“Li Beiting is your second uncle?”

The class advisor, a sly middle-aged woman, pushed her glasses up as soon as she saw Yu Weiwei walk in.

Yu Weiwei’s little brain clicked, and she instantly understood what that meant!

Li Beiting had donated funds to their school, after all, so he was definitely an important figure.

In truth, Yu Weiwei’s family had nothing to do with Li Beiting, even though her home was just across from Splendid World; but just one street away, the difference in housing prices was a world apart.

“Yes, Li Beiting is my second uncle, he said he had some free time today and would drop by,” Yu Weiwei said with a smile.

“I’ll talk to him about the magazine issue during class, but, if you’re willing to admit your mistake and correct it from now on, the teacher believes you can still get into a good university.”

“Thank you for your trust, teacher. I won’t make such mistakes again. I’ll pay attention in class and take notes diligently,” she replied.

“Hmm, if there’s something you don’t understand, you can always ask more questions. The teacher won’t refuse to teach, and I really like students who are diligent and eager to learn.”

Xu Chaomu stood by, wondering when the class advisor had become so easy to talk to.

She remembered that when she and Yu Weiwei had gotten into trouble before, running eight or ten laps on the field was the least of the punishments.

“Xu Chaomu!”

The class advisor remembered there was another person.

“I’m here!”

“Where are your parents?”

“You’re not unaware, class advisor, my parents haven’t been around since I was little,” Xu Chaomu responded indifferently.

“Then what about your guardian?”

“My guardian? He’s really busy, busy making money to support me!”

“No matter how busy, he can’t neglect your studies! Look at you, wasting time all day, forming cliques in class, even daring to bring such magazines to pass around!”

The class advisor pulled out the entertainment magazine she had confiscated the day before and slapped it on the desk.

Xu Chaomu glanced at it, her eyes catching the pretty face of the actress on the cover.

“Can’t help it, my brother is so busy, and our family is so poor. He’s having a hard time even getting married for my sake, I dare not bother him with my education. He’s working from dawn till dusk, it breaks my heart to see it,” Xu Chaomu said as she squeezed out a couple of tears on purpose.

“Your family is so poor that even your brother is having trouble getting married?”

The class advisor had hardly finished speaking when a clear laugh came from outside the door.

Everyone in the meeting room looked outside, and Xu Chaomu was the first to cover her face.

Li Beiting had come without even a hint of greeting!

The class advisor hurriedly got up from her chair and went over to greet Li Beiting.

“Mr. Li, hello, thank you for your concern,” she said.

The class advisor extended her hand to shake Li Beiting’s, but he just “hmm”-ed and didn’t shake her hand. Instead, he looked toward Xu Chaomu, holding back a laugh.

“Chaomu, if your brother can’t get married, you might as well marry him,” he said.

This was probably the biggest joke Li Beiting had ever heard. What would Shen Chi’s reaction be if he told him?

He struggled to hold back his laughter; this girl was still so naive.

In C City, any woman with a bit of looks and wits was trying her best to climb into Shen Chi’s bed.

Shen Chi was young, handsome, mature, successful, and controlled the entire Shen Group, and yet he was still unmarried.

“I’m not interested in him,” Xu Chaomu said, pouting dismissively.

Shen Chi threw her comic books away, forbidden her from wearing short skirts, was always scolding her, and even complained that her chest was too small! With such a bad temper, she wasn’t interested at all!

The smile on Li Beiting’s face grew even clearer, having never before encountered someone who looked down on Shen Chi.

Xu Chaomu’s disdainful little eyes could hardly hide his contempt.

The class teacher was beside them, completely baffled. It seemed like Li Beiting, the CEO, was quite familiar with Xu Chaomu?

Yu Weiwei tugged at Li Beiting’s sleeve, “Second uncle, could you please plead with Xu Chaomu on my behalf? We’ll never look at magazines again.” Li Beiting glanced at Yu Weiwei, “What magazine is so interesting?”

The class teacher smiled, “Weiwei has already admitted her mistake, and I think it’s good that she’s willing to change. Since she has promised not to look at magazines anymore, you can rest assured, CEO Li.”

In fact, Yu Weiwei really wanted to take the magazine back; she hadn’t finished reading it, and it cost ten yuan!

She and Xu Chaomu cooperated, shuffling around until they were near the conference table.

While the class teacher wasn’t paying attention, Yu Weiwei’s little hand crept onto the table and pulled down the magazine!

However, just as she touched the magazine, a large hand reached out and grabbed the magazine first.

Yu Weiwei glared at Li Beiting with indignation.

“What magazine is so interesting?”

Li Beiting repeated himself and took the magazine into his hands.

But, as soon as he saw the woman on the magazine cover, his expression stiffened for a moment.

He stared at the cover for several minutes. freew ebnov el

Xu Chaomu looked on with disdain. Indeed, men are all the same. The woman on the magazine was just a bit prettier, had a larger chest, and a slimmer waist!

Did he have to stare at it so intently?!

Yu Weiwei also wore a look of disdain!

She and Xu Chaomu reached the same conclusion—no man was a good thing.

The class teacher continued, “CEO Li, please take a seat here. The principal said he just wanted to have a few words with you.”

“No need, let’s just talk about Yu Weiwei and Xu Chaomu, then I’ll leave,” Li Beiting said, placing the magazine beside him.

“Weiwei has a good attitude and is willing to correct her errors. I believe she can change. She’s a smart kid, so I’ll have a few teachers give her extra attention. Don’t worry about it.”

“She’s smart? She’s only clever in small ways,” Li Beiting revealed Yu Weiwei’s true nature in public.

“Li Beiting! If I’m not smart, are you smart?” Yu Weiwei immediately challenged him!

The class teacher was startled; not even the principal dared to address CEO Li by his full name. This girl must be a relative of Li Beiting; she sure had guts.

Li Beiting snorted and didn’t respond to her.

The class teacher went on, “As for Xu Chaomu, she’s not very obedient. She wouldn’t even call her parents when I asked her to. I’m planning on moving Weiwei’s seat; I don’t want Xu Chaomu sitting with her anymore.”

Li Beiting snorted coldly once again. Was this class teacher so opportunistic?

Shen Chi was the biggest shareholder of this private school, and he had only donated some money.

“No way, no way!” protested Yu Weiwei first, “I don’t want to change seats. Chaomu and I get along so well, why would I change seats? I disagree! Second uncle, I disagree!”

The class teacher earnestly advised, “Weiwei, this is for your own good. Have the teachers not taught you that one takes on the color of one’s company? Xu Chaomu isn’t ambitious, you mustn’t follow her example. You still have potential.”

“Second uncle, I disagree!” Yu Weiwei clung to Li Beiting’s clothes. Li Beiting’s mouth curled into a smile as he patted her little cheek.

He liked her just the way she was, very much.

“Don’t worry, you won’t have to change seats; you’ll just get a new class teacher.”

The bewildered class teacher’s eyes widened. What did Li Beiting mean?

“CEO Li, are… are you joking?” the class teacher managed a nervous smile, “I’m doing this for Weiwei’s benefit. I haven’t been a class teacher for just a day; I can tell whether a student has potential or is willing to learn at a glance. You understand the principle of being influenced by the company one keeps..”
