"Don't act so shocked. Am I that stupid in your heart?" Fang Yan said with a sneer.
"How did you know that?" Zheng Jing said bitterly.
"You just acted exactly like I did on my first day at Suzaku for an interview. I spent a long time practicing my facial expressions and lip movements in front of the mirror, and I'm sure you're no exception."
"------" Fang Yan's answer made Zheng Jing feel like he was about to die. Did he accidentally walk the same path that Fang Yan had walked before
"Also, you've been deliberately keeping a low profile recently, and you really haven't fought back or said anything back. People in the office attacked and excluded you, but you looked miserable but didn't argue. Even Principal Zhang couldn't stand it anymore, and he intentionally or unintentionally asked you to do something to prevent you from being completely ignored. There were so many people in the principal's office, why did Principal Zhang ask you to come to me? Not everyone has the opportunity to run errands for the principal."
"Just now in the Chinese Language Office, everyone was finding fault with you and making sarcastic remarks, but you kept apologizing and even treated everyone to a meal. If the director could do such a humiliating thing, who would dare to do it? Zheng Jing, you don't want to leave, and you have never thought about leaving. Right?"
Zheng Jing was like a thief who was stripped naked and put on display. He stood in front of Fang Yan, trembling, and said with embarrassment: "I have thought about leaving. Because I never believed that I could get past you. You are different from the others."
"Yes. Principal Zhang and his men are well-read and have a righteous heart. As long as you bow your head and show weakness, everyone will feel sorry for you and think they should sympathize with you. Zheng Jing, you can't bully scholars like this."
"I'll go back and write my resignation report now." Zheng Jing said quickly.
"Quit it. There really is no place for you here." Fang Yan said. He looked at Zheng Jing with a playful look and said, "However, if you are interested, I can recommend you to work in another place. That job should be more challenging for you."
Zheng Jing looked excited and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Chaoyan Technology."
"------" Zheng Jing didn't expect Fang Yan to push him to Lu Chaoge again. His former master, a woman he had betrayed. His throat was dry, and he said with difficulty: "Aren't you afraid of my betrayal?"
"You don't dare." Fang Yan said with a smile. "Before, you betrayed Lu Chaoge, and she didn't say anything, so I pretended not to see it. If you betray me this time, the one who will be betrayed is me. Oh, I forgot to tell you that I recently raised a little snake. Come to my place to drink snake wine when you have time."
"------"
The door of Zhang Shaofeng's office was open, which was done on purpose.
For the first time ever, the crazy Ivy League president, Zhong Deyi, came to Suzaku in person to apologize. Naturally, this kind of thing had to be seen by everyone who could see it.
Zhong Deyi is tall, with a big beard and slicked-back hair. He wears a long black trench coat and a tie. He looks more like a stylish artist than a high school principal.
So, when Fang Yan walked to the door, without anyone notifying him, he met Zhong Deyi's eyes.
Sharp, domineering, and with strong penetrating power.
Some people say that reading thousands of books can make you write like a god. Zhong Deyi is the president of an Ivy League school, so how many people have he read? Therefore, his eyes have a very special look. It seems that there are no secrets in his eyes, and your little thoughts and tricks are not worth mentioning in front of him.
Moreover, Fang Yan was very keenly aware that when Zhong Deyi turned around and looked at him, his emotions changed slightly.
He is deliberately creating pressure on himself.
If other young teachers in the school encountered the oppressive gaze of Zhong Deyi, who was of a much higher status than them, they would be unable to speak or walk, and would not even dare to look him in the eye.
But Fang Yan is Fang Yan, a guy who even dragged out the Oriental Sword God and beat him up, so why would he care about Zhong Deyi's power
Fang Yan walked into the office naturally, greeted Zhang Shaofeng respectfully, and said with a smile: "Principal Zhang, are you looking for me?"
Since Zhang Shaofeng hadn't introduced Zhong Deyi's identity yet, Fang Yan naturally wouldn't take the initiative to greet him. That would only show that he didn't know what was good for him and betrayed Zheng Jing's act of tipping off.
Zhong Deyi's eyes were slightly surprised, and he observed Fang Yan calmly.
Zhang Shaofeng was very satisfied with Fang Yan's performance, and said with a smile: "Fang Yan, let me introduce you to a senior - Principal Zhong Deyi of Ivy League High School. Principal Zhong is a very busy man, but he usually can't invite many distinguished guests. Today, he came to our Suzaku specially to see you, and you have made an invaluable contribution."
Fang Yan then turned to look at Zhong Deyi, took the initiative to extend his hand and said: "Hello, Principal Zhong. You are too polite. If you have anything to say hello, I will come over. How can I let Principal Zhong come here in person?"
Zhong Deyi grabbed Fang Yan's outstretched hand and shook it vigorously. His palm was large and thick, and his strength was fierce. It felt like a bone breaking when he held it.
However, he hit a wall again.
No matter how hard he tried, Fang Yan looked calm and composed, as if the hand held by Zhong Deyi was not his at all.
Zhong Deyi's face turned very strange, and he laughed and said, "Good boy, you are worthy of being a famous teacher in Huacheng. I have heard of your name for a long time, and I thought it was deliberately hyped by the outside world. How could there be such a magical person in this world? After seeing you today, it is indeed well-deserved. Now I am completely convinced. I tried several times just now, and you acted like nothing happened. It is not unfair that those boys in our school fell into your hands."
Fang Yan was shocked.
Zhong Deyi is indeed not an ordinary person. It is rare to find someone who can bully someone secretly, fail in the bullying, and then treat it as an embarrassing incident and speak out in public to praise the person he bullied as a talented person.
Most importantly, what did he mean by saying that those guys in their school fell into his hands? It was as if he had deliberately framed them.
Fang Yan is not a person who likes to suffer losses, no matter who the person who wants him to suffer losses is.
"Principal Zhong has tested me? How come I didn't know anything about it?" Fang Yan asked in bewilderment. "Did Principal Zhong remember the wrong person? I think Principal Zhong is very kind and warm to people. You see, he held my hand for a long time without letting go. I rarely see such an approachable leader----"
The anger in Zhong Deyi's eyes flashed away, and then he let go of Fang Yan's hand, turned around and looked at Zhang Shaofeng and said, "Look, look, Old Zhang, your little teacher Fang is not simple - he is challenging me. He said that my temptation was too childish and didn't even have the power to be noticed."
Although the two schools are competing with each other and the relationship between the two is definitely not harmonious, the face of the head of a school must still be given and the dignity of the principal must still be maintained.
Zhang Shaofeng looked at Zhong Deyi with a smile and said, "Principal Zhong, this is not my fault. Did you hear what Teacher Fang Yan said just now? He said that he rarely sees a leader as approachable as you. I deal with him all day long, but I have never seen him praise me so much. You are warm and kind, and he speaks to you without restraint. This is a matter between you two, and it cannot be blamed on me."
Zhong Deyi nodded and said, "Okay, your door has been open for a long time. People have seen my old face hundreds of times. Should we close the door and talk about business now?"
Zhang Shaofeng neither admitted nor denied his intention to embarrass Zhong Deyi, and said, "Zheng Jing, close the door."
Zheng Jing nodded in agreement, quickly walked over to close the office door, and then walked out.
Zhang Shaofeng looked at Zhong Deyi and asked with a smile, "What is the business that Principal Zhong wants to discuss?"
Zhong Deyi looked at Fang Yan with burning eyes and asked, "What conditions do you want to drop the charges against our students?"
"I don't understand what Principal Zhong means." Fang Yan said.
Zhong Deyi looked slightly angry and said, "Young people occasionally act silly to adjust the atmosphere and make people smile, but if they keep acting silly, people will be disappointed."
"I really don't understand what Principal Zhong means." Fang Yan said again.
“You don’t understand?” Fang Jianhong, the Dean of Studies at the Ivy League School, who was standing behind Zhong Deyi and completely out of the spotlight, and whom Fang Yan had met once but the exchange was not pleasant, jumped out with a face full of anger and said, “The students in your class beat up our students, and until now our students are still lying in the hospital beds - how dare you say you don’t know what happened?”
Fang Yan looked at Fang Jianhong with a smile and said, "When did I say I didn't know what happened? I meant I didn't understand what Principal Zhong meant. Director Fang, language is the basis of communication. You should work harder on it."
"You're going too far----" Fang Jianhong wanted to rush over and grab Fang Yan a few times. Even a bite would be fine.
Zhong Deyi just glanced over and Fang Jianhong immediately retreated to the corner.
Zhong Deyi looked at Fang Yan and said, "You don't understand. I can explain it to you. What I mean is that the students in your class beat up the students in our school. Now it's our students who are injured and hospitalized. We are the ones who suffered the loss. We can bear the medical expenses ourselves. Shouldn't you also forgive them? If you continue to tangle like this, it will seriously affect the relationship between our two schools, right?"
Fang Yan looked at Zhang Shaofeng from the side and asked, "Principal Zhang, isn't Principal Zhong here to apologize?"
"This----" This question is really difficult for Zhang Shaofeng to answer.
"In that case, I'll go back first." Fang Yan said. "I have two classes this morning, and the students are still waiting in the classroom."
After Fang Yan finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the door.
Zhong Deyi was stunned for a few seconds, pointed at Fang Yan's back and laughed, saying: "Everyone in the circle calls me the Crazy Principal. I didn't expect to meet a Crazy Teacher who is even more arrogant than me today----Interesting. It's really interesting." (To be continued)
