Canceled Cafeteria Window

The other school leaders' faces lit up with joy.

"They must be willing to talk because of the Director's influence."

"With the Director on the case, there's no problem he can't solve."

"If the Director can really resolve this, he might get promoted again."

The people around began to flatter him.

Yu Shu, though silent, greatly enjoyed the praise.

In contrast, the supermarket owners looked uneasy. After all, they were just the school's convenience store.

The manager wouldn't possibly offend a Director over a small convenience store, would he?

Not long after, the manager of Furun Group arrived, named Wang Kang.

As usual, Yu Shu and Wang Kang shook hands politely.

Then, Wang Kang got straight to the point. "Director Wang, I know about the situation. Although this supermarket is mine, the main management authority rests with them."

Yu Shu raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"The management authority isn't with me, so I can't control what they do. I'm sorry... I can't help with this matter."

As soon as he said that, the scene fell silent.

Yu Shu was almost amused to the point of laughter. The store was yours, but you're saying the management authority rests with the employees? That you have no power?

Was he trying to fool a three-year-old?

At this moment, Xu Yi suddenly spoke up. "It's okay. Even if they force me to raise prices, I won't.

He's just running a supermarket; he doesn't have the power to cancel my stall."

Wang Kang turned to look at the owner. "You can't even handle this student? You can't find someone to threaten or harass him?"

The owner gave a wry smile. "Mr. Wang, this kid is really strange. He's incredibly strong. One person beat several of us. He's a trained fighter."

Wang Kang shook his head, then stared intently at Xu Yi, his tone laced with mockery. "Let's see if I can cancel your stall."

He made a phone call.

"Do you know who I am?" Wang Kang asked.

Xu Yi shook his head. "No, but you're definitely not human."

Pfft...

[Negative Emotion Points +50]

"Hahaha, good. I hope you can still talk big later."

Before long, a man with a large belly appeared.

"Mr. Zhang, can you handle this matter?"

"Yes. And what about the cooperation between your company and mine?"

"No problem, I'll take care of it as soon as I get back."

The Principal's brow furrowed deeply. "Zhang Quan? Why is he here?"

Zhang Quan glanced at Xu Yi, then at Wang Kang. "Is this the student?"

Wang Kang nodded.

Zhang Quan smiled, then produced a document.

"Student, this is the termination contract for your school stall. Please sign it. I will pay you three times the liquidated damages afterward."

Huh?

Everyone was stunned where they stood.

Yu Shu looked at the Principal, his gaze questioning.

The Principal said weakly, "When the school was built, our cafeteria was contracted out. Although I have a say in most school matters, I have no authority over the cafeteria! Who the window is sold to, or not sold to, is entirely up to him."

Wang Kang looked smugly at Xu Yi. "Now you know who I am?"

"You really are not human."

[Negative Emotion Points +100]

"Enough nonsense, sign it quickly! I contracted this cafeteria, and I decide who rents it." Zhang Quan said impatiently.

Wang Kang snorted coldly. "Naive student, do you really think you can fight against capital? Although I'm just a manager at Furun Group, the power and connections I wield are beyond your imagination."

A cold glint flashed in Xu Yi's eyes. Looking at their arrogant faces, he considered whether he should beat them up.

Xu Yi was certain that nothing would happen if he beat them up.

Given how much Yu Shu and the Principal cared about him, the higher-ups had likely noticed him.

Beating them would affect his persona, but not beating them would harm his Dao heart.

As Xu Yi hesitated, the Director stepped forward.

Trembling, he prepared to make a phone call.

The higher-ups had given him this matter to resolve, hoping he could redeem himself. If things went well, he might even get a promotion.

But now, the situation was beyond his capabilities, and he had no choice but to ask for intervention from above.

However, if they intervened, his position as Director would be over.

"Hello, sir..." the Director said hoarsely into the phone.

Zhang Quan shook his head in disdain. "Demanding the higher-ups for something as trivial as instant noodles? This Director might as well not be one. He's making a mountain out of a molehill."

Wang Kang couldn't wait and shoved the contract into Xu Yi's arms.

"Sign it quickly, or you'll regret it."

Xu Yi's chest heaved violently.

He was being treated like this just for refusing to compromise his conscience and raise prices?

Smashing his stall!

Forcing him to sign a contract!

Breaching the contract and canceling his stall!

If he didn't have the system, wouldn't this be equivalent to destroying his livelihood?

Why should poor students with no background deserve to be bullied? To be toyed with by privilege?

Why!

"Damn it, I can't take this anymore."

Xu Yi's eyes turned bloodshot, and the resentment in his chest erupted.

He then slapped Wang Kang across the face, followed by a barrage of blows.

Slap, slap, slap…

"You, you dare hit me? Do you know who I am!"

"Believe it or not, I'll have you killed!" Wang Kang roared.

But his threats were met with even heavier blows.

"Since you think you can bully anyone, you should be prepared to get slapped in the face by a bully."

The supermarket owner and others flinched back in fear, clearly terrified.

Zhang Quan looked coldly at the Principal. "Principal, why are you keeping a student like this? He's openly resorting to violence. He must be expelled!"

The Principal stared directly at him. "What if I don't expel him? What he did is understandable."

"Who is this student? What kind of background does he have, that you're treating him like this?"

"Hmph~ I am merely fulfilling my duties as Principal."

"Then it seems he has no background," Zhang Quan sneered.

He then recorded the entire incident of Xu Yi's assault. "With this video as evidence, even you, Principal, cannot openly favor him. Xu Yi will definitely be expelled, I guarantee it!"

"Security guards? What are you waiting for, get him!" Zhang Quan commanded sternly.

The security guards finally reacted and rushed towards Xu Yi.

"Stop!"

Not far from the cafeteria, a sudden shout rang out.

Li Wen jogged over quickly.

His eyes were filled with guilt as he looked at Xu Yi. "It really is you. I'm so sorry, I should have recognized you this morning. I've wronged Brother Fan."

Xu Yi stopped what he was doing, and a smile curved his lips.

It seemed the letter had worked.

The chairman of Furun Group... things were looking up.

Wang Kang painfully got up from the ground, his hands trembling as he pointed at Xu Yi.

"You're finished! You've offended Furun Group, your life is over."

"Heh heh~ After you graduate, let's see which company will hire you."

The Principal explained, "Furun Group is the pillar industry of our city, involved in all aspects. If Wang Kang deliberately suppresses him, Xu Yi will be unemployed the moment he graduates."

Seeing this, Li Wen glared at Wang Kang with murderous intent.

"You... what did you say?"
