Chapter 542: Chapter 542 Private Booking Event_1 Chapter 542: Chapter 542 Private Booking Event_1 “It’s not like I’m bragging.”
He Shasha was about to retort when Jiang Nanfei immediately covered her mouth, “Sorry! Really sorry!”
Upon reaching the door, He Shasha finally struggled free from Jiang Nanfei’s hand, “Wait, I still need to treat everyone!”
“Stay outside.” Jiang Nanfei pushed her out and turned around to walk back to the ordering counter, “Hi, how much food do you have left? I plan to buy everything.”
The cashier looked at her in surprise, unable to react for a while.
The manager was more quick-witted. He had seen everything that just happened and dismissed it as a prank. But now, the customer was actually here to pay?
The newly-minted valedictorian?
“Hello, hello, just tell me what you need.”
Jiang Nanfei took out five thousand yuan that she had prepared for the trip from her wallet and placed it on the cashier’s counter, “Sorry, this is all I have right now, I don’t know if it’s enough.”
Even after she finished speaking, she felt her thoughts were a bit muddled and her words were all over the place. Although she could guess her score beforehand, once it actually happened, she was excited inside despite her calm exterior.
In her previous life, she didn’t even have a chance to take the college entrance exam, let alone attend college.
In this life, she had remarkably become the valedictorian of the province, bringing honour to her parents, grandparents and Qi Li Middle School.
It would be a lie to say she wasn’t excited.
“It’s enough! It’s more than enough!” The manager looked at her excitedly, “You… you’re really Jiang Nanfei? The freshly announced valedictorian of the province?”
‘Freshly out of the oven’ refers to buns, right? How did he come up with such a weird descriptor?
“Shh! Please lower your voice.” She gestured for the manager to lower his volume. The manager and cashier immediately turned red.
Jiang Nanfei, in her fear of being overheard, overlooked it and said, “My friend just promised to treat everyone. We’ll keep these things for our treat. Could you please use this money to serve guests until it’s used up?”
“Sure, sure…” The manager excitedly rubbed his hands together, “Since you’re the valedictorian, we can offer you a free meal.”
“No need, thank you. We better get going.” Jiang Nanfei looked around and quietly slipped out. Outside, she found Shasha standing alone laughing to oneself. “What are you doing? Are you that happy?”
“Of course I’m happy. You scoring as the top student in the province makes me happier than if I did it myself.”
Jiang Nanfei’s eyes were hot and her heart was warm.
“Let’s go! Let’s celebrate.”
Meanwhile, at Qi Li Middle School, intense final exams were underway. All students sat in re-arranged examination halls, and teachers diligently invigilated. Teachers not invigilating were held in the school’s largest office, awaiting the results.
All senior-year teachers were present.
They were there because school was over for senior year students and they didn’t have regular teaching duties. Today was also the day the college entrance exam results were announced.
While the students were nervous about the college entrance exam, the teachers were even more so. They could pride themselves on coaching successful students. What teacher wouldn’t want to prove themselves by nurturing talents?
The office didn’t have a television, but someone had somehow brought their sixteen-inch black-and-white TV from home.
A teacher had also turned on a radio.
“What are you doing with all this equipment?” Other teachers were taken aback when they entered the room.
“Checking college entrance exam scores.”
