Jennie said lazily, "Why do I remember that there's a school-wide meeting next Monday? There's no need to mobilize so many people."
Krystal was silent. How could she have forgotten about that!
Krystal's heart softened. "Jennie, Teacher Zhang is a teacher after all. You can't…"
"Why can't I? Only the state can set a fire, but the common people can't light lamps?"
"You…" Krystal was momentarily speechless.
Zhang Shaogang said, "Can I apologize to you privately? It's my fault."
This apology was utterly insincere.
Zhang Shaogang had indeed apologized for Principal Jiang's sake. Otherwise, he would not have bothered with Jennie at all.
Jennie didn't even glance at him from the corner of her eye. She just reached out and patted the non-existent dust from her school uniform.
"If there's nothing else, I'll make a move first." Jennie shouldered her school bag and took a few steps before turning around. "Don't forget, next Monday."
Krystal's expression changed drastically.
Zhang Shaogang had not expected Jennie to be so unappreciative. He had personally come to apologize, but she still refused to budge! Was it wrong for him to call her rude?
However, he didn't dare to complain on Weibo anymore.
"Teacher Zhang, as you can see, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that Jennie is too…"
Zhang Shaogang's face darkened. "I understand."
Krystal knew that she had offended Zhang Shaogang greatly this time. Given his vengeful personality, he would probably remember her forever.
Thankfully, Zhang Shaogang did not have any real power, so Krystal was not afraid of offending him.
Zhang Shaogang was about to apologize, but due to the attention of the entire Internet, there was no need for Jennie to mention it. Everyone had already latched onto the school's student assembly next Monday.
There was no lack of busybodies online who kept asking about this matter. Someone even started a countdown.
When Jennie saw it, she just smiled.
Of course, there were also people who had privately messaged her, telling her to be lenient and not pursue the matter with Zhang Shaogang.
Jennie did not reply.
Why would she spare him? From the beginning, Zhang Shaogang had been the one who posted the bet online to smear her reputation.
When he had posted that Weibo post, had he considered her feelings and the consequences that it would bring her?
If she hadn't passed the admission test at Beijing University, would Shi Jin, who had been mocked by everyone on the internet, have been let off? Would he spare Jennie and not make her apologize?
Of course not. He had been waiting for Jennie to apologize to him ever since he had made up his mind to blow things up. Jennie was just following his wishes.
***
At Second High School:
On Monday:
The school assembly was held as scheduled.
Jennie stood among the crowd.
Wang Boyan and Ye Ke, who did not need to attend class, had specially come over today to witness Zhang Shaogang's apology.
Many students had also switched on their phones. Some fans were even secretly hiding outside the school to record the scene.
Quite a number of reporters had even come.
Principal Lu gave a speech as per usual, praising the students who passed the final exam and carrying out other tasks as usual.
Everything was peaceful. It began and ended peacefully.
Teacher Zhang Shaogang did not appear.
The reporters and fans also reported this situation online.
This time, even the students who had been supporting Zhang Shaogang could no longer sit still.
"If you're willing to bet, you have to admit defeat. That's how it goes, right?"
"Since Jennie passed the test, why didn't he abide by the bet?"
A passerby was not as calm as the others and directly said, "What kind of man is he? A coward who dares to fail but doesn't dare to admit it!"
"Ha, you still have the cheek to call yourself a role model. Don't embarrass your colleagues."
"It's an eye-opener for Beijing University to have such a teacher."
"Don't say that. A sports department that can't even be ranked in Beijing University can't represent the university, right?"
"That's right. Beijing University cannot be represented by people like Zhang Shaogang!"
"Forget it, forget it. I've finally seen everything. I can only laugh at him now."
Zhang Shaogang had avoided the apology, but not social death.
The entire internet looked down on him. The entire department looked down on him. The entire university looked down on him.
When he walked into class, there would be people pointing at him from behind.
However, all of this had nothing to do with Jennie. She neither cared nor bothered to listen to such news.
At Supreme Entertainment:
As Jennie was attending an event, the designer was taking measurements and making new clothes.
Yao Jiahong was very willing to spend money on her now. Clothes, skincare products, bags, and resources were all piled on her.
He had to give Jennie a share of whatever other artists had.
If not for the fact that he was only in his thirties, some people would have suspected that Jennie was his daughter.
As for why they would not suspect that Jennie was his girlfriend, how could he have such a cold and indifferent girlfriend who would barely look at him?
"This fabric is really good. Do you mind making me the kind of dress that I usually wear?" Jennie asked.
Yao Jiahong immediately agreed. "Whatever you need, you can get the designer to make it for you."
"Would you mind helping me make a set of men's clothing?"
Yao Jiahong was speechless. Why was he having his jealousy incited when Lisa wasn't even there?
However, he wasn't such a petty person. After all, Lisa was still his boss.
The designer said, "I need his measurements."
"No problem, I'll recite them to you." Jennie cuddled Lisa to sleep every night. Naturally, she knew his measurements like the back of her hand.
Speaking of which, after experiencing so many things in her previous life, Jennie was the one who was under a lot of psychological pressure. Although she couldn't compare to Lisa in terms of insomnia and nightmares, she was still more serious than ordinary people, but it was precisely because she could sleep with Lisa every night that she slept better than the night before.
It was hard to say that she had healed Lisa. It was Lisa who had healed her.
Yao Jiahong asked, "Did you and Master Manoban… get the wrong script?"
Jennie glanced at him from the corner of her eye. "Hm?"
"Nothing." Yao Jiahong didn't want to suffer any more.
In the end, Jennie left with Lisa's clothes. As for her… she could do her clothes later.
Along the way, Jennie received a call.
She checked the screen. It was her grandfather.
In other words, it was Old Master Lee.
Old Master Kim. She had long changed his name on her phone to Grandpa Kim.
Old Master Lee was Jennie's biological grandfather. However, in both lifetimes, they rarely interacted with each other. In this lifetime, Jennie had not even met him.
Thinking about it, it must be because Dong-wook's leg had recovered that he had rushed over from the town to meet Jennie.
Jennie swiped to answer the call.
