Qiao Xi stared in astonishment, her mouth agape, utterly bewildered by his actions.
But then he said something that shocked Qiao Xi even more: "There's nothing I, Chu Junze, can't get if I want it."
Qiao Xi, “…”
After a couple of seconds, Qiao Xi asked stiffly, "Young Master Chu, have you misunderstood something?"
To be precise, are they talking about the same thing? What does her changing majors have to do with whether he gets her or not?
Chu Junze took another step closer to Qiao Xi and confessed to her earnestly, "Qiao Xi, I want you to be my woman."
Before she could finish speaking, Qiao Xi's eyes widened suddenly, and her lips twitched uncontrollably.
Chu Junze seemed completely unconcerned about Qiao Xi's reaction. Suddenly, as if possessed by a domineering CEO, he said to her in a forceful tone, "It's okay if you don't agree. Anyway, from now on, you're mine."
As he spoke, he reached out to touch Qiao Xi's face. Without thinking, Qiao Xi grabbed his wrist, yanked it sharply, and pinned his hand behind his back. Then she kicked him in the knee, and he fell to his knees with a thud, letting out a scream, "Ah!!!"
"Let go!" Chu Junze struggled painfully.
Qiao Xi gripped his wrist tightly, tightening her grip with each movement he made. "Do you still have those thoughts now?"
"Qiao Xi, you... Ah!!!" The scream was even louder than before.
They could probably hear it all in the classroom by now, so Qiao Xi quickly threatened him, "Don't let me hear that again, or I guarantee your hand will be ruined!"
"If this hand is ruined, there are many things you won't be able to do." After reminding him one last time, she let go of his hand.
However, there was a deeper meaning behind his words. Qiao Xi thought he wouldn't understand, but to her surprise, he actually replied, "Hmph, I wonder how many women are willing to serve me!"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xi wanted to give him a thumbs up from the bottom of her heart. Thinking about what happened to him in her past life, it might not be fake, it might be true, he really did die so dishonorably.
However, considering that he had helped her, she sincerely wished him to get through that ordeal, saying, "I wish you a smooth 25th birthday."
"What do you mean?!" Chu Junze rubbed his wrist indignantly.
Qiao Xi succinctly summarized it as: "Maintaining one's moral integrity."
After saying that, Qiao Xi waved her sleeve and left without taking a single cloud with her.
"Qiao Xi!" Chu Junze roared with a heart-wrenching intensity after realizing what had happened, "I will definitely make you my woman!"
The last note was interrupted by a stone that flew in from who-knows-where.
Chu Junze, rubbing his forehead which had almost been smashed open, shouted angrily, "Who?! Who attacked me?!"
Not far away, a slender figure hidden behind the artificial rockery quietly left.
Principal's Office.
Heated discussions erupted, with the head of the finance department and professors expressing their opinions passionately. "We can't let her transfer to another department; I absolutely disagree."
Another professor chimed in, "Yes, our finance department has finally produced such a prodigy. We absolutely cannot let her go to the design department."
"Design is not a key major at our school. If we let her go to design, it would be a waste of talent," the director said passionately.
"That's right, we absolutely cannot agree to it."
“But this is Qiao’s own wish.” Qiu Yishi stood inconspicuously in the crowd; he was only qualified to stand here and participate in the discussion because he was Qiao Xi’s class advisor.
"Teacher Qiu," the director instructed Qiu Yishi, adopting his proper demeanor, "you are her class advisor. You need to explain the pros and cons to her and patiently persuade her."
Qiu Yishi said with a troubled expression, "I've already said it, but Qiao's stance is very firm."
Hearing him say that, the director looked displeased. He was about to say something more about Qiu Yishi when the principal asked, "Who among you would like to go and talk to her again?"
Although they all wanted to win Qiao Xi's heart, when it came to actually talking to her, they all became cowards.
The master's sly eyes suddenly turned to Shao Ruihan, "Professor Shao, you may go."
"Me?" Shao Ruihan hadn't said a word since she came in. She had no interest in this kind of 'gathering' and wanted to stay out of it, but this time it just happened to be hers.
Another professor chimed in, "You're both women, so you'll have more in common and it'll be easier to persuade her."
Without giving Shao Ruihan a chance to refuse, the principal encouraged her, saying, "How about this, I can set up some reward mechanisms for her, and you, Professor Shao, can personally convey them to her."
Having said that, she seemed to have no way to refuse anymore, so she could only bite the bullet and say, "Then I'll give it a try."
Qiao Xi left the noisy environment and went straight to Dihua Group. Just like the last time she entered, Qi Jincheng covered for her, and she hid in Qi Jincheng's arms as she entered the office.
Her arrival made the company more lively, but the employees had become smarter and dared not use online chat software anymore, instead gossiping secretly in their respective offices.
At first, Qiao Xi moved a stool and sat next to Qi Jincheng, watching him review documents, one after another. Before she could even see them clearly, he had already signed and closed them and moved on to another one.
This process was repeated repeatedly, almost like hypnosis, and her eyelids involuntarily closed along with the documents in his hand.
When Qi Jincheng closed the last document, Qiao Xi had already fallen into a deep sleep, leaning on his shoulder.
As she breathed evenly, Qi Jincheng couldn't help but smile indulgently.
He put down the documents in his hand, carefully picked up Qiao Xi, grabbed a book, and gently placed her on the sofa. He then sat down and let Qiao Xi rest her head on his lap.
As Qi Jincheng read his book, he would occasionally touch Qiao Xi's face with his hand, experiencing a kind of comfort he had never felt before.
But usually, someone will come and disturb us at these times.
First came a knock on the door. In order not to disturb Qiao Xi, Qi Jincheng did not make a sound. Fortunately, the knocking was not very loud. But the person outside did not give up. Seeing that the door was unlocked, they came in directly.
He Fan thought Qi Jincheng wasn't there and wanted to leave the documents on his desk, but just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw the president's figure on the sofa, and... the president's wife sleeping soundly on his lap!
This scene is incredibly beautiful; just one glance at it makes you feel like you've been fed a dose of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
