Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 165 - 159, Bad girl Lin Qianqian has made great progress!

Chapter 165: 159, Bad girl Lin Qianqian has made great progress!

This weekend, Ye Qingcao didn’t come over to play.

Because Ye Qingcao wasn’t here, Huo Feng had no choice but to share Pu Sangzhi with Lin Qianqian.

The three of them were tutored at Lin Qianqian’s house, and Lin Qianqian’s mid-term grades had come out, showing significant improvement!

You should know, previously Lin Qianqian ranked last in her class.

After being tutored by Pu Sangzhi for this period, she scored 34th in her class this mid-term, improving by a full 20 places!

This rapid progress even made Lin Qianqian’s teacher suspect that Lin Qianqian might have cheated.

However, after Lin Qianqian’s parents were summoned by the teacher, it was confirmed that Lin Qianqian had earned her grades through her own efforts.

Pu Sangzhi’s effective tutoring made Lin Qianqian’s parents very happy!

On Saturday afternoon, when Pu Sangzhi was tutoring Lin Qianqian and Huo Feng, Wu Cuidi knocked on the door and entered the room with a tray of fresh fruit.

"Excuse me for interrupting, but auntie brought some fruit for you guys."

Wu Cuidi put down a tray of freshly washed and cut fruit on the desk and hurriedly said, "Sangzhi, Xiaofeng, you two have been working hard tutoring our Qianqian these past days. Eat more fruits, and auntie thanks you both."

"Auntie, please don’t be so formal. Tutoring Qianqian is our responsibility. Look,, we’re even getting paid to tutor. If there weren’t any results, it would be embarrassing for us to stay at your home, right?"

The one who rushed to respond was Huo Feng.

Meanwhile, Lin Qianqian and Pu Sangzhi just quietly watched him take the credit, looking sycophantic.

Clearly, it was Pu Sangzhi who tutored them both. Although they spent two to three hours more than the scheduled time each day, it was because Huo Feng had been taking away Lin Qianqian’s tutoring time.

In such a situation, Huo Feng still had the audacity to accept Wu Cuidi’s thanks; Pu Sangzhi truly admired his shamelessness!

Wu Cuidi didn’t know about their tutoring model; she always thought that Huo Feng was another little teacher who came over to help tutor Lin Qianqian.

So Wu Cuidi thought, it was because of these two brilliant students from Longxiang teaching her daughter that she made such great improvements in this mid-term.

She genuinely appreciated them both!

"Xiaofeng, you’re really sweet-talking; auntie really enjoys talking with you."

Wu Cuidi said with a laugh, patting Huo Feng on the shoulder, "Our Qianqian has improved so much this time, we really owe it to both of you. You might not know, but she’s always struggled with her studies, having ranked last in her class since junior high. Holding that position so firmly, nobody could take it from her. Improving by 20 spots all of a sudden was beyond my wildest dreams. You two really are a blessing for our Qianqian, by the way..."

Wu Cuidi took out two red envelopes from her pocket, handing the thicker one to Pu Sangzhi, "Sangzhi, this is your salary, I’ll settle a month’s worth now. It was agreed upon for three hours a day, but you’ve been tutoring Qianqian for five to six hours each time, so I’ve added a bit more, thank you."

Since it was her salary, Pu Sangzhi accepted it with peace of mind, nodding in gratitude, "Thank you, auntie."

Wu Cuidi handed the thinner red envelope to Huo Feng, "Xiaofeng, this is also a little something from auntie, you take it too."

Clearly, Huo Feng hadn’t contributed a bit to Lin Qianqian’s tutoring!

Pu Sangzhi signaled with her eyes for Huo Feng not to accept this red envelope.

But, shamelessly, Huo Feng happily reached out to take it, nodding, "Ah, thank you, auntie, I won’t be polite then."

"Hey..."

Pu Sangzhi was so provoked by his action that she even poked Huo Feng’s hand, "How can you take the money? Give it back to auntie right now."

"Ah, no need, no need; it’s just a little token of appreciation. It’s not much..."

Wu Cuidi hurried to stop them, saying, "My Qianqian’s dad has a special job, often needing to drive long distances. Usually, I have to accompany him. So over the years, Qianqian has been somewhat neglected. This time, Qianqian has made such great progress and has improved her attitude towards studying, thanks to you two. Auntie hopes you can continue to help Qianqian out, at least so she can get into a better school in next year’s middle school exams."

"Of course,"

Huo Feng again stole the words from Pu Sangzhi, patting his chest as if it were the most natural thing, "Auntie, you can count on us. With us around, we’ll definitely ensure Qianqian gets into a good school; Longxiang won’t be a problem."

Wu Cuidi was amused by Huo Feng, "Good, good, Longxiang is great. It’s close to home, and having you two looking after her at school, if she could get into Longxiang, that would be the best."

At this point, Lin Qianqian herself chimed in, "Mom, don’t worry, I’ll definitely make it into Longxiang for you to see!"

Wu Cuidi, rarely seeing her daughter so confident about her studies, felt a surge of emotion and was overwhelmed with gratitude...

"Well, I won’t disturb your study then. Eat more fruits; I’m going out now..."

With these quick words, Wu Cuidi got up and left the room.

"Take care, auntie! Thanks for the fruits!" freёnovelkiss.com

Huo Feng called out from behind, lively seeing off Wu Cuidi.

Soon after, only the three of them remained in the room.

Huo Feng opened the small red envelope and looked inside, three red bills; for students, that was quite a bit of money.

Just as Pu Sangzhi was about to scold him for accepting such ill-gotten gains, she hadn’t even begun to speak when she saw Huo Feng toss the red envelope to Lin Qianqian.

"Ugly girl, brother is giving you a progress reward," Huo Feng said with a satisfied smile.

Lin Qianqian hadn’t expected Huo Feng to give her the red envelope, and she was overjoyed, her eyes widening in surprise, "Brother Feng, are you really giving it to me? Is it all for me, or are we splitting it?"

Huo Feng raised an eyebrow, "Are you crazy? Splitting such a small amount? What kind of person do you think I am?"

Lin Qianqian felt so touched that her heart seemed to bloom, "Wow, Brother Feng, you’re the best! My mom didn’t give me anything for progress this time!"

"Hey, you shouldn’t say that. Didn’t you see how happy your mom was just now?"

Huo Feng pointed at Lin Qianqian and unexpectedly lectured, "Don’t think your mom only benefits others; her thoughts are all on you. She gave me the red envelope hoping I would continue coming here, hoping you’d do well. Try to understand your mom’s heart a bit and don’t be too childish!"

Lin Qianqian half-understood Huo Feng’s words, but she nodded in agreement, "Okay, I got it, Brother Feng."

Huo Feng continued, "Remember to tell your mom that I gave the red envelope to you as a progress gift. Otherwise, she’ll really think I took her red envelope! That would make it impossible for me to face her again!"

Lin Qianqian nodded cheerfully, "Okay, thank you, Brother Feng! I’ll definitely tell my mom you gave all the red envelope to me as a reward~"

After Huo Feng completed this chain of actions, Pu Sangzhi finally realized, belatedly, what he had planned.

He hadn’t refused the red envelope, which meant he had accepted the elder’s kindness.

His handing the red envelope to Lin Qianqian showed he had reciprocated the parents’ gesture in another way.

Throughout the process, the money had nothing to do with him personally, yet it flowed through his hands; it was this manipulation that highlighted Huo Feng’s high EQ.

As a result, Lin Qianqian admired him even more.

Wu Cuidi would also like him more because of this.

At this moment, Pu Sangzhi saw Huo Feng with newfound admiration.

Huo Feng seemed desultory, full of street charisma, his whole being suffused with social airs. It was precisely this aura that made all his behavior feel so comfortable...

Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but give Huo Feng a few more glances, suddenly, their gazes collided for a second. Even though she quickly looked away, he had still caught her gaze!

"Are you sneaking peeks at me?" Huo Feng asked unabashedly.

Pu Sangzhi denied it, "No, I just happened to look over there."

Huo Feng leaned on the table with one hand, his palm supporting half of his face, openly staring at Pu Sangzhi, "Just look if you want to, I’m not stopping you. I actually feel pretty good when you look at me more."

Pu Sangzhi knew he was being frivolous again, so she ignored him and didn’t engage with his banter.

She silently gathered up the red envelope, ready to start revising.

But just as she was about to put away the red envelope, Huo Feng suddenly spoke up, "Hey, how much do you have there?"

Pu Sangzhi paused for a moment, "Definitely more than you, mine is a salary."

Huo Feng clicked his tongue, "I know it’s a salary, that’s why I want to know how much. Open it and count, let me have an idea of your worth, and see if I can afford to hire you."

Pu Sangzhi replied, "Even if you can’t afford me, haven’t I been teaching you for a long time? I wasn’t planning to be so calculative with you."

Her words immediately made Huo Feng burst into laughter, "What you said sounds so good, then shall we never settle our accounts for a lifetime?"

Pu Sangzhi rolled her eyes at him, not responding to his frivolity.

Nevertheless, she still took out the red envelope and counted the money...

She had tutored Lin Qianqian for over a month, at 80 per hour, three hours a day; it amounted to about 1900 or 2000.

But, Wu Cuidi had given her 2600 in the red envelope.

Wu Cuidi said she always tutored Lin Qianqian for several extra hours, so she added a bit more money.

Thus, Pu Sangzhi received her first big earnings in life!

Huo Feng took the opportunity to tease, "Wow, girlfriend is making big money... so are we going out for a meal?"

Lin Qianqian also said, "Really?! Is Sister Sangzhi going to treat us?"
