The crowd dispersed. Xie Jing, Wu Duo, Qiao Mei and Li Xue followed the teacher back to his office. This teacher was Xie Jings mentor in school and he did not know Wu Duo and the rest.
“The few of you, tell me what’s your major and why you’re arguing with my student,” the teacher asked while drinking tea.
“I’m Wu Duo, studying manufacturing. This is Qiao Mei, studying agriculture. That’s Li Xue, studying medicine,” Wu Duo answered honestly.
“l don’t care about your personal disputes and you should settle it among yourselves. However, you shouldn’t fight in school. It’s wrong to hit another person. You must apologize to Xie Jing,” the teacher said cunningly.
He was Xie Jings teacher, so he naturally spoke up for Xie Jinga Qiao Mei looked at the tea leaves on the teacher’s table and smiled. She said in a gentle tone, “These tea leaves are not bad. It looks like it’s this year’s new Longjing tea. I didn’t even manage to buy it. Professor, you really know your tea.”
A university professor was not paid well enough to afford such expensive tea leaves. The moment Qiao Mei highlighted this, the teacher immediately understood what she meant.
“It’s a gift from my friend. I don’t know anything about it. Since it’s a personal grudge between the two of you, then go and settle it in private. Don’t fight in the future,” the teacher said casually.
“If you have already asked him for payment once and then you stop, won’t that make it look like we’re lying? People will only believe you if you continue to chase for payment. This will also make things difficult for Xie Jing,” Qiao Mei said.
“That’s right! Why are you so smart! This never crossed my mind!” Wu Duo said excitedly.
Qiao Mei looked at Wu Duo helplessly and said, “It’s not that I’m smart, but that you’re too stupid. If you can get so easily played by Cui Hua and Xie Jing now, what will you do in the future?”
Wu Duo lowered his head dejectedly. He did not want to be played by others, but whenever he met these two people, he could not control his emotions.
Seeing Wu Duo like this, Qiao Mei felt a little helpless. After all, she wanted these few people to become her close aides in the future. Qiao Mei would not dare to use a close aide who had a weak spot. If Wu Duo could not get through this difficult issue, then Qiao Mei would consider dropping him and nurturing someone else.
After all, there would be many people taking the examination every year and she would definitely be able to find like-minded people.
“Enough, I don’t have any intention of scolding you. These two are nothing. You can just use them for target practice. After all, you shouldn’t suffer for nothing these past two days,” Qiao Mei said.
Wu Duo suddenly felt his mood lighten. He had been nursing an inferiority complex all this while. When he found out that Cui Hua had left him for Xie Jing, he did not have the courage to go and ask her for an explanation. He did not even dare to appear in front of her, worried that she would compare him with Xie Jing.
However, things were different at the moment. He had passed the college entrance examination and entered Capital University. He definitely held more value than a student who entered university by way of a recommendation letter!
In the past, Xie Jing seemed so high and mighty. Now, Xie Jing was only good enough for his target practice! This difference made him feel much more confident..
