Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

“No need.” Tan Ron rejected Deng Yao. “We still have a match in the afternoon. It’s not suitable for us to eat out. Besides, the quality of the food outside may not be guaranteed. It might affect the match in the afternoon.”

Deng Yao thought about it for a moment. It was indeed reasonable. The place he was taking them to eat was too far away. It would take a lot of time to go back and forth. In this way, they would not have time to rest.

“Then let’s eat in the cafeteria then.” Deng Yao said awkwardly, “But the food in the canteen was arranged by the organizer. I don’t think it’ll be that great.”

“If it weren’t for your junior Tao Yue, we would have already finished our meal and come back to rest.”

Deng Yao did not understand what she meant. “Huh?”

“Li Li, stop talking. Hurry up and eat,” Lu Qing said.

Li Li was also hungry. She didn’t want to be entangled with them anymore, so she pulled Tan Ron’s arm. “Rourou, let’s go eat. The number one socialite from the Capital doesn’t need to eat, but small figures like us do.”

Tan Rou gave Li Ji a thumbs up in her heart. This girl’s chain of thoughts have gotten better recently. Her ability to be sarcastic had also improved as well.

They had been talking for too long, and there were not many seats left in the cafeteria. If they wanted to sit down and eat, they had to squeeze together.

Tan Rou and the other two walked quickly and found a seat that was empty. Tao Yue walked slowly, and the other two boys had to wait for her. So, after the meal, there were only a few seats left next to Tan Rou.

When Deng Yao saw Tan Rou and the others, he was very happy. “Let’s squeeze together. There’s no more seats left anyways.”

Tan Rou and Li Li moved to the right, leaving an empty seat for one person. Although they didn’t want to sit with Tao Yue, this was the cafeteria, so everyone could sit as they pleased.

Li Li was a talkative person and Deng Yao was one as well. The two of them chatted non-stop, and in a short while, they had thoroughly exposed each other.

But they knew what they could say and what they couldn’t.

Tan Rou also wanted to hear about her opponent’s situation, so she let Li Li speak. Once Li Li said something that she couldn’t say, she would remind her.

“That’s why our Rourou always gets first place in every exam, and she gets full marks in comprehensive science. Other than a little bit of marks for Chinese and English essays, she doesn’t get any marks deducted for other subjects.” Li Li said proudly.

Deng Yao said again, “You’re really amazing! Although I came to participate in this competition today, I’m partial to my subjects. My English and Chinese are not very good, and I often fail in them.”

Li Li continued, “My grades weren’t good in the past either but ever since I became Xiao Ron’s deskmate, my grades have skyrocketed. Now, 1 even rank in the top 30 of the grade.”

Deng Yao caught the main point. “You’re deskmates? Are you in the same class?”

Li Li then quickly introduced them, “Yes, the three of us are in the same class. She introduced Tan Rou and Lu Qing. These two are the first and second in our class, and also the first and second in our school.”

“Is your class one of the best? Deng Yao was very surprised.

“All three of you are from the same class?”

Before Li Li could say anything, Gao Ming, who was beside Deng Yao, could not help but say, “It means that the students in their city are all trash. Otherwise, why would there be three of them in their school at once?”

“You three seem to be from the same school, right?” Tan Rou asked.

The atmosphere then turned quiet. Deng Yao opened and closed his mouth, not knowing what to say to ease the awkward atmosphere. Lu Qing glanced at Tan Rou and continued eating. Li Li was stunned and wondered why this boy sitting with them had to pull a trigger himself.

Tao Yue sat next to Li Li, facing Gao Ming. She wanted to stop Gao Ming when he said that.

Gao Ming realized that he had said the wrong thing, but he did not want to admit that he was trash, so he said loudly, “Our school is the best school in the entire Capital. Every student in the school is very outstanding. It’s not something that the school in your small place can compare to.”

Li Li muttered softly, “They say that they’re the best school in the capital and have the best students. Aren’t their scores still lower than ours in the team competition? It doesn’t matter which school you’re from. It is the student’s grades that matter.”

Tan Rou put down her chopsticks and asked Li Li, “Li Li, I’m full. Do you still want to eat?”

Li Li finished the drumstick in two bites. “I’m done.”

Lu Qing also packed up the plates and said, “Let’s go..”
