Although the events at the broadcasting building tonight ended with Hang Dongxu resigning from her position as editor-in-chief of the school newspaper, her reputation has been affected to some extent.
Although not many people heard what those idiots said on stage, those who did hear it were people who were close to the stage and had some influence.
Several people immediately changed their gaze towards her. Although Hang Dongxu had said he would help her clear her name, she still couldn't swallow her anger.
She tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead; many people secretly mocked her, shattering the goddess image she had carefully cultivated.
As the culprit, Xie Li naturally made her grit her teeth in hatred.
But after waiting for a long time, she didn't hear Xie Li's voice asking for help. Instead, Xie Li stared at her head and looked at her.
Then he handed over what he was carrying, saying, "This is my homemade hair growth serum, a gift for you."
Jiang Baili: "..."
Her expression almost froze as she glared at Xie Li through gritted teeth, "No need!"
Xie Li: "...Oh, never mind then."
Jiang Baili is, after all, a cousin of the Xie family. Perhaps her family is developing more effective products for her, such as pills that promote hair growth? That would be much more convenient than what she has.
She has to apply hair growth serum after washing her hair every day, which is very troublesome, time-consuming and laborious.
"Wait!" Jiang Baili called out to her again as she was about to turn and leave. "Don't you have anything else to say to me?"
She looked at the glass bottle Xie Li was holding, which was half-filled with a milky white liquid.
Is she trying to curry favor with her and make demands based on these things? Does Xie Li think she's stupid?
Xie Li looked blankly at him: "No."
Jiang Baili was somewhat incredulous, "Today's math problems..."
Xie Li: "Oh, it's done."
So he wasn't here to please her, but to fool her?
Suddenly, Jiang Baili remembered the shampoo Chen Lian had bought, and her expression changed slightly. "You..."
She tried to maintain a calm expression. "You believe what those people said? But I don't know anything about what Hang Dongxu did. I'm just an acquaintance of his."
After all that, she finally realized that Xie Li was either deliberately trying to humiliate her or trying to extort money from her.
Xie Li: "???"
"Ah, you mean that?" Xie Li realized what was going on. She thought it was normal and hadn't even considered the possibility that it was Jiang Baili.
“Those boys are all cowards, they dare to do things but not to take responsibility, so they just make wild accusations and drag others down with them. You can’t take what they say seriously.”
Jiang Baili carefully observed the expression on her face, unsure whether she believed it or not.
Smiling, she extended her hand and said, "Okay, thank you."
After Xie Li left, she casually threw the half-empty bottle of hair growth serum into the trash can.
——
Xie Li was very happy with the impressive results.
The next day was Saturday, and she didn't have to go to school, so she made a special trip to the same Chinese medicine shop she had visited before to buy medicinal herbs.
This time, the shop assistant dared not be disrespectful in the slightest and hurriedly asked the shop manager to serve her.
The shop manager's gaze fell on Xie Li's head, his expression one of disbelief: "Is this... real hair?"
Others might not have noticed it as clearly as he did, but he didn't take Xie Li's thoughts seriously at the time and had carefully observed Xie Li's hair.
In just a few days, Xie Li's hair has grown a lot, with the longest part almost reaching his earlobes.
Could it be that the hair growth tonic she concocted really has miraculous effects? But back then, Pharmacist Chen offered to personally instruct Xie Li, which Xie Li refused...
His inherent caution led him to instinctively make a call to Pharmacist Chen.
