Chapter 643: Achilles' Heel
Chapter 643: Achilles' Heel
Jiang Xia?
A student and a teacher at the same time?
A female classmate looked at Jiang Xia in shock. "So it's her! I heard about her from a friend at Jing University! No wonder her name sounded familiar, but I couldn't place it! Her foreign language skills are incredible! She's proficient in five or six languages!"
"I remember now, the youngest, most beautiful, and most capable foreign language teacher at Q University! She holds two positions, both as a teacher and a student! Many foreign language students from Jing University also attend her classes at Q University. I heard it's because she's also a fashion design student and doesn't have much time to teach both schools, so the deans of both universities agreed to let the foreign language students from Jing University attend her classes at Q University."
"That's right. They say her lectures in the auditorium don't feel like regular classes, but more like expert seminars."
Wenwan had no idea Jiang Xia was also a teacher!
Jiang Xia, a freshman, no matter how good her foreign languages were, how could she become a teacher?
Do universities not require qualifications anymore?
Could she also be a student and a teacher at the same time? She had passed the Cet-4 in her previous life!
"I heard many people fight to get into her classes."
"That's true. I heard if you don't go early, there won't be any seats left."
Wenwan blurted out, "Is it because there are so many guys in her class that there are no seats?"
Wenwan couldn't deny that Jiang Xia was beautiful, with a fox-like charm.
She was already married and had three children, yet she still dressed like a peacock every day.
What was she trying to do? Wasn't it just to attract men?
Just like some women she had seen in her previous life, using their beauty and charm to flirt with male colleagues and superiors to gain advantages in their careers.
Look at the foreign merchants surrounding her just now, almost all of them were men.
The female classmate glanced at Wenwan, finding her words a bit malicious and her thoughts twisted. "There are plenty of girls too! I heard her classes are excellent. During her lectures, the classroom is so quiet you can hear a pin drop, and everyone listens attentively, taking copious notes. They don't even notice when someone passes by outside."
Wenwan pursed her lips, not wanting to say more about Jiang Xia. "Let's go! We need to check the entrance. The factory manager is not happy. We haven't secured a single order this morning."
One of the male classmates said, "Since the factory manager is upset, I can work on commission only, without a salary."
Another female classmate widened her eyes. "Me too!"
Others thought about it and agreed. "I think working on commission is better!"
Everyone looked at Wenwan. "Wenwan, let's go tell the factory manager that we'll work on commission only, without a salary!"
Wenwan was flabbergasted and quickly said, "But we already agreed to a daily wage of 10 yuan with the garment factory. If we change our minds now, the factory manager won't agree."
The male classmate who suggested it said, "We can work on commission only, without a salary. This way, if we don't secure any orders, the factory won't have to pay us, and they won't lose anything. I think the factory manager has no reason to refuse."
Another male classmate, also feeling the pressure from Jiang Xia, said, "There are so many foreign merchants at the Guangzhou Trade Fair. I think the commission we earn from securing an order will be higher than our salary."
Wenwan tried to reason with them. "Working on commission only means you only get paid if you secure an order. It's not that easy to secure orders. I haven't secured one all morning. Not everyone is as skilled as Jiang Xia. She has a steady client base, and many of those foreign merchants are regular customers who purchase from her every year. We don't know any foreign merchants, so it's very difficult to secure orders!"
She didn't want them to learn from Jiang Xia's sales techniques and cause her more trouble!
Jiang Xia was truly her Achilles' heel!
If everyone worked on commission, what would she earn?
The male student shook his head. "I still think we can earn more with commissions. The Guangzhou Trade Fair attracts so many foreign merchants every day. If we can secure just one deal in twenty days, we could earn more than the ten yuan a day salary!"
"I agree! Wenwan, let's go talk to the Factory Manager!"
"Let's go! Let's talk to the Factory Manager!"
Everyone surrounded Wenwan and led her to find the Factory Manager.
Wenwan: "..." No.
This is really going to be a disaster!
What if they find out I was already on commission?
Wenwan felt a bit anxious as she was pulled by a few classmates to the garment section of the booth. Fortunately, there were foreign merchants there, and she quickly came up with a plan. "Let's wait until the Factory Manager goes for lunch to talk to him. He's busy with the foreign merchants now, so let's not disturb him."
These were university students, future builders of socialism, with high levels of awareness. They understood the importance of the Guangzhou Trade Fair and were determined not to be a hindrance to the country's foreign exchange earnings. They all agreed.
One of the male students said, "Let's help with translation and product introductions first!"
"Good idea!" the other students chimed in.
The male student continued, "We should take this opportunity to learn more about the clothes. Even if we can't memorize every product like Jiang Xia, at least we shouldn't be clueless when asked. Earning money is secondary; remember, we're here to help the country earn foreign exchange. That's the most important thing!"
"Right!"
Now, Jiang Xia was the role model for these students!
Wenwan heaved a huge sigh of relief.
It looks like I'll have to give them a bit of commission, maybe a penny per outfit?
Really! I shouldn't have let them learn from Jiang Xia. What are they learning?

Jiang Xia returned to the rest area, where Zhao Cheng Lei was already there, and the three children were being fed.
Zhao Cheng Lei looked at her, a tired expression on his face. "You don't need to feed them. They're almost full with the bottles. Rest a bit."
The milk in the bottles was prepared by Jiang Xia in advance and stored in the fridge. She took them out, warmed them in hot water, and then gave them to the children.
Since the children were already eating, Jiang Xia decided not to feed them herself. She smiled, "How have the children been today?"
The younger brother, cradled by his aunt, turned his eyes at the sound of his mother's voice, spat out his pacifier with a "pfft", and started babbling in baby talk at Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia was amused by her youngest son's antics, and all her fatigue vanished.
The elder brother and the little sister, who were almost asleep, opened their eyes at the sound of their mother's voice and looked toward the source of the sound.
Jiang Xia gently touched their bald little heads. "Go to sleep."
The two children, feeling drowsy, closed their eyes again.
The aunt put the pacifier back in the younger brother's mouth, but he spat it out again and turned his head away, making "pfft, pfft, pfft" sounds.
The aunt laughed. "This child is so smart, he knows it's his turn to eat."
"I'll take him", Jiang Xia said, smiling as she took the younger brother and fed him with the bottle.
In his mother's arms, the younger brother obediently continued drinking his milk.
Zhao Cheng Lei said to Jiang Xia, "Don't go back to the booth later. Rest here for a while."
Jiang Xia replied, "I won't go back to the booth. I'll go back to the residence. I'll return in the afternoon."
She needed to prepare some food for the children, as she wouldn't have time to take care of them tonight.
Zhao Cheng Lei felt relieved and decided to stay at the booth.
In the afternoon, Jiang Xia spent half the day at the plastic factory. She returned to the residence at 5:30 PM, had dinner, fed the children, and then headed to the exhibition hall by 6:30 PM.
The fashion show was scheduled to start at 7:00 PM.
