Chapter 51: New Opportunity

Guan Xi, with her attractive figure and long legs, wearing this type of uniform doesn’t give off the innocent feeling of a student. Instead, as Lang Ningyi mentioned, it carries a more enticing flavor. After Guan Xi got off him, Jiang Suizhou’s gaze stayed on her, lightly, subtly, concealing a mischievous intent.

“Are you tired? How about you take a rest first, and I’ll ask you later,” Guan Xi suddenly remembered that he just came back and might need a break.

Jiang Suizhou: “My student has called me. Can I take a break?”

Guan Xi hugged his arm, “Of course, you can, consider it break time between classes.”

“The class hasn’t started yet, no need for breaks during this time,” Jiang Suizhou said, “What’s the matter?”

“Oh~ just a little challenge at work.” Guan Xi pulled him towards the study, “Can you take a look for me?”

In the study, Guan Xi pressed him into the office chair and moved the computer in front of him. “It’s the annual plan and proposal from the studio. Can you give me some advice?”

“Just this?” Jiang Suizhou asked.

“Not only this, there are also some contracts.”

Jiang Suizhou nodded, pulled her to sit on his lap, operated the mouse, and circled her in his arms.

“The contracts are still in the living room; I’ll go get them.”

“First, take a look at this.” Jiang Suizhou looked at the computer screen, the lenses reflecting a faint blue light, “Student Guan, don’t have such a big appetite.”

Guan Xi leaned against his chest, and upon hearing this, her hand moved a bit improperly on his leg, “Isn’t it the perfect time to consult the teacher about everything?”

Jiang Suizhou glanced at her, from this angle, he could see her slightly trembling eyelashes and cunning smile, exuding a teasing charm that was both pure and sensual, making people want to unravel it.

Jiang Suizhou spoke in a deep voice, “Don’t be handsy. Are you here to learn or to go to bed?”

Guan Xi immediately withdrew her hand, obediently placing it on the desk, “Okay, teacher! I’m listening attentively.”

Jiang Suizhou retracted his gaze and looked at the screen next to the computer. He had read what Guan Xi had written before, and it was indeed captivating enough to attract attention. However, to treat this as a profession, to become a renowned travel blogger, individual talent was important, but the team’s planning and marketing for her were equally crucial.

Under Guangyi Group, there were also film and television as well as talent incubation companies. Although Jiang Suizhou didn’t need to directly manage them, he was familiar with various marketing methods, including the development of celebrity bloggers. He quickly discerned the strengths and weaknesses of Guan Xi’s plan.

Guan Xi is not very familiar with such matters, but she is not foolish. With Jiang Suizhou’s guidance, she quickly perceives the issues in her plan. Snuggled in his arms, listening to his guidance, Guan Xi also took notes on her phone, intending to discuss it with her colleagues at the studio meeting tomorrow. Half an hour later, they smoothly went through the entire PowerPoint presentation.

After typing the last word, Guan Xi turned around and forcefully kissed Jiang Suizhou on the face, saying, “Professor Jiang, you’re really amazing! I was feeling something was off, but with your explanation, everything makes sense.”

When Miss Guan receives some benefits, she tends to reciprocate with playful actions. Sometimes it’s holding hands, sometimes it’s hugging, and sometimes, like now, it’s a sudden kiss… Jiang Suizhou appreciates these gestures, as they always lift his mood.

However, today, it seems that a simple kiss is not enough. He gently rested his chin on her shoulder and asked, “And then, just a compliment and a kiss is enough?”

Guan Xi didn’t even blink, “What more do you want, Professor Jiang? Anything more would be inappropriate and against professional ethics.”

“Professional ethics? Is it just a teacher’s issue?” Jiang Suizhou said slowly, “Your behavior as a student is not quite standard. Have you ever seen a student sitting on a teacher’s lap, listening to a lecture, and randomly kissing the teacher?”

“Yes, have you not seen movies about teacher-student romance? People are like that.”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah, what’s it called… I’ll find it for you next time.”

“Why bother finding?” Jiang Suizhou kissed her ear and said, “Why not just perform it for me directly?”

Guan Xi, tickled by his kiss, giggled, stood up, and sat in front of him, facing him directly, “Sure, sure, I’ll think about how to act.”

She reached out and touched the tie he hadn’t had time to loosen, “Hmm… you should portray a dignified appearance, dodge when I try to kiss you, evade repeatedly but unable to escape. Then, just push me away directly and say, ‘No, it’s not allowed. I am your teacher, I cannot do this!’ That’s how it goes.”

“Oh,” Jiang Suizhou responded.

Guan Xi pulled his tie, pulled him forward, and quickly got into character. Approaching, pretending to kiss but not really… after several back-and-forths, she lightly touched his lips.

“You’re supposed to dodge…” Guan Xi whispered.

Jiang Suizhou’s lips curled slightly at the corner, and he turned his head slightly to avoid her lips. Guan Xi immediately followed suit. Jiang Suizhou cooperated this time, not letting her get too close. Tilting her head slightly, she let her kisses land on his jaw and neck.

“Have you kissed enough?” After a while, Jiang Suizhou caught her two naughty hands.

He looked at her, his gaze slightly serious, radiating a strong sense of authority. Guan Xi was momentarily stunned, feeling an inexplicable illusion. He was restraining himself, and they were engaged in an questionable teacher-student romance not recognized by society.

Guan Xi: “Haven’t kissed enough… Can’t we keep kissing?”

“No,” he said seriously and solemnly, very real.

For a moment, Guan Xi didn’t know if he was being serious or not, feeling a bit aggrieved. She glanced at him, directly pressed against his forehead, and bit his lips. This time it was a bit intense, and Jiang Suizhou felt pain. He slightly opened his mouth, and Guan Xi took advantage of the opening to entwine with him.

The next step was that Teacher Jiang still felt it was inappropriate and resolutely pushed away Guan Xi!

However, after entangling with him for a while, not only did Guan Xi not feel that Teacher Jiang pushed her away, but this Teacher Jiang even counterattacked. He sucked on her tongue until it went numb.

“Uh… you…” Guan Xi pushed him away with force, “Why aren’t you following my script?”

Jiang Suizhou looked up at her, his eyes seemingly harboring a storm: “I think there’s no need to care about professional ethics.”

Guan Xi: “In movies, it’s not played like this; he pushes away—”

Jiang Suizhou directly lifted her up and pressed her onto the office desk: “In reality, the teacher thinks it’s okay not to push away.”

“Umm, yeah!”

The night was not yet deep, the study room was brightly lit, and the office desk was in disarray. The movie scenes paused, and they returned to their reality, where the illusion and reality collided, passionate and intense. Later, the phone rang, and it was unclear whose it was. But evidently, the two people engaged in mischief didn’t have the leisure to answer the call.

After the ringtone completely stopped intermittently, the emotional voices echoed clearly in the study…

In the end, when Guan Xi was tenderly carried back to the room by Jiang Suizhou, she softly asked, “Whose call was it just now?”

Jiang Suizhou: “I put it on silent. It was yours.”

“Okay… then later, can you bring it for me?”

“Want to take a shower first?”

Guan Xi nodded.

Jiang Suizhou led her to the bathroom. Guan Xi stood there, looking at the wrinkled shirt and the messy skirt pushed up to her waist in the mirror, feeling a bit annoyed as she adjusted her clothes. This was the first time she wore it… Jiang Suizhou was quite assertive.

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Suizhou turned on the water and, seeing her not moving, looked back at her.

Guan Xi pulled her skirt down and said, “You almost tore my dress.”

Jiang Suizhou chuckled, “If I tore it, I’ll compensate you. Come here.”

Guan Xi rubbed against him and walked over, “It’s better if… I’m tired, you help me with the shower.”

Jiang Suizhou reached out to help her undo the intentionally messed-up shirt from earlier, “Okay.”

**

In the following period, Guan Xi went to several countries one after another. When she came back, she spent most of her time at Jiang Suizhou’s house, but occasionally visited the old mansion of the Guan family. During this time, Yang Mingzhi and Guan Xinghao took her to the place where her deceased mother was.

After learning about that place, every time she returned from abroad, she would spend some time there. Sometimes silent, sometimes muttering a few words to herself. She felt that, although the person in the photos on the tombstone was a stranger to her, it made her feel fulfilled. Because she at least knew that her mother didn’t intentionally abandon her; in her lifetime, her mother loved her very much.

**

As the phone rang, Guan Xi was leaving her mother’s place.

Guan Xi answered the phone, “Hello, what’s up?”

On the other end was Wang Qing, “Where are you? When are you coming to the studio?”

“I just have something to deal with, I’ll be there soon.”

“Okay, we’ll discuss the matters related to ‘Our Guesthouse’ when you arrive.”

“Our Guesthouse? Didn’t you mention last time that this show might be arranged with Zhao Xiaorou?”

Guan Xi had met Zhao Xiaorou at the studio before. Unlike Guan Xi, who already had a cooperative agent relationship with the studio, Zhao Xiaorou was under the same studio. With a long career, millions of fans, and being a prominent travel influencer, Zhao Xiaorou was a travel vlogger.

“That was just a possibility mentioned last time. Although you might not be as popular as her right now, Zhao Xiaorou has had some negative publicity, and the production team feels it might not be good for the show,” Wang Qing explained. “So, a few days ago, Director You recommended you to the production team. They think your image and professionalism are a perfect fit, so they agreed quickly.”

Guan Xi had gained a significant number of followers recently, especially after some photos from her trip to Turkey went viral unexpectedly.

Recently, Guan Xi’s business collaborations had been continuous, but she hadn’t considered participating in programs or making public appearances. After Wang Qing’s proposal, she hesitated, saying, “I need to think about this.”

“Oh, don’t overthink it. Relax, we’re not asking you to engage in drama or sensationalism like those actors. You just need to stay for two nights, provide feedback on the guesthouse and surrounding entertainment projects. It’s just one episode, very straightforward. The program invites professionals like you to highlight expertise. You must go; it’s also good publicity for us,” Wang Qing insisted.
