Chapter 13 Men's size: XXL

Chapter 13

Jiang Mingxu did not return that evening.

Not only that, the other party did not return for the next few days. It is unknown what happened at the company. Later, Jiang Mingxu actually sent his assistant, Wang, to pick up the clothes.

"...The new project is at a critical stage, and President Jiang will be staying at the company for the time being, but that will be fine once this period is over."

Jin Ran didn't hear the last sentence at all.

When she learned that Jiang Mingxu wasn't going home, she was secretly overjoyed. After all, she wished he would stay at the company, so he could focus on his work and make money and not have time to bother her.

Assistant Wang often came to the villa to pick up some daily necessities for Jiang Mingxu. In the past, similar matters were handled by Butler Cheng. This time, however, he happened to run into the newlywed wife.

Thinking that the other party was the boss's wife, she must know Mr. Jiang's habits very well, so she asked, "Please help Mr. Jiang get five suits, five shirts, and other appropriate changes of clothes."

Jin Ran had already started to calculate in her mind: five suits and shirts, at one per day, would mean staying at the company for at least five days.

She readily agreed and asked Assistant Wang to sit down and have some tea while she went to the dressing room on the second floor to help tidy up.

Compared to most men, Jiang Mingxu had a lot of clothes.

Suits were hung in two closets, arranged by shade of color, as were shirts. There were also two drawers of ties, and in the glass cabinet next to them, watches and cufflinks were neatly arranged.

Putting aside everything else, those watches and diamond-encrusted cufflinks alone are already quite valuable.

Clearly, men spend just as much money on clothing and grooming as women.

It's probably only those incompetent, poor men who blame their failures on women, complaining about women's shopping sprees and drinking milk tea, even though women don't spend their money.

When Jin Ran recalled the first time she saw such remarks in her past life, her worldview was shattered. It was as if he didn't need to work if he didn't have a woman. Of course, if a woman spent his money, even a single penny, he would keep a record in his little notebook. When he was short of money for his coffin, he would then affectionately say, "Let's build a little family together."

Jin Ran was glad that although she was "married" after transmigrating into the book, her "married partner" was not bad.

At least Jiang Mingxu's appearance is outstanding enough—broad shoulders, narrow waist, tall and straight figure, coupled with a charming face, he is pleasing to the eye just by standing there. What's even more rare is that he is also generous with material things.

Thinking of the 200,000 yuan in her card, Jin Ran felt fortunate once again.

If she were to end up with someone who was both ugly and stingy, even if he held the title of a wealthy wife, she would absolutely not tolerate it and would slap him before leaving with nothing.

We've strayed from the topic; let's get back to the present.

Jin Ran stood in front of the wardrobe. Considering the serious occasions at the company, she selected three formal suits in black, gray, and blue, and also picked up a beige suit and a tobacco brown suit, so that she could perfectly handle both formal and casual occasions.

Jin Ran crammed in a little bit of everything, including ties, watches, and other accessories, according to her own aesthetic sense. When her suitcase was almost full, she suddenly remembered something important.

Should I bring some underwear for five days?

So he turned around and took out a box of brand new men's underwear from the closet. He glanced at the size and saw that it was XXL.

Jin Ran coughed, casually shifting her gaze from where she was staring, and zipped up her suitcase.

Leaving aside how Assistant Wang would return with his luggage to report back, Jin Ran, having seen the person off at the villa, completely relaxed.

With no one watching over me, life was easy and enjoyable. Every day I either savored the chef's ever-changing dishes or lazily lay on the balcony working on the newly bought exam questions.

Occasionally, you might run into another high school student from the villa.

Jiang Xuli planned to move home from school, but moving also takes time. As a high school student, he needed to attend morning reading, regular classes, and evening self-study every day, and he simply didn't have extra time to move his luggage. So he could only skip evening self-study from time to time to go home and improve his sleep.

In this situation, the two will inevitably meet.

Jin Ran usually enjoys breakfast, while Jiang Xuli, who gets up late, rushes downstairs without even eating, grabbing her schoolbag and rushing out.

The boy didn't stop for a moment when passing by Jin Ran.

Jin Ran showed no intention of greeting anyone and continued to struggle with the delicious food in front of her.

The servants who witnessed this scene looked at each other in bewilderment, and later they all said in private that the young master did not accept his new wife.

Some people simply sighed with regret, while others had other thoughts.

One is his biological son, and the other is his seemingly unloved wife. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence would know who to please.

Jin Ran was unaware of the undercurrents among the servants.

Three wonderful days passed in succession, and on Thursday morning, she received an offer of employment from the personnel department of Wencheng Middle School.

Although she had expected it, Jin Ran still couldn't contain her joy when she actually received the notification.

She opened the email.

Dear Teacher Jin Ran:

Hello! Congratulations on passing our interview! We are now formally inviting you to be our substitute math teacher for Class 3, Grade 11, starting next Monday. Please confirm your acceptance by tomorrow so we can discuss further details.

We look forward to working with you! Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions. (1)

The simple layout and the most common Source Han Sans font still made Jin Ran extremely happy, and she looked at it five times.

As expected of her, she's amazing!

Jin Ran replied to the email immediately.

She indicated that she had accepted the position and then inquired carefully about the required documents.

Most cases are quite common; she only needs to go to the hospital for a physical examination and obtain a health certificate.

It won't work today, because Jin Ran has already eaten breakfast.

Thinking of this, she calmed herself down, completed her daytime plan step by step, and then scheduled a medical check-up for herself for the next day.

To her delight, Xu Zhen, who had her interview on the same day, was also hired, and the two decided to work together after discussing it.

The next morning, Jin Ran arrived at the hospital on an empty stomach.

Xu Zhen lived quite far away and arrived half an hour later than her. Fortunately, the hospital wasn't busy on a weekday. Even so, it took the two of them a whole morning to complete all the medical examination items.

As soon as she came out of the examination room, Xu Zhen clutched her rumbling stomach: "I'm starving! The doctor said the results will be out in at least two hours. Why don't we go eat first? It's close to the food street, and I know a really good mala tang place!"

Jin Ran was also hungry, and when she heard Xu Zhen mention spicy hot pot, her mouth immediately watered.

It's no wonder she reacted this way. The Jiang family's three meals a day are all carefully prepared healthy and nutritious dishes by the chef. Although they are delicious and visually appealing, after a while, it's inevitable that she would miss the heavily oiled and salty "street snacks".

Hearing Xu Zhen's words, he agreed without thinking: "Okay, I'll also buy a milk tea. I'll take a short break after meals so I won't gain weight."

Xu Zhen's eyes lit up: "How about we order a Korean fried chicken dessert? Don't worry, it's Korean fried chicken, so it's zero calories, as it doesn't have the same calories as Chinese fried chicken."

The two exchanged a smile, feeling a sense of regret for not having met sooner, as they had finally found a kindred spirit to share their meal.

When the school bell rang at noon, the students dashed towards the cafeteria like lightning.

Jiang Xuli and Chen Xunliang had money and never liked eating in the school cafeteria. They waited for everyone else to leave before slowly getting up to go to the food street outside the school.

Upon seeing this, Wang Shuya followed and said, "Where are you going to eat? I'll go with you."

Chen Xunliang thought for a moment and suggested, "How about mala tang? I haven't had it in a while and I'm missing it."

Jiang Xuli had no objection, and Wang Shuya, seeing Jiang Xuli nod, was even less likely to raise any objections, since she wasn't simply there for the meal.

The three of them walked out of the school together, but halfway there they saw several students pushing and shoving a boy.

"Ah, isn't that the big oaf from Class 7?"

Chen Xunliang was surprised.

The reason he was called "Big Fool" was because he seemed to have some mental issues, and because he was as big as a mountain, he became well-known as soon as he entered school.

"The other few seem to be from Class 7. Why are they bullying their own classmates?" Wang Shuya frowned, clearly angry.

She was the class's discipline monitor, and she was straightforward and serious, and she couldn't stand this kind of bullying.

But there were many of them, and they were all tall and strong men, so he was a little hesitant to step forward.

As they spoke, the students went even further, actually unzipping the big guy's backpack and letting the books fall out one by one: "Hahaha, look at his stupid face, so what if he has a celebrity sister? I'll teach him to pretend..."

"Oh dear! They've gone too far!"

Wang Shuya stomped her foot in anger, but then saw Jiang Xuli, who hadn't uttered a sound, suddenly step forward and, before anyone could react, punch the person who was mocking her in the face.

!!

A small mala tang (spicy hot pot) shop.

It was a bustling yet ordinary noon, and the owner in the kitchen was extremely busy.

Jin Ran and Xu Zhen arrived early and managed to snag a spot. They were already enjoying their delicious spicy hot pot amidst the enticing aroma.

Suddenly, Jin Ran caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye. Although it was fleeting, she trusted her intuition and couldn't help but ask, "Is this place close to Wen Cheng?"

Xu Zhen thought for a moment: "It is a bit close. Go out and turn left. It's about 500 meters away. Besides Wencheng Middle School, the sports school is also nearby."

Therefore, Jin Ran could now be 100% certain that the person she had just seen was Jiang Xuli.

So here's the question.

What happened to make high school students, who should be in school, look like beggars and be filthy?
