Master Pei's Wife is a Devil Concubine Chapter 161 - Su Ji's Operation

Chapter 161: Su Ji’s Operation

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

It was the weekend, everyone was finally resting.

However, in the house on the right, Pei Huai and Su Cunyi didn’t seem to want to leave the house.

Ten minutes ago.

Su Ji and Xu Mingzhi were practicing martial arts in the courtyard, while Pei Huai and Su Cunyi were reading in the living room.

“CEO Pei, the weather is so good today. Why don’t you go to the courtyard to exercise?”

He had a good night’s sleep on the first night he shared a house with CEO Pei. His house was very clean and tidy, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner.

Pei Huai flipped a page of his book without changing his expression, “the elderly need more exercise, you should go.”

Su Cunyi was speechless.

Who’s the elderly?!

Uncle He was the only one who went out. He carried a water pipe and went to the courtyard to water the plants.

When he saw Xu Mingzhi and Su Ji, he smiled and nodded at them.

However, just as Su Ji was about to greet him, she was pulled back into the room by Xu Mingzhi. Before they went in, Xu Mingzhi stuck her head out again and glanced at Uncle He.

Tsk, tsk, we can’t judge a book by its cover!

Uncle He’s reputation was ruined for no reason!

Su Cunyi and Pei Huai read books in silence for a few minutes. Suddenly, through the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, they noticed a man stepping into the courtyard next door.

The two of them, who were sitting in the living room a second ago, instantly moved to the far left side of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Due to the angle, they could only see the door of the house.

Pei Huai took a photo of the man without a change in his expression and called Shen Mu. “Check him.”

“I should be more worried because of this man’s age, right?” Su Cunyi glanced at him.

Uncle He, who had just returned from the courtyard, looked at the two of them, who were filled with a sense of crisis. The man’s hair was white! The two of you shouldn’t have to worry anymore!

Pei Huai received a reply half a minute later.

“I’ve found out. It’s Professor Zhu from the Calligraphy Department of A University.”

As if nothing had happened, the two of them returned to the coffee table and continued reading.

The crisis was resolved.

At the same time, in the neighboring room.

Zhu Mingzhang knocked on Su Ji’s door with great sincerity.

Upon hearing that it was the head of the Calligraphy Department of A University, Xu Mingzhi was relieved and welcomed him into the house.

Su Ji had just come out of the shower and recognized him at a glance, “Professor Zhu?”

Zhu Mingzhang placed his hands on his knees in a well-behaved manner, and his flushed face seemed to be saying, “I said I would come back!

Xu Mingzhi smiled and gestured for Su Ji to sit beside her. Zhu Mingzhang politely told Xu Mingzhi what he said to Su Ji last time.

“You want to be my daughter’s student?” Xu Mingzhi asked.

Zhu Mingzhang replied calmly, “I understand that you must also find this matter hard to believe. However, I am indeed very sincere. I would like to have Su Ji as my master.”

Xu Mingzhi glanced at her daughter. She did not find it hard to believe.

If he didn’t want her daughter to be his master, did he want to be her daughter’s master?

“What are the benefits?” Su Ji asked directly.

To be someone’s master was not as simple as just having an empty t.i.tle. She had to teach them at least one cla.s.s a week.

If Su Ji were to become a master, she would be a very dedicated master. Therefore, she would need to consider the rewards before she took on this responsibility.

“Regarding the fees…”

“Let’s talk about this last. Let’s talk about the other benefits first,” Su Ji said.

Zhu Mingzhang understood. Su Ji was not saying that she did not want any fees, but that this could be discussed at the end.

He narrowed his eyes and took out his secret weapon. It was a notice downloaded from the Kyokus.h.i.+n’s academic affairs office.

Xu Mingzhi took it and looked at it, and her expression froze for a moment…

[ “As the best arts school in the country, we also promote traditional Chinese arts such as calligraphy, Chinese painting, and folk music.” ]

[ “We’ve just received a notice that the state will be holding a National Calligraphy Compet.i.tion in February next year. There is no age limit for the partic.i.p.ants.” ]

[ “In order to increase partic.i.p.ation, we hereby announce that any student who wins the third prize in the calligraphy compet.i.tion will be rewarded with 20 credits, the second prize will be rewarded with 30 credits, and the first prize will be rewarded with 50 credits!” ]

Xu Mingzhi pointed at the last sentence. “Baby, it’s exactly 50 credits.”

They were just talking about that yesterday!

Amazing!

Su Ji frowned, not very satisfied with this method, “I have to partic.i.p.ate in a compet.i.tion again. I don’t know if I can fit it in my schedule.”

Zhu Mingzhang’s lips curved into a profound smile. He had already thought of Su Ji’s worries, so before he came here today, he had specially asked them to add an additional statement in small print at the end of the letter.

He pointed it out to them.

[ “P.s. if there is a proven master-student relations.h.i.+p, the master can inherit the credits if the student wins.” ]

Su Ji raised her eyebrows slightly. No wonder Professor Zhu felt so confident when he entered the house.

In fact, Zhu Mingzhang had not thought of such a good idea in the beginning. He had been worrying about how to get Su Ji to accept him as a student, so much so that he could barely teach his cla.s.ses.

Later, by chance, he found Su Ji’s art school teacher, Liu Yiqing, and it was Liu Yiqing who helped him come up with this idea.

Liu Yiqing was really afraid that Su Ji would not be able to graduate successfully!

Su Ji’s fair fingers stroked her chin.

It was a good way to save time.

However…

“Professor Zhu, how can you be so sure that you will win?” She smiled.

Professor Zhu was stunned by her question.

He was the head of the Chinese Calligraphy a.s.sociation. How could Su Ji question his chances of winning a calligraphy compet.i.tion?

However, Su Ji did.

She had never believed in t.i.tles and seniority. Every year, there were countless talented newcomers.

Perhaps a dark horse would appear out of nowhere and defeat him, a leading figure in the calligraphy world.

“Don’t worry. As long as you’re willing to be my master, I’ll definitely work a hundred times harder. I won’t let you down and will definitely help you win the champions.h.i.+p!” Zhu Mingzhang said firmly.

As the most successful merchant in the great Shang, Su Ji knew not to put all eggs in one basket.

The young girl’s crafty eyes flickered. She already had an idea in her heart, so she didn’t say anything more and agreed.

“Alright, I agree to be your master.”

Zhu Mingzhang was overjoyed. He was so excited that he almost kowtowed to her on the spot. Fortunately, Su Ji stopped him.

“Master, please just state the price!” Zhu Mingzhang was so excited that his breath was unsteady.

“30,000 yuan per lesson,” Su Ji replied with a smile.

“So cheap?” Zhu Mingzhang thought that it would be at least a few hundred thousand.

“Yes,” Su Ji nodded slowly.

Xu Mingzhi knew what her daughter was thinking with a single glance.

As expected of her baby.

Only Zhu Mingzhang was still kept in the dark, and he was still in awe of his master for treating money like dirt and charging him so little!

Su Ji did not explain much to him. She would know the day after tomorrow anyway.

“Then the day after tomorrow, at 8 p.m. on Monday, the first online cla.s.s will officially begin?” She smiled.

“No problem!” Zhu Mingzhang replied.
