Chapter 329: I Have Something Important to Tell Big Brother
In the hospital ward.
When Jiang Wan saw Rong Qi returned, she couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Rong, Where’s my Big Brother?”
Rong Qi said in a businesslike tone, “Director Jiang has been very busy recently.”
“Brother Rong, don’t lie to me.” Jiang Wan’s expression was gloomy. “Big Brother doesn’t want to see me, so he asked you to come instead.”
Rong Qi tried to persuade her. “Miss Jiang, you mustn’t think like that.”
Jiang Wan’s lips twitched but her smile was bitter. “You used to call me Miss Wan Wan, but now you’re just like Big Brother. You don’t call Wan Wan anymore.”
Rong Qi changed the topic. “Miss Jiang, I brought your favorite dishes today. President Jiang asked me to buy them for you.”
“If he really wanted to, he should have come himself.”
Rong Qi didn’t say anything and placed the packed food box in front of Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan vented her anger on Rong Qi and realized that she had done something wrong. She apologized, “Sorry, Brother Rong. I was being too stubborn and made things difficult for you.”
Then, she lowered her head and opened the food box.
The dishes in the lunchbox were two meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and one soup. It was a well-balanced and perfectly matched meal. They looked, smelled, and tasted delicious. One look and one could tell that they were appetizing.
Jiang Wan sighed. “I didn’t expect Big Brother to still remember my preference.”
Rong Qi held back and didn’t say anything. Actually, this wasn’t the dish that Jiang Chenglang had chosen. He had only ordered him to send the food over. He didn’t order those dishes. Rong Qi had chosen it according to what he could remember of Jiang Wan’s preferences.
Forget it. Let’s just treat it as a beautiful misunderstanding.
Jiang Wan ate the food in small bites and suddenly asked, “Brother Rong, have you eaten?”
“I have.”
“Sorry for troubling you to bring this food all the way here.” Jiang Wan said gratefully, “Since you’ve sent it here, and there’s I don’t need anything else, you should go back to work.”
“It’s okay. I’ll sit with Miss Jiang for a while.”
“Thank you, Brother Rong.” Jiang Wan smiled sweetly, finally revealing her first smile today. Then, she pretended to ask casually, “Brother Rong, do you know the reason why brother is so cold to me now?”
Rong Qi said, “I won’t interfere with Director Jiang’s personal affairs.”
Jiang Wan pouted. “I know this is your professional principle but I thought Big Brother would say something to you. After all, you’re his right-hand man. Forget it forget it. Forget that I asked this question, but…”
She asked with a drawl, “Can you do me a favor?”
“What is it, Miss Jiang.”
“Help me call Big Brother, please. Tell him that I have something important to tell him.”
Jiang Wan lowered her eyes. Her long and thick eyelashes cast a shadow over her eyes, making it so that other people were unable to see the emotions in her eyes. The only thing they would feel was that the person sitting on the hospital bed was quite lonely.
She was disappointed and muttered to herself, “It’s been so long. Father and Mother have passed away. There’s no need to hide this matter anymore, right…”
“Otherwise, Big Brother will really not want me anymore…”
…
In the school, in the teacher’s office.
A few students were listening to Cheng Maoshi’s teachings.
“The preliminary examinations for the five-subject examination are about to begin. This round of preliminary examinations will eliminate about 60% of the competition. All of you, do well in the examinations and strive to enter the semi-finals!”
A High had the highest number of applicants compare to any other school. There were five applicants while other schools within the capital only had a maximum of three applicants.
After all, this was a national-level examination. It was a very prominent exam and the threshold was relatively high.
The other schools had to go through multiple rounds of selection before they would put forth their list of applicants. It was the same for A High, with the exception of Feng Junhao and Jiang Yu.
Chapter 330: The Difference Between a God of Learning and an Ordinary Person
Feng Junhao had occupied the first place rank every time before Jiang Yu had arrived, so his ability was obvious. As for Jiang Yu, her reason was even simpler.
Although she had only taken the first rank in the grade once, if she had to take another few rounds of exams before taking more exams, she would immediately turn around and leave.
So…
She was strongly recommended by Cheng Maoshi.
After leaving the office, Chen Miaoyi quickly caught up to Jiang Yu and said happily, “My Goddess, we can take part in training together in the future!”
Jiang Yu glanced at her and said slowly, “It seems like you don’t know.”
“Know what?”
Jiang Yu: “Teacher Cheng has given me special permission. I don’t need to take part in the school’s training classes.”
Chen Miaoyi: ???
Was this the difference between a God of Learning and an ordinary person?
Teacher Cheng had even considered this?
She looked at Jiang Yu with an indescribable expression, thinking that she would not be able to spend much with her goddess.
Chen Miaoyi’s results were not top five of the grade but she had been selected because she had strong logical thinking. One of the five subjects in the five-subject examination was information science and it was not a subject for the college entrance examination. However, Chen Miaoyi had joined the school’s science information team since her first year of high school and was one of the best on the team. That was why she was able to beat the others and get the spot.
Chen Miaoyi was a little sad. She asked expectantly, “If I have any questions during the training, can I ask you?”
Jiang Yu agreed, “Sure.”
Chen Miaoyi clapped her hands and cheered, “That’s great!”
As the two of them were talking, Feng Junhao happened to pass by. When he heard Jiang Yu’s reply, his expression immediately turned ugly.
Jiang Yu was compassionate towards others but why was she really cold toward him?
A boy who was with Feng Junhao said disdainfully, “She accidentally got the questions right and got first place in the grade once. Why does Teacher Cheng think so highly of her? She even has a pass to not participate in the training. Who does she think she is? If she takes the exam without preparing for it, will she be able to enter the semi-finals?”
Chen Miaoyi immediately got upset when she heard this.
She retorted, “If you have the ability, why don’t you try getting full marks for once? What accident? If you don’t have the ability, then stop being so whiny! My Goddess will definitely get into the finals!”
The male student said angrily, “Chen Miaoyi, you didn’t help Jiang Wan this much when you were good friends with her in the past. Now, you have such an attitude towards Jiang Yu. You’re such a traitor, you changed so quickly!”
“Don’t mention Jiang Wan to me.”
Chen Miaoyi’s expression immediately darkened.
“Deng Jing, don’t think that I don’t know that you’re speaking up for Jiang Wan because you have a crush on her. You’ve been deceived by her appearance but I haven’t. In my heart, I know my Goddess is a thousand times better than her!”
Deng Jing said sarcastically, “A wallflower will always be a wallflower. Hey Jiang Yu, you have to be careful. If she can treat Jiang Wan this way, she can treat you the same way in the future.”
Deng Jing sneered and left.
Feng Junhao looked at Jiang Yu thoughtfully and left as well.
Chen Miaoyi was sharp-tongued towards Deng Jing but she was at a loss as to what to say to Jiang Yu, “Goddess, I’m not that kind of person. I wasn’t thinking straight in the past but now I really see you as my goddess. I will never stop being your loyal follower! You are my role model! You are my compass toward progress! You are my guiding light in life!”
Jiang Yu looked at her indifferently. “I got it, I got it. Go back and do your work. I have something to do.”
“Yes, Goddess!”
Before she left, Jiang Yu said, “Actually, your language skills are quite good. So why can’t you get high marks in Chinese?”
Chen Miaoyi: “…”
She was suddenly stabbed by her goddess.
…
Jiang Yu went to the hospital.
An Yimin’s recovery was progressing well. He would be discharged the following day.
After An Yimin was discharged, it was unlikely that Jiang Yu would come back to the hospital. The doctors in the hospital panicked, especially after witnessing the miracle that Jiang Yu had performed.
Some people suggested that Jiang Yu be hired as the hospital’s specialist doctor. However, after they found out that Jiang Yu had rejected Jiang Jingnian’s invitation to join the X Research Institute, they gave up on that idea.
Chapter 331: Pretending to Be a Pig to Eat a Tiger
What a joke. The X Research Institute was much better than this lousy… Oh, not lousy. A regular big hospital.
Jiang Yu didn’t even fancy joining X-Institute, how could she fancy this small temple of theirs?
…
The next day, Jiang Yu and Xun Shaorong were helping An Yimin pack up when Jiang Jingnian arrived.
Jiang Jingnian asked again, “Are you really not going to reconsidering joining us at X-Institute?”
Jiang Yu said plainly, “I’m too busy. There’s still the college entrance exam.”
Jiang Jingnian choked. He hadn’t expected that the words he used to avoid David would come out of Jiang Yu’s mouth.
Did this indirectly reflect that the two of them had some kind of mutual understanding?
Jiang Jingnian turned around and smiled. He clarified, “A lot of people that have finished their college entrance exams, even undergraduates or even medical students who have graduated with a master’s degrees may not be able to enter our research institute. Are you sure you don’t need to reconsider?”
Jiang Yu suddenly thought of something.
She looked up at Jiang Jingnian and asked, “You’re Chinese.”
This was an affirmative statement.
Jiang Jingnian raised his eyebrows. “So?”
“I don’t think you’ve ever told me your Chinese name.”
Jiang Jingnian’s expression froze for a moment. At this moment, someone came through the door of the ward.
He carefully identified the figure in front of him and repeatedly confirmed that he wasn’t mistaken.
Jiang Xingyi was stunned. “You… Why are you here?”
Jiang Jingnian was very familiar with the voice behind him. He didn’t even need to turn around to know who it was.
He paused for a moment, knowing that he wouldn’t be able to avoid it today.
Jiang Jingnian turned around with a perfect curve on his lips. He waved his hand and said, “What a coincidence.”
Jiang Xingyi closed the door and strode in. “When did you come back?”
“Not too long ago.”
Jiang Yu added, “At least half a month now.”
Half a month ago was when she had first seen him.
“Do you know each other?”
“More than that.”
The corners of Jiang Xingyi’s mouth twitched. After answering this question, he realized that Jiang Yu did not know his identity.
It was normal for Jiang Yu not to know about Jiang Jingnian. After all, she has not seen him for many years.
However, their little sister had just been recognized by the Jiangs. It seemed reasonable that Jiang Jingnian didn’t know that their little sister had come back. Jiang Xingyi didn’t know if Jiang Chenglang had told Jiang Jingnian or had even sent him a photo of their little sister.
Jiang Xingyi thought for a moment and introduced, “This is our little sister.”
Jiang Jingnian: “I know.”
Jiang Yu: “He knows.”
In return, Jiang Jingnian raised his eyebrows in surprise. “How do you know that I know?”
Jiang Xingyi: This sounds like some kind of tongue twister…
“Because even though you pretended to smile at everyone, you didn’t take the initiative to greet me in the hospital. You’re actually not such a warm-hearted person.”
Jiang Yu explained calmly, “Also, one day, I overheard someone calling you Doctor Jiang.”
Of course, the most important thing was that the other day, when Jiang Yu was curious, she had hacked into X-Institute’s website to check Jiang Jingnian’s information. No one noticed that she had broken through the firewall.
She wasn’t going to tell them about this though.
Jiang Jingnian: “…”
Jiang Xingyi: “… The man with a fake smile. Pfft!”
Jiang Jingnian said with difficulty, “So you knew all along…”
He thought that he was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. He hadn’t expected the real schemer here to be his little sister.
