Chapter 38 One Piece

The words "good-for-nothing" were silent, yet deafening.

Zheng Qi heard them especially clearly.

Chen Yuan had said it just like that.

Right in his face, point-blank.

He should have been angry, and he was indeed angry, but at that moment he could do nothing.

His old man's only requirement for him was to graduate.

Now, fighting against He Hongtao would only result in a major demerit and expulsion on his record, and no other school would accept him.

Chen Yuan's relationship with He Hongtao must be extraordinary.

How could He Hongtao remember every top student among the school's top hundred? His connections were definitely stronger than his!

Otherwise, how could he have so accurately orchestrated that accident just now?

That He Hongtao was someone he had brought out!

You motherfucker, piece of garbage, I will never let you go…

Clenching his fists and gritting his teeth, Zheng Qi could only watch Chen Yuan and Zhou Fu get into He Hongtao's car and gradually drive away.

And that face that looked down on him from the bottom of his heart, those eyes that had never looked at him directly, and the mockery of the words "good-for-nothing," echoed in his mind again and again.

His sense of superiority, like looking at livestock, was heartfelt and spontaneous.

Annoyed, Zheng Qi kicked the streetlight at the school gate, then hissed out angry breaths, and finally took out his phone and dialed a number.

As he spoke, the tone in his voice gradually improved: "Big Brother."

…………

"Don't worry, Zheng Qi is definitely done for. If he dares to come after you in private, I'll make sure no high school in Xia Hai takes him, including private ones."

"Unless, he moves to another city."

He Hongtao was quite calm while driving. He said these words to comfort Chen Yuan without much fluctuation in his tone. Because he wasn't warning, let alone boasting, but simply stating a fact.

To enroll in China, you must look at the records. Generally speaking, these things follow you for life, so unless there are special circumstances, even if a student makes a mistake, it will be kept in the record, because there is no need to ruin a child's future if the crime doesn't warrant death.

Of course, not everyone will be lenient.

If Zheng Qi was just like this, He Hongtao could let him go. But if he came after Chen Yuan again in private, He Hongtao could list ten major crimes in his record with just a word.

Doing so would be equivalent to directly sending a thug into society.

Zheng Qi would bid farewell to his campus life in advance.

And tomorrow, he and Zheng Qi's parents would be talking about this matter.

For the sake of Lao Han, I can arrange for Zheng Qi to be persuaded to withdraw.

But if,

If your son pulls any more tricks in private, giving me some surprises, Lao Han won't have any face left either.

"Thank you, Principal He." Chen Yuan expressed his understanding, and then somewhat embarrassedly promised, "Today, I saw him bullying a junior in the toilet, so I couldn't help but report it. In the future, I will try to avoid getting involved with this kind of thing…"

"It's a good thing to have a sense of justice."

He Hongtao knew what kind of person Chen Yuan was. Didn't he pick him up from the police station for his enthusiastic act of righteousness the first time? Therefore, he didn't intend to suppress his enthusiasm. On the contrary, he encouraged him: "The school spirit of Eleventh High is still a bit lacking, and there is a gap between it and real prestigious schools. In the future, if you encounter any problems, no matter who the other party is, report it to me on WeChat."

These words were too unconventional.

In Chinese-style campuses, these things are often smoothed over.

If it were Lao Han, or a normal leader, after comforting Chen Yuan at this time, they would each take fifty strokes and add a sentence: Why did you provoke him? Can you be the same as him? He will be a pest to society in the future.

See, he knows he's a pest, but he still allows the pest to eat the crops.

But this time, it did touch He Hongtao's reverse scale - a hooligan overestimating himself and provoking a top student.

"Okay, good." Chen Yuan nodded again, indicating that he had taken his words to heart.

Although the two didn't say it explicitly.

But both were very clear.

If Zheng Qi provokes me (you) again, Lao He (I) can handle it.

This conversation between the two made Zhou Fu feel a bit unreal.

Because these two seemed too familiar with each other.

Facing such a big figure like the principal, Chen Yuan didn't even have any sense of restraint.

So everything that happened just now was within Chen Yuan's expectations?

No wonder he said he could handle it…

I was overthinking it.

Moreover, Chen Yuan really took his words to heart, and the way he handled things was so 'peaceful'.

"This female student, what's your name?" He Hongtao asked.

"Principal He, my name is Zhou Fu, and I just transferred to Eleventh High." Zhou Fu immediately replied politely.

"Then you're quite brave. Facing that kind of delinquent student, still a senior, you weren't afraid at all?" He Hongtao praised.

"Still… a little scared." Zhou Fu lowered her head and admitted.

"Haha, quite honest."

The girl's brave attitude just now once made him think that Chen Yuan's object of affection was this person, but the state of the two sitting in the back row, naturally separated, made him clear that it was not what he thought.

Thinking of what had just happened, He Hongtao, whose suppressed emotions were slightly released, couldn't help but confide in these two children: "Wait another year, until that batch of transfer students graduates, then only good kids will be left in our school. Then, there will never be these little bastards hiding in the toilet to smoke again!"

It could be heard that He Hongtao was very dissatisfied, dissatisfied with the legacy problem that Lao Han had left him.

He was an ambitious man with iron-fisted means. He pursued the rate of admission to higher schools, trying to develop this second-rate famous school into a sub-top high school with the strength of Foreign Languages School and Second High School.

What he said was not just about the transfer students leaving.

If nothing unexpected happened, Lao Han would also retire next year.

In this Eleventh High School, there could only be one sky above.

"When Zheng Qi is expelled, the third year will be more peaceful." Chen Yuan said.

"That's impossible."

Lao He felt that Chen Yuan was thinking a bit too naively, so he explained to him: "That batch of transfer students has corrupted many serious students. Now, in the classes at the end of the third year, each class has a 'boss'. If Zheng Qi is expelled, the next head bully will still appear. There's really no way, we can only wait for graduation."

"Oh, is that so… Then it seems there's no way."

Although Chen Yuan said this verbally, he didn't think he was naive.

If Zheng Qi left, there would indeed be a next school bully.

But what if this school bully wasn't in the third year, and wasn't a destructive little bastard?

Hmm, he had an idea.

The black zone of Eleventh High School wasn't necessarily inaccessible to him.

If Lao He was really troubled, I'll help you solve your big problem.

After all, with Zheng Qi's personality, this matter wouldn't end here.

Future vision, progress bar, Weather Lord, perspective, inner voice.

Chen Yuan had a premonition that these powers could all be used for fighting.

Of course, on the premise that the other party provoked him first.

"By the way, everyone said that this math competition was quite difficult this time. They couldn't even finish the first test questions. What do you think?" He Hongtao curiously asked.

Teacher Xu Yicheng said that there would be many students in Class One who could get provincial awards this time, but the number of people who could enter the national competition might not exceed two.

It was even said that because the score line was uncertain, it might just be one.

After all, the increase in difficulty was beneficial to the top prestigious schools such as Fourth High School and First High School.

Chen Yuan was able to get 106 points last time even after handing in the paper early, so he had the strength, so his score might be quite good.

Although he didn't sign up for the second test and couldn't participate in the national competition, the score could test his level.

As a top student seed, if he wanted to sprint for the top student, he needed to get full marks in math and physics. He could lose at most one or two points in each subject, or even two points would be too much.

Regarding this question, Chen Yuan replied: "This exam? It's not that difficult…"

"Not difficult?"

He Hongtao felt a little surprised, after all, everyone said it was difficult, and even the teachers shook their heads after finishing it.

"Some parts are too complicated, which leads to a longer time to solve the problem. If there are another eight to ten minutes… I should be able to finish it."

Chen Yuan's tone was very sincere, and he didn't seem to be pretending at all.

But in fact, he was pretending shamelessly.

I have already seen that my progress bar is 100%, a guaranteed high score, so why can't I open the champagne, why can't I brag?

"Then how many points do you have left that you didn't do?" He Hongtao asked curiously.

"Five points, the last step of the last question."

"You got all the others right?"

He Hongtao's tone became more and more surprised, and he felt that Chen Yuan, this student, was becoming more and more outrageous.

No, two or three months ago, you were still a student with a score of 504, a poor math student with a score of over 100, how could the math competition be just a piece of cake to you now?

So you before…

Didn't learn at all?

"Well… I'm not sure."

"After all, the time was a bit tight." He Hongtao comforted with a smile.

"But after checking the answers with Teacher Mo, it should be all correct."

“……”

He Hongtao's hand holding the steering wheel tightened.

Looking at the red light in front of him, his heart also tightened.

He had already checked with Teacher Mo… Then there was definitely no problem!

In other words, as long as he had the time, he could get full marks on this kind of question.

He was at this level in the math competition, so the math in the college entrance examination would be like a toy to him, wouldn't it?

He had the qualities of a champion… a top student!

He Hongtao could see that Chen Yuan had more potential than every student in his Class One.

The commonality of top science students was that their science and math were extremely strong.

Of course, this was the commonality of top students.

To become a top student, you needed Chinese to raise the upper limit.

But Chinese, although it was said to rely more on sensibility, didn't actually take as much talent as math and other science subjects. Even people with poor literary accomplishment could get high scores in the subject of Chinese.

Chinese has never been about selecting literary giants.

There was still a long time, and if Chen Yuan's lower limit reached its peak, then his competitiveness would be exaggeratedly strong.

Let me see.

You, who didn't learn at all before, what level can you reach when you get serious?

The questions in the Seven-School Joint Exam were more important than this monthly exam, and were more capable of testing ability.

The red light ended, and the green light turned on.

"It's a pity that you didn't participate in the second test."

"I haven't done any of the Olympiad questions. If I participate in the second test temporarily to prepare, the average score might be lowered."

"It's okay, it's good to get extra points."

"Yes, yes." The car was still driving forward when Chen Yuan said, "Principal He, just drop us off here on Xuefu Road."

"Do you live here?" He Hongtao asked.

"My home is here." Zhou Fu answered in a low voice.

"I… I'm waiting for someone later." Chen Yuan said.

"Haha, okay, then I won't send you home."

Just like that, He Hongtao dropped the two of them off at an intersection.

After Zhou Fu got out of the car, she looked at Chen Yuan and said with a surprised expression: "I seriously suspect that you wear glasses just to confuse Principal He."

"Hey, hey, hey! What do you mean?"

You can't ship this randomly!

"I mean, when you pretend to be an honest top student in front of Principal He, you really look… a bit scheming."

Zhou Fu was dumbfounded at that time. Why was this man so good at it, making people want to protect him?

"Isn't that a good thing? Letting He Hongtao solve Zheng Qi also avoids us getting punched by the school bully."

"I think it's good, and there's one point…" Zhou Fu made a gesture of the universe between her fingers and said, "Refreshing." (Xiao Shuang, internet slang for satisfying, cool)

"That's for sure, borrowing power to slap faces, a textbook-like refreshing moment."

This was no different from what Chen Yuan had imagined, and it was basically within the plan.

The only unexpected thing was that He Hongtao was so tough that he directly expelled Zheng Qi, without any regard for Lao Han's face.

This was the courage of a young principal.

This He Hongtao felt really similar to Zhang Jianjun.

Maybe he had already reached 18 or 19 fingers of Zhang Jianjun's level. (A reference to Shu Shi Shou Ce, where the number of fingers indicates the level of advancement.)

Of course, Zhang Jianjun was still the absolute king at the moment. His aura was too strong.

He was able to eradicate school bullies in Fourth High School, and he was so strong that he didn't allow any school bullies around the entire Fourth High School.

If any Fourth High School student had contact with hooligans, just 'making friends,' it would be a suspension or expulsion at best. Moreover, he would also put pressure on other schools to manage their own students well, otherwise he would directly let the police intervene and send these puppies away happily.

It could only be said that people like He Hongtao and Zhang Jianjun would make the school spirit oppressive, but it did play a protective role for the students of the school.

"I hope this matter will end here, and I won't have to get involved with school bullies again." After Zhou Fu finished speaking, she also reflected on herself and then promised, "I won't cause you any trouble in the future."

"What trouble have you caused me?" Chen Yuan asked in confusion.

"If I hadn't had someone add me on QQ, you wouldn't have had a conflict with him…"

"Then how do you solve it?" Chen Yuan asked again.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Fu self-critically said: "I will never post any photos of myself again in the future."

"Okay, then we won't bring you when we go out to play and take pictures in the future."

"Ah?" Zhou Fu felt a chill in her heart when she heard such domineering words from Chen Yuan's mouth, "Really?"

"Just kidding."

"…But I still think it's good to cause you trouble, I have to make some changes." Zhou Fu really didn't know why some boys had to pursue her.

This made her very distressed.

"You don't need to change anything, it's good like this."

Looking at Zhou Fu, Chen Yuan smiled and said, "With He Hongtao's support, I am the school bully. The friendship fee you gave includes protection money."

"…" These words warmed Zhou Fu's heart, and she smiled sweetly, "Thank you."

She, who had been bullied, felt so safe for the first time.

Although I am weak and useless, my deskmate is awesome.

"I'm going to pick up Xin Yu."

"Then I'm going home, bye bye."

"Okay, bye bye."

Here, Chen Yuan and Zhou Fu separated. Then, after he sent a message to Xia Xin Yu, he looked for her, and the two met at the station to wait for the next 737.

"Why are you wearing glasses?" Seeing Chen Yuan wearing glasses, Xia Xin Yu asked a little concerned.

"What do you think, do I look like a school bully?" Chen Yuan asked jokingly.

"…" Xia Xin Yu didn't praise him like other people, saying that he looked more delicate or good-looking with glasses, but said seriously, "Did you get nearsighted recently because you were studying too late?"

"Ah… I guess so. It's a bit blurry to see the blackboard, so I went to get a pair of glasses at noon." Chen Yuan explained.

"It's still a matter of posture. I don't study much less time than you, and I'm not nearsighted." Xia Xin Yu patted Chen Yuan's back from behind and seriously reminded him, "You have to sit up straight when writing questions."

"I know."

"Also, don't play with your phone with the lights off, it's easier to increase the degree that way." Xia Xin Yu always felt that it had something to do with Chen Yuan swiping Douyin before going to bed.

Because several times, she saw Chen Yuan liking the Douyin he sent her very late.

At that time, Chen Yuan clearly said he was going to sleep, but he was still playing with his phone.

Moreover, he must have been playing with the lights off.

"Okay, I know, Mother Xin Yu." Chen Yuan responded as if he were dealing with his nagging mother.

"You think I'm long-winded… then I won't say it."

"Hey, don't, say more."

You never get tired of hearing words of concern.

And Xin Yu was indeed his family. When she saw him wearing glasses, her first thought was that the degree shouldn't increase.

Zhou Fu and Li Youyou all praised him for looking good with glasses.

Of course, they were the normal reactions.

Something like Xin Yu was rare.

There was no way, Xin Yu was too rare.

"Did you have anything at school today…"

Just as Xia Xin Yu was about to talk to him, Chen Yuan received a call.

It was a strange number, but it was a Xia Hai number.

So, he answered it.

On the other end of the phone was a man who sounded relatively young and had a somewhat cold voice.

"Chen Yuan."

He called out his name.

Then, Chen Yuan showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, responded with two 'uh-huhs', and then gestured to Xia Xin Yu, indicating that he wanted to avoid her for a moment.

Xia Xin Yu didn't ask any more questions, and just stood there, watching Chen Yuan turn his back and talk on the phone.

Although she didn't know who it was, he was smiling, so it should be okay.

That's what Xia Xin Yu thought.

But the situation was not like that.

"I'm Zheng Qi's brother, can I talk to you?" the other side asked.

"What do you think?" Chen Yuan asked back peacefully.

Then, after a slight pause, the other side said, "Your girlfriend is from Fourth High School, right?"

These words made the smile on Chen Yuan's face disappear.

But soon, the smile was revitalized.

In order not to worry Xia Xin Yu.

But some people seemed to want him to worry.

"Okay, let's talk."

No matter who you are.
