Chapter 120 What is this cat saying? (Annoyed)
Once the New Year is over, the teaching pace in most high schools becomes more intense.
Shi Miao wanted to accompany Jiang Yingxu, so she had the system impersonate her parent again and asked Niu Chongtian for a two-week leave after the start of the school year.
She didn't return to No. 1 High School, but she could often see everyone's complaints in the group chat.
I fell asleep while doing practice problems again today. High school seniors can just lie there with their eyes open and take a nap anywhere.
[How can anyone have insomnia?! I suggest that people with insomnia follow the sleep schedule of a senior high school student, and then sit in the classroom during evening self-study. You will find that sleepiness comes very quickly, and you can't control where your pen goes when you write.]
[@CatKingMiao! When are you coming back to school? I can't bear this hardship alone, please come back soon!]
[Cat King: Coming Back in March!]
[Why are you back in March too? Jiang Shen's winter camp seems to last until early March, right? What a coincidence! Anyone who didn't know better would think you went to Beijing with him, hahaha]
[Cat King: (blushing) (cute)]
The cat pressed its paw pads against the screen and sent out two bean-shaped face emojis, its kitten face serious.
Someone come here!
Quickly drag this person who guessed the truth away and lock them up in jail.
If you're so good at guessing, then wait until you've guessed the college entrance exam questions before you reveal your answers.
Although she didn't go to school, under the system's supervision, Shi Miao studied intensively every day. She felt dizzy with all kinds of mathematical and physical formulas, chemical reactions, and biological terms in her head, whether she was open or closed.
The kitten huffed and puffed as it studied hard.
Jiang Yingxu, contrary to his usual behavior, accepted several invitations to go out.
Reid and his wife Yanlan's dinner invitation was a must-attend.
Jiang Yingxu brought Shi Miao to the event. The mischievous cat deliberately approached quietly and admired the sight of this muscular, square-faced man being so frightened by her that he retreated repeatedly, almost stepping onto a table to hide.
Yan Lan and Jiang Yingxu were quite familiar with each other—it was she who introduced Lei De to the head of the Yan Group's Educational Foundation, who helped negotiate for a long time before finally securing the educational contract that only Jiang Yingxu possessed.
She stood in the doorway with her hands on her hips, ignoring her husband's howling, and almost laughed until she cried.
Later, Shi Miao was taken back by Jiang Yingxu, and Yan Lan still looked regretful.
After the meal, another red envelope was stuffed into Jiang Yingxu's hand, and it was said readily, "Your grades are good, and Lao Lei can also get a school bonus, which is not a small amount, so please don't be polite with us and accept this New Year's money."
Good luck on your exam!
I will also attend Peng Shuying's invitation.
Since she was a teacher he wasn't very familiar with and had a rather strict personality, Jiang Yingxu didn't bring Shi Miao with him. In the restaurant's private room, he saw Peng Shuying, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, and another older woman.
Peng Shuying smiled, a rare sight on her face, and introduced, "This is my doctoral advisor. She now teaches in the Physics Department at Tsinghua University. You can call her Professor Xia."
She seemed to be just introducing Jiang Yingxu to people, and the entire meal revolved around Jiang Yingxu's current academic situation.
Professor Xia is a man of few words, and although he is nearly sixty, his eyes are still sharp.
He would only ask a few questions occasionally, and after listening to Jiang Yingxu finish speaking, he would nod without saying anything.
It wasn't until after dinner, when Peng Shuying saw Professor Xia into his car, that she turned to look at Jiang Yingxu.
"Teacher Xia was in poor health and was forced by the state to retire from a classified unit."
Peng Shuying said, "She has made remarkable achievements in the field of chip manufacturing. If you can get a direct PhD qualification, you can try to study under her."
Jiang Yingxu expressed his sincere gratitude.
Peng Shuying smiled slightly, her expression tinged with nostalgia. "I used to be like that too, receiving help from kind people and gradually emerging from poverty in the mountainous area."
"Jiang, keep going. Your talent goes far beyond this."
That evening, Shi Miao heard the system notification sound again.
[Ding!]
[Plot completion increased by 5%, currently at 35%. Please keep up the good work, host.]
cat:【? 】
system:【. 】
After the system finished its check and returned, its tone was mixed: "[It's nothing. Jiang Yingxu simply met the professor in the original story who recognized his talent and wanted to invite him to study at his graduate school.]"
In the original storyline, Jiang Yingxu had already joined the Yan Group and shifted his focus from his studies to the group's affairs, so he declined the professor's invitation.
And now... Jiang Yingxu hasn't even received his guaranteed admission qualification yet, he's still a high school student, let alone taking the postgraduate entrance exam, so how can this not be considered another form of "polite refusal"?
Shi Miao thought for a moment and humbly asked for advice.
[Sir, did the other hosts you brought before also experience this, with their completion rate increasing inexplicably?]
system:【……】
What is this cat saying? (Annoyed)
In the past, every mission required the host to go through great lengths and try every possible method to guide and influence the decisions of key figures in order to achieve the completion rate of the storyline.
It doesn't resemble this cat at all.
Once inside the world, he thrived alongside the main villain, practically becoming a pampered figure, requiring absolutely no effort from him, and his completion rate skyrocketed.
The cat's greatest effort for the sake of the plot was to persuade Jiang Yingxu to attend Yan Zhaozhou's birthday party.
Even if you only say "I want to go," that can be considered a persuasive statement.
The system smugly replied: "You were probably just lucky; you stumbled upon this by sheer chance."
Shi Miao was furious: [Who are you calling a blind cat!]
The next day, the story completion progress indicator started acting up, increasing by 1% every now and then.
Even Shi Miao hesitated. "[System, are you sure you're okay?]"
System: 【…Let me check again!】
This world and this mission are truly divine intervention!
After muttering to himself for a long time, Yi Mao finally discovered the reason—
Jiang Yingxu is now quite famous in the training camp. He accidentally bumped into Yan Zhaozhou, which made the young master very angry.
This aligns with the plot where Jiang Yingxu joins the Yan Group, performs exceptionally well, and causes Yan Zhaozhou to suffer setbacks.
This time, it was Yan Zhaozhou who was angry.
Last time, Jiang Yingxu spoke a few words to Zou Yuanyuan, and Yan Zhaozhou was secretly jealous.
The time before last, Jiang Yingxu ran into Yan Shuli, who was delivering afternoon tea to Yan Zhaozhou, at the classroom door. The three of them exchanged a few casual words.
The completion rate of the plot is like a problem that Jiang Yingxu has solved, easy and unstoppable, with progress jumping up by one percent every now and then.
The cat just lay sprawled on the dormitory bed, doing nothing, happily catching the unexpected plot twist.
When Jiang Yingxu returned, he probably thought the kitten had been playing leisurely for most of the day and would even discuss the plot of Tom and Jerry with her.
Regardless of what plot points Tom and Jerry have to discuss.
Anyway, whenever the plot was mentioned, Shi Miao would think of the rapidly increasing plot completion rate and chatter smugly to the system.
Cats are simply the most comfortable task-takers!
I'm incredibly lucky.
Completion progress increases automatically!
Completely unaware, Jiang Yingxu, with his back to her, had a slight upturn of his lips when he lowered his eyes.
