Chapter 120: Chapter 119: The Unattainable Gods and Goddesses Are All Changying’s Loyal Subjects
Cui Jinghan could not be bothered to scroll through the entire chat history. Glancing over the recent messages, he gathered that their sixth junior brother had just gotten a girlfriend, which had incited public outrage among the group. Aside from calligraphy, he had never been interested in much else anyway.
[Senior Brother]: [Red Packet]
[The Only One]: Brother Cui is so generous! When I get married, I’ll definitely reserve the seat of honor for you!
"Our sixth junior brother is going to be throwing his weight around us from now on," Yan Sinian sighed. However, his expression quickly turned cheerful. "Miss Shi, I hope we have a pleasant cooperation."
Shi Changying asked, "How much is she paying you?"
Yan Sinian did some mental math. "Five thousand an hour?"
Shi Changying began to consider a possibility. "Tell me, if I bury you right now, does that mean we won’t have to split the money fifty-fifty?" she asked.
"Miss Shi, please don’t!" Yan Sinian exclaimed in terror. "From this moment on, we’re of one mind! Isn’t it better to make money together? How about a forty-sixty split?"
Shi Changying was very satisfied with him catching on so quickly. "Then you just need to stay here for two hours today. Remember to give me my six thousand tomorrow."
Yan Sinian watched speechlessly as she pulled out a junior high math workbook. Not wanting to disturb her studies, he put on his earphones and started watching a show.
Shi Changying heard the audio bleeding from his earphones. "You watch A Yuan’s shows too?"
Yan Sinian paused in surprise. "You heard that?"
He had just bought these earphones and the sound was leaking already. He would definitely have to go argue with the seller.
Shi Changying thought for a moment, dug a signed photo out of her backpack, and handed it to her business partner.
Yan Sinian found it utterly unbelievable.
When Xu Zhao Yu paid top dollar to hire him, she had been full of apologies and guilt. She had claimed that Shi Changying came from a small, backwater town, had an eccentric personality, and begged him to be patient with her. Having heard such remarks multiple times, he finally sensed that something was amiss.
"Miss Shi, could you tell me who exactly you are?" Yan Sinian asked humbly. "That music score you have belongs to Xie Lin, you have Lu Qingyuan’s signed photo, and you..."
Shi Changying did not even look up. "Don’t ask questions you shouldn’t ask. You might lose your life."
Yan Sinian felt as though an Emperor were sitting right in front of him. He obediently shut his mouth and went back to his show.
At eleven o’clock, he leisurely picked up his bag and left the Xu villa. Shortly after, he received a phone call from Xu Zhao Yu.
"Miss Xu, sigh. To be completely honest, Miss Shi is indeed rather difficult to teach," Yan Sinian said with a heavy sigh. "I’m afraid I won’t be able to tutor her."
This was exactly the outcome Xu Zhao Yu wanted. She smiled genuinely. "Master Yan, it really has been hard on you. As long as you can continue to teach her, you don’t need to worry about the money."
"With your word on it, Miss Xu, I am reassured." Yan Sinian’s tone was meaningful. "You’ve worked so hard for this family and spent so much money. I actually feel quite bad about it."
The moment the call ended, he received the bank transfer from Xu Zhao Yu. Yan Sinian kept his promise and immediately sent Shi Changying her six thousand.
Having earned several thousand and completed over a dozen pages of math problems in just two hours, Shi Changying concluded that she was a born master of time management.
More importantly, she had learned something new today. And what she learned, she put to use. Without hesitation, she changed the name of their class group chat to: "Class 17 of Senior Year’s Fifty-Six Dogs."
[Vice Class Monitor]: ???
[Song Qingmu]: Senior Sister, why fifty-six dogs? We are proper, dignified human beings!
[Only I am the first]: Because we are all single dogs.
[Study Commissary]: Senior Sister, that’s too far. We are just classmates. Why would you hurt me like this?
[Lu Mi]: I didn’t teach her this! I absolutely didn’t! I swear on my life, if I taught her this, let my instant noodles never come with seasoning packets!
[President]: Hmm, it even rhymes.
[Lu Mi]: ...
She was going to cry. She really hadn’t taught her that! Who in the world was corrupting their Yingying?!
Shi Changying was very pleased with the new group name. After washing up, she drifted off to sleep.
The night ended, the sun rose, and a new day began.
Over the following days, Yan Sinian arrived punctually at the Xu villa every day, leaving exactly two hours later.
Shi Changying’s WhatsApp wallet balance reached five figures. Feeling generous, she treated her entire class to a meal.
While Song Qingmu was deeply moved, he was also quite terrified. "Senior Sister, you didn’t rob a bank, did you?"
"Bah, you treacherous official, what nonsense are you spouting?" Lu Mi glared at Song Qingmu. "Our Yingying is so smart. Could she really not earn money on her own?"
Shi Changying absolutely loved being praised. She happily placed a large chicken drumstick into Lu Mi’s bowl.
"Sigh, tomorrow is the monthly exam. Being able to eat such a huge feast before I die makes it all worth it." The vice class monitor sighed heavily. "I don’t have high standards. As long as my total score breaks 550, I’ll be completely satisfied."
The classmates all looked gloomy, except for Shi Changying. She held great expectations for the upcoming monthly exam. Her anticipation was no less than what she felt before stepping onto the battlefield.
The monthly exam lasted for three days, from Friday to Sunday. The first subject was Chinese literature, which was the only subject Shi Changying was remotely good at. This time, she answered every single question. For the ones she did not know, she relied on Lu Mi’s ultimate guessing technique to select an answer.
The only thing she gave up on was the essay. Let alone eight hundred words, even two hundred words would have killed her.
However, the biggest blow to Shi Changying came during the foreign language exam on Saturday afternoon. She felt that giving her a single article with over a dozen blanks to fill was simply a cruel joke.
She walked out of the examination room expressionless, only to bump into an equally defeated-looking Meng Qi’an. Both of them had been assigned to the final examination room, sitting directly in front of and behind one another.
"Senior Sister!" Meng Qi’an beamed with joy. "Did you also feel that the questions for this monthly exam were completely anti-human?"
He rejoiced, "It’s so great to have some company!"
Shi Changying glanced at him. "Wrong. It’s not that the paper is hard; it’s that I’m not strong enough."
She would continue to study hard and charge toward the throne of the grade’s first place.
Meng Qi’an fell silent. He began to ponder how he could possibly pass so his mother would not send him to the Southern Region to mine coal.
Meanwhile, at the temporary encampment of the Medical Science Academy’s inspection team.
Ning Liuyu was hand-drawing medicinal herbs on paper. Her drawing skills were exceptionally high, allowing her to replicate the herbs in a perfect one-to-one ratio.
"Miss Ning, the Xu family has invited the inspection team for a meal tomorrow," her assistant walked over and asked. "What time frame do you think is suitable? Everything will be arranged according to your wishes."
"Tomorrow?" Ning Liuyu pondered for a moment before shaking her head. "I already have plans, so I won’t be going. You all can go ahead."
"You have plans?" The assistant was somewhat surprised. "You know someone here in Jianghuai?"
Ning Liuyu smiled. "Yes, I do."
The assistant grew worried. "Will it compromise your safety? The other day you almost..."
"It won’t," Ning Liuyu answered with absolute certainty. "Rest assured, even if the agents from A17, CSC, and the Ninth Department all came at me together, they still couldn’t kill me."
The assistant was speechless. That thought was utterly terrifying.
"Understood, Miss Ning," the assistant said. "The Xu family doesn’t know you’re here anyway. Since you have an appointment, your plans take priority. We’ll handle the dinner arrangement."
Ning Liuyu nodded. Having finished drawing the first illustration, she tucked it away into a folder. After some thought, she placed several bottles of her newly developed medicine into her bag. The medicine had a sweet flavor; it was not bitter at all.
Once she had prepared her thank-you gift for Shi Changying, Ning Liuyu asked Qi Sha to book a highly secure private restaurant for her.
The following afternoon, Shi Changying received a new message after finishing her biology and chemistry exams. It finally revived her mind and body, which had been thoroughly ravaged by the tests.
[Ning Yu]: Miss Shi, I’ve already arrived. What do you like to eat? I’ll order the dishes first.
[Ning Yu]: [Image]
[Only I am the first]: I’ll be right there.
