Jiang Jingxue happened to walk over and saw it.
She pointed to the prices on the freezer: "The ice cream you're eating costs five cents a stick. You can settle the bill at the cashier later."
"What?"
Jiang Zhizhi and her daughter were immediately shocked.
"You're charging for this lousy ice cream? Isn't it supposed to be a free employee perk?"
“Who told you it was free? The prices are clearly marked, and there's no deception. If you don't pay, the accounts won't match when I take inventory. If the accounts are significantly different, you'll have to make up the difference.”
Jiang Zhizhi had no choice but to reluctantly pay a dime at the cashier.
Jiang Jingxue walked over and asked with a concerned expression.
"Mom, Zhizhi, was it hard handing out flyers outside today?"
Hearing Jiang Jingxue's suddenly gentle tone, Yao Guilan and Jiang Zhizhi felt that things were not so simple.
If it's not hard work... will she make them go out and hand out flyers again tomorrow?
The mother and daughter exchanged a glance and immediately said, "Yes, it's so hot and sunny outside. The sun is so strong, we're practically turning into dried meat."
"Mom, Zhizhi, starting tomorrow, you don't need to go out and hand out flyers anymore."
"real?"
The mother and daughter were pleasantly surprised, thinking they could finally find some peace and quiet in a corner.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Jingxue then said, "I just got two cabinets that need painting. Can you paint them for me tomorrow?"
Yao Guilan and Jiang Zhizhi were stunned.
Paint the cabinets? The paint smells pungent and unpleasant, and they might even have an allergic reaction.
"Well, I... let's go hand out flyers instead."
They preferred handing out flyers to painting cabinets.
"The flyers have all been distributed; there's no need to distribute any more."
"There are so many people in the supermarket, let others apply it, we're not doing it!"
"Mom, Zhizhi, a lot of people are eyeing the cleaning job, they all want to work for me. If you don't want to do it, there are plenty of others who will. How about I hire someone tomorrow?"
Jiang Jingxue's words implied that they would lose their jobs if they dared to refuse!
After a moment of internal struggle, Yao Guilan and Jiang Zhizhi finally nodded helplessly.
"Okay, let's do it!"
night.
Jiang Jingxue and Yue Keqi went to night school together.
Just as they were about to enter the classroom, Bai Xiuxiu and Chen Yuyan emerged from the corner, their clothes disheveled.
Bai Xiuxiu's face was flushed; the two of them seemed to have done something unspeakable.
Upon seeing Jiang Jingxue, Bai Xiuxiu immediately became hostile, like a fighting rooster.
Thinking back to yesterday, Chen Yuyan said he would definitely make Jiang Jingxue apologize to her in person.
Bai Xiuxiu immediately became arrogant.
"Jiang Jingxue, if you obediently apologize to me and say you were wrong, I'll let bygones be bygones for what you did to humiliate me in public yesterday, just because we were classmates."
What if I don't?
Seeing that Jiang Jingxue had no intention of apologizing at all, Bai Xiuxiu became somewhat exasperated: "If you don't apologize, I'll make sure you can't stay in this school anymore!"
"You think I'll just quit because you tell me I can't stay? Do you think the school is your private property?" Jiang Jingxue didn't take Bai Xiuxiu seriously at all.
The colder her tone, the more frantic Bai Xiuxiu became.
"Jiang Jingxue! Don't be stubborn and refuse to listen to reason!"
"Don't think I won't do anything to you just because you have good grades!"
"I'm warning you, if you know what's good for you, apologize to me right now, or you'll regret it one day!"
"Fine, I'll wait and see how you make me regret this!"
"Oh, by the way, there's been a nationwide crackdown on hooliganism lately, so you'd better take care of yourself and not go in first."
After Jiang Jingxue finished speaking, she went into the classroom.
Yue Keqi laughed heartily beside her.
Bai Xiuxiu was furious at Jiang Jingxue's indifference and Yue Keqi's mockery: "These two bitches really don't respect me at all!"
In front of Jiang Jingxue, Chen Yuyan didn't dare to utter a single word.
As soon as Jiang Jingxue left, he quickly began to comfort Bai Xiuxiu.
"Xiuxiu, don't take it to heart."
Bai Xiuxiu glared angrily at Chen Yuyan: "Chen Yuyan, didn't you pat your chest and promise me that you would make Jiang Jingxue apologize to me? Were your words just empty talk?"
"Xiuxiu, no matter what, Jiang Jingxue is a military family member. It's against discipline to make a military family member apologize."
Chen Yuyan offered himself a plausible excuse.
"Although I can't make Jiang Jingxue apologize to you, I can give you her spot in the medical competition!"
"Really? You're not lying to me again this time, are you?"
"Of course it's true!"
"Honey, don't be angry anymore. When I get paid, I'll buy you your favorite necklace, okay?"
Under Chen Yuyan's sweet talk, Jiang Zhizhi was once again coaxed into being happy.
"Alright, since you're being so sincere, I won't be angry anymore."
“Jiang Jingxue, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with her in the future.”
Chen Yuyan and Bai Xiuxiu hugged each other again, and he took the opportunity to make his own request.
"However, Xiuxiu, the crackdown on hooliganism has been quite strict lately."
“It’s not a good idea for us to keep sneaking around like this. If someone reports us, I’m afraid it will have a bad impact on you.”
"I think we should meet the parents as soon as possible; it would be safer that way, wouldn't it?"
Bai Xiuxiu thought about it and felt that Chen Yuyan's words made sense: "You're right, I'll go back and bring up the matter of meeting the parents with my parents."
"However, we'll have to win an award in the medical competition before we can actually meet."
"When that happens, I'll say that I won the award because of you, and my parents will be overjoyed! They'll definitely accept you as their son-in-law!"
Chen Yuyan was afraid that bringing it up would expose his purpose, so he could only nod.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
After class.
Jiang Jingxue went to the principal's office and handed him the completed medical competition registration form.
"Principal, I've filled it out."
The principal took it and placed it on the table.
"Jiang Jingxue, I have high hopes for you, and I believe you will definitely bring honor to our school!"
"Thank you, Principal."
"Oh right, the next class is pharmacology, right? Let's go, I'll go with you. I'll listen at the back of the classroom, you just focus on your lecture and don't worry about me."
After handing in her form, Jiang Jingxue returned to the classroom.
It's my first time being a substitute teacher, and I'm always a little nervous.
She knew that the principal came to observe her class in person to support her, fearing that others might disagree with her and cause trouble.
Jiang Jingxue and the principal had just left.
Chen Yuyan slipped into the principal's office right after.
He immediately spotted the competition schedule on the desk.
He secretly changed all the information above to Bai Xiuxiu's.
Anyway, the principal is getting old and busy all day long. His eyesight is failing, so he might not be able to see things very clearly.
In any case, let Bai Xiuxiu secure her qualification for this competition first; he'll think of another way to deal with the awards later.
