Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 526: Chapter 525 Strong Contrast

Principal Zhou’s face was livid; he did not respond to Dong Hui’s remark.

Dong Hui was even more elated. For years, his school had been at the bottom among these middle schools, and he had been holding back a lot of frustration.

The vice-principals from other schools could swagger around in his place.

And now, finally, it was his turn to shine!

”Principal Zhou, why don’t you go back and let Principal Wang know,” Dong Hui said with a smile, ”I’ve arranged for a table this evening, inviting him over for a meal. Oh yes, Principal Zhou, make sure you come too!”

Principal Zhou’s expression grew even uglier. Dong Hui was deliberately setting up their principal for humiliation.

”Our principal doesn’t have time, and I don’t have time tonight either!” snapped Principal Zhou, teeth clenched. Of course, he wouldn’t go and make a fool of himself.

”Really? Is Principal Wang that busy?” Dong Hui scratched his head and chuckled, ”Well, that’s fine, suit yourselves. Anyway, I have invited the city bureau chief and several deputy chiefs, and we will also invite principals from all the middle schools in the city. This is a big event, a cause for celebration, and the city bureau is very supportive. If Principal Wang and Principal Zhou can’t make it, I’ll trouble you to call the city bureau to request leave in advance.”

Principal Zhou was nearly driven mad with rage. Damn it, calling the city bureau to request leave? That was asking for trouble! Dong Hui was doing this on purpose; they couldn’t just not show up!

”I... I’ll go back and tell Principal Wang right away...” said Principal Zhou, almost through gritted teeth.

”No rush, no rush, dinner isn’t until tonight. There’s plenty of time!” Dong Hui said with a laugh. ”By the way, when you leave later, remember to take your students with you. As for that ’summary meeting,’ I advise you not to have it. We’ll have one here instead; why don’t you come to ours?”

Principal Zhou walked away with a face like iron, too angry to speak.

Back in the classroom, Su Yang returned to a scene of chaos.

The students from Third Middle School were the most vociferous, naturally questioning what abilities Su Yang possessed to be invited by the principals of those three prestigious schools to teach.

Some of the Seventh Middle School students tried to argue, but they didn’t know the specifics, so their rebuttals lacked confidence. After all, it made no sense for three prestigious schools to invite a high school student to teach.

Seeing Su Yang return, the students from Third Middle School immediately focused their attention on him. The leader, a youth with acne, shouted, ”Hey, Su Yang, you’re back? How much did you spend to bring these actors here? Does your family own a mountain of gold or a silver mine to afford such extravagance?”

Su Yang ignored him completely, and the acne-ridden boy immediately perked up, ”What’s the matter, too scared to speak? Did you really get scammed and now feel too ashamed to talk?”

”Nonsense, we’ve got people from the provincial department and the city bureau here, how could they be fraudsters!” a student from Seventh Middle School retorted immediately, ”It must have worked out, Su Yang definitely chose one of the schools!”

”Heh, and which school did he choose? Tell us, Su Yang,” a student from Third Middle School said mockingly, ”You’re going to teach at a university, so why come back here? To pack your bag and take high school textbooks home for self-study?”

A wave of laughter erupted from Third Middle School, and the students from Seventh Middle School counter-argued, their debate flaring up once again.

Zhao Qiupeng walked up to Su Yang and whispered, ”Xiao Yang, what’s going on? Which school will you be teaching at?”

”I’m not going to teach,” replied Su Yang.

”What?” Zhao Qiupeng was startled, not sure what he meant.

”Are you joking?” Zhao Qiupeng asked incredulously, ”Three prestigious schools came to invite you, and... you didn’t choose any?”

”Why bother choosing?” Su Yang said with a smile. ”I’m not someone who likes being a teacher!”

”...” Zhao Qiu Peng’s eyes were almost bulging out. What sort of opportunity was this, and Su Yang just gave it up?

”So... So the people from the three prestigious schools really came?” Zhao Qiu Peng asked anxiously.

Su Yang nodded, and Zhao Qiu Peng hurriedly said, ”Then you should speak up here. Those guys from No. 3 Middle School have gone too far, always looking down on you, thinking you’re a fraud!”

Su Yang was at a loss for words, ”Big brother, these are just students, what’s the point of arguing with them about this? Besides, even if they knew I’m not a fraud, what could that possibly change?”

”At least they won’t be so arrogant anymore!” Zhao Qiu Peng insisted urgently, ”Didn’t you see how arrogant these bastards were, acting like they’re so important. Su Yang, we at least have to stand up for our No. 7 Middle School’s honor!”

Su Yang was the picture of helplessness. He really didn’t want to get involved in these kids’ disputes, especially not in these kinds of disputes.

Just as the argument was getting increasingly heated, suddenly, an angry voice came from afar, ”Zhao Cheng, you guys, come back here!”

Everyone looked over, only to see Principal Zhou standing in the distance, face seething with anger.

The boy with acne was Zhao Cheng. He paused, then said in astonishment, ”Principal Zhou, what’s wrong? These people from No. 7 Middle School are swindlers, they even hit someone before, we can’t let this go!”

”You shut up!” Principal Zhou’s face was ashen with rage, ”Go back to class, and don’t you ever come to No. 7 Middle School again!”

”Why?” Zhao Cheng was completely dumbfounded, and the others from No. 3 Middle School were equally astonished.

Just then, Dong Hui walked over, smiling, ”Because, your Principal Zhou wants to save face!”

Everyone was surprised, and the people from No. 7 Middle School got a little excited. A student from No. 7 Middle School hurriedly asked, ”Was it true... what happened just now about the principals from the three prestigious schools coming over?”

”Of course it’s true!” Dong Hui said proudly, ”If it weren’t true, would Principal Zhou have that kind of expression?”

The people from No. 7 Middle School looked at Principal Zhou’s livid face and burst into laughter.

The students from No. 3 Middle School were stunned. Could it be... this was actually true?

”Which school did Su Yang end up choosing?” a student asked in surprise.

”He didn’t choose any!” Dong Hui said with a laugh.

”What?” Everyone exclaimed in surprise. He didn’t choose any? What was this about?

”Was it him that didn’t choose, or was it the three prestigious schools that gave up on him?” Zhao Cheng quickly asked loudly.

Dong Hui glanced at him, sneering, ”What, even now you don’t want to admit the truth? Hmph, of course, it was Master Su who chose not to. However, he agreed to be a guest professor at these three prestigious schools!”

”Guest professor?” Everyone was baffled again. Was this the choice Su Yang had made in the end?

No matter what, this was enough to prove that these three prestigious schools indeed were vying for Su Yang!

The students from No. 3 Middle School immediately deflated. Those who had been the most vociferous before couldn’t even lift their heads now. What were their guaranteed admission spots worth compared to Su Yang’s situation? The contrast was too stark!
