Chapter 163: Just a Defeated Opponent
Upon arriving at his office, she realized that Feng Junhao was also there.
Feng Junhao wasn’t surprised to see Jiang Yu. He even made some space for her.
Zhao Jiande had brought Jiang Yu to Kong Tang. Then, Kong Tang revealed, “I called you here because of the parent-teacher conference that’s going to be held soon.
“Here’s the thing. Every time A High hosts a parent-teacher conference, they will invite students with excellent grades to give a speech on that day. Then, the speech will be broadcasted on the teaching screens of each classroom to share their learning experience with the parents.”
“This is a tradition that A High has had over the years. This time, you and Junhao will give the speech. “In order for the speech to be smooth and natural, you will need to prepare your speech in advance. If I have no objections after reading it, then you can finalize the speech.”
“Then, whether you want to read the speech or memorize it, I’ll leave that up to you because Grade 12 is very demanding. We won’t force you.”
Jiang Yu nodded to show that she understood.
Kong Tang continued, “At the same time, I may need your help during the parent-teacher conference. There won’t be too much work and it won’t be too demanding. When I have more details, I’ll let you know. Do you have any questions for now? Please feel free to ask.”
Jiang Yu asked, “May I ask if it’s only the top two in the monthly exam that needs to give a speech?”
Kong Tang replied, “Only the top three students will have the opportunity to give a speech. As for the third-place rank, it’s Jiang Wan. She took a long leave of absence but we don’t have a way to postpone the conference.”
“I understand.”
She didn’t know there was such a detail in the book. If she knew, she wouldn’t have taken first place.
How troublesome.
Since Kong Tang had already brought it up and Jiang Yu had no reason to reject it, she agreed and confirmed the time of submission before leaving with Feng Junhao.
After leaving the office, the two of them walked together for a while, but they did not say a word to each other.
Jiang Yu was heading in a different direction from Feng Junhao. When the two of them were about to part, Feng Junhao suddenly said, “Congratulations.”
Jiang Yu replied, “Thank you.”
Feng Junhao already knew that Jiang Yu was stingy with her words.
However, her unchanging attitude made him feel a little more at ease.
Feng Junhao’s heart relaxed a little. “I thought you would mock me. After all, I didn’t have a good attitude the last time we met at the Feng family home.”
He had originally thought that if Jiang Yu didn’t mind, it meant that she knew when to advance and when to retreat. She didn’t push her luck just because of one exam.
In that case, perhaps he could soften his stance first.
Then, he heard Jiang Yu say nonchalantly, “You’re just a defeated opponent. What’s there to mock?”
Feng Junhao: “…”
As expected, he was wrong. This Miss Jiang was still as arrogant and rude as ever!
Did she even know who she was talking to?
Feng Junhao wanted to suppress his anger and not argue with Jiang Yu.
However, no one had ever talked to him so rudely before. He tried to hold it in but eventually, he couldn’t anymore and burst out saying, “It’s just one test. It’s nothing.”
Jiang Yu thought for a moment and agreed, “That’s true. It’s just one test. That’s enough. I’ll let you have the rest.”
What she thought was that this troublesome matter was enough.
It was fine because she didn’t know before this but now that she knew, there was no need for her to continue torturing herself.
She didn’t have the time. In the future, Feng Junhao and Jiang Wan could happily compete with each other on this matter. She just needed to get results which are not too drastically different.
To Feng Junhao though, the word “let” didn’t sound very pleasing to his ears.
Chapter 164: Looks Like You’re Too Scared
Feng Junhao lifted his chin slightly and said proudly, “I don’t need you to ‘let’ me. To show my respect to you, I will do my best in the next month’s exam and beat you with my own ability. The position of first place in the grade belongs to me.”
Jiang Yu nodded. “So you want to do two papers at once?”
Feng Junhao paused. It had already taken him more than an hour to finish one set of papers. Where would he have the time to write the second paper?
Not to mention, because he wasn’t satisfied with Jiang Yu’s results, he had gone to Kong Tang and asked to look at her second set of exam papers.
The alternate papers weren’t any less difficult than the original monthly exam papers. It will be quite difficult for him to complete two sets of exams within the stipulated time and obtain excellent results.
Feng Junhao refused to lower his head in front of Jiang Yu though. He said stubbornly, “It’s just two sets of exams. What’s there to be afraid of?”
Jiang Yu replied expressionlessly, “Alright then, you do your best. I’ll only complete one set of exam papers next time anyway. Oh, it’ll be the same for all the exams in the future.”
Feng Junhao: “…”
He felt as though he had been blindsided by Jiang Yu. What was going on?
Meanwhile, Jiang Yu recalled what Kong Tang had said just now. There were only the two of them now. If there were any other tasks that needing attention for the parent-teacher conference, there was a high chance that they would be handed over to the two of them.
Perhaps it was an honor for other students but all she wanted was to go home and sleep.
Ah, no wonder Jiang Wan worked so hard all the time. Perhaps this was also the reason?
If she was in the top three of the grade, she would have more chances to get close to Feng Junhao.
With this thought, Jiang Yu suddenly hoped that Jiang Wan would appear and perform well in front of Feng Junhao. If Jiang Wan did more of the work, Jiang Yu would definitely appear less and not be a third wheel.
Jiang Yu squinted her eyes. She finally looked at Feng Junhao and asked, “You just said it yourself. You said you want to do two sets of papers in one go during the next monthly exam. You won’t go back on your word, right?”
The girl’s tone was casual and her posture was lazy with a hint of boredom. However, the meaning behind her words wasn’t that simple.
Feng Junhao hesitated.
It was easy to say one thing but it wouldn’t be easy to follow through with it.
Moreover, his words had been ambiguous and he didn’t explicitly say that he would do it but Jiang Yu’s question seemed to have the intention of confirming his words.
Feng Junhao didn’t say anything, so Jiang Yu understood what he meant.
She shook her head regretfully and sighed, “Looks like you’re too scared.”
There seemed to be four words written on her face: “You can’t do it.”.
After being questioned by Jiang Yu, Feng Junhao wanted to shout but he tried to control his impulses.
Earlier, it could be said that he had said those words out of anger but now that Jiang Yu had asked him so officially, if he really agreed to it and did not do it in the future, he would really lose face.
Having been trained by Feng Wenshu to be the successor of the Feng family business, Feng Junhao knew that he should not say anything that carried the nature of a promise just because he was slightly angered.
Oh, of course, his promise to Ji Churan in the later stages did not count.
In Feng Junhao’s heart, he really could do it. It was just torturing his heart before torturing his kidneys.
Jiang Yu retracted her gaze and said lightly, “Then forget it. Anyway, there’s no recording here, and no one else knows what you said. I’ll pretend that I didn’t hear anything just now. You don’t want to accept the challenge of what I’ve done before.”
“However—”
Chapter 165: Little Sister Wanted to Act as His Guardian!
She suddenly changed her tone, “You should shoulder more of the responsibility for this parent-teacher conference. The first place in the grade will be yours then. Otherwise, I will kick you out of this position at any time. It’s easy for me to do so.”
Jiang Yu’s eyes were cold and her voice was even colder, “Don’t bother me in the future.”
After saying this, she turned around and left without any hesitation.
Feng Junhao was left rooted to the spot.
When Jiang Yu’s figure disappeared through the door of her classroom, Feng Junhao’s lips slowly curled up.
A prickly rose?
Hmmm, interesting.
…
As soon as Jiang Yu returned to the classroom, Jiang Zeyu nervously approached her and asked, “Little Sister, why was Zhao looking for you?”
Jiang Yu reminded him, “Be more respectful towards your teacher. Adress him as Teacher Zhao.”
Even though all Jiang Yu wanted was to sleep, that didn’t stop her from being a good student who respected her teachers.
That was why she didn’t raise any objections toward Kong Tang’s arrangement, much less ignore it.
“Okay,” Jiang Zeyu quickly changed his words obediently, “Little Sister, was Teacher Zhao looking for you because of the parent-teacher conference?”
“Yes, he said that he wants me to give a speech.”
Jiang Zeyu hadn’t expected this at first but after being reminded by Song Bi, he remembered that the parent-teacher conference had always had a tradition of getting students who ranked in the top three of the grade to give a speech.
Now that the parent-teacher conference was approaching and his little sister had gotten first place in the grade, she would definitely be put in the limelight.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zeyu winked and said, “Oh right, Little Sister, does Big Donkey Jiang know that you got first place in the grade?”
“I didn’t tell him.”
“How can you not announce something so big?”
Jiang Zeyu said anxiously, “Little Sister, it’s such a good opportunity. You can present yourself in a good light in front of Big Donkey Jiang! You should tell Big Donkey Jiang this in front of Jiang Wan and anger her to death!”
Jiang Yu: “I’m too lazy.”
Jiang Zeyu: … Alright.
His little sister didn’t like to be in the limelight. He already knew that all too well.
Jiang Yu: “Besides, even if I don’t say it, won’t she be angered to death anyway?”
Jiang Zeyu thought about it and it seemed to make sense.
He mumbled, “When the teacher sends a message, he won’t mention the results. He will only know the details when the parents come for the parent-teacher conference.”
“Big Donkey Jiang doesn’t usually pay attention to these things. If neither you nor Jiang Wan takes the initiative to say anything, he definitely won’t know. Sigh, forget it. It doesn’t matter whether he knows or not anyways. He doesn’t care much about school results. After all…”
Jiang Zeyu didn’t continue.
Jiang Yu didn’t pursue the matter.
She went off topic and asked, “How do you know that the teacher won’t announce the results when he sends out the message?”
Jiang Zeyu raised his eyebrows and lowered his voice. He proudly whispered, “My family contact information is my other phone number. One day, I had secretly gone to Zhao’s… Oh, sorry, Teacher Zhao’s office and changed it.”
Jiang Yu: “…”
Look at you.
Jiang Zeyu shrugged. “Anyway, Big Donkey Jiang and Big Brother Rong usually take turns attending Jiang Wan’s parent-teacher conference. I don’t need a parent to attend. Teacher Zhao also knows this.”
Jiang Yu thought for a moment. “Why don’t I stand-in for your parent-teacher conference?”
When Jiang Zeyu heard this, his first reaction was that felt so touched. Little Sister wanted to act as his guardian!
His second reaction was, “Pfft! How can my little sister be my guardian?”
Jiang Zeyu raised his eyebrows. “You’re my baby sister! I’m your big brother. It’s more like I should be here to hold your parent-teacher conference!”
After saying that, he looked delighted.
Eh, that wasn’t a bad idea at all.
