Even so, Jiang Shengran still accepted Xu Jianian's favor, since the other party had no need to spend that money.
"Anyway, thank you so much for today."
Jiang Sheng sincerely thanked him, saying, "Teacher Zhou, you must have put a lot of thought into coming here today."
"That's not true."
Xu Jianian shrugged, looking completely indifferent: "Although Teacher Zhou made several excuses not to come, in the end I had to tell her that some of my classmates wanted to find English tutors and offered very high prices. After a long time of persuasion, Teacher Zhou finally agreed."
No wonder.
Upon hearing Xu Jianian's suggestion, Jiang Sheng immediately understood.
After all, the other party offered such a high price, and Zhou Changgui is so greedy and vain, how could he possibly refuse?
Only if Zhou Changgui leaves can this play possibly continue smoothly.
"Anyway, thank you so much for today."
After today's incident, Xu Jianian has begun to have some doubts about Zhou Changgui.
After all, having repeatedly refused Xu Jianian's invitations, any girl would probably find it hard to truly trust Zhou Changgui.
Although he had doubts, Xu Jianian would not completely believe Jiang Sheng without seeing any evidence.
However, seeing Jiang Sheng's gratitude towards him, Xu Jianian blinked.
"You owe me another favor. It seems that because of Teacher Zhou, things between us will probably be difficult to resolve in the future."
Jiang Sheng said helplessly, "You were the one who offered to help me. We've already agreed on that, so how did it become that I owe you another favor?"
While this statement might sound a bit like "crossing the river and burning the bridge," it's still a valid point.
Xu Jianian seemed to have misheard. Looking at Jiang Sheng's helpless expression, he couldn't help but complain, "Hey, do you have to be so stingy? I did you such a big favor, and you can't even afford to owe me one. Really!"
"Alright, alright, as long as this can be done, then I'll owe you a favor..."
"That's a deal!"
Before Jiang Sheng could finish speaking, Xu Jianian quickly interrupted him, as if afraid that the other party would change his mind.
"You'll have to agree to whatever I ask. That means you'll owe me two requests. I'll have to think carefully about what you'll do for me then!"
After a pause, she suddenly added, "Go to the private room and order some dishes first, so your friend won't have to wait. Then I'll wait for you at Tianshuijian. We'll talk about some things there..."
Before Xu Jianian could finish speaking, Zhou Changgui's voice came from the hotel entrance.
"Good evening, Xu..."
As soon as Zhou Changgui finished speaking, he saw Jiang Sheng, who was next to Xu Jianian, turn around and look at him.
He had already seen Jiang Sheng when he was standing at the door, but Jiang Sheng had his back to him and was chatting with Xu Jianian.
In addition, due to the angle of his position, he only felt that Jiang Sheng's back looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment.
Seeing the look in Jiang Sheng's eyes, Zhou Changgui's smile froze slightly, and he was quite surprised.
What's Jiang Sheng doing here?
He chatted happily with Xu Jianian there, and the two were far more familiar with each other than Zhou Changgui had expected.
His alarm bells instantly went off in his head.
The relationship between these two seems to be getting better and better.
He originally wanted to use Xu Jianian to climb another social class, but now it seems that Xu Jianian and Jiang Sheng are getting closer and closer, which is not conducive to his next plan.
Thinking of this, Zhou Changgui felt a surge of resentment and jealousy towards Jiang Sheng.
Why does this kid always appear no matter where I go?
Could he have been born to bring me bad luck?
Despite thinking this, Zhou Changgui had to force a smile and walk towards the two of them, while also looking at Jiang Sheng with a surprised and unexpected expression.
“Xiao Jiang, I really didn’t expect to meet you here,” Zhou Changgui said with a gentle smile, looking at Jiang Sheng with some surprise. “I wasn’t planning to come today, but Xiao Xu insisted on having me come to thank me, so I had no choice but to accept his kindness.”
This was both a greeting and a subtle explanation to Jiang Sheng of why he was there.
Jiang Sheng was too lazy to listen to Zhou Changgui's explanation, but in order to make the act more convincing, he forced himself to nod and put on a respectful smile.
"This student Xu just told me that Teacher Zhou is wholeheartedly devoted to his students, and I admire Teacher Zhou from the bottom of my heart."
These words were impeccable, and coupled with Jiang Sheng's sincere expression, it seemed as if he genuinely admired Zhou Changgui.
Zhou Changgui had some doubts at first, but after seeing the expression on Jiang Sheng's face, his doubts completely disappeared.
He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly at Jiang Sheng.
"Xiao Jiang, what you said is really too kind. As a teacher, I naturally have to consider the students in everything I do."
Zhou Changgui said with a faint smile, "Everything I do is naturally with the students in mind."
These words sounded so convincing that Jiang Sheng merely listened without taking them to heart.
After all, people like Zhou Changgui are selfish and only think of themselves from beginning to end, which is an insult to the title of "people's teacher".
He didn't want to waste any more time dealing with Zhou Changgui here, so he glanced at Xu Jianian in front of him and smiled slightly.
"Xu, since Teacher Zhou is here too, I won't bother you any longer. I'm having dinner with some friends today, and they should be waiting for me in the private room. See you later."
As Jiang Sheng spoke, he kept in mind what Xu Jianian had just told him.
Since the other party had booked another private room specifically for him, he would just find an opportunity to go there later.
Thinking this, Jiang Sheng looked at Zhou Changgui in front of him and saw a flash of hatred quickly pass through Zhou Changgui's eyes before he smiled slightly at him.
"Since you came with friends, Xiao Jiang, and Xu brought them to the class reunion, it wouldn't be appropriate for us to bring you along."
Zhou Changgui, looking somewhat apologetic, said, "Otherwise, I was planning to invite you and your friends to have a meal together, so it would be more lively."
