After seeing Wang Ting's performance, Teacher Qian believed Qiu Ying's words even more. After all, Wang Ting had a reputation for being arrogant, so it wasn't surprising that she would do such a thing. "Write a self-reflection letter! If there's a next time, I'll invite your parents to school and listen to you reflect on yourself on the podium!"
After letting them return to their seats in the classroom, Teacher Qian publicly said that he would punish Wang Ting by letting her clean the classroom for a month!
Because she had been humiliated in public by Qiu Ying, Wang Ting clenched her fists and a trace of ruthlessness flashed across her eyes!
Bai Zhen gave her a thumbs up and said to Qiu Ying with admiration, "Little Yingying, you're awesome!"
Qiu Ying smiled. "Plotting to defeat your opponent is the best way. Don't just think about using force to solve the problem. Moreover, it's in public. Isn't this letting her have dirt over you?"
When Bai Zhen heard this, she immediately asked, "What if it's not in public?!"
Qiu Ying smiled slyly. "Then protect yourself from harm."
Bai Zhen's eyes lit up. "Little Yingying, I understand!"
Jiang Lin chuckled when he heard this and looked at Qiu Ying with a hint of affection. Jiang Lin had thought that Qiu Ying's way of doing things was to use strategy, but he didn't expect that in private, she also liked to take revenge in such a straightforward manner.
Qiu Ying was distracted in class. She thought about her conflict with Wang Ting for a while and thought about the WeChat group photo she saw during morning self-study. After daydreaming for half the class, she took out her phone and found the WeChat of the boss of the dance studio, Sister Xi. She asked her to pay her 500 yuan in advance.
Sister Xi transferred the money quickly. Qiu Ying thanked her after taking it, then sent a message to Jiang Lin: Are you free tomorrow after training? I'd like to treat you to a meal.
When Jiang Lin saw this, he thought of Qiu Ying and Wang Ting's argument during the break just now and sighed that Qiu Ying was finally going to do something with him. He suppressed the smile on his face and quickly replied, "I'm free."
At the teachers' dormitory.
Yao Yu and Lin Zhao realized that Jiang Lin had already changed his outfit several times.
Yao Yu stared at his phone and said, "Aren't you going for running training? After changing your outfit so many times, there's only the smell of sweat left."
Lin Zhao chuckled.
Jiang Lin rolled his eyes and finally chose the latest season Haute Couture sportswear that had just been delivered from the capital.
After more than a week of targeted training, Qiu Ying could now run 12 minutes and 35 seconds.
When Jiang Lin saw the results, he smiled and said, "Pretty good. At first, you were almost at the 17-minute mark. After another four days of training, you can try to break through the 12-point mark."
Qiu Ying looked at the latest results and smiled from the bottom of her heart.
After training, the two of them went to the food street beside the school.
Jiang Lin chose a coconut chicken restaurant. After the dishes were served, Qiu Ying said seriously, "Jiang Lin, I'm really grateful to you for my huge improvement."
Jiang Lin leaned back in his chair and smiled lazily. "You're welcome. I said I'd definitely help you get a ranking."
Halfway through the meal, Qiu Ying got two bowls of soup, one of which she placed on Jiang Lin's desk and said with a smile, "I'll toast you with soup in lieu of wine. Thank you for taking care of me all this time."
Jiang Lin's smile faded at that. "What do you mean?"
Qiu Ying still had a gentle smile on her face. "I'm quite embarrassed to have taken up so much of your time. There are still four days left. I'll train according to your style. I don't want to trouble you to follow my training schedule every day."
Jiang Lin sneered when he heard this. "Qiu Ying, you're quite good at burning bridges, but this bridge hasn't even been built yet. Are you in such a hurry to tear it down?"
Qiu Ying said, "They're different bridges to begin with. They can't be built together, so why waste time?"
Jiang Lin understood what Qiu Ying meant. She was hinting that the two of them were from different worlds and wouldn't be together even if they wasted time.
Jiang Lin laughed in anger. He threw the chopsticks he was holding hard on the table, got up, and walked out of the restaurant.
Jiang Lin's reaction was expected by Qiu Ying. These high and mighty young masters had gotten whatever they wanted since they were young. When his ego was bruised, how could he not be angry?
In the end, Jiang Lin and Qi Yue were all in the same circle. How could they really take a woman seriously?
