Chapter 149: Chapter 149 Tao Jinbao Comes to Visit_1

Zhang Xian closed his book, took a deep breath, and looked at Lin Ruoyi, "Speak up! What are you stirring up exactly?"

Lin Ruoyi didn’t want to be misunderstood, realizing everyone was looking at her, she quickly said: "If you hand over the book, I will stop following you."

Zhang Xian laughed, stood up, and started to walk away, "Fine, it’s yours."

Lin Ruoyi took over the book and saw how Zhang Xian left without any hesitation, her confidence shattered instantly. What does this guy mean? Am I that undesirable?

The onlookers realized that Lin Ruoyi was following him just for a book, lost interest.

However, they genuinely admire Zhang Xian. Faced with such a delicate beauty, he ignored her entirely. Isn’t he just so cool?

"Is that heartless guy new here?" Lin Ruoyi wondered.

The guy is quite handsome. Although she wouldn’t claim she knew every student at Tsinghua University, if he was already here, she would definitely know him.

Just like there is no one at Tsinghua University who doesn’t know her. Women attracted men, and men certainly caught women’s attention. That guy just now is definitely the school’s hottest guy.

"Get someone to check on that guy. I, Lin Ruoyi, have never been disregarded by anyone."

Lin Ruoyi had lost interest in the book. She put it back in its place and hurriedly ran out of the library.

The boys who came for Lin Ruoyi’s attention saw their goddess leaving and lost the motivation to pretend. The already quiet library became even quieter.

...

TianDu City, Bishui Villa.

Xie Wuming found out that Zhang Xian went to Yantai, his sword-like eyebrows furrowed.

Right now, all he wanted was the formula in Zhang Xian’s hands. If he could cooperate with Zhang Xian, that would be great. Loads of money was waving at him.

Zhang Xian went to Yantai for no obvious reason, which irked him, who was eager for the formula. Without Zhang Xian in TianDu, how could he get the formula? Where is he going to earn a lot of money if no factory is being built?

"Boss, what should we do now?" The Seventh asked.

Xie Wuming pondered for a while, and said: "You and The Sixth go to Yantai. Keep me updated with any new developments."

...

Once out of the library, Zhang Xian began to wander around the school again.

Entering this crappy school, he felt incredibly bored, not even knowing what he was supposed to do.

At last, he found a way to pass time, and unexpectedly came across a crazy person, which only made him feel more agitated and less interested in reading.

"Zhang Xian..." A soft reprimand sounded.

Zhang Xian turned his head and saw Wen Yulan coming over with a stern face, he was stunned for a moment, then laughed and asked: "Teacher Wen, are you calling me?"

Wen Yulan asked with a cold face: "You’re not attending class, what are you doing here?"

"That, I..." Zhang Xian scratched his head, and asked Wen Yulan: "Yes, teacher, why am I here indeed?"

"You..." Wen Yulan angrily asked: "You don’t even know what you’re here for?"

"Well, teacher, I genuinely don’t know what I’m here for."

Wen Yulan was left speechless. Previously, she thought Teacher Wu misunderstood Zhang Xian. Now it seems that Zhang Xian is indeed a problem student, a serious one at that.

This guy is running around during class hours, doesn’t know what he’s doing, is there such a student?

Massaging her temples, she said earnestly: "Zhang Xian, I think we need to talk. As a student, you should prioritize your studies, not waste your valuable learning time doing nothing. You might not care now, but when you step into society, you will realize how foolish you are being."

Zhang Xian rubbed his nose and laughed, "Well, teacher, can you just let me be, let me face myself at my worst?"

Wen Yulan responded angrily: "Zhang Xian, what are you saying?"

Zhang Xian laughed: "Teacher, I’m just not cut out for studying, so please don’t bother about me."

"You..." Wen Yulan was so angry that she grabbed Zhang Xian’s ear, "Zhang Xian, is this how you should speak to your teacher?"

Zhang Xian grabbed Wen Yulan’s hand and said in a pained voice: "Teacher, please, be gentle."

"Get back to the classroom." Wen Yulan dragged Zhang Xian away.

Zhang Xian couldn’t help but feel troubled seeing Wen Yulan insisting on opposing him. He came here not to study, but to be a bodyguard. Why is she so persistent?

Of course, these thoughts remained only in his heart, he didn’t dare to voice them. If he did, he wouldn’t be so passive now.

"Are you coming or not?" Wen Yulan yelled.

Zhang Xian pleaded, "Teacher, I’m really not cut out for studying. Please, spare me."

"So, you’re not coming?"

"Teacher, I’m really not cut out for studying. I..."

Seeing how stubborn Zhang Xian was, Wen Yulan didn’t bother to say anything more. She just dragged him by his ear towards the classroom.

Perhaps, her behavior was somewhat extreme, or maybe, Zhang Xian was already mature and should have his own thoughts. However, as a teacher, she would never allow her students to neglect their studies.

"Damn..." Zhang Xian was a bit annoyed.

However, Wen Yulan was a delicate beauty, so he couldn’t get mad about such a small thing.

Undoubtedly, this was extremely embarrassing. He was already in his twenties, yet he was dragged to the class by a teacher holding his ear. This was humiliating!

"Zhang Xian, will you walk by yourself, or do I need to drag you like this?" Wen Yulan, knowing when enough is enough and knowing that dragging him around was inappropriate, walked a distance before stopping and asking.

Zhang Xian’s mouth twitched unnaturally several times before saying with a smile, "I’ll walk by myself, alright? You’re busy with important matters, go on ahead."

Wen Yulan crossed her arms and looked at Zhang Xian with a smile, "Aren’t you planning on sneaking away once I leave?"

Zhang Xian shook his head, "No, absolutely not."

Wen Yulan said, "In that case, there’s no harm in me accompanying you over."

Zhang Xian cast a resentful glance at Wen Yulan and began to walk towards the classroom glumly. To say the least, having a responsible class teacher was quite a torment for him.

...

In the classroom, Zhu Yan was listening attentively to the teacher.

When she saw Zhang Xian enter the classroom with a morose face, followed by Wen Yulan, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Others didn’t know, but she knew what the purpose of Zhang Xian coming to school. Being forced to attend class by a teacher must be quite a torment for him, right?

"I’m sorry for the interruption." Wen Yulan smiled at the teacher on the podium, then gave a warning glance at Zhang Xian before turning to leave for her office.

Zhang Xian sighed deeply and sat bored in the classroom looking around.

He sat like this until the end of the class. He was unbearably agitated during this time, sitting there like a puppet. Only when the bell rang signaling the end of the class did he gleefully jump up.

"Haha..." Zhu Yan laughed out loud after the teacher left, "Brother-in-law, Teacher Wen has taken a liking to you. You’re in for some tough times ahead!"

Zhang Xian complained, "Are you even aware of the trouble you’re causing? How do you think I feel about this?"

Xia Xiaohua chimed in, "Please, you’re a case of not knowing good fortune when you see it. Do you know how many students wish to be supervised by Teacher Wen but don’t get the chance? And you’re still unhappy?"

Zhang Xian asked incredulously, "Seriously?"

Zhu Yan smiled, "Why not? Haven’t you noticed that our Teacher Wen is very beautiful? Moreover, she’s a mature beauty; many boys like her!"

Zhang Xian wiped his nose, not denying it. Wen Yulan was indeed good, very attractive. But what did that have to do with him? Was he bold enough to flirt openly?

...

At dinner time, in the dining room.

Zhang Xian, Zhu Qing, Zhu Yan, and Liu Xiaowen were sitting around the table, eating.

"Ding Dong..."

Suddenly, a ring of the doorbell sounded.

Zhu Qing put down her chopsticks and ran to open the door. When she saw a middle-aged man standing outside, her pretty eyebrows immediately furrowed.

The visitor was none other than their Zhu’s Pharmaceuticals’ arch-rival, the general manager of Hachi Pharmaceuticals, Tao Jinbao. This guy showing up at this time definitely meant no good.

"Oh, Zhu Qing is back?" Tao Jinbao smiled and asked, "Is your mother at home?"

Zhu Qing asked with furrowed eyebrows, "General Manager Tao, why are you looking for my mother?"

Tao Jinbao smiled, "What? Aren’t you going to invite me in? Is this how Zhu Family treats guests? Even though I am Zhu’s Pharmaceuticals’ competitor, a visitor is a guest, right?"

Zhu Qing gave a cold smile, she didn’t intend to leave Tao Jinbao standing outside. With Zhang Xian around, she wanted to see what tricks this guy could pull.

"Tao Jinbao? What are you doing here?"

In the dining room, Liu Xiaowen stood up abruptly when she saw Tao Jinbao.

Currently, Hachi Pharmaceuticals and Dragonfly Pharmaceuticals were the suspects behind Zhu’s Pharmaceuticals’ predicament, and Tao Jinbao was the top suspect. On seeing Tao Jinbao, she couldn’t help but flare up.

"Sister-in-law, what’s all this?" Tao Jinbao laughed, "To be honest, I came here to help you guys."

Liu Xiaowen sneered, "Tao Jinbao, as if I don’t know what kind of person you are. You will help us?"

"Sister-in-law, how can you say that? Although we were competitors in the past, Zhu’s Pharmaceuticals is now on the brink of bankruptcy and no longer qualifies to compete with me!" Tao Jinbao laughed, "Moreover, you know that although Zhu’s Pharmaceuticals has not yet collapsed, it won’t last long. By then, you are likely to owe a huge debt and must let go!"

"You..." Liu Xiaowen gritted her teeth, "Tao Jinbao, whatever the state of Zhu’s Pharmaceuticals, it has nothing to do with you, and it’s not worth your meddling."

"Look at what you’re saying." Tao Jinbao laughed, "I am after all a businessman, and naturally prioritize profits. At the same time, I also want to give you a helping hand, sister-in-law. Don’t say that I, Tao Jinbao, am unkind. Why don’t you name a price and transfer Zhu’s Pharmaceuticals to me? Your company has issues now, and although it is still operational, its reputation is not good. If it continues like this, it will definitely go bankrupt!"

Liu Xiaowen snapped angrily, "Tao Jinbao, stop daydreaming."

Tao Jinbao said, "Sister-in-law, this is where you’re wrong. I am here to help you. Once the company goes bankrupt, Zhu’s Pharmaceuticals will be finished."
