Chapter 412: Chapter 290: My Sisters Invite You
The water dispenser had toppled, and the purified water bucket had fallen, creating quite a loud noise.
However, in class 8, it only caused a small shock.
Compared to the noise of Wu Xiaoqi’s basketball exploding last semester, this was nothing.
Seeing this, Dong Qingfeng immediately stood up. He didn’t get along with Dan Kaiquan, and he took this moment to kick a man while he was down:
"Dan Kaiquan, what’s wrong with you?"
"Carrying a purified water bucket, and you knock over the machine, showing off like that?"
"I’m telling you, if the water dispenser is broken, we won’t buy a new one with the class funds. You’ll have to pay for it yourself!"
Dong Qingfeng stood on a moral high ground, scolding others, feeling extremely satisfied.
Dan Kaiquan was rendered speechless.
Seeing this, the class monitor Huang Zhongfei left his seat and went over to the water dispenser.
Dan Kaiquan had already righted the water dispenser, and the purified water bucket that had fallen to the ground hadn’t broken.
Although Huang Zhongfei wasn’t very strong, being a tall boy, he picked up the purified water bucket and set it back on the dispenser.
Then he pressed the water release button, and the water flowed normally; the heating light was also working fine.
Huang Zhongfei said, "It’s all good, no problem."
Now, Dong Qingfeng had no grounds to blame further, and he inwardly cursed his bad luck.
Lu Qiqi felt relieved, she filled her glass halfway and walked away with her cup.
Only Dan Kaiquan stood there, with no face left to save.
He was a boy with a strong sense of pride. At that moment, in front of so many of his classmates, he had lost face, especially over a matter of "strength," which was undoubtedly extremely embarrassing.
Dan Kaiquan didn’t even get himself any water; he just walked away.
When he returned to his seat, he felt eyes still on him.
The joy of having beaten Zhang Chi was completely gone.
Dan Kaiquan glanced over at Bai Yuxia, her profile was beautiful, and it slightly eased the heaviness in his heart.
Dan Kaiquan secretly vowed that he must regain his face; he needed to show his classmates that today was just a minor mishap.
He, Dan Kaiquan, was definitely not a boy who couldn’t even lift a mere purified water bucket!
To prove himself and wash away the shame, Dan Kaiquan decided that from now on, if there were tasks involving carrying purified water buckets, he would undertake them all by himself!
...
In the afternoon.
Jiang Ning was explaining a problem to Geng Lu.
Because it was raining, Geng Lu wasn’t wearing her usual light-colored top; today she wore a black coat that tightly covered her figure, which belonged to someone older.
To listen intently, Geng Lu leaned close to Jiang Ning, pressing against the desk, showing off her figure in another way.
Jiang Ning was unmoved. He activated his Divine Sense and explained the problem as usual.
"Did you get it?"
"Yes, I’ll do it myself next time," Geng Lu obediently said.
Jiang Ning said, "Sum up the problems more often. Look at this problem; you’ve done it before, but you got it wrong again."
Geng Lu didn’t talk back: "I know, I’m writing it down now."
Only then was Jiang Ning satisfied. Among the people he had taught, Bai Yuxia and Yang Sheng were the smartest, Chen Siyu and Geng Lu were at the same level.
Actually, Geng Lu should have been a bit smarter than Chen Siyu because she often spaced out during explanations, otherwise her efficiency could have been even higher.
"Geng Lu, my sisters are inviting you to dinner this afternoon," Geng Lu said.
Jiang Ning frowned, "Your sisters?"
...
In the back row, northern side.
Zhang Chi held his phone, his expression changing uncertainly, as if struggling.
His previous smartphone had been confiscated, and now he had gotten an old second-hand feature phone, capable not only of making calls but also logging into the old version of QQ and browsing the internet.
Zhang Chi had spent just a few dozen yuan to buy the phone and get a SIM card.
He looked at his phone, struggled for a while, but still couldn’t make up his mind.
Recently, he had contacted someone, a person with extensive connections, particularly well-connected, who could introduce him to daily-paid part-time jobs.
Recently that person had told Zhang Chi to ask if he would go to the crematorium to do some odd jobs, move some things, and earn 500 yuan a day.
When Zhang Chi asked what he would be moving, the person was vague and not clear, telling him he would know once he got there.
500 yuan!
Just two days of work would make him immediately well-off without having to endure his lousy phone.
A few times a month, it could be thousands of yuan in income!
However, Zhang Chi felt something was off about this job.
He dared not go.
Zhang Chi wanted to find other ways to make money, so he ran to the back of the four connected seats:
"Ma Shicheng, the sports meeting blowing over, huh?"
Hu Jun said, "Not likely, didn’t you hear what the class monitor said?"
Zhang Chi scoffed, a look of disdain on his face:
"The class monitor has some connections, but how can he be more powerful than the gods above?"
"As I said, this rainy weather is going to last a long time."
The cancellation of the sports meeting meant Zhang Chi’s hoped-for plan to win prizes and make money had to be abandoned.
His financial pathway was gone.
Guo Kun Nan said, "I still think what the class monitor said makes sense."
Zhang Chi felt Guo Kunnan and the others were delusional. Did they really think everything the class monitor said was absolute?
"Ma Shicheng, do you have any opportunities now?" Zhang Chi asked subtly.
"What opportunities?" Wang Longlong inquired.
Zhang Chi said, "Adults are talking, kids shouldn’t butt in."
Wang Longlong stayed quiet.
Ma Shicheng didn’t understand what Zhang Chi meant, saying:
"Explain?"
Zhang Chi didn’t hide it anymore: "Ma Shicheng, do you have any ways to make money? The online kind, where you can earn money with just a few clicks."
As soon as these words came out, not just Zhang Chi, but Hu Jun also leaned in to listen.
Guo Kunnan, abandoning his chat with Xu Yan from class 11, similarly leaned in.
Everyone was a high school student, eating four to five meals a day. With the rise of online shopping, people were just getting used to it, and the desire to shop increased tremendously.
Moreover, with the rapid replacement of smartphones, who wouldn’t want a smoother phone?
