After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the teaching building. Jun Jiuge stared at his departing figure with a complex mix of emotions.

As they approached the corner, Yan Luoheng suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at her, saying, "From today onwards, I am also your teacher. I don't want my students to be late."

Jun Jiuge's hands unconsciously clenched into fists. She didn't believe he came here without a purpose, but what exactly was his purpose?

Qiao Xi was anxiously waiting for her to return. Qiao Xi had secretly helped her take the roll call just now, and it would be very bad if she didn't come back quickly and was discovered.

Li Xiaoxiao felt the same way as Qiao Xi. Fortunately, Jun Jiuge finally appeared, taking advantage of the teacher's inattention to sneak into the classroom.

Qiao Xi breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Where did you go?"

"Restroom," Jun Jiuge replied coldly.

Qiao Xi couldn't help but be concerned for her, "Are you alright?"

"fine."

"If you're not feeling well, don't force yourself."

"I'm fine, go to class."

Jun Jiuge had no interest in listening to the teacher's lesson. She knew she couldn't stay here any longer, but what if Yan Luoheng really went after the Jun family if she left?

She couldn't really abandon them, but if she didn't leave this place, she didn't think Yan Luoheng would let her go!

After class ended, Jun Jiuge was still feeling uneasy. Qiao Xi noticed that her complexion was not right and subconsciously reached out to touch her forehead, only to find her hand covered in cold sweat. "Are you really okay? Why are you sweating so much?"

Jun Jiuge reacted a beat too slow and slapped Qiao Xi's hand away, saying unappreciatively, "I'm fine, don't touch me."

"Shall I go with you to the infirmary?" Qiao Xi was genuinely worried about her.

"No need." Jun Jiuge impatiently refused her offer again and got up from her seat.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoxiao ran over and asked Qiao Xi, "Is Ninth Master alright?"

"She should be fine." Qiao Xi didn't know what was wrong with her either. The relationship between the two of them had finally eased up, but it seemed like they had gone back to square one.

Li Xiaoxiao didn't think much of what Qiao Xi said. She rested her chin on her hand and said dejectedly, "There's no handsome professor teaching today."

"Do you know which course he teaches?" Qiao Xi asked casually.

"Practical jewelry making exercise," Li Xiaoxiao answered the question very seriously.

"That new course that was just added?" Qiao Xi had a deep impression of this course, and not only Qiao Xi, but the other students in the class should also have a deep impression of it, after all, it was just added a few days ago, and it officially started this week.

This course was originally scheduled for the second semester of the sophomore year, but it was suddenly moved to the first semester of the sophomore year.

"Yes." Li Xiaoxiao nodded solemnly.

"Two classes a week, tomorrow afternoon." Qiao Xi gave her a definite date to meet the boy, which she already knew herself.

"Sigh." Li Xiaoxiao looked impatient. "We have to wait until tomorrow. That's too long."

Qiao Xi then comforted her, saying, "Maybe when you see him tomorrow, you'll find that your wait was worthwhile."

"Absolutely." Li Xiaoxiao was certain of this fact.

The thought of meeting the handsome professor tomorrow instantly brightened her mood, and she pulled Qiao Xi aside, saying, "Want to have dinner together tonight? I found a new place..."

"My mom is waiting for me to come home for dinner." Qiao Xi blurted out an excuse that even she herself couldn't believe, but fortunately it fooled Li Xiaoxiao.

However, Li Xiaoxiao wasn't stupid. It was only when Qiao Xi walked out of the classroom that she realized, "Hey, wait a minute, Qiao Xi, isn't your mom..."

...

Dihua Group, President's Office.

With Qi Jincheng's permission, He Fan brought Jun Shu to the office. "President, President Jun is here."

Jun Shu also bowed deeply to Qi Jincheng politely, "President Qi."

Qi Jincheng put away the documents he was reviewing and gestured for her to sit down.

After giving Qi Jincheng a meaningful look, He Fan left first.

Jun Shu knew that Qi Jincheng was not someone who liked to waste time, so she immediately handed him the contract after sitting down. "This is the contract. Please take a look."

Qi Jincheng reached out and took the contract from her, but did not read it on the spot; instead, he put it aside.

Jun Shu thought he would take a look, which would clarify the issue of the remaining funds, but he didn't even glance at it.

Left with no other choice, Jun Shu had to bring it up herself, "When would be a convenient time for you to transfer the remaining investment funds and the money for those three diamonds?"

"Follow the contract," Qi Jincheng replied succinctly.

After he finished speaking, he continued reviewing the documents, and it wasn't until a while later that he realized she hadn't left yet.

Qi Jincheng looked up again and asked in a low voice, "Is there a problem?"

Jun Shu knew she had no way out, so she could only bite the bullet and negotiate with him: "Mr. Qi, as you know, Jun Shang Jewelry is experiencing cash flow problems, and we urgently need investment. What do you think of this..."

"President Jun." Qi Jincheng interrupted her before she could finish speaking.

Jun Shu paused for a moment, then asked him without any temper, "President Qi, please feel free to say whatever you want. From now on, we are in a cooperative relationship, and the most important thing in cooperation is honesty."

Everyone in Beijing's business circles knows that Jun Shu, the president of Junshang Group, is always decisive and efficient, and she rarely bows her head to anyone. It's estimated that there are very few times when she has to be so humble as she is now.

But there was no other way. In order for Junshang to continue to survive, she had no choice but to bow down in the face of powerful capital like Qi Jincheng.

Qi Jincheng met with her not because of the contract she brought.

If it's just a contract, it doesn't matter who delivers it. Even if she comes, he won't meet her in person. The reason he let her into this office is because he has another purpose.

Qi Jincheng put all the documents in his hand aside, stared at her intently, and suddenly asked, "Ms. Jun, do you have any insights into jewelry design?"

Jun Shu was clearly caught off guard by the question. She carefully organized her thoughts before answering him seriously: "To be honest, Mr. Qi, I graduated from Beijing University with a major in jewelry design. After graduation, I went abroad to further my studies in economics and management. I have double master's degrees in jewelry design and economics and management."

“My wife is your junior from school,” Qi Jincheng added.

Jun Shu suddenly didn't understand Qi Jincheng's intention. Why did the conversation suddenly turn to Mrs. Qi?

However, she only learned yesterday that Mrs. Qi was studying jewelry design at Beijing University, simply because Mrs. Qi said she and Jiu Ge were classmates, so…
