Chapter 96 - Appreciation (2/2)

“I know what to do about this.” Thinking of the situation in the Qiao family, Elder Lee replied briefly without giving a straight answer.

Dirty linen should not be aired in public. This was a private matter of the Qiao family, it was not convenient for Elder Lee to help Qiao Nan spread to the whole world her mis-encounters in the family.

Elder Lee did not feel for Ding Jiayi, but his heart softened for his nephew, Qiao Dongliang.

“Grandpa, please don’t do anything hasty. I will think of how to thank Xiao Qiao myself. I have my own thoughts, you don’t need to worry.” Zhu Baoguo was not pleased. He was the one that received help, and should be the one to say thank you too.

Hence, as soon as he arrived in school today, Zhu Baoguo told Qiao Nan her grades immediately when he saw her. He also said thank you to her in a very sincere manner.

“Alright. If you really want to thank me. Wait for half a year later.”

“Do you have so much confidence in me?”

Zhu Baoguo looked at Qiao Nan in disbelief.

Half a year later, that would be the middle school examination. What Xiao Qiao meant was to look at his academic performance for that?

Although he scored good grades for the final examination, Zhu Baoguo dared not pin too high hopes on himself. He might not be able to sustain the good grades or achieve better grades.

“No, it’s not that I have confidence in you. I have confidence in myself. Haven’t you heard this saying before, in this world, there are no students that don’t know how to learn, there are only teachers who don’t know how to teach?”

“I really have not heard of it!”

Qiao Nan was stunned. Alright. It seemed like she said these words too soon.

“But you are right. There are only teachers who don’t know how to teach in this world. There aren’t any students that don’t know how to learn. I agree.” Zhu Baoguo lifted his chest. His grades were poor in the past as he had not met a good teacher, one that truly knew how to teach. He was really not responsible for it

“Fine, it’s enough that you know this saying, don’t… ”

“Don’t spread, I understand.” Zhu Baoguo nodded his head firmly. “Xiao Qiao, no matter what, thank you so much. Thank you for sharing your materials with me. Don’t worry, I have a gift for you in the coming year, I promise that it will be something that you like.”

“Okay,” Qiao Nan agreed readily.

She did not really want this gift of Zhu Baoguo, but she was more than happy to know that her efforts had been appreciated.

Most importantly, based on Qiao Nan’s understanding of Zhu Baoguo, he would probably give her something affordable as a first gift. If she decline, Zhu Baoguo would definitely get something more expensive. The pens that were broken by Zhao Yu previously, the very next day, Zhu Baoguo gave Qiao Nan an imported pen which was obviously not cheap.

When Qiao Nan declined, the stubborn Zhu Baoguo nearly stuffed the imported pen into Qiao Nan’s stationery box.

“d.a.m.n, Qiao Nan’s grades are defying the heavens!”

“No, why don’t Qiao Nan go to heaven. Was she a different person from the beginning of the term?”

“I’m going to get a beating this year again when I go home.”

When the results were announced based on the rankings and posted on the bulletin board, many people casted their look on Qiao Nan when they saw the name list.

In this semester, Qiao Nan was the center of attraction in the entire school.
