Chapter 1427: Chapter 1429: Slap in the Face Again

The classroom suddenly burst into laughter and gasps.

"Cool!"

Chiang Xiao also smiled.

Had Jin Lei said this phrase before?

However, she couldn’t remember clearly what followed, as she was sitting here, thinking about how to save money to buy some nutritional supplements for her aunt.

So, at that time, she was somewhat distracted.

Jin Lei continued: "What does it mean when I cross out these prices listed by Ye Wanqing? It’s quite simple. These prices provided by Ye Wanqing were obviously seen at the Xinhua Bookstore, right?"

Ye Wanqing, sitting in her seat, nodded her head.

Indeed, she had prepared, so she went to Xinhua Bookstore and copied down some prices of the items they needed.

What’s wrong with that?

Jin Lei smiled and said, "Sorry, the following words are just to clarify the situation, not to show off. Please be informed, everyone."

He paused and said, "My father, the Dean of the Capital Art Academy, has already agreed that our class can purchase art supplies together with the academy. They buy directly from factories and almost at the factory price, so it would be at least 40% cheaper than the prices Wanqing copied from Xinhua Bookstore."

"Wow! Impressive!"

"This is really cool."

The whole class instantly erupted into commotion again.

Chiang Xiao didn’t expect Jin Lei to have such a move and suddenly felt amused. She didn’t expect Jin Lei to be such a clever person.

Looking again at Ye Wanqing, her expression seemed a bit pitiful.

But at that moment, all attention was on Jin Lei; no one noticed her.

Jin Lei continued: "Another thing, I actually do not support the idea of Ye Wanqing donating 400 yuan personally to the class fund. It’s better if we collect the class fee uniformly. Otherwise, many of our classmates come from well-off families, like me."

This statement made Chiang Xiao laugh again.

This truly struck at Ye Wanqing’s pride once more.

Being poor isn’t a sin, but it’s annoying when you look down on yourself and yet constantly pretend to be rich.

Jin Lei spread his hands and said: "My family is well-off, so, seeing Wanqing donating 400, what do you think, should I give 20 or also donate 400?"

Other students also started laughing.

Someone nodded, agreeing with Jin Lei’s opinion.

"Exactly, everyone should pay what they should; this way, there will be no psychological burden for others."

Jin Lei added: "Furthermore, in our class, when the time comes there will be a lot of heavy tasks, like moving easels, finding frames, moving plaster, and so on. Without saying more, we boys shouldn’t let the girls do these tasks, right?"

"Right, right."

"So, I should be the class president, right? I assure you I will lead by example! Ye Wanqing seems not physically well, she just mentioned about not being able to vault the horse, so it’s better not to overexert herself."

Ye Wanqing bit her lower lip.

Why did she feel that Jin Lei was specifically against her?

What does he mean by saying she couldn’t vault the horse?

She intended to use this to elicit sympathy from her classmates, but now, thanks to Jin Lei’s words, she felt like she was portrayed as disabled!

"Hmm, I’m voting for Jin Lei," Chiang Xiao lazily raised her hand.
