Chapter 238: Chapter 238: Something’s Wrong, Very Wrong

Nan Zhi arrived at school just in the nick of time.

And the reason for that was Nan Yi.

Yesterday, after learning her cooking class had been replaced, she thought it over carefully and decided to tell Nan Yi.

She had already told him what she was preparing for the lesson and had even promised to let him be her little assistant.

Nan Yi had been incredibly excited about it, asking Nan Zhi no fewer than twenty questions.

His goal was to be a more qualified assistant.

So, now that the cooking class was off, she had to let him know.

Just as she’d expected, Nan Yi was unhappy when he heard the news.

Although he acted nonchalant in front of Nan Zhi and even comforted his mom, saying it was okay...

...in reality, he was bottling up his anger. He even tossed and turned all night thinking about it.

The end result was that he went to bed too late and woke up late as well.

Nan Zhi hurriedly led Nan Yi through the school gate, not forgetting to straighten his shirt collar.

The old security guard suddenly waved at Nan Zhi from the guardhouse.

Nan Zhi left Nan Yi where he was and walked over.

"What’s wrong?"

The security guard lowered his voice.

"I heard about the cooking class. Just now, a truck delivered a bunch of kitchen equipment. Xiao Nan, do you need us to..."

The guard raised his hand and made a sharp cutting gesture across his neck.

Nan Zhi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

"You can’t say things like that!"

The guard chuckled and put his hands behind his back.

"Just kidding, just kidding. But they started it, didn’t they?"

How could Nan Zhi not hear the seriousness in the old man’s tone?

She quickly tried to talk the stubborn old guard down, and just as she was about to succeed—

"I think Grandpa’s right."

Nan Yi’s little head suddenly popped up in the guardhouse window.

Nan Zhi’s eyes widened slightly.

"When did you run in there?"

Nan Yi pressed his lips together unhappily.

The security guard praised him.

"To know how to help your mom at such a young age, you’re a good, filial son!"

Only then did the stern look on Nan Yi’s little face show signs of melting.

How could Nan Zhi dare let those two continue their discussion? She quickly called Nan Yi out of the guardhouse.

"Class is about to start. Hurry up and go."

Nan Yi was reluctant, but he still obeyed his mother’s command and trudged into the classroom with his little backpack.

As for this scene, because there were no cameras in the guardhouse, and the cameraman following Nan Zhi had guessed the content of their conversation and deliberately kept his distance, plus Nan Zhi had turned off her microphone in time...

...the livestream audience didn’t hear any of it. They were just curious about what Nan Zhi and the old guard were talking about, and praised Nan Yi for being such a good boy for going to class obediently.

Nan Zhi entered the school building. The moment she stepped into the office, Qi Pei’er pulled her aside.

"I heard everything... Mmph!"

Nan Zhi shot her a look before removing the hand that was covering Qi Pei’er’s mouth.

Qi Pei’er was indignant but still did as she was told, mouthing to Nan Zhi:

’I’m so pissed!’

Nan Zhi patted her shoulder, amused.

"It’s a small thing. Don’t worry."

Qi Pei’er’s face was scrunched up in frustration.

This time, neither Nan Zhi nor Qi Pei’er had turned off their mics, so the audience heard them clearly and was puzzled.

[What kind of coded conversation are you two having?]

[See! I told you something fishy was going on, and you didn’t believe me!]

[Yeah, I also get the feeling something happened.]

[Is there something we, the distinguished VIPs, aren’t allowed to hear? I’d even buy it if you made it paid bonus content!]

[I just popped over to that Miss Chang’s livestream. I got the feeling she’s especially excited today. Could it be...]

[Ahem, girl, let’s not spread rumors!]

...

Amidst the audience’s rampant speculation, time flew by.

Soon, it was time for the regularly scheduled cooking class in the fourth period.

Nan Zhi didn’t have a class during the third period, so she sat in the office, leisurely flipping through a book.

The audience, watching her relaxed back, was more anxious than she was.

[Isn’t Sister Zhi going to the cafeteria to prep? The fourth period is the cooking class!]

[For a master like Nan Zhi, teaching a cooking class is probably a piece of cake. She doesn’t need to prepare!]

[I have absolute faith in Sister Zhi! Already got my notebook out, ready for class!]

[Wait, am I the only one who thinks the vibe is really off?]

[I think so too. Besides Nan Zhi, Qi Pei’er, Fu Chao, and Xie Yu all seem a bit distracted.]

[What are you talking about? I think the kids are having a great time.]

[Are you sure you’d call Nan Yi’s expression ’happy’?]

[Something’s wrong, really wrong. I just came from Miss Chang’s stream. She said she was going to pick up a special guest who’s a chef...]

[No way, no way, please don’t tell me I’m overthinking this. Why would that Miss Chang specially invite a chef over? It’s not like he’s here to cook just for her, right?]

[Don’t say such unlucky things, I’m scared...]

...

The audience finally began to feel a sense of unease.

When the fourth-period cooking class began, Nan Zhi arrived at the cafeteria unhurriedly, just as all the cameras focused on the man who had taken her place...

The bullet comments instantly exploded!

[Are they crazy? The production team actually replaced the teacher?]

[What kind of crap idea did this trash production team come up with, your whole family @#￥%... This user has been muted for their comment.]

[Now I finally see what it means to discard someone after they’ve served their purpose! The planners on this production team are a pile of shit!]

[Everyone, calm down. If the production team did this, it must mean Nan Zhi agreed to it.]

[Are you sure? Forget Nan Zhi, can’t you tell the truth from Qi Pei’er and the others’ attitudes?]

[The production team is really asking for it. This was a perfectly good variety show livestream, and you’re feeding us shit? Who wants to watch a stranger teach a cooking class!]

[Miss Chang showed up too, hehe, I knew she had something to do with it! This production team is such a dog, are they really sucking up to the rich girl to this extent?]

[Sob sob sob, I want to cry. Seeing Nan Zhi standing dejectedly in the corner reminds me of how I felt when my team lead kicked me off the project, even though I was the one who worked the hardest...]

...

The "dejected" Nan Zhi standing in the corner: ’Hmm, my mouth feels a little idle. I could go for some sunflower seeds.’

At that moment, many of the students around Nan Zhi were turning their heads to look at her, their eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Finally, one child couldn’t help but ask:

"Teacher Nan, why aren’t you going up there?"

Nan Zhi smiled and shook her head.

"There’s a new teacher, so I won’t be going up today."

Her voice was very soft.

However, the news spread like wildfire among the children, and they quickly grew restless.

Children are more direct and don’t have as many inhibitions.

"Why isn’t Teacher Nan teaching? I like Teacher Nan’s class!"

"Yeah! We don’t need a new teacher!"

"Teacher Nan, you should go up there!"

"Teacher Nan!"

"..."

The commotion among the students attracted the attention of the man standing not far away.

The man was wearing a black chef’s uniform and was reasonably handsome and well-featured.

He wasn’t particularly tall, but he always looked down on people with a condescending air, his chin tilted up in a clear display of arrogance.

"Little friends, your Teacher Nan is very good, but I’m a real professional Michelin chef, you know!"
