Chapter 44 Because You Are BeautifulIn a daze, the National Day holiday was over. In seven days, Zhang Yunqi basically visited all the middle schools in Jiangchuan City. It was really tiring. No matter what era, being a grassroots salesman is always a tough job, but there is sweetness only after bitterness. He calculated that he had negotiated with more than 60 convenience store owners in total, and finally only won over 18 of them. Nine of them tried to sell the goods without paying for them, six were consignment sales, and only three paid directly in cash for wholesale. It can only be said that the reputation of the Tetris handheld game console has not yet spread. Except for the three convenience store owners who paid cash for wholesale, most of the owners were very cautious and unwilling to try it. The rest were those who were willing to give it a try. After all, it was a trial sale and a no-cost business, so any loss would be Zhang Yunqi's. In the two days after the National Day, Zhang Yunqi visited several convenience stores for trial sales. Only two convenience stores sold two units, and the remaining more than ten convenience stores did not sell any. Some bosses asked to return the products, and Zhang Yunqi smiled and asked them to try selling for another week. After all, the students went home during the National Day holiday, and how could there be business without traffic? Zhang Yunqi was still very confident in the Tetris handheld console. If he didn't have confidence, he wouldn't have sold this thing. He sold more than 400 handheld consoles in the city's No. 1 Middle School in more than a month, and he just didn't believe that he couldn't sell it in other schools. Although he was busy selling handheld game consoles every day, Zhang Yunqi never fell behind in studying and rarely missed classes. He attended his daily classes as usual. Of course, he taught himself most of the class time. Sometimes when he encountered something he didn't understand, he would be very proactive and take the initiative to find the teacher to get to the bottom of it and make sure he got it clear. He studies so hard for no other reason than to get good grades, attend a good university, give an explanation to his family and to his father who is still in prison; moreover, he took advantage of his previous life to be the top scorer in the Fengyang County high school entrance examination. If his grades drop too much, it would be a bit unreasonable, and his head teacher Jiang Lihua would definitely give him a hard time. Then he could forget about being so carefree. The management of Middle School is relatively lax. Students are free to come and go during breaks, unlike some schools which keep students in pens like animals. However, the academic requirements at Middle School are extremely strict. There are countless test questions to do every day, and many things are linked to grade ranking. Students with poor grades are more likely to feel inferior in such a school. Evening self-study is Zhang Yunqi's favorite class. On the one hand, it is relaxing and free, and you can do whatever you want. If you have an MP4, you can put on headphones and watch Japanese action movies without being disturbed. On the other hand, there are relatively few students in the evening self-study. There are only more than students in their class, and most of them are boarding students. The No. 1 Middle School in the city only has a hard requirement for boarding students like Zhang Yunqi to attend evening self-study classes, while ordinary students can choose to come to school for evening self-study, go home, or have sex with the girls they like in a dark corner of the school.
At first glance, she was a general student, but she would come to school every day for evening self-study as usual. She was the most serious and hardworking one in the class. She always sat quietly in a corner next to the window reading and studying, never chatting, and would not go home until the evening self-study ended at 9:30 in the evening. One night during evening self-study, Chu Jian encountered a very difficult question. After thinking for a long time, she couldn't find a solution. Finally, she suddenly remembered that Lin Yueying had said some time ago that Zhang Yunqi had excellent grades and was the top scorer in the high school entrance examination, so she took her exercise book to find Zhang Yunqi. Sitting in front of Zhang Yunqi was Wang Xiaokai. When he saw Chu Jian approaching, it was as if a bolt of lightning had struck his heart. He said excitedly, "Chu Jian, what's up?" Chu Jian realized that she was a bit abrupt. High school students of that era were still relatively conservative in public. She blushed and said, "I don't know how to solve a problem. I want to ask Zhang Yunqi." "Then ask." Wang Xiaokai's hopes were dashed. He bared his teeth at Zhang Yunqi, then ran around with his textbook to find Yang Wei, who was good at physics, to discuss the problem. So Chu Jian sat in his seat and discussed the problem with Zhang Yunqi. There were more than 20 students in the class at that time, but it was very quiet. Only some expressionless glances came over, wandering back and forth between Zhang Yunqi and Chu Jian. There was a bit of inexplicable emotion. Chu Jian was the study committee member of the class, good-looking and with excellent grades. She actually went to find a student who sold game consoles after class and buried his head in class and did nothing. It was really intriguing! Zhang Yunqi was also a little confused. What question did you ask him when you first met him? Although he never fell behind in his studies, he never told anyone in Class 168 that he was a cheap top scorer in the high school entrance examination. After all, that was a thing of his past life, and one should have some self-knowledge. If he failed the exam, people would laugh at him. Zhang Yunqi took Chujian's exercise book and took a look at it. Chujian was a good girl with excellent grades. She asked him an extremely difficult math question, which he didn't know how to do. He couldn't find a solution after thinking for a long time. Zhang Yunqi was not embarrassed at all. He thought that saving face and suffering in vain was a childish trick, so he told Chu Jian directly that he would not do it. Chu Jian was stunned for a moment, thinking that this question might be too difficult, so he pursed his lips and said, "How about we ask the math teacher?" Zhang Yunqi smiled and said, "Just go and ask, and then tell me how to solve it." Chu Jian said very seriously: "Not very good, I think the teacher's explanation will be clearer and more detailed. If you want to learn this type of questions, you'd better go with me." Zhang Yunqi found that this girl was really serious about studying, so he got up and went with her to find the math teacher. The math teacher of Class 168 was called Lin Cong. He was very young and graduated from Xiangnan Normal University. He was from a famous family, but a little frivolous. He took good care of the beautiful girls in the class. Tonight he was in the next class supervising the students in the evening self-study. Each class in the school has a teacher for evening self-study, who is responsible for supervising the students and answering their questions. Zhang Yunqi and Chu Jian came to the next class and found Lin Cong. He was very happy and looked at Chu Jian with a smile. He was also very patient when answering questions. Zhang Yunqi was standing behind and saw Lin Cong's hand holding the pen touching Chu Jian's arm intentionally or unintentionally several times. But Chu Jian was a simple girl after all, and she didn't notice anything unusual and listened to Lin Cong's explanation carefully. Zhang Yunqi thought about it and felt that this was not a big deal. He reached out and pulled Chu Jian back, and said to Lin Cong, "Thank you, teacher. I know how to solve this problem." Without waiting for Lin Cong to speak, he pulled Chu Jian away from the next class. In the hallway, the confused Chu Jian said, "You got it? Teacher Lin only explained half of it."
Zhang Yunqi didn't know how to do it at all. He said, "I know how to do it, but I need to organize my thoughts. I'll tell you how to solve this problem tomorrow." Chu Jian pursed her lips and said, "You'd better tell me tonight, otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night." Zhang Yunqi was speechless. To be honest, Chu Jian’s persistence in studying reminded him of himself in his previous life. Back in the classroom, Chu Jian was still sitting in Wang Xiaokai's seat, so Zhang Yunqi picked up a pen and started solving the problem again. He had also heard Lin Cong say a few words just now, so he was not completely clueless like he was at the beginning. While waiting for him to solve the problem, Chu Jian saw a copy of The Thorn Birds tucked into his pile of books. He was startled and asked, "Yunqi, did you buy this copy of The Thorn Birds?" Zhang Yunqi nodded: "Yes." Chu Jian pursed his lips and said, "Can you lend it to me to have a look?" Zhang Yunqi responded casually with "OK". He was being tortured to death by the math problem in front of him. He racked his brains for more than half an hour, but still couldn't find the correct solution. What the hell! Being friends with a top student is really hard. It's more fun to play with little fools like Wang Xiaokai and Tian Zhuangzhuang. Seeing that the evening study session was about to end, Zhang Yunqi had not yet solved the puzzle. He raised the white flag in surrender and said to Chu Jian with a wry smile: "Be prepared to have sleepless nights tonight. I can't solve the puzzle." When Chu Jian heard Zhang Yunqi say this, she felt a little embarrassed. In order to solve this problem for her, Zhang Yunqi wasted most of his evening study time. She was a little afraid that he would be frustrated, so she said seriously, "It's okay, we'll go see Teacher Lin tomorrow." "Don't go to Lin Cong to ask questions again." "why?" "Because you are beautiful..." ****** (End of this chapter)
