"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.
Sun Jiandong tilted his head, confidently fixing his gaze on Jiang Cheng.
Didn't expect to see such a beautiful woman at night school.
Thinking about this, Sun Jiandong showed off his wrist, revealing a large and expensive watch.
Several people around revealed envious expressions.
That watch cost equivalent to their annual salary.
Everyone in the classroom was watching eagerly, including He Dan.
She wanted to see how Jiang Cheng would handle it.
The seats were filled, the desks matched perfectly, and the classroom had no other empty spots.
Currently, there were gender barriers, and the only solo seated male left was in the classroom.
Some classmates familiar with Sun Jiandong were silently mourning for Jiang Cheng.
Being noticed by Sun Jiandong was not a good thing.
Of course, some speculated secretly, perhaps Jiang Cheng was here for Sun Jiandong?
Amidst various speculations, Jiang Cheng walked over to Sun Jiandong.
Sun Jiandong straightened a bit, lifting his presumptuous smile.
"Comrade, is there anybody sitting beside you?"
Jiang Cheng asked, Sun Jiandong nonchalantly tilted his head: "No."
"Good then."
Jiang Cheng gripped the sides of the desk, exerted force to lift it, under Sun Jiandong's astonished expression, she moved the desk away!
With a thud, the desk was placed by the podium.
Distinctive, standing out from the crowd.
Once the desk was placed, Jiang Cheng perfectly ignored the stares from others, walked back again to move the chair.
Sun Jiandong found Jiang Cheng's bold move awkward, slightly embarrassed.
Feeling his face lost, Sun Jiandong sneered: Just you wait.
After Jiang Cheng moved the chair, the class bell rang.
An old man without hair entered.
Jiang Cheng quickly glanced.
Uncle Wang at the gate mentioned the most responsible teacher had arrived.
"Why are you sitting here?"
Jiang Cheng immediately stood up, posture tall, voice loud: "Reporting to the teacher, it's easy to hear clearly here, I want to study well."
Honest and direct answer satisfied Teacher Chen.
"Alright, sit down."
Teacher Chen began the lesson.
Jiang Cheng listened intently.
She focused entirely, eyes following the teacher, notes writing swiftly, actively answering questions while demonstrating understanding.
At the end of the lesson, Teacher Chen felt unprecedented satisfaction as a teacher.
"Jiang Cheng, keep studying hard, maintain your seriousness."
"Teacher, I will definitely study hard, never wasting the opportunity to learn."
Teacher Chen walked away, satisfied.
During a brief break, Jiang Cheng quickly integrated into the small group of classmates, chatting warmly.
The bell soon rang, and as the second teacher walked in, he noticed Jiang Cheng's desk and chair, his gaze showed displeasure.
"What are you doing sitting here, student?"
Jiang Cheng stood up again, eyes filled with admiration and awe.
"Reporting to the teacher, classmates told me you lecture thoroughly and attentively, I didn't want to miss the chance to learn from you, so I took the liberty to sit here and conveniently listen to each of your teachings."
With just a few words, Uncle Wang's favorite teacher, fond of flattery, cleared his throat and said: "Ah well, then you can sit here."
Throughout the class, Jiang Cheng acted like the best supporting character, pleasing Mr. Zhang profoundly.
After class, Mr. Zhang, who hadn't dropped his smile, stood opposite Jiang Cheng and said: "Jiang Cheng, keep it up."
