The anchor I was supposed to meet turned out to be my student.

"Yes, because her grades are really worrying, I have to spend more time and effort urging her to improve." I explained the situation directly.

Lu Xiaojun nodded, but still looked at me with a hint of resentment and said, "But just now... Teacher seemed to have a pretty good relationship with Lehan..."

She was referring to the incident where Xu Lehan held my hand.

I laughed and said, "Xu Lehan seems to be a bit oblivious; she didn't mean anything by it..."

"That's true... but how did the teacher manage to get Lehan to attend class?"

"Um... I dragged her from her dorm..."

"I see... So, will the teacher have to go to her dorm every day to remind her to attend class?"

I thought about it, and it really is a tricky question.

"I'll urge her for a while and see if she'll become more self-disciplined. If not, I'll have to call her parents."

“Then I’ll take the responsibility of reminding Lehan to come to class every day instead of the teacher. My dormitory is right next to hers, so it’s much more convenient than the teacher coming in person.”

I laughed and said, "That's great! I don't have to come all the way to the girls' dormitory anymore. But I'll have to trouble you, Xiaojun..."

Lu Xiaojun shook her head and said, "It's no trouble. After all, it's not good for teachers to come to the girls' dormitory every day. Besides, Le Han is a bit careless. What if she's not wearing any clothes when the teacher goes in..."

Seriously? Are all girls' dorms this wild? Can they really just wander around the dorm wearing only their underwear like us guys?

"Then I'll head back to class now, teacher. Bye-bye~"

Watching her return to the classroom, I felt like I had just survived a major battle. I had only done my duty as a teacher by urging Xu Lehan to attend class, but Bi Antong and Lu Xiaojun had come over one after another to question me. Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine...

After lunch, I returned to my office. Bi Antong had already arrived and was sitting on the sofa rubbing her calves, which were a bit bruised. I quickly asked with concern, "Did you bump your leg on something?"

Bi Antong seemed embarrassed to speak, and after fidgeting for a while, she stammered, "I accidentally bumped into the chair when I got up after eating..."

"You need to be more careful next time... Don't break the chairs in the cafeteria, they're really expensive..."

“Go to hell!” Bi Antong roared.

I gave an awkward smile and said to her, "I have some liniment here. I'll put some on for you so it will heal faster and won't leave any marks."

I took out the liniment I always kept in the cabinet and sat down next to Bi Antong. I dipped a cotton swab in the medicine and was about to apply it to the bruise, but Bi Antong moved her leg to the side to avoid me.

"Will it hurt a lot..." Bi Antong said with some fear.

Ah this...

"No, it's even a little cool." I told her a white lie so she could apply it smoothly.

"You're not lying to me?" Bi Antong asked again to confirm.

I looked at her and asked, "You don't even trust me?"

"Then I'll trust you this once..."

Then Bi Antong stretched her leg back, and I immediately applied the ointment.

"Ugh!!" Bi Antong groaned, trying to suppress his cry.

She looked at me with teary eyes from the pain and complained, "Didn't you say it wouldn't hurt?!"

I chuckled and explained, "That's so you'll let me apply the medicine willingly, otherwise the marks left on your legs will really affect their appearance."

Bi Antong, who felt deceived by me, angrily retorted, "What business is it of yours whether my legs are beautiful or not? They're not your legs!"

"I wouldn't feel comfortable watching that at home either..."

Then Bi Antong used his signature torture method to deal with it...

Suddenly there was a knock on the office door, which was then opened, and two familiar voices came through.

"teacher?"

"elder brother?"

Lu Xiaojun and Hua Xinning peeked in and were slightly taken aback when they saw me and Bi Antong together. Lu Xiaojun was quick to react because she knew that Bi Antong would come over to rest at noon, but Hua Xinning found it strange.

"What happened to An Tong's leg? Did she bump into something?" Hua Xin Ning walked over and looked at my hand as I applied medicine to Bi An Tong's leg.

Bi Antong admitted it with some embarrassment.

"Ah, it hurts..."

Bi Antong gave me a reproachful look, blaming me for using too much force.

"Teacher, you were too careless. Let me do it."

Lu Xiaojun took the medicine and helped her best friend apply it. The scene was harmonious, and I felt happy watching it.

"Hehe, brother must be feeling really regretful right now, because he can no longer legitimately see senior's legs up close."

Chapter 22, Section 142: Ye Zhi is angry.

My dear sister, why are you speaking such blunt truths...?

Bi Antong blushed instantly. She subtly extended two fingers. Others might not know what this meant, but I knew it perfectly well: this was the second warning!

No, but is this level of severity even considered a warning...?

It was all Hua Xinning's fault, so I glared at her fiercely, and she dared not tease me anymore.

However, the sight of three pairs of fair and beautiful legs lined up side by side on the sofa is a feast for the eyes. A man who has even one pair would never get tired of it. If he had two pairs, he would become so obsessed that he would neglect his duties. If he had three pairs, he would probably be... killed by the stench of athlete's foot. Don't think that beautiful girls don't have smelly feet, just like you shouldn't think that beautiful girls don't poop.

But I've decided that from now on I'll subtly hint to them to wear skirts more often, so their legs can breathe more and it's better for their health, hmm...

"Brother, give us the key. Xiaojun and I will go to your apartment later."

I was prepared for this. I glanced at Bi Antong without making a sound, but she didn't react. So I took out the key and gave it to Hua Xinning, reminding her, "Remember, don't peek at my private things, or I'll spank you when we get back."

Hua Xinning instinctively covered her buttocks. I sighed, thinking she was still quite young. I hadn't spanked her even once in all these years because Xinning was too well-behaved and I hadn't found the opportunity. Unlike Luo Yao, who would come at me for three days without a spanking and gradually became less afraid of my spanking. Last night, she even told me that she loved the feeling of me spanking her...

"By the way, Tongtong, isn't your apartment in the same building as the teacher's? We don't have any classes this afternoon, so why don't you come back with us on the way?" Lu Xiaojun said after helping Bi Antong apply the medicine.

"Oh, right, I just remembered. Why don't you come over to my brother's for dinner tonight, Antong-senpai? I'll cook!"

I watched Bi Antong nervously, wondering how she would explain herself. If she went too, it would likely expose her, since she was already very familiar with that house.

However, Bi Antong smiled naturally and said, "I have something to do this afternoon, so I won't be able to come. It's a pity. I really want to try Xin Ning's cooking. It's definitely much better than your brother's."

Except for my face, which was as black as coal, all three women laughed, but their laughter abruptly stopped...

"Huh, how did Senior Antong know about my brother's cooking skills?"

My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly looked at Bi Antong, only to see her react rapidly and say, "I can't cook, so sometimes I just go to his house for a meal..."

The two girls understood. Hua Xinning smiled and said, "Then Senior Antong will have to practice her cooking skills. My brother used to always praise my cooking, and even said that he wanted a girlfriend like me. He's so picky!"

Hua Xinning's seemingly unintentional remark was like a provocative statement, causing Lu Xiaojun and Bi Antong to stiffen. Before the situation escalated, I changed the subject, saying, "Xinning, I've already sent you the address. You and Xiaojun should go ahead and not disturb my work."

So Hua Xinning took Lu Xiaojun out of the office, but quickly turned back to Bi Antong and asked, "Didn't you have something to do, senior?"

Hua Xinning's words translate to: Senior, please don't bother my brother's work.

Bi Antong understood, of course, and had no choice but to leave the office as well.

After the three girls left, I sat on the sofa, lost in thought. I felt that Xin Ning had changed a bit since she went to university. Before, she was shy and wouldn't have talked much in front of others, but now every word she said gave me the impression that she was vying for attention. Perhaps she was vying for attention, worried that I wouldn't care about her as much as before and would focus my attention on other girls. Once I liked one, I could understand Xin Ning's behavior.

Xin Ning vying for attention isn't a big problem. With her personality and looks, finding a boyfriend in college would be a piece of cake. I bet some guys already have a crush on her or have already made their moves right after she started college. Then she won't be so clingy to me anymore. But just thinking about it makes my heart ache. I can't bear to imagine Xin Ning holding hands with other guys or kissing other guys in the future...

As the eldest brother, I comforted myself by thinking that I was just like most fathers, unwilling to see my precious daughter being taken away by another boy. I guess my dad felt the same way.

Thinking about Hua Xinning, I almost forgot to get her exempted from military training. Xinning has been anemic and weak since she was little. If she went to military training, she would probably faint after standing in the sun for less than half an hour. She has never participated in military training in her middle school. So I contacted her grade's counselor. With my connections, the procedure was done easily. I didn't even need to submit a doctor's certificate. I'll have to tell Xinning later so she doesn't go to sunbathe with others like a fool.

Around 3 PM, when I had almost finished my work, I called Ye Zhi. I didn't know if she was free at the moment, but I wanted to talk to her about my business venture with Liao Zhengyang and the others, which involved advertising.

I dialed the number, and the other end answered quickly, so I guessed they weren't too busy.

"Ye Zhi?"

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Ye Zhi's voice was that of a mature, sophisticated woman, which made people's hearts flutter.

"Are you free right now? I'd like to talk to you about something, something related to advertising." I got straight to the point and stated my purpose.

But the other side remained silent for a long time without replying.

"Ye Zhi?"

"You rarely call me just to talk about these things?" Ye Zhi asked casually.

I was speechless after being choked by her words. It was my fault for being too eager to start a business and not taking her feelings into consideration.

"I'm sorry, Ye Zhi..."

I racked my brains trying to figure out what to talk to her about; it seemed like the only thing we could talk about was games…

"So what rank are you in King of Glory now?" That seems to be the only question I can ask.

Do you think I'm easy to fool?

Ye Zhi hung up the phone without any emotion, leaving me at a loss. I think I might have offended her.

Just as I was considering whether to call her back, Ye Zhi sent me a message telling me to come to her company headquarters to find her, otherwise she wouldn't talk to me.

It's just a trip, nothing unacceptable. If anyone else were to try to place an advertisement with Ye Zhi, they would probably go through a lot of trouble to contact her assistant, let alone Ye Zhi herself. Besides, she's not even in charge of the company's advertising business.

Given our limited acquaintance, I was already very lucky that she agreed to meet with me, so I couldn't miss this opportunity. I left work early and took a taxi to the headquarters of Huahai Entertainment Company. As for the two girls waiting for me at the apartment, I figured I wouldn't go back too late, since it was only a little past three o'clock.

As for tutoring Jiang Yan, I sent a message to Director Jiang to inform her that I had something to do today.

I arrived at the company headquarters in about twenty minutes. Although it was located in the Lujiazui CBD, the company was not a skyscraper office building. After all, it was not a large Internet company, but it still looked impressive.

I went into the company and explained the situation to the receptionist. She seemed to have been instructed by Ye Zhi beforehand, and she smiled and led me to Ye Zhi's office. On the way, I saw several big stars that I could only see online. I was inexplicably excited. It wasn't that I admired them so much, but I just felt it was very novel because ordinary people don't have many opportunities like this.

Chapter 23, page 143. Seemingly Casual Chat, But Actually a Question

The receptionist led me to Ye Zhi's office and then left. The assistant told me that someone was looking for Ye Zhi inside, and asked me to wait a moment while she went to Ye Zhi's office to inquire. A little while later, the assistant returned and led me in, but reminded me that President Ye was giving a speech.

It meant that I should go in quietly and not interrupt, but this shows that Ye Zhi has a high status in the company, as evidenced by the various checkpoints I went through to get in.

My assistant opened the door for me. I nodded to her to let her know I was sorry to bother her, and then went into the office. Ye Zhi, who was sitting in her office chair, glanced at me and gestured for me to sit on the sofa and wait. The woman standing in front of her desk with her head down, being lectured, didn't dare to raise her head and waited for Ye Zhi to continue.

"There's no need to discuss Nan Yi's matter anymore. As a public figure, she made a terrible mistake this time. Let's blacklist her for a while and teach her a lesson." Ye Zhi made the decision expressionlessly.
