Shi Zirui sat quite dignified. What she saw in front of her was first a thick physics homework book, and then Chen Tinghan behind her. Faced with doubts, she just smiled, took one of the books, and put on her glasses.
Her movements were naturally gentle, and wearing glasses only made her delicate face look even more intelligent. She read the homework and then slowly responded, "Why do you think so badly of my master? She is sincere and has no ill intentions."
"Pure sincerity? Who? Wang Jinling?" Chen Tinghan rubbed his forehead, unable to bear the sight, and said, "You two, master and servant, have eight hundred tricks in your mouth, yet you still have the nerve to keep saying the word 'pure sincerity'."
Fortunately, there was no one in the office now. If other teachers heard their conversation, they might think they had some strange relationship.
Shi Zirui said, "It would be great if you were willing to believe it."
"I believe you're not here to spy on me," Chen Tinghan added. "At least not just to spy on me. After all, as a homeroom teacher, the only way you could cause me trouble is if you don't approve my request for leave. Tell me, what's your purpose?"
"You are very observant." Shi Zirui was unwilling to say more. She knew very well that the young man sitting in front of her was a monster like her master. If she spoke more than half a word to such a person, she might be caught in a flaw and be exposed.
The best way to deal with it is to play dumb and confused.
Chen Tinghan looked at her coldly and suddenly said, "Actually, even if you don't say it, this matter is not that difficult to guess."
"You're now sitting in the seat formerly occupied by Liu Huawei, replacing him. This makes your identity quite intriguing. Wang Jinling doesn't yet possess the ability to interfere with the Wang family's decision-making, nor the strength to directly confront Wang Kai. The fact that you were assigned here suggests you have connections to the Wang family," Chen Tinghan explained.
"So either you're a spy planted by Wang Jinling in Wang Kai's employ, or you were originally one of Wang Kai's people, but she later turned you against him. Considering your previous role as a police insider, the latter is more likely."
Shi Zirui picked up another homework book and said leisurely, "Is there anything I can possibly hide from you?"
Chen Tinghan remained unmoved. The enemy's flattery was often a weapon that paralyzed the mind. He continued, "Wang Kai is a man with a strong desire for control, but not to the point where he would send people to monitor his harmless daughter so seamlessly that they couldn't even breathe.
I was a little confused at first, but I just figured it out. This is probably to cover up Liu Huawei's mess."
"No matter how cunning Liu Huawei and Zhang Keqi were, they couldn't have gotten such a large sum of money without help from within the school. Furthermore, no one had noticed. This means there must be someone within the school who is on the same page as Liu Huawei."
Shi Zirui finally closed her homework, her calm face concealing genuine admiration. She spread her hands and said, as if accepting the order, "Wang Kai's order to me was to silence the man, regardless of the means. And the eldest lady's order was for me to gather all the evidence and get him to give a specific confession."
Chen Tinghan raised his eyebrows and asked, "False confession?"
"I prefer to call it a partial truth." Shi Zirui smiled and said, "We don't need to tell blatant lies. We only need partial truths that are disadvantageous to those who oppose us."
Chen Tinghan looked at her and understood Shi Zirui and Wang Jinling's thoughts a little more. Surprisingly, perhaps because they were dealing with another group of termites living in the holy ivory tower, he did not feel any ill will, but actually felt a rare and inappropriate pity for Wang Jinling.
Is it really worth it to scheme so hard?
As if to temper this undue pity, Chen Tinghan deliberately adopted a slightly pointed tone and said, "So, whose restaurant are you looking for? If you really want to become rich and powerful, following Wang Kai is a sure thing. Do you think his money is dirty?"
In this quiet office, she smiled sincerely, thinking that there were always some contradictions in the temperament and thoughts of this young master. Judging from his behavior habits, he seemed to come from a poor family, but he did not value money that much.
There was a faint aura of idealism about him. She had always hated idealism, but at this moment, it was rare that she did not feel any ill will towards him.
Shi Zirui took two bills from her wallet and said, "To paraphrase a line from a classic TV show, I have two bills here. Which one do you think is noble and which one is dirty?"
"Then I don't understand." Chen Tinghan said, "You really don't look like someone who would have a problem with money."
"Because this is a risky investment," Shi Zirui said. "If everything can be sold, then nothing has any value. Just like a prostitute, her most valuable possession is always her virginity. Everything, in all things, becomes cheaper the more you have of it."
"No matter how high-class a prostitute is, and how she can pull off the pants of all the men in the city and make a fortune, it's meaningless. Her soul is worthless."
Shi Zirui paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and then said, "And my eldest daughter is the one who understands the value of the soul the most. If I win the bet, I will be the most powerful person in the Neptune family. I won't be buried in the police station, working as a small logistics clerk, insignificant and lost in the crowd."
Chen Tinghan suddenly felt a little creepy. He could clearly see that the woman's eyes were filled with a terrifying light, a naked fire of desire that was not concealed.
He couldn't understand what such an intellectual and rational person had experienced that made him so insatiable.
"Then Wang Jinling is indeed a good choice." Chen Tinghan said with emotion.
No matter how much he dislikes Wang Jinling or disagrees with her ideas, he has to admit that she does have incomparable personal charm, and something as precious as "respect" is something that people like Wang Kai cannot give.
"However," Shi Zirui changed the subject and said, "Now I have a new target I want to invest in."
"who?"
"You." Shi Zirui said seriously, "You and she have the same value. If you two fight, I'll bet on both sides. Whether you sleep with her or she sleeps with you, I'll win."
Chen Tinghan's mouth twitched. Not knowing what to say, he abruptly changed the subject and said, "So, do you really have a teaching certificate?"
"Really," Shi Zirui said with a curled lip, "And I've prepared the lessons carefully. From now on, until the young lady graduates, I will probably be your homeroom teacher. Master, I look forward to your guidance."
"Oh." Chen Tinghan couldn't help but sigh, lamenting his campus life, which was so abstract and humorous.
The secretary of his mortal enemy became the beautiful head teacher of his class. The more he thought about it, the more outrageous it seemed, and the bleak his future seemed.
In any case, her purpose is probably far from that simple. Chen Tinghan needs to make some preparations as soon as possible and contact some important people earlier.
