Chapter 5353 [1st update]

The words of the girl in dormitory 609 stunned everyone who heard the voice and came out to watch the excitement. Is there such a thing?

They did not doubt that the person who did this was Jiang Wu. If it was Jiang Wu herself, she would not be so surprised to find the books.

So it was someone else?

Their eyes could not help but fall on the girl in dormitory 610, wanting to see who is so smart to come up with such a way to make money.

The method is good, but the books are not yours? Isn’t it a bit bad to use other people’s books to make your own money?

More than 30 books is not a small number. Moreover, the books Jiang Wu brought back every time were new books that had not even been unpacked.

Several people in the dormitory couldn't help but look at He Xiaofang. He Xiaofang was stunned and asked in surprise: "Why are you all looking at me? You don't think I did it, do you?" She hurried to look at Jiang Xi, "Xi Xi, I didn't, it wasn't me!"

Xu Xiuli couldn't bear to watch it, and pulled her over, "No one said it was you!"

Jiang Xi also pulled her hand soothingly, "I know it wasn't you."

Jiang Xi and Xu Xiuli's trust made He Xiaofang relieved, but her eyes were sore.

Xu Xiuli still suspected He Xiaofang, looking at Lu Xuehua on the bed, "Who else could it be if not her?" He

Xiaofang seemed to be the poorest and most in need of money in the dormitory, so everyone naturally suspected the one who was in need of money first.

Jiang Xi said, "I believe it wasn't Xiaofang who did it. We are together every day, she doesn't have the time to do this."

Xu Xiuli added, "She doesn't have the brains to do this!"

Although she was clearly saying that He Xiaofang was stupid, He Xiaofang nodded vigorously with red eyes behind the two of them.

If she had the brains to make money, she wouldn't have been stuck in math.

Lu Xuehua and the others were actually somewhat convinced by Xu Xiuli's reason, and looked at each other. Seeing that everyone was looking at her again, she quickly took a step back: "Why are you all looking at me? You won't doubt me, will you? Would I be short of those dimes? You think too badly of me! It's not me!"

Dormitory head Wang Xia also waved her hand and said, "It's not me either."

She looked at Liu Ping.

Liu Ping's eyes widened: "Don't look at me, it's not me!"

Jiang Xi looked at them, smiled, and said: "In fact, it's very simple to find out who it is, can't we just go down and ask?"

Liu Ping bit her lip, but Lu Xuehua frowned and said: "Even if we find out, how can we prove that those books are Jiang Xi's? Jiang Xi never reads the books she buys, they are brand new, and her name is not written on them. What if we catch this person and she denies that she bought them herself?"

Because they were not their own books, they were also very careful when reading Jiang Xi's books, and no one wrote or drew on the books, leaving any marks.

This is indeed a problem.

Jiang Xi, on the other hand, didn't care at all. She said confidently, "Actually, there is something I have never told you. Aren't you curious about why I, who don't read magazines very often, buy the latest magazines every week?"

Everyone looked over curiously after hearing her say this.

Jiang Xi said, "Actually, these magazines were sent to me by my relatives who work in a magazine company. They are all sample issues, not regular issues."

These girls who had never even bought a few magazines had no idea what a sample issue and a regular issue were. But just from the difference between the two words, they knew that Jiang Xi's magazines were probably a little different from the magazines bought outside.

Sure enough, Jiang Xi said, "The sample issue is printed earlier than the main issue. The magazine publisher prints it out in advance for trial and error, and gives it to the review team for review. In other words, the sample issue and the main issue are published at different times."

These girls had no idea that there were so many things in the magazine. They nodded curiously and asked her, "Anything else?"

Jiang Xi swept her eyes around the crowd, and she knew who it was. She didn't even dare to look her in the eye. When she looked over, she immediately avoided her gaze.

"As I said just now, sample issues are printed out to see how they turn out, and then they are revised repeatedly. The main issues are directly given to the judges for acceptance and will not be revised. So there will be some differences in content between the sample issues and the main issues." Jiang Wu's eyes fell on a person's face, and then he smiled at everyone: "I said, all my magazines are sample issues. To tell whether it is my book or not, you just need to go out and buy two main issues and compare them. If someone says that they bought their book outside, it wouldn't be that the book they bought is not the main issue but the sample issue, right?"

"By the way, sample issues are not available on the market, only insiders have them."

What Jiang Wu said was actually not right, but it was enough to fool these girls. Besides, she was not completely fooling them. Only the last sentence, that the sample issue would be sent to the author himself, not that only insiders had it, was a lie.

Also, not all of her books were samples. The seven or eight books she bought at the beginning were genuine books.

After Lu Xuehua understood, she knew that Jiang Xi had full evidence to prove that the books were hers, so she rolled up her sleeves and said, "What are we waiting for? Let's go down and find out who it is?"

She was a bit impetuous, but she couldn't stand others wrongly accusing her, so she still suspected He Xiaofang.

The dormitory head Wang Xia also said, "Yes, let's go down and find out. Take back all the books. It's too much to rent out other people's books to others and make money for yourself!"

The other girls were also curious about who did this immoral thing, and they all wanted to go down and take a look.

Jiang Xi did not do so. Instead, he asked the crowd to disperse, then closed the door and said to someone in the dormitory: "You'd better come out and apologize to me in private. It's fine. Take my books back and I'll forgive you. No matter how much money you made, think of it as me treating everyone to midnight snacks."

No one expected Jiang Xi to choose to do this.

Lu Xuehua, who was a little impatient, disagreed and said, "Come out and apologize to us!" She said unsatisfiedly, "It's better to inform the whole school, otherwise people will think I'm a thief!" She

stared at He Xiaofang. He Xiaofang's scalp was numb when she looked at him, but she still tried to stare back. Because she was suspected, her eyes were filled with tears and she pulled Jiang Xi's sleeve tightly.

Only Jiang Xi and Xu Xiuli's trust and protection made her less afraid of being suspected by everyone.

Liu Ping, who had originally wanted to find Jiang Xi to admit it privately after hearing Jiang Xi's words, could no longer hold back when she saw Lu Xuehua said that she would inform the whole school. She lowered her head and raised her hand: "...It's me."

Lu Xuehua, who was sitting next to her and holding her arm, looked at Liu Ping as if she had been stabbed, and pushed her away from her.

She never thought that the person who did this was Liu Ping, her best friend.

There are eight people in dormitory 610. After Jiang Xi, Xu Xiuli and He Xiaofang formed a small group that went in and out together every day, the dormitory head Wang Xia and the other two were the kind of people who could get along with anyone and had relatively gentle personalities. Lu Xuehua's personality was completely opposite to her name. She was not quiet at all. Instead, she was a bit tough and impatient. She could talk to any of them, but she couldn't get along with people as quiet and gentle as them. So she got together with Liu Ping, who had a personality and temperament somewhat similar to her. They went to school and ate together on weekdays. Liu Ping was also willing to accommodate her impatience. The two of them slept on the upper and lower bunks, so naturally she had the best relationship with Liu Ping.

She had just suspected everyone in the dormitory, even Xu Xiuli, and finally focused all her attention on He Xiaofang, but she never suspected Liu Ping.

As a result, the person who did this was Liu Ping, who had the best relationship with her, and this made her very angry.

Liu Ping didn't cry at first, but after being pushed so hard by Lu Xuehua, she started crying.

She was with Lu Xuehua before, sitting on Lu Xuehua's bed. When she was pushed down by her, she fell on Lu Xuehua's bed. It didn't hurt, but for some reason, when Lu Xuehua pushed her away, she burst into tears and cried, "I just read so many magazines. Everyone finishes reading them and puts them there. They're free anyway..."

"That's Jiang Xi's magazine, not your magazine. You use other people's books to make your money. You're really calculating!" Lu Xuehua was furious. Seeing that Liu Ping was still lying on her bed, she hit her thigh hard: "Get out!"

Liu Ping sat up and hugged Lu Xuehua's arm, crying, "Don't be so angry, Jiang Xi said he forgave me."

She quickly took out all the money she had earned and put it on Lu Xuehua's bed.

Lu Xuehua said angrily, "Why did you put the money on my bed? Give it to Jiang Xiao!"

Liu Ping then took the money she earned from renting books and gave it to Jiang Xiao reluctantly.

In just these two weeks, she had earned quite a lot, quite a few dollars.

She lowered her head, looking embarrassed, with tears still on her face. She smiled at Jiang Xi in a flattering way, then sat back on Lu Xuehua's bed, which made Lu Xuehua angry and pushed her again: "Don't sit on my bed."

Liu Ping stood beside Lu Xuehua's bed with a good temper and pleaded: "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have used Jiang Xi's books to make money. Jiang Xi, I will return all the money to you. Please don't tell the teacher, okay?" She pulled the sleeve of Lu Xuehua, who was still angry, and shook it: "Xuehua, I really know I was wrong."

Lu Xuehua angrily pulled back her sleeves and turned around to ignore her.

Liu Ping sat on Lu Xuehua's bed and tried to coax her.

Jiang Xi looked at the two of them with admiration, and found that Liu Ping was indeed a talented person. With her ability to take advantage of others, thick skin, and quick mind, she would definitely be a capable person if she was placed in the right position. However, such a person, because of her quick mind, should also be guarded against as she might betray you at any time for the sake of profit.

Jiang Xi suddenly realized that she was no longer a member of the system, and Liu Ping was no longer her subordinate.

After working for so many years, her professional habits made her not take revenge and intensify conflicts when handling things, but leave a way out for stability.

For example, just now when so many people gathered at the door of their 610 dormitory and were about to make a big fuss, Jiang Xi would stop in time after putting enough pressure on Liu Ping. There was no need to push too much on the classmates and roommates who would still live in the same dormitory for the next three years.

Although Liu Ping made the mistake first.

Jiang Xi looked at Liu Ping who was trying to coax Lu Xuehua, and then looked at the people in the dormitory and said, "I just said that the money Liu Ping earned from renting books will be used as a midnight snack for everyone. I will take all the money to the canteen to buy braised pork at night. I will treat everyone to braised pork!"

The people in the dormitory were originally in a bad mood because of the incident involving Liu Ping. When they heard Jiang Xi say that this money would be used to treat them to braised pork, they immediately became happy and looked at Jiang Xi with bright eyes.

They were not as rich as Jiang Xi in terms of food coupons, and could buy braised pork every day.

They could only buy one portion a week at most to satisfy their cravings.

Jiang Xi said, "Actually, what Liu Ping said is right. We've finished reading these magazines, and they're just sitting there anyway. We can really make some money by selling them." Her expression became serious again, and she looked at Liu Ping with a cold gaze: "They are my things. Shouldn't you have said hello to me before using them? Taking something without asking is called stealing. I don't think you understand this principle, do you?"

Jiang Xi was so tolerant just now, but now his face suddenly frowned, making Liu Ping feel extremely pressured. She didn't even dare to pull Lu Xuehua with her hands. She lowered her head and apologized, saying, "I'm sorry."

The label of thief is indeed too heavy for an adolescent girl, so heavy that Liu Ping felt scared under Jiang Xi's cold and stern gaze, and this time her tears fell out of real fear.

She didn't know what she would do if the whole school knew that she was a thief. She finally realized what she would face if Jiang Xi reported this to the teacher or even the Political Education Department. The more she thought about it

, the more scared she became. She was so scared that her legs went weak and she wanted to kneel down to Jiang Xi: "I'm sorry, Jiang Xi, I'm sorry, I didn't think so much, I'm sorry, I will return all the money to you, I will never do this again, please don't tell the teacher, okay?" She thought about it and suddenly thought of a good idea: "I... I will help you make money, I will help you rent books, and I will give you all the money, okay?"

Jiang Xi looked at her pitiful appearance at this time and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She looked at Liu Ping for a long time, and when Liu Ping became more and more worried, she nodded and said, "Okay." Before Liu Ping could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard Jiang Xi say to everyone in the dormitory, "Since renting books can make money, and my magazine has every issue, it would be a waste to leave it alone. The money earned from renting books can be used as the extra meal expenses for our dormitory. How much money can be earned every week, dormitory head, you can calculate it, and every Wednesday night, use this money to treat everyone in our dormitory to a meal of braised pork."

This is to throw away the financial problem of renting books, and the dormitory head is also very happy to receive this task of calculating the accounts.

Everyone in the dormitory is happy, including He Xiaofang and Xu Xiuli. Who doesn't like to eat meat these days?

Only Lu Xuehua is still a little unhappy.

"But Liu Ping did such a thing, we can't not punish her." Jiang Xi said calmly, which made Liu Ping's heart tremble. She looked at Jiang Xi with some pleading, not knowing how Jiang Xi would punish her.

Jiang Xi looked at the other people in the dormitory: "How do you say you want to punish her?"

The rhythm in the dormitory was unconsciously controlled by Jiang Xi, and everyone couldn't help but follow her ideas.

The dormitory head hesitated and suggested: "How about punishing her to clean the dormitory?"

"Punish her to wash your clothes?"

"Brush your shoes!"

Jiang Xi asked Lu Xuehua and Xu Xiuli again: "What are your suggestions?"

"I'm fine with it. You can punish her however you want, but don't let her off easily." Lu Xuehua was still angry and glared at Liu Ping fiercely.

Xu Xiuli suggested: "Then punish her to clean the dormitory for a month."

Everyone thought this was a good suggestion.

Jiang Xi asked Liu Ping: "Do you accept this punishment?"

Liu Ping was really frustrated by Jiang Xi's constant nagging, so how could she object? She nodded repeatedly: "I am willing, I am willing, I will clean the dormitory for two months!"

Now everyone in the dormitory was happy again.

Even Liu Ping, who was punished to clean for two months, was afraid and grateful to Jiang Xi.

Jiang Xi then said to Lu Xuehua: "Are you willing to work with Liu Ping on renting the books? You don't need to do anything else, just supervise her."

She said directly, Liu Ping shrank her neck and pulled Lu Xuehua's sleeve: "Xuehua..."

Lu Xuehua then said to Liu Ping with a serious face: "The books belong to Jiang Xi. Since Jiang Xi has forgiven you for not caring about this matter, what else can I do? Easy to say? But Jiang Xi said that the money earned from renting books would be used as extra meal expenses for our dormitory, and that was the business of the entire dormitory. He also made me the supervisor. You know my character. If you dare to do something wrong under my nose..."

Liu Ping quickly raised her hand and swore: "I dare not, I really dare not."

God knows, she was really scared by Lu Xuehua and Jiang Xi.

Lu Xuehua said that she would inform the whole school. Jiang Xi looked gentle, but the sharpness was like a blunt knife cutting people, which made her even more afraid.

She herself didn't know how the matter was resolved so peacefully in the end. Jiang Xi actually let her continue to rent books. Although the money earned did not belong to her, she also loved to eat braised pork.

Thinking of the taste of braised pork, she couldn't help but slurp her saliva.

She no longer had to worry about being discovered by the people in the dormitory that she was secretly renting books, but could do it openly. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but cheer up.

The girls in other dormitories were all listening to the movements in Dormitory 610, thinking that they would fight because of a thief in the dormitory. Who knew that after listening for a long time, Dormitory 610 was as quiet as if nothing had happened.

When the door of Dormitory 610 was opened, they all pretended to walk out of the dormitory casually, and from time to time they looked at the faces of the people in Dormitory 610. Wow! Why are they all so happy?
