Can't Take My Eyes Off You

C 218-219

"I am sick of eating dried fish for lunch every day! No more dried fish for me, you hear it?" Moe complained loudly.

"How about cat food? I remember there are still some left in my drawer." Jiang Yao pointed at her desk. "Take it if you want to eat. Hey, get your paws off me, I am running late!"

"That is even worse than dried fish! I am not eating that too!" Moe thought about it, and with a quick movement, jumped up Jiang Yao's shoulder and stood there. "I am going to class with you. Wake me up when you are eating lunch, I want to see what you are having."

Not being able to do anything else, Jiang Yao put Moe into her bag and took off. She got herself some breakfast at the cafeteria before arriving at class.

This was the first time Jiang Yao had arrived at a class right on time. Looking at the mass of people in the crowded classroom, she spent a good minute before finally seeing Wen Xuehui.

"You were almost late!" Wen Xuehui did not cut Jiang Yao any slack. "I thought you overslept. Today is our first official class of the semester. You are going to get famous again if you are late!"

Every student that was admitted into Nanjiang Medical University had good work ethics. One would not find any students late to class nowadays, more so at such a prestigious school like Nanjiang Medical University.

"That's all thanks to him!" Jiang Yao stuffed her bag into the drawer right below her table. She got Moe out, putting him next to her bag.

Wen Xuehui blurted out, "Why did you bring him here?" Even as she was saying that, she stretched her hands out and gently stroked Moe.

Moe's favorite person in the entire hostel had to be Wen Xuehui, even more so than Jiang Yao. Feeling Wen Xuehui's touch, Moe rubbed his head against her palm and purred softly.

Jiang Yao knew better, though, that Moe liked being held in Wen Xuehui's arm the most.

She stole a glance at Wen Xuehui's chest and then looked down at her own.

Darn that perverted cat, choosing the person with the bigger bust!

Jiang Yao mused. She was not bothered at all nonetheless. At least she was not flat-chested. Plus, Lu Xingzhi had no qualms at all, preferring her cup size over anyone else's.

The lessons taught in university was too simple for someone like Jiang Yao. Instead, she used the time in class to access the Medical System and learn from it. She wanted to understand the herbs and concoctions that could be used to create a medicine for Mrs. Chen as soon as possible.

Her consciousness withdrew from the Medical System just as the class ended. She looked at Wen Xuehui, who was giving her back a good stretch. Their gazes met and they smiled at each other.

"Let me have a look at the notes you made." Wen Xuehui turned her gaze to Jiang Yao's book on the table. Surprised at seeing an empty book, even though Jiang Yao was listening to the lessons taught intently, Wen Xuehui asked, "Wait, you didn't write down anything?"

"My notebook is right here, my brain." Jiang Yao pointed at her head. "Furthermore, the contents of this class are easy. We are freshmen, so these are just introductory lessons." She continued, "If I can remember everything, I don't need to write it down. Any further questions I have, I could go do my own research and get them answered."

"So, this was how you got through school before coming here?" Wen Xuehui looked at Jiang Yao, suddenly having the urge to find out how exactly was her brain made.

They were both beginners in this. Since it was the first time she was exposed to these theoretical syllabi, she found it very hard to understand, so why did Jiang Yao find it easy and simple?

Jiang Yao did not even take notes during lecture, it was very impressive that she passed the college entrance examination with flying colors.

Wen Xuehui recalled those days of torment when she had to take notes vigorously in every class, and she suddenly felt that the Creator was unfair in Its production.

Jiang Yao hooked her lips into a faint smile without saying anything. She shared the same hardship like Wen Xuehui too in high school. She was not a prodigy, to begin with. Just like all high school students, she took notes in every class and revised them over and over again. Her high school life was equally tough at that time.

"Having a curve wrecker as a friend is such an unfortunate thing for me, the study slacker. I want you to know that I'm seriously hurt by you," Wen Xuehui pouted, then, she pointed at Jiang Yao's bag. "Your phone's ringing."

"Oh," Jiang Yao said and slowly retrieved her phone. It was very unlikely that Lu Xingzhi would call her at this hour, so she did not know who else it could be.

Looking at the number of the screen, it was from an unknown caller but it was from Nanjiang City, Jiang Yao answered it.

The caller was the director of the hospital himself. He called to inform Jiang Yao that the shareholders' meeting will be held at 3.30 pm at the hospital.

"I'm not available at 3.30! Postpone it to 5, and have someone come to fetch me at my university's main entrance at 4.40 pm," Jiang Yao uttered coldly. What did they think they were doing? She, the majority shareholder, had not even said anything about a meeting, how dare those minority shareholders decide to hold a meeting on their own?

They even had the nerve to merely inform her about the meeting instead of asking for her opinion!

Were they trying to overpower her, or even overturn her? What was the hurry?

"Miss Jiang, 5 pm is a little late, don't you think? Why don't you..." The director stuttered, trying to negotiate with Jiang Yao.

"I have classes until 4.20 pm, I need to go back to my dorm to make some preparations, and it takes time from the college to the hospital. My final answer is five. If they can't wait, then postpone it to Saturday! Those minorities are very diligent in holding meetings, huh? I, as the majority shareholder, haven't even said anything about a meeting. Tell them, if they can't wait until 5 pm, I won't go. I want to see what kind of meeting they will have if I'm not present!"

Jiang Yao ended the call right away, she did not give the director any chance to speak again.

She felt the wrath of fury burning inside her as soon as the director told her about the shareholders' meeting. They did not even have someone ask her first before scheduling the meeting, it proved that they did not take her seriously. They believed that she was still too young to know any better.

Staring at the phone, the director turned to the few shareholders who were standing in front of him and said with a helpless look on his face, "Miss Jiang wants to postpone the meeting to five."

"What!?" Mr. Qin growled and slammed the table furiously. "Who is she to decide the time of the meeting? What else can we discuss at 5 pm? She might as well suggest that we come here to have dinner together and go home right after!"

"Mr. Qin, Miss Jiang is still a student, she has classes in the afternoon. She also suggested that we can postpone the meeting to Saturday."

The director wiped the cold sweat on his forehead nervously. Ever since the Qi family had transferred their equity to Miss Jiang, he felt that his position as the director of this hospital was shaky and turbulent.

Initially, he thought that as soon as the equity transfer agreement was signed, Miss Jiang would convene a shareholders' meeting immediately, take the position of chairman as the majority shareholder, and then expel him from the position of the director. To his surprise, Miss Jiang did not do anything of that sort, yet these minority shareholders already had ants in their pants.

"Damn it! That young girl is so ignorant!"

Smart people could interpret some useful information from a person's expression and tone when they talk on the phone. Although the director conveyed Jiang Yao's message euphemistically, Mr. Feng, the other shareholder, could tell that when the director was talking to that bratty girl over the phone, her tone was unpleasant and rude.

Mr. Feng and Mr. Qin were the initiators of the shareholders' meeting. Although they did not know what kind of relationship she had with the Qi family that they would suddenly transfer all their equity to her, they were convinced that the girl could be easily manipulated. What could a freshman do anyway?
