Chapter 497: Hypocrisy Alert 2

The things that happened in the hall soon spread around No.1 High School. Someone even made a big fuss out of it and posted it on No.1 High Schools forum.

Since Hu Lei was an honored guest that No.1 High School invited from the capital, even year-one and year-two students realized the gravity of the situation, let alone the third-year students.

For a moment, plenty of people swarmed into the forum as they all wanted to know the whole story.

Then, a certain person shed some light on the situation.

[I dont know why the owner of this post didnt mention why Professor Hu is so angry. According to what I know, its Fu Zhi who disrespected Professor Hu. Not only did she sleep during the cla.s.s, but she also criticized Hu Leis mechanical heart design when he asked her to answer some questions on the blackboard. Besides, she also said that Hu Lei is not fit to become a teacher. If I were Hu Lei, I would have stormed away as well.]

Everyone began to express their opinion and dissatisfaction after they learned about the whole story.

[Fu Zhi criticized Hu Leis mechanical heart design? What is this? Is this some kind of joke?]

[Oh my good lord, how can she be so disrespectful? Does she not know how hard its for our school to invite Hu Lei to teach us?]

[I knew Fu Zhi has been someone with bad manners, but I didnt know she would dare to openly criticize and talk back to Professor Hu!]

[Thats why I said the school shouldnt let Cla.s.s 21 attend the extra cla.s.ses! If they didnt join the cla.s.s, something like this would never have happened!]

[But isnt Professor He Min the one who picked Cla.s.s 21 to attend the extra cla.s.ses, so what the h.e.l.l are you guys talking about?]

[Fu Zhi has done something and injured the image of our school, so of course we have to say something about it. Besides, it shouldve been Cla.s.s 1 and Cla.s.s 2 to attend the extra cla.s.ses. I still cannot understand why Professor He Min picked Cla.s.s 21 instead. In my opinion, we all should go to Professor He tomorrow and ask why he picked Cla.s.s 21.]

In just about 10 minutes, there were more than a hundred comments below the post. Since the forum of No.1 High School was opened to the public, the representatives from Hang Yuan also learned about the matter as well.

They all let out a sigh of relief and said, Thank G.o.d Fu Zhi has ruined everything again. Otherwise, we wont be able to explain to Ms. Ouyang.

I dont think there will be any improvement in their results even if they attended the extra cla.s.ses. However, Im really surprised how No.1 High School managed to get in touch with Professor He Min and his team, given that No.1 High School is a small school in a small town.

Have you forgotten that the princ.i.p.al of No.1 High School is Ouyang Feng? His status is higher than Ms. Ouyang in the Ouyang Family, so Im pretty certain hes the one who invited them.

So, a boy added as he looked at Wu Zhiheng, Young Master Wu, can you talk to Ms. Ouyang about this matter? Since Professor Hu is not willing to continue his lesson with No.1 High School anymore, can you ask her to talk to him and have him teach us?

There was an old saying that went something like everything has two sides. Ouyang Ya kept asking them to run errands for her, so it went without saying that they felt she should do something back for them as well.

Before this, Wu Zhiheng did not understand why Professor He and his team chose to come to No.1 High School, but after his friend mentioned Ouyang Feng, he understood everything.

Hang Yuan had been in pretty bad shape recently, so Wu Zhiheng figured that he had to do something to keep this group of students in their school.

He put the book about stone gambling down and nodded. Okay. I will talk to Ms. Ouyang tonight. Dont worry, Hang Yuan put great emphasis on student welfare. Everything that No.1 High School has, we will give it to you as well.

In the meantime, outside of the hall.

When Director Liu saw Hu Lei storm out of the hall, he wanted to stop him and explain to him, but Hu Lei did not give him the chance. In the end, he turned around and shouted, Fu Zhi! Look what the h.e.l.l have you done! Get out of the hall right now!

Truth be told, Fu Zhi did not expect that Hu Lei would behave like a spoiled brat who would complain about her to her mother for bullying him. That said, she did not feel her comment about him was wrong. He was the worst teacher she had ever seen. The things he taught were unrelated to their learning syllabus, and he was just basically wasting their time. If he apologized after she pointed out his mistakes, she would let him off the hook and they could continue the lesson. However, unfortunately, Hu Lei refused to listen to her. He was unwilling to change and he insisted that he was right.

Therefore, Fu Zhi felt it was good for Hu Lei to go as well.

However, Director Liu did not know about it. He glared at Fu Zhi angrily, and just when he was about to say something, Fu Zhi interrupted, Director Liu, Ye Jiu and I have something to do on the day after tomorrow, so well not be coming to school next week.

Director Liu was stunned. He was going to reprimand Fu Zhi for her bad behavior, and now Fu Zhi told him that she was not coming to school all next week?

Why cant she just give me a break? Director Liu thought inwardly. He took a deep breath, and he was caught in a dilemma. He did not know he should ask why Ye Jiu and her were not coming to school next week, or he should reprimand Fu Zhi for chasing Hu Lei away.

After a short while, Director Liu rubbed his face in an attempt to calm himself down but to no avail. His face was contorted in rage and the corner of his lips quivered nonstop.

It was only then Fu Zhi realized something was wrong with him. She frowned and said matter-of-factly, Director Liu, are you getting a stroke now?

She paused for a moment before continuing, This is a serious illness. You should probably take a leave today and have yourself checked at the hospital.

The quivering of the corner of Director Lius lips grew even more intense.

I can live for another 500 years if you stop giving me so many troubles!

Xiao Liu did not want to talk so much to Fu Zhi. He ordered. You have to apologize to Hu Lei right now. I dont care what you do, you have to bring him back.

Hearing his words, Ye Jiu, who was standing silently beside Fu Zhi, lifted his head and asked with his brows raised, You dont know about it, Xiao Liu?

Director Lius eyelid twitched and he said, I dont know and I dont want to know about it.

Ye Jiu paid him no mind and continued, For Hu Lei, a late devotion worths even lesser than a gra.s.s on the roadside.

Director Liu did not know what he should reply. He just felt that Ye Jiu should stop reading so many novels.

After Hu Lei, it was Qian Mans turn to hold the cla.s.s.

He Min was taking a rest in the hotel.

After Hu Lei had come out of the hall, he went straight to the princ.i.p.als office.

The veins on Ouyang Fengs forehead bulged when he saw Hu Lei.

Hu Lei coming to No.1 High School was beneficial to both No.1 High School and the students. After all, Ouyang Feng could use this to promote No.1 High School to get more enrollment next year. Besides, considering his influence in the research industry, Ouyang Ya reckoned that he should show some respect to him.

Although he knew what he came for, he still asked, Whats the problem, Professor Hu? Theres still some time left and youve already finished your cla.s.s?

Hu Lei smacked the textbook on the table and snarled, Whats the problem? That should be my question! Whats the problem with your students, huh? Fu Zhi disrespected me, and not only did the rest of the students stop her, but they also joined in forces with her and talked back at me! Is this how your students respect their teachers, Mr. Ouyang?

Ouyang Feng pressed his lips thin and frowned. Its very common for different people to have different opinions on a certain subject. Im sure you are well aware of this, so theres no need to get so hot and bothered, Professor He. Besides, Fu Zhi is just a kid, and kids nowadays are like this, so you dont have to take it to heart.

I can forgive her for saying that my design is incomplete, but she has been sleeping in my cla.s.s and she still has the audacity to tell me that Im not doing my job properly! Ive never seen a student like her before. Let me be straight with you, Mr. Ouyang, I promised Professor He that I will give a total of 7 cla.s.ses to your students, but if Fu Zhi doesnt apologize to me, I will not go back and continue the lesson!

Ouyang Feng pinched at the center of his eyebrows and said, So how about this? Ill call her over and you can talk to her again to get her to apologize to you?

Im not talking to her! Hu Lei rejected, She wont listen to me! You go and tell her yourself. I just want a result!

Ouyang Feng did not know what to say.

Do you think she will listen to me?

Ouyang Feng wanted to take her in as his disciple. What if she got angry with him if he sided with Hu Lei and she refused to become his disciple? Ouyang Feng would not allow something like that to happen.

Therefore, he sent a text message to Qian Man before making a call to Director Liu and asking him to bring Fu Zhi over to his office.

Hu Lei then waited for Fu Zhi in the office.

In the meantime, Director Lius face was as dark as the bottom of the pot after he hung up the call.

Fu Zhi was not going to admit her mistake and Fu Zhi was definitely not going to apologize to Hu Lei.

If thats what he wanted, we shouldnt force him. Just tell him to go back to the capital and I will take over his cla.s.s.

Have you not realized the gravity of the situation yet? Director Liu said, Hu Lei is petty-minded. What if he brings Professor He and the others away as well? What if they get angry at No.1 High School and attack us when they get back to the capital? If that happens, you will become the sinner of No.1 High School!

Director Liu deliberately made Hu Lei look like a petty-minded man. Well, in fact, Hu Lei was indeed a petty-minded man. After Ouyang Feng made the call, he also sent a text message to Qian Man.

Qian Man was the only one who came to No.1 High School today, so he wanted to get him to his side to show everyone and Fu Zhi that he was not an outcast.

When Qian Man received the text message, he was dumbfounded at first, and then he flew into a rage. As he stormed towards the princ.i.p.als office, he replied to Hu Lei, [Sit there and wait for me!]

When Hu Lei saw his message, his face softened a bit and he replied, [Dont worry. Although they have more people, it doesnt mean that were going to lose. After you come, youre going to help me argue with Fu Zhi!]

The bell rang and it was recess. When Fu Zhi and Director Liu were on their way to the princ.i.p.als office, they pa.s.sed by Cla.s.s 1.

The students in Cla.s.s 1 were still discussing the post on the forum. When they saw Fu Zhi and Director Liu, someone clicked his tongue and said, I just saw Hu Lei go to the princ.i.p.als office, so is Fu Zhi going to apologize to him now?

Duh. Do you even need to ask? Professor Hu has already said that he will not continue the cla.s.s, so its too late for Fu Zhi to apologize now!

She deserves that, but what if Professor Hu and his friends refuse to give us any extra cla.s.ses anymore because of Fu Zhi?

For a moment, everyones faces turned grim.

The atmosphere in the office was tense by the time Qian Man arrived.

Hu Lei was smart. He would never go up against Fu Zhi alone. Qian Man heaved out a sigh of relief when he saw no one was injured in the office.

Luckily, she hasnt beaten anyone yet.

When Hu Lei saw Qian Man, his eyes glowed and he rose to his feet. Over here, Professor Qian. I need your input. Perhaps you can also tell Professor He later as well. I cannot teach a student like Fu Zhi. If you guys want me to continue the cla.s.s, you have to kick Fu Zhi out of the cla.s.s. If you dont want to kick Fu Zhi out of the cla.s.s, I will not continue with the lesson.

Hu Lei had made his stance very clear. Director Liu hastily said, Professor Qian, this is just a misunderstanding!

Misunderstanding? This is not a misunderstanding at all! Qian Man hissed, his expression dark and cold.

Thats right! Please get things straight, Director Liu. Im the teacher, not her. Fu Zhi colluded with her friends and gang up on me. Ive received plenty of awards for my research, yet she said I was wrong! Is she questioning the authority of the inst.i.tution that gave me the award?

Well Director Liu glanced at Fu Zhi. Fu Zhi was now writing something on a piece of paper, and Hu Lei got even angrier when Fu Zhi ignored her. We shouldnt have come to Yu City at all!

So youre free to leave, Fu Zhi replied.

See! Did you guys hear what she has just said?

Hu Lei covered his chest with his hand and said, Ive never seen such an ungrateful student like you before!

Really? Fu Zhi said matter-of-factly, So youve seen it today, and its fine. You dont have to thank me.

Im not praising you!

Hu Lei did not expect that Fu Zhi still dared to talk back to him now. He grabbed Qian Mans arm and said, Lets get out of here!

Just when Hu Lei was going to drag Qian Man away, he suddenly realized that he could not move at all.

Piqued by his curiosity, he turned his head around and looked at Qian Man, who stamped his feet firmly on the floor.

Just when he opened his mouth and was about to say something, Qian Man said, You are you and I am me. Were not friends or whatsoever!

Hu Lei was stunned.

Didnt you say that youre going to help me?

Ignoring Hu Leis quizzical gaze, Qian Man shook his hand away and walked up to Fu Zhi, Why didnt you tell me earlier that youre not feeling well today? I ran all the way here because I was worried that they would bully you.
