Principal: Stop Talking, Have Some Dignity

"He's in deep trouble himself, yet he's still worried about other students."

The Director said, staring at the Principal.

The Principal understood immediately. "Director, I'll hold a commendation ceremony tomorrow to praise Xu Yi. And I'll give him a ten-thousand-yuan reward."

The Director didn't speak, only nodding repeatedly.

"Blocking my path to wealth is like killing my parents. I'll give you one last chance, are you leaving or not?" the boss shouted sternly.

"Then I'll kill your parents today," Xu Yi's eyes flashed with cold light.

[Anger Value +50]

"You're asking for death! Go, teach him a lesson."

The boss's lackeys immediately surrounded Xu Yi.

"What? You dare to lay hands on someone?"

"Heh~ Just a poor student, it's fine if he gets beaten. Who's going to stand up for him?" the boss sneered dismissively.

"Attack!"

The school leaders behind them couldn't sit still any longer and hurriedly shouted, "Security! Where's security?"

"This is too arrogant, daring to beat a student."

"Forget it, let's go ourselves!"

The Principal, still hale and hearty, took the lead.

Even if they beat him, they couldn't touch Xu Yi.

But after only a few steps, he froze. He saw that Xu Yi had dealt with several lackeys in less than a minute.

They lay on the ground, writhing in pain.

Xu Yi's eyes lit up. This emotion value was coming in fast.

He should have hit them a few more times.

The live stream chat exploded instantly.

[Holy crap, Xu Yi's combat power is this high?]

[I also practice martial arts, and I saw hints of Baji and Xingyi Quan just now.]

[He can fight so well, if he participated in a competition, he'd definitely win a prize.]

"You... you don't come any closer. The school prohibits fighting." The boss retreated repeatedly, terrified.

Xu Yi approached step by step. "Hmm... then I'll have to use the Dog Beating Staff Technique."

[Negative Emotion Value +50]

Bang~

The boss flew back two meters and lay on the ground, groaning incessantly.

Xu Yi looked down at him from above, his foot stepping on the boss's hand. "Are you sure you want to mess with this shop?"

The school leaders walked over with grim expressions. The boss, seeing them like saviors, shouted, "Principal, save us quickly!"

"This student is ignoring school rules, using violence in public, and beating us. Expel him quickly."

Slap~

The Principal couldn't hold back and slapped the boss across the face.

"Shut up! I saw everything just now."

You damn scoundrel almost got me killed.

The boss covered his face, completely bewildered by the slap.

"Principal, it's me. He's just a poor student. Don't you remember I treated you to a meal earlier this year..."

"Shut up!"

The Principal's veins bulged, and he slapped him again.

He, who had always been refined and elegant, did something that ruined his image today.

One could imagine how furious he was.

"So what if he's a poor student? Is he eating your rice? You're not opening this supermarket anymore! The school will terminate its contract with you."

The supermarket boss's expression was one of disbelief. Even if he were slower, he knew he had kicked an iron plate.

This student is definitely not ordinary!

To avoid further complications, the Principal immediately drafted a termination contract on the spot.

"Sign it quickly. This is the last bit of dignity I can offer you."

The boss's eyes flickered with complex emotions. He then looked at Xu Yi, "Young man, can you persuade the Principal to let me off this time? I know I was wrong.

Honestly, I was forced to do all this. I have a son to support, and he's studying at Huaqing."

As he said this, the boss's chest puffed out proudly.

"At Huaqing?"

Everyone exchanged glances, surprised.

Huaqing was a top university in Great Xia.

"Young man, you're probably preparing for postgraduate exams, right? As long as you drop this, I can have my son tutor you."

Everyone looked at Xu Yi. Yu Shu slowly said, "Xu Yi, how you want to handle this is entirely up to you."

Xu Yi lowered his head, looking dejected.

"Alright then, I won't pursue it."

The boss's face lit up with joy. So, you know what's good for you.

"After all, once you all leave, the boss will retaliate endlessly. As a student, how can I possibly fight him? Boss, can you go easy on me when you get your revenge later?"

[Anger Value +100]

[Anger Value +100]

[Confused Value +100]

You…

The boss was about to curse, but he noticed several angry stares around him.

Yu Shu said coldly, "I was too lenient just now. This contract must be terminated today."

The Principal also had a grim expression. "What are you waiting for? Sign the damn thing!"

"Fine, fine, fine..."

The boss trembled with suppressed rage. He had met hot-tempered students before, and students who could fight too.

But this was the first time he had encountered someone who could beat a "green tea bitch."

He then let his hands go limp and leaned back, "Sorry, I can't sign this.

I'm just the acting store manager. The real owner of the supermarket is the manager from Furun Group. If you have the guts, go terminate the contract with him."

The Principal took the work contract the boss handed over and found that it was indeed as he said.

The Director frowned deeply and looked at the Principal, "Will this be easy to resolve?"

The Principal shook his head, "It's a bit difficult. Furun Group is a leading enterprise in this city, involved in all sorts of industries. Our university also receives investment from them.

In fact, they donated to build two of our teaching buildings."

Yu Shu 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 says he's in a meeting and can't take calls right now."

"What?"

The Director felt his face lose all color. He sneered in anger, "Fine, fine, fine. No time.

If he has no time today, then he won't have any time in the future either."

The secretary respectfully nodded beside him. "But Director, the bureau currently has several ongoing collaborations with Furun Group. Our performance reviews for this year..."

Director: "..."

"Hmph~"

The boss looked at everyone triumphantly and then pushed over a settlement agreement.

"Young man, you've seen the damage you've done. We can let the matter of you beating us slide. We can also go our separate ways from now on.

But the condition is that you need to sign this settlement agreement and raise the price of instant noodles to ten yuan."

"Uncle Yu..."

Yu Shu lowered his head, his eyes darting away, not daring to look at Xu Yi.

The Principal beside him also flushed with embarrassment and remained silent.

Yu Shu was under immense pressure. The higher-ups had assigned him to resolve this matter personally.

He had already been hoping to redeem himself, but if he messed this up...

Whether he could retire peacefully was even in question.

"If all else fails... I'll have to ask someone from higher up to step in," Yu Shu muttered to himself.

Seeing everyone's silence, Xu Yi couldn't help but feel speechless.

I thought they were supposed to be so impressive.

"System, is the emotion value enough to edit the background once?"

[Still short by five hundred.]

"That's easy then."

Xu Yi's eyes darted around, and he immediately adopted a tone of helplessness mixed with carefree abandon, "It's okay, Uncle Yu, you've already helped me enough.

At least you let me eat Longevity Noodles. I'm already very satisfied."

[Guilt Emotion Value +100]

"Uncle Yu, even if you don't sell instant noodles anymore, I can still pick up scrap cardboard boxes, plastic bottles, and such. I can definitely support myself."

[Guilt Emotion Value +200]

Uncle Yu's old face turned as red as a monkey's backside, he was so embarrassed he almost buried his head under the table.

Xu Yi's lips curved upwards, and then he looked towards the Principal.

"Principal, I want to thank you too. I applied for three years but never received a scholarship, yet your words got me one this year."

[Guilt Emotion Value +100]

"Student Xu, you... you don't have to say more."

The Principal, thank you for the free rice and soup. Otherwise, I'd still be starving right now."

[Guilt Value +100]

[Guilt Value +100]

Seriously, stop talking... Have some dignity!

The Principal wished he could find a hole to crawl into at that moment.

[Beep, congratulations Host, you have met the emotion value requirement and can edit the background once.]
