"Brother, I'm fine. I was just studying. You called about this? Qin Xuan has already taken care of it for me."
Ye Qian had expected to hear his sister's sad voice, but instead found her to be very calm. He thought that Ye Zhizhou's mental fortitude was good enough for her to debut as an actress.
"That's good. I was just worried about you. Now you can continue studying."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Zhizhou returned to his seat to continue studying. There were less than five days left until the exam.
Inside the office, the principal's face was full of smiles. Ye Huaibin's assistant, Xiao Chen, had personally brought the contract to the school to invest in the project. How could he not be happy?
"President Ye said that installing cameras at the school is specifically for our young lady, to prevent anyone from taking advantage of her when she's not looking. Of course, the school's profits will also be taken every year."
Xiao Chen looked serious, with the project plan spread out on the table. It included not only camera installation but also campus landscaping, but camera installation was the top priority.
Upon hearing about the commission, the principal felt a pang of distress. Although the school's annual net profit was substantial, a large portion of it went to the teachers. After all, it was an elite school, and the teachers' salaries couldn't be reduced.
"Could the commission be reduced further? Two percent is too much; the school will be unable to make ends meet."
Xiao Chen ruthlessly rejected him, saying, "If you can't even accept this much, then I don't plan to continue investing in the Ye Group next year."
The principal looked worried; it seemed playing the victim wouldn't work. He quickly agreed, "I accept, I accept."
The Ye Group's annual investment in the school is not a small amount. If the Ye Group withdraws its investment, the school will face great financial difficulties. After weighing the options, he chose to agree.
Xiao Chen walked out of the principal's office and called Ye Huaibin to tell him that the project had been finalized. Ye Huaibin praised Xiao Chen and told him that he would get a bonus this month.

"What's going on? Why have all these posts been deleted!"
Chen Jing watched as all of Ye Zhizhou's posts disappeared completely. On one hand, she found it unbelievable, and on the other hand, she hated Ye Zhizhou even more.
"Jing-jie, just calm down. Ye Zhizhou is a top student and comes from a good family. Why do you have to make things difficult for her?"
Li Nian was holding a mineral water bottle, about to unscrew it and drink, when she saw Chen Jing's anxiety and offered a few words of advice.
Chen Jing glared at her, "She's the one who's messing with me. What right does she have to steal Qin Xuan from me, and even steal the person my best friend likes!"
She snatched the bottled water from Li Nian's hand. Li Nian was angry but too embarrassed to say anything, so she went to buy another bottle.
As she left the classroom, she brushed past Qin Xuan. She glanced back at Qin Xuan with a sharp eye and noticed that he seemed to be heading towards Chen Jing.
Without hesitation, she went straight to buy bottled water, but luckily Chen Jing snatched it away from her.
"I refuse to believe it can't be sent!"
Sitting in her seat, Chen Jing was using her phone to register a new forum account and was editing the content to post again when she suddenly noticed a shadow appearing above her head.
She looked up and saw Qin Xuan!
"Qin Xuan, what brings you here?" Upon seeing Qin Xuan, her tone instantly softened, and she stood up to meet his gaze.
She was much shorter than Qin Xuan and could only look up at him.
Qin Xuan coldly snatched the phone from her hand. "Why did you do that?"
Chen Jing was startled by his hawk-like gaze and stammered, "I...I'm just jealous of her, jealous that she can be your deskmate."
Qin Xuan sneered and threw her phone on the table. "Jealousy won't help. You're no match for her. If there's a next time, I won't hesitate to let you experience what Du Jiahe felt back then!"
