This foolish man truly seemed a little dim-witted. Why hadn’t they realized this earlier?
Chen Jiahang didn’t know why Chen Qiang looked so surprised.
He frowned and wrote on the ground, “What’s wrong with you? Was there something wrong with the words I said earlier?”
Chen Qiang said, “No, of course not. It’s all good. But, haven’t you heard about condoms?”
Chen Jiahang froze and his brows knitted even tighter together as he looked at Chen Qing in confusion.
He didn’t know what a condom was.
“What is that?” he asked doubtfully.
Chen Qiang was speechless.
Right, so this seemingly dull-witted man was truly a dimwit. He couldn’t believe that such a foolish man would still exist in this world.
“It is…” Chen Qiang thought for a moment before he smacked Chen Jiahang’s shoulder and said ironically, “It is something that will let you sleep with her but not get her pregnant. You’d be able to get this from the supermarket or drugstore. I can guarantee that you wouldn’t feel like doing the night shift after you’ve purchased this.”
Then, Chen Qiang quickly stood up for their boss had arrived.
They would be scolded and fined if they were caught chatting during work hours.
Chen Jiahang quickly picked up his tools and went back to work.
However, he had already committed his fellow worker’s words to memory and knew what he should buy.

The next morning, He Xiyan rose at her usual time. Then, she went to sell food at her stall in the market and only packed up when it was 10 AM.
After she finished packing, she was supposed to return home to rest and have lunch but the arts school that she was teaching at suddenly notified her to go over. Apparently, their principal would like to speak to her.
She didn’t return home but took a taxi straight to school.
She had been teaching at this school for around four months and taught two lessons each day. If she earned $200 per class, she would be making $12,000 a month, so this was a sizable sum.
This arts school is one of the more famous schools around Li City. Hundreds of students were enrolled in this school to learn how to draw, and this was a school that primarily focused on teaching children and talented students who were artistically inclined.
She was new so she had always been teaching the beginner classes, which also meant that she was teaching the younger children.
He Xiyan made a beeline for the office after she reached the school. The principal of the school was waiting for her inside. The principal’s last name was Wang and he was more than 50 years in age.
“Hello, Ms. Chen,” Principal Wang gestured for He Xiyan to take a seat.
He Xiyan greeted the principal with a smile.
She didn’t know what the principal wanted from her but she felt very grateful to this principal for giving her the chance. When she had first come to interview at the school, many teachers who were supposed to interview her told her to go home when she couldn’t produce any university transcripts to prove her skillsets. However, the principal had liked her portfolio and after asking her to make two sketches on the spot, he thought she was very talented and hired her.
“Sir, is there a problem?” He Xiyan asked with a smile.
Principal Wang smiled too.
“Ms. Chen, according to our performance review last month, the children you had taught had improved rapidly and their parents were full of praises for you. You are probably one of the most professional teachers we currently have, so I’d like to ask if you’d mind taking on more classes. My intention is to let you teach two intermediate sketch classes and two beginner oil painting classes. Let me know your thoughts.”
