After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows-Chapter 118: If I Continue Teaching, She’ll End Up Teaching Me

Chapter 118: Chapter 118: If I Continue Teaching, She’ll End Up Teaching Me

"The course is over?" Tong Yue looked at Cheng Wan, who stood in front of her with a seemingly haggard expression, and repeated incredulously, "Wasn’t it supposed to be a five-day course? We’ve only had three days."

Cheng Wan rubbed her aching temples. Over the past three days, she had racked her brains, showcasing all her skills just to get through these three days with a terrifyingly talented student.

As for the remaining two days, she genuinely had nothing more to teach.

Announcing the early termination of the course was out of sheer necessity.

"Miss Jiang is highly capable," Cheng Wan said sincerely, "I don’t think there’s anything left I can teach her."

In her heart, she silently added, ’If I continue teaching, she might end up teaching me!’

Taking a deep breath, she continued, "As for the fees for the remaining two days, I will refund them to you. That’s all, I have things to do. Goodbye."

She really needed a break, to ease her mind and spirit after being overwhelmed by a student!

As she watched the usually composed Teacher Cheng leave in a slightly hurried manner, Tong Yue turned to Lu Zhengzheng, who had been auditing for three days alongside.

"What on earth happened?"

Lu Zhengzheng wore a confused expression, ultimately handing over her phone, "Sister Tong, I can’t explain it, but I recorded a video. You should take a look."

Completely unaware of what her artist had been up to in the past three days, Tong Yue took the phone and opened the door to a new world.

"When did she start learning instruments?"

"Xiyu’s parents used to be in business; they’re not exactly from an academic family. So, where did she learn all these etiquettes?"

"With such proficiency in classical expressions, have I wasted her talent on those modern dramas I got her into?"

...

Faced with an incredulous series of questions from Tong Yue as she watched the videos, Lu Zhengzheng felt like she was going to shake her head off.

She genuinely didn’t know the answer to any of these questions!

After finishing watching the short videos taken over the past three days, Tong Yue somewhat understood why Cheng Wan seemed more worn out than three days ago.

So when Jiang Lingxi came in from outside, she got bombarded with questions.

"Instruments? I picked up a few during school whenever I was interested, but I’m not particularly skilled at any."

Especially the guqin and flute, she never showed off in front of someone.

Tong Yue’s inner thoughts: You have quite a broad range of interests!

"Etiquette? If you put your mind to it, once familiar, it’s as simple as eating and drinking."

Tong Yue’s inner thoughts: Then she must not have the heart for it.

"As for classical expression skills, I’m okay when it comes to memorizing books."

After all, she used to get her palms hit by the teacher if she couldn’t recite them. It wasn’t the pain she feared but the embarrassment.

Of course, Jin’an was the most impressive when it came to memorization, with photographic memory. She envied him from a young age.

Tong Yue: "I almost forgot, before entering the entertainment business, you had pretty good grades."

As soon as she said this, she quickly closed her mouth, cautiously glancing at Jiang Lingxi’s expression.

She also realized this was a touchy subject for the girl.

Jiang Lingxi, meeting Tong Yue’s wary gaze, smiled and said, "Didn’t you suggest I further my education earlier? I’ll need Sister Tong to help me get the books I’ll need."

Tong Yue quickly patted her chest, "Leave it to me. But I need to confirm first which path you plan to choose: retaking the high school exams, self-study exams, or just aiming for a college degree?"

When Jiang Lingxi decided to continue her studies, she specifically looked into this. She’s more inclined to retaking the high school exams.

For the former herself, not getting into her dream university after the exams was her biggest regret.

So, her answer to Tong Yue was: "Retake the high school exams."

Upon hearing this, Tong Yue was a bit surprised yet found it not entirely unforeseen.

Surprised because retaking the exams is undoubtedly the most challenging option among the three.

But since the decision was made by Jiang Lingxi, it wasn’t unexpected.

Certain regrets always leave a sense of dissatisfaction, not fading even with time.

"Okay, my nephew is in high school now. I’ll ask him if there are any good review and tutoring books, and make sure to get them for you soon."

"I’ll trouble you then, Sister Tong."

"No need for formality. Oh, your phone’s lighting up," Tong Yue pointed at the phone on the table, having glimpsed an avatar with a brush-written ’Shen’ before looking away, "Go ahead and see who messaged you."

Jiang Lingxi turned, picked up her phone, glanced at the sender, raised an eyebrow, and opened the message curiously, "I’ll go with you to pick up Xiao Xu the day after tomorrow."

Jiang Lingxi reread the message from start to finish, ensuring she hadn’t misunderstood, then typed, "Are you bored?"

What kind of relationship do they think they have, making such an offer? Must be because he’s idle!

Shen Yunqing couldn’t help but chuckle upon seeing the reply, prompting Assistant He, who’d just entered the office to report, to wisely zip his lips.

"My uncle and aunt must have mentioned me too?"

Jiang Lingxi pursed her lips. Indeed.

Jiang Wenhu is a mother concerned about her children. She’s clueless about business matters but frets over her daughter’s marriage.

Every few days, she’d inquire about how the couple was getting along.

Usually, Jiang Lingxi would brush it off vaguely. But this time, being the day they pick up Jiang Lingxu, if her son-in-law doesn’t show up, it’d indeed seem inexplicable.

"The day after tomorrow at eight in the morning..." The message got sent prematurely as she accidentally hit the send key.

Planning to retract it, she saw the other party already typing, with a new message quickly appearing, "I’ll pick you up at your apartment building."

Someone picking her up meant she didn’t have to get a taxi herself.

Jiang Lingxi swiftly replied with a "Sure."

After turning off her screen, she looked at Tong Yue, who’s pretending to be busy, "Sister Tong, I need to take three days off..."

Before she finished, Tong Yue nodded, "Alright, approved. This time you’ve even overachieved the tasks I gave you, so take the next two days to rest. Oh, and send my regards to Uncle, Aunt, and little Xu."

"Will do."

Tong Yue waved as she watched Jiang Lingxi leave with Lu Zhengzheng, humming a tune as she got back to work.

Feeling increasingly enthusiastic about her role as a manager!

Jiang Yuting was also in a good mood.

She shared her cheerful news with Jiang Xiyu, who had been feeling down, "Your audition slot is confirmed, and you even snagged a role with considerable screen time, but they haven’t specified what role yet. Oh, and Cheng Wan’s course is over, should we schedule a meeting?"

Upon hearing the last sentence, Jiang Xiyu showed some reaction, "Hasn’t it just been three days?"

"Yeah, I’m guessing Jiang Lingxi is probably just a blockhead, she learnt for three days and managed to piss off Cheng Wan, causing her to quit teaching."

"That’s somewhat good news. No matter how hard Tong Yue works as a manager, it doesn’t help if her artist is a disappointment!"
