Since that incident, Du Jiahe's name has been a taboo subject in the school, and only Qin Xuan can mention it.
Chen Jing's face turned deathly pale. She swallowed the words she was about to say and trembled so badly that she dared not move.
Since Qin Xuan transferred back to her school, she had almost never seen him lose his temper, and thought he wouldn't be like before, but...
By the time she came to her senses, Qin Xuan had already left.
The students in the classroom only then began to discuss it.
"Chen Jing is too arrogant. Who does she think she is? Qin Xuan doesn't even respect the principal."
"This isn't the first time she's been like this; only Qin Xuan can keep her in check."
"If it were me, I would also choose Ye Zhizhou. He's good-looking and doesn't act pretentious."
The murmurs grew louder and louder until Chen Jing couldn't stand it any longer. She stood up and yelled at the people in the classroom, "Enough!"
Although the students stopped discussing it outwardly, they continued talking on their phones in the group chat.
Ye Zhizhou noticed that Qin Xuan's aura was off when it was almost time for school to end in the afternoon.
"Who upset you?"
The reason she noticed Qin Xuan's unusual aura was because he usually took a nap at this time, but today he was constantly scrolling through his phone.
Qin Xuan pursed his thin lips slightly, "It's nothing, the tutoring will continue tonight."
Ye Zhizhou: ...
The big boss remained as indifferent as ever.
In fact, Qin Xuan kept checking his phone because he was constantly refreshing the forum, worried that someone might spread more rumors.
He just felt that it would be too sentimental to talk about such things, so he chose not to say anything. More than that, he wanted Ye Zhizhou to focus on his studies and get into K University.
After dinner, Qin Xuan was about to go upstairs with Ye Zhizhou when Ye Huaibin stopped him.
"Qin Xuan, I want to say a few words to you."
Qin Xuan glanced at Ye Zhizhou, "I'll come back later, you do your questions first."
Ye Zhizhou nodded, though he was curious about what Ye Huaibin and Qin Xuan would say, but refrained from asking.
"I heard from Xiaoqian that Xiaozhou was rumored to be spreading against him at school today. He said you helped him deal with it. Uncle Ye, thank you on Xiaozhou's behalf."
Ye Huaibin was a man of few words and rarely smiled. Ye Zhizhou never told him about school matters; he only heard about them from Ye Qian.
Qin Xuan said calmly, "It's nothing, it's what I should do. Uncle Ye, is there anything else? If not, I'll go upstairs now."
Ye Huaibin: ...
He used to think Ye Qian was too mischievous, but after comparing him to Qin Xuan, he realized Ye Qian was better.
It seems that Huo Qingyan's education level is far inferior to his.
Huo Qingyan, who was far away abroad, sneezed unconsciously.
"Do you know who did it?" Ye Huaibin then asked, which was the reason he had stopped Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan softly uttered two words, "Chen Jing".
Chen Jing? Ye Huaibin felt like he had seen this name somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where he was looking for it.
"You go up first. Don't tell Xiaozhou what we just talked about."
Ye Huaibin did not forget to give Qin Xuan some instructions.
Qin Xuan hummed in agreement and went upstairs. He pushed open the door to the study and saw Ye Zhizhou leaning her elbow against the table, writing test questions. Because she had been doing this for so long, her arm was red.
"Adequate rest is necessary, have you forgotten?"
He reached out and pulled her elbow down, forcibly straightening it.
Ye Zhizhou felt the warmth from her hand, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up. She seemed to be holding herself too tightly; Qin Xuan was right.
"I think I'm pretty good at math, but I'm still a bit weak in chemistry. Can you take a look at my chemistry?"
As she spoke, she handed her workbook to Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan naturally took it and examined it carefully, line by line.
"I've made a lot of progress, and the accuracy rate has reached 95%. K is fine."
He had witnessed Ye Zhizhou's progress step by step; there was no exaggeration involved, and she had indeed put in a lot of effort.
"Thank you so much, Boss Qin! This glass of milk is for you!"
Ye Zhizhou picked up his milk and clinked glasses with him.
Qin Xuan would never normally do such a childish action, but Ye Zhizhou liked it, so he didn't say anything and obediently held up the milk cup.
Downstairs in the living room, Ye Huaibin and Xiao Chen were on the phone.
"Xiao Chen, could you take a look at the Chen Group's recent financial report for me?"
Xiao Chen found it strange. Although the Chen Group had cooperation with the Ye Group, it wasn't a major cooperation, and Ye Huaibin usually wouldn't interfere with such matters.
"Mr. Ye, give me ten minutes, I'll get right on it."
Ten minutes later, Xiao Chen sent the Chen Group's financial report to Ye Huaibin's email address.
While looking at the financial report, Ye Huaibin sent a voice message to Xiao Chen.
"Immediately terminate cooperation with the Chen Group."
Puzzled, Xiao Chen sent a message: "President Ye, if we terminate the cooperation with the Chen Group, we will need to pay a breach of contract fee."
Ye Huaibin scoffed: "I can afford this breach of contract fee. From now on, I won't accept any orders from the Chen Group, not even from its branches."
He wouldn't allow anyone to harm Ye Zhizhou. Chen Jing was the daughter of the Chen Group, and the reason she was so arrogant was because she relied on the Chen Group's background.
If the Chen Group collapses, what will she rely on to do these things?

Because of what happened in the morning, Chen Jing took the afternoon off and went home. After sleeping all afternoon, she got up and called Su Rui.
"I listened to your suggestion to have someone interfere with Ye Zhizhou's studies, and the big director ended up speaking up for her. Su Rui, what kind of terrible ideas do you come up with?"
Su Rui was in a bad mood after being scolded by Chen Jing for no reason, but she suppressed her dissatisfaction when she thought that Chen Jing could help her deal with Ye Zhizhou.
"I told you not to interfere with her studies... I didn't tell you to use this method! And I certainly didn't tell you to post rumors on forums..."
Chen Jing was speechless; it was indeed her own decision to spread the rumors.
"How could Ye Zhizhou possibly know a famous director? This isn't exactly a rumor."
She remained defiant.
Su Rui was speechless. "Is it strange that her father is the richest man in Ning City and knows a famous director? Jingjing, you were never this reckless before."
Only after Su Rui reminded her did she realize what was happening.
It's all because Ye Zhizhou is usually so low-key at school, not at all like the daughter of a billionaire.
"What do we do now? I've completely offended Qin Xuan..."
Su Rui paused for a moment, then said, "Go apologize to Ye Zhizhou. This will not only distract her, but also change Qin Xuan's opinion of you."
Chen Jing bit her lower lip. "Will this work?"
Why should she apologize to Ye Zhizhou?
"If you can't let go of this pride, how will you ever get close to Qin Xuan again?"
Su Rui questioned Chen Jing, asking why Chen Jing couldn't do the same if she could please Ye Zhizhou for Xu Ze's sake.
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Jing decided to listen to Su Rui's suggestion.
She had just hung up the phone and was about to go wash up when her father rushed in.
"It's all because of your spoiled daughter. Now look what's happened! The Ye family would rather break the contract than cooperate with us. The whole company will starve from now on!"
While roaring, Chen's father tried to rush up and hit Chen Jing, but was stopped by Chen's mother.
"Jingjing is just a child, how could she possibly affect the company? Can't you ask her directly before you speak?"
Chen Jing was stunned; she had no idea how serious the matter was.
