After Lawyer An left.
Tang Bingyun got down to business with Wang Haoran.
"What exactly did you come to see me about?"
"Let me show you something first." As Wang Haoran spoke, he took out the photos he had prepared long ago.
The photos were close-ups of Fan Jian, Fan Tong, and Qin Shousheng after they had been beaten black and blue.
"Who are they? How did they get beaten up so badly?" Tang Bingyun was stunned by the pigheaded faces in the photos.
"They're my classmates. Chu Bai did this to them."
"That buzz-cut kid from today?"
"Yes. That guy has serious violent tendencies!"
Tang Bingyun strongly agreed with that.
Earlier, the thief had already been tied up by the security guards and was completely incapable of resisting, yet Chu Bai had rushed over and given him a brutal beating.
Ordinary people simply would not do something like that.
"He beat people up this badly, and the school didn't expel him?"
"He only had to pay thirty thousand yuan."
"He beat people up like this and only had to pay thirty thousand? That punishment is way too light." Tang Bingyun shook her head, then quickly realized something.
"The old principal protected him?"
Wang Haoran nodded. Then, without beating around the bush, he said, "I came to see you because I want you to use your authority as a school board member to transfer the old principal to another position. Without the old principal shielding him, Chu Bai won't be so arrogant in the future."
"Alright." Tang Bingyun agreed directly without any nonsense.
The old principal was already advanced in years and had not been handling much of Shui Ze High School's affairs.
Transferring him to another position would not have much of an impact on Shui Ze High School.
Besides, since Wang Haoran had asked, how could she refuse?
Furthermore, she also felt that the old principal had indeed been too biased toward Chu Bai and had acted unfairly.
"I'll transfer the money for the jade to you as soon as possible." Tang Bingyun asked Wang Haoran for his card number.
"I'm not in a hurry about that."
Wang Haoran checked the time.
"Aunt Tang, bye. Let's keep in touch when we have time."
Hearing that form of address again, Tang Bingyun's pretty face twitched, but she did not know what to say. She could only watch Wang Haoran get into the Cullinan and leave.
She stood there in a daze for a while until her phone rang and startled her back to her senses.
It was Zhen Li.
"Bingyun, how did things go between you and my son?"
"I already agreed to help him."
"Thank you. I'll treat you to a beauty salon session sometime." Zhen Li thought Tang Bingyun had agreed to Wang Haoran's request for her sake.
"Sure!" Tang Bingyun immediately agreed, then, as if possessed, said, "Sister Zhen Li, you're actually from the same generation as my parents. Technically, I should be calling you Aunt Zhen. I'll call you Aunt Zhen from now on."
Zhen Li did not have a good temper. The moment she heard that, she became displeased.
"Tang Bingyun, what do you mean? How have I offended you? Are you calling me old in such a roundabout way? Don't think that just because you helped my son, I have to put up with your attitude.
"I'll repay this favor. Our families have business dealings anyway, so I'll give you a ten-million-yuan discount. Then we'll be even!"
"Sister Zhen Li, I was joking just now. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Tang Bingyun hurriedly apologized.
They chatted for quite a while afterward before Zhen Li finally calmed down.
After hanging up, Tang Bingyun could not help sighing. It seemed that lowering the generational gap really was not easy.
On the way to school, Wang Haoran had the driver take him there.
With nothing better to do, Wang Haoran opened his status panel and took a look.
Host: Wang Haoran Combat Power: 289 Charm Value: 268 Villain Halo: 319 Villain Points: 1700 Skills: Grandmaster Calligraphy and Painting Imitation Skill, Grandmaster Practical Wing Chun, God-level Singing Skill, Movie Emperor Acting Skill, X-ray Vision
He already had 1,700 Villain Points? Wang Haoran entered the System Shop and found the Low-Grade Beauty Pill.
Low-Grade Beauty Pill: 1,100 Villain Points (Note: After consumption, preserves one's youthful appearance for thirty years.) Redeem?
"Yes!"
Wang Haoran gave the system the command.
After redeeming it, Wang Haoran impatiently swallowed the Low-Grade Beauty Pill.
The pill tasted sweet when it entered his mouth.
After eating it, Wang Haoran did not feel any obvious changes in his body.
According to the description of the Low-Grade Beauty Pill, its effects would only become apparent after a long time.
Wang Haoran was eighteen now. When he reached forty-eight, he would still look like an eighteen-year-old boy.
Only after forty-eight would he begin to age slowly, but that aging would start from the point of eighteen years old.
In other words, Wang Haoran had thirty more years of youth than ordinary people.
He had seven hundred Villain Points left, enough for another lottery draw.
Last time, he had drawn the same X-ray Vision as Chu Bai. What would he get this time?
Wang Haoran began to look forward to it.
Unfortunately, Host did not receive any reward.
Damn!
Evening Self-Study.
Wang Haoran opened his desk and found a cup of milk tea inside.
It was most likely from Xu Muyan.
Wang Haoran took a sip.
Sweet.
Really sweet.
Eating too many sweets made it easy to gain weight.
However, Wang Haoran did not need to worry at all. The Youth Preservation Pill did not just preserve one's looks; it could also maintain one's figure.
While drinking his milk tea, Wang Haoran casually glanced in Xu Muyan's direction.
He could only see Xu Muyan's profile.
But he could clearly tell that she seemed somewhat absent-minded, with hardly any attention on her studies.
During the break.
Wang Haoran sent a message and called Wen Jing out to talk.
On a small path through the campus flower garden.
Some students strolled around in twos and threes. Some were classmates, while others were couples in love.
The lighting here was dim, the surroundings tranquil, and the air was filled with floral fragrance.
It was especially romantic.
After Evening Self-Study, those couples loved coming here most.
Wen Jing was delighted when Wang Haoran called her out.
"Xu Muyan seems unhappy. What happened to her?" Wang Haoran asked.
Wen Jing felt a little disappointed. She had thought Wang Haoran had called her out for a secret date.
Turns out she had overthought things.
"This evening, she ran into her father while buying milk tea outside. Her father told her to stay away from you. Yan Yan found it baffling, so they argued for a few sentences."
As Xu Muyan's bestie and deskmate, Wen Jing was someone Xu Muyan shared everything with.
"I've never even met her father. He seems pretty hostile toward me."
"Maybe her father doesn't want Yan Yan dating, so that's why he did this."
"No." Wang Haoran directly rejected that conclusion.
Last time, when Chu Bai wanted to make a bet with Xu Muyan that if he ranked in the top ten, Xu Muyan would become his girlfriend,
Father Xu had even agreed on Xu Muyan's behalf.
From that, it was clear that Father Xu should be an open-minded man who would not interfere too much with his daughter dating.
He approved of Chu Bai but targeted me? Could Xu Muyan's father also be a supporting character in the protagonist's camp? Wang Haoran felt that was highly likely.
"You care so much about Yan Yan. Are you trying to pursue her?" Wen Jing could not help asking.
"Yes." Wang Haoran nodded.
Xu Muyan was one of the Female Leads. If he did not pursue her, the protagonist would.
If the protagonist got her, the Protagonist Halo would increase accordingly, while his own Villain Halo would decrease.
By then, he would not be far from kicking the bucket.
Hearing Wang Haoran's answer, Wen Jing immediately felt sour inside.
She had actually figured it out long ago, but she had not expected Wang Haoran to admit it so readily.
