Yuan Man received an affirmative answer, and her face lit up with a warm smile. "Okay, then I'll go to Du Jingheng's place to register you. Xiaoyu and I will come to cheer you on and bring you water!"
Yuan Man happily went to tell Du Jingheng, the sports and arts committee member, the good news. Xie Yitao was a little surprised, "You can really run long distances?"
"Yes!" Jiang Xiaoli nodded. "I've been exercising regularly. Appropriate exercise helps with physical development. Don't you think I've grown a little bit taller?"
Xie Yitao looked hesitant, "I...I didn't pay much attention..."
Jiang Xiaoli could tell at a glance that he didn't believe her. "Hmph, I measured it myself. I've grown a full 0.3 centimeters in the past two months!"
"0.3 centimeters?" Xie Yitao was a little shocked when he heard this number. How did she manage to measure his height so accurately?
However, knowing his deskmate's longing to grow taller, he thoughtfully gave him an admiring look and praised, "You're really amazing!"
Jiang Xiaoli proudly raised her chin, her playful ponytail drawing a beautiful arc in the air.
Chen Jing joined their conversation, "Xiao Li, I heard from my old classmates at No. 1 High School that No. 1 High School is going to organize a joint high school exam next month. Will you participate?"
"High school joint exam? That should only be taken by senior students, right? I'll ask Teacher Chen later."
She wasn't really interested in these exams, but she couldn't resist the fact that getting good grades would make Ms. Li Guizhi happy.
Chen Jing strongly recommended, "Then you should ask Teacher Chen as soon as possible. I heard that the senior students at No. 1 High School are very arrogant. They said they would take all ten spots in the city-wide joint exam!"
Now Jiang Xiaoli was even more interested. "Tsk tsk tsk, let's let them give it a try."
Before school ended, she ran to Teacher Chen and volunteered, saying, "Teacher Chen, I want to bring honor to our No. 20 Middle School!"
Chen Zhe couldn't stop smiling when he heard this, and Zhao Jiawei nodded, "That's great! Teacher Chen, why don't we sign Jiang Xiaoli and Xu Xing up too, so that other schools can see the style of our No. 20 Middle School students?"
Chen thought for a moment, "No rush, no rush. I'll go ask the head of the academic affairs group. They are our trump cards. I wonder if the leaders are willing to let them appear in everyone's sight so early."
The teachers were having a lively discussion. When Jiang Xiaoli got home, she jokingly asked Zong Jia, "I heard that your No. 1 High School is going to hold a high school league. Will you participate?"
Zong Jiayu nodded, "If I don't take this kind of exam, I might not be able to get leave in the future."
"Haha, that's true."
Jiang Xiaoli thought about how often he took leave and felt a little sorry for his teacher.
After she went inside and drank a glass of water, she asked, "Are you here to pick up the capital verification report?"
Zong Jiayu asked with a smile, "Have you forgotten something very important?"
Jiang Xiaoli frowned. "Something very important? What is it?"
Li Guizhi came in after finishing her work in the yard. "You've arranged everything, but you forgot to name the company."
"Haha!" She slapped her forehead. "It really is!"
After thinking for a while, she sat on a small stool, holding her head in her hands, and cried out, "Ugh! I'm such a terrible name-giver!"
Li Guizhi suggested, "Otherwise, we could call it Little Pear Foods."
Jiang Xiaoli waved her hand, "No way! Using a name as a company name is so embarrassing!"
Zong Jiayu disagreed. "I think my godmother's suggestion is great. We're in the food business, so a simple and easy-to-understand company name is fine. 'Little Pear Foods' sounds very appetizing."
But Jiang Xiaoli still didn't agree, and she paced around the room in circles.
After a moment, she excitedly snapped her fingers, "I've got it! Let's call it 'Jiang Li Ji'! Using my dad's and mom's surnames, what do you think?"
Neither of them had any objections, and Zong Jia nodded. "Then let's start with 'Jiang Li Ji,' and think of another option."
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled, "If we're talking about alternatives, how about 'Li Jiang Ji'?"
Li Guizhi was amused by her, "You really know how to take shortcuts."
"How can this be considered opportunistic? As long as it works, that's all that matters!" Jiang Xiaoli winked smugly.
After the company name was finalized, Zong Jiayu presented his proposed business scope for Jiang Xiaoli to confirm.
Once all the documents were prepared, he capped his pen. "We can expedite the business license process; it will only take three days. When do we sign the acquisition contract with Uncle Wei?"
Jiang Xiaoli thought for a moment, "Now that everything is ready, let's not procrastinate. Let's make an appointment with Uncle Wei as soon as we get the business license."
"Okay, no problem, I'll arrange it."
After finishing their business, Jiang Xiaoli brought up the topic of the high school joint entrance exam again, saying, "I signed up for this joint entrance exam with my teacher today."
Zong Jiayu wasn't very surprised. "Little Pear, you have to keep it up!"
Li Guizhi revealed, "Well, that's great. Xiao Li just told me she wanted to compete with you in an exam, and now there's this joint exam. I think you two should spend more time studying in addition to your business. Let's see how your grades are this time."
Zong Jiayu smiled and nodded in agreement, "I feel honored to be on the same list as Xiao Lizi."
Jiang Xiaoli raised an eyebrow. "Are you confident in yourself, or in me?"
“I have confidence in both of us,” Zong Jia said softly.
Seeing his eagerness, Jiang Xiaoli gave him a heads-up, "I'm not sure yet whether my teacher will agree to me taking the joint entrance exam. I'll tell you the definite news when you come to my house for dinner tomorrow."
