Chapter 25: Classmate

The next morning, Qu Zhi started to put on her makeup. The sky was still bright, so she turned on the light on the dressing table.

She was so excited that she couldn’t fall asleep even if she lay down. She might as well start preparing early and make herself look prettier.

Liang Wen woke up as well.

“You’re up so early, do you want me to send you there?”

“You sleep a little longer, I’ll go there myself.” Qu Zhi was busy untying the curls on her hair.

She didn’t want to trouble Liang Wen. This was her own decision. Besides, if she went to register today, no one would be able to send Chuchu to school.

“Oh, be careful on your way back.” Liang Wen fell asleep again.

Qu Zhi was a little nervous. She didn’t even eat breakfast and hailed a taxi to run to the training institution.

She went there very early, and there were not many people at the registration point. She, a pregnant woman with a big belly, was very conspicuous in the sparse and bright queue. There were two or three people in front of her, but the teacher at the registration office kept staring at her stomach.

Qu Zhi also noticed the strange gazes.

When it was her turn, she still sat down graciously.

“Hello, how should I address you? I’m teacher Liu from Diyun financial management.”

“Qu Zhi.”

“What kind of financial management do you want to learn? Is it for family or business financial management?” Teacher Liu’s phoenix-like eyes blinked as he sized up Qu Zhi’s pregnant belly. “If you’re not free to come to our class, you can’t get a refund if you miss a class.”

“I’m studying family financial management. I need to finish it early.” Qu Zhi had carefully studied this training class.

Ordinary classes had one class a day for three months. Classes that finished early had two classes a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, it will finish in one and a half months.

Qu Zhi had already calculated that she could send Chuchu to class at 9 am and pick her up at 4 pm when the afternoon class ended.

“This class is very intense.” Mr. Liu’s eyes widened. “Please think about it carefully. Many students feel that they can’t keep up with the class after they have chosen.”

“I can do it.” Qu Zhi said in a neutral tone.

She had this confidence. When she was working in the factory, she was one of the best female workers in the factory. The factory manager praised her for being smart and clever.

She was still young and learned things very quickly.

Qu Zhi had completed the procedures and could go with the lesson today.

She chose a seat further back. Her eyes were good, and most importantly, she didn’t have to eat chalk dust.

“Hello.” At that moment, a girl in a floral dress sat beside her. She looked friendly, with dark skin, dark eyes, and two small dimples when she smiled. She was very likable. “Can I sit with you? Big Sister.”

Qu Zhi nodded with a smile.

The last time she had a deskmate was in elementary and middle school, and she had not gone to school since. Qu Zhi felt as if she had returned to her school days, filled with a sense of novelty and excitement.

“My name is Wang Tian, please take care of me.” Wang Tian extended her hand. Her hands were slightly calloused and rough.

“I’m Qu Zhi.” Qu Zhi grabbed her hand and shook it.

This really didn’t seem like the hand of a girl in her early 20s. It was a little hard, but it was very warm.

The morning class was just a general introduction to the course, so it wasn’t difficult. But Qu Zhi still took notes seriously.

Because the afternoon class was about to start at around one o’clock, Qu Zhi had to have lunch at the training institution.

Just as she stood up and was about to leave, Wang Tian pulled her back. “Sister, it’s a long way to get food from here. I’ll get it for you, so don’t leave.”

Qu Zhi was stunned. She didn’t expect her to say something like that. She wanted to refuse, but Wang Tian had already run out.

After a while, Wang Tian returned with two plates of food.

The food here was included in the training fee, and it was unexpectedly healthy. There was no heavy oil or too much salt, and the amount was large.

Perhaps it was because she didn’t eat breakfast this morning and had been studying hard for half a day, but Qu Zhi had a good appetite and she ate twice her usual amount.

Wang Tian also praised, “Sister’s appetite is really good.”

Qu Zhi laughed. This little girl was really likable, making people want to get closer to her.

After some conversation, Qu Zhifound out that Wang Tian didn’t have a job either. Wang Tian had been working in an electronics factory and had just resigned not long ago.

“Why did you resign?” Qu Zhi was quite envious of her. This little girl had a good prospect at first glance. So to be a stay-at-home wife was definitely not her first choice.

“I’m looking for a job in my hometown.” Wang Tian smiled and said to her, “After learning here, I’ll go back to my hometown.”
