Chapter 266 The toy I’d been eyeing for ages on tiptoe was bought by someone else.

“It’s so hot, it’s so hot, that school leader Sima is a piece of trash!” Ma Guojun squeezed up the stairs, showering curses.

“Then why are you still running with your jacket on?” Li Hua’s forehead was also sweating.

Ma Guojun hesitated, thinking to himself that taking off his jacket would make him look fatter. But when the words reached his lips, he just directly blasted Li Hua.

“What do you know? I’m too lazy to tell you. You’re not worthy to hear it.”

Li Hua was dumbfounded, hard-controlled by a string of attacks.

“Red rock! Red rock!”

He looked up and saw Yu Tongjie, who was stuck in the crowd at the front of the stairs, slowly moving upwards. A sense of bad luck immediately washed over him.

In the middle of the day, he encountered a corpse.

Yu Tongjie felt gloomy, unable to move like a sardine in a can. He thought about what Hu Nianzhong had promised him; it was time to change groups.

Today was Sunday, and after school at noon, they would be changing seats.

This wasn’t just any seat change; Jiang Nian, whom he couldn’t stand, was about to move to the last row of the first large group, which was by the back door of the classroom.

This meant that Li Qingrong’s group would be pushed back. Their seats would be in the first and second rows of the middle large group, directly facing the podium.

With Li Qingrong and Jiang Nian’s seats now far apart, if Hu Nianzhong’s group change went smoothly, he would fill the spot and be in the same group as Li Qingrong.

Such a good opportunity only came once a month.

He hoped that scoundrel Hu Nianzhong would have even a tiny bit of integrity. His patience was limited, and he couldn’t endure any more grievances!

Not even small grievances!

He had waited week after week, and the promised group change was either delayed for ‘more time,’ or because of ‘nervousness,’ or ‘his phone was broken.’

Pure scoundrel!

Yu Tongjie was fuming, having just stepped onto the fourth-floor corridor.

He casually glanced around and suddenly recognized Li Qingrong’s back in the crowd. And the person beside her; the two were about to enter the classroom.

Jiang Nian!!!

He blinked, his eyelids twitching uncontrollably, his eyes fixed intently on the classroom entrance.

However, he didn’t know what to do; he couldn’t handle either of them.

Yu Tongjie just didn’t understand. If Li Qingrong simply disliked him, that would be one thing.

Even if she liked someone else, at least there would be a thought.

After all, having someone she liked proved she had a ‘liking’ tendency.

But she only walked with Jiang Nian, while to him and everyone else, she presented a different demeanor, an unshakeable sense of detachment.

Yu Tongjie felt a mix of emotions, and his heart ached.

It was like when he was a child, standing on tiptoes to look at an expensive toy for a long time, only to come home from school one day and see the owner giving it away for free to someone else.

As soon as he entered the classroom, Yu Tongjie immediately found Hu Nianzhong and grabbed him to ask.

“Has the homeroom teacher agreed?”

Hu Nianzhong glanced at him, a helpless smile on his face.

“I just went to his office, but he wasn’t there.”

With a rumble, Yu Tongjie felt as if struck by lightning. His anticipated dream of being in the same group was instantly shattered by Hu Nianzhong like a bubble.

“Not there?”

“Yeah, I waited there for a long time, and only found out the homeroom teacher wasn’t there when I asked.”

Yu Tongjie clenched his fists, gritting his teeth and whispering,

“Are you messing with me?”

“What are you saying? Of course not.” Hu Nianzhong feigned displeasure, frowning, “If you don’t believe me, I’ll refund your money right now.”

Yu Tongjie didn’t want the money; he just wanted to change groups.

Zhuoyue Driving School.

Tian Yongsheng, the person in charge of the driving school, sat at the tea table, engrossed in replying to messages on his phone.

“What are you doing, Old Tian?” Sun Jianguo poured himself some tea, and wisps of white smoke rose. “Is your wife checking up on you again? Can’t a man be a bit more assertive?”

“No, an important client.” Tian Yongsheng edited the message, and after sending it, he put down his phone. “Why would my wife check up on me?”

“If your wife isn’t checking up on you and you’re not busy, then why don’t you come fishing with me?” Sun Jianguo asked. “Old Tian, you’re not a henpecked husband, are you?”

“I have pharyngitis, not henpecked.” Tian Yongsheng subtly changed the subject. “I have a student here who almost drove me crazy during practice.”

“You’re not even an instructor, why are you personally teaching a student again?”

“It’s still that English teacher, a big client.” Tian Yongsheng sighed. “Anyway, I have to be careful with her; I can’t even scold her once.”

“Oh, a VIP client, huh?” Sun Jianguo chuckled, then changed his tone. “Then that’s your problem; your teaching skills aren’t up to par.”

“Ugh, never mind. We’ll talk about it when that lady is in the mood to practice.” Tian Yongsheng said, “But it’s also strange, another VIP client came.”

“Who?”

“Don’t know, says he’s still in school.”

The third class ended.

Jiang Nian pulled out his phone and looked at the messages, finding them increasingly strange.

The other party’s attitude was too good, like serving a VIP client. He clicked on his Moments, which were full of ads for recruiting students and self-driving tours.

Clearly, the other party was not a struggling driving school instructor.

Judging by the quality of his Moments, he seemed like the owner or person in charge of the driving school. But what was strange was that his words implied he also taught students.

What kind of students he taught was self-evident: VIP students.

None of this was important. What truly concerned Jiang Nian was that the other party seemed to be on call, almost providing exclusive service, with no need to queue for clocking in.

Hmm. Still no time, he had classes on weekdays.

Last month, he had just started his third year of high school not long ago, a bit young and impetuous. He didn’t understand the intensity of the third year’s coursework and even thought about taking leave from evening self-study.

Basically, he couldn’t take leave, unless he didn’t care about his grades.

He thought for a moment and sent his actual situation to the other party. The other side replied almost instantly, which was a bit exaggerated.

“(Bows) Alright, Zhuoyue Driving School is dedicated to serving you.”

“Just send me the documents this afternoon, and I’ll handle all the registration procedures. (Flower) As for clocking in.”

Jiang Nian read through the messages, one by one. He had to admit, he felt like he was being doted on like a father.

He enjoyed it.

He could continue to relax in the afternoon, no need to waste time going to the driving school.

The other party also said that if it was difficult to ask for leave from school, they could arrange for him to clock in at four or five in the morning. This warm reply again hard-controlled Jiang Nian.

This was too VIP, really treating him like a father?

Waking up from his wife’s bed at four or five in the morning, enduring the cold morning wind to accompany a student to learn to drive and clock in, this was simply too heartwarming.

This was at least a tens of thousands service, and he seemed to have only spent…

Well, he hadn’t spent any money at all.

So far, the other party hadn’t mentioned money once. He had sent it, but the other party only said they would charge after he passed Subject Two.

In a flash, it was time for school to end at noon.

After class, the students in the class didn’t disperse immediately. Instead, they started moving desks and changing seats, the rumbling sound of chairs being dragged was incessant.

“Are we going to sit by the back door of the classroom?” Zhang Ningzhi asked in surprise.

“Yes, the spot by the back door of the classroom against the wall is drafty.” Jiang Nian was tidying his desk, then thought for a moment and asked, “Do you want to switch with Li Hua?”
