Chapter 169 The Plan Encounters an Unexpected Twist



Although Xu Jianian had already told him almost everything, and the plan shouldn't go wrong, he was still quite worried that the poems he gave Zhou Changgui wouldn't be good enough for him.

If that's the case, then he'll have to help come up with a solution.

Thinking this, looking at the private room in front of him, Jiang Sheng stepped forward and tentatively knocked on the door.

Less than two seconds after you knock on the door, someone inside will open it.

Standing inside was none other than Xu Jianian.

Looking at Jiang Sheng standing in front of him, Xu Jianian smiled slightly and stepped aside to make way for him.

"Come in first and we'll talk. My friend and I have discussed it. We have a really good poem that my friend just wrote. Take a look and see if it's okay. If it is, I'll give it to Teacher Zhou directly."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Sheng changed his mind and shook his head at Xu Jianian.

"I think it's best if you don't give this poem to Teacher Zhou."

Why?

Xu Jianian was completely puzzled, not understanding why Jiang Sheng had suddenly changed his mind.

“We clearly agreed yesterday that my friend would write the poem, and then I would personally deliver it to Teacher Zhou.”

"If Teacher Zhou thinks this poem is even better, he will definitely be unable to resist showing it to your second sister."

This was the plan that Xu Jianian and Jiang Sheng had discussed beforehand, but Xu Jianian never expected that Jiang Sheng would suddenly change his mind after only one night.

Could he possibly have a better solution?

"I was just thinking," Jiang Shengqing cleared his throat and took the initiative to explain, seeing Xu Jianian's puzzled expression, "Your family background is so powerful. If you were to hand it to Teacher Zhou yourself, he would be wary of your family background. No matter how well the poem is written, he might not take it and keep it for himself."

"So I was thinking, if that's the case, even if we follow your plan, it might not succeed."

After hearing Jiang Sheng's explanation, Xu Jianian nodded in understanding.

“Oh, I see. So you mean…” Xu Jianian immediately understood Jiang Sheng’s meaning: “I’ll have my friend go directly to Teacher Zhou and tell him that this poem is one he just wrote and we don’t know if it’s good or not, right?”

Xu Jianian wasn't entirely stupid. Jiang Sheng nodded: "That's right, that's exactly what I mean. Only in this way can we lower Zhou Changgui's guard. If they can really claim this poem as their own, then wouldn't they have the so-called evidence you want?"

"That's a good idea, we can give it a try!"

This time, Xu Jianian approved Jiang Sheng's plan without even thinking about it: "If Teacher Zhou dares to bring it out, I will definitely not let this scum who deceived me off easily!"

After saying this, Xu Jianian gritted his teeth, looking genuinely angry.

Jiang Sheng, watching her angry expression, was somewhat surprised and taken aback.

"Didn't you think Teacher Zhou was a really good person? Why are you suddenly so angry?"

Xu Jianian pursed his lips and sat down in the chair with some disappointment, as if he had already confirmed that Zhou Changgui was that kind of person.

"You're willing to gamble so much with me, and things have come to this point, so I believe you won't lie to me."

"I have very clear likes and dislikes. I will definitely repay those who are good to me tenfold, but if anyone dares to deceive me, I will definitely repay them tenfold as well!"

She seems to be a straightforward girl who dares to love and hate and says what she thinks.

Jiang Sheng made a judgment about Xu Jianian's personality in his heart, and through this conversation, he changed some of his thoughts about Xu Jianian.

They know etiquette, understand shame, and can distinguish right from wrong.

It seems she's not an utterly hopeless girl.

“Since we’ve said enough,” Jiang Sheng said, extending his right hand to Xu Jianian. “Then let me see the poem your friend wrote. Let me see what I think.”

"Wait for me!"

Xu Jianian nodded quickly, then took out a neatly folded piece of paper from the small bag on his side and handed it to Jiang Sheng with both hands.

"Here it is."

Jiang Sheng reached out and took the paper. After opening it, he raised an eyebrow in surprise as he read what was written on it.

The poem was even better than he had imagined; it was quite well-written.

The parallelism and rhyme scheme are quite neat, showing that the author put a lot of effort into conceiving this poem.

Jiang Sheng read it carefully from beginning to end and thought it was pretty good.

But if it were really meant to be shown to Zhou Changgui, Zhou Changgui probably still wouldn't use it.

After all, although the poem is well-written, it is a celebration of friendship.

It should be noted that every time Zhou Changgui showed Zhao Xuehui his so-called poems, the vast majority of them were obscure and vague love poems.

If this piece praising friendship were shown to Zhou Changgui, he might think it was quite good, but he would absolutely never show it to Zhao Xuehui.

Therefore, this method is not entirely feasible.

Watching Jiang Sheng sit in the chair reading the poem from beginning to end, he suddenly frowned and didn't say anything.

Xu Jianian couldn't help but get anxious and hurriedly urged, "What's wrong with this poem? Is it good or bad? Tell me about it..."

When asked by Xu Jianian, Jiang Sheng snapped out of his reverie, glanced at the expectant Xu Jianian in front of him, and told the truth.

"The poetry is good, and it's very well written..."

Before Jiang Sheng could finish speaking, Xu Jianian interrupted him excitedly.

"That's great. Since it's written quite well, my friend can rightfully hand this poem over to Teacher Zhou."

Halfway through his sentence, Xu Jianian couldn't help but ask, puzzled, "But then again, why did you suddenly frown while you were looking at it? It's fine, isn't it? So what other problem is there?"

"Let me finish speaking first."

Watching Xu Jianian chatter away like a machine gun, Jiang Sheng shook his head helplessly, feeling a headache coming on.

"Then hurry up and tell me, hehe, sorry, I'm too impatient," Xu Jianian chuckled, sticking out his tongue at Jiang Sheng: "I promise I won't interrupt you anymore. Since everything is pretty good, what are you hesitating about?"
