Rebirth of the Best Businesswoman at School Novel - Chapter 326

Chapter 326: Appointment

“I’ll give it to you!” Jian Ai said and picked up the magazine. She said to the boss listening to a drama in the newspaper stand, “Boss, I want this!”

The boss was an older man with glasses on his nose bridge. He looked down at the magazine in Jian Ai’s hand and said, “Four and a half yuan!”

“Xiao Ai, don’t. It’s too expensive!” Guan Tao reacted and quickly stopped her.

Children like them who grew up in the slums would not be willing to spend a few yuan to buy a fashion magazine. However, Jian Ai saw something different in Guan Tao’s eyes. This magazine might be flashy in the eyes of others, but in Guan Tao’s eyes, Jian Ai saw admiration and excitement.

She really liked it.

Therefore, Jian Ai paid the boss and handed the magazine to Guan Tao, ignoring Guan Tao’s words. “I haven’t given you anything all these years. Don’t stand on ceremony with me!”

Guan Tao opened her mouth, but when she heard Jian Ai’s words, she was touched.

She liked these beautifully designed clothes very much. She often looked for fashion magazines that she could read outside the newspaper stand alone, but she had never bought them.

It was the first fashion magazine that belonged to her.

Reaching out to carefully take it, Guan Tao whispered, “Thank you.”

Jian Ai hugged Guan Tao’s shoulder. “I told you not to stand on ceremony with me. It’s just a magazine!”

At this moment, the bus happened to be driving over from afar. Jian Ai quickly pulled Guan Tao’s hand and ran towards the bus stop. “The bus is here. Let’s go!”

Jian Ai went home and changed out of her school uniform. Then, she washed her face before leaving with the key.

Judging by the address Bai Zhou had sent her, Chen Lei’s house was in Xilong Villa of Haicheng District, where land was expensive.

Jian Ai arrived in a taxi and rang the doorbell.

Soon, the door of the villa was pushed open from the inside. A woman who maintained her youthful look appeared at the door in home clothes made of silk.

It was Chen Lei’s wife, Liu Lin.

When she saw Jian Ai, Liu Lin’s eyes lit up. She thought to herself, ‘What a good-looking girl. Her eyes are sparkling.’

“Hello, Auntie. I’m Xiao Ai,” Jian Ai greeted her in a sweet voice.

Liu Lin smiled and quickly moved aside. “Come in, Xiao Ai!”

After entering the villa, Jian Ai changed into her slippers and followed Liu Lin into the living room. It was the first time Liu Lin had seen Jian Ai. She was surprised and couldn’t help but praise, “Xiao Ai, you’re only in high school, right? You’re so capable at such a young age. When your Uncle Chen told me about this, I was shocked!”

Jian Ai had a calm aura that did not belong to her age. She was neither arrogant nor impatient and only had a suitable light smile on her face. Hearing this, she only said humbly, “Auntie, you’re flattering me.”

Liu Lin had a good impression of Jian Ai. Moreover, she was the administrative manager of Century Group, so she naturally knew about the collaboration between the two companies immediately. Although Jian Ai was young, Liu Lin couldn’t treat her as a child, so she was more respectful and polite.

“Your Uncle Chen is changing upstairs. What do you want to drink? Auntie will pour it for you,” Liu Lin raised her eyebrows and asked.

Jian Ai: “Fruit juice. Thank you, Auntie.”

Liu Lin nodded and said that there was no need to stand on ceremony. Then, she went into the kitchen.

Jian Ai sat down on the sofa casually. Soon after, she heard the door open, and a loud boy’s voice traveled in. “Mom, I’m back!”
