Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 734: Are These Primary School Students Arguing?

Chapter 734: Chapter 734: Are These Primary School Students Arguing?

Old Sir Jiang was especially happy.

For many years, the Jiang Family had not produced a number one, and Jiang Cheng had finally given him an opportunity to hold his head high and puff out his chest.

He immediately went for a stroll around the teahouse outside the community.

Sure enough, all those old men were sighing over their own grandsons’ grades, and when they saw him coming, the sighs grew even louder.

"Old Sir Jiang, what on earth did Jiang Cheng eat to grow up with such good grades?"

"Who was it that said Brother Jiang didn’t know how to raise children? Look, hasn’t he raised a district topper?"

"Indeed, it’s better to be raised by your own. What’s the use of having a blood relation? My own kid ended up being the last in the district ranking, nearly drove me to an early grave!"

Jiang Zhao Yuan was extremely proud, showing off all morning before going home. At noon, he boldly swept his hand and directly booked the most expensive Chinese restaurant in the Capital to celebrate for Jiang Cheng.

He even called Jiang Yan back.

In the past, Jiang Yan would definitely have been so angry that he’d smash bowls and chopsticks and even hire someone to beat up Jiang Cheng.

But ever since he found out Jiang Cheng’s true identity, he had been overwhelmed with guilt.

Despite being incredibly busy with the group, he had rushed back immediately after getting a call from Old Sir Jiang.

The whole family had already settled down in the private dining room.

When Jiang Yan pushed the door open and entered, half of the dishes had already been served.

He frowned discontentedly, "Why didn’t you wait for me to start the meal?"

Jiang Zhao Yuan gave him a disdainful look, "How big of a shot are you? If you had scored a district number one, I wouldn’t just arrange a meal for you — I’d book every restaurant in the Capital for you to eat at."

Jiang Yan sat down sulkily next to Jiang Li.

"I’d rather die than study."

As he spoke, he took out a wrapped package from his bag and handed it to Jiang Cheng, who was sitting on the other side of Jiang Li.

"Here, a gift for you."

Jiang Cheng looked at him somewhat surprised, accepted it, and then said with a moved expression,

"Brother, you’re too kind. This is the first time I’ve received a gift you prepared."

No sooner had he spoken than Jiang Yan received a slap from Old Sir Jiang.

"You rascal, didn’t you buy anything for your brother during his birthday? Didn’t you ask me for money many times?!"

Jiang Yan: "....."

He knew this guy would spout nothing good!

Jiang Yan, who took a hit for no reason, resentfully ate a piece of meat, then whispered to Jiang Li:

"Guess what I got him?"

Jiang Li silently watched him.

"Heh, it’s the latest gaming console. Jiang Cheng will definitely get addicted to playing games over the winter break, and his grades will drop. Wait and see the consequences!" After saying this, he added, "I went from third-last to dead last because of video games."

"Jiang Yan," Jiang Li said casually, "do you know the difference between a top student and a failing student?"

"What is it?"

"It’s because the top student has self-control, but the failing student doesn’t." She smiled faintly, "Even if you move all the world’s gaming consoles in front of Jiang Cheng, he would still come first, whereas you, even if thrown back into primitive society, would still end up last."

Jiang Yan: "....."

Shit!

If he had known, he wouldn’t have bothered buying that gaming console!

It cost him over five thousand bucks!

After the meal, Old Sir Jiang took Jiang Cheng for a walk.

Jiang Yan had to return to the set as well.

Shao Changqing had thoughtfully sent someone to pick him up.

The car door opened, and it was the expressionless Shang Shuyue.

"Please get in the car, Mr. Big Star Jiang."

When she saw Jiang Li behind Jiang Yan, a glimmer of life finally appeared on her face.

"Lili!" freeweɓnøvel.com

Jiang Li smiled and said, "I’m free this afternoon. Can I come with you to the set to have a look?"

"Sure, sure, of course," Shu Yue said as she ushered the person into the car.

Jiang Yan, left standing there, "....."

Whose ride was this supposed to be, his or Jiang Li’s?

With the addition of Jiang Li, Shu Yue’s enthusiasm seemed to have skyrocketed.

She even bustled about in the nanny van, serving Jiang Li fruits and pouring tea.

It didn’t take long for Jiang Yan to become displeased.

"Hey, you’re my assistant," he protested, "how come you never look this eager when you work for me, always with that sour face?"

Shu Yue rolled her eyes.

"Are you and Jiang Li the same?"

"Heh," Jiang Yan sat up straight, "keep it up, and watch me not pay you."

With a "smack," Shu Yue slapped the water glass down on the table.

"Do I need that pittance? If my practical course teacher hadn’t thought my report was well done and let me stay, I wouldn’t!"

"Well then, off you go. Be Luo Xingmu’s assistant next door, I won’t stop you."

"Would love nothing more!"

"Haha!"

Jiang Li, on the side, "....."

Were they in elementary school squabbling?

She wished she had not gotten on this car.

Soon, the car arrived at the Nancheng Film and Television Shooting Base.

The place was surrounded by mountains, the cold wind biting in the deep winter.

Jiang Li wrapped her scarf tighter as she entered the shooting stage and, before she could get a clear look inside, was embraced in a full hug.

"Jiang Li!" Bai Lu squealed in delight, "What brings you here? Are you here to see me?!"

Following the commotion, Luo Xingmu also ran over.

"Sister Jiang!"

The group immediately surrounded Jiang Li.

It took considerable effort for her to extricate herself from the crowd.

"I happen to be free this afternoon, so I came to watch you all shoot."

Hearing this, Bai Lu nervously glanced behind her.

"Your brother didn’t come with you, did he?"

"You mean Jiang Cheng?"

Bai Lu nodded.

Jiang Li was curious, "Why have you become so afraid of him?"

Bai Lu chuckled awkwardly, "Maybe because I’m not good at studying, I have a bit of a fear of academic aces."

"Pfft," Luo Xingmu laughed on the side, "Sister Bai Lu, oh wait, Sister Bai Ying, maybe you should come to me for some tutoring, my grades are good."

"Hisss—" Bai Lu put her hands on her hips, "How come you call Jiang Li ’Sister’ and I’m ’Little Sister’?"

Luo Xingmu squinted his eyes, "Because Sister Jiang is amazing; she’s even the producer. I need to stay on her good side."

Bai Lu: "....."

First time seeing someone so blatantly obsequious!

Jiang Li found their noisy bickering a bit headache-inducing, so she looked around and found an excuse to leave.

"Where’s Director Shao? I’ll go ask him about work."

"Oh, Changqing," Yin Le chimed in, "he’s inside doing business."

"Doing business?" Jiang Li paused, "With whom?"

Yin Le shook her head, "Didn’t see, Changqing has been busy in his office with that person since early morning, they didn’t even come out for lunch, I haven’t seen them."

"Alas, Sister Li, you don’t know, our movie’s production is burning money by the minute, there’s hardly any left in the account. Changqing is trying to secure more sponsorship, especially since..."

Watching Yin Le hesitating, Jiang Li inquired, "Especially since what?"
