Divorce Revenge System: Knowing the Future in Advance

Ding dong! It's time for class to end...

English weekly quiz for the first and second period in the morning.

"Collect the papers from back to front!" Qianbao clapped her hands, wearing smelly-feet-prone stockings and little leather shoes, and clicked away.

Jiang Nian was planning to lie down for a nap when he received a message from Old Tian on his phone.

"Boss, we've scheduled Subject Three, aiming to get the license on Thursday morning directly."

At this, he immediately felt wide awake.

He's about to get his license.

From birth until now, excluding his ID card and social security card, he's gotten a middle school diploma, and now he's about to receive his first official certificate.

He heard that having a driver's license can earn extra credits in college, though he's not sure if that's true.

There's no need to run during the big break.

He looked around and saw the seating arrangement for the quiz still in place. Zhizhi was over at the third big group, and the class president was napping at his desk.

Thinking about it, Jiang Nian got up and left his seat. He ran to the first big group diagonally opposite, shook the napping Li Hua awake, and said excitedly.

"Son, your dad has something to tell you!"

"Hmm?" Li Hua woke up, stared blankly at Jiang Nian for a few seconds, then couldn't hold back, "You bastard!"

"Good news, I'm driving." Jiang Nian tried to invoke fatherly love to bring him back to rationality.

"Driving?" Li Hua indeed regained clarity; men can't resist driving, "What's the license plate?"

Which car are you driving anyway?

"No license plate, your dad's getting his license." Jiang Nian lowered his voice, "Just wait, I'll take you for a spin this weekend."

"Oh, sure, you're actually quite filial... but you won't bring me along as a scapegoat, right?"

Jiang Nian glanced at him, "Can you even be a cushion with your small frame?"

Li Hua thought for a moment, and a sneaky smile appeared on his face.

"You're right, we'll bring Ma Guojun along then!"

"That's exactly what I meant."

Relying on Ma Guojun being far enough away to not hear them due to his change of seat, the two quickly made arrangements for him.

Sleepy-eyed Zhang Ningzhi, awake and having glanced at Jiang Nian smiling mischievously with Li Hua not far away, couldn't help but purse her lips.

"He's probably up to no good."

Jiang Nian was chuckling with Li Hua when suddenly he received a WeChat message from Sister Zhao, asking if he was free to take a call.

His expression changed, thinking he's finally being entrusted to take care of her daughter?

Gotta say, she's got an eye for talent.

He walked towards the end of the hallway, replied "yes," and just after sending the message, he received the call.

"Hello? Sister Zhao, what's up?"

Is it time for matchmaking words?

"Jiang Xiaoge, here's the thing." Zhao Qiuxue's voice carried a hint of apology, "I've resigned, so I'll reimburse you for the membership card I helped with."

Huh? Resigned?

He wanted to ask if she wasn't directly kicked out, but was she too embarrassed to face reality now?

Afraid to make Zhao upset, he held back.

The job market in the county is chaotic; places like gyms could shut down anytime, so it's already good if they settle the wages properly.

Her reimbursement equates to personally giving a significant amount of money to him.

Jiang Nian wasn't in urgent need of money at the moment; besides, it's an implicit cost of completing a system task, so he instinctively refused.

"No need, the card can still be used."

There was a pause for two seconds before someone spoke.

"The boss is planning to run."

Jiang Nian wasn't surprised; he suspected this since he learned she was fired. Directly firing a key employee usually means they're planning to flee.

"In that case, Sister Zhao, if you reimburse me, wouldn't it be a waste?"

"I..." Zhao Qiuxue hesitated for a few seconds, "Sister has money, after all, Jiang Xiaoge, you helped me pass the entry assessment."

"Um..." Jiang Nian felt awkward, wanting to suggest treating it as bride money, "Really, there's no need. I'll go for a refund tomorrow."

"You probably can't refund, right?" Zhao Qiuxue said worriedly, "Some people tried to before and haven't succeeded yet."

Jiang Nian replied, "Locals don't face any refund issues; you can probably get back sixty or seventy percent."

"Really?"

"Yes." Zhao Qiuxue said that if he couldn't refund, she'd pay him back the same amount he bought it for.

They chatted for a while until Zhao Qiuxue was about to hang up.

"Um... Sister Zhao." Jiang Nian coughed, "I heard from Xiao Song that you plan to start group buying with friends out of town?"

"Yes, what's up?" Zhao Qiuxue sounded slightly nervous, "It is the plan, but nothing's decided yet."

Her decisiveness is about as strong as her daughter's, hesitating in action but surviving with high probability.

"A relative of mine did group buying and bought a car in full after just a few days." Jiang Nian said, "Made a loss and sold the Mercedes, swapped it for a YaDi."

Zhao Qiuxue: "....."

This brat really does speak nicely.

"Sister Zhao, what type of community group buying are you planning?" Jiang Nian inquired.

"It's... "

Just as she was about to answer, the bell rang.

"You have class now, right?" Zhao Qiuxue sighed, "Jiang Xiaoge, are you free for lunch?"

"Sure."

......

For the second test, math, Jiang Nian had no time to sneak a glance at the class president. He lowered his head and when he raised it, the bell rang to collect the papers and dismiss the class.

Sigh, time eater.

"I have something to do, I'll leave first." Jiang Nian bid farewell to the class president before leaving; Cai Xiaoqing was already leaning over.

He rarely fixed his meals with anyone mainly because he's used to eating alone, saving more time that way.

Fifteen minutes to settle the battle, then go upstairs to do homework.

Secondly, if you only have meals with one person, over time, it will inevitably become just a dining partner relationship. If something comes up temporarily, it's over.

So, Li Qingrong's companions for going home and dining buddies are still Cai Xiang and Nie Qiqi.

The class monitor was packing things up, glanced at him when she heard him, and nodded.

"Mm."

Returning to his seat, Zhang Ningzhi gave him a glance.

"Want to have lunch together this afternoon?"

Jiang Nian remembered he had promised Zhang Ningzhi to have a meal before, so he didn't hesitate.

"Sure, I'll treat you guys."

The advantage of not having a fixed dining buddy is apparent. No need to coordinate back and forth, just say the word.

Zhizhi is easy to understand, wanting to have a meal with him. Jiang Nian agreed straightforwardly, so there's no problem.

As for the class monitor, she's not an issue either.

She's even easier to understand, having no particular feeling about having meals together. If needed, she'll join, or eat with Cai Xiaoqing and others.

The class monitor's needs don't lie here.

So, Jiang Nian agreed with no pressure at all. At noon, the time is completely his own.

A direct win-win-win situation.

After leaving the school, Jiang Nian found a bicycle and pedaled away. Grumbling to himself, having an electric bike would be much more convenient.

That old e-bike at home, his mom rides it to work every day.

With only a few months left before the college entrance examination, buying a vehicle wouldn't be cost-effective. A clunker loses value by several hundred a year, not a worthwhile investment.

He pondered while riding, planning to get a second-hand e-bike as an everyday ride, leaving it to charge at the teacher's apartment when not in use.

He'd give a key to Chen Yunyun and others, so friends could borrow it when needed.

Being a good leader requires some perks to gather allies.

By charm?

He pressed, at most a small A.

High school is like this, even small favors can win over a group of people easily. Everyone's like that, simple and genuine.

After moving to the new class, Jiang Nian was consciously building rapport.

The third class might be a bit abstract, but everyone's grades aren't bad. Excluding the elite class, they belong to Zhenan Middle School's top science students.

Revolutionary friendships are for the long haul, we're all from the same county. Who knows when you might need someone, it'd be awkward to suddenly rekindle then.

Eating the bread is one thing; career is career.

He understands the distinction.

Rich patrons aside, his network is his own. Relying on others doesn't hinder his competence. Time will tell.

Thinking this way, Jiang Nian executed a stylish sudden brake, flipping over into a ditch with bike and all.

"Damn it!! Crap!"

Jiang Nian cursed as he climbed up, suddenly feeling a sense of déjà vu—he also tumbled into a ditch when the system assigned a gym task.

Chi Shi! This lousy road!

He patted off the dust, turned, and took a photo with his phone. He wanted to post it on social media, but lowered the phone just after raising it.

Too impulsive.

Jiang Nian thought about it and sent the photo to Chen Yunyun alone.

"Accidentally fell into a ditch."

After sending the photo, he lifted the bike with one hand and climbed out of the hole. Before he even got all the way up, Chen Mama's call came in.

"Hello?"

"Where are you?" Chen Yunyun's voice seemed a bit tense, "How are you now, was it serious?"

"Hiss~ Hiss~ My hand seems to be numb." Jiang Nian hoisted the bike out, beginning to ride single-handedly.

"What?" Chen Yunyun was confused, stammering, "Then you... then you should go to the hospital and send me your location."

"No, I'm fine." Jiang Nian laughed, "Listen, I'm still riding now. If I were really hurt, could I ride and talk on the phone at the same time?"

Chen Yunyun: "....."

Even someone as mild-tempered as Chen Mama couldn't help but get angry.

"Why did you lie to me!"

"Just joking, are you mad?" Jiang Nian cheekily said, "Alright, I did fall though."

"A bit painful, but no real injury. Thought about posting on the circle but felt it was too showy, so I chose to tell you specially."

Chen Yunyun was annoyed enough to want to hang up, but ultimately worried about him.

"You're already hurt, where are you going?"

"Oh, having a meal with someone older." This time Jiang Nian was honest, completely at ease, speaking very casually.

"Okay, be careful on the way." Chen Yunyun advised, "Don't call while riding, be careful of falling."

After hanging up, Jiang Nian pedaled with extra vigor.

"Damn it."

"I'm worth forty grand, what's this rickety public bike!"

It's low-class.

He braked in front of the store, greeted by the mocking eyes of the door service attendant, as if watching a comedy.

Jiang Nian was indeed quite disheveled at the moment, but didn't care.

Though the place may be shabby, virtue can shine.

He rolled up his sleeves and walked straight in, ignoring the service attendant entirely, as he turned and found Zhao Qiuxue.

"Sister Zhao."

"Jiang....." Zhao Qiuxue stood up, suddenly stunned, "Ah, what happened to you?"

"Got into a fight with a service attendant on the way, won, and they compensated me two hundred."

Zhao Qiuxue was dumbfounded, "What?"
