The morning bus came quickly, and Zhou Yining got on the bus in about five minutes; half an hour later, Zhou Yining got off the bus on a street in the city center.
She took out her phone and went directly to Jiang Xizhi’s house according to the navigation.
When she arrived at the gate of the villa area, Zhou Yining was stopped by the security guard.
“Where are you going? We only allow access by face recognition,” the security guard looked at Zhou Yining’s clothes and said with a slightly disdainful tone.
“I’m here to find my friend, her name is Jiang Xizhi,” Zhou Yining looked at the security guard without any fluster.
The security guard had information of all the residents in his computer, he asked another security guard to check the contact information of Jiang Xizhi’s family, called to confirm, and then said, “Miss Jiang’s house is in villa No. 13, you can see it if you keep walking along this road.”
“Okay, thank you,” Zhou Yining said thanks and entered the villa area from the small door.
She walked all the way inside, and had to say that the environment here was really good; the location was in a prime location in the city center, and the green area in the community was so large, it was indeed a place where rich people should live.
If it was in her previous life, she could definitely afford a house here, now?
Zhou Yining touched the only sixty-odd yuan left in her pocket and shook her head with a wry smile.
She walked while paying attention to the villa numbers, and after walking for about ten minutes, Zhou Yining arrived at the gate of villa No. 13.
Jiang Xizhi had been waiting there for a long time, and seeing Zhou Yining coming, she stood at the gate and waved to Zhou Yining, “Here.”
Zhou Yining smiled and nodded at her, “Well, have you had breakfast? Shall we start right away?”
“I’ve already eaten, what about you? Do you want to eat something else?” Jiang Xizhi asked.
“I’ve already eaten, so let’s start right away,” Zhou Yining really came to tutor Jiang Xizhi, and the reason why her grades were so good was inseparable from her desperate study in her previous life.
“Okay, let’s go to my study,” Jiang Xizhi pulled Zhou Yining into Jiang’s villa.
Jiang Yueyi was the only one in the living room at this moment; she deliberately left later today, just to see what kind of person her sister’s new friend was.
Seeing that her sister hadn’t left yet, Jiang Xizhi pulled Zhou Yining over to introduce her, “Sister, this is my friend Zhou Yining.”
She said and looked at Zhou Yining, “This is my sister.”
Zhou Yining looked at Jiang Yueyi and nodded to Jiang Yueyi, “Hello, Miss Jiang.”
“Well, hello, since you are Zhizhi’s friend, just treat this place as your own home, and if you need anything, just tell the servants,” Jiang Yueyi said while staring straight at Zhou Yining.
Zhou Yining met her eyes without dodging, and after a long while, she smiled slightly,
“Thank you for your hospitality, Miss Jiang, then we’ll go study now.”
“Okay,” Jiang Yueyi nodded to the two.
After the two left, the smile on her face disappeared; this Zhou Yining didn’t look simple, she had been the vice president of Jiang Group for several years, and not to mention other things, her eyes alone could make those subordinates not dare to meet her eyes.
But just now that Zhou Yining was able to meet her eyes without dodging, which was enough to prove that that Zhou Yining was not simple.
Jiang Yueyi frowned, she hoped that her sister would grow up happily, but she didn’t want her sister to be deceived by someone with ulterior motives, this girl named Zhou Yining was very scheming, and not someone her sister could play with.
Thinking about this, Jiang Yueyi called her assistant,
“I have something to do this morning, so I won’t go to the company for the time being, yeah, please reschedule the two meetings this morning to this afternoon, yeah, that’s all.”
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yueyi changed into a light and comfortable set of clothes, she planned to stay at home and keep an eye on things.
On the other side, Zhou Yining had already gone to Jiang Xizhi’s study with Jiang Xizhi.
Jiang Xizhi’s study was decorated very beautifully, with a black and white color scheme, a wall of bookshelves, and a large solid wood desk in front of the bookshelves.
On the other side, a simple desk was also equipped with a desktop computer, and a laptop and tablet on the other side; in short, everything that should be there was there.
Zhou Yining moved a chair over from the side, “Sit down, let’s start now, first take out that notebook, and all your exercises and test papers, I’ll help you review them.”
“Okay.”
Jiang Xizhi obediently took out her notebook, and also took out a stack of draft paper.
Zhou Yining opened the first page of the notebook and said, “I’ll first explain the most basic formulas, and then solve the example problems, you first do the example problems, and then I’ll choose problems from the exercise book or test paper for you to do, this will be more effective.”
“Okay, I’ll listen to you,” Jiang Xizhi nodded, she actually liked to study, after all, in a place like Class 1, although her family was rich, there were still many people who said bad things about her behind her back.
Jiang Xizhi’s English scores were very good, and her Chinese and liberal arts scores were also okay, only math was a big drag on her score, she always failed, even if she hired a tutor, her scores could never improve, Jiang Xizhi would sometimes worry about this, she couldn’t figure out where the problem was, she could never get above 90 points in math.
Zhou Yining took out the draft paper and began to explain the knowledge points, she combined the knowledge points with various types of questions in her mind, and explained each knowledge point for nearly an hour.
Because it was a comprehensive explanation, Zhou Yining felt that it would be more effective to explain all the basic question types that could be covered, because Jiang Xizhi’s math foundation was not good, so this explanation could help Jiang Xizhi understand better.
After an hour, Zhou Yining pointed to several questions she had selected in the exercise book,
“You do these questions, don’t be afraid of making mistakes, just try according to the ideas I just explained, if you get them wrong, I’ll explain them to you again.”
Jiang Xizhi nodded, she looked at Zhou Yining, and then focused her attention on the paper.
It had to be said that before, she had been somewhat resistant to the subject of mathematics, after all, she always failed, and later when the teacher taught her, she couldn’t remember some of the things even after she asked, but Zhou Yining explained it to her very carefully, and would also encourage her.
Jiang Xizhi had a little confidence in her math scores, she calmed down and started doing the questions according to the knowledge points she had just learned.
Twenty minutes later, Zhou Yining began to grade her test paper, out of five questions of the same type, she got two wrong.
Jiang Xizhi rubbed her face with some frustration, she felt that she had let down Zhou Yining’s hour of explanation just now.
Jiang Xizhi secretly looked at Zhou Yining’s expression, afraid of seeing impatience on Zhou Yining’s face.
Seeing her looking at herself, Zhou Yining smiled at Jiang Xizhi and said,
“Don’t be discouraged, everything is an accumulation from quantity to quality, this is only our first class, and there will be many more classes in the future, and math scores can’t be improved a lot at once, you have to be mentally prepared for this.”
“Hey, this is too difficult,” Jiang Xizhi looked at Zhou Yining with some grievance, and muttered in a low voice.
Zhou Yining smiled at her, “Not difficult, although it’s impossible to improve it all at once, but when the things in your head accumulate to a certain amount, your score will definitely increase by dozens of points, and it will be easy at that time, believe me, I’m here with you, we can definitely do it.”
“Okay,” Jiang Xizhi’s heart warmed, she didn’t know why, but she just trusted what Zhou Yining said.
“I’ll explain all five questions again, you see if your ideas can match mine,” Zhou Yining said.
“Okay, okay,” Jiang Xizhi nodded and obediently listened to Zhou Yining’s explanation of the questions.
In the living room, Jiang Yueyi asked the servant to make two glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice, she planned to take them to Jiang Xizhi, of course, her main purpose was to see what Zhou Yining was doing with her sister.
Jiang Yueyi walked to the door of Jiang Xizhi’s study with a tray, she thought about it and decided not to knock first, only in this way could she most directly see Zhou Yining’s purpose in coming to her home, although she knew this was a bit impolite.
Thinking about this, Jiang Yueyi reached out and turned the doorknob, gently opening the door.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw her sister and Zhou Yining sitting at the desk, the desk was already cluttered with seven or eight A4 papers filled with formulas, and Zhou Yining was explaining the questions while writing and drawing on the A4 paper, as if guiding her sister, while her sister was listening very carefully, and the two didn’t even notice her.
This was very awkward, Jiang Yueyi coughed lightly, which caught the attention of the two.
Zhou Yining frowned, she didn’t like being disturbed by others when she was explaining the questions, she looked at Jiang Yueyi and asked,
“Is there something?”
“Oh, I’m afraid you’re tired from studying, I brought some juice,” Jiang Yueyi explained.
Zhou Yining took out her phone and glanced at it, they had been talking for an hour and a half without realizing it.
She looked at Jiang Xizhi, “Sorry, I didn’t look at the time, are you tired? First go and drink something, and I’ll continue talking later.”
“Yeah, I’m not tired, you’ve been talking for more than an hour, you should take a rest,” Jiang Xizhi smiled at her, then got up to find Jiang Yueyi to get juice.
When she got to Jiang Yueyi’s side, she felt something was wrong, “Sister, why didn’t you go to the company today?”
“Oh, there’s nothing to do this morning, I’ll go after lunch, were you two talking about questions all the time just now?” Jiang Yueyi asked.
“Yeah, Zhou Yining is very good at studying, she got a perfect score of 150 in math, her explanation of the questions is more detailed than that of the hired tutor, Sister, I think I don’t need to hire a tutor for math anymore,” Jiang Xizhi said as she carried two glasses of orange juice back to the desk.
She smiled and handed one of the glasses of orange juice to Zhou Yining, jokingly said, “Little Zhou Teacher, you’ve worked hard, drink some orange juice and take a break.”
“Thank you,” Zhou Yining smiled at her, took the orange juice and stood up to move around.
Jiang Yueyi curiously walked to the desk, wanting to see what Zhou Yining was explaining to her sister.
Then she saw that the handwriting on the draft paper was neat, and even marked with serial numbers, it seemed that she was writing with great care.
Was this Zhou Yining really here to teach her sister? Or was she still hiding her true colors?
But putting aside other things, this person should really be a straight-A student, her handwriting was also good, she was much better than her sister’s previous friends, it was rare for her sister to have good taste once.
Jiang Yueyi looked away, smiled at the two, “Don’t be too tired, rest for a while and then continue, Zhou classmate, right? Stay for lunch.”
“Yes, you’ve helped me so much, stay for lunch,” Jiang Xizhi looked at Zhou Yining with bright eyes.
Zhou Yining smiled at her, then looked at Jiang Yueyi, “Then I’ll be bothering you.”
“No trouble, no trouble,” Jiang Xizhi felt that if possible, she would like Zhou Yining to stay at her house in the afternoon, if they didn’t talk about questions, they could watch a movie together, or do other things at home, anyway, she wanted Zhou Yining to be with her.
This feeling was very subtle, anyway, she had never felt that way with Shi Yuanyuan or Si Yaqing, she felt very comfortable being with Zhou Yining, and she was happy no matter what she did.
Jiang Yueyi looked at her sister thoughtfully, and then looked at Zhou Yining, seeing that her sister was indeed very concerned about this Zhou Yining, she sounded the alarm in her heart.
Of course, Jiang Yueyi wasn’t not allowing her sister to make friends, but she was just afraid that Jiang Xizhi would be hurt, so she would pay more attention to Zhou Yining, as long as there was no problem with Zhou Yining’s character, then she wouldn’t interfere too much.
“You guys chat, I’ll go back and rest,” Jiang Yueyi greeted the two and left.
Zhou Yining drank orange juice and looked around the study, her eyes swept over the rows of books on the bookshelf, “Have you read all of these?”
Jiang Xizhi’s ears were slightly red, “How could I, they’re all bought for decoration, I haven’t even opened some of them.”
Zhou Yining was amused by her, “You’re quite honest.”
“That’s right, if you like them, you can pick whatever you want,” Jiang Xizhi said quite generously, as she didn’t read extracurricular books much.
Zhou Yining smiled and shook her head, but she thought of her home in her previous life.
