The Principal: Stop Talking, Have Some Shame

"Even when he was stuck in the mud himself, he still cared about the other students."

As he spoke, the director stared at the principal.

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

The director said nothing and merely nodded.

"Blocking my path to wealth is no different from killing my parents. I'll give you one last chance. Are you leaving or not?" the boss barked.

"Then today, I'll kill your damn parents," Xu Yi said, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"You're courting death! Get him! Teach him a lesson!"

The lackeys behind the boss immediately surrounded Xu Yi.

"What? You dare hit someone?"

"Hehe, he's just a poor student. So what if we beat him up? Who's 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?"

"How outrageous! They actually dare attack a student."

"Forget it, let's go ourselves!"

Though advanced in years, the principal was still vigorous, taking the lead.

They could beat anyone, but they absolutely could not touch Xu Yi.

Yet before he had taken more than a few steps, he froze. In less than a minute, Xu Yi had already dealt with several lackeys.

They lay on the ground, rolling back and forth in agony.

Xu Yi's eyes lit up. These Emotion Points were coming in fast.

If he had known, he would have hit them a few more times.

The livestream chat instantly exploded.

Holy shit, Xu Yi is this strong in a fight?

I practice martial arts too. Just now, I saw traces of Baji and Xing Yi Quan in his moves.

He's insanely good. If he entered a competition, he'd definitely win an award.

"Y-you... don't come any closer. Fighting is forbidden at school." The boss backed away in terror.

Xu Yi advanced step by step. "Hmm... then I can only use the Dog-Beating Staff Technique."

Bang!

The boss flew two meters away and lay on the ground, wailing nonstop.

Xu Yi looked down at him from above, his foot pressing on the man's hand. "Are you sure you want to shut down this window?"

The school leaders approached with dark expressions. Seeing them, the boss looked as though he had spotted saviors and shouted, "Principal, save us!"

"This student ignored school rules and used violence in public to beat us. Expel him now!"

Smack!

Unable to hold back, the principal slapped him across the face.

"Shut up! I saw everything just now."

You worthless bastard almost got me killed.

The boss clutched his face, utterly baffled by the slap.

"Principal, it's me! He's just a poor student! Did you forget that I treated you to dinner at the beginning of the year..."

"Shut up!"

Veins bulged on the principal's forehead as he slapped him again.

Usually refined and gentle, he had done something today that completely ruined his image.

One could only imagine how furious he was.

"What's wrong with being a poor student? Does he eat your rice? You can forget about running this supermarket too! The school will terminate its contract with you."

The supermarket owner wore an incredulous expression. No matter how slow he was, he knew he had kicked an iron plate.

This student was definitely no ordinary person!

To avoid further complications, the principal drafted a contract termination agreement on the spot.

"Sign it quickly. I'm leaving you with the last bit of dignity you have."

A complicated look flickered in the boss's eyes. Then he looked at Xu Yi. "Young man, could you ask the principal to spare me this once? I know I was wrong.

"The truth is, I had no choice but 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.

"Huaqing University?"

Everyone exchanged looks, clearly surprised.

Huaqing University was one of Great Xia's top institutions.

"Young man, you're probably planning to take the postgraduate entrance exam, right? As long as you stop pursuing this matter, I can have my son tutor you."

Everyone looked toward 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.

"Then fine. I won't pursue it."

The boss's face brightened. At least the brat knows what's good for him.

"After all, once you all leave, the boss will retaliate against me without end. How can a student like me possibly fight him? Boss, when you retaliate against me in the future, could you go a little easier on me?"

What the fuck...

The boss had just wanted to curse him out when he noticed several furious gazes around him.

Yu Shu said coldly, "I didn't think things through just now. This contract must be terminated today."

The principal also said with a dark expression, "What are you standing around for? Sign it already."

"Fine, fine, fine..."

The boss trembled with rage. He had seen students with bad tempers, and he had seen students who could fight.

But this was the first time he had ever seen someone who could beat a green tea at his own game.

Then he spread his 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 Furun Group. If you have the ability, go terminate the contract with him."

The principal took the employment contract the boss handed over and found that it was indeed true.

The director frowned deeply as he looked at the principal. "Is this matter easy to resolve?"

The principal shook his head. "It's a little difficult. Furun Group is the leading company in this city and is involved in every industry. Our university has investments from them as well.

"Two of the teaching buildings were built with their donations."

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 proper talk with him."

"Director... he said he's in a meeting and doesn't have time to take the call."

"What?"

The director's face immediately darkened, and he sneered in fury. "Fine, fine, fine. No time.

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

The secretary nodded respectfully beside him. "But Director, the bureau currently has several partnerships with Furun Group. This year's performance results are all..."

The director said, "..."

"Hmph."

The boss looked smugly at everyone before pushing over a settlement agreement.

"Young man, you've seen our strength too. We can let the matter of you hitting us slide, and 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 Instant Noodles to ten yuan."

"Uncle Yu..."

Yu Shu lowered his head, his gaze evasive as he did not dare look at Xu Yi.

The principal beside him was also flushed red and remained silent.

At this moment, Yu Shu was under enormous pressure. His superiors had assigned him to personally resolve this matter.

He had originally wanted to redeem himself through good service. If he messed this up again...

Whether he could retire peacefully would become a question.

"If it really comes to it... then we'll have to ask someone higher up to step in," Yu Shu muttered.

Seeing everyone's silence, Xu Yi was speechless.

He had thought they were supposed to be impressive.

"System, do I have enough Emotion Points to edit my background once?"

Five hundred short.

"Then that's easy."

Xu Yi's eyes shifted, and he immediately spoke in a helpless yet carefree tone. "It's okay, Uncle Yu. You've already helped me enough.

"At least you let me have a bowl of Longevity Noodles. I'm already very satisfied."

"Uncle Yu, even if I stop selling Instant Noodles, I can collect waste cardboard boxes and plastic bottles or something. I can definitely support myself."

Guilt Emotion Points +200

Yu Shu's old face turned as red as a monkey's butt. He was practically ready to bury his head under the table.

Xu Yi curled his lips, then looked at the principal.

"Principal, I should thank you too. I applied for financial aid for three years but never received it, yet with just one word from you, I got it this year."

"Student Xu, y-you... stop talking."

"Principal, thank you for giving me free rice and soup. Otherwise, I'd still be hungry right now."

Please stop talking... have some shame!

At that moment, the principal wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have accumulated enough Emotion Points to edit your background once.
