Chapter Forty-Three: Organizational Decisions

  Yang Bingbing's persistence was very unexpected for Su Yifan, but he could understand Yang Bingbing.

  Just like that day when no one was willing to speak up for themselves, Yang Bingbing would stand up and speak for Su Yifan. It's not surprising that in a similar situation, she would also stand up for someone else who suffered an injustice.

  "I have great respect for Teacher Wang." Su Yifan replied cautiously, "I'll try my best, but this isn't something I can control."

  Yang Bingbing nodded maturely: "I know, I now believe that this matter has nothing to do with you."

  "Thanks," Su Yifan said, "I was worried that you would expose me when I hid things in your bag that day."

  Yang Bing's voice softened: "What Chen Xin did to you, we all know in our hearts. So that day when you took action against him, I wasn't surprised and didn't object."

  Pausing for a moment, Yang Bingbing stared at Su Yifan and said: "And even if you really didn't hide the weapon here, they still can't do anything to you, right?"

  This is a fact and Su Yifan cannot refute it.

  "So you think of a way." Yang Bingbing smiled and pushed the question back to Su Yifan, "Teacher Wang is sometimes poisonous with her mouth, but I think this time's lesson for her is enough."

  Su Yifan realized that Yang Bingbing actually used a very calm tone to comment on the teachers in school, this calmness transcended her age.

  Thinking of her usual gentle image when talking to people, Su Yifan felt that he had only truly recognized this girl now.

  Yang Bingbing and Su Yifan finished talking, waved goodbye and returned to the classroom. Su Yifan walked a few more steps along the track before calling Su Xiaqing.

  "Something's up?" Su Xiaoqing was surprised, as Su Yifan never called himself during school hours.

  Su Yifan recounted what had just happened with Yang Bingbing coming to find him, and Su Xiaqing on the other side couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  "I thought it was a big deal, but it's nothing. I'll help you solve it. Yang Bingbing is right, leave some room for maneuver when dealing with people, and someone like Wang Qin just needs to be intimidated a little."

  "Isn't this going to be too troublesome?" Su Yifan was completely considering the issue from his own sister's perspective.

  "It's no trouble, just wait for my message."

  "Okay..." At this time, Su Yifan could only agree.

  ………

  ………

  After the second class in the afternoon, Wang Qin went to the classroom with a look of shock and a hint of fear.

  Right after the first class at noon, the serious and rarely smiling principal called Wang Qin over, gave her a few words of encouragement, and then added her name back to the list for the excellent teacher evaluation.

  Originally because of Su Yifan's affair, Wang Qin had no idea about excellent teachers and was in a low mood. When she heard the news, she was so surprised that she even forgot to thank the instructor.

  "Teacher Wang, your previous attitude was too impulsive, we had no choice either... The attitude towards students determines the teaching reputation of our school. Now, after careful consideration by the organization, it has been decided that you are still one of the excellent teachers, don't disappoint the organization's expectations."

  Wang Qin understood the implied meaning behind Director of Studies' words, which was still reminding her not to offend Su Yifan. Thinking about that student who had always been silent and never spoke up having such a strong wrist, Wang Qin couldn't help but start regretting her previous attitude towards him.

  It's too late for regrets now, Wang Qin can only try to make herself appear calmer, while warning herself not to provoke Su Yifan with language again.

  So Su Yifan finally got a few days of peace and quiet. This was the most leisurely period for him since the start of school this year, except for insisting on exercising every day, most of the time Su Yifan had finally restored his usual routine as an ordinary otaku. Attending classes, playing games, and occasionally going out to have a cup of coffee with Cheng Shuijin.

  Since taking Zhang Yao to Beach's place for dinner, Su Yifan would linger around the school entrance every noon, waiting for Zhang Yao to come out and then take her to Beach's car.

  Zhang Yao didn't show too much resistance to this matter, and every time she followed Su Yifan with a red face. It seems that in the whole school now, Zhang Yao trusts Su Yifan the most.

  Beach's craftsmanship, although Su Yifan can't feel it, is still astonishing in cooking skills. Each time with a different flavor and style, the selection and scrutiny of ingredients make Su Yifan understand that even as a foodie, one needs a lot of professional literacy.

  Ever since singing for Su Yifan that time, Zhang Yao didn't say a word to him for an entire week. Occasionally when the two communicated, it was through text messages on their phones.

  As a result, there are often such strange scenes where everyone is sitting at the same table eating, but Zhang Yao and Su Yifan still secretly send text messages. Biqi expressed great dissatisfaction with this situation.

  Su Xiaoqing found out about this and teased Su Yifan at dinner that night: "Failed to conquer Cheng Shuiyan, but the relationship with the little beauty is quite good, huh?"

  Su Yifan scratched his head in embarrassment: "No, I just think Zhang Yao is quite pitiful."

  Su Xiaoqing surprisingly knew some things about Zhang Yao, and sighed: "It's quite pitiful, if you can help her then help her."

  Su Yifan glanced at his sister, wanting to speak but hesitating.

  "What did you want to say?" Su Xiaoqing asked.

  "I'm still thinking about how I can help you," Su Yifan said. "I think Qingshuang, you're really all-powerful, while I seem like a useless person."

  "What's the hurry?" Su Xiaoqing smiled happily, "Then I'll give you a company to manage?"

  Su Yifan almost choked on a mouthful of food.

  "Qing jie, don't tease me, okay?"

  "What's so funny?" Su Xiaqing helped the young man pat his back and catch his breath, "I'm serious, if you're interested, I'll give you a company to play with, and in the future, you can help me."

  Su Yifan is now also considered to be strong enough after being trained by Su Xiaqing, and after coughing a few times, he said: "Sister Qing, don't say that, I'll get scared."

  Su Xiaoqing smiled and didn't say anything else.

  Su Yifan looked at Su Xiaqing, who seemed to be in a state of indifference, and suddenly asked with a sense of emotion: "Qing Jie, do you remember that man when we went to listen to Professor Fang's lecture?"

  "I don't really remember," Su Xiao shook her head, "I just recall someone helping me mock him."

  Su Yifan smiled awkwardly: "Qing Jie, let me tell you my guess, see if it's correct or not."

  "Oh? You said." Su Xiaoqing felt quite surprised and sat up straight, leaning in to listen.

  Su Yifan tidied up his language and said, "Qing Jie, although you say you're a goddess or something... actually I don't quite believe it either. I think you might own a very powerful company."

  "This isn't a difficult detail to guess," Su Xiaqing nodded in agreement: "Yes, that's right."

  Su Yifan saw that his guess was correct, and suddenly had more courage than before, continuing to say: "Then... um, then I think there are definitely not many people like Chu Hong and Jin Shenfeng, but they shouldn't be the most troublesome ones."

  "What's the most troublesome thing?"

  "The most troublesome ones are always those who want to defeat and swallow you." Su Yifan concluded with a sentence from Professor Fang's previous lecture, "In my opinion, Qing Jie, you must have a great advantage in some field, many people want to defeat you."

  Su Xiaqing narrowed her eyes, she had a deeper understanding of the problem depicted by Su Yifan.

  "What's next?"

  "So actually, your life isn't that easy, Little Sister." Su Yifan said sincerely to Su Xiaoqing, "Although I don't quite understand how much pressure there is, I can feel it."

  Su Xiao lightly lowered her eyes: "Thank you."

  "This should be what I say?" Su Yifan lowered his head, "You've done too much for me, I really don't know how to express my gratitude."

  "Actually, I've thought about it sometimes." Su Xiaoqing quickly returned to normal and said lightly, "If you can grow into an astonishing existence that can help me attract a lot of attention, my pressure will be reduced. However, it's not the right time yet, let's go to the company together before making any decisions."

  Su Yifan counted on her fingers: "There's still more than a month left."

  "It doesn't matter, now you should focus on your own problems first." Su Xiaoqing continued to tease Su Yifan with the previous topic, "Zhang Yao is really a good choice for you, huh?"

  "There's nothing... we're just friends." Su Yifan turned his head in embarrassment, "Actually, Zhang Yao has a secret that makes me feel a bit sentimental."

  "What's your impression?"

  "Everyone's inner world is rich and vast." Su Yifan sighed, "I never thought that Zhang Yao would be so formidable."

  "Let me guess." Su Xiao closed her eyes with a pretentious air, and after a while, she opened them again. "Is Zhang Yao very good at singing?"

  “……”

  This time Su Yifan was shocked. Many things in school that Su Xiaqing wanted to know were not difficult, but Zhang Yao's secret belonged to the core level, how did she know?

  "Are you surprised?" Su Xiaoqing asked, "I'm not all-knowing, I just happened to know a little."

  Su Yifan was stunned for a moment before he regained his composure and asked in return: "Qing Jie, how did you know..."

  This question is basically equivalent to admitting that Su Xiaqing's words are true.

  Su Xiaoqing didn't immediately answer Su Yifan's question, instead helping him analyze: "If Zhang Yao is willing to share such a secret with you, doesn't that mean she already considers you her best friend?"

  Before Su Yifan could speak, Su Xiaqing continued: "You don't have to be too surprised. I've heard Zhang Yao's song online, and although it's impossible to identify just by listening to the sound, I've studied tracing IP addresses and analyzing sound waveforms."

  “……”

  Su Yifan shocked again.

  "This is the gossip psychology that all women have." Su Xiaoqing smiled indifferently, "Don't worry, I'll help your good friend keep secrets, you don't know how popular she is?"

  "......I see now." Su Yifan said with a bitter smile, "Indeed, there are no secrets that can be kept from you."

  Su Xiaoqing smiled and said: "Don't say that, I only care a little because it's related to you."

  "I don't know what's going on with Zhang Yao either." Su Yifan recalled the bits and pieces of his acquaintance with this quiet girl, "I always felt that her family conditions were not very good, but if she was so popular, wouldn't she use that to make money?"

  "Zhang Yao actually has the potential to be a star." Su Xiaoqing looked at Su Yifan and said, "Personality determines fate, she is this kind of personality, if no one pushes her hard, it's likely that many years won't change. How about you, do you want to be the one who pushes Zhang Yao?"

  Su Yifan was taken aback, he didn't expect the topic to end up here.

  "Qing Jie, don't joke around..."

  "I'm not joking." Su Xiaoqing smiled as she looked at the young man in front of her, continuing to ask, "Why don't you give it a try? Just think of it as playing a game like 'Idolmaster', aren't construction games your favorite?"

  Seeing so many people say "I grew up reading your books" and so on, I suddenly feel a sense of sadness...
