Another leisurely weekend passed. He Jing made breakfast for everyone and took the bus to Yin Gao High School.

I was stopped as soon as I arrived at the school.

He Jing looked up and saw it was Zhou Xueer.

Zhou Xueer asked, "He Jing, do you still remember what you promised me?"

He Jing: "?"

Zhou Xueer knew she had forgotten, and gritted her teeth, saying, "My dad said he wanted to meet you before, and you agreed. We even added each other on WeChat."

He Jing then remembered and asked, "Has your dad already flown back from abroad?"

Zhou Xueer said, "He flew back a while ago, but he's been busy and didn't let me contact you. Could you meet him after school?"

He Jing nodded and answered decisively, "Okay."

...

In a quiet café, a well-dressed, shrewd-eyed middle-aged man and a beautiful young woman gaze at each other, while a pianist in the corner plays a Croatian Rhapsody.

Zhou Xueer stood outside the coffee shop, unable to resist peeking inside repeatedly.

The two didn't exchange a single word, and their coffees were changed several times.

What are they doing?

Is her father dissatisfied with He Jing?

Then why did you ask her to call He Jing?

Little did he know, Mr. Zhou was extremely satisfied with He Jing. At such a young age, she was so composed, like someone who could cook a perfect meal. He immediately handed her a stack of documents and said, "I asked Xue'er to invite Miss He Jing here because I need her help with something."

He Jing knew, of course; otherwise, she wouldn't be sitting here.

She said calmly, "What kind of help is it, Uncle? Please tell me."

Mr. Zhou said, "I want Miss He Jing to help me win a competition. After it's done, Miss He Jing will receive a generous reward."

He Jing smiled and said, "I'm just a student, Uncle thinks too highly of me."

It's not a question of acceptance, nor is it a question of rejection.

As if he had anticipated this situation, Mr. Zhou handed the documents to her again, saying, "Miss He Jing, you can take a look first. Don't rush to refuse. I'll wait for your reply within three days."

Without waiting for He Jing's reply, he paid the bill and left.

He Jing was left alone in her seat. After sitting for a while, she picked up the document bag, untied the string, and took out the documents inside. On top of her was a check for 200,000 yuan.

This is a huge sum of money for a student.

Afterwards, He Jing casually flipped through the documents a few times, glanced at them briefly, and put them back in the file bag.

Zhou Xueer waited outside the coffee shop. As soon as He Jing came out, she immediately went up to her and asked, "How did it go?"

He Jing glanced at her sideways: "Why haven't you left yet?"

Zhou Xueer looked extremely anxious: "My dad is going to the company, and I'm waiting for the family driver to come."

He Jing then held up the file folder in her hand: "Let me think about it. Don't get your hopes up too high."

Zhou Xueer: "!"

...

He Jing considered it seriously for two days.

To be honest, she had just received a scholarship and was not short of money at all, so there was really no need for her to find something to do.

He Ning said that students should act like students. If he knew that she wasn't studying properly and was secretly making money, he would probably be very disappointed. He Jing decided not to get involved in this mess.

Having made up her mind, He Jing stopped worrying about it. After school, she stepped out of the gates of Yin Gao High School. Before looking for He Ning and He Sui, she took a detour to the vegetable market, intending to cook something delicious for them that evening.

To her utter surprise, she saw He Zhou at the vegetable market.
