"Illiterate?"
Beside He Dan, Zhou Xiaohong looked at Jiang Cheng with disdain, her words full of mockery.
"The literacy class is downstairs, why come here and act like you understand what the teacher is saying."
As Zhou Xiaohong finished speaking, a young woman with an aura of an old cadre also spoke up.
"Student, please do not waste the opportunity to learn."
Zhang Cuijuan stared at Jiang Cheng’s handsome face, frowned with disgust, yet another person who wastes time not learning properly.
He Dan was secretly delighted, wanting Jiang Cheng to realize the gap between them.
Standing at the door, Jiang Cheng’s face showed appropriate surprise.
"Isn’t this Mr. He Dan? Didn’t expect to meet you here, how wonderful!"
Jiang Cheng’s enthusiasm left He Dan speechless.
How could their relationship be wonderful?
Jiang Cheng took a few steps to face He Dan, speaking in a familiar tone: "Mr. He just loves joking around, my eloquent and passionate writing is so good, why would I need to go to the literacy class, right?"
Jiang Cheng smiled warmly, while He Dan felt anger welling up inside.
What could she do?
Could she deny it?
Wasn’t Jiang Cheng alluding to the diary incident?
He Dan didn’t want to expose the Lin Family affair, and deep down she wasn’t sure others would support her.
So it wasn’t a matter of right or wrong, just a matter of weighing interests.
He Dan swallowed her grievance, forced a smile and said: "I forgot."
"How could you forget such a thing!"
Jiang Cheng suddenly slapped He Dan on the arm, acting familiar as she continued: "I knew you were competitive, just returned yesterday and came to night school today, afraid I might be smarter than you, and surpass you in studies, right?"
"If you ask me, everyone here is smart, otherwise, why would they come here?"
"So Mr. He, relax, we’re meant to be in the same class, we should work hard together and progress, don’t you think?"
He Dan felt like she was going to grind her molars to pieces.
Jiang Cheng’s blatant scheme was tarnishing her.
If she denied it, Jiang Cheng would surely bring up the Lin Family business, right?
As expected, Zhou Xiaohong stepped back, and Zhang Cuijuan advised seriously: "Mr. He, better to focus your thoughts on studying."
He Dan lowered her head, her face twitching uncontrollably, trying to say: "I really forgot, that’s not what I meant."
Across from her, Jiang Cheng suddenly realized, eagerly explaining for He Dan: "Yes, yes, Mr. He definitely isn’t here for outstanding graduate status."
He Dan’s pupils widened, she desperately wanted to shut Jiang Cheng’s mouth!
Jiang Cheng scored a small victory, calm and composed, it was nothing big.
She couldn’t understand He Dan’s logic, clearly holding leverage, yet voluntarily looking for trouble, purely brainless.
However, seeing He Dan reminded Jiang Cheng of the story’s plot.
He Dan indeed attended night school, probably because of the protagonist’s aura, and really achieved the title of outstanding graduate.
Later, using the connections and the prestigious title gained in night school, she found a great job.
So, she has already reserved the title of outstanding graduate.
Carrying her backpack, Jiang Cheng politely greeted the classmates and looked for a seat.
There were more than twenty people in the class, others had arrived early, leaving only one vacant seat.
The seat was at the back of the class, beside a man whose hair seemed to have been sprayed with countless hair gel.
Based on Jiang Cheng’s analysis, this man might be one reason why the hair gel factory hasn’t gone bankrupt.
This hair looked like it had been licked by a calf.
The man had a confident demeanor, arms spread over the chair back, with a vibe of claiming his territory.
Others in the classroom didn’t object, some didn’t even dare glance back.
Jiang Cheng understood well.
There was a strong backing, here just to polish reputation.
