Qin Ran was very frustrated now, with veins bulging on her temples. If it weren't for the need to maintain a good image in front of the school leaders, she would have cursed out loud.
It's only been two days since school started and this kid has caused such big trouble.
The first time was okay, at most an internal conflict within the office. But today's incident, once it gets reported widely, will not only affect Chu Yi but also bring negative impact on the reputation of the school.
"We absolutely cannot accept such a teacher in our Third Middle School!" A school leader spoke righteously and indignantly.
"This is just an intern teacher causing such trouble. Who knows what he'll do when he becomes a formal teacher? Principal, we need to handle this quickly and give society and students an explanation."
Qin Ran rubbed her forehead. Although she intended to drive Chu Yi out of the school, damaging his reputation wasn't how she wanted to do it.
"No need to say more. Let's investigate this matter thoroughly first and I will take measures...I'll keep reporters under control for now."
Qin Ran made up her mind decisively.
Meanwhile, inside the Chinese Language Department office building, everyone stood by the window looking towards the gate of their school.
"I believe that Teacher Chu wouldn't do something like that. Moreover Wang Ling is a student with good moral character; this must be slander." Tan Yu shook her head. Although Chu Yi came from humble origins but after getting along with him for some time there was no doubt about his character especially compared to Chen Junyu who lacked courage when they were blocked by others at KTV last time.
"Teacher Tan you're too naive sometimes," Chen Junyu said calmly while holding a cup of tea as if he had deep thoughts on his mind while constantly glancing at Tan Yu from corner of his eyes. Not only was his family background good, but he was also handsome and much better than Zhou Ru who had thrown herself at him.
"Of course, you're still young and can't see through some people's facade." Dong Guohao quickly agreed with Chen Junyu. He had offended Chen Junyu yesterday so he tried to flatter him now.
Tan Yu looked displeased and lost her previous enthusiasm towards Chen Junyu. She said coldly, "Chen Teacher, I don't know if the water you drank yesterday tasted the same as the one in your hand."
After speaking she raised her neck like a beautiful swan leaving gracefully.
"This woman!" Chen Junyu's face turned pale with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes. "You'll beg me for mercy on my bed sooner or later."
"And Chu Yi, after this incident I wonder how you will be able to stay in school with any dignity left," he added.
...
The situation outside the school gate became more chaotic; if it wasn't resolved soon reporters would come soon.
"What kind of scum is this? How can such a person become a teacher?" Some parents who were dropping off their children saw what happened and couldn't help feeling disgusted even though it wasn't their child's teacher.
"I feel sorry for Wang Ling; such a beauty ended up being taken advantage of by this beast." Several male students felt indignant about it too.
Chu Yi frowned and took out a pen from his bag then walked over to the banner hanging across the street. After examining it carefully he crossed out 'tear' and wrote 'hangout' next to it instead.
"You guys are so uneducated! It should be hangout not tear...if there's anything else just say it now because I've already covered your Chinese teachers' coffins," Chu Yi said bluntly while pointing at the banner.
Yellow-haired kid: "..."
Qiang Ge: "..."
"Teacher Chu, that's not the issue now. You still need to explain why you were with a female student in such a place."
"What you're doing is illegal!"
Zhou Ru spoke out forcefully; she had been at odds with Chu Yi before and now she was taking advantage of Chen Junyu's support to kick him while he was down.
As long as this matter is resolved smoothly, Chen Junyu promised to be with her.
"Teacher Zhou, what does this have to do with you? You better mind your own business," Chu Yi hinted at something.
Zhou Ru was left speechless by the remark.
In the end, it was the school security who forcefully suppressed the situation and dispersed everyone.
...
In class, Chu Yi was lecturing while whispering under his breath.
"What happened yesterday when you went to Charm Bar?" Gu Feifei asked in a low voice. She had purposely shortened her skirt today, revealing a pair of slender and delicate legs that caught the attention of many male students in class.
"I was bored and went clubbing. I didn't expect to run into Teacher Chu there. She scolded me and sent me back," Wang Ling stuck out her tongue playfully. Naturally, she wouldn't reveal what really happened yesterday - partly because of Chu Yi's request and partly because of her high self-esteem; she didn't want these classmates to know about her family background.
"That's it?" Gu Feifei felt disappointed; she thought there would be some exciting news. "But I never expected that Teacher Chu would go clubbing too despite being an educator - truly hypocritical."
The classroom buzzed with whispers; given Chu Yi's strength, he could hear everything clearly. His eyebrows twitched uncontrollably before throwing down his chalk: "Since everyone is so interested in this matter, then write an essay on 'The Phenomenon of Rumors in Today's Society' for tomorrow's submission or else I'll call each one of your parents."
"Ahh..." The classroom groaned collectively but after yesterday's incident most students had already accepted him somewhat subconsciously
On his way to the principal's office later on ,Chu Yi ignored all stares from teachers and students alike . After all ,he has lived for thousands of years and his mentality was naturally good - it's just that he had thick skin.
He told Qin Ran in no uncertain terms that he would resolve the matter himself tomorrow, then left with a pat on his butt.
This attitude made Qin Ran so angry she almost wanted to smash something.
...
After leaving school, Chu Yi went straight to the city center.
Fan Hong opened a real estate company here. In recent years, the price of real estate in China has been soaring, and Fan Hong has made a fortune by directly washing his money through this business.
The storefront of the company is extremely luxurious. When he entered and arrived at the front desk, a polite young girl asked him: "May I ask who you are looking for?"
"I'm looking for Fan Hong," Chu Yi said directly.
The young girl looked up and down at Chu Yi with some surprise. After all, he didn't look like someone of high status but dared to call out Boss Hong's name so boldly.
She didn't dare to neglect him and quickly made a phone call. A moment later, she saw Wolf Brother personally coming down to greet them.
"Teacher Chu, sorry for making you come all this way. The boss is currently meeting with someone else so I came down instead," Wolf Brother apologized repeatedly.
Chu Yi didn't mind too much as he had little relationship with these people anyway. He simply let Wolf Brother take him upstairs.
In an antique office sat two people - one was Boss Hong while the other was probably the guest that Wolf Brother mentioned earlier.
"Teacher Chu, welcome! Please sit down quickly. We wouldn't have met if it weren't for our last encounter," Fan Hong greeted him warmly without any hint of being a gang leader but still as steady as Mount Tai.
"No need to be polite; I don't know why Boss Hong called me over today?" Chu Yi took his seat straightforwardly without any hesitation or restraint whatsoever.
But before Fan Hong could speak up, the thin middle-aged man across from them frowned: "Fan Hong! Is this kid whom you invited to compete against me? He can't even beat your subordinates; aren't you insulting me?"
Chu Yi turned his head to look and was surprised because he found that the other party was not an ordinary person. He had internal energy, but it was weak and had just entered the martial artist stage.
"Boss Hong, what's going on?" Chu Yi asked.
After apologizing on both sides, Fan Hong explained: "It's like this - we are competing with Xinde Group for a piece of land. We couldn't come to an agreement so we decided to settle it through force."
"We each sent one person; whoever wins gets the land. But I heard they invited a master over there, so..."
"So you also invited two people here. However, just to be safe, you decided to have us compete first," Chu Yi continued.
"You're smart as always," Fan Hong looked at him and remembered that palm strike from before with some regret in his heart. "I had no choice; that piece of land is too important and affects our development for the next ten years. I have to be cautious."
"And Mr. Wei Fu here is also quite skilled."
"Teacher Chu and Mr.Wei can spar first; regardless of who wins or loses today, I will pay each of you one million yuan."
