The almond-eyed girl chatted nonsensically with Wang Ge for a while. When Chen Yanxi finally had some free time, she ruthlessly abandoned Wang Ge and called out, "Yanzi, save me~" before going to Chen Yanxi for help with advanced mathematics.
Wang Ge did not get any free time either. After the almond-eyed girl left, other girls came over to ask him questions, sweetly calling him "big brother."
While tutoring the girls, Wang Ge asked curiously why no boys came to attend the "cram school."
The girls answered that it was because this Cat Cafe's main clientele was girls. There had been some boys originally, but not many—only one or two. They could not fit in with the girls and might have felt ostracized, so they stopped coming.
Thus, little by little, Chen Yanxi's small classroom became filled entirely with young, lively girls.
Wang Ge glanced at the men outside the "cram school" who were simply drinking coffee and petting cats in the Cat Cafe, and understood.
The girls had been attracted by Chen Yanxi and the free "cram school," so those men had probably been attracted by the girls, right?
Even without talking to or interacting with them, merely looking at these vibrant girls was enough to make people feel relaxed and cheerful from the bottom of their hearts.
Together with the adorable cats and the soothing music, it easily made people feel that this Cat Cafe was a wonderful place to unwind.
The owner of this Cat Cafe was quite imaginative.
...But no matter how he looked at it, wasn't it all completely dependent on Chen Yanxi?
Once Chen Yanxi resigned, the current thriving situation would disappear entirely.
It was completely supported by Chen Yanxi alone.
During lunch, Wang Ge pulled Chen Yanxi aside and secretly asked about her salary and benefits.
If Chen Yanxi's compensation was the same as an ordinary floor supervisor's, or only slightly higher, Wang Ge would definitely go have a talk with the owner of this Cat Cafe.
Well, if necessary, buying this Cat Cafe outright would also be a good choice.
At the thought of that option, Wang Ge became a little excited.
He had grown up without ever splurging extravagantly before.
"Don't worry. I'm not stupid."
Hearing his question, Chen Yanxi pursed her lips and said, "The owner is a good person. Besides paying me twice the salary of a regular supervisor, she also gave me ten percent of the shares."
Unexpectedly, the owner was actually conscientious?
Wang Ge felt a little regretful that he had been unable to stand up for Chen Yanxi, but he said, "Only ten percent? With your talent, I think she should give you at least fifty percent."
Chen Yanxi shook her head. "I only come here once every two weeks. Being given ten percent is already extremely generous."
"This owner is trying to tie you down with those shares."
Wang Ge saw through it at a glance and chuckled quietly. "She's still thinking too small. If I were the owner of the Cat Cafe, I'd give you at least thirty percent."
"It's actually fine." Chen Yanxi pursed her lips. "The owner said that after I graduate, if I'm still willing to stay and work here, she'll give me another thirty percent."
"I see. That works. Now that's the vision of a true business owner."
Wang Ge praised her, then asked, "So what are you planning to do?"
Chen Yanxi thought for a moment. "I probably won't stay in Changchuan."
"Where do you want to go? I'll go with you."
"I haven't decided yet."
"All right. Remember to tell me once you've made up your mind."
"Okay."
Chen Yanxi nodded in agreement.
Wang Ge did not suspect anything in the slightest.
It was habitual trust.
And so, Wang Ge spent the entire day working part-time as a tutor at the "Yanxi Small Classroom."
It was pretty enjoyable.
No, he should say it was truly very enjoyable.
However, although he was surrounded by girls calling him "big brother," he still strictly upheld male virtue and never overstepped his boundaries.
He firmly rejected every girl who wanted to add him as a contact.
The main theme was devotion and faithfulness.
That afternoon, while he was riding his bicycle home with Chen Yanxi, he told her about this as if he were claiming credit.
Chen Yanxi ignored him.
Chen Yanxi still cooked dinner. It was a simple home-style meal, but it looked, smelled, and tasted wonderful, and Wang Ge ate with great satisfaction.
The night passed without incident.
The next day, Wang Ge naturally rode his bicycle to school with Chen Yanxi again.
When they entered the school gates, he deliberately looked around. Only after confirming that Gu Panyan was nowhere nearby did he quickly slip inside with Chen Yanxi.
Heaven knew how afraid he was of running into Gu Panyan at a time like this.
Only after he had completely parted ways with Chen Yanxi did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.
He had narrowly escaped another disaster and lived through another day.
When he arrived in the classroom, he discovered that Gu Panyan had already arrived and was currently lying on her desk doing problems.
"Hi, Panyan. Long time no see. I've missed you terribly."
Wang Ge greeted her with a brilliant smile, showing no trace of the guilt or fear he had just felt.
Gu Panyan gave an offhand "Mm." Twirling her pen, she continued studying the problem with a frown.
"Which problem can't you solve? I'll teach you," Wang Ge said enthusiastically.
"No. I'll do it myself."
Gu Panyan furrowed her brows. "I should be able to solve it..."
"Keep it up."
He had once again returned to the dull, monotonous life of a third-year high school student.
With less than a month left until the college entrance examination, everyone became even more fiercely competitive.
Many people did not leave even after evening self-study ended, choosing to remain in the classroom and continue studying.
Although their homeroom teacher, Jiang Xiyu, repeatedly stressed that everyone should take care of their health, as time slowly passed and the college entrance examination drew near, several more pandas appeared in Wang Ge's class.
Gu Panyan was not like that, but her mental state was not very good either. She looked slightly haggard. Devoting oneself wholeheartedly to studying was truly an exhausting thing.
Wang Ge felt a little distressed watching her, but there was nothing he could do.
At this stage, even with his cheat, he could not help Gu Panyan much anymore.
As for Wang Ge himself, since Gu Panyan was making her final push for the college entrance examination, he did not want to disturb her. Thus, his life became like that of a pig: eating his fill, sleeping, sleeping his fill, and eating.
Whenever he happened to feel like it, he would pester Panyan, then get scolded or beaten, enjoying himself without tiring of it.
During evening self-study, he would go chat with Chen Yanxi, leaving him in excellent spirits.
It was worth mentioning that Chen Yanxi had borrowed the copy of The Wealth of Nations from his home, along with several other famous economics books. She spent her evening self-study sessions reading those books.
"Are you interested in these things?"
Wang Ge asked her curiously.
"Not particularly."
Chen Yanxi shook her head. "I've already read all the books in the library once. Reading them again wouldn't be very meaningful."
She pointed at the copy of The Wealth of Nations in her hand. "I might as well read this and learn some unfamiliar knowledge. Perhaps I'll be able to use it in the future."
Wang Ge hissed. "You're already this capable, and you still work so hard. That makes me look terribly unprofessional."
He sighed. "This morning, I even got scolded by the teacher for sleeping in class."
"Didn't your teacher stop caring about you sleeping a long time ago?" Chen Yanxi asked, puzzled.
Wang Ge covered his face in shame. "Because I snored and disturbed the other students..."
Chen Yanxi: "..."
