Chapter 209: Negotiations
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
It was a quiet weekend. The following Monday, He Jing made breakfast for everyone before taking the bus to Yin High School.
As soon as she arrived at the school, someone stopped her.
He Jing looked up and saw that it was Zhou Xue’er.
“He Jing, do you still remember what you promised me?” Zhou Xue’er asked.
He Jing was speechless.
Zhou Xue’er knew He Jing had forgotten. She gritted her teeth and said, “My dad wanted to see you. You agreed. We even added each other on WeChat.”
“Has vour father come back from abroad?” He Ting asked.
Zhou Xue’er said, “He flew back a long time ago. He’s just busy and didn’t let me contact you. Can you meet him after school?”
He Jing nodded and replied straightforwardly, “Okay.”
In a quiet cafe, a well-dressed middle-aged man and a beautiful girl looked at each other. The pianist in the corner was playing a piece of Ukrainian Rhapsody.
Zhou Xue’er stood outside the cafe and peered inside.
Neither party seemed inclined to speak much. They merely drank, having their coffees refilled from time to time.
What were they doing?
Was her father dissatisfied with He Jing?
If he was, why did he want to meet He Jing?
Little did she know that Mr. Zhou was extremely satisfied with He Jing. She was so calm at such a young age. It was no wonder she could attain full marks in her cooking evaluations. He retrieved a stack of documents from his suitcase and pushed it toward He Jing, “I asked Xue’er to invite you for a chat because I have something I’d like to ask for your help with.”
He Jing knew what Zhou Xue’er’s father wanted. Otherwise, she would not be sitting here.
“What is it, Uncle? Please tell me,” she implored, unwilling to drag the issue out any longer.
“I want Miss He to help me win a competition,” Mr Zhou said. “Miss He will be rewarded handsomely upon its completion.”
He Jing smiled. “I’m just a student. Uncle thinks too highly of me.”
It was neither an acceptance nor rejection.
Mr. Zhou seemed to have expected this situation. He gestured at the stack of documents and said, “Miss He, please have a look before you reject me. I’ll await your reply. Please send it to me within three days.”
Without waiting for He Jing to agree, he paid the bill and left.
He Jing was left alone in her seat. He Jing sat there for a while before picking up the documents. Under the stack of papers was an envelope, which she opened. It was a cheque for 200,000 yuan.
For a student, it was a huge sum of money.
He Jing flipped through the documents, glancing at them briefly before putting them in her bag.
Zhou Xue’er was outside the cafe, waiting. When He Jing exited, she immediately approached her and asked, “So, how was it?”
“What are you still doing here?” He Jing squinted at her schoolmate.
“My dad’s gone back to the company; I’m waiting for my chauffeur to pick me up,” Zhou Xue’er answered hastily.
He Jing raised her bag containing the documents and said, “I’ll think about it. Don’t get your hopes up.’
Zhou Xue’er was speechless.
He Jing spent two days seriously considering the offer.
To be honest, she had just received a scholarship and did not lack money at all. There was no need for her to take on this job.
He Ning said that a student should behave like a student. He would probably be disappointed knowing she was not studying hard and secretly earning money. Hence, He Jing decided not to get involved in this mess.
Having made her decision, He Jing threw everything else to the back burner. After school, He Jing took a detour to the market to buy ingredients she would need for that night’s dinner. After which, she would look for He Ning and He Sui.
She never expected to bump into He Zhou at the market..
