She could not figure out what had gone wrong. “Brother Xi Yan wasn’t like this before. There must be some misunderstanding.”Chen Xiangxiang pursed her lips and comforted her good friend. “I suspect… Sister Yan Yan might have said something to him.” “She’s deliberately ostracizing you and trying to drive you away. Xiangxiang, don’t fall for it!”Zhan Xinrong’s face was full of anger. Mu Yuyang’s expression darkened. “That’s right, ignore him! If you have the ability, let him talk to Uncle XI. What’s the meaning of forcing you in private?” Xi Jingxing liked Chen Xiangxiang so much that he would never allow Xi Yan to bully her like this. Chen Xiangxiang said softly, “I stayed at the Xi family because I wanted to make Uncle Xi happy. If I’ve really caused trouble for this family, then I’d better leave.” “No, Xiangxiang, you’re Wrong!”Mu Yuyang asked himself that he had seen through the XI family’s problems the most. “It’s over when you leave the XI family. Can’t you see that Uncle XI and the Xi family’s servants have gained a lot of happiness and smiles because of you? What will happen if you leave Uncle Xi?” Chen Xiangxiang’s expression suddenly became hesitant. “I’m really worried about Uncle Xi’s emotional state…” Jin Zhao could not take it anymore. He rolled his eyes. “This is the first time I’ve heard someone say something so refreshing.” Ying Shiyu called out to him, “Let’s go. He obviously doesn’t want to leave the XI family. He’s trying to find an excuse. What’s there to listen to?” This sentence was like another slap on Chen Xiangxiang’s face. Chen Xiangxiang gritted her teeth and wanted to say something, but the two people had already turned around and left. She clenched her fingers with a face full of unwillingness, her nails digging into the soft flesh of her palm. No, she couldn’t be defeated so easily! She walked step by step from the Poor Mountain Village to Beiqiao City and lived in a big villa. Every step was not easy. If she could not bear to really leave just because of a few sarcastic words, then she would have truly fulfilled Yan XI’s wish! — Wang Zinan did not wait for Chen Xiangxiang. Instead, he was called to the teacher-in-charge’s office. Forget it. Anyway, Xiangxiang was very busy now, so she did not want to disturb the other party’s preparation for the battle. After all, she was going to fly to the capital tomorrow to participate in the preliminaries. She had to recuperate well. The one who delivered the message was the class monitor of class one. He could not help but remind her, “Hurry up, the class teacher is quite anxious.” “What’s the matter that’s so urgent?”The few girls who accompanied Wang Zinan to look for Chen Xiangxiang asked. They had always wanted to be on good terms with Chen Xiangxiang. After all, she was not only the school belle, but also the goddess of the grade. She was always surrounded by some powerful or well-off people. Zhu Yuan guessed with an unpleasant expression, “Could it be because of… Zinan’s Bet?” On the surface, the news of Wang Zinan being detained at the police station did not spread, but there were still rumors circulating around the school. One of the girls immediately retorted, “How is that possible? The school doesn’t care about these things! Even if it’s about the bet, they must be trying to comfort Zinan. After all, this is already Zinan’s best exam. Her results have improved significantly!” Wang Zinan did not feel comforted at all. Instead, she was slightly displeased. Why did they bring up the bet? However, she thought about it and lifted her chin. “It must be about my improvement in my studies. I applied to join the National Talent Protection Plan — the Peacock Plan!” She did not intend to say anything, but from the corner of her eye, she saw the application form in the class monitor’s hand. A few months ago, Wang Zinan had applied with the class teacher, Chen Liyang, to get the recommendation from the school. She felt that her results were excellent, and she was able to maintain such good results despite being from a poor family with limited educational resources. This was enough to prove her IQ. In consideration of the school’s overall considerations, they should also give equal opportunities to the poor students, rather than blindly recommending the children of rich families. Therefore, even though she knew that she did not meet the requirements, Wang Zinan still went to Chen Liyang to fight for it. Chen Liyang had always admired her. At that time, he promised that he would consider it carefully and encouraged her to improve her results. This time, her exam results had improved a lot and she was on the verge of entering the rocket class. Could it be that Chen Liyang had helped her to get a place in the school and asked her to fill in the application form? Thinking of this, Wang Zinan tried her best to suppress the corner of her mouth that was about to rise. She felt a sense of superiority in her heart. “I’ll go fill out the application form. You Don’t have to wait for me.” Zhu Yuan and the others looked at each other. Was that so? Then Wang Zinan was indeed quite amazing. Even if she lost the bet with Yan XI, her abilities were not to be underestimated. The school’s welfare class teacher was willing to fight for her. If she could enter the peacock project, she would receive all kinds of subsidies and the opportunity to go to various universities to learn and communicate. Everyone suddenly felt a little jealous. They were both envious and jealous. Wang Zinan left with all kinds of envious gazes. Because her heart was filled with anticipation, she rushed to Chen Liyang’s office. “Teacher Chen, you were looking for me?”Wang Zinan’s gaze was fervent as she stared at the stack of documents in Chen Liyang’s hands. Could that be the application form? Then she had to fill it out carefully later. She had to strive for the beautiful words to be able to move people’s hearts and be selected in one fell swoop. When Wang Zinan saw Chen Liyang raise his hand, she subconsciously reached out to take it. Chen Liyang:”! ! !” “What do you want to Do?”Chen Liyang frowned and questioned. After a moment, he decided to get straight to the point, “You’ve been receiving funding from the Yan Foundation and the Qingcheng Foundation for more than ten years. Don’t you know who’s behind these two foundations?” Wang Zinan did not expect the other party to actually mention this matter. It was simply baffling! “I received funding because my results were good and I met the conditions and requirements for their funding.”Wang Zinan pursed his lips and appeared to have a backbone, “I don’t need to know who’s paying. All I know is that I signed the agreement and it will be implemented according to the agreement!” She wasn’t the only student receiving financial aid at the school. Everyone was a student, so did she deserve to be inferior just because she received financial aid? Wang Zinan wouldn’t be so obsequious. According to the agreement, after she finished her studies, she would work for Xi Empire or Yan Corporation. Wasn’t that enough? Chen Liyang knew that this student had a strong sense of self-esteem. Considering that her family was in a difficult situation and she was a poor student who liked to be petty, he was willing to take care of Wang Zinan on many things. However, he didn’t expect her to think that way? She wasn’t grateful at all. Chen Liyang said straightforwardly, “Alright, but you received a gift from a classmate. The amount is huge, and your character clearly doesn’t meet the standard of subsidy. Therefore, the school has received notice to cancel your subsidy.” Wang Zinan’s eyes widened, and she almost couldn’t believe it for a moment. “On what basis?”She asked in a high-pitched voice. Chen Liyang frowned. “I’ve already made the reason very clear. Accepting such a huge amount of gifts between classmates is already beyond the normal range.”
