"This, this isn't good..."
The one who questioned Xie Qian was not Wen Ying, but Peng Guoqing who was holding the plate.
Xie Qian and Wen Ying both looked up at him, and Peng Guoqing quickly put the plate in his hand on the table.
The senior high school students have already taken this year's college entrance examination and left school, while other grades are attending classes as usual and waiting for the final exams. Peng Guoqing, a poor student, did not even take the college entrance examination and was directly held back.
This guy originally wanted to be in the same class with Xie Qian, but after being coldly rejected by Teacher Liang, Peng Guoqing decisively clung to Teacher Liang's thighs.
Teacher Liang also teaches the second year of high school and is the head teacher of a parallel class. Teacher Liang originally did not want to accept Peng Guoqing.
Teacher Liang has been teaching at a provincial key school for many years and has never met a student with such a poor foundation as Peng Guoqing. Accepting Peng Guoqing may drag down the undergraduate admission rate of Teacher Liang's class!
Unfortunately, Mrs. Peng is very good at dealing with people. The last time she came to Chengdu, she left the phone numbers of several tutors and kept in touch with them on a daily basis. From time to time, she would give some "local specialties" that were not expensive but showed her thoughtfulness. Teacher Liang was really embarrassed to refuse Mrs. Peng's request.
With the joint efforts of the mother and son, Peng Guoqing successfully repeated the grade and became a student in Teacher Liang's class.
It is obviously inappropriate for a head teacher to charge students for private tutoring. Outsiders will question whether the teacher is deliberately holding back in class in order to earn more tuition fees.
So Teacher Liang made it clear to the mother and son of the Peng family in advance that if Peng Guoqing wanted to repeat the grade and go to Teacher Liang's class, he would have to change to a new math tutor.
Peng Guoqing agreed immediately.
What a great opportunity!
Wang Shuang has already taken the college entrance examination. Unless he fails, there will definitely be an extra vacancy in Xie Qian's "cram school".
This is God helping Peng Guoqing.
We must take advantage of the fact that before Xie Qian picks up other poor students, we must occupy the vacancy left by Wang Shuang after graduation!
After all, Teacher Liang no longer tutors Peng Guoqing in mathematics, so where can he find a suitable mathematics teacher?
The only one who can match Teacher Liang’s level is Xie Qian!
Peng Guoqing arranged everything for himself and tried every possible way to make his presence felt in front of Xie Qian.
Upon accidentally hearing about Xie Qian's "filial piety", Peng Guoqing had an idea:
He cannot just agree with Xie Qian blindly. When it is time to express his own opinions, he must speak out loudly. This will attract Xie Qian's attention and make Xie Qian feel that he can still save the situation - well, that's it. It is definitely not because he listened to Xie Qian's words and found that Xie Qian seemed to value Wen Ying's interests more than the interests of his biological mother Zou Weijun that he temporarily changed his strategy to take a roundabout way to save the country and decided to change from pleasing Xie Qian to pleasing Wen Ying!
"What's wrong?"
Xie Qian asked Peng Guoqing.
Peng Guoqing puffed out his chest, his face as if ready to die. "Xie Qian, what you did is wrong. Wen Ying is your good friend, it's true, but Aunt Zou is your biological mother. How could you instigate Wen Ying to threaten Aunt Zou? You're prioritizing your friend over your mother. Uh, that's what I mean, you know!"
Peng Guoqing emphasized the pronunciation of the two words "good friend" and "value friends over mother".
On the surface, Peng Guoqing was condemning Xie Qian, but in fact he was assisting him.
"Good friend" can be replaced by "girlfriend", and "valuing friends over mother" can be interpreted as "forgetting one's mother after getting a wife". Which girl would be happy to hear that her boyfriend values her like this, right?
Peng Guoqing's little trick was indeed noticed by Xie Qian and Wen Ying at the same time.
Xie Qian frowned, thinking that Peng Guoqing talked a little too much.
Xie Qian actually didn’t mean this. After Peng Guoqing’s clever interpretation, would the hamster think in a wrong way?
Xie Qian went to see Wen Ying, and Wen Ying happened to look up. Their eyes met, and many details of their time together flashed through Wen Ying's mind, such as holding hands at the Hunan Airport and the pink paper stars under the wisteria flowers. These details that were left unsaid were something Wen Ying could not face calmly in both her lives.
Even if Xie Qian really has feelings for her, would he "value friendship over mother" as Peng Guoqing said?
Won't.
Some confused boys would do this kind of thing to express their "importance" to girls, but Xie Qian would not do such a thing - with Xie Qian's IQ, it is impossible for him to do such a stupid thing and deliberately create conflicts between the girl he likes and his mother!
The girl Xie Qian likes... Just extracting these keywords was enough to make Wen Ying's cheeks blush slightly. She suppressed her strange emotions and regained her rationality, rejecting Peng Guoqing's words:
"Xie Qian didn't prioritize friendship over mother, nor did he instigate me to threaten Aunt Zou with job-hopping. Rongcheng Literature and Art Publishing House and Aunt Zou are not synonymous. Aunt Zou simply works there, not the publishing house's boss. When I asked Aunt Zou for higher royalties, I was essentially negotiating with the publishing house!"
Zou Weijun is the bridge between Wen Ying and the publishing house. It is because of Zou Weijun that Wen Ying signed the contract with Rongcheng Literature and Art Publishing House.
Without Zou Weijun, for Wen Ying, Rongcheng Literature and Art Publishing House was no different from other publishing houses.
Zou Weijun should be responsible for his work and cannot give Wen Ying too high royalties at once. Wen Ying can also be responsible for her work and insist on negotiating royalties that match the quality of her work and her personal popularity.
This is what Xie Qian meant by “talk business as business”!
After Wen Ying finished speaking, Xie Qian's expression softened.
There is nothing better than this moment.
What he says and his thoughts do not need to be overly interpreted by outsiders, the hamster understands them himself!
So why is Peng Guoqing here with a tray?
Xie Qian was too lazy to bother with the smart-aleck student.
Well--
Feeling Xie Qian's disgust, Peng Guoqing found that he seemed to have become redundant.
