Lu Pei'an quickly came out, "Little sister, are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you? Besides, it's all thanks to my sister-in-law."
“Yes, yes.” Lu Pei’an looked at Jiang Xuan. “Thank you for your help to my little sister during this time.”
"What's a simple thank you worth? If I were you, I'd just give my sister-in-law 200 yuan. She's a top student from Ningzhou University, and her tutoring is so effective. You could easily find a tutor who pays at least four or five yuan an hour, right?"
Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "Little sister, what are you saying?"
“We should pay for the tutoring in the first place,” Lu Xiaomei whispered into Jiang Xuan’s ear. “You should take it. If you don’t, the money will just go to Wang Yingqiu.”
Lu Rongde spoke up: "I think my little sister is right."
Lu Pei'an nodded, "Then let's do as my little sister says. I'll go get the money."
Ningzhou No.1 Middle School is a good school. As long as my younger sister can maintain her grades, she won't have to worry about not getting into university.
What's a little money compared to that?
Wang Yingqiu, who was in the kitchen listening intently to the commotion, was furious.
This young lady, Lu, is quite good at siding with outsiders.
It's one thing to ask for so much pocket money on a regular basis.
Now, for a tutoring session, he's actually helping outsiders ask his own father for money.
Saying he's fifth in the class? He's probably just bragging.
She simply couldn't believe that someone who was last could suddenly become fifth.
She'll ask Tingting properly when she gets back.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xuan refused, saying, "Tutoring my little sister is something I do voluntarily, and I don't need any compensation. We'll be going now."
"Oh, sister-in-law, how can you not want it?"
"Study hard and remember to summarize your mistakes often. Just summarizing isn't enough; you also need to review them frequently."

In the side room.
Wang Yingqiu massaged Lu Pei'an's shoulders and said with a smile, "See, I told you, my little sister is a smart girl. Once she gets the hang of things, her grades will skyrocket. Next year, our family will have two college students."
Lu Pei'an nodded, "Yes, by the way, why hasn't Tingting come back yet?"
“I just asked my younger sister, and she said she’s in the classroom. That kid always spends a lot of time summarizing after each exam.”
"Okay, then you should get some rest. I have to go to the military region tonight."
Lu Pei'an stood up, gently patted her shoulder, and poured her a glass of water.
"You're not feeling well right now, so try not to bend over. I'll put this thermos on the table for you."
"Okay, I know. You go ahead and get busy."
Lu Tingting didn't return until 9 p.m.
She frowned, looking somewhat dejected.
Wang Yingqiu came out and quickly pulled her into the house.
What's wrong with you?
Lu Tingting shook her head and said softly, "It's nothing."
"By the way, my little sister came back and started talking about the monthly exam. She said she got 5th place in the class. Is that true?"
Lu Tingting really didn't want to bring this up, so she bit her lip and remained silent.
"Tell me, is it true?"
Lu Tingting nodded.
"Huh? This brat actually got such a high score. Tingting, you absolutely can't let your guard down now. There are only a few months left, so don't let anyone surpass you."
Lu Tingting was too upset to speak; the other person had already surpassed her this time.
"Mom, I know. I'm a little tired and want to rest."
"Oh? You're planning to go to sleep so early, Tingting? The college entrance exam is so important. As long as you pass, you'll never have to worry about anything again. You have the same amount of time as everyone else during the day. If you just sacrifice a little bit of sleep, no one can surpass you. By the way, you still came in first place this time, right?"
Lu Tingting didn't dare to say anything.
If she told her that she only ranked tenth, her mother would tear her to pieces.
She nodded.
"Okay, then you should study hard. I'm going out now. Oh, by the way, have you had dinner tonight?"
Lu Tingting shook her head.
"Oh dear, why didn't you say you hadn't eaten? Wait here, I'll go heat up some food for you."
The next day at noon, after getting lunch for He Yinhua, Jiang Xuan hurriedly went to the garment factory.
Because Ma Xiaolan had already spoken to Chen He in the design department yesterday.
Chen He personally greeted her with a warm smile: "Welcome, welcome! I've heard so much about you, it's great to finally meet you in person today."
Jiang Xuan smiled and nodded. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, she was led into a conference room.
"Comrade Jiang, we greatly admire your talent and love your designs. We hope we can have the opportunity to collaborate."
"Okay, Director Chen, do you have a specific cooperation plan?"
"You provide the design draft, and we can produce according to the design draft. We will then give you a share of the sales revenue."
Chen He took a document out of the drawer. "I've already drafted the specific plan. You can take a look at it first."
Jiang Xuan opened it and looked at it; the profit split would only give her 20%.
She smiled slightly and stood up: "Of course I also hope for a long-term and stable cooperation. But since your factory doesn't seem to have any sincerity, then let's not waste each other's time."
"Oh, Comrade Jiang, please sit down. Aren't we discussing this?"
“Since Director Chen is in the clothing industry, he must know that design is key to a garment. My design draft includes not only detailed drawings but also instructions on sewing techniques. I wouldn’t consider a draft with even 50% of the quality, let alone 20%.”
50%?
And you're not even considering it?
That's quite a heart!
"Comrade Jiang, that's not very kind of you."
