Chapter 86 The First Glimpse of Talent (2)

Ji Xiaonuan was speechless for a moment.

She didn't expect that even when she was just sitting there quietly, Yang Wanrong wouldn't let her off.

"Brother Muchen likes Xiaoxi so much. Presumably Xiaoxi is smart, clever and has a gentle and virtuous heart. Such a small problem must be a piece of cake for her, right?" Yang Wanrong said in a sarcastic tone.

Chi Jun'an raised his eyebrows unhappily. But before he could speak, he heard Ji Xiaonuan say indifferently, "I do happen to have a way to solve this matter."

Yang Wanrong was stunned.

She had wanted Ji Xiaonuan to make a fool of herself, but Ji Xiaonuan actually had a solution? What good solution could Ji Xiaonuan have?

I'm afraid that no matter what Ji Xiaonuan said, Chi Jun'an would praise her, and Professor Wang would definitely let the matter go.

No, she couldn't just wait like this.

Yang Wanrong hurriedly rushed to say, "Xiaoxi, don't tell me your solution is to lower the price of the printed version or raise the price of the electronic version? That won't work. If the price is changed halfway like this, what about those who have already bought it? They will definitely not be satisfied!"

"Don't worry. I can't come up with such a thoughtless solution." Ji Xiaonuan said calmly.

Yang Wanrong's expression froze. She glared at Ji Xiaonuan angrily, but there was nothing she could do. Could Ji Xiaonuan really have a solution?

"What's the solution?" Chi Jun'an asked with a faint smile, calmly bringing the conversation back on track.

Ji Xiaonuan said calmly, "Actually, it's very simple. The prices of the electronic version and the printed version remain unchanged, and they are still sold separately. But we can also launch a combined package of the electronic version and the printed version..."

"Hehe, I thought it was some great idea!" Yang Wanrong sneered. "As long as people buy the electronic version, that's enough. Why would they spend an extra sum of money on a combined package?"

"Can you stop interrupting me?" Ji Xiaonuan looked at her indifferently. "Or do you want to speak first? After you finish, I'll talk?"

Yang Wanrong was so angry that her face turned pale. But this time, she really had lost her composure. She was too eager to make Ji Xiaonuan look bad. She let out a cold snort and didn't say anything more.

"Xiaoxi, go on." Professor Wang said with a smile. He also sensed the strange atmosphere, but he didn't have high hopes for Ji Xiaonuan.

"Professor Wang, there's no cost for the electronic version, right?" Ji Xiaonuan asked calmly.

"Yeah." Professor Wang nodded. The electronic version was just a scanned copy of the printed version, and there was indeed no cost price. They could make a profit no matter how much they sold it for.

"Since our goal is to sell the printed version, then we can price this package at 88 yuan." Ji Xiaonuan said calmly.

Yang Wanrong sneered in her heart. Was this Ji Xiaonuan's idea? She had really overestimated her! Without waiting for Ji Xiaonuan to finish speaking, Yang Wanrong couldn't help but say, "Xiaoxi, is this what you call a solution? The printed version is 88 yuan, and your combined package is also 88 yuan. Are you trying to make those who bought the electronic version feel that the electronic version is worthless and they bought it at a loss?"

"Yes." Ji Xiaonuan said calmly.

"You..." Yang Wanrong was about to say something when she suddenly looked at Chi Jun'an and Professor Wang in disbelief.

Both of them were looking at Ji Xiaonuan with a strange look in their eyes, as if they had just discovered a completely uncut jade.

How could this be? Yang Wanrong was stunned.

She suddenly realized what she had just said. Yang Wanrong's face turned pale instantly. How could she have been so stupid...

But Professor Wang was already looking at Yang Wanrong with the look of a disappointed parent. Yang Wanrong wanted to explain, but there was no way to do so.

"Wanrong, Xiaoxi's solution is really good." Professor Wang explained with a hint of dissatisfaction. "Students choose the electronic version just because they think it's more cost-effective. Now, if they feel that they bought the electronic version at a loss, of course they will choose the most cost-effective combined version."

Yang Wanrong's face turned red. How could she not have thought of these things? It's just that before, her mind was completely focused on finding fault with Ji Xiaonuan.

"Xiaoxi, you're a genius." Chi Jun'an praised in a low voice. There was a full sense of pride and sincere praise in his voice.

"Come on, you're exaggerating too much." Being praised like this, Ji Xiaonuan felt a little embarrassed, and her cheeks couldn't help but turn red.

"No, no, what Muchen said is not an exaggeration," Professor Wang said with a smile. "Xiaoxi, you've really helped me solve a big problem. I couldn't figure out how to deal with those printed school magazines, but you solved it so easily..."

"It's not that great..." Ji Xiaonuan became even more embarrassed. "I just thought about it casually."

"That's why I said you're a genius." Chi Jun'an smiled faintly.

Yang Wanrong was so angry that her eyes were red. She didn't want to see Ji Xiaonuan stealing the show like this at all!

How could such an idea have come from Ji Xiaonuan? She was clearly a little girl who knew nothing! How could Ji Xiaonuan be better than her? It's impossible!

What made her most unbearable was the admiring and affectionate look in Chi Jun'an's eyes when he looked at Ji Xiaonuan!

"Brother Muchen really dotes on Xiaoxi," Yang Wanrong said with a sarcastic smile. "You two were whispering just now. Presumably this solution was taught to you by Brother Muchen, right?"

"Wanrong, how could you say such a thing? You really disappoint me!" Professor Wang frowned and looked at her. He had always liked this student, Yang Wanrong, but today she was really acting out of character.

"I..." Yang Wanrong was a little stunned.

"Just now, Muchen was just explaining our school's school magazine to Xiaoxi and didn't help her come up with the idea," Professor Wang couldn't help but scold. "Xiaoxi is really quick-witted. It's nothing that you didn't come up with a solution. Didn't Muchen and I fail to think of one either? You've always been magnanimous, so why are you being so stubborn today?"

Yang Wanrong's face turned red and then pale. She couldn't help but curse Professor Wang hundreds of times in her heart!

If it wasn't for Chi Jun'an's special respect for him, why would she have been trying so hard to please this old man? In the past, it was okay, but now he actually dared to scold her in front of Chi Jun'an and didn't give her any face at all!

But with Chi Jun'an here, Yang Wanrong could only swallow her anger reluctantly and said reluctantly, "Professor, I was wrong. Please calm down..."

Ji Xiaonuan watched Yang Wanrong's performance intently. Although Yang Wanrong tried her best to hide it, Ji Xiaonuan still noticed her constantly changing expressions.

Although she wasn't as extraordinary as Chi Jun'an, she could at least tell that Yang Wanrong's mood must have been going up and down like a roller coaster.

She suddenly found that secretly observing others like Chi Jun'an was quite interesting.

"Xiaoxi, I really want to thank you this time." Professor Wang said gratefully again. "You must come to my celebration party!"

Ji Xiaonuan smiled happily. Before, Professor Wang had invited her only because of Chi Jun'an.

But now, his invitation was just for her.
