Chapter 30: What constraints are being broken?
Shen Jiawan started calling her deskmate Yu Xin.
The seating arrangement for the last class was already quite messy. Yu Xin really liked her new deskmate, so when they changed seats, she traded an egg pancake she had brought from home with Shen Jiayuan's new classmate and continued to sit next to Shen Jiayuan.
Anyway, the teacher won't care. For example, the seats of Li Tianci and his friends in the back haven't been moved at all; the back is their territory.
This pleasant atmosphere didn't last long. With Li Tianci's return, no one dared to talk about him anymore. If Li Tianci were to make a move, they would really get beaten up.
It's much better than before; at least Li Tianci won't cause trouble during class.
Even without him taking the lead, his underlings behaved themselves.
Even Sun Han became much more obedient.
The two of them always sat in the back row and looked at Shen Jiawan with gloomy eyes.
Some classmates reminded Shen Jiawan, but she didn't pay attention to them. Instead, she wanted to cram everything the teacher said into her brain.
Yu Xin loves snacks, and her desk is always full of them, which she often shares with Shen Jiayuan.
Shen Jiawan would sometimes try a little, but she didn't eat those snacks much.
She also knew that Yu Xin's parents hoped she could grow up healthy and strong, and they were quite accepting of Yu Xin's grades, since the family ran a snack shop anyway, which would eventually go to Yu Xin anyway.
Shen Jiawan didn't envy Yu Xin, because she used to be like that.
This reminded Shen Jiawan of her father, who had once been just as carefree, even happier than Yu Xin.
But those beautiful memories are already a thing of the past for her.
She only gave Yu Xin a couple of reminders and didn't say much else. During this time, Yu Xin had also learned a lot about her father's company.
Many people can still live well even after going bankrupt, like her family. Especially her father, who was clearly very capable and had his own plans for the business, went bankrupt because of a wrong decision and ended up with nothing. It was as if God was playing a joke on their family.
Such a large family fortune, and now it's all gone.
The bankruptcy happened so suddenly that Dad left nothing behind.
Shen Jiawan stopped thinking about those things that were already lost; what she needed to do now was to study diligently.
She encouraged herself in her heart, "Shen Jiawan, you must work hard and get everything back."
The system screamed, "Host, it's here, it's here, it's going to ignite!"
Xiang Bei rubbed its head and said, "You're really out of touch with reality. You're way behind the times."
The system tried to explain, but saw Xiang Bei put a finger to her lips and say, "Quiet, keep watching."
Seeing Shen Jiawan studying so diligently, and her snacks losing their flavor, Yu Xin took out her own book. "Let's study together, the two of us can keep each other company."
Other students were also influenced by them and joined in learning.
Even when Li Tianci and his friends were causing trouble, they would boldly say, "If you don't want to learn, we still want to learn."
The school is now cracking down on students like Li Tianci who don't study hard. If he dares to cause trouble again, he will be expelled.
The teacher was very pleased to see everyone's enthusiasm for learning.
Looking at Shen Jiawan, who brought all of this to light, I like her even more.
As for Li Tianci and Sun Han, who were still troublemakers, they had to make self-criticisms during the flag-raising ceremony. With the school leaders keeping them in check, they behaved themselves for quite some time.
After the monthly exam results are released, the rankings will be posted on the bulletin board for the senior students.
Yu Xin excitedly pulled Shen Jiawan to see the rankings, while Shen Jiawan was extremely nervous.
Sun Han saw them and even made a few sarcastic remarks.
"You're still so concerned about grades even though it's the last class?"
Yu Xin retorted directly, "At least we're trying. You're the last in the entire grade, what right do you have to laugh at us?"
Sun Han and Li Tianci were tied for last place in the entire grade, and called themselves the "Last Place Couple".
A group of students in the back row joined in the commotion, hailing them as heroes.
"You fatso, are you looking for death?!" Sun Han roared.
Shen Jiawan stood in front of Yu Xin, "Say that again if you dare?"
Looking at Shen Jiawan, Sun Han dared not say that even with so many of them, they were no match for her that day, let alone today when she was all alone.
Even if he wasn't good at studying, Sun Han still knew the saying, "A wise man submits to circumstances."
I never dared to say the words, "You just wait after school."
Sun Han felt very aggrieved. In the past, she would always say, "Don't leave after school," but ever since Shen Jiayuan beat them all up, she doesn't dare to say that anymore. After all, no one knows if the other party is a formidable character.
But the blame was still placed on Shen Jiawan.
Sun Han walked to the side and called Xu Miaoyan, "Sister Yan, that Shen Jiayuan is really hard to deal with."
After hearing something over there, Sun Han smiled and looked at Shen Jiawan's back with a hint of smugness.
Shen Jiawan dawdled and refused to check her grades, so Yu Xin rushed over and pushed through the crowd to look for Shen Jiawan's name on the class list. She looked from beginning to end but didn't see Shen Jiawan's name on their class list.
Yu Xin also became nervous, clenching her fists as she looked towards the classroom in front of her.
I saw Shen Jiawan's name on the tenth-to-last list of that class.
"Jiawan, you did it! You got into Class 16."
Yu Xin's voice was very loud, attracting the attention of many classmates.
Shen Jiawan naturally heard it too.
"real?"
"real."
Shen Jiawan hugged Yu Xin with one arm and spun her around several times. "Mom, did you see that? I did it! I succeeded!"
Xiang Bei had already seen it, and now, looking at Shen Jiawan, she was very happy for her.
She had already prepared everything in the trading mall, and now that she could improve her concentration, she could arrange it for Shen Jiayuan.
Shen Jiawan changed classes, but the teachers remained the same; the subject teachers were still people she knew, only the homeroom teacher changed.
The homeroom teachers of the last few classes all shared an office. They had heard Shen Jiawan's name mentioned before and knew that her grades had led to her being assigned to their class. The homeroom teacher specially assigned a few trusted confidants to help Shen Jiawan move her things.
Yu Xin was very reluctant to part with him. She clenched her fists and said, "Jia Wan, wait for me. I will definitely study hard and then come back to be your deskmate again."
"Okay, I'll wait for you, Yu Xin."
Shen Jiawan naturally told Jian Jingqiu about this as well.
However, she was very busy, and all of Jian Jingqiu's original plans were disrupted, making it impossible for her to earn money part-time.
Shen Jiawan asked Xiang Bei for some money and transferred it to Jian Jingqiu, but naturally, she didn't accept it.
"Don't worry, I'm not that short of money."
Shen Jiawan didn't dare to persuade her any further. Jingqiu could be quite stubborn at times; if she didn't want it, no amount of persuasion would change her mind.
Despite the busy schedule of her senior year of high school, Shen Jiawan would still visit Jian's parents during holidays, always bringing groceries with her.
"Auntie, I can bargain now too."
Wang Saifeng looked at her and felt quite sorry for her.
Such a kind-hearted girl, how could God be so blind?
While Jian's father cooked, Shen Jiawan watched from the side. Jian's father would also explain his cooking tips, which Shen Jiawan carefully wrote down, planning to make them herself when she got home.
She would also take photos and send them to Jian Jingqiu, telling her that her parents were doing well.
Jian's father would also make some dried meat for Shen Jiayuan to take with her.
Shen Jiawan loved the dried meat. She had a sudden inspiration, "Uncle, you're so good at cooking, you could set up a food stall and sell snacks. This dried meat is really delicious. If it's well-made, people will buy it even if it's a little more expensive."
Meat isn't cheap to begin with, and given that Mr. Jian's cooking skills are excellent, it's bound to taste good. If it's a bit more expensive, people will definitely be willing to pay for it.
"It's good, but my health isn't good, so I can't work for long periods of time."
"But sales are good, that's called scarcity marketing."
Shen Jiawan looked at the comments in front of her and said.
It was originally a spur-of-the-moment idea; she herself didn't really know how to do it, but she had a very capable mother.
Shen Jiawan chuckled and read her mother's words aloud, then proceeded to create a well-structured plan.
“But we don’t have any money.” Wang Saifeng also thought Shen Jiawan’s idea was very good.
But the family doesn't have much money to spare.
"Yes, I do. We can cooperate."
"Why don't we give it a try?" Mr. Jian suggested.
The family could have lived a more comfortable life, but because of his illness, he has to take medicine all year round. Sometimes he wishes he had just passed away when he got sick, so that at least his wife and daughter could have a better life.
Shen Jiawan's plan did indeed tempt Jian's father. With this skill, why couldn't he help ease the family's burden?
"We can also open an account and film videos of Uncle cooking, but the kitchen will need to be renovated."
The Jian family's kitchen is actually very clean; Jian's father always cleans the kitchen after cooking.
However, over time, some areas will still turn yellow.
Wang Saifeng gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, let's give it a try. Old Jian's skills are so good, I don't believe we can't sell them."
I spent some money to renovate the kitchen.
Moreover, their kitchen already faces the street, so they could easily have opened a small window there.
The garbage collection uses a separate entrance, so the two don't interfere with each other.
Shen Jiawan also bought equipment, and running back and forth made Wang Saifeng and her husband feel very embarrassed. Neither of them was very educated, but they didn't want a high school senior to work so hard, so they gritted their teeth and looked up words in the dictionary to learn how to use the new equipment.
None of this was told to Jian Jingqiu. In Shen Jiawan's words, she would tell her after it was done, which would be a pleasant surprise.
If it doesn't work out, then there's nothing more to say; she'll take full responsibility for all the losses, and we'll pretend it never happened.
Jian's parents were naturally unwilling, feeling that Shen Jiawan had already helped them a lot and they shouldn't trouble her any further, especially since it was their own choice in the first place.
At Xiang Bei's suggestion, both parties formally signed a contract to avoid future disputes.
Shen Jiawan said they still needed to apply for a business license, so Wang Saifeng made several trips to the Industry and Commerce Bureau. Unexpectedly, Jian's father's illness actually made things easier for them.
Jian's father is unable to walk and has a disability certificate. The government supports disabled people to start their own businesses.
Because it involves food processing, a health certificate is required.
Mr. Jian went to the hospital for another consultation. His illness was not contagious, but it was quite torturous for his body. He had no problem cooking, since he was the one who cooked all the meals at home. If there were any problems, his wife and children would have been in trouble long ago.
After a series of steps, all the necessary documents were processed quickly.
Jian's father's first order was from Shen Jiawan. She brought some dried meat to the classroom and distributed it to the students to try.
It was delicious, but Jian's father's shop was too far away, and it wasn't worth the trip for them.
Moreover, the students didn't have much money, so Shen Jiawan specially prepared small packages for them to try, which was also a way to promote Jian's father's shop.
When the teacher found out about this, she talked to Shen Jiawan again, mainly telling her to focus on her studies, since she had just joined the class and didn't want to go back to school for the next monthly exam.
Shen Jiawan felt that after changing her job, her concentration improved, and she was able to calm down and study. It was as if some kind of constraint on her was being broken.
