Jiang Cheng's voice was not loud, but his tone was so firm that no one could question it.
He Xinrui realized what he said and her face turned red.
When Jiang Cheng pointed at her, Zhou Yaya raised her eyes and looked at him. Her gloomy eyes quickly dropped after just a glance, without showing much emotion.
He Xinrui was shocked at first by what Jiang Cheng called her friend, then she reacted with a trembling voice.
"I, I'm sorry, I didn't know she was your friend, but I, I really didn't mean any harm when I said that just now."
"It's not up to you to decide whether there is malicious intent or not."
Jiang Cheng looked at He Xinrui with some impatience and felt that the girl in front of him smelled even stronger of tea. He really didn't like this kind of person now.
His expression became increasingly grim.
"No one here is deaf or blind. Do you really think no one can see your little trick? Apologize!"
He Xinrui was frightened by the word "apology" that he deliberately emphasized at the end. She didn't dare to say anything else. She turned around and apologized to Zhou Yaya with red eyes.
"I'm sorry, I probably hurt you with what I said just now, but I really didn't mean it."
Zhou Yaya looked at the pitiful girl in front of her, sneered in her heart, but did not show much on her face. She just lowered her head, shook her head, and said in a hoarse voice as if she was shrinking, "It's okay."
Just by hearing her voice, Jiang Cheng suddenly remembered the sound of her voice when she spoke to him that night.
At that time, he was still wondering how a woman's voice could be so unpleasant, but after reading the information, he only felt sympathy for her.
When he was thirteen, he encountered a fire and his throat was damaged by smoke and his face was ruined.
Her family was gone, and she was left alone. She struggled through school until she dropped out of high school.
Jiang Cheng had never dared to imagine that someone could live such a miserable life.
Yet, despite living such a miserable life, she still managed to maintain a kind heart. After discovering that he had been attacked, she stayed with him until he was sent to the hospital, and then left quietly.
Jiang Cheng thought that he was too superficial in the past.
Appearance is not the criterion for judging a person.
The more beautiful a woman is, the more vicious her mind is.
He Xinrui saw Jiang Cheng approach Zhou Yaya and wanted to say something, but the mall owner raised his hand to signal.
"Which brand's planner are you? I think your company needs someone else to coordinate with you."
When He Xinrui heard this, she no longer cared about Jiang Cheng.
I hurried over to explain to the mall owner.
Today was the first time she had been independently involved in planning and organizing an exhibition since she became a full-time employee. If she was replaced directly, she would be laughed at to death when she returned to the company.
She thought about trying to explain it to Mr. Cheng later, so she hurried after the mall manager and the boss.
After the people left, Jiang Cheng and Zhou Yaya felt much more comfortable talking.
Jiang Cheng asked her, "Do you still recognize me? You saved me two days ago."
Zhou Yaya nodded, "Are you okay?"
"Thanks to you."
Jiang Cheng said, "I came here specially to thank you today. Don't worry, when you work here in the future, no one will embarrass you like today. If you want to change your position or have other needs, you can also tell me."
Jiang Cheng said this with full confidence. Although this shopping mall had nothing to do with his family, Jiang Cheng had the confidence to make his promise to her.
When Zhou Yaya heard his words, she did not show any ecstasy on her face and remained calm.
"Need not."
“I’m used to it,” she said.
They were clearly just a few simple words, but they somehow seemed to have struck Jiang Cheng's heart.
It wasn't a heart-throb feeling, but he did want to help the girl more.
Just think of it as a way of repaying her for calling an ambulance for me.
…
On the other hand, on the third day after Jiang Xuxu returned to the academy, a major event also happened in the academy——
The dean of Hai City Taoist College, whom the freshmen had never seen since the start of the school year, finally showed up.
When the old man with a long beard and wearing a purple Taoist robe stood slowly in front of the stone statue of Bixi, the aura emanating from his body was like a stream that had been deposited over the years, flowing steadily and continuously.
As he stood there and spoke, there was a solemn silence.
Of course, Tu Xingzhu is not included here.
Tu Xingzhu was standing behind Jiang Xuxu at this moment. The amplitude of his mouth movement was so small that it was almost invisible, but Jiang Xuxu could still hear his whispered question.
"One hundred dollars, whether you want to listen to the dean's gossip or not."
Jiang Xuxu faced forward without changing his expression, but slowly spread out the five fingers of one hand behind him.
Fifty dollars, no more.
Tu Xingzhu muttered, "Fifty yuan is too little, you should add some more."
Jiang Xuxu's open five fingers turned into three fingers.
Thirty dollars.
If you keep talking nonsense, I will bargain.
Tu Xingzhu cursed her in a low voice for being stingy despite being rich, but still secretly told her gossip about the dean.
"Don't be fooled by the fact that the dean looks old. In fact, he is really old. I heard that he is 150 years old this year."
"He and the dean of Jingshi College are brothers in the same school. His brother took over as the dean of the Taoist College in Jingshi, so the girl he liked stayed in Jingshi to be with his brother. The dean was so angry that he applied to come to Haishi to be the dean."
"The dean has not been seen these days. He went to Beijing to fight with his senior brother. He lost the fight and spent a month recovering from his injuries. He only came back after he was fully healed."
…
Every time Tu Xingzhu spoke, the students next to him would subconsciously move their ears closer to them. By the end, the students around Tu Xingzhu were like a closed flower.
Several people here were listening attentively, when suddenly, they felt that the dean's voice on the stage stopped. Then, the next second, the dean, who was supposed to be standing in the front, appeared next to Tu Xingzhu in an instant as if he had teleported.
