Face-Slapping the reborn CEO (2.1)
Editor: ghost
“Then I really thank you for your partiality, Principal Nie.”
Nie Yuantong had also treated Zhou Xu well in the last life. After Zhou Xueli was reborn, he escaped Zhou Xu’s bullying and started to scheme against Zhou Xu until he was utterly isolated, and was even instructed to drop out of school, but Nie Yuantong directly used his principal’s status to reject it.
Unfortunately, no matter if it was in the first world or in the previous one, the original Zhou Xu always stayed away from Nie Yuantong. First, Nie Yuantong was the school principal and secondly, Nie Yuantong was the second generation of officials.
Yes, Nie Yuantong was a standard second generation of officials and his father was not a minor official, rather he was this country’s Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister actually liked Nie Yuantong a lot, but Nie Yuantong did not want to enter the political circles. He loathed the officials’ hypocrisy and flattery. So after graduating, Nie Yuantong stayed at school to be a teacher.
Several years later, he became the principal of the school. Of course, there were a lot of reasons why he could become the principal of this school, but Nie Yuantong always acted as if he didn’t know. Anyway, he hadn’t asked for the position, he had been elected.
Unlike regular universities, the course of this school was inclined towards practice rather than theory.
For example, for the easy market analysis course. The first time Zhou Xu attended this course, the teacher divided the students into groups and gave them an exercise: please use “silk” to design a product.
The course was once a week. The second week, the teacher asked the students to physically create the designed product.
The third week, the teacher asked the students to find a partner or a company that intended to work with them.
The fourth week, the teacher wanted them to think back to the major shortcomings of their product, as well as whether there was a market for it, and how to optimize it.
The fifth week, they continued to search for a partner.
And so on…
The point is that the process was real, so the experience gotten by the students was also real.
Even though Zhou Xu was really vicious towards Zhou Xueli, the degree of motivation Zhou Xu had for school was far stronger than Zhou Xueli.
Because, by the fourth week, he had already found a partner, and had already discussed the feasibility of the product.
This was precisely the advantage of this high-level business school. As long as one could graduate, the students’ practical ability and interpersonal communication ability were higher than those of ordinary universities. In addition, some students already had some network resources.
This was also the reason why this school was highly respected in this world: it was practical.
But, some students wondered why they were not allowed to date in this college?
In reality, the school only had this one rule. But the students were all big and the small teachers could not afford to provoke any of these students, so most of the teachers pretended like they hadn’t seen anything and let them date.
Nie Yuantong was also the same. Only, he knew that Zhou Xu didn’t like his little brother. That’s why he casually said a few words to Zhou Xueli. Of course, he didn’t take the matter at heart.
This school rule of not allowing dating was because the students were either business princes, second generations of officials, or second generations of the military. The future and marriage of these children weren’t decided by themselves. Dating now could become information that could be used against them in the future or even a fatal weak point. This was the original intention of having this kind of rule. Only later no one cared about it.
“You really want to thank me? In that case, treat me to a meal.” Nie Yuantong said.
“Sorry, I refuse.”
After talking, Zhou Xu turned to leave. He was not in the mood to eat with the head of the school, and he did not understand why Nie Yuantong was so interested in himself.
Early this morning, after Zhou Xu arrived at school, he had been surrounded by several brother-like lackeys. The parents of these little brothers were mostly the bosses of third-rate companies, and some were children of the executive managers of large companies. However, they were of lower status than sons of real giant businesses, second generations of officials, or second generations of the military.
These people were not idiots and naturally understood who they have to fawn over in the future. Especially Zhou Xu. Even if it was the second generation of the military or officials, they were all competing to show their good will. After all, elections cost money. At that time if they didn’t have the support of businessmen, then what’s the use of participating.
“Zhou Xu, Zhou Xu, we are all ready.”
“Yeah, boss, as soon as Zhou Xueli comes, we can guarantee that he cannot leave.”
“Nonsense, we can guarantee that he will leave immediately after he arrives, taken away by ambulance, hahaha…”
“Yes, yes, yes, I was wrong.”
“Zhou Xu, you really are too intelligent. How did you think of this method, hahaha…”
Zhou Xu glanced at these people with cold eyes, and with an ice-cold tone, said, “No matter what you prepared, stop it immediately. Remove all these things for smashing people.”
“Ah? Why?”
“Right, after you told us yesterday, we came here at five o’clock this morning just to prepare the things you said. The wood on the second floor of the west school building was lifted up by me and Xiao Wu. We’re tired to death.”
“Zhou Xu, what happened, why do…”
The group of people were talking all at once, making Zhou Xu so upset that he raised his voice. His tone also became really severe, “I’ll say it again, get rid of it fast!”
Zhou Xu’s tone made some people get goosebumps from head to toes instantly. Somehow, they could feel a killing intent in this simple sentence said by Zhou Xu.
They did not dare make a sound and ran away without delay.
After these people fled, Zhou Xu took a long breath, as if it was only now that he could breath fresh air.
“Zhou Xu, right?”
Zhou Xu lifted his head, his line of sight met with Nie Yuantong’s. He was a little startled. After all, that person was the school principal. That’s why Zhou Xu bowed his head and said, “Principal, good morning.”
Nie Yuantong nodded and asked with a low volume, “Sorry, I was just passing by and heard your shout. What do you want them to throw away?”
Zhou Xu looked at Nie Yuantong with cold eyes. Zhou Xu wondered if the principal wanted to know something or it was simply gossip?
Zhou Xu’s gaze was not good. Nie Yuantong could obviously feel it, that’s why he raised both hands and said, “Little classmate, spare my life, I was just casually asking. If you don’t want to say it, I will also not do anything to you, at most I would only ask you to write a thousand word report.”
Inclining his head to take a look at Nie Yuantong, Zhou Xu discovered that this person’s appearance was not too bad. He had a kind of western celebrity feeling. His eyes were deep, as if there was deep water inside. The bridge of his nose was high, his skin was even whiter than Zhou Xu’s. When he smiled, the right corner of his mouth was higher than the left one, which was precisely why his whole body carried an evil aura.
This kind of evil aura was different from one that originates from the heart. Zhou Xu felt that the evil aura emitted from Nie Yuantong originated from a kind of self-confidence.
In reality, Zhou Xu was fond of this kind of person, in the condition that that person did not stick to him.
“Classmate, now you can say it. What are you going to throw away?”
Looking at Nie Yuantong, Zhou Xu smiled faintly and said, “I won’t tell you.”
After talking, Zhou Xu turned to leave. He had to check whether that group of people really got rid of the trap intended for Zhou Xueli.
He first went to inspect the sports storage room. Everything was normal. He then went to the west school building. He found that the log of wood they had talked about had been put away. Only then did he go back to his classroom.
On the way back to the classroom, Zhou Xu once again ran into the principal that was strolling around.
At the moment Zhou Xu saw the principal not far away, he turned around to take another path. In the end, Nie Yuantong shouted from there, “Hey, that classmate over there, yes, Zhou Xu, come here.”
Zhou Xu’s name was famous in this school. That’s why after the principal shouted Zhou Xu’s name, all the students nearby looked at him.
With no other option, Zhou Xu could only walk to Nie Yuantong.
Nie Yuantong smiled and said, “Classmate, come and accompany me to watch a show.”
Afterwards, Zhou Xu was pulled by Nie Yuantong to a bench next to the wisteria trellis.
The wisterias were in full bloom and were densely packed. The people inside the wisteria trellis couldn’t see the bench outside and naturally couldn’t see the two people sitting on it.
In this way, Zhou Xu had been pulled by the principal, listened to other people’s confession and then watched the great principal personally “catch a couple in the act”.
Zhou Xu was really speechless and said, “Principal, it’s time for class to start.”
“Well that’s fine, treat me to lunch today at the Italian restaurant not far from the gate. I love to eat their steak.”
On one hand Zhou Xu still wanted to refuse, on the other hand Nie Yuantong smiled faintly, patted Zhou Xu’s shoulder and said, “Then it’s decided, otherwise tonight I’ll go eat dinner at your home. In any case, your dad likes me a lot and will not refuse.”
Zhou Xu looked at Nie Yuantong’s back as he left. He suddenly felt that this back was a little familiar, similar to the back of the shadow from the vast space. The height and the build were about the same.
Zhou Xu covered his mouth and smiled faintly. It was very interesting this time. Could it be that his lover was the principal?
Zhou Xu was a freshman. The freshmen of this school were not separated into departments. In the second year, they could choose a major according to their preferences.
Zhou Xu and Zhou Xueli were in class 7. The freshmen of the school all had their own desk, not really different from high school.
After returning to the classroom, Zhou Xu sat in the seat near the window.
The scenery outside the windows was pretty good. It was already April, so there were wisteria flowers everywhere. Their hanging form was similar to shy young ladies, very charming. All types of tulips were also blooming, with various colors, very colorful. Seen from Zhou Xu’s seat, the scenery really made people feel good.
The temperature was suitable. The sun shone on Zhou Xu, making him feel lazy and a little bit sleepy. While dazed, someone stood in front of him.
Zhou Xu lifted his head and saw that the person was not a stranger, but Zhou Xueli.
Sitting straight, Zhou Xu fake smiled, waiting to see what he wanted. In the end, Zhou Xueli suddenly shoved Zhou Xu’s desk.
Zhou Xu was sitting behind the desk. Even though he reacted instantly, his feet were still hit by the desk.
Zhou Xu clenched his teeth as a stab of pain shot through him.
Zhou Xueli stepped in front of Zhou Xu again. He gritted his teeth and said, “Zhou Xu, I will not let you bully me in the future. Also, I don’t care if you pick on me, but if you dare to hurt Wen Chan, I will absolutely not forgive you !”
Because it was too painful, Zhou Xu had tears in his eyes. But after hearing what Zhou Xueli said, he unexpectedly smiled as Zhou Xueli immediately began to protect the female lead.
Leaning against the window, Zhou Xu moved his foot that had been hit. He then lifted his head and replied with a smile, “Then let’s see which one of us is the most skilled.”
“You… don’t think that I don’t know. When I went back to the classroom with Wen Chan, I saw you with the principal. Zhou Xu, you’re really despicable. You even told the principal about this kind of thing. Is there any meaning?”
Zhou Xu continued to massage his foot and thought to himself, Zhou Xueli thought that it was him that pulled the principal to eavesdrop. But in reality, it was obviously the principal who pulled him to eavesdrop. This was really suffering injustice with no place to complain.
“There is, I can see you write a report.” Zhou Xu answered.
“Zhou Xu, wait and see.”
“Okay.”
Everybody sat down when the professor came in. Just before the professor was about to open his mouth to talk, Zhou Xu raised his hand.
The professor nodded, indicating that Zhou Xu could talk. Zhou Xu stood up and said while indicating his left foot, “Professor, my foot has been hurt, I need to go to the infirmary.”
“How did you hurt it?”
The woman seated in front of Zhou Xu replied, “It was smashed by Zhou Xueli.”
This teacher had been a teacher for a long time, what he disliked the most was the action of students harming each other. That’s why the teacher asked, “What did he use to smash it?”
“He flipped over my desk. I didn’t escape in time, the corner of the desk smashed my toe. I think there’s a possibility that it injured my bone, my toe hurts a lot.”
Zhou Xu said, while motioning to the few lackeys following him, they stood up and said, “Teacher, it’s true. We all saw that it was Zhou Xueli who intentionally hurt Zhou Xu.”
“Teacher, I also saw it. At that time, Zhou Xu was sitting near the window looking at the scenery. Zhou Xueli went there and toppled Zhou Xu’s desk without saying a word. Moreover, he refused to apologize and even threatened Zhou Xu.
At that moment, the girl sitting in front stood up and said softly, “Teacher, it was Zhou Xueli who hurt Zhou Xu, I can testify.”
T/N : So ~ I’ll keep the original wordings for “di di” etc. and just add a note. Also, I don’t have the rights to edit the novel TOC page, so I can’t add the new arc separation. I contacted Takoyan but I have no answer at the moment.
