Chapter 253: 220 Ultra-Terrifying Demon Major!
Old Madam Jiang originally wanted to make introductions, but to her surprise, Mr. Shen took the initiative to start a conversation.
He must have seen Yeye’s large photo downstairs, that’s why he recognized her.
Even so, Mr. Shen taking the initiative to shake hands and even introducing himself by name was still quite a miraculous event.
This was a treatment many company bosses wouldn’t even dare to dream of; his secretary and entourage, though silent, had looks of astonishment in their eyes.
Seeing that Xia Ye didn’t react, Old Madam Jiang reminded her with a smile, "Yeye, hurry and shake hands with Mr. Shen."
Xia Ye paused for a few seconds before her beautiful hand finally emerged from her pocket.
A deeper smile appeared in Shen Zhixi’s eyes.
"Little Tiangao."
But before their hands could touch, a very serene voice sounded from behind.
Shen Zhixi’s expression changed subtly.
With her handshake interrupted, Xia Ye naturally withdrew her hand, greeted him with words instead, and then went over to Jiang Xuan.
Old Madam Jiang chuckled and covered for her, "Mr. Shen, don’t mind, young people aren’t so particular. This little one has a good heart..."
Shen Zhixi smiled lightly, "Understood."
Old Madam Jiang nodded and as she turned to leave, the ripples in Shen Zhixi’s previously soft and rippling eyes immediately contracted, hiding the lively light and becoming dark, deep, and calm.
He stared in the direction where Xia Ye and Jiang Xuan had left, then after a moment, his eyelids slightly drooped, the lenses of his glasses reflected light, and his expression was obscured by shadow, indecipherable.
Jiang Xuan noticed that Xia Ye hadn’t drunk any alcohol; the little girl looked really well-behaved, and he smiled, lifting his hand to tousle her hair, "The new product launch is set for the 15th of next month."
Xia Ye’s hands were buried in her pockets as she scrutinized his face, "Okay."
Jiang Xuan tilted his chin up slightly, "Aren’t you going to ask why it’s been scheduled for that day?"
Xia Ye didn’t catch on, "Isn’t that the date decided by your meeting?"
Jiang Xuan didn’t explain, "If there’s an issue with the timing, let me know, and I’ll have them change it."
Xia Ye agreed, her inquisitive gaze still on his face.
Jiang Xuan’s eyes and brows carried a smile, "What are you looking at?"
Xia Ye, "You still look better."
"Hmm?" Jiang Xuan laughed.
He didn’t seriously ask, so Xia Ye didn’t answer.
That Mr. Shen was quite handsome, but he still wasn’t quite up to Uncle Jiang’s level.
Jiang Xuan had to get back to his company matters, so after a few words in the hall, he glanced toward the elevator before leaving.
Shen Zhixi’s wheelchair had just entered the elevator.
The guest area was also wrapping up, and squads of old veterans were exiting through the main door.
Tian Hanwen’s radar immediately picked up on the boss.
"Yeye!"
He waved and was about to head over to Xia Ye when several people emerged from behind him and got to her first.
The old veterans, usually steady and no faster than 200 meters per hour, now covered ground in leaps and bounds, showcasing the vigor of men in their prime.
"Little Yeye!"
"Classmate Xia!"
"Little Genius! Do you still remember Grandpa Tan?"
At this sight, even the ancestors instinctively stepped back, "You all, calm down a bit..."

Three days later, it was the day to return to First Middle School.
Xia Ye wore a mask and topped it off with a hat.
As she turned toward the academic building, Tang Tianjiao slapped her from behind, her tone unusually exuberant, "Brother Ye!"
Xia Ye turned around, looked at her in shock, and pulled down her mask, "You can recognize me like this?"
Tang Tianjiao laughed, "What’s so hard about that? Even if you only showed a strand of your hair, I could recognize you! Who made you my Brother Ye?"
Today’s return to school had two main tasks.
1. Retrieve academic records.
2. Discuss university applications.
Some students’ parents also came along but unlike during parent-teacher meetings, there weren’t many parents in the classrooms; most lingered near the office building.
Although getting good grades is important, the step of choosing a major is even more critical.
If one can select a major that the student likes and also make the most of their scores, it’s as good as scoring extra points on the exam.
With most families nowadays having only one child, parents also lack experience and can only turn to teachers for guidance.
In the classroom, class advisors retrieved students’ records and students helped to distribute them.
For class 19, Emperor Yang handed Xia Ye’s to her, specifically tapping her desk with a smile, "You did well on the test, I’m very happy for you."
Xia Ye had just hung up another phone call, "Thanks, Brother Yang."
In recent days, schools had been calling from Xia Ye’s home landline all the way to her own cellphone.
She always hung up directly, but those numbers still persistently called, and she couldn’t just turn off her phone for 24 hours; it was incredibly annoying.
