Chapter 347 Undercover
"Bai Zhi, my classmate."
Old Zhang put on an extremely serious, businesslike expression and spoke earnestly.
"Jiang Baizhi, the college leadership is taking the verification of the proceeds from this afternoon's charity sale very seriously. We need you to come with me to the conference room."
"Then, I saw that it was lunchtime. Perfect timing, there's a staff lunch in the yard, let's eat and talk about the process."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Cheng's eyes instantly lit up like two-watt light bulbs!
"Amazing! That dad's awesome!"
Zhang Cheng screamed wildly in his heart:
"The hospital's staff meals? Aren't I the family representative?"
"Dad is creating an opportunity for me to be alone with him!"
"Once I'm in that private room, away from my roommates causing trouble, I'm determined to let Bai Zhi, my junior, experience the romance in my architectural designs!"
Although Su Ze and his companions were filled with sorrow, they could only silently shed tears when they saw Old Zhang's face, which seemed to say, "I'm here to discuss official business, all irrelevant people please leave."
Jiang Bai gave a pale smile, made from exhaustion, and replied in a low voice:
"Since it's the school's arrangement, then we'll do as Teacher Zhang says."
"Good! Junior Sister Bai Zhi is very understanding!"
Zhang Cheng was so excited that his palms were sweating, and he quickly stepped forward to help Jiang Bai carry the bear-shaped bag.
Unexpectedly, Old Zhang glared at him sideways and shoved Zhang Cheng to the back:
"What are you doing here? Do you know anything about building laws or accounting? Get out of here!"
Zhang Cheng was dumbfounded: "Dad...I..."
"What do you mean, 'me'? Get out of here!"
Old Zhang glared, exuding an air of authority.
Zhang Cheng shrank his neck. Although he felt as aggrieved as a 200-pound child, when he thought about how his father had just successfully invited the goddess, he suddenly felt that this was the big boss's "test".
"Dad must be worried I'm too frivolous, so he wants to test the waters and find out what Bai Zhi, my junior, likes!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng gave a wise smile that said, "I understand."
He nodded emphatically to Old Zhang, then turned to Jiang Bai and gave him an extremely bright smile:
"Junior Sister Bai Zhi, you go ahead then, see you later!"
As Zhang Cheng watched him go with gratitude and fervor, Old Zhang waved to Jiang Bai:
"Bai Zhi, come with me. The conference room is over there in the office building."
Jiang Bai nodded, carrying his large bear-shaped backpack, and followed Old Zhang step by step out of the group's encirclement.
The shadows of the plane trees surrounding the playground were dappled. As he moved away from the bustling charity sale area, Jiang Bai finally let out a long sigh of relief.
"Phew... Old Zhang, I'll never forget your life-saving grace!"
Jiang Bai chuckled and habitually patted Lao Zhang on the shoulder.
Old Zhang looked like a mine-clearing soldier who had just been discharged from a minefield, wiping the sweat from his forehead with lingering fear.
"Jiang Bai! You little brat!"
"Look at my unfilial son! The way he looked at you just now, he practically wanted to have dinner with you!"
"I almost fainted from his 'wanting to be your brother-in-law' nonsense just now, because I was trying to distract him!"
Jiang Bai completely lost her "goddess aura" at this moment, and chuckled somewhat guiltily, her fox ears twitching playfully with the movement:
"Teacher Zhang, I have no other choice..."
"You still dare to talk back!"
Old Zhang pointed at Jiang Bai's long legs, which were said to make all the boys in the school lose their minds, and his beard trembled with anger.
"Look at what you're wearing! Are you some kind of black-and-white duo?"
"Are you here to harvest the donations, or to harvest the last vestiges of my life?"
Jiang Bai chuckled and quickly patted Old Zhang's back in a fawning manner:
"Calm down, calm down. Thank you so much, Teacher Zhang, for today."
"If it weren't for your shout of 'business is business,' I guess I would have already been dragged to the Peninsula Hotel by Su Ze and the others to be their mascot."
Old Zhang sighed, looking at Jiang Bai with an extremely complicated expression:
"Jiang Bai..."
"Can you...can you speak to me in your natural voice now?"
Jiang Bai was taken aback for a moment, then very obediently cleared his throat.
"Ahem...Teacher Zhang, is this alright?"
The ethereal, sweet female voice, like a mountain spring, instantly switched to a deep, resonant male voice with a hint of ruggedness within a second.
Old Zhang clutched his chest, swayed three times, and finally exhaled a breath of stale air after a long while:
"Okay... Although it still gives me the creeps, at least it reminds me that you're a real man."
Old Zhang glared resentfully at Jiang Bai, then glanced at the pair of black and white stockings that were enough to set all the boys in the school on fire, and waved his hand as if shooing away flies:
"Let's hurry up and leave! My silly son and Su Ze and the others are probably timing us right now."
"I'll go circle around there a couple more times to buy you another ten minutes."
"Remember, when you come back later, act convincingly, don't give yourself away!"
"Alright! Take care, Teacher Zhang!"
Jiang Bai nodded, and with a flash, disappeared around the corner of the tree-lined path.
Old Zhang stood there, watching Jiang Bai's back, which "caused a floral fragrance due to its speed," before turning around and pretending not to have seen anything.
With his hands behind his back, he slowly began to whistle off-key.
He strolled leisurely towards the other end of the playground, like an old man taking a walk in the park, without the slightest hint of guilt for deceiving his son.
.......
Three minutes later.
The familiar toilet stalls on the top floor of the old teaching building.
"System! Hurry!! Uninstall it with one click!! I want to become a real man again!!"
Jiang Bai started her "violent makeup removal" in the cubicle.
Tear off the wig, take off the black stockings...
[Host, the way you were so eager to come back to your senses just now really resembled a princess frantically running away before Cinderella's transformation was over.]
"Shut up! That's 'Return of the Blade'!"
Five minutes later.
The image in the mirror was completely refreshed.
The fox-eared girl who made all the boys in the school lose their intelligence has disappeared.
Instead, there was Jiang Bai, a tough guy dressed casually, with a straight back and eyes that conveyed a sense of exhaustion, as if he had just finished a hard job.
Jiang Bai tidied his slightly messy hair in front of the mirror, and even deliberately smeared a layer of water on his forehead to disguise it as sweat.
"Perfect."
He took a deep breath and strode back to the playground.
.......
At this moment, in front of the charity sale stall.
Su Ze, Gu Dapeng, and Lin Le sat on small stools, looking utterly dejected, like eggplants that had been hit by frost.
Zhang Cheng, standing to the side, appeared extremely excited, unable to contain his joy.
"Oh, everyone's here?"
Jiang Bai pretended to be someone who had just been "liberated" from a labor camp.
He walked over, wiping away sweat, his tone revealing impatience and exhaustion:
"I haven't seen anyone all afternoon. I was carrying sound equipment in the arts department and my back is almost broken. I also had to help those directors with their cheering scripts."
"So, how's our class's booth?"
As soon as Su Ze saw Jiang Bai, he jumped up as if he had seen a dear old man.
"Brother-in-law!! You're finally back!!"
Su Ze pointed to the QR code for receiving payments next to him, his voice trembling:
"Our class probably raised around a million yuan in just one afternoon, enough to buy a pair of sneakers for every child in the mountainous areas of the province!"
"Sister Baizhi... she's simply a goddess! She's a true god of wealth descended to earth!!"
Gu Dapeng puffed out his chest and patted Jiang Bai on the shoulder with a proud look on his face:
"Third brother, your sister has really had a tough time."
"Bai Zhi was writing and thanking people over there just now, not even having time to drink water. It broke our hearts to see her like that."
Following their lead, Jiang Bai pretended to be curious and glanced at the high stool, then acted as if he had just discovered something.
"Huh? Where's my sister?"
"I was planning to come over and have dinner with her tonight after I finished work, where did she go?"
Jiang Bai spoke these words without batting an eye, his acting was completely natural.
