Shi Jing frowned, trying hard to recall Zhu Jinzhao's reactions.
"When she heard me say that I liked her, she was shocked at first, then surprised, happy, and a little flattered."
"And then?" the craft teacher asked. "Didn't you say you confessed your feelings to her many times? How did she react the later times you confessed?"
Shi Jing: "She was still very happy, but she was a little shy and embarrassed. If I confessed my feelings too often, she would cover my mouth with her hand."
The craft teacher carefully considered his descriptions, and after a moment, asked, "Will she blush? Will she be afraid to look at you?"
Shi Jing nodded repeatedly: "Yes! Every time I confess my feelings to her, she blushes and buries her head, not daring to look at me."
"Then there's no problem!" The craft teacher snapped her fingers, her eyes filled with hope as she looked at Shi Jing. "Mr. Shi, you're all set. Jin Zhao definitely likes you!"
"If you like me, why do you deliberately make me anxious?" Shi Jing was still struggling with this question.
The craft teacher said, "Oh dear, this is just a little bit of fun today. First, I give you the illusion that you're going to get cold, making you anxious and restless for a long time, and then I pull out a handful of candy from my pocket and tell you not to be sad, because she actually likes you a lot."
"Really?" Shi Jing asked, half believing and half doubting.
The craft teacher looked at her with certainty: "Of course it's true! Because that's exactly what I did to my boyfriend back then."
"..." Shi Jing laughed, "I never expected that Chaochao would have such a bad side."
Craft teacher: "Women who fall in love are all a little bit naughty."
Shi Jing took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, trying to calm her agitated mind.
"Teacher, what do you think I should do now? Should I continue to pretend to be anxious and cater to Chaochao's little whims, or should I tell my family that I'm getting married soon?"
"..." The craft teacher's speechlessness was deafening.
"No!! Now that you've confirmed that Jinzhao likes you too, and there's a high chance she'll accept your confession, your top priority right now should be buying flowers!"
"A beautiful love story begins with a bouquet of flowers. Do you really expect someone to be with you empty-handed?"
"...Oh, right!" Shi Jing was so happy that she forgot to buy flowers.
He quickly grabbed his phone from the sofa and searched for the florist's number in his contacts: "I'll call right now and order a trunk full of flowers!"
"Hey..." The craft teacher was satisfied. "That's more like a confession."
Shi Jing raised an eyebrow and chuckled smugly: "Although the teacher is right, there is one point I think needs to be corrected."
"Correct what?" the craft teacher asked with a grin, unaware of the seriousness of the situation.
Shi Jing looked up at her and said, "I've never confessed my feelings to Chaochao empty-handed. So far, I've given her a bracelet worth over 500,000 yuan and a 400-square-meter apartment."
"Next, I plan to give her a car and a villa with a garden."
"..."
The craft teacher's face immediately fell, and she could no longer smile.
Shi Jing winked at her and said to the florist on the other end of the phone in a pretentious manner, "My requirements are very simple, I only want the best quality flowers in your store! Price is not a problem at all."
"What model is it? The most expensive Mercedes-Benz G-Class."
Craft teacher: "...I'll fight you rich people to the death!!!"
Shi Jing had no mood to finish the remaining crafts. After ordering flowers by phone, he started communicating with the florist about the details of arranging the flowers, leaving the craft teacher to play with pipe cleaners by herself.
Although it was a bit boring and speechless, the craft teacher was quite enjoying herself because Shi Jing had already paid the money, so she could still get her commission even if she just sat there doing nothing.
What could be more enjoyable than getting a commission for free?
The answer is no...
"Teacher, can you help me decide which of these two roses is better?" Shi Jing couldn't make up her mind, so she asked the craft teacher for advice.
The craft teacher hesitated for a moment, but finally chose white.
"What kind of rose is this? It looks so different."
Shi Jing: "The shopkeeper said it's called Juliet, and it costs 120 yuan a branch."
"One hundred and twenty?! One branch?!" The craft teacher was stunned by the price. "Then, how many branches did you buy?"
Shi Jing said casually, "I've bought two hundred branches for now."
"..."
The craft teacher almost cried: "You've bought three months' worth of my salary."
Shi Jing: "...Three months' salary? Your salary is so low."
Craft teacher: "...Please switch back to the rural channel."
"..." Shi Jing suppressed a laugh and glanced at her, pretending not to hear her wailing.
However, to repay her for her understanding and advice, Shi Jing did not let her stay on the rural channel for too long.
"Teacher, what's your last name?" Shi Jing asked casually while replying to a WeChat message.
The craft teacher continued playing with pipe cleaners: "My surname is Ye, and my name is Ye Ling."
Shi Jing nodded: "How are you doing with this job? Do you like it?"
Ye Ling: "I don't like it!"
Her tone was even more resolute than when she joined the Party: "The salary is low, and there are so many trivial things to deal with every day... On the surface, I'm a craft teacher, but behind the scenes, I have to do all sorts of chores like sweeping and wiping tables!"
"I could accept doing it, but I kept running into stupid customers. I was teaching them how to do crafts, and they wanted to teach me how to kiss! If the boss didn't forbid us from hitting customers, I would have fucking smashed them to death!"
"..." Shi Jing's expression was somewhat terrified.
Before Ye Ling answered this question, he had always thought she was a gentle and patient person. But who knew that gentleness and patience were just a facade, and the real her was almost driven crazy by this job.
"Besides crafts, what else can you do?" Shi Jing asked with a hint of sympathy.
Ye Ling pouted and shook her head: "I didn't go to school much, and I don't know how to do anything else besides these handicrafts... Why did Mr. Shi suddenly ask this?"
Shi Jing opened Ye Ling's WeChat and sent her a contact.
“This person is my friend. His father is a shareholder of Dijing International Kindergarten. The kindergarten happens to be hiring a craft teacher. If you don’t mind, you can give it a try.”
"...Huh?" The surprise came a bit suddenly, and Ye Ling hadn't even reacted yet.
Shi Jing: "This job is related to your craftsmanship. The work is not heavy, but it requires some patience. I have seen their job posting. The craft teacher's job is from 9 am to 4 pm, with weekends off. Meals are provided but accommodation is not. The basic monthly salary is 15,000 yuan, and there are various benefits and bonuses at the end of the year."
"……ah!!!"
Ye Ling screamed and suddenly jumped up from the sofa.
"This...this is such a great job, can I really have it?"
Shi Jing raised an eyebrow slightly: "Originally it was not allowed, but if I introduce you to it, then you can definitely go."
"!!!" Ye Ling skipped the formalities and directly clasped her hands in a fist and palm salute to Shi Jing, "From today onwards, you are my dear older sister!"
Shi Jing: "...Huh?"
