In the hospital ward.
When Jiang Wan saw Rong Qi returned, she couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Rong, Where’s my Big Brother?”
Rong Qi said in a businesslike tone, “Director Jiang has been very busy recently.”
“Brother Rong, don’t lie to me.” Jiang Wan’s expression was gloomy. “Big Brother doesn’t want to see me, so he asked you to come instead.”
Rong Qi tried to persuade her. “Miss Jiang, you mustn’t think like that.”
Jiang Wan’s lips twitched but her smile was bitter. “You used to call me Miss Wan Wan, but now you’re just like Big Brother. You don’t call Wan Wan anymore.”
Rong Qi changed the topic. “Miss Jiang, I brought your favorite dishes today. President Jiang asked me to buy them for you.”
“If he really wanted to, he should have come himself.”
Rong Qi didn’t say anything and placed the packed food box in front of Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan vented her anger on Rong Qi and realized that she had done something wrong. She apologized, “Sorry, Brother Rong. I was being too stubborn and made things difficult for you.”
Then, she lowered her head and opened the food box.
The dishes in the lunchbox were two meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and one soup. It was a well-balanced and perfectly matched meal. They looked, smelled, and tasted delicious. One look and one could tell that they were appetizing.
Jiang Wan sighed. “I didn’t expect Big Brother to still remember my preference.”
Rong Qi held back and didn’t say anything. Actually, this wasn’t the dish that Jiang Chenglang had chosen. He had only ordered him to send the food over. He didn’t order those dishes. Rong Qi had chosen it according to what he could remember of Jiang Wan’s preferences.
Forget it. Let’s just treat it as a beautiful misunderstanding.
Jiang Wan ate the food in small bites and suddenly asked, “Brother Rong, have you eaten?”
“I have.”
“Sorry for troubling you to bring this food all the way here.” Jiang Wan said gratefully, “Since you’ve sent it here, and there’s I don’t need anything else, you should go back to work.”
“It’s okay. I’ll sit with Miss Jiang for a while.”
“Thank you, Brother Rong.” Jiang Wan smiled sweetly, finally revealing her first smile today. Then, she pretended to ask casually, “Brother Rong, do you know the reason why brother is so cold to me now?”
Rong Qi said, “I won’t interfere with Director Jiang’s personal affairs.”
Jiang Wan pouted. “I know this is your professional principle but I thought Big Brother would say something to you. After all, you’re his right-hand man. Forget it forget it. Forget that I asked this question, but…”
She asked with a drawl, “Can you do me a favor?”
“What is it, Miss Jiang.”
“Help me call Big Brother, please. Tell him that I have something important to tell him.”
Jiang Wan lowered her eyes. Her long and thick eyelashes cast a shadow over her eyes, making it so that other people were unable to see the emotions in her eyes. The only thing they would feel was that the person sitting on the hospital bed was quite lonely.
She was disappointed and muttered to herself, “It’s been so long. Father and Mother have passed away. There’s no need to hide this matter anymore, right…”
“Otherwise, Big Brother will really not want me anymore…”
…
In the school, in the teacher’s office.
A few students were listening to Cheng Maoshi’s teachings.
“The preliminary examinations for the five-subject examination are about to begin. This round of preliminary examinations will eliminate about 60% of the competition. All of you, do well in the examinations and strive to enter the semi-finals!”
A High had the highest number of applicants compare to any other school. There were five applicants while other schools within the capital only had a maximum of three applicants.
After all, this was a national-level examination. It was a very prominent exam and the threshold was relatively high.
The other schools had to go through multiple rounds of selection before they would put forth their list of applicants. It was the same for A High, with the exception of Feng Junhao and Jiang Yu.
