Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Demon Lord of Mayhem?

    On this day, as soon as An Junxi arrived at the company and was about to enter the door, she saw He Tian waiting for her there. Seeing her approach, he quickly ran over and said, "Jun Xi, Li Hui is here."

    It had been several days since their meeting at the hotel. Is she here because she’s figured out how to apologize?

    An Junxi entered, seeing Li Hui and Gong Xiaoyu talking. Liu Zejia stood aside, his little face still streaked with tears, clearly having just cried.

    What’s going on?

    Before An Junxi could speak, Li Hui took the initiative and said, "Teacher An, I went home and gave my son a beating. He admitted that he lied about the teacher hitting him. He was upset that the teacher disciplined him, so he lied and made a false accusation, causing this misunderstanding. This is due to my poor parenting. I beg you, please don’t hold this against us." After speaking, she gave Liu Zejia’s butt a heavy slap again. Liu Zejia cried out in pain; being beaten in front of so many people naturally made him feel embarrassed and aggrieved.

    Li Hui pointed at him angrily and said, "It’s all your fault for making Mommy wrongly blame the teacher. You still dare to cry? Cry again, and I’ll hit you again!"

    Liu Zejia closed his mouth, looking at An Junxi with a few traces of resentment in his eyes.

    An Junxi felt a chill in her heart. A child so young already understands how to hold a grudge. Si Yuan really dared not take in this child.

    Li Hui’s harsh treatment of her child in front of them was an attempt to find a way out of the situation, but she used the wrong method. Pushing all the blame onto the child, such parents are really exasperating. If it weren’t for her poor usual parenting, would the child lie so smoothly?

    An Junxi glanced at her senior, and Gong Xiaoyu shook her head at her.

    It meant not to reconcile with Li Hui.

    So she said, "Manager Li, hitting the child won’t solve the problem. The child still needs proper guidance. Unfortunately, Liu Zejia is no longer our student. I hope you can also be considerate of his future tutors. Besides, this incident has caused a significant reputational loss to Si Yuan. Our boss’s opinion is that as long as you make a public apology in the newspaper, it will be enough." This was indeed Gong Xiaoyu’s standpoint.

    Making a public apology in the newspaper would cost quite a bit, but Li Hui was so arrogant that she probably wouldn’t lack this money.

    Li Hui’s expression was awkward. "Teacher An, I am no longer a manager now." It was truly regretful! It wasn’t just her demotion; even the manager who promoted her was subjected to administrative punishment!

    If she had known this earlier, she wouldn’t have butted heads with An Junxi. Who knew she was the tutor of the Gu Group’s little master!

    An Junxi didn’t expect Gu Yikun to act so decisively, really stripping Li Hui of her managerial position?

    She said indifferently, "Ms. Li, with your strong ability, I’m sure you’ll be promoted again soon. We’ll wait to see the apology letter on the newspaper."

    Li Hui lowered her pride and said, "Teacher An, could you speak a few words for me in front of the President..." An Junxi, who frequently went in and out of the Gu Family, must often see the President. If she were willing to say a few good words, Li Hui could surely make a quick comeback.

    An Junxi didn’t want other colleagues to know about her part-time job, so she said, "Ms. Li, I’m just a small figure. How could I have the face to speak to President Gu? If there’s nothing else, please leave. We are about to start classes soon."

    Li Hui could only gloomily take her child and leave. She had never been so humiliated before, hurriedly walking out with her head down. Liu Zejia couldn’t keep up with her pace and was being roughly dragged by the arm. "You walk so slowly, your grades are poor, you’re really useless!"

    Everyone watching just shook their heads, "Having a mother like that, Liu Zejia is truly pitiable."

    An Junxi sighed and started working on her enrollment plans.

    Gong Xiaoyu called her into the office to talk, "I was so afraid that you would sympathize with that child and directly forgive Li Hui."

    An Junxi reacted strongly, "Senior, don’t you know me? Liu Zejia is pitiable, but he cannot be sympathized with! That would harm him!"

    Gong Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Over at Blue Cup, they’re also recruiting. We need to send over art department teachers for training. Choose two teachers to receive the training."

    "Alright," An Junxi discussed some meeting arrangements with Gong Xiaoyu and then said on her way out, "By the way, Senior, there are some small issues with the electrical sockets and faucet in my apartment. Can you ask your aunt whether I should get someone to replace them directly or what should I do?"

    The apartment she lived in was owned by her senior’s aunt, who had emigrated to Canada. They had a few vacant properties. During her job search after graduation, An Junxi needed to find a place to stay, so Gong Xiaoyu mentioned it to her aunt, who rented the apartment to her at a fair price.

    Unwilling to accept other people’s kindness easily, Gong Xiaoyu had said, "My aunt has many properties. She doesn’t mind that little rent. As long as you take good care of the house, it’s fine. She doesn’t feel at ease renting it to someone else either."

    So An Junxi moved in. Otherwise, with her personality, she would never spend a lot of money on a high-end apartment.

    The rent her senior’s aunt charged was just that of a suburban house, she had indeed met a very kind person.

    However, An Junxi didn’t have her aunt’s contact information. Usually, it was her senior who conveyed messages. In fact, she hardly needed to contact the landlord, as she just paid the rent by transfer every month.

    Gong Xiaoyu said, "I’ll find someone to fix it. Changing electrical sockets isn’t difficult, but you shouldn’t do it yourself. Safety first."

    "Alright."

    An Junxi selected two teachers to go to Blue Cup for training. She spent the whole day working on the enrollment plans and only finished a rough draft, planning to work overtime at home in the evening.

    After work, as usual, she first went to the Gu Family to tutor Gu Jinxiu. She taught him phonics. Gu Jinxiu learned everything quickly. Out of all the children An Junxi had come across, she found Gu Jinxiu to be exceptionally intelligent and not hard to teach.

    Housekeeper Cheng said to her, "The young master has hired several tutors for the kid before, but none of them lasted long. The little master really listens to Miss An."

    So that’s how it is. No wonder the servants at the Gu Family all looked at her with inexplicable admiration.

    She found it amusing to think about it. The first time she had met Gu Jinxiu, he was practically the Demon Lord of Mayhem, wasn’t he?

    In order to eat what An Junxi cooked, Gu Jinxiu didn’t let her worry at all. He finished his homework early and handed it to her for inspection, then started placing his orders, "Sister Jun Xi, tonight I want to eat abalone in sauce."

    This request was totally out of An Junxi’s league, "I have never cooked such fancy ingredients."

    Looking in the kitchen fridge, the abalone had been air-shipped from South Africa to Yan City. It wasn’t just her, even the two seasoned employees, He Jiejie and Sister Li, weren’t confident in preparing such ingredients. Usually, there was a dedicated chef for that. Otherwise, it would be a waste if something went wrong.

    Gu Jinxiu was very easygoing, "Then just make any simple stew, I like anything you cook."

    "Really giving me face?" The little devil had become so well-behaved; An Junxi felt a bit unaccustomed.

    Unable to resist Gu Jinxiu’s pleading, An Junxi occupied the kitchen once again.
