Chapter 208 Inappropriate Praise

Gu Tingzhou said somewhat embarrassedly: "If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten about this matter."

"When I heard you say you made a mistake in your calculations, I thought you were not good at math. Later, when the teacher read out the student numbers, I realized you were number 3 in the class."

Gu Tingzhou still remembers the student numbers. The top student was number 1, and the second was number 2. When he was in the first grade, he was number 3 in the class, which was not a very satisfactory result. In the second grade, he was no longer number 3, but number 2. In the third grade, he was number 1, but this "number 1" did not lead him to a satisfactory future.

Song Yihan obviously wanted to praise Gu Tingzhou by saying these words, but her words had the opposite effect.

In Gu Tingzhou's eyes, Song Yihan saw something not so positive, something like confusion and regret.

Zhao Yuxi kept an eye on the expressions of Song Yihan and Gu Tingzhou. She seemed to see victory waving to her: You really don't understand Gu Tingzhou! If you knew him, you shouldn't mention his academic performance in front of him. In your eyes, his academic performance is very good, but in the eyes of his high school classmates and in his own eyes, his grades are not very good. Your praise is meaningless. Gu Tingzhou likes you, but he doesn't like you to praise his good academic performance.

Song Yihan was still thinking about what she should say next to help Gu Tingzhou get rid of his confusion. She remembered what Zhao Yuxi once said, "He is rather dull and doesn't know how to be flexible." He was dull before, and he is not very smart now. No one has ever praised him for being smart. If I praise him for being a smart person, will he agree? Can he accept it?

"He is much more lively and clever than he was four years ago, and he understands girls' minds better."

Zhao Yuxi almost wanted to sneer: He is an ancient, he is the dean of a powerful branch, he is the spokesperson of the Star Lord, after having all these, of course he will become more lively. When you have powerful power, you will also become lively and cheerful. Although there is no causal relationship between the two, it is the fact. As for him being smarter than four years ago, that is natural, otherwise these four years would have been wasted. He understands girls' minds better, that's because I taught him.

Gu Tingzhou is more lively and understands girls' minds better than four years ago. He knows that all this is due to Zhao Yuxi. If Zhao Yuxi is not in the same province as him, if Zhao Yuxi does not come to him and conspire with him, then he will still be the same person with spiral power, and he will still be the same inactive person. If Zhao Yuxi does not treat him well, he will not be able to understand the minds of girls of the same age.

Gu Tingzhou made no secret of his gratitude to Zhao Yuxi: "Thanks to Zhao Yuxi, I can become more lively. Thanks to my friends around me, Mu Zhengguang, Xu Yingze, and Jiang Mengxi, I have learned a lot from them."

Zhao Yuxi was surprised: The second sentence you said was also true! If you say that you learned something from Xu Yingze and Mu Zhengguang, that's possible, but what did Jiang Mengxi teach you? Have you met her many times? You are both responsible for the structural law project. Could she have taught you about work? This possibility is not ruled out. Judging from the efficiency of collecting information, Jiang Mengxi's work ability is not bad.

When Song Yihan heard "thanks to Zhao Yuxi", she was a little dissatisfied with Gu Tingzhou: I am still in front of you, and you said "thanks to Zhao Yuxi", isn't this inappropriate? I can give you everything that Zhao Yuxi can give you. I can also give you what Zhao Yuxi can't give you. Why don't you understand my feelings for you?
Song Yihan tried her best to hide her dissatisfaction. Gu Tingzhou couldn't see it, but Zhao Yuxi could.

Zhao Yuxi's eyes were smiling and she was in a good mood. She decided to press on and stimulate Song Yihan again: "In fact, I did very little. Gu Tingzhou is a very good ancient, and of course he can attract other ancients. Without Gu Tingzhou's help, my career would be greatly affected." "Excellent", "ancient", "attract", "help", "career", Song Yihan became more and more annoyed: Do you have to emphasize in front of me many times that you are an ancient and that Gu Tingzhou is an ancient? Can't you say less? I know you are an ancient, you don't have to say it anymore! Can he attract other ancients? I don't think so. So what if he attracted you? You are not with him, and I am the one who is with him! You are the loser, and I am the winner!
Song Yihan told herself over and over again that she must stay calm, she must stay calm: This meal was paid for by Zhao Yuxi, she was the one who treated them, and she should not be angry with her. Let her talk, let her continue to talk, the more she talks, the more mistakes she makes, the worse Gu Tingzhou's impression of her, and the more stable my position will be!
Gu Tingzhou cherished what Zhao Yuxi said: Sister Zhao Yuxi praised me so much in front of the person I like. It is a blessing to have a sister like her. She gave me much more than I gave her. I just helped her a small favor. Most of the things were planned and done by her. We were able to be promoted from the dean of the fourth-level branch to the dean of the second-level branch mainly because of her.

At that time, Zhao Yuxi could become the dean of the second-level branch by cooperating with any other spokesperson. However, without her help, it would be difficult for me to become the dean of the second-level branch. If she loses me, she will only lose a partner. If I lose her, I will suffer heavy losses. Wealth, power, the opportunity to realize my wishes, friends, sister, the opportunity to reunite with Song Yihan, all these things and people will leave me.

Gu Tingzhou responded politely: "No, no, I only did a small part."

"Although it's a small part, it's also very important. I can make new friends because of you. How about I add another bottle of red wine later, and toast to our friendship together? Gu Tingzhou, do you drink?"

"I can drink. Do Mu Zhengguang and Xu Yingze drink?"

"It's okay. We still have grape juice. We are all adults. It's okay to drink a little. And it's red wine, not white wine. There will definitely not be any drunken sex, right?"

When Song Yihan heard the word "promiscuous", her anger almost broke through her reason. She gritted her teeth and kept her lips and tongue stiff in place, otherwise she was afraid that she would suddenly say something loud or two.

Mu Zhengguang and Xu Ying had no experience in drinking alcohol, not even red wine.

Xu Ying thought that she might be able to drink a little red wine, but Zhao Yuxi said "there is also grape juice", so there was no need for her to drink.

"Thank you, Sister Zhao Yuxi. He and I will just drink grape juice."

Zhao Yuxi nodded at her gently: "You're welcome. You drink grape juice and we drink wine. You should drink more, otherwise it would be too unfair."

"it is good."
