Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1283: Chapter 769: Two-in-One_2

“Secretary Jing… Hey!” Feng Tianzhi sighed heavily, looking at Jing Chen, “Your father has really devoted all his energy to work over the years, sigh!”

Jing Xi glared at him: “You like Luo Ye, of course you’ll side with her, so don’t need to imply sarcastically that my dad didn’t teach us well. In fact, I think you should reflect on yourself, girls speaking, always like to interrupt, how is that so uncivilized?”

“Xiao Xi, you are getting more and more excessive, where is your upbringing?” Jing Chen’s face turned red with anger, stood up and bowed to Feng Tianzhi and Luo Ye, “I apologize on behalf of Xiao Xi, she’s just a spoiled child, don’t take it to heart.

Today’s meal was initially meant for everyone to gather, didn’t expect it to turn out this way. Next time I’ll host a proper meal for everyone. If you leave Ludong, I’ll specially invite you in Sha City.

He then turned to bow to Ma Tengyue, “Tengyue, we’ve been buddies for so many years, I genuinely thought of becoming relatives with you, that’s why I hoped you could develop something with Xiao Xi.

Now it seems, she doesn’t deserve you, brother, I’m sorry. I’ll invite you alone next time, as for other requests, feel free to ask, as long as it’s within my ability, I’ll certainly do my best.”

“Brother, on what grounds…” Before Jing Xi could finish speaking, Jing Chen forcefully pushed her outside, “Come on, don’t say pointless things here, you wanted to introduce him to the parents, fine, I’ll join you, let’s see what mom and dad say…”

“Brother Feng, Little Luo, haha…” The room was left with only three people, Ma Tengyue awkwardly smiled while raising his glass, “I’ll fulfill the duty of host in place of Jing Chen, he’s been worried about Jing Xi’s matters not just for a day or two, the habit of worrying won’t change overnight.”

They drank a glass of wine together, and Luo Ye also stood up: “I have to return tomorrow, I want to go home and spend time with the family, you two, finish the meal.”

“I’ll walk you home.” Feng Tianzhi promptly stood up.

Ma Tengyue looked at the two with a bitter expression: “It’s not good like this, look at this table full of dishes, hardly touched, and importantly, this large lobster, just throwing it out is simply criminal.”

Indeed, half of the dishes on the table were untouched, the large lobster came up and remained uneaten. Over ten thousand yuan worth of food just wasted, truly criminal.

“Brother Ma, you should pack them and take them home.” Luo Ye suggested.

“I’m alone, how many days would it take to eat it all if I pack it up?” Ma Tengyue looked at the two with frustration, “I’m not worried about the money, it’s mainly that this is too wasteful, and when I was little… never mind, let’s not digress, let’s try to eat as much as we can, and I’ll pack up the rest and put it in the fridge to eat slowly, okay?”

This table of food, even if the three eat and then pack it, would be enough to last Ma Tengyue a few days. Luo Ye looked at the time: “How about this, let everyone pick a dish they like, and I’ll take care of the rest.”

“To whom?” Feng Tianzhi asked puzzled, looking at her.

“Definitely not you, hurry up and pick something.”

…

Ludong Second Middle School is a renowned key secondary school in Ludong, with its admission rate famous nationwide. Getting into this school is definitely not just about having connections, channels, money or… whatever.

If academic performance is not up to standard, you can still enter the school; there is a separate teaching area in the West Campus of Second Middle School, with two classes for each grade. These two classes mostly enroll children from wealthy or influential families whose academic performance is average.

To them, entering this campus and being nominally a Second Middle School student is enough. Anyway, parents will find ways to send them out of the country by high school.

And, many will be sent abroad by their parents as early as eighth grade. Hence, over time, distinctly divided groups have formed in the school.

Students from the West Campus look down on the East Campus’s living standards, while those from the East Campus look down on the West Campus’s academic standards.

However, whether East Campus or West Campus, dormitories are arranged together. The school does not give special privileges to students from the West Campus despite their wealthy families, as their dorms are also large dorms with eight people per room, all facilities being the same.

The only difference is that, often the dormitories of West Campus students waft out various delicious food smells, whereas those in the East Campus dormitories mostly smell of instant noodles.

Sister Li’s son Tao Dongdong got into the Second Middle School through his own efforts, thus belongs to the East Campus and lives in the 507 dormitory.

Apart from Tao Dongdong, the dorm also has two students, Liu Hao and Zhao Qibing, who also live locally, the other five are students from surrounding counties and cities who got admitted, to be exact, all five of their families are from rural areas, hence, their family’s support for living expenses can be imagined.
