Chan had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

The prejudice is all directed at her, so it shouldn't have a significant impact on her business.

After all, their products are necessities!

Students, how can you not eat, drink, or study?

As long as I need to eat, drink, and study, I can't do without their shop.

As for the people and things that came after her, Chi Chan said it was all just typical girlish tactics—

It's just forming cliques, boycotting together, gossiping behind people's backs, and doing petty tricks; she doesn't care at all.

However, I still need to give Zhang Qiaoyue and Chi Minghe a heads-up beforehand, so they won't worry.

When Chi Chan returned home that evening, after finishing dinner, she stopped the couple who were about to go about their business and honestly told them everything that had happened at the academy recently, so as not to worry them.

Despite Chi Chan's attempts to downplay the main points, Zhang Qiaoyue immediately grasped the essence of the matter.

"Xiao Chan, I'm not trying to be mean, but how can you be so unethical?"

"What 'for academic geniuses only'? I think you just want to freeload off someone else's name, using 'for academic geniuses only' as a pretext."

Zhang Qiaoyue poked her head out of the kitchen and scolded Chi Chan.

You can't use this method to make your business better, can you?

This is so damaging to friendships!

Moreover, the Chi family has never done anything like taking advantage of others!

"Yes! It's obvious that the classmate doesn't want to use their name for publicity without their permission."

Chi Minghe was initially impressed by Chi Chan's quick wit, thinking how clever she was.

Seeing Zhang Qiaoyue's angry expression, Chi Minghe immediately changed his tone and his face also became serious.

Chi Chan chuckled awkwardly: "I didn't use his name directly."

It was used indirectly.

"Whether it's useful or not, you know in your heart. If you haven't done anything wrong, why are you afraid of what we say?"

Zhang Qiaoyue rolled her eyes at Chi Chan.

"Your mother is right, what you did was not right!"

Chi Chan: "I've already told Lingling that we won't be selling anymore!"

"That's more like it. Did you apologize to your classmate?"

"Yeah, they didn't say much, did they?"

Chi Chan touched her nose: "I didn't apologize. After all, his name wasn't actually on the signboard in the bookstore. If I apologized, wouldn't that be the same as admitting it?"

"What? You really are—don't you feel guilty at all?"

Zhang Qiaoyue's voice immediately rose three octaves.

Chi Chan was embarrassed and dared not speak.

"Remember to apologize to them tomorrow. It would be best to also share some of the profits from those recent sales; don't just take advantage of them!"

Zhang Qiaoyue snorted coldly.

Chi Chan had no choice but to agree: "Okay."

Chi Chan, having failed to resist, was completely demoralized.

Ji Siyuan was so angry during the day, Chi Chan felt that getting him to forgive her was harder than making the sun rise in the west.

Until the next morning, Chi Chan was trying to come up with various feasible methods, but when she got to the classroom, she still couldn't figure it out.

Today's first class is math.

As soon as get out of class ended, Chi Chan took her math textbook and moved it to the side.

"Ji, there are still some parts of the math lesson that the teacher just covered that I don't quite understand. Can we discuss them?"

Chi Chan positioned herself at the right angle, revealing a very kind and friendly smile, her face clearly showing her desire to please, and her tone was also very gentle.

Ji Siyuan, who was about to do his math homework, slammed his math book and workbook shut upon hearing this.

He switched to an English book and opened it, not even glancing at Chi Chan.

Chi Chan: "..."

He turned around sheepishly, only to meet Shu Jia's amused gaze.

One by one, they all fail and hold us back at crucial moments.

Chi Chan threw her math book on the table, walked to Shu Jia's seat, grabbed her, and pulled her out.
