Rebirth: I Am Not the Movie Queen This Time-Chapter 31: A Voice

Manager Bai was not convinced by Wan Chu’er’s words at all, instead he dragged her into a winding conversation.

Soon they approached the area near the Glass Factory Family Quarters.

As she was about to get off the car, Wan Chu’er said, "Heavenly World can focus on two aspects, first is the invisible service, since labor is cheap, using service to earn money is most cost-effective; second is to put effort into beverages and drinks, these two are the major sources of revenue."

Manager Bai smiled indifferently and instructed her, "Alright, I will help you. You should just focus on studying well, you’re just a high school student, how would you know how to run a nightclub?"

Seeing that Manager Bai didn’t believe her, Wan Chu’er didn’t persist. She thought to herself, once Liu Li’s matter is settled, she would find some time to write a nightclub management proposal for him and thus repay this favor.

That evening during the evening self-study, Liu Li did not show up, Wan Chu’er simply raised her eyebrows and didn’t concern herself about it; instead, she buried her head in her books and continued with her own exercises.

Wan Chu’er had been this diligent and studious for a whole week, which left her new deskmate, Zeng Xinran, quite surprised.

Initially when they switched seats, Zeng Xinran had an aloof attitude towards Wan Chu’er. However, after observing her for a week, her attitude changed. In a climate focused on preparing for the college entrance exam where everyone is studious, no one was as dedicated as Wan Chu’er, not wasting even a minute.

During class, Wan Chu’er’s notebook was densely filled, as if she noted down every single word the teacher said.

During the ten-minute class breaks, Wan Chu’er was always studying, even when she went out to the restroom, Zeng Xinran noticed that Wan Chu’er was muttering words, possibly reciting English vocabulary.

Zeng Xinran tried to initiate conversation with Wan Chu’er, but unfortunately, Wan Chu’er didn’t respond at all, which annoyed Zeng Xinran somewhat.

Being sixteen or seventeen, with a strong sense of self-pride, a setback would easily make one retreat to their comfort zone.

With gritted teeth, Zeng Xinran thought, "We’ll see what level Wan Chu’er truly has during the monthly test, whether she’s all show and no substance."

Previously, everyone spread rumors that Liu Li’s performance was actually Wan Chu’er’s, but Zeng Xinran didn’t quite believe it.

But seeing how hard Wan Chu’er studied, Zeng Xinran felt somewhat uncomfortable. Each time class ended, she would chat with classmates around to disrupt Wan Chu’er’s study routine and distract her attention, but Wan Chu’er completely ignored this, leaving herself feeling even more annoyed.

Wan Chu’er didn’t care who her deskmate was, nor did she intend to befriend anyone in the class. After graduating high school in her past life, she hadn’t kept in touch with anyone, and it was no big deal.

So, in this life, she still chose not to socialize with anyone in the class, focusing solely on studying.

As for the surrounding noise, she simply didn’t notice it and buried her head in her books.

The next morning, Liu Li, looking exhausted, handed Wan Chu’er fifteen yuan, saying she would return the remaining ten yuan tomorrow.

Wan Chu’er picked up the ten yuan and sniffed it lightly, not sure if it was her psychological effect, feeling she could smell a hint of cigarette and alcohol.

On Thursday, Liu Li continued to hand Wan Chu’er fifteen yuan, since it was money earned from her own labor, Liu Li’s spine seemed straighter than before and her confidence was boosted.

Moreover, having cleaned at Heavenly World for two days, she considered herself more experienced than the classmates who only knew how to study, and unconsciously felt a sense of superiority.

Watching Liu Li’s retreating figure, Wan Chu’er curved the corners of her mouth and called out to her.

"Liu Li."

At the moment she was called, Liu Li was secretly despising Wan Chu’er, thinking of her as a parasite who only knew how to ask for money, while she herself was already earning her own.

Upon hearing Wan Chu’er’s voice, Liu Li quickly stopped and turned around, a look of impatience on her face, and she preemptively said:

"Like I said, the ten yuan I owe you, I will pay you back later, what’s the rush!"

Heh, she can make her own money now, she’s feeling confident, Wan Chu’er thought sarcastically.

She calmly said, "Liu Li, I’ve changed my mind."

Liu Li blurted out, "What do you want to do? I’m not refusing to pay you!"

Unperturbed, Wan Chu’er continued, "I think US$ 15 a day is too slow, I want to take the remaining 995 yuan all at once."

What? Liu Li thought this Wan Chu’er was simply ridiculous, who did she think she was, to do as she pleased? It was already lenient enough not to deny the debt, and now to make such a demand.

Liu Li sneered and said, "Wan Chu’er, don’t be too excessive. We agreed to repay daily, so it will be daily. Don’t be so capricious; don’t be too arbitrary as a person."

Now that she could earn her own money, Liu Li was quite confident and took the opportunity to lecture Wan Chu’er.

It felt really good to scold this contemptible person, Liu Li continued in a burning, compelling tone: "One must be content, especially people like you who live off others every day, only stretching out hands asking for things and money..."

Wan Chu’er had no time and patience to listen to Liu Li’s nonsensical preaching and cut her off: fгeewebnovёl.com

"Fine, then continue giving me US$ 15 every day."

Liu Li thought Wan Chu’er had given in and smiled smugly, then left the classroom.

That evening, Liu Li again did not show up for the night self-study; who knows what excuse she and Teacher Zhu used. Last time she took a Saturday off, Teacher Zhu was reluctant, and now Liu Li had been absent for several nights without any comments from Teacher Zhu; Liu Li really had her ways.

The next day, as Liu Li was walking towards Wan Chu’er, before she could even give the money, Wan Chu’er suddenly shouted:

"Everyone come and see, the bully Liu Li, who oppresses her classmates, is here to repay the debt. Liu Li owes me a total of 1,200 yuan. Out of my magnanimity, I agreed for her to repay US$ 15 daily, and she is about to pay me now, everyone witness this, and let this be a lesson for everyone..."

This sudden shout startled Liu Li, and the classmates in the room were also taken aback.

Once Liu Li came to her senses, she hurriedly tried to stop Wan Chu’er, even attempting to cover Wan Chu’er’s mouth.

So embarrassing!

"Wan Chu’er, shut up!"

Wan Chu’er obediently fell silent, smilingly said, "I’m telling the truth, and every time you repay me, I’ll have our classmates witness it."

Liu Li became furious and wanted to say something, but seeing Wan Chu’er’s fearless expression, even holding the written IOU in her hand, she had no choice but to throw down the money and run.

Wan Chu’er gracefully pocketed the US$ 15 on the table, then just like nothing had happened, she bent her head down to study and write.

The classmates around the classroom watched in stunned silence.

Desk mate Zeng Xinran swallowed hard, feeling that Wan Chu’er was not someone to mess with, and firmly resolved never to provoke her.

Wan Chu’er was unaware of Zeng Xinran’s thoughts; if she had known, she might have applauded herself for that shout.
