Chapter 27.1 - (Part 1) (1/2)
However, the Evergreen Class only dared to make noise outside of the classroom.
When Fu Yangxi came out with a dark look on his face, before the other half of that mop of red hair could leave the door, the huge crowd dispersed like the small minions who were running away to protect their own tower. Their backs were cautiously stuck to the wall, afraid of Fu Yangxi’s approach.
They only had the courage to continue glaring at him.
“What’s all this noise?” Fu Yangxi had his silver headphones around his neck. Both his hands were stuffed in his pockets as he looked towards the people from the Evergreen Class. “Since the spot has been given to Zhao Mingxi, it means that she has that capability. What are you ugly people making all this fuss for?”
When the followers in the International Class saw Fu Yangxi’s appearance, they immediately mustered up some courage. They puffed up their chest and yelled back.
“Exactly!”
“How dare you unsightly people claim that we used money to buy that spot? What’s the use of giving this spot to you people from the Evergreen Class anyways? Did anyone from your class manage to complete that last question for the previous Math exam? LOL.”
“Isn’t this spot forcefully given to Zhao Mingxi because the dean looks up to our class? We don’t even want the title of School Beauty! Tsk!”
The more they spoke, the more outrageous and insulting it was!
What did they mean by not wanting it? They were obviously flaunting themselves despite having obtained the long end of the stick!
The group of people from the Evergreen Class were about to lose it. They all had their fists clenched tight, ready to rush up to fight against them— fight against everyone aside from Fu Yangxi.
The class monitor who was the leader of the Evergreen Class said, “Fu Yangxi, this isn’t a small matter. It has something to do with the Tournament. If you have the ability then do it fairly. Don’t utilize such low methods behind our backs!”
The more they spoke, the more emotional they got. Furthermore, the two classes had a long history of hate, and due to the accumulation of such hate, the boys from the two classes were beginning to push against each other. The corridor of the 5th floor was gradually getting more and more crowded. Even the students from the Gold Medal Class couldn’t help but to stick their heads out of their windows to watch the show.
Zhao Mingxi wanted to stand up and go out, but she was stopped by Ke Chengwen. “Your appearance will only make things worse. Let’s just wait for Xi ge to finish dealing with them first.”
Seeing as how a war was about to happen, the dean got extremely anxious. He rushed over with sweat running down his forehead. “What are you all doing? Do all of you want to clean the toilets again?”
When Fu Yangxi gave him a threatening glare saying, ‘if you dare make me clean the toilets again I will tear down the whole building’, the dean swallowed, turned to the Evergreen Class and yelled angrily, “What are you guys from the Evergreen Class doing? Are you guys too free after eating lunch? If you don’t return to your own class, everyone who is present here will be punished!”
“How could you punish our class only?” The Evergreen Class got even angrier. Just as the scene got more intense, Ye Bing arrived with a solemn look along with Mu Jiao who had red-rimmed eyes.
Ye Bing said coldly, “Since the students in this building already found out about it, sir, let’s make it clear right now! How in the world did such a selection happen?! You have to explain it to us and give everyone a fair answer!”
The dean had explained himself so many times that blisters were almost growing on his tongue. “I already said that this was a spot specially requested by Professor Gao for Zhao Mingxi! What in the world are you guys making all this fuss for?!”
Whispers broke out among the crowd.
“Who will believe that?!”
“How is that possible? If that spot was specially given to Zhao Mingxi I will swallow 300 basketballs!”
“Zhao Mingxi had only transferred here from the Normal Class a month ago. Professor Gao has never been to the building of the Normal Class so he would not know her. Dean, how could you push such a responsibility to Professor Gao? And to say that he was the one who had specially requested for this? Ha, then why didn’t Professor Gao make a special request for me?”
No one believed it.
It was impossible for them to believe it.
Aside from the fact that Professor Gao had an eccentric character and he would never do such a thing, the Gold Medal Class’ Mr. Jiang was Professor Gao’s student, yet he had never heard of such news! This was definitely done by someone behind the scenes! This wasn’t the first time Fu Yangxi had done such a thing. Isn’t it that every time he bullies the Evergreen Class, the dean would always let him go and punish those from the Evergreen Class?
It was absolutely preposterous and simply unbearable!
Mu Jiao was right behind Ye Bing. The more she thought about it, the sadder she was. Her tears were falling in long lines. It was a chance which was supposed to have been hers, yet it was stolen by the International Class’ Zhao Mingxi.
Should she blame herself for not being rich or pretty enough to attract the attention of the Fu family’s Young Master?
Mu Jiao was a petite girl. She was never the type who would go against others and would always focus on her own studies. But now, she was being bullied to this extent.
The Evergreen Class including Ye Bing were especially angered by this.
Ye Bing said, “Sir, you have to tell us the truth!”
The dean was about to lose his cool. “I already told you!”
Mr. Lu had his arms crossed as he stood quietly at the corner. Although a huge fight was breaking out, whenever he thought about how the spot for the Tournament belonged to their class, he was always very close to laughing out loud.
As Mr. Jiang was the homeroom teacher of the Gold Medal Class and he was the teacher in charge of the Tournament Representative Team, he had the most say out of all the classes.
He came out as a middleman and said to the dean, “Sir, as we are people who work in the education industry, we cannot bend over backwards for underhanded dealings. How about this, let me have a say. Let’s go in accordance with the rules and give the Tournament spot to the Evergreen Class’ Mu Jiao.”
Fu Yangxi scoffed. “Interesting. I haven’t even done anything and yet you’re talking about bending over backwards. Who wants your old back to bend over backwards?”
It’ll make odd cracking sounds if he does so.
“How could you talk to a teacher like this?!” Mr. Jiang was enraged. His face was flushed red and his eyes rounded in a glare.
Mr. Lu thought, you’re finally experiencing how I’m always angered to the point of aging another 10 years.
At this moment.
“Jiang Guangping, what in the world are you doing?!”
A voice which was strict and unamendable to reason suddenly cut through the chaos in the corridor.
Why does this voice sound like, like…
Everyone turned to look. An angered dean was holding up his phone, and he was on a video call.
As for the other side of the video call—
Although the signal was quite bad, it was still Professor Gao’s face which was enough to make them tremble in fear!
The people from the Evergreen Class were overjoyed. Did Professor Gao make a call because he heard of how the spot was given to Zhao Mingxi as well? Professor Gao has always been a fair and justiciable man. Once he finds out the truth, he will not allow such a thing to happen!
There was hope glimmering in Mu Jiao’s eyes.
Miss Ye Bing also hurriedly took this chance and hurriedly spoke, “The situation is this: did you not make a special request for another spot in the Tournament just for your juniors? By right that person should be chosen in accordance to the rankings, so the spot ought to belong to our Evergreen Class’ Mu Jiao. But now, in the name list that was presented by the dean, the new spot was given to Zhao Mingxi. Please make a fair judgment—”
Before she could finish, she was cut off. “It is for Zhao Mingxi.”
“…”
The air in the corridor fell silent. Everyone’s jaws dropped in shock.
“…What?” Ye Bing could not process what Professor Gao said.
Everyone in the corridor, including the students from the Evergreen Class and International Class couldn’t return to their senses.
It is for Zhao Mingxi.
What does that mean?
Professor Gao was trying hard to maintain a stern look. He said patiently, “My intention from the beginning was to make a special request for a spot to be given to my most promising student, and that is my disciple, Zhao Mingxi. So what are all of you making such noise for?! And you dare say that it was unfair? Do I not have the right to recommend someone anymore?! Come, Miss Ye Bing, right? How about you become the Vice President of the Tournament? Then you can recommend whoever you want!!”
“…” Ye Bing was yelled at so much that she fell into a daze.
