Chapter 527: Poaching

Their gazes met again, but they were not as confrontational as before. Jiang Zi did not know his current posture, but the aura that was full of thorns on his body dissipated the moment his eyes met those autumn-like pupils.
Zhao Hui, who was outside the door, could not hear anything clearly, but he could hear Jiang Zi’s hearty laughter.
Just as he was about to listen again, Zhuang Yan, who had been standing at the side, couldn’t help but tug at Zhao Hui’s sleeve. “Sir, isn’t it bad for us to eavesdrop in the corner like this?”
Zhao Hui pulled back his sleeve impatiently. “What do you mean eavesdropping? It’s not easy for a student from Zhong Chu University to come to our school. Do you think I’ll let him go so easily? What a joke.”
“But if he wants to leave, no matter how much you persuade him, he won’t stay,” Zhuang Yan advised hesitantly.
Zhao Hui’s expression changed. Just as he was about to scold Zhuang Yan, the door behind him opened. Jiang Zi looked at the two of them standing at the door in surprise. “You haven’t left?”
Zhao Hui put away the words he was about to reprimand and looked at Jiang Zi with a smile. “How is it? Have you changed your mind after talking to your student?”
Jiang Zi seemed to have thought of something and the corners of his lips curled up. Zhao Hui’s good student had tried her best to poach him. If Zhao Hui found out, he would probably fly into a rage.
Gu Man also walked out at this moment, but she did not look at them after she came out. Instead, she walked straight out.
Seeing this, Zhao Hui quickly pulled her arm. “Hey, Gu Man, right? Why didn’t you even greet the teacher before leaving?”
Gu Man stopped in her tracks and tilted her head. “Goodbye, Teacher?”
Zhao Hui was very dissatisfied with Gu Man’s sloppy attitude. His eyebrows furrowed tightly as he sized Gu Man up. He placed his hands behind his back and assumed the posture of a teacher. “Let me tell you, although you’re good at your studies, this shouldn’t be the capital for you to be arrogant. It’s precisely because you’re good at your studies that you have to learn to be humble.”
Gu Man looked at Jiang Zi beside her and gestured to him with her eyes. Jiang Zi, who was originally watching a good show, could only be forced to stand up. “Director Zhao, there are always many regrets in life. Isn’t my departure one of them? So you have to learn to accept it.”
After Jiang Zi diverted his attention, Zhao Hui immediately ignored Gu Man and turned to face Jiang Zi.
Gu Man took this opportunity to walk out. After taking a step, she turned around and nodded, but she quickly looked away.
Jiang Zi stared at Gu Man’s back and revealed a meaningful smile.
After Gu Man returned to the classroom, she had just sat down when her watch kept vibrating. She looked down and realized that it was a call from Zhou Yan.
Ever since she left her contact number at the hospital last time, the two of them did not contact each other during this period. As soon as Zhou Yan contacted her, Gu Man basically guessed that it was probably about Chu An.
She took out her phone from the table pocket. The stool had yet to warm up. She turned around and walked into the toilet. The call just now had already hung up automatically. Gu Man called back, but the cell phone vibrated for a long time and the other party did not pick up.
Gu Man did not continue calling. Instead, she went to the office to quickly apply for leave before turning around to take a taxi home.
She did not know if her grandmother and the others had something on. After Gu Man returned home, there was no one at home. She did not care about this and returned to her room to turn on her computer.
Her slender fingertips quickly typed on the keyboard. The computer screen kept jumping and flashing. Soon, her movements slowed down, and Gu Man locked onto Zhou Yan’s location.
She stared at the seat above and left the room. She took a taxi there.
After she arrived, the smell of trash assaulted her face as soon as she got out of the car. She was surrounded by dilapidated neighborhoods. It seemed like they had been established for a long time.
On the way, there were many commoners and old men waving broken fans.
Gu Man frowned and looked at her surroundings. There were no specific buildings here. All the buildings were intertwined in a complicated manner.
She looked down at the location on her phone and walked forward..
