156 Young Master Jiang’s Treat

Gu Yuan quickly pulled Zhong Yao over and introduced her, “This is my niece. Her name is Zhong Yao. She has been studying in high school in town previously and her results are quite good. Zhong Yao, quickly greet Principal Wu.”

Zhong Yao lowered her head and greeted obediently, “Hello, Principal Wu.”

Principal Wu looked at Zhong Yao and nodded. He said to Gu Yuan, “Let Zhong Yao do the admission test for transfer students first. It won’t be a problem if she passes. If she doesn’t pass the test, I can’t help you.”

Gu Yuan quickly said, “Of course. If Zhong Yao fails the test, I won’t have the face to ask Principal Wu for help anymore.”

At this moment, Zhong Yao pinched the corner of her clothes nervously. Be it the luxury cars at the school gate, the beautiful and flamboyant students, or the luxurious and dignified school, they all made her feel like she had come to a new world. She was a little uneasy.

However, no one noticed this.

Principal Wu called Secretary Liao in. “Secretary Liao, supervise Zhong Yao for the transfer student test. After the test, bring me the papers.”

Principal Wu then said to Zhong Yao, “Go with Secretary Liao. Secretary Liao will bring you back after the exam.”

After Secretary Liao and Zhong Yao left, Gu Yuan took out a large envelope from his briefcase. “This is some information about Zhong Yao. Please take a look.”

Principal Wu took it and opened the envelope. Apart from the information, there were also some vouchers for buying houses and so on. Principal Wu did not look carefully. He closed the envelope and said, “Okay, okay, okay. I’ll look at these documents later. Looking at your niece, she shouldn’t be bad. Just don’t make things difficult for me like Gu Man did.”

Gu Yuan had a headache when he heard Gu Man’s name. “Don’t worry, if Zhong Yao is like this, I’ll make her drop out of school without hesitation.”

“I’m relieved to have your guarantee,” Principal Wu said with a smile.

“Principal Wu, I was thinking that it’s almost time for the college entrance examination. I should let her settle down quickly. Otherwise, it will affect her revision in the future,” Gu Yuan said worriedly.

“Of course I know that, but look, the test results are not out yet. I can’t force a pass. Don’t be anxious. I’ll give you an answer in the next two days. If there’s no problem, she can come to school next Monday.”

Hearing Principal Wu’s words, Gu Yuan knew that he would not be able to get confirmation today. “I was anxious. Then I’ll wait for Principal Wu’s news.”

“Sure.” Principal Wu stood up and sat on the sofa beside the coffee table. “Come, let’s have some tea and wait for Zhong Yao to finish her exam.”

“Okay.”

Gu Yuan’s social skills were naturally not bad. Soon, laughter came from the principal’s office.

On Gu Man’s side, she had just sat down.

Jiang Yi rushed over, his eyes filled with admiration and he shouted, “Sister Man.”

Gu Man was confused by Jiang Yi’s actions. “What are you doing?”

Jiang Yi leaned closer, but her low voice could not hide her excitement. “The stone you asked me to pick actually has high-end green jade. I made a huge profit.”

Gu Man listened. So that was what happened.

“Congratulations,” Gu Man said calmly.

“Sister Man, shall I treat you to a meal to thank you?” Jiang Yi said generously.

“Dinner? Sure, anyone who listens will have a share.” Xiao Xiao had appeared behind Jiang Yi at some point and happened to hear this. She quickly stuck her head out and asked.

Jiang Yi pushed her head away with a finger and said angrily, “You only know how to eat. I think you’ll never lose weight.”

Lu You also joined in. “Dinner? Then I’ll definitely be there.”

Jiang Yi stood up straight, crossed his arms, cleared his throat, and said, “Then let’s have a meal together. My treat.”

Xiao Xiao and Lu You cheered.

Xiao Xiao excitedly asked, “Let’s think about where to eat. Gu Man, do you have a restaurant you like?”

“I’m fine with anything.” Gu Man had the deepest impression of Restaurant Fragrance, but Jiang Yi probably couldn’t afford it.

Xiao Xiao rubbed her chin, thinking. Seeing this, Lu You said, “Don’t think about places that are too expensive. We’re poor students.”

Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes at Lu You. “Of course I know.”

After a while, Xiao Xiao snapped her fingers and said, “I know a place that’s not too expensive, but the food is delicious, especially the lion’s head [1. Lion’s Head is a stewed meatball dish typically made of pork] there. It’s delicious.”

“Xiao Xiao, you’re drooling,” Jiang Yi said disdainfully.

Everyone laughed.
