May 9th.

For those who dream of becoming teachers, today is a scorching day.

The weather today is indeed exceptionally hot.

A long line formed at the entrance of the education examination center.

People dressed in their most formal attire, waiting for the upcoming interviews.

The blazing sun overhead made their already anxious hearts feel even more uncomfortable, and even breathing became extremely difficult.

Not far from the entrance, there was a cold store. With Jiang Che's strong interpersonal skills, he quickly became acquainted with the burly owner, who looked like a butcher in his apron.

The owner said they could leave their things there for as long as they wanted.

But Jiang Che insisted on paying 20 yuan.

Watching the two of them carry the boxes out, the owner chuckled to himself, "This kid is something."

"20 yuan, that's all my pocket money, Jiang Che, you rascal, you won't let me eat, you make me pay, and you make me carry boxes! Is this what you call meaningful work, making me your beast of burden?"

Chen Yunsong complained non-stop as he followed Jiang Che with a large box, "And can we even sell this? It's so hot, what if we spend the money, get sunburned, don't get to eat, and can't sell anything!"

Jiang Che had already gotten used to tuning out this one's grumbling. As they approached the examination center entrance, Jiang Che signaled to Chen Yunsong, "You set it up here."

"Me? What about you?" Chen Yunsong asked, puzzled.

"I'm going to do the marketing!" Jiang Che grinned, taking a cup from the box.

People were already drenched in sweat, nearly suffering from heatstroke. Most of them were girls, some almost fainting from the heat, parched and unable to hold on, yet unable to leave after queuing for so long. Leaving now would mean all the previous suffering was for nothing.

And just then.

People's attention was caught by a slurping sound.

Following the sound, they saw a handsome young man holding a drink, watching them, making loud sipping noises that made everyone swallow involuntarily.

The clean-cut, handsome boy smiled and waved at them when he noticed their gaze.

Someone couldn't help but ask, "Hey, is that tea with milk?"

Jiang Che replied, "Yes, it's iced tea with milk, really refreshing."

"Where did you get it?"

"Over there." Jiang Che pointed to Chen Yunsong standing under a tree not far away.

"How much per cup?"

"Little brother, I'll give you money, can you get a cup for me? Thank you!"

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawℝead.com ].

"Brother..."

The queue was mostly young women, many of whom had just graduated from college, already unbearably thirsty. Hearing it was tea with milk, they couldn't resist.

"Eight yuan a cup, if you want to buy, I'll call him over." Jiang Che took another heavy sip, chewing on the pearls as he spoke.

Eight yuan wasn't expensive.

When the right thing appears in the right place at the right time, its value can no longer be measured by its price.

"I'll buy!"

"Please call him over!"

"Thank you..."

...

"Three hundred and ninety-two yuan! In less than half an hour, Little Che, you're a genius!"

Chen Yunsong's complaints vanished, and on the way back to school, he couldn't stop grinning as he held the money they earned. He handed it to Jiang Che without any reluctance, as he never considered any of it his own. His joy was purely for Jiang Che.

Jiang Che took out a hundred yuan and gave it to him.

He instinctively wanted to refuse, but Jiang Che stuffed it into his pocket without a word, "This isn't for free. You'll have to help me sell for the next few days. This is your pay."

"This, this is too much..."

Chen Yunsong's smile was so wide it almost reached the back of his head.

And he didn't even know how much work that 100 yuan would entail later on.

With more than ten days left before the teacher qualification exam, selling 50 cups a day wouldn't make much money. They would definitely need to increase sales.

With more sales, the workload would naturally double.

Seeing his friend so happy, Jiang Che suddenly felt a pang of guilt, as if he were a modern-day Scrooge. He patted his friend's shoulder, "Keep it up! When we make money, I'll find you a wife!"

Chen Yunsong's smile gradually froze. He scratched his head, feeling something was odd about that statement but couldn't figure out what...

"Jiang Che, did you take notes on the key mistakes from the papers the teachers went over these days?" Gu Dafei asked Jiang Che.

"I did."

In my head... Jiang Che replied.

"Do you understand most of it?" Gu Dafei asked.

"Yeah." Jiang Che nodded.

"Great! Su Rongyin got injured, so you take these papers to her and go over the key mistakes the teachers highlighted. It'll be a good review for you too."

Gu Dafei took out Su Rongyin's papers and motioned for Jiang Che to come and get them.

Explaining problems to someone else is also a form of learning, deepening one's understanding of mistakes. Besides, Jiang Che and Su Rongyin were inseparable, so it wouldn't be a waste of time.

"Huh?"

Jiang Che immediately shook his head like a rattle, "I'm not going, no time."

The classroom erupted in surprise.

The boys envied Jiang Che for having this opportunity, and Qin Xiaolong almost clenched his fists to the point of breaking. He didn't expect Jiang Che to refuse!

Qin Xiaolong immediately raised his hand, "Teacher Gu, I can go!"

Gu Dafei, surprised by Jiang Che's refusal, glanced at Qin Xiaolong, a bit speechless. When did Su Rongyin ever pay attention to you? Why would you go? Besides, do you even know which way Su Rongyin's front door opens?

None of the girls in the class were particularly close to Su Rongyin, and no one knew where she lived.

Ignoring Qin Xiaolong, Gu Dafei placed Su Rongyin's papers directly on Jiang Che's desk, "No time or not, you have to go! You were the one smoking in the bathroom this morning, right? The principal was squatting next to you, and you even offered him a cigarette... I haven't even addressed that yet!"

"The principal didn't say anything, why are you bringing it up..."

Jiang Che muttered, sighed, and took the papers.

Delivering papers and explaining problems was a hassle.

But if Chen Feirong found out about smoking with the principal...

That would be even more troublesome...

The school bell rang.

Under Qin Xiaolong's envious gaze, Jiang Che rode his electric bike towards Su Rongyin's house.

He planned to drop off the papers and leave.

As for explaining the problems to Su Rongyin...

Forget it.

He'd rather go home and take a nap.

Soon, Jiang Che arrived in front of a small villa on his electric bike.

Su Rongyin's family was quite well-off.

Naturally, only someone raised delicately could develop the slightly haughty personality of a princess like Su Rongyin.

Princess...

Jiang Che instinctively described Su Rongyin this way.

Because in the trajectory of his past life, for a very long time...

Jiang Che treated Su Rongyin like a princess...

"Ding dong!"

"Ding dong!"

Jiang Che rang the doorbell, and soon Su Rongyin's voice came through the intercom, "Is that Jiang Che? Wait a moment, I'll open the door."

"No need, you sprained your ankle, better not move." Jiang Che said.

"You actually care about me..." Su Rongyin's tone was slightly reproachful.

"I'll leave the papers at the door, weigh them down with a brick so they don't blow away, and won't come in. Wish you a speedy recovery." Jiang Che continued.

"You!" Su Rongyin almost burst into tears, "Teacher Gu said you were going to explain the problems to me! You promised, why aren't you doing it? I'm calling Teacher Gu right now!"

"..."

Darn you, Old Gu, you even called Su Rongyin... Jiang Che was speechless, unable to leave, leaving poor Chen Yunsong to handle the market purchases alone.

Before long.

With a click, the door opened.

Su Rongyin, in pink bear pajamas and pink slippers, appeared before Jiang Che. Her hair was casually tied up, with a few strands hanging down, adding a touch of cuteness compared to usual. Her pretty face still carried a hint of her usual haughty demeanor. Her injured foot was bandaged, her calf slightly bent, suspended in the air.

"Let's do it in the living room. I have something to do later, so let's make it quick!"
