The Goddess is a Little Pitiful, I Invested in Her! - Chapter 60

Chapter 60 – Mr. Xu, who saved the country with his approach!

In the office of Class One, Xu sat at his desk and appeared to be grading the students’ exercises. However, his curious eyes wandered towards Chen, the teacher at the desk next to him. Xu’s eyes wanted to catch a glimpse of what Chen was holding, but Chen remained protective of the materials, guarding them closely as if he was defending himself against a thief.

Especially when it was time to leave the office, Chen clung to the materials as if they were precious treasures, never letting them out of his sight, not even when he needed to go to the restroom. His diligence in safeguarding the materials was unwavering, ensuring their utmost security.

“What’s so good about those things that he won’t let me see them!” Xu grumbled.

A teacher beside him chuckled and said, “I think those are test papers from a prestigious school in the provincial capital. It’s understandable that Chen wouldn’t want to show them to you. They are internal papers from that school.”

“Hmph!” Xu seemed disdainful, but his inner vigilance reached its peak.

He had recently analyzed why his class couldn’t perform as well as Class Two.

Were the students not good enough? That couldn’t be true since their grades were similar when they entered.

Were the teachers not good? What a joke! Was he really inferior to Chen?

After much thought, Xu finally figured it out.

It was because Chen liked to enjoy exclusive privileges!

By relying on his connections in the provincial capital school, Chen often obtained some internal materials from there. The teachers there were so formidable. They not only had the leader of the college admission exam question-creation team, but they also had the finest teaching materials in the whole state.

It was clear that the internal resources from the state school were superior to the ones they used themselves.

Just imagine the teachers themselves were responsible for setting the college entrance examination papers. The idea of obtaining those materials made Xu excited.

With Chen having access to such resources, it’s no wonder that Class Two achieved excellent exam results!

What annoyed Xu the most was that Chen treated those materials like treasures and wouldn’t let him see them.

“If I were Chen, I would definitely not enjoy them alone. I would share everything with the whole grade!” Xu said loudly.

“Hehe,” other teachers sneered.

“You’re accusing me of enjoying exclusive privileges? You’re the one who enjoys them the most!”

Xu secretly made up his mind. If Chen managed to get new materials again, he would also unleash an impressive strategy!

……

Qi Yun felt that Xu’s gaze towards him today was strange. It seemed like he had something to say but hesitated and remained silent.

It wasn’t until the break that Xu walked into the classroom again, and Qi Yun thought he couldn’t hold it in any longer. But Xu looked at Lian Qingxue instead and said, “Lian Qingxue, come to my office!”

“Huh?” Lian Qingxue was puzzled.

She had always been well-behaved and hardly ever been called to the teacher’s office.

As she walked towards the office, she felt nervous.

……

“Lian Qingxue, have a seat!” Xu pointed to a chair in front of him as Lian Qingxue entered.

Lian Qingxue sat down, feeling a bit confused, wondering why Xu called her.

“Lian Qingxue, how does the teacher treat you?”

“Pretty well!” Lian Qingxue replied.

Lian Qingxue was even more puzzled.

Xu had treated her well before, but…

Why did she feel a trace of flattery in Xu’s expression?

“Well, the teacher needs your help with something. Could you do me a favor?” Xu asked.

“Me? How can I help you, teacher?”

“Well, you’ve seen it yourself. Last time, when Qi Yun taught everyone about the test papers, the effect was wonderful.

The teacher thought it would be a good idea if he could give a few more lectures to the class during the two months before the college entrance exam,” Xu explained.

“But why are you asking me?” Lian Qingxue was bewildered.

Why ask her instead of Qi Yun? Was Xu trying to sound out her?

Xu understood that Qi Yun was lazy, and if he directly approached him, he might not agree.

If his student rejected him, it would be embarrassing!

Xu’s face might not be worth much, but it didn’t mean he didn’t care about his reputation.

So he asked Lian Qingxue instead. Even if it didn’t work out, it wouldn’t be shameful, would it?

Moreover, Xu had to admit a sad fact.

Lian Qingxue’s face was much more helpful in Qi Yun’s eyes than his own!

“I’ve already told him. It’s just that I’m letting you know. If you’re willing, I’ll tell him again,” Xu said with a beaming smile.

Lian Qingxue blushed.

Although many people had said the same thing, it felt different coming from the class teacher.

It was like being caught secretly in love.

Seeing Lian Qingxue hesitating, Xu added, “Teacher isn’t demanding; I’m just letting you know. If you’re willing, then you can do that. If not, I’ll go and talk to Qi Yun.”

“Teacher, when you mentioned helping with the shop before, was it for this?” Lian Qingxue asked.

“Yes, this idea has been in the my mind for a long time,” Xu replied.

“Well… let me ask Qi Yun, but I can’t guarantee he’ll agree,” Lian Qingxue said.

“Alright!” Xu watched Lian Qingxue leave his office, feeling proud.

So, Chen is allowed to use his secret weapon? Well, I have Qi Yun!

……

“Makeup classes?” Qi Yun was surprised.

He didn’t expect Mr. Xu to be so indecisive, and that’s what he wanted to discuss.

Why not just tell him directly?

How would he know what was going on in the mind of a stubborn man in his fifties like Mr. Xu?

“Yes, he said that the last time you taught the class, the effect was wonderful, so he wants you to teach more,” Qi Yun didn’t mind. After all, he had already finished his courses before the college entrance exam.

Going for the college entrance examination now won’t be a problem at all.

Teaching the classmates would be easy.

However, he looked at Lian Qingxue.

Hadn’t the opportunity he had been waiting for finally arrived?

“So, do you want me to agree?” Qi Yun asked.

Lian Qingxue hesitated for a moment and whispered, “I do. Teacher Xu has always been good to us and helped us with the shop last time.”

Qi Yun intentionally acted as if he was reluctantly agreeing.

“To be honest, I don’t really want to… But since Qingxue wants it, I’ll agree.”

Lian Qingxue was a little touched.

“But… Qingxue, you have to do me a favor too!”

“Okay!”

Innocent Lian Qingxue fell for it again.

This move… It is called giving a little to gain a lot!
