Chen Yuan hadn't intended to go that far.

But look at the kind of bullshit this bastard was spouting.

If he didn't score 680, he'd have to pay triple the compensation?

Did he think he could scam him like a fresh graduate?

He hadn't even graduated high school yet.

Promotions were always a gamble, and he wanted a guaranteed profit.

Black-hearted capitalist, get the fuck out of here.

But to Chen Yuan's surprise, this guy didn't get angry at being cursed out; he agreed immediately.

Of course, finding the next one willing to pay 100,000 was easy; after all, Chen Yuan had only spent a few minutes talking business with these merchants.

If he wanted to, he could have even raised the price to 150,000 for each of them, but he chose not to.

It was a waste of his study time.

Besides, these were all small businesses with no big-name products. Life wasn't easy for them, so he'd treat the 100,000 as a welfare bonus for trusting him.

As for the 200,000, that was purely because the guy was shouting nonsense.

But even at 200,000, he'd agreed…

He must really be hungry.

Si Xue Nian Nian: Let's talk on WeChat. Then send five samples of your product via SF Express. They need to arrive within two days.

And just like that, Chen Yuan finalized all the deals.

Next up was drafting online contracts and collecting the yuan.

But he wasn't in the mood for that today.

The exam was tomorrow.

Dumplings, dumplings.

And so, he lay on his bed, imagining the content he had reviewed today…

…

The next day, he woke up in the morning.

Everyone else was also awakened by their alarms.

Zhou Yu got out of bed and said unhappily to Chen Yuan, "The people online are really fucking idiots. I said I was Chen Yuan's classmate, I even gave my name and showed a group photo, but no one liked my comments. They just sank. I really don't understand why these people refuse to believe the obvious facts and choose to believe those made-up stories?"

"Otherwise, why do you think those people are only exonerated silently after many years?" Tang Jian retorted.

"Yeah, like the Zhu Jun incident," Zhang Chao said regretfully. "There was no evidence at all, but he was completely ruined… I believe the person involved was also desperate at the time, and tried to speak out, even using legal means."

"Because he didn't understand how to play the internet."

That was Chen Yuan's assessment.

And his way of proving himself was through mockery, using the word "fucking."

Since they wanted to attract attention, then he would attract attention.

Since they thought he was showing off, then he'd go all-in on Lamborghini fragments.

What about it? He was going to flaunt it.

He wouldn't bet on the goodness of humanity, he'd bet on the evil of humanity.

As for why he didn't release his previous exam scores?

People didn't want to see such a boring reversal.

Human nature was evil; they wanted something exciting.

So, he'd take a big gamble.

If he won, he'd take all those bastards to the supermarket.

He was messing with those born idiots.

"I also tried to clear your name online, saying you weren't a playboy, but no one cared, sigh," Tang Jian said regretfully.

"Clear my name? What the fuck! Are you Oreki Houtarou or something?"

"Ehehe, you found me out."

"Stop trying to be cute, you."

Amidst such banter, the four finished washing up and went to the cafeteria. Then, they each went to their respective exam rooms.

"Chen Yuan, are you okay?"

On the way, Chen Yuan ran into Li Wei, who asked with some concern.

"I'm fine," Chen Yuan said with a faint smile, replying calmly, "Good luck on the exam, Saintess of the Liberal Arts."

"You too," Li Wei said, trying to be abstract, "Saint of Science, good luck!"

Saint of Science, huh…

Shengnan (勝男, "surpass men") was a typical name with male-gazing undertones!

Why surpass men?

Are you saying that boys are naturally stronger than girls, so girls need to surpass men, right?

Not what I said.

Then, Chen Yuan said goodbye to Li Wei with a smile and went to the exam room for Class One.

And then, everyone looked at him as if they were seeing a celebrity.

Many of them, even though they had no connection to Chen Yuan, proactively came over to comfort him, telling him not to take it to heart and expressing their disgust at those netizens.

And that was Chen Yuan's foundation at Eleventh High.

It wasn't that becoming a saint could gain everyone's approval, but that the people everyone approved of could become saints.

He was very grateful to be the Executive Vice Principal of such a school.

Although this position was very humble and couldn't compare to his role as Planetary Governor of Earth, he felt happy in all the time he spent here.

"Chen Yuan."

Just then, Xiao Sun behind him suddenly called out to him.

Chen Yuan turned around and saw Xiao Sun looking at him with some seriousness.

"What's up?" Chen Yuan asked with a smile.

Xiao Sun was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Although you've never considered me a rival, you really are my rival."

Hiss, what was Xiao Sun going to do?

Just as Chen Yuan was curious, Xiao Sun said with particular seriousness, "Those chattering people are all idiots. I know how hard you work and how genuine your grades are. Don't be affected by them. If you have a mental breakdown and score worse than me, then I'll really be disappointed."

Xiao Sun was a little shy when he said these words.

At the same time, he was very boyish.

You could see many good qualities in him.

As the former Saint.

He wasn't bad.

Slowly, Chen Yuan raised his fist.

Xiao Sun also extended his fist.

The two lightly bumped fists.

To be honest, he had never thought he would become friends with Xiao Sun, because this guy's personality was really boring.

But now, he saw some particularly good things about the other party.

As a former rival, I acknowledge you—Son.

Eleventh High League Golden Boot winner!

Then, let the battle begin.

And so, Chen Yuan waited for the exam to arrive.

Before long, the proctor came over with the sealed exam papers.

Then, he looked at Chen Yuan.

He also knew about the recent events on the internet…

So, he felt that Chen Yuan's exam score might really crash this time.

After all, no high school student could withstand such pressure.

And this time, it was a city-wide unified exam, with city-wide grading, completely confidential.

Ah, good luck.

Ten minutes before the exam, before the papers were distributed, everyone in the first exam room was reciting poetry.

Just then, a man came to the door.

Seeing him, the proctor stiffened and quickly walked over.

Then, He Hongtao just waved his hand. Then, he looked at Chen Yuan: "Chen Yuan, come here for a moment."

Seeing this, the proctor didn't go over and stopped in place.

And Chen Yuan got up and went outside the classroom.

Then, everyone curiously perked up their ears, wanting to hear what the two were talking about.

After all, everyone knew that Chen Yuan was He Hongtao's confidante.

So at this time, was he here to support him?

"This time it's a city-wide unified exam, and the grading is also city-wide centralized grading…"

"Even if our school grades it ourselves, there's no need to be biased in grading to help me," Chen Yuan interrupted He Hongtao, speaking with particular seriousness.

"Of course, you're right," He Hongtao nodded and said with a smile, "I believe in your strength. There definitely won't be any problems."

But under this kind of pressure, who could guarantee that they wouldn't be affected in the slightest?

Chen Yuan was just a child.

That was what He Hongtao was worried about.

If he really saw the kind of situation where he completely collapsed under online abuse, He Hongtao would be very heartbroken.

And then, particularly angry.

At that time, he had to step in. Even if he called people from the TV station, he had to suppress the online violence.

Chen Yuan could see that He Hongtao was very emotional.

So, he comforted him and said, "The internet says that 700 points is considered a successful self-validation. For me, that score is at the level of last semester. It's too easy."

"That's right, yes."

He Hongtao nodded, then asked caringly, "Why didn't you answer my call yesterday?"

What's wrong, acting like a little princess, He Hongtao?

"Um…" Chen Yuan thought for a moment, then said, "Yesterday, too many people were calling me, so I put my phone on silent. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to study."

"Oh, oh, I see, sorry."

He Hongtao nodded understandingly, then glanced at the classroom and said, "Then I'll go. Focus on your exam."

"Teacher."

Just as he was about to leave, Chen Yuan called out to him.

Then, watching He Hongtao, who was somewhat expecting him to confide in him, he made a grateful promise, "The sixth advertisement in my video will be for our best Eleventh High."
