Meanwhile, Qin Mo was sitting in the company office during an overseas market
conference. The company specialized in online games, so having a computer
switched on was common practice.
One of the Bodyguards, stationed at the building door, nervously checked the time and relayed it to the other team members via earpiece.
"Why isn't CEO Qin here yet?" one asked.
"This is very unusual. What happened?" another wondered.
"No idea..."
As they were discussing, the office door on the top floor of the building opened, and Qin Mo strode in with long strides, his shirt half-open. His black hair, like the darkest ink, made him look strikingly cool, instantly silencing everyone with his icy demeanor. Many couldn't help but steal glances at his alluring figure, swallowing hard in admiration.
Coco rushed up to him, "Captain, did you sleep here last night?"
Qin Mo didn't respond. Instead, he pressed the company phone on the table and said, "I need a new suit. Bring it up now."
"Yes, sir!" Secretary Liang replied, efficiently springing into action.
Qin Mo took the jacket in his hands and put it on, adjusting the sleeves and fastening the buttons one by one. He spoke slowly, "I'm meeting Spade Z."
"What?!" Coco and Fatty jumped from their chairs in shock. "Meeting? Like those meetings between online game buddies?! This... this is too surreal!"
"This guy is so cunning; is it a trap?!" Coco questioned.
Fatty chimed in, "CEO Qin, take more people with you! We can't let him escape this time!"
"You think I wouldn't have figured it out if this were a trap?" Qin Mo replied, lifting his gaze with an air of chilling confidence. "Or... are you reminding me about last time I was fooled?"
Coco and Fatty froze, fear creeping over them. "No... not that..." they stammered.
When the sun began to set, her phone buzzed under her desk. She pulled it
out and saw a voice message from Qin Mo.
*In class, can't listen to it,*
she replied quickly. Again, there was no response.
Fu Jiu brushed it off. After three minutes, Qin Mo finally replied, *The meetup location has changed. I will wait for you at the school gate. You should know that my car is easy to find.*
Fu Jiu paused. She didn't just know; everyone at school knew about that high-end Hummer. In Jiang City, there was hardly another one in the entire northern provinces. That car, along with its red license plate, clearly showcased his privileged status. But now she would have to get into his car in front of everyone.
She laughed quietly. This might drive her friend Chen Xiaodong mad again.
*Okay,* she replied, feeling resigned.
Qin Mo tilted his head to read her reply on his phone before sitting up in bed. Having just woken up, his striking dark eyes remained lively. His white pajama top was partly unbuttoned, revealing a glimpse of his muscular, honey-toned chest. His well-defined physique was irresistibly attractive. He slightly inclined his head, his neatly trimmed hair barely hiding his eyes.
Suddenly recalling something, he sent another message with a commanding tone: *Don't switch off your phone.*
Fu Jiu could even sense the coldness in the man's expression as he replied, even through the phone screen. She knew she couldn't turn off her phone now; that would only delay things.

Aiya[i], CEO Qin is particularly scary today!

Meanwhile, the last class had begun at school. Typically, at this time,
students' minds drifted away from studying. Everyone, including Fu Jiu,
was glancing at the time on their phones, eagerly anticipating their own
evening. The English teacher, aware of their distraction, attempted to
liven things up with a question. He called on Fu Jiu and asked, "What kind
of girl do you like?"
Everyone in the class knew that Fu Jiu ranked last every year in her exams and struggled with English. While the girls were intrigued by the question, they figured she wouldn't be able to answer.
Jiang Feiyang, sitting next to her, looked at Fu Jiu, smirking, ready for a show.
Xue Yaoyao, worried for Fu Jiu, took out a pen and poked her in the back, writing one word on a note—Beautiful. If Fu Jiu answered with that word, she would pass the test. However, Xue Yaoyao feared that Fu Jiu might not even recognize the word.
The teacher was watching her intently.

Fu Jiu smiled, opened her lips, and responded in fluent English, "Do you
think that because I am poor, obscure, plain, and small, I am soulless and
heartless? You think wrong! I have as much soul as you and just as much
heart! If God had gifted me with beauty and wealth, I would have made it
as hard for you to leave me as it is now for me to leave you."
Her voice, naturally beautiful and now laced with an authentic British accent, enchanted everyone in the class.
"This, this is..." the English teacher exclaimed excitedly. "The exact line from 'Jane Eyre'!"
"Teacher, it seems you also like this book. Yes, the female lead is my favorite type," Fu Jiu said with a smile, winking at Xue Yaoyao behind her. The charm and seductive allure of her presence made the hearts of the girls sitting behind her race.
The English teacher initiated a round of applause and highly praised Fu Jiu, offering unprecedented compliments and recognition. She then urged the other students to follow Fu Jiu's example.
Jiang Feiyang, with widened eyes, thought he was about to witness another humiliation, but was stunned to find that this supposed "little trash" had actually captured the spotlight!
As Fu Jiu sat down, she glanced at him from the corner of her eye and curled her thin lips into a smirk. That clear mockery made Jiang Feiyang feel as if he had been slapped in the face. To his bewilderment, he also found Fu Jiu quite good-looking. Was he going insane?!
"Okay, students, that’s it for today. Class dismissed!" the English teacher announced, and all the students rushed out of the classroom.
Fu Jiu grabbed her school bag, threw it over her shoulder, and carried her skateboard under her arm as she slowly made her way through the crowd.

[i] "Aiya" is a highly versatile, everyday Chinese interjection (especially common in Cantonese and Mandarin) used to express a wide range of emotions. Depending on your tone and the context, it is roughly equivalent to English phrases like "Oh my god!", "Oh no!", "Yikes!", or "Geez!".
