Jiang Qingxue interjected, "Sister Xiaoli, self-study means learning whatever you want, right?"
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "Yes, but we should still prioritize learning the basic knowledge from school."
She raised her little hand and said loudly, "Mommy, I know everything the teacher taught in class. Can I only learn what I want to learn from now on?"
Qiao Xing'er was a little incredulous. "You've mastered it all? Ah Xue, you can't lie to your mother."
Jiang Qingxue confidently raised her chin, "Mom, if you don't believe me, you can have my older brothers and sisters test me!"
This piqued everyone's interest, even the few people drinking nearby turned to look.
Jiang Ruibo had drunk a bit too much. His face was flushed as he walked over and touched his daughter's little braids. "My daughter Xue is actually a little genius!"
Seeing that he was standing unsteadily, Qiao Xing'er quickly got up and helped him sit down. "Why did you drink so much!"
Jiang Ruibo smiled and waved his hand, "It's nothing, I'm happy!"
Then he asked, "How am I going to test my Xue?"
Jiang Qingning was the first to raise her hand, "Uncle, I'll test Xue!"
No one objected. Jiang Qingning took Jiang Qingxue's textbook and tested her from beginning to end, and she didn't make a single mistake.
Jiang Ruibo sobered up a bit by now.
He and his wife exchanged a glance, and Qiao Xing'er said, "Could our Xue be a child prodigy?"
The little girl was so proud of the praise that she exclaimed, "Sister Ningning, the questions you gave me were too easy! Let Brother Taotao give me the questions instead!"
Jiang Chengtong was quite interested, so he took out another book on a different subject and started testing him.
After the exam, even Grandpa Jiang was surprised. "Little Pear, it seems you were right!"
Jiang Xiaoli nodded. "I guess so."
Qiao Xing'er was both happy and worried. "Xiao Li, Xue is learning so much at such a young age. Won't it have a negative impact?"
Jiang Ruibo first refuted her statement, "I've only ever heard of the brain becoming sharper the more you use it, never of it regressing."
Grandma Jiang hugged Jiang Qingxue in her arms. "Qingxue, tell Grandma, is school usually very boring?"
The little boy nodded. "Grandma, I don't like playing with those little brats. I like playing with older friends like Sister Xiaoli and Sister Xiaoyu!"
Jiang Ruibo made the decision, "Axue, tomorrow your dad and I will take you to school for a retest. We'll go to whichever grade you're suited for, okay?"
"Alright then," Jiang Qingxue said like a little adult. "I hope my new classmates will be a bit smarter."
Jiang Qingning suddenly shivered and whispered to Jiang Chengtong, "Ah Xue won't jump to our age, right?"
Jiang Chengtong was stunned. "No, really?"
Hearing her two children's conversation, Wang Min couldn't help but laugh out loud. "If Xue could be in the same grade as you, you'd better take good care of her!"
Qiao Xing'er laughed too, "Tao Tao, Ning Ning, you two are 13 years old, and this little girl is only 7 years old. There's no way she could be in the same grade as you!"
Jiang Xiaoli has reservations about this, believing that the simpler the subject in the lower grades, the easier it is to be surpassed.
She smiled and said, "Good luck, Xue!"
Jiang Qingxue hugged her arm, "Sister Xiaoli, can you come to my house again tomorrow to hear my good news?"
She readily agreed, "Of course!"
After discussing Xiaodouding's studies, Jiang Ruixin said, "Xiaoli, Jincheng is drunk. Why don't you stay at home tonight?"
She shook her head. "No, we have an appointment with the 'Sevier' group tomorrow. Let's go back and rest; tomorrow will be more convenient."
Jiang Ruixin didn't insist on keeping her after hearing that she had a plan. "Okay, then I'll have someone else take you back."
Upon hearing this, Dai Guangbin, standing at the restaurant entrance, seemed to be showing off, and in one go, he hoisted Xiao Jincheng onto his shoulder. "Chairman Jiang, I can do it. Let's go."
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled, "Second Uncle, it seems we don't need anyone's help."
Jiang Ruixin chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, then you two be careful on your way back."
To accommodate the intoxicated Xiao Jincheng, the car drove slowly, and they didn't arrive at the hotel until 9:30 p.m.
Dai Guangbin stayed in Xiao Jincheng's room to take care of him, while Jiang Xiaoli returned to her own room.
She washed up, tidied herself up, and was about to go to sleep when there was a knock on her door.
Cao Jie was followed by three people from the investment promotion department.
Zou Nan waved the documents in his hand. "President Jiang, we heard that President Xiao is drunk, so we had to come to you to review the cooperation agreement with 'Baoli.' We've already had it confirmed by the company's legal department."
Jiang Xiaoli stepped aside to invite them in, saying, "Please, make yourselves at home."
She opened the folder, went through the agreement in both Chinese and English from beginning to end, and then nodded. "No problem, let's get Mr. Xiao to sign it tomorrow after he wakes up."
The three of them said goodbye and left. Cao Jie trailed behind them. "Chairman Jiang, guess what? When I went back just now, Yuan Dong was in our room! It gave me a fright!"
Jiang Xiaoli frowned. Although Cao Jie was very skilled and not afraid of a weak scholar like Yuan Dong, she still found Cao Jie's behavior very offensive.
She didn't want to get involved in Zou Nan and Ye Tang's messy affair, but now she plans to remind them tomorrow.
The next morning, Jiang Xiaoli called breakfast into the room, and while eating, she video-chatted with Li Guizhi and Zong Jia.
After finishing their meal and chatting for a while, "Mom, Ayu, I have to go now. Uncle Xiao drank too much with Uncle and the others last night. I'm going to check on him."
Li Guizhi quickly said, "Then you should go now, we'll talk later."
Zong Jia waved at the camera, "Little Pear, contact me when you're done."
She agreed to everything, then hung up the chat and turned off her computer.
Upon arriving next door, Dai Guangbin opened the door. "Chairman Jiang, President Xiao just woke up."
Jiang Xiaoli brought the honey water she had just asked the waiter into the room. "Uncle Xiao, I got you some honey water. Please have a couple of sips after you've washed up."
Xiao Jincheng came out of the bathroom and gulped down all the honey water in one go. "Ah, hot things taste so good!"
She smiled. "Uncle Xiao, are you alright? If not, I'll take them over to 'Sevier'."
Xiao Jincheng waved his hand, "What's wrong with that! It'll work!"
He laughed and said, "In the early years, I had to drink countless amounts of alcohol with people in order to get a contract. Now my alcohol tolerance has deteriorated."
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "Uncle Xiao, this is a good thing. It means you've risen to a higher position and have more options for what you want to do and what you don't want to do."
Xiao Jincheng nodded repeatedly, "Little Pear speaks so clearly!"
He picked up the sandwich she brought and took a bite. "Ugh, I'm craving spicy soup. This icy stuff is so boring!"
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and nodded, "I'll treat you to a meal when we get back to China!"
