Lisa and her friends soon left. Only she and Soobin drove here, so they had two cars, but they could accommodate them. The girls all sat in Lisa’s car, while the boys shared Soobin’s. After that, they headed to a KTV bar.
On the way, Lisa asked Jieun, “Is Soohyun busy today?”
“Yeah,” Jieun said. Because Soohyun was the general manager, he was always occupied by work, especially these days.
“Is he going to meet the people who’re responsible for the promo video?” Lisa asked.
Jieun understood what Lisa meant, and she said, “No, he isn’t.”
That night, they enjoyed themselves. However, because they needed to attend classes tomorrow, they didn’t stay out very late and went home at 11 pm.
Lisa drove Jieun home with her car. When they were alone, Lisa said to Jieun, “I already found out Zhu Yinyin’s dirty secret.”
Hearing that, Jieun got excited and asked in a hurry, “What have you found out?”
Lisa then told Jieun the rough situation, because she hadn’t found out many details yet.
Jieun felt disgusted after knowing that Zhu Yinyin had an affair with her own boss.
“Since she’s already her boss’s mistress, why can’t she leave Soohyun alone? Why would her boss allow her to do that?” Jieun asked with confusion.
“I think that her boss probably doesn’t care about it, or they must be doing it for a certain purpose. I need to talk to Soohyun about it first,” Lisa said.
Lisa wasn’t an impulsive person, and she wouldn’t threaten Zhu Yinyin once she got evidence, because she didn’t know whether Soohyun had realized that there was something wrong with Zhu Yinyin.
If Soohyun was aware of the reason why Zhu Yinyin kept bothering him and still stayed in touch with her, he must have his own plan.
She might ruin Soohyun’s plan if she went to see Zhu Yinyin without his permission.
Jieun nodded and agreed. “Should we meet Soohyun now?”
“Yes, call him right now,” Lisa said.
“Sure,” Jieun said and took out her phone.
When she was about to call Soohyun, Soohyun called her first and she picked it up at once. “Hi, Soohyun, are you free now?”
“Yes, I just walked my client out,” Soohyun said. “How about you? Are you home yet? Do you need me to pick you up?”
He knew that Jieun left with Lisa.
“I’m on my way home. Since you’re free now, can we meet each other right now? Lisa has something to tell you,” Jieun said.
“No problem, where are you now?” Soohyun asked.
“We can meet outside the block where you live,” Lisa said when Jieun turned to look at her for the answer. They had almost reached Jieun’s home now.
Jieun then said to Soohyun on the phone, “We can meet outside my home.”
“No problem,” Soohyun said, then told his secretary to drive him to the block where Jieun lived. Because Soohyun drank tonight, he couldn’t drive himself.
Five minutes later, Lisa and Jieun arrived at the appointed place, and Soohyun came about three minutes later.
Lisa told Jieun to call Soohyun to tell him to get in her car.
Soohyun soon found Lisa’s car and got in it.
“Hi, Miss Lisa, what’s wrong?” Soohyun asked Lisa the second he closed the car door.
“Well, Jieun just told me that there’s a woman named Zhu Yinyin who won’t leave you alone, and I wanted to help Jieun deal with the woman, then I found out about her affair with her boss through amorous photos. It’s abnormal that her boss would allow her to chase another man when she’s his mistress, so I thought there must be something wrong with it. You should be careful,” Lisa said.
Hearing that, Soohyun was shocked. He didn’t expect that Zhu Yinyin would have an affair with her own boss. He felt disgusted afterwards.
“I haven’t found anything wrong with Zhu Yinyin yet, but I do think it’s abnormal that our company suddenly let me be in charge of this ad. It should be Manager Qian’s work, but our director gave the job to me without giving me a persuasive reason,” Soohyun said. “I also have a suspicion that they’re scheming something.”
After all, business was a battlefield. Soohyun was also a manager in their company, and he had many bitter conflicts with Manager Qian. They had often argued with each other in the company before.
Manager Qian was supposed to be responsible for this ad, but the director suddenly gave this job to Soohyun, which made him feel quite strange. However, he failed to find out the truth, so he had to focus on his work.
“I think this project could be very complicated,” Lisa said with a serious face.
“What should we do now? What do they want to do? Will Soohyun be in danger?” Jieun asked with anxiety.“Relax, I can protect myself well, and I’ll find out the truth as soon as possible. You don’t need to worry about me.” Soohyun comforted her at once.
“How can I not be worried? We have no idea what they’re planning to do right now,” Jieun said.
“Soohyun, how’s your relationship with the director, and how’s the Manager Qian’s relationship with him?” Lisa asked.
She thought Manager Qian and the director might be scheming together against Soohyun.
“You know we’re all good actors in business and nobody knows other people’s real thoughts. We seem to get along well with each other at work, but I do have bitter conflicts with Manager Qian,” Soohyun replied.
“If so, we need to investigate it. Soohyun, if you don’t mind, you can tell me the basic information about Manager Qian and the director. I’ll call you once I find out anything about their real relationship. If it has something to do with Zhu Yinyin or her boss, I’ll give the evidence of their affair to you as well,” Lisa said.
Since Soohyun said that he failed to find out the truth within a short time, it meant that it wasn’t easy for him to find out.
However, they must find out the truth as soon as possible in case Soohyun’s enemies trapped him.
“That’ll be much better. Thank you, Miss Lisa!” Soohyun was cheered up, because he could only rely on Lisa to help him.
Since Lisa was able to find out Zhu Yinyin’s dirty secret, it wouldn’t be difficult for her to find out the director’s real relationship with Manager Qian.
After that, Soohyun told Lisa their basic information before Lisa left.
It was an emergency, so Lisa called K when she was driving home, and told him to help her deal with this problem. In order to find out the truth as soon as possible, Lisa briefly told K what had happened.
It was very late at night, and Lisa arrived at Fenghua Luxury Mansion after a dozen minutes.
When she got home, she took a bath and dried her hair before she went to lie down on her bed, but she didn’t sleep right away. She was waiting for the result from K’s investigation.
Normally, K could finish the job she gave him within an hour if she wanted him to help her find out some information, and it would take him less time if the work wasn’t difficult.
After a few minutes, Lisa received K’s call and K sent her an email.
Lisa checked her emails at once, and got what she wanted.
The director indeed…
K found an important document in the director’s email box, and it said that the company made a decision to transfer the director to another affiliated company in another city and Soohyun would replace the director in City F.
Although this director had received this email, the company hadn’t made the announcement yet, so no one else was aware of it.
Something happened later, and the project which should have been Manager Qian’s work suddenly fell into Soohyun’s hands. Besides, the director frequently contacted Manager Qian and Zhu Yinyin these days.
Even though Lisa still didn’t know the specific reason why the director did it, she had enough evidence to figure out the truth.
It was obvious that the director had an agreement with Manager Qian to cause Soohyun trouble at this time so that Soohyun wouldn’t be smoothly promoted. In that case, Manager Qian could replace him.
Without delay, Lisa called Soohyun.
Soohyun couldn’t sleep after knowing that it could be a scheme behind his back. Therefore, when Lisa called him, he picked it up right away.
“Hi, Miss Lisa, have you found anything?” he asked in a hurry.
“Yeah, and it turns out to be a scheme, which isn’t a surprise,” Lisa said. “Your director just received an email saying that he’ll be transferred to another city and you will replace him, but the official announcement won’t be made until a few days later, so the director is working with Manager Qian to cause you trouble. They don’t want you to become the director.”
“What?” Soohyun was greatly surprised. He couldn’t believe that the director refused to tell him this news and even worked with Manager Qian against him behind his back.
“Give me your email account, and I’ll send what I’ve found out to you. If you still need my help in the following days, feel free to let me know,” Lisa said.
She was going to leave it to Soohyun, but she was still willing to help him if he needed her help.
Since Soohyun could become the director of a very famous company at such an young age, he had the ability to handle a crisis well.
Lisa had K’s help, so she was able to find out the document before Soohyun.
Lisa believed that Soohyun could handle it without her in the following days.“Thank you so much, Miss Lisa.” Soohyun thanked Lisa with sincerity.
“My pleasure,” Lisa said. She was willing to help Soohyun for the sake of Jieun.
Soohyun understood it too.
After hanging up the call with Soohyun, Lisa received his message and she sent what she had found to his email box.
Although Lisa already told Soohyun what she had found out, Soohyun was still mad when he read the email.
Since he was aware of their purpose right now, he absolutely wouldn’t allow them to fulfill it. He wanted a promotion with a higher salary, but he had never thought to get it by dirty means.
The official announcement hadn’t been made yet, but he had to be well-prepared in case they successfully trapped him.
After that, Soohyun called Jieun.
At this time, Jieun was in her apartment thinking about what was happening to Soohyun.
She knew that Lisa could help Soohyun, but she was still worried about him.
Her phone was in her hand all the time, so she was able to pick up Soohyun’s call the second he called her. When she heard about the scheme, she was furious at those who schemed against Soohyun behind his back.
Because the official announcement about his promotion hadn’t been made yet, Soohyun didn’t tell Jieun that he could be the new director in their company.
…
The next day, Lisa got up early to go run.
Even though Lisa was improving her martial arts, she still needed to keep exercising.
Many kinds of monsters and ghosts had appeared in her life these days, and Lisa didn’t know what she would encounter in the future. In that case, she had to better herself in order to protect herself from danger.
After running in the morning, Lisa got back to her home and took a bath. She then put on her school uniform and left for her school.
Lisa hadn’t worn her school uniform for a long time, and she almost forgot that she was still a high school student.
She was going to meet Tao Jiayi at 9 am, so she would leave for her school at 8 am that morning.
Lisa drove her car to her school, because she needed it later.
Although many teachers had a car in their school, Lisa thought that it wasn’t appropriate to often borrow a car from her teacher. Besides, nobody was willing to lend his or her car to another person, unless it was absolutely necessary.
Lisa finished her breakfast on her way to the school.
Their school didn’t allow random cars to enter it, so students had to park their cars in the nearby parking lot if they drove themselves to school. Therefore, Lisa left her car in the nearby parking lot before she walked into her school.
However, once she showed up, many students recognized her.
“Jesus, isn’t that Gu Lisa?”
“Yes!”
“She finally came to school!”
“I’m so excited to see her.”
“She’s the famous Goddess Lisa.”
“I’m a big fan of hers!”
“…”
They kept complimenting Lisa and even took photos of her.
Lisa, on the other hand, didn’t pay much attention to them and walked ahead alone.
Coincidentally, Mingyu wasn’t far away from her and was with his friends, Fu Mingliang and Zhang Yiming. He heard the noise and turned to look at Lisa.
The moment Mingyu saw Lisa, he was struck dumb. He was afraid to meet Lisa’s eyes, so he pulled Zhang Yiming and Fu Mingliang while walking away.
Lisa actually noticed them, but didn’t think that it was a big deal.
Eunha had been severely punished, but Mingyu hadn’t, but she didn’t care about it right now because she was too busy recently.
Mingyu kept a distance away from her anyway, so she didn’t bother to waste time on him.
…
After they walked far away, Zhang Yiming said, “Change is the only constant, and the wheel of fortune turns. She became a billionaire within just half a year! It’s so unbelievable.”
“Yeah, I hope she won’t pay us back for bullying her before,” Fu Mingliang said in fear.
They had hated and bullied Lisa before, but it was undeniable that they were scared of her and admired her right now.
“I don’t think she’ll pay us back, because she could have done it a long time ago if she really wanted to do so,” Zhang Yiming said.
Mingyu had mixed emotions of fear and regret right now.
Mingyu regretted hurting Lisa so badly before, because Lisa became very successful now. If she wanted to get revenge, it couldn’t be easier. If he hadn’t hurt Lisa like that before, he probably could have become rich too. Although he didn’t know whether Lisa would have abandoned him. However, nothing could be changed now.
Besides, the old Lisa really wasn’t attractive, so it was hard for him to stay with her.
Therefore, Mingyu stopped thinking too much about it. The more he thought about it, the worse he felt.
…
Lisa was surrounded by compliments and admiration along her way to her classroom, she was like a superstar in their school.
In fact, although Lisa wasn’t a star, she was even more popular than a star. She was an excellent student and had saved many people’s lives. Moreover, she became a successful businesswoman at an early age and now owned many profitable companies.
No matter what trouble she had encountered before, she was able to handle it well and step steadily towards success.
When some students wanted to take photos with Lisa, a female voice interrupted them.
“No way, Lisa, you’re too noticeable to be ignored!”
It was Yeji’s voice, and Lisa couldn’t be more familiar with it.
Other people didn’t recognize Yeji’s voice, but they saw her and immediately moved away to let her pass.
Yeji hadn’t caused trouble recently, but she was notorious for her bad temper, so nobody wanted to mess with her.
Yeji understood that Lisa didn’t mean to attract much attention, but it was unavoidable. Lisa was too noticeable to be ignored right now, so she was always the focus of people’s attention.
Lisa smiled and said, “I can’t do anything about it.”
“Hey, why did they all move away once you showed up?” Lisa asked Yeji.
“Come on, there isn’t anyone who hasn’t heard of my name in this school,” Yeji said looking proud. She didn’t feel ashamed of it at all.
Lisa was amused, but said nothing. She knew that Yeji wasn’t actually a rude girl, nor a bully. And even though Yeji often fought with other students, she had a strong sense of justice.
When Lisa and Yeji walked away, several students came and they were greatly surprised by the scene.
“Gu Lisa is a legendary figure of our school now!”
“Isn’t she? The principal talks about her every day.”
“Ha-ha, ha-ha.”
“…”
The teachers also had a good impression of Lisa.
Under people’s attention, Lisa and Yeji walked into the teaching building together.
Because it wasn’t time for the morning reading class yet, many students were chatting with each other in the passage. When they heard noises under the building, they ran to see what was happening.
The second they saw Lisa, they got excited.
“Look, it’s Gu Lisa! She’s back!”
“Oh my, Goddess Gu is here!”
“I’m a big fan of hers!”
“…”
“Our boss is too influential,” Soobin said, shaking his head.
“It’s because she’s too unbelievable,” Beomgyu said.
“I’m so proud of our boss,” Yeonjun said.
“Me too!”
“Me too!”
Soobin and Beomgyu agreed in an instant.
Although they knew that Lisa had many friends and they probably weren’t very important in her eyes, they were real friends. Lisa also treated them with sincerity, so they felt honored.
It was true that Lisa regarded them as her real friends, and she wouldn’t hesitate to help them if they needed her help.
Even if they couldn’t become as successful as her in the future, she was willing to support them and help them live a good life. It wasn’t easy to find real friends in a person’s entire life, so Lisa cherished them.
Lisa and Yeji separated on the third floor. Most of the students stood at the door of the classroom and stared at Lisa with excitement.
“Come on, let’s go into the classroom now.” Lisa smiled at them.
Her classmates moved aside at once to let her walk inside, then they followed her.
Wu Qingya and Yang Yulu, however, turned their heads away because they didn’t dare to meet Lisa’s eyes. Without Aisha’s support, neither Wu Qingya nor Yang Yulu dared to act against Lisa now.
After the morning reading class, Zhang Qiuhua went back to her office. She picked up Tao Jiayi’s injury report and she was ready to go to Tao Jiayi’s school.
Lisa already had an agreement with Zhang Qiuhua, and she was going to help Zhang Qiuhua with it.
The principal allowed them to leave halfway through class because of Lisa’s influence.
Lisa then said to Chaeryeong, “Chaeryeong, I need to deal with something, and I won’t come back for the afternoon classes, but I’ll dine with you at noon.”
“What? Why?” Chaeryeong was surprised.
Lisa just came for the morning reading class, and now she was leaving again.
Anyway, since Lisa needed to deal with something in person, Chaeryeong knew that it had to be important.
Afterwards, Lisa left with the other students staring at her back. Without delay, she went to Zhang Qiuhua’s office.
In the office, Wang Chengqi and Jiang Yuan were there too, and their eyes lit up when Lisa appeared.
“Good morning, Professor Wang and Professor Jiang.” Lisa politely greeted them.
“Good morning, Gu Lisa!” Wang Chengqi and Jiang Yuan smiled at her.
Zhang Qiuhua quickly packed her stuff up and then they left together.
Once Lisa and Zhang Qiuhua were gone, Wang Chengqi and Jiang Yuan began to talk about them. Both of them wished that Lisa was their student.
…
When Zhang Qiuhua and Lisa walked out together, many students turned to look at them, but none of the students dared to greet them.
However, although they didn’t dare to greet Zhang Qiuhua and Lisa, they talked about them once they walked away.
“Hey, I just saw Gu Lisa walking out with Professor Zhang. Does anyone know what they’re going to do?”
“Really? Where did they go?”
“No idea.”
“They must be leaving to deal with something together.”
“Yeah, it must be something important.”
“Do you know what they’re going to deal with?”
“No idea.”
“…”
Chaeryeong didn’t know that Lisa left with their head teacher until then, but she didn’t know the reason either. However, no matter what happened, Chaeryeong believed that Lisa was able to handle it well.
…
Zhang Qiuhua and Lisa went to the nearby parking lot, and they went straight to Tao Jiayi’s school.
When Lisa and Zhang Qiuhua set off, it was already 8:05 am. About 20 minutes later, they finally arrived at the No.2 Middle School.
Lisa parked her car before she walked in with Zhang Qiuhua.
It was time for class, and outsiders weren’t allowed to go inside, but Zhang Qiuhua was the parent of a student who studied there, so she was permitted to enter the school.
Zhang Qiuhua called Tao Jiayi’s head teacher, whose surname was Yan, afterwards.
Ms. Yan had told Zhang Qiuhua to call her once they arrived, so Zhang Qiuhua did it without hesitation.
Ms. Yan then told them to meet her at the Office of Student Affairs.
At 8:40 am, Lisa and Zhang Qiuhua arrived at the Office of Student Affairs. The dean, Ms. Yan, and a man around 30 years old were in the office. The man was Mr. Wang, who was the head teacher of the girl who had bullied Tao Jiayi.
However, the girl’s parents hadn’t shown up yet.
The dean was a slightly fat man in his early fifties who didn’t look like a snobbish person.
Before Lisa and Zhang Qiuhua came, Ms. Yan told the dean that Lisa had a good relationship with the director of the Central Hospital and that she believed that Lisa’s family was very powerful.
Accordingly, when Lisa and Zhang Qiuhua came, the dean had to be kind to them. “Nice to see you, Professor Zhang and Miss Lisa.”
“Nice to see you too, Mr. Yang,” Zhang Qiuhua said and sat down, followed by Lisa.
Mr. Yang was the dean of this middle school.
Ms. Yan poured two cups of tea for Lisa and Zhang Qiuhua when they seated themselves. Something which if they were ordinary people, Ms. Yan wouldn’t bother to do.“I’ve already learned what has happened, but we still need to wait for the girl’s parents to deal with this problem,” Mr. Yang said.
Mr. Yang wasn’t a bad person, nor was he a good man, because he would definitely side himself with power if he had the choice, but he would become fair when one was not more powerful than the other.
It was understandable given that people were selfish. Nobody wanted to act against power.
It was the cruel fact of this society that ordinary people had no advantage before powerful people.
“Sure.” Zhang Qiuhua nodded. She knew that she needed to talk about this with the girl’s parents.
During this time, Mr. Yang kept glancing at Lisa with curiosity. He felt that Lisa looked familiar, but couldn’t remember where he had seen her face before.
In fact, Lisa was the most popular person in City F now, and many TV channels were broadcasting news about her, so it wasn’t strange that Mr. Yang felt that she looked familiar.
Lisa noticed Mr. Yang’s movement, but she said nothing.
After observing for a while, Mr. Yang couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Lisa, may I know your full name and what do you do now? No offense, I just feel that you look very familiar.”
Hearing that, Lisa understood why he always glanced at her.
She smiled and said, “My name’s Gu Lisa, and I’m a senior student in the No.3 High School. Professor Zhang is my head teacher.”
“Gu Lisa?” Mr. Yang got excited in an instant. “Were you the champion in the national math competition this year?”
It was a big piece of news when Lisa won the first prize in City F, and the whole city felt proud of her.
When Mr. Yang went to have a meeting at the Education Bureau, his leader also talked about it. In addition, his leader talked about many other things concerning Lisa too. They all knew that Lisa was now a successful businesswoman.
Lisa had attended the birthday party held by the Su family as well, and she was a friend of many important officials of City F. Most importantly, Lisa had saved Miss Su’s life, so she was the Su family’s life-saver.
Because the head of the Education Bureau had shown up at the party too, he knew it very well.
Although Mr. Yang hadn’t heard much about Lisa, he had a deep impression of her.
Ms. Yan and Mr. Wang were greatly surprised when they found out that Lisa was the girl who had won the first prize of the national math competition. However, Ms. Yan and Mr. Wang weren’t aware of what else Lisa had achieved.
“Yeah, it’s me,” Lisa said.
With Lisa’s affirmative answer, Mr. Yang abruptly stood up.
He walked towards Lisa and said, “Miss Lisa, I’m so sorry that I didn’t recognize you just then. I’ve heard a lot about you; you’re really unbelievable.”
Mr. Yang showed great respect, because he understood that Lisa was an important figure.
Ms. Yan and Mr. Wang, however, was shocked. It was obvious that Lisa wasn’t an ordinary girl given Mr. Yang’s attitude towards her. Nevertheless, even though they were curious, it wasn’t a good time to ask about it.
Lisa stood up too. “Thank you so much for your compliment.”
“Miss Lisa, please have a seat.” Mr. Yang told Lisa to seat herself when he saw her stand up.
Lisa listened to him and sat down. After that, they chatted with each other for a while till 9 am.
Although the appointed time was 9 am, the girl’s father didn’t show up until it was only two minutes away from 9 am.
The girl’s father wasn’t late, but he looked very impolite and arrogant. He was a middle-aged man who was in his early forties.
When he walked inside, Mr. Yang stood up to greet him. “Chairman Xiao, nice to see you again. Please have a seat.”
Mr. Yang was polite to Chairman Xiao, but his attitude towards him was still obviously different from that towards Lisa.
In Ms. Yan’s and Mr. Wang’s eyes, it meant that Lisa was more important than Chairman Xiao.
Chairman Xiao’s full name was Xiao Mingshan. He was the chairman of a large company with over a hundred million yuan in assets.
There weren’t many people with a fortune in City F, and Xiao Mingshan’s older uncle was a senior official in the government. Therefore, if Lisa was from an ordinary family, Mr. Yang would side with Xiao Mingshan without doubt.
However, he didn’t dare to do that right now after knowing about Lisa’s influence. In addition, it was Xiao Mingshan’s daughter’s fault this time.
“Hi, nice to see you again.” Xiao Mingshan greeted Mr. Yang, but he didn’t sit down right away. Instead, he turned to look at Lisa and Zhang Qiuhua.
Mr. Wang had called him yesterday and he was curious to know who dared to seek justice for Tao Jiayi.
Xiao Mingshan was an influential figure in City F, but there were still a lot of people who were more important than him, so he came in person in case he offended someone he shouldn’t mess with.He was the same type of person as Mr. Yang, who yielded in front of those who were more powerful than him.
If Lisa was more powerful than him, he would apologize and pay the compensation. However, if Tao Jiayi didn’t have powerful support, he would simply send his secretary to deal with this problem.
In fact, Xiao Mingshan was annoyed at his daughter’s inappropriate behavior and he also warned his daughter not to bully other students again.
Surprisingly, when Xiao Mingshan’s sight fell on Lisa, he looked shocked. “M-Miss Lisa?”
It was obvious that he knew Lisa.
Lisa stood up and stared at Xiao Mingshan. “Hi, Chairman Xiao.”
It turned out that Lisa and Chairman Xiao had met each other before at the birthday party held by the Su family before.
“Miss Lisa, what a surprise!” Xiao Mingshan said.
He was very polite towards Lisa because Lisa had much more powerful connections than him.
Ms. Yan and Mr. Wang were amazed by Xiao Mingshan’s attitude towards Lisa. They were even more curious to find out Lisa’s family background now.
“I’m afraid it isn’t a pleasant meeting this time,” Lisa said.
Hearing that, Xiao Mingshan felt embarrassed. He understood that Lisa came here to support Tao Jiayi today, while his daughter had bullied Tao Jiayi.
Since Lisa came here in person, he had to apologize to them. “I’m so sorry for what my daughter did to Tao Jiayi. Miss Lisa and Tao Jiayi’s mother, please accept my sincere apologies. We won’t abdicate the responsibility, and I’ll tell my daughter to apologize to Tao Jiayi face to face.”
Xiao Mingshan took it very seriously, and he promised that it wouldn’t happen again.
Mr. Yang wasn’t surprised by Xiao Mingshan’s attitude because he knew how influential Lisa was. Ms. Yan and Mr. Wang, however, were greatly surprised.
Although they already had a feeling that Lisa wasn’t an ordinary girl, they thought that Xiao Mingshan apologized too fast and without arguing at all.
Even Zhang Qiuhua who knew that Lisa could handle it well was surprised.
Xiao Mingshan’s daughter was Xiao Beibei, and she was scared of her father. Even though she was unwilling to apologize to Tao Jiayi, she didn’t dare to behave against her father.
Zhang Qiuhua stood up at this time. “Chairman Xiao, since you’re willing to apologize and pay the compensation, I don’t think we still need to argue about it, but I still hope that you can have a look at my daughter’s injury report. I’m afraid that what your daughter has done to my daughter might leave a scar in my daughter’s heart.”
Xiao Mingshan had heard of Tao Jiayi’s injuries from Mr. Wang, but he still took the injury report out of politeness.
He definitely did that for Lisa’s sake.
When Xiao Mingshan read the report, he was displeased again, because the injuries were all caused by his daughter. As for the medical fee, it was nothing in Xiao Mingshan’s eyes.
“Mrs. Tao, can I visit your daughter someday?” Xiao Mingshan asked Zhang Qiuhua. He thought that it would be better if he visited Tao Jiayi in person.
“Sure, my daughter is recovering at home now,” Zhang Qiuhua said.
In that case, this problem was perfectly solved without causing any more trouble or argument, so it wasn’t necessary for Lisa to play the surveillance camera K gave her.
They said good-bye to Mr. Yang later and left together.
Once they were gone, Ms. Yan asked Mr. Yang with curiosity, “Is the girl very influential? Why is Chairman Xiao afraid of her?”
“Gu Lisa is much more influential than you can imagine…” Mr. Yang then told them what he knew about Lisa.
“Jesus, she’s so unbelievable!”
“I don’t know what to say right now.”
…
Xiao Mingshan’s car was parked outside the school, so they walked out together. They soon arrived at the parking lot, and drove towards Zhang Qiuhua’s home.
On the way, Xiao Mingshan told Xiao Beibei to be polite and kind to Tao Jiayi when she apologized to her.
Xiao Beibei pouted with annoyance, but she had to listen to her father.
Lisa, at the same time, told Zhang Qiuhua to inform Tao Jiayi with a call.
After taking the pill Lisa gave her, Tao Jiayi was much better now, but she still needed to pretend to be injured and lie in her bed when Xiao Beibei and Xiao Mingshan came.
It was because of Lisa’s magical pills that Tao Jiayi could recover now, so it was understandable that Lisa told her to act a little right now.
If Xiao Mingshan saw Tao Jiayi well and fine after only a day, he would think that they were lying to him.
Tao Jiayi’s father was on a business trip yesterday, but he came back today and stayed home with Tao Jiayi. Therefore, Tao Jiayi told her father that they would have several guests. Lisa and Xiao Mingshan stopped their cars under the building where Zhang Qiuhua’s family lived.
When Xiao Mingshan got out of his car, he opened the trunk and took out many boxes of expensive gifts.
Mr. Wang had told him that Tao Jiayi had powerful support behind her, so he had prepared many gifts to show his sincerity. It proved that he did the right thing.
Xiao Mingshan wasn’t dumb, and he knew what he should do to get himself an advantage.
“Chairman Xiao, you didn’t need to do that.” Zhang Qiuhua was surprised the second she saw the gifts in Xiao Mingshan’s hands. She didn’t know when Xiao Mingshan had prepared so many gifts in his car, but soon figured it out.
It must have been Mr. Wang who had told him to be well-prepared. Xiao Mingshan was a successful businessman after all.
“Mrs. Tao, it’s nothing,” Xiao Mingshan said with a smile.
Zhang Qiuhua then said nothing.
After that, she guided Lisa, Xiao Mingshan, and Xiao Beibei to her home.
Tao Jiayi’s father welcomed them once they showed up. Zhang Qiuhua already told her husband that Xiao Mingshan was very kind and polite, so her husband didn’t seem mad.
Although Xiao Mingshan behaved politely because of Lisa, Zhang Qiuhua was still satisfied with his attitude.
After they were all seated, Xiao Mingshan apologized to Tao Jiayi’s father again. Without delay, he brought Xiao Beibei to apologize to Tao Jiayi in Tao Jiayi’s room.
Because Xiao Beibei had bullied Tao Jiayi, Tao Jiayi looked scared when she saw Xiao Beibei. However, Xiao Beibei didn’t dare to bully her again from now on.
At the beginning, Xiao Beibei hesitated to apologize to Tao Jiayi, but Xiao Mingshan gave her a warning look, which scared her. “I’m sorry, Tao Jiayi. I shouldn’t have bullied you, and it’s my fault. Could you please forgive me this time?” she said.
Xiao Mingshan taught Xiao Beibei to say that in case Xiao Beibei didn’t know how to apologize.
Although Xiao Beibei sounded reluctant, nobody paid much attention to it.
“Sure,” Tao Jiayi said.
Afterwards, Xiao Mingshan took out an envelope and gave it to Tao Jiayi’s father. “Mr. Tao, there is thirty thousand yuan inside, which is Jiayi’s medical fee and mental damage compensation. I also put my name card in it. If you need my help, please feel free to contact me.”
Thirty thousand yuan was a lot, and it was more than enough to pay Tao Jiayi’s medical fee. Tao Jiayi had a slight concussion, but it wasn’t a serious problem. As for the mental damage compensation, ten thousand yuan was actually enough.
Xiao Mingshan gave them thirty thousand yuan for the sake of Lisa.
Nevertheless, nobody was aware that Lisa’s magical pills were much more expensive. A single magical pill cost at least a million yuan!
Lisa gave Tao Jiayi a magical pill for free, because she knew that Tao Jiayi’s family couldn’t afford it.
“Thanks.” Tao Jiayi’s father took the envelope, because his family needed it.
Xiao Mingshan was a busy businessman, so he didn’t stay in Tao Jiayi’s home for long. After paying the fee, he left with Xiao Beibei.
Lisa and Zhang Qiuhua also went back to their school.
Before Lisa left, Tao Jiayi’s father repeatedly thanked her. If it hadn’t been for Lisa, this problem wouldn’t have been solved so smoothly.
Because it went smoothly, it didn’t take Lisa and Zhang Qiuhua very long. When they got back to their school, all the students were in the middle of the third class.
Lisa was unwilling to interrupt her teacher and classmates, so she went to have a rest in Zhang Qiuhua’s office.
Only Lisa dared to do that, because other students all stayed far away from their head teachers.
Lisa went back to the classroom once the third class was over.
The moment Lisa showed up in the classroom, her classmates turned to ask her with concern.
“Hey, Gu Lisa, we saw you walking out with our head teacher. What did you leave to do?”
“Why did you leave together with our head teacher?”
Lisa understood that they cared about her, so she explained. “We left to deal with something together, but it’s already done.”
She didn’t bother to tell them details, and the other students didn’t ask further either.
No matter what it was, it was done now.
Even though Lisa didn’t want to talk about her relationship with their head teacher, her classmates refused to leave, and they surrounded Lisa to compliment her.
As Lisa’s desk-mate, Chaeryeong almost went crazy. Lisa also felt a little annoyed, but she knew that her classmates were kind people, so she said nothing about it.
Luckily, the next class soon began and they left at once.
“Lili, my eardrums almost broke!” Chaeryeong complained.
Lisa felt embarrassed and touched her nose. “Sorry, I’ll tell them not to do that again.”
She couldn’t tolerate it either.
The National College Entrance Examination was around the corner now, so they all focused on their studies once the class began. Although Lisa was the top one student in her grade, she hadn’t had classes for a long time, so she also needed to review for the exam. Lisa had an unbelievable memory, but it would only give her a big advantage after she read her textbooks.
Zhang Qiuhua knew that Lisa was an excellent student, but she was worried about Lisa’s studies too, given that Lisa had been absent from classes for such a long time.
Accordingly, she kept asking Lisa to answer her questions during the class.
To her surprise, Lisa could alway give her perfect answers.
Lisa’s classmates were impressed too. Even though Lisa was as outstanding as usual, none of her classmates was jealous of her. Instead, they all admired her.
After the class, Lisa and Chaeryeong left the classroom and went to meet Taehyun and Yeji. They gathered together with their friends and left for the canteen.
When other students saw them along the way, they were envious of their close relationship with Lisa.
“Oh, Lili, my family is going to move into a new apartment after the National College Entrance Examination, so my mother told me to invite you all to share a meal together at my new home,” Chaeryeong said to Lisa.
Apartments in Jiahua Garden were available on the market now, but it took time for the decoration and furnishing.
Although Jinhee had finished the furnishing and decoration for Chaeryeong’s family, it still needed another three months to air the apartment. Therefore, they couldn’t move in until June.
“Sure!” Lisa said.
“How about your relatives? Have they caused your family more trouble these days?” Lisa asked Chaeryeong.
“Nope, they’re very quiet,” Chaeryeong said.
“Glad to know that!” Lisa smiled. Chaeryeong’s relatives were a heavy burden on her family.
“Don’t worry. If they dare to cause your family trouble again, we can help you and teach them an unforgettable lesson,” Taehyun said.
“Exactly!” Soobin and the others agreed.
On their way to the canteen, Lisa and her friends heard many students talking about her.
“Isn’t she Gu Lisa? I’ve heard a lot about her, but I can’t believe it. I don’t think she’s able to be so successful at such an early age without playing some dirty tricks.”
It was a girl who was bad-mouthing Lisa. She was impressed by Lisa in some aspects, but she refused to believe the other things achieved by Lisa.
It was not only Lisa who heard it, but also Yeji and the others, and they were mad at once. They were very familiar with Lisa’s personality, and they knew that Lisa was an independent and strong girl.
The girl was scared by Yeji’s angry look and closed her mouth, but she still believed what she chose to believe.
“It’s fine.” Lisa stopped her friends from arguing with the girl.
“Is she an idiot or something?” Beomgyu said in anger.
Actually, Lisa indeed had something other people didn’t have to help her succeed. It was the telepathic eye space, which was Lisa’s secret.
However, the girl obviously attacked Lisa because she thought that Lisa had sold her body for money or fame.
“How could someone be so dumb in today’s society? If anyone doesn’t know how to behave themselves, we can teach them if they need a lesson,” Taehyun said loudly so that everyone around them was able to hear him.
He meant to let other students know that Lisa had their support and that Lisa wasn’t weak at all now.
Other students around them agreed with him.
No matter what Lisa had done to gain her success today, she had become successful as she wanted.
The girl who had bad-mouthed Lisa behind Lisa’s back felt frightened and quickly walked away. She probably wasn’t clear about Lisa’s family background, but Lisa’s friends couldn’t be clearer about it now.
Lisa was Master Tang’s biological granddaughter and her boyfriend was the famous Lord Jeon in the capital. Nobody in this country wanted to mess with her.
A few minutes later, Lisa and her friends arrived at the canteen.
…
At the same time in City B.
Jiang Ze planned to see Zhao Fulin personally, but he thought that Zhao Fulin wouldn’t be willing to see him, and he didn’t want Zhang Yanni to know about it.
Therefore, Jiang Ze made an excuse and refused to dine with Zhang Yanni that afternoon before he asked one of his acquaintances to call Zhao Fulin to go out and meet in the woods.
The acquaintance didn’t know what had happened between Zhao Fulin and Jiang Ze, so he agreed.
Since he called Zhao Fulin to talk about something with her, Zhao Fulin didn’t think further and agreed to see him. However, when she walked to the appointed place and saw Jiang Ze, she realized what was happening and turned around to leave without hesitation.
Jiang Ze ran to stop her at once.
“Move!” Zhao Fulin sounded very cold.
“Fulin, could you please listen to me?” Jiang Ze said in a hurry.“Why? I already told you that there is nothing to talk about between us. Please stay away from me,” Zhang Yanni coldly said. When she wanted to walk away from Jiang Ze, Jiang Ze stopped her again. “Fulin, you’re my real love but Zhang Yanni kept bad-mouthing you behind your back. I believed her words back then, so I had a bad impression of you.”
“I later found out that she was lying to me on purpose. You’re totally not the kind of person she described. Can you give me another chance?”
Jiang Ze said that to Zhao Fulin because he wasn’t afraid that Zhao Fulin might tell Zhang Yanni.
If Zhao Fulin believed him and accepted him again, it wouldn’t matter even if Zhang Yanni found out. If Zhao Fulin still refused to accept him, he would deny what he had said to her.
Jiang Ze was really a selfish man.
Zhao Fulin was surprised when Jiang Ze told her that. She knew that there was a secret relationship between Zhang Yanni and Jiang Ze, but she didn’t know why Zhang Yanni had betrayed her.
To her astonishment, Zhang Yanni had criticized her like that in front of Jiang Ze.
However, given what Jiang Ze had done to her before, she wasn’t sure whether she should trust him right now.
No matter what, it was meaningless in her eyes because she already gave them up.
“Jiang Ze, I don’t care whether it’s true or not, because it’s meaningless in my eyes now. I won’t tell Zhang Yanni anything about our conversation. You didn’t seize the chance to be my boyfriend and so be it,” Zhang Yanni said and continued to walk ahead.
“Fulin, do you have to be so cold-blooded?” Jiang Ze seemed hurt and stopped Zhao Fulin once more. He felt sad, not because Zhao Fulin refused to accept him, but because he might lose a lot if Zhao Fulin didn’t give him another chance. In his eyes, Zhao Fulin’s family wealth could be his one day if he could marry Zhao Fulin.
Unfortunately, he lost this great chance to become rich and successful because of Zhang Yanni.
Even though he blamed Zhang Yanni for everything, he didn’t dare to argue with her right now.
Jiang Ze was simply a freeloader.
“I’m cold-blooded? How could you say that? We’re merely schoolmates from the beginning to the end,” Zhao Fulin said. “Jiang Ze, if you keep insulting me, I’ll call the police.”
Hearing that, Jiang Ze was scared and let Zhao Fulin walk away without stopping her again.
Zhao Fulin rolled her eyes at him and left at once.
Jiang Ze was reluctant to give up, but he could do nothing about it right now.
…
In City F, Lisa and her friends walked together to the woods after lunch to cool themselves down because of the hot weather.
During these days, Lisa went to school like every other student and she sometimes talked with Jungkook on the phone.
Jungkook was very busy recently, so he didn’t have much time to contact Lisa.
The National College Entrance Examination was about four days later.
All of a sudden, Lisa received Li Maosong’s call on her way to the canteen.
“Hi, Uncle Li,” Lisa said.
“M-Miss Lisa, help, help!” Li Maosong sounded terrified on the phone.
“What happened?” Lisa got anxious.
“I’m in Xiaoli Village, a small village in County X, City G right now, and there is a large cave. We encountered a python in it and Guo Yiyang was bitten by it. Jiangquan and I have successfully escaped, but Guo Yiyang and Sun Chao are still missing. I don’t know whether they’re still alive, so I have to turn to you for help…” Saying that, Li Maosong almost cried.
It seemed to be an emergency.
Guo Yiyang and Sun Chao were his close brothers, and he was worried about their safety.
Lisa was able to kill a zombie, so it couldn’t be difficult for her to deal with a python, so Li Maosong called Lisa as soon as possible.
“I’ll be right there, but I’m in City F now. I can’t take a plane, because it’s too slow, so I’ll drive myself. I think I can arrive at City G in about two hours,” Lisa said.
She was willing to help them out. Li Maosong and the other men had risked their lives with her before, so she couldn’t abandon them when they were in danger.
Even though the National College Entrance Examination was only a few days away, she believed that she could handle it well.
It only took an hour to get to City G from City F by plane, but she wasn’t sure whether she could get the earliest plane ticket right away. Even if she could, she had to spend at least half an hour on the way to the airport. And she would probably have to spend more time waiting for the earliest flight.
Anyway, she would rather drive a car on her own.
