"Huh?" (Cat looking confused.jpg)

Jin Debiao sneered, "You don't actually plan on getting revenge on the young master, do you?"

What kind of strength do you, Brother Lao, even have?

"So, are we just going to let it go like this?"

"As you saw, Taekwondo is so pathetic in front of Traditional Martial Arts. Since you still have a foundation, why not switch to learning Traditional Martial Arts? There are plenty of Traditional Martial Arts clubs at school anyway."

"That does make sense." Jin Wu nodded, already making plans in his mind.

Chinese style is the coolest! Time to abandon the darkness and embrace the light.

Meanwhile, the Principal looked at Xu Yi with meaningful eyes, "Little Yi, you're so good at fighting, why don't you represent the school in the competition?"

Xu Yi rolled his eyes, "I can play the piano too, do you want me to compete in that as well?"

"That makes sense. Are you going or not?"

Xu Yi: "..."

"Sorry Principal, my ambition doesn't lie there." Xu Yi politely declined.

"But participating in the competition can enrich your life experience."

"Isn't it rich enough already?"

The Principal was stunned for a moment, "That's true, I guess."

"If you want to compete, just call me."

"Okay."

As soon as the Principal left, the beautiful Bingbing excitedly approached Xu Yi.

"Xu Yi, you've gone viral!"

"Our team just made clips of your sparring match, and it's blowing up all over the internet."

Xu Yi waved his sleeve, "Does everyone admire my fighting skills?"

"No, everyone's guessing your identity. Are you an official or a rich guy?"

Xu Yi: "..."

Who's framing me?

It was clearly those three idiots who couldn't take a punch.

Didn't they see the expressions on their faces? They looked like they wanted to tear themselves apart.

Xu Yi was speechless.

He thought he could show off a bit, but instead, he ended up being the clown.

After that incident, Xu Yi lost the mood to hang out with Little Fatty.

After boasting for a while, Xu Yi returned to the dorm.

The dorm is my sanctuary. With a little trick, Emotion Points will come pouring in.

"Everyone who comes in has to pay me Secondhand Smoke Money."

"Xu... Xu Yi?" Wang Liang was a bit surprised.

"I know~ You've learned to use 'Young Master Xu' to trick me now. Xu Yi!"

Xu Yi looked around the dorm, "Where's Yang De?"

"He was invited for tea by the Disciplinary Committee."

"Huh?"

"After that incident in the dorm, his parents were investigated, and he's being investigated along with them.

From what I know, this is a serious crackdown. Yang (missing) probably isn't coming back."

Wang Liang took a drag from his cigarette, then politely exhaled into a plastic bag and tied it shut, sighing, "Sigh~ Who would have thought Old Yang would be the first among the four of us to land a stable job."

Wonder if he can see my Brother Fan from prison.

Xu Yi felt a bit disappointed, he could only say the Director was being foolish.

Couldn't he have waited until later to make a move?

With one less leek, the progress on collecting Emotion Points would slow down significantly.

Besides, Yang De was a big taxpayer.

"I'm not talking anymore, I need to prepare my application materials," Wang Liang suddenly said.

"Applying? Aren't you taking the postgraduate entrance exam?" Xu Yi asked in surprise.

"No. The value of a degree is depreciating faster than my snakes. It's better to enter society early and be a workhorse."

Liu Yu: "I know~ Clearly, he can't pass the exam himself, so he's blaming the general environment. A bad craftsman blames his tools."

Xu Yi pointed at Liu Yu, "So you're going for postgraduate studies?"

"I'm not applying either."

Xu Yi: "..."

Fine, fine, none of you are applying, so I won't either.

"Which company are you planning to join?" Liu Yu asked.

At this point, Wang Liang showed a smug smile, "I've decided, I'm going to Furun Group."

"What?"

"Dude, how much did you drink this morning? I'd sooner believe you could pass the civil service exam than get into Furun Group. Even the cleaning ladies there make over six thousand a month."

Wang Liang chuckled, "Coincidentally, I'm applying for a security guard position. Others become security guards at fifty, I'm doing it at twenty. Rounding down, I've skipped thirty years of detours."

Xu Yi blinked, "You're not even qualified to be a security guard."

[Negative Emotion Points +50]

"I've got connections. The HR manager is my mom's old flame, he'll get me in."

No way, man!

What kind of nonsense is this? Are you even speaking Chinese?

Wang Liang, however, was unfazed, "We're adults, it's normal to play around."

Xu Yi: "Even your mom has old flames, but you don't. Little Chu Nan."

[Negative Emotion Points +100]

Wang Liang's face instantly flushed red, but he still put up a fight, "Young Master Xu, you probably don't know how many times my girlfriend has cried."

"Little Chu Nan, you've got quite the imagination for someone trying to play the tough guy."

[Negative Emotion Points +200]

He's completely broken. Truly broken.

"Yeah~ And I bragged about it to my friends. My bed is full of antiques every night. I see it but I don't say it."

After being exposed, Wang Liang decided to throw all pretense away and continued, "Young Master Xu, you're already different from us. You have a Director uncle. You can get a job right after graduation. We're different, we might end up as beasts of burden for the rest of our lives."

Xu Yi scratched his head, "I wasn't planning on taking the civil service exam either?"

"???"

Huh?

The two looked bewildered, "With such excellent conditions, you're not taking the exam?"

"It's also a coincidence, I was planning to join Furun Group too."

Wang Liang immediately perked up, regaining his previous arrogant demeanor.

"Little Xu, why don't you follow my lead? I have connections at Furun Group. My mom can make things easy for both of us with just a little effort."
