"He was clearly stuck in the mud himself, yet he was still concerned about his fellow students."
The director spoke while staring at the principal.
The principal understood at once. "Director, I'll hold a commendation ceremony tomorrow to praise Xu Yi. I'll also give him a ten-thousand-yuan bonus."
The director said nothing, merely nodding repeatedly.
"Blocking my path to wealth is the same as killing my parents. I'm giving you one last chance. Are you leaving or not?" the boss shouted harshly.
"Then I'll beat your father and mother to death today." A cold glint flashed through Xu Yi's eyes.

"You're asking to die! Get him and teach him a lesson."
The lackeys behind the boss immediately surrounded Xu Yi.
"What? You dare hit someone in broad daylight?"
"Heh~ He's just a poor student. So what if we hit him? Is someone actually going to stand up for you?" the boss sneered disdainfully.
"Do it!"
The school leaders in the back could no longer sit still and hurriedly shouted, "Security! Where's security?"
"They're being outrageous! They even dare to hit a student."
"Forget it. Let's handle this ourselves!"
The principal, though old, was still vigorous and charged ahead.
They could hit him, but they absolutely couldn't touch Xu Yi.
But before he had run very far, he froze. Several lackeys had been dealt with by Xu Yi in less than a minute.
They lay on the ground, rolling back and forth in agony.

Xu Yi's eyes lit up. These Emotion Points came quickly.
If only he had known, he would have hit them a few more times.
The livestream chat instantly exploded.
Holy crap, Xu Yi's fighting ability is that strong?
I practice martial arts too. I saw traces of Bajiquan and Xing Yi Quan in there just now.
He's incredibly good at fighting. If he entered a competition, he'd definitely win a prize.
"You... don't come any closer. The school forbids fighting." The boss backed away repeatedly in fright.
Xu Yi advanced step by step. "Hmm... Then I can only use the Dog Beating Staff Technique."

Bang~
The boss flew two meters and lay on the ground, wailing nonstop.
Xu Yi looked down at him from above, his foot pressing on the boss's palm. "Are you sure you want to mess with this shop window?"
The school leaders walked over with grim expressions. Seeing them as though they were saviors, the boss shouted, "Principal, save us!"
"This student has ignored the school rules, used violence in public, and assaulted us. Expel him immediately."
Smack~
The principal couldn't hold himself back and slapped him across the face.
"Shut up! I saw everything just now."
You useless coward. You almost got me killed.
The boss covered his face, looking utterly confused after being slapped.
"Principal, it's me. He's just a poor student. Have you forgotten that I treated you to a meal at the beginning of the year..."
"Shut up!"
The principal's veins bulged, and he slapped him again.
The usually refined principal had done something that completely destroyed his image today.
It was obvious how furious he was.
"So what if he's a poor student? Did he eat your rice? You're not opening this supermarket anymore either! The school will terminate its contract with you."
The supermarket boss wore an incredulous expression. Even if he was slow on the uptake, he knew that he had kicked an iron plate.
This student definitely wasn't an ordinary person!
To prevent any further complications, the principal drafted a contract termination agreement on the spot.
"Sign it quickly. I'll leave you with at least a little dignity."
Complex emotions flickered in the boss's eyes. He then looked at Xu Yi. "Little student, could you persuade the principal to spare me this once? I know I was wrong.
"Actually, I was forced to do all this. I have a son to support, and he attends Huaqing University."
As he said this, the boss puffed out his chest proudly.
"He attends Huaqing?"
Everyone exchanged glances, clearly surprised.
Huaqing was one of Great Xia's top universities.
"You're probably preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, right? As long as you stop pursuing this matter, I can have my son tutor you."
Everyone looked at Xu Yi. Uncle Yu slowly spoke. "Xu Yi, how you want to handle this is entirely up to you."
Xu Yi lowered his head, his expression dejected.
"Fine, then. I won't pursue it."
The boss's face lit up. At least you know what's good for you.
"After all, once you're all gone, the boss will retaliate against me without end. I'm just a student—how could I possibly fight him? Boss, could you go a little easier on me when you retaliate in the future?"

You son of a...
The boss was just about to curse, but he noticed several furious gazes around him.
Yu Shu spoke coldly. "I failed to consider things carefully just now. This contract must be terminated today."
The principal also wore a grim expression. "What are you waiting for? Sign it already."
"All right, all right, all right..."
The boss was furious enough to tremble. He had seen students with explosive tempers, and he had seen students who could fight.
But it was his first time seeing someone who could beat a green-tea schemer.
Then he spread both hands and fell backward. "Sorry, I can't sign this.
"Because I'm only the acting store manager. The supermarket's real owner is a manager from the Furun Group. If you have the ability, go find him and terminate the contract."
The principal took the employment contract the boss handed over and discovered that it was indeed as he had said.
The director frowned deeply as he looked at the principal. "Will this matter be easy to resolve?"
The principal shook his head. "It'll be difficult. Furun Group is a leading enterprise in this city, with interests in all sorts of industries. They've invested in this university as well.
"Two of the teaching buildings were even built with their donations."
Uncle Yu narrowed his eyes. "Our bureau has nothing to do with Furun Group. Xiao Li, contact this manager for me. I'll have a good talk with him."
"Director... he said he's in a meeting and doesn't have time to take the call."
"What?"
The director immediately felt humiliated and laughed coldly in anger. "Fine, fine, no time.
"If he doesn't have time today, then he won't have time again in the future."
The secretary respectfully nodded beside him. "But Director, our bureau currently has several collaborations with Furun Group. Our achievements this year all depend on..."
The director: "..."
"Hmph~"
The boss looked at everyone smugly, then pushed over a settlement agreement.
"Little student, you've seen our Stone Particles too. We can let the matter of you hitting us pass without further mention. From now on, we can stay out of each other's way.
"But on the condition that you sign this settlement agreement and raise the price of the instant noodles to ten yuan."
"Uncle Yu..."
Uncle Yu lowered his head and shifted his eyes, not daring to look at Xu Yi.
The principal beside him also flushed bright red and remained silent.
At this moment, Uncle Yu was under immense pressure. His superiors had handed this matter to him to resolve personally.
He had originally intended to atone by accomplishing something worthwhile. If he botched this as well,
whether he could retire peacefully would become a problem.
"If it really won't work... then we'll have to ask someone higher up to intervene." Uncle Yu muttered to himself.
Seeing the silent crowd, Xu Yi was speechless too.
I thought they were so impressive.
"System, do I have enough Emotion Points to edit a background once?"
Five hundred short.
"That's easy enough."
Xu Yi's eyes shifted. He immediately spoke in a helpless yet carefree tone. "It's fine, Uncle Yu. You've already helped me a lot.
"At least you let me eat a bowl of Longevity Noodles. I'm already very satisfied."

"Uncle Yu, even if I can't sell instant noodles anymore, I can collect wastepaper boxes, plastic bottles, and things like that. I'll definitely be able to support myself."
Guilt Points +200
Uncle Yu's old face turned as red as a monkey's backside. He nearly buried his head beneath the table.
The corner of Xu Yi's mouth curled upward as he turned to the principal.
"Principal, I have to thank you too. I applied for financial aid for three years but never received any. Yet with just one word from you, I got it this year."
Guilt Points +100
"Student Xu, you... stop talking."
"Principal, thank you for giving me free rice and soup. Otherwise, I'd still be starving right now."
Guilt Points +100 Guilt Points +100
Really, stop talking... Have some shame!
At this moment, the principal wished he could find a crack in the ground to hide in.
Ding! Congratulations, host. You have accumulated enough Emotion Points to edit a background once.
