"Ah?" (Cat meme.jpg)
Jin Debiao sneered. "You're not still thinking of getting revenge on Young Master, are you?"
Brother Lao, what kind of strength do you have?
"So that's really it, then?"
"You saw how pathetic taekwondo was in front of traditional martial arts. While you've still got a foundation, why not switch and study traditional martial arts? Besides, the school has quite a few traditional martial arts clubs."
"Seems fair." Jin Wu nodded, already making up his mind.
Chinese style is the coolest! This is what turning from darkness to light looks like.
Meanwhile, the principal gazed meaningfully at Xu Yi. "Xiao Yi, you're so good at fighting. Want to represent the school in competitions?"
Xu Yi rolled his eyes. "I can play the piano too. Are you going to make me compete in that as well?"
"That makes sense. So, are you going or not?"
Xu Yi: "..."
"Sorry, Principal, but my ambitions don't lie there." Xu Yi politely declined.
"But competing would make your résumé more impressive."
"Is it not impressive enough already?"
The principal stood there blankly for a moment. "That does seem to be the case."
"If you want to compete, give me a call."
"Okay."
The moment the principal left, beautiful Bingbing hurried over to Xu Yi.
"Xu Yi, you're famous!"
"Our team just cut up the livestream of your match. It's gone viral across the entire internet."
Xu Yi waved his sleeve. "Does everyone admire me because I'm so good at fighting?"
"No. Everyone's trying to guess your identity. Whether you're some government big shot or a rich bro."
Xu Yi: "..."
Who's impersonating me?
Clearly, those three Lung Fogs were just too weak, weren't they?
Couldn't they see the looks on those three faces? They looked like they wanted to tear me apart.
Xu Yi was speechless.
He had thought he could put on a good show of being awesome, but it turned out he had become the clown.
After that interruption, Xu Yi no longer felt like fooling around with Little Fatty.
After bragging for a while, Xu Yi returned to the dormitory.
The dormitory was my sacred ground. With just a little maneuvering, Emotion Points would come pouring in.
"Anyone who comes in has to pay me Secondhand Smoke Money."
"X-Xu Yi?" Wang Liang looked surprised.
"Oh, come on~ You've even learned to trick me with Young Master Xu now. Xu Yi!"
Xu Yi looked around the dormitory. "Where's Yang De?"
"He was taken away for tea by the Disciplinary Committee."
"Ah?"
"After what happened in the dormitory, his parents were investigated, and he was implicated as well.
"As far as I know, they're being very strict this time. Yang—[missing]—probably won't be coming back."
Wang Liang took a drag of his cigarette, then very politely blew the smoke into a plastic bag and tied it shut. He sighed.
"Who would've thought Old Yang would be the first among the four of us to land an iron rice bowl?"
I wonder if he can see my Brother Fan in prison.
Xu Yi felt somewhat dejected. All he could say was that the director was a fool.
Couldn't he have acted a little later?
With one less leek, the rate at which I collect Emotion Points is going to slow down quite a bit.
Besides, Yang De was a major taxpayer.
"Let's not talk about that. I still have to prepare my application materials." Wang Liang suddenly spoke.
"Application? Aren't you taking the postgraduate entrance exam?" Xu Yi asked in surprise.
"No. The value of academic qualifications is depreciating faster than my snake's. I might as well enter society early and become a wage slave."
Liu Yu said, "Oh, come on~ You clearly couldn't pass the exam, and now you're blaming the overall environment. If you're incompetent, don't blame the road for being uneven."
Xu Yi pointed at Liu Yu. "So you're taking the postgraduate entrance exam?"
"I'm not taking it either."
Xu Yi: "..."
Fine, fine, none of us are taking it. Then I won't take it either.
"Which company are you planning to join?" Liu Yu asked.
At that, Wang Liang revealed a smug smile. "I've decided. I'm going to the Furun Group."
"What?"
"Brother, how many drinks did you have this morning? I'd sooner believe you could pass the civil service exam than believe you could get into the Furun Group.
"Even the cleaning aunties there earn more than six thousand a month."
Wang Liang smiled. "What a coincidence. I'm applying to be a security guard. Other people become security guards at fifty; I'm going at twenty. If you round it off, I've avoided thirty years of detours."
Xu Yi blinked. "You don't even qualify to be a security guard."
Negative Emotion Points +50
"I've already found someone with connections. The HR manager is my mother's fuck buddy. He'll arrange for me to get in."
Dude, seriously!
Big Socks, are you even speaking Chinese?
Wang Liang took it in stride. "We're adults. There's nothing strange about having an adventurous love life."
Xu Yi said, "Even your mother has a fuck buddy, but you don't. Little Chu Nan."
Negative Emotion Points +100
Wang Liang instantly flushed red with anger, but still stubbornly argued, "Young Master Xu, you probably don't know that my girlfriend has cried many times."
"Little Chu Nan, you sure have a rich imagination when it comes to role-playing."
Negative Emotion Points +200
He was completely broken. Truly, completely broken.
"Oh, come on~ You're even bragging to your brothers now. There's a whole pile of cultural relics on your bed every day, bro. I see it all, but I won't say it out loud."
After being exposed, Wang Liang simply abandoned all shame and continued, "Young Master Xu, you're already different from us. You've got an uncle who's a director. You can land a government job as soon as you graduate.
"We're not the same. We might end up being wage slaves for the rest of our lives."
Xu Yi scratched his head. "I'm not planning to take the civil service exam either."
"???"
What?
The two of them stared blankly. "With such uniquely favorable conditions, you're not taking the civil service exam?"
"Funny enough, I'm also planning to join the Furun Group."
Wang Liang immediately brightened, once again reverting to his former arrogant and unruly self.
"Little Xu, why don't you come with me? I've got connections at the Furun Group. My mom just has to wiggle her waist, and the two of us can skip so many detours."
