Chapter 78: Working together

Start from the beginning
                                    

Knowing that the Big bad Wolf was able to create something like that made her a lot impressed. She had thought that he was only good in the business aspect and didn't expect that he would also be good at technology.

She sent the team a message to decline just as Jimin entered the class. "I thought you would be long gone. How was your exam?" he said as he plopped down beside her.

"There's some tests that the school arranged for me and Hanbin for the upcoming competition."

"Competition? Would you guys be awarded money?" he asked eagerly, making Lalisa look up from the phone to look at him.

"I have no idea, I only accepted because it was the condition for me skipping evening classes." she said with a shrug, however, she closed the page she was on and went to search for the competition online.

"There's money to be won but I doubt the chance to enter the competition is still possible." she told him as she passed her phone to him. Jimin looked through all the details and sighed. "I had no idea something like this existed, I would have joined." he said dejectedly, and Lalisa squinted her eyes at him.

"Do you need money?" she had expected that he would need money and she was even planning to have them work together, however, she also needed to know if it was something urgent.

"Well, I want my sisters to enrol in proper schools and maybe eventually move out from where we stay, but for now, what I earn can only cover feeding and that bit of accommodation." he explained and Lalisa nodded in understanding.

"I was hoping we could work together actually, that is if you don't mind of course." she added the last part hurriedly so that he didn't misunderstand her intentions.

"Are you serious? What kind of work?" Jimin sat up urgently. From being friends with her, he already had an idea of how impressive this girl was and his feelings had quickly moved from being grateful, to being infatuated, to understanding that she was just that person that he could admire from afar.

He would never have imagined that she would consider him worthy of working together.

"The other day, you said something about your sister being good at making herbal medicine right.?" Lalisa started and only continued when he nodded his head positively.

She then explained the idea that she had about starting a traditional medicine brand. With what she had in mind, the both of them could come together, with the two sisters being more active, all they had to do was guard all the recipes preciously and Lalisa had the intention of getting a manager who would be someone she trusted.

"What do you think?" She brought herself to ask when she was done speaking and Jimin had yet to make a sound.

"Errr.." Jimin started and then scratched his hair, embarrassed.

"Are you going to talk or not?" Lalisa asked as she shot him a glare.

"It's a good plan. I just don't think it's going to be feasible at this stage that we are, if we were to start now... it would be the stage that needs a lot of money, but you know that not only do I not have money to do what I need to, I don't have to spare into investing into this." Jimin finally managed to say.

Lalisa burst out laughing.

"Who's asking you for your money? If you think it's a good plan then arrange a meeting with your siblings and let them meet my mother, if the both sides think they can work together, then I'll start looking at the other things needed." she said conclusively and Jimin, who wanted to reply, kept quiet as students started to enter the classroom.

Everyone entered with a cheery mood as everyone started to throw textbooks that they didn't need anymore. Jimin stood up and picked one of the thrown textbooks with an intention to keep and give to his sisters.

"Leave it, you are too smart to not make money." she chided as she pulled him back before the rowdy classmates could see, however, Rosè, who had just entered the class and was coming directly towards the both of them saw this scene and felt her heart dampen instantly.

"Even if we don't work together on this, we would work with something else. Besides, I have met your sisters and I would like to believe that they would have no problem working together." Lalisa assured him.

Before she could say more, Hanbin came to call her for the test.

Since they didn't have any hand in the entrance exams, all the teachers that taught the senior classes had some free time on hand and were all gathered in the staff room as soon as the both of them arrived.

"We have all brought out questions from topics that are usually in the preliminaries of the competition. As long as you get a good ranking on the preliminaries, that is already good enough." one of the teachers said as he walked forward with some small stack of papers.

"Only the preliminaries?" Hanbin asked in confusion, clearly not aware that their school had given up on fighting for the winning seat and just wanted to do better than the schools in this province.

"Do you think you can do any better than the preliminaries?" a teacher asked and then covered her mouth to hide her sniggers.

Hanbin fists clenched slightly and teacher Lu came forward.

"That's not important, the important thing now is taking this test and allowing us to understand how prepared you both are."
