"Teacher, I didnāt consider this thoroughly. However, weāve already hired two new employees at the tea house today. Theyāre men and former Supervisor Guards, quite capable and nice people. With them around, the teacherās wife will have a much easier time."
"You should have hired male employees earlier, always hiring young women. Arenāt you worried about their safety?" Liu Guoying scoffed, but his expression visibly softened.
Chiang Xiao listened humbly this time, not daring to talk back.
Liu Guoying glanced at her and then asked, "And this time, why are you taking a three-day leave again?"
Finally able to come back for classes properly, and now sheās asking for leave again!
Chiang Xiao touched her nose and said, "Teacher, if I said Iām going out for field studies and sketching, would you believe me?"
"I donāt believe your nonsense."
Liu Guoying scoffed dismissively.
Feeling a bit guilty, Chiang Xiao giggled awkwardly and was about to find another excuse when Liu Guoying glared at her and said, "Be honest!"
"Well, teacher, Iām going to see Tyrant Meng," Chiang Xiao immediately told the truth, "A few sister-in-laws over there are trying to set him up with someone. Even though he said heās engaged, theyāre not listening, and theyāve even brought the girl to the camp to meet him!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Guoying was instantly enraged.
"Bang!"
He slammed the table and shouted, "What? Thatās outrageous! Are these women bored out of their minds? Go, quickly! Show them!"
Chiang Xiao promptly saluted and then dashed out of his office.
Humph, Gao Wei can wait a couple of days. Right now, for her, sending off her dad is one thing, going to Anbu Town is another, and she doesnāt have time to deal with Gao Wei.
As she was running down the teaching building, someone called out to her from the side.
"Hey! You, there!"
The voice was a bit loud, and Chiang Xiao didnāt immediately recognize who it was but instinctively stopped. When she saw who it was, her face fell, and her heart tensed up.
Ji Yuzhi.
Because she hasnāt been at school much recently, perhaps Ji Yuzhi, being new, also needed time to get familiar with everything, so she hadnāt had time to come find her yet.
This was their first encounter since Ji Yuzhi came to the Art Academy.
Upon seeing it was Ji Yuzhi, Chiang Xiao attempted to move on again.
"Itās me, sis!" Ji Yuzhi had already run up to her, blinked at her with delight, "Chiang Xiao! You havenāt forgotten me, have you?"
Chiang Xiao forced a slight smile.
She discreetly observed Ji Yuzhi and noticed her clothes and jewelry were noticeably better than when they met on the plane.
Her heart sank slightly.
It seems Ji Yuzhi really might be involved with that Bearded Man.
No, it should be Second Master.
And with her looking all happy and charming, could it be that the Second Master treats her well?
"Hello." She greeted lukewarmly, pretending not to know, "But what are you doing at our school?"
Seeing her indifferent attitude, Ji Yuzhi put on a hurt expression.
"Iām part of the Art Academy now too. I work here. Only after I got here did I find out youāre quite the famous figure here. Almost everywhere you go, teachers and students are talking about you, impressive, impressive."
"No big deal." Chiang Xiao said, "I have something else to do, Iām off."
Ji Yuzhi immediately grabbed her, "Hey, whatās the rush? I checked your schedule, you donāt have any classes now."
