"Students, while I know youâre excited about seeing the Goddess, please remember that weâre still in class. Just because I donât say anything doesnât mean I donât know what youâre doing, so I hope all of you can exercise some restraint," Li Qing knew exactly what was going on in the minds of her students. Naturally, the male student whoâd been tossing papers at Shen Jingbin hadnât escaped her gaze either. However, singling others out wasnât pleasant, so she decided to show some kindness and issued a warning to the class instead.
When the students heard this, all of them; be it those who were scheming or those who werenât, instantly felt a chill run down their spines and paid attention to the lesson.
It might have been Abbess Liâs warnings, but Shen Jingbin didnât receive any more unknown balls of paper for the second half of the lesson. Even the fervent gazes that were directed at her from all sides of the lecture hall had been greatly reduced.
Xiaohe and co only had this one lesson in the morning, and it was almost ten by the time they were done with the lecture. After pondering over it for a bit, Shen Jingbin decided to have a stroll through one of the food streets at the schoolâs back gate with her roommates, before returning to First High and picking up Qu Yanxin. With her mind made up, she gave Shen Jingchen a call to ask if heâd be interested in coming along.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Shen Jingchenâs two roommates had already left for their internships, while his one remaining roommate was preparing for an entrance exam. After playing around for a bit with this remaining roommate that he had a rather good relationship with, Shen Jingchen received a call from Shen Jingbin. They immediately agreed to meet her and excitedly rushed out the door after tidying themselves up.
Whatâs worth mentioning was that Shen Jingchenâs roommates were also Shen Jingbinâs fans.
In the past, most of the students would immediately pack up and leave once the bell rang. However, for today, the lecture hall was still packed with people even though it had been awhile since the lesson had ended. A closer inspection revealed that the ones who left made up a very small portion of the class.
After she tidied up the lectern, Li Qing looked up to see the rest of the students still milling about the lecture hall. Sweeping her gaze about, she found that Shen Jingbin still sitting at the back of the class and realized why everyone was still around.
With slow, measured steps, Li Qing approached Shen Jingbin and co.
"Shen Jingbin, whyâd you suddenly feel like coming to attend my class?"
Shen Jingbin was currently chatting with Huajuan and the rest when she heard someone call out her name from behind her. Her very first reaction after that was to immediately think of who the voice belonged to before she turned around.
After realizing who the person standing in front of her was, Shen Jingbin immediately shot up from her seat and said, "Teacher Li."
Li Qing nodded her head at Shen Jingbin and said, "I didnât really approve of you ditching classes originally, but after today, I think you not attending is a good thing. These brats already have enough trouble focusing on normal days, and now with you around, itâs even worse."
A rare look of embarrassment surfaced on Shen Jingbinâs face when she was teased by Li Qing. "Teacher Li, please donât make fun of me."
"I heard youâve maxed out your course credits?"
"Thatâs right."
"Not bad. What do you plan to do next time? Do you plan to take the entrance exams or look for a job?"
"I donât think Iâll be taking the entrance exams."
Li Qing had long since expected this outcome. To someone like Shen Jingbin, sitting for an entrance exam was a waste of time.
She then shot another glance at the crowd sitting around Shen Jingbin and said, "You guys have something on after this, right? Then I wonât hold you back. As for the rest of you, donât only think of enjoying yourselves all the time. Iâll be taking a look at the homework I gave out last time, so make sure you do a good job. Ask Shen Jingbin if thereâs anything youâre unsure of. You should make good use of your connections since youâre acquainted with someone as intelligent as her."
Huajuan, Xiaohe, and Jiangmeng very obediently nodded their heads.
"We understand. Thank you, Teacher Li."
Li Qing opened her mouth again and felt like exhorting them once more when she was interrupted by her handphoneâs ringtone. She picked up her phone and glanced at Shen Jingbinâs group, before she then stepped out of the lecture hall and received her call.
"My god, baby girl was almost scared to death. My legs turned to jelly the moment Abbess Li looked at me!" Came Huajuanâs disappointing exclamation.
The rest of them eyed her with disdain.
"Jingjing, you need to leave before eleven, right? Whereâs Shen Jingchen right now?" Jiangmeng said.
"He just left the dormitory so he shouldnât be too long."
As she said that, Li Qing walked back into the lecture hall and swept a glance across the room. Seeing that many of the students were still lingering behind, she raised her voice and said, "Itâs a good thing so many of you are still around. In that case, Iâll just let the ones here know, so that all of you can inform the rest."
Everyoneâs attention was drawn to what she said.
"Iâve just been informed that if all goes well, a very accomplished entrepreneur will be here to give a speech the same time next week. This speech will mainly be directed at the third year students. However, any second years interested are also free to drop by. The school has especially arranged it for you students of the Management Department, so everyone needs to be present. Iâll be monitoring the attendance very strictly. Class monitors of the third year classes; please take note and inform your classmates later on to ensure that everyone has been informed," On top of teaching the second and third year students Marketing, Li Qing was also the head of the third year cohort.
The lecture hall immediately fell into an uproar once she finished speaking.
Li Qing walked up to Shen Jingbin once again and said, "Did you catch what I said just now? Although you donât need to attend school, you should still drop by to listen if you have the time. Listening to someone elseâs experiences will definitely be beneficial to you in the future."
Li Qing voiced her heartfelt wishes towards Shen Jingbin and her tone was filled with kindness. Shen Jingbin didnât want to brush aside her goodwill, so she said, "Alright, Iâll be there."
Li Qing gave her a satisfied look before she turned to the other three around her, and exhorted them once again before she took her leave.
