"Do you need a cashier and an accountant?"

Factory Director Fang asked, understanding Jiang Cheng’s intention: "Do you have a candidate?"

Jiang Cheng shook her head.

"Even if I did, such important positions should be open for competition."

She didn’t want to get involved in a factory’s finances.

Factory Director Fang pointed a finger at Jiang Cheng.

"You, you, how does your brain work?"

Jiang Cheng instantly put on her trademark smug expression.

"Nothing much, just a bit smarter and a bit prettier."

Factory Director Fang shook his head with a smile.

Before, he wanted to mock her; now, he felt like nodding along with her?

After chatting with Factory Director Fang for a while, Jiang Cheng left a book of exercises for Fang’s daughter.

Fang’s wife saw it and treasured it, embarrassedly asking: "Can I use it? I want it for the high school child—"

"Of course! These exercises are meant to be done. Feel free to use them; when you’re done with this one, ask me for more."

Jiang Cheng’s generosity made Fang’s wife want to give everything from home to Jiang Cheng.

"Really, I can’t take more!"

"I can’t fit it all!"

Jiang Cheng once again returned with more things.

When she went back to the courtyard to deliver things, Grandma Shen asked with a twitch in her eye: "Are you sure you went to give stuff away?"

"What can I do... I’m just too popular, they insisted on giving me things, chased me for two miles!"

Grandma Shen chuckled: "Two miles... You’re selling yourself short! Your popularity stretches for at least ten!"

Jiang Cheng laughed heartily, and Grandma Shen helped organize the items.

After setting down the things, Jiang Cheng carried the next batch to Master Ma’s home.

Cycling all the way there, she stopped at Master Ma’s door, knocked, in one swift move.

"Coming!"

Master Ma slowly came to open the door.

Seeing Jiang Cheng made him immediately want to close it.

"Don’t!"

"Your door has already been hit by my nose!"

Jiang Cheng blocked him, and Master Ma, resigned, opened the door again.

"Why are you here again? Your brother finished a week’s work already."

"I know!"

Jiang Cheng happily carried the items inside: "I just came back from the countryside, exchanged for all these good things, keep them and enjoy."

Master Ma stood still.

He truly didn’t know how to deal with Jiang Cheng.

Chase her away?

But she’s genuinely kind-hearted.

The agreed week passed, and she truly didn’t disturb him afterward.

"You’ve repaid what you owe, why bring more stuff?"

Master Ma’s tone was less than friendly, but Jiang Cheng didn’t mind at all.

"Master Ma, I’m just building a good relationship in advance; life is long, if anything goes wrong, I can come straight to you."

Even Master Ma’s face twitched at Jiang Cheng’s shameless honesty.

What on earth did this girl grow up eating??

"I’ve put everything away; keep a count for me, these are my evidence of flattery!"

With that, Jiang Cheng left, truly without disturbing Master Ma further.

Master Ma looked at the array of snacks and drinks, the smile that began to surface suppressed again.

"Wasting money."

After tidying up, Master Ma felt slightly more relaxed.

Jiang Cheng returned to the courtyard, carrying items to give to night school teachers and students, again struggling under the weight.

Outside the night school.

From far, far away, Jiang Cheng started waving and calling.

"Uncle Wang—"

"Oh—Jiang Cheng!"

Uncle Wang clapped his thigh, quickly rushing out from his post room, opening the gate, eyes narrowed with laughter.

"Why carry all these things? Quick, give them to me, I’ll take them for you!"

The two strenuously unloaded the items and parked the bicycle.

Jiang Cheng cheerfully followed Uncle Wang into the post room, took out peanuts and sunflower seeds, and they snacked together.

When night school started, as someone entered, Jiang Cheng stood to greet them.

Opening bags of dates, seeds, peanuts, and hazelnuts for students to grab a handful each.

In just a moment, the entire night school knew Jiang Cheng had arrived.

Principal Wang looked down from his upstairs office window, eyes full of laughter.

Of course, it’s Jiang Cheng.

Her arrival made the night school atmosphere completely different—like a fair!

After Jiang Cheng finished distributing things at the entrance and chatted enough with Uncle Wang.

She took the remaining heap of things to the teachers’ office.

After making rounds of concern, Jiang Cheng finally left the office and went to Principal Wang’s office.

Seeing her, Principal Wang jokingly remarked: "Aren’t you busy enough."

Jiang Cheng familiarly dragged a chair over and sat down.

"It’s not about being busy; I just can’t bear to disappoint everyone’s genuine affection for me."

Principal Wang: Still Jiang Cheng’s usual attitude.

Jiang Cheng and Principal Wang talked about heading to the provincial city, knowing they’d leave the day after tomorrow.

It’s not just her going; several other night school students would join.

"Just a few people?"

"These few are already good! Previous years we couldn’t even gather this many."

At this point, Principal Wang looked at Jiang Cheng.

"Thanks to you, our students’ average level has improved significantly this year."

"Usually this time of year, when we go to the provincial city, our night school always falls behind, just there to make up the numbers."

"This time it’s tough too, just aiming for participation."

Jiang Cheng simply responded, not saying much more.

"Oh, Jiang Cheng, when you return from the provincial city this time, how about I handle your graduation?" And I’ve contacted our high school principal; you just need to take one exam, and they’ll issue you a high school diploma."

"How does that sound?"

How does it sound?

Of course, it’s great!

Jiang Cheng thanked him, showering Principal Wang with compliments.

Principal Wang nodded approvingly.

Seems Jiang Cheng’s praise hits just right!

After agreeing, Jiang Cheng prepared to leave.

By the time she left, it was already completely dark, causing both Principal Wang and Uncle Wang some concern.

Just before their concern could grow, Shen Que arrived.

Tall with a red scarf wrapped around his neck.

Principal Wang & Uncle Wang: This... can’t be described.

"Shen Que!"

"Hey! I’m here to get you."

Shen Que’s enthusiastic response, coming over, he took off the red scarf from his neck and naturally wrapped it around Jiang Cheng.

"This way the scarf stays warm, and also this!"

Shen Que took out a pair of warm gloves from his pocket.

Jiang Cheng saw Shen Que’s bulging pockets, knowing they held bottles filled with hot water.

"So warm!"

Jiang Cheng openly expressed her delight, as Shen Que silly smiled at her saying: "As long as you like it."

Principal Wang & Uncle Wang: Turns out the fools are us!

"Really love it!"

Jiang Cheng generously praised, making Shen Que grin foolishly.

Uncle Wang nudged Principal Wang, asking quietly: "What is this big fool doing?"

"The factory director."

Uncle Wang: ?????? 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Principal Wang nodded affirmatively: "Seriously."

Uncle Wang worriedly asked: "Is this brain really okay?"

Principal Wang shrugged: "That’s because he’s facing Jiang Cheng; away from her, he’s a wolf!"

Uncle Wang oh’ed, then proudly laughed.

"Still, our Jiang Cheng is impressive!"

Principal Wang: "Absolutely!"
