Even though Xia Shiya knew all this, seeing Qin Xiao's troubled expression, she had no reason to force him.
Helpless, she could only say, "Qin Xiao, Teacher Xia is begging you, can you please help? My mom really can't wait any longer!"
Qin Xiao was only slightly appeased when he heard her plead: "Hmm, about this matter, I'll have to think about it carefully. The main thing is I don't want to cause trouble for my brother!"
"Do you know this?"
Xia Shiya's mouth twitched. She finally understood that Qin Xiao was about to make a condition.
She hadn't expected Qin Xiao, so young, to also play these games.
No wonder Qin Xiao kept emphasizing how difficult it was for him.
Once Xia Shiya understood, she breathed a sigh of relief and patiently asked, "Qin Xiao, is there anything you need my help with? If possible, Teacher Xia is also willing to help you."
Seeing that Xia Shiya finally understood, Qin Xiao was very pleased, but he shook his head and said, "Oh, I'm not too sure about that. How about I think about it carefully after school today!"
Although Xia Shiya was anxious upon hearing this, she could only agree. She couldn't possibly force Qin Xiao, could she?
She didn't have that ability.
So Xia Shiya nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll treat you to dinner after school. You pick the place."
Qin Xiao nodded, very satisfied with Xia Shiya's attitude.
It was good that she understood her place. As for Qin Xiao kindly helping the other party, that was absolutely impossible.
If it were Su Mengke, that would be one thing; that little girl would be eternally grateful if he treated her a little better. But were others like her?
"Alright, that's how it is then. We'll talk about everything after school!"
Qin Xiao said, already thinking in his mind about how to arrange today's plot.
Xia Shiya breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Seeing how powerful Qin Xiao was about to become, she couldn't help but say with a troubled expression, "Qin Xiao, my mom's condition has worsened and needs immediate arrangements. Can you see if you can..."
"Oh, that? I'll tell the hospital to look into the arrangements!"
Saying that, Qin Xiao took out his phone and called the hospital, asking them to make preliminary arrangements to stabilize Xia Shiya's mother's condition.
As for why he could arrange it, it was actually very simple.
Because his good elder brother invested everywhere, and coincidentally, one-third of the major hospitals in Jingyue City had Qin Lin's investments.
Although Qin Corporation was not listed, it had several listed subsidiaries, with the lowest valuation being in the hundreds of billions, and Qin Lin controlled over ninety percent of their shares.
This didn't even include the shares he controlled in other companies and groups.
However, these 'valuations' of listed groups are just for show; once they lose support, a group with a hundred-billion valuation can be acquired with tens of billions of funds.
The companies on those rankings are either controlled by numerous capitals or supported by powerful backers.
Then there are those valuations of hundreds of billions, and trillions.
In reality, truly wealthy people try not to be on the list for others to know.
Over seventy percent of those on the list are there to raise money, but they're not just taking money from ordinary people.
Qin Xiao made a phone call, and within two minutes, Xia Shiya's phone received a call from the hospital.
Seeing her hang up the phone and breathe a sigh of relief, Qin Xiao smiled and said, "Teacher Xia, don't worry. Although things are quite troublesome, I think there will always be a way!"
Xia Shiya nodded, but felt a little helpless inside.
She didn't know why Qin Xiao didn't help her directly, or if there was something he needed her help with.
With Qin Xiao's abilities, what could she possibly help him with?
As for whether Qin Xiao had any ulterior motives towards her, Xia Shiya hadn't considered it.
Because in her eyes, Qin Xiao was just a student, what bad intentions could he have?
So she wasn't very guarded against Qin Xiao; she was just curious about what he wanted to do.
Qin Xiao looked at her deeply, a meaningful smile on his lips.
Xia Shiya didn't overthink it and said to Qin Xiao, "Alright, I'll wait for you after school today. We can go to dinner together then!"
Qin Xiao nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave the office.
"President, you've been back for so long, has something happened? Did Teacher Xia make things difficult for you?!"
After returning to the classroom, Su Mengke asked curiously.
Before, she didn't even dare to say an extra word to others.
But after the gentleness Qin Xiao showed her, Su Mengke didn't maintain the same distant attitude towards Qin Xiao as she did with outsiders.
Instead, she was concerned about Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao pinched her cheek and said, "Yes, Teacher Xia spent a lot of effort teaching me!"
Hearing this, Su Mengke felt worried for Qin Xiao, but his actions also made her blush.
However, she wasn't repulsed; instead, she was very happy and blissful, feeling sweet inside.
Even if she knew that she and Qin Xiao were impossible, as long as she didn't say it out loud, fantasizing about it wouldn't cause any problems, right?
So, she didn't have any thought of resisting Qin Xiao's casual actions.
Su Mengke pursed her lips and said, "President, I will help you with student council matters. You can tell me anything you need me to do."
Hearing this, Qin Xiao smiled and leaned closer to her, saying, "You can do anything?"
The close proximity made Su Mengke blush a little, but she still forced herself to nod shyly and say, "Yes, I can also learn about student council management. And this is all what I should do!"
Seeing her innocent, naive appearance, Qin Xiao shook his head, unsure what to say.
He felt a pang of guilt.
This made Qin Xiao feel a wave of shame. He hadn't expected that he still had a conscience. It seemed he was indeed a good person after all... After school, Qin Xiao said to Su Mengke, "Mengke, you go back first. I have something to deal with with Teacher Xia!"
Su Mengke nodded, not asking what Qin Xiao was going to do.
Seeing this, Qin Xiao couldn't help but say, "You should take better care of yourself in the future. You don't need to pretend to be so sloppy!"
"With me around, no one dares to bother you, understood?"
Saying that, he brushed the hair from her eyes. Su Mengke instinctively recoiled slightly, but her good feelings for Qin Xiao and his words made her hold back.
When facing others, Su Mengke was always timid and submissive, let alone when facing Qin Xiao, for whom she had such strong feelings?
In her heart, she didn't even dare to have a single thought of refusal.
