Chapter 43 (1/2)

Fatty could not wrap his head around it. Why was the arrogant and despotic Brother Yang, the school troublemaker, standing up for Gu Mang?

He turned around and asked, “Brother Yang, why are you trying to protect Sister Mang?”

Gu Mang raised her eyebrows as a sign of interest.

Lu Yang cupped his chin and said, “I saw her results before and she has an entire row of zeros, which looks nicer than my own, so I felt like I should yield the throne of being last place to her. From now on, she’s the one I’ll protect!”

Fatty was speechless.

If he had known that he could have gotten Brother Yang to serve him through this method, he should have worked harder to be last place!

…

News of the bet reached Princ.i.p.al Fu’s ears and he made a call to Lu Shangjin urgently.

If the people under Director-General Lu’s care suffered any embarra.s.sment, he would definitely lose his job.

After hearing Princ.i.p.al Fu describe the events, Lu Shangjin replied calmly, “You don’t have to care about this matter. Gu Mang will settle it on her own.”

The princ.i.p.al thought about it and asked, “Director-General Lu, the results in Gu Mang’s file are fake, right?”

When he first saw Gu Mang’s file, he had not wanted her in his school. However, because he had to give into Lu Shangjin, he could only harden his scalp and enroll her.

Afterwards, he thought about it and realized that things couldn’t be that simple, for how could someone get zeros for every single exam?

Lu Shangjin was a little surprised that Princ.i.p.al Fu managed to understand the situation so quickly, but he did not elaborate further. Instead, he only said, “I heard that Ming City High School has been overshadowed by Experimental High School over the years. Gu Mang will make Ming City High School regain its former glory and will also add much color to your teaching career.”

Princ.i.p.al Fu was shocked.

Gu Mang must be a very special person if Director-General Lu had such faith in her.

…

The number of students who paid attention in the morning cla.s.s increased dramatically and even the subst.i.tute teachers felt the change in Cla.s.s Twenty.

However, they still pitied them. Even if they bucked up now, how could they catch up to Cla.s.s One?

In the afternoon, Gu Mang and Meng Jinyang went to eat in the cafeteria after school.

Lu Yang brought Chu Yao and Fatty and followed them and the five of them sat at a six-seater table.
