The Cafeteria Stall Was Canceled

Several other school leaders immediately looked delighted.

"The other side must be willing to negotiate because of the director."

"When the director steps in, there's nothing he can't resolve."

"If the director really settles this, he might even get promoted again."

The people around them immediately began flattering him.

Yu Shu said nothing, but he clearly enjoyed it.

By contrast, the shop owners looked uneasy. At the end of the day, they were just running a small school convenience store.

The manager wouldn't possibly offend a director over one little convenience store, would he?

Before long, the Furun Group manager arrived. His name was Wang Kang.

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

Then Wang Kang got straight to the point. "Director Wang, I already know what happened. Although I own this supermarket, the main management authority is in their hands."

Yu Shu raised his brows. "What do you mean?"

"The management authority isn't with me, so I can't control what they do. Sorry... there's nothing I can do about this."

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

Yu Shu was so angry he almost laughed. You owned the store, yet you claimed the employees held the management authority and that you had no power.

Who were you trying to fool, three-year-olds?

At that moment, Xu Yi suddenly said, "It's fine. Even if they force me to raise my prices, I won't do it.

"He only runs a supermarket. He doesn't have the power to cancel my stall."

Wang Kang turned to the owner. "You can't handle a student like this? Can't you find someone to threaten and harass him?"

The owner gave a bitter smile. "President Wang, this kid is really strange. He's extremely good at fighting. He beat several of us by himself. He knows martial arts."

Wang Kang shook his head, then stared fixedly at Xu Yi with a teasing tone. "Tell me, do you think 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...

"Fine, fine, fine. Let's see if you can still talk big later."

Not long afterward, a potbellied man appeared.

"President Zhang, can you handle this?"

"Yes. Then what about the cooperation between me and your company?"

"Easy. I'll take care of it when I get back."

The principal immediately frowned. "Zhang Quan? Why is he here?"

Zhang Quan looked at Xu Yi, then at Wang Kang. "This is the student?"

Wang Kang nodded.

Zhang Quan smiled, then took out a document.

"Student, this is the termination contract for your cafeteria stall. Sign it. I'll pay you triple the penalty afterward."

Huh?

Everyone stood there in shock.

Yu Shu looked at the principal, his gaze full of questions.

The principal said weakly, "Back when the school was built, our cafeteria was contracted out. Although I have a say in the school's affairs.

"The cafeteria is the one exception! He has the final say over who gets a stall and who doesn't."

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

"You really aren't human."

"Cut the crap and sign it! I contracted this cafeteria. I decide who I rent to!" Zhang Quan snapped.

Wang Kang snorted. "Naive student, do you really think you can fight capital? I may only be a manager at the Furun Group, but the power and connections I hold are beyond your imagination."

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

Xu Yi was certain that nothing serious would happen if he did.

Judging by how much Yu Shu, the principal, and the others cared about him, the higher-ups had probably noticed him.

Beating them would definitely damage his image, but not doing so would harm his Dao Heart.

Just as Xu Yi hesitated, the director stepped forward.

His finger trembled as he prepared to make a call.

The higher-ups had assigned him this matter so he could redeem himself. If he handled it well, he might really earn another promotion.

But now the matter had gone beyond his abilities. He could only ask the higher-ups to intervene.

But once they did, his career as director would be over.

"Hello, Leader..." the director said hoarsely into the phone.

Zhang Quan shook his head disdainfully. "It's just Instant Noodles, and you're already asking your superiors for help? He might as well let Instant Noodles be the director. What a fuss over nothing."

Wang Kang could not wait any longer and shoved the contract into Xu Yi's arms.

"Hurry up and sign it, or you'll regret it."

Xu Yi's chest heaved violently.

He had only refused to raise prices against his conscience, yet this was how they treated him?

They smashed his stall!

They forced him to sign a contract!

They forcibly broke the agreement and canceled his stall!

If he did not have the system, wouldn't this be equivalent to destroying the livelihood he depended on?

Why did poor students and people without connections deserve to be bullied and toyed with by privilege?

Why?

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

Xu Yi's eyes turned bloodshot as the unwillingness in his heart burst forth.

He slapped Wang Kang across the face, then began striking him from both sides.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

"Y-you dare hit me? Do you know who I am?!"

"Do you believe I can find someone to kill you?" Wang Kang roared.

But all he got in return was an even harsher beating.

"Since you picked on a soft persimmon, you'd better be ready to have that soft persimmon smashed into your face."

The supermarket owner and the others hurriedly shrank back in fear. Clearly, they had been beaten badly enough before.

Zhang Quan looked coldly at the principal. "Principal, why keep a student like this instead of expelling him? He openly used violence. He must be expelled!"

The principal met his gaze directly. "What if I refuse? He had his reasons for doing this."

"Who exactly is this student? What kind of background does he have that makes you treat him like this?"

"Hmph. I'm only carrying out my duties as principal."

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

He then recorded the entire process of Xu Yi beating Wang Kang. "With this video as evidence, even you, the principal, can't openly protect him. Xu Yi will definitely be expelled. I said so!"

"Security! What are you standing around for? Get him!" Zhang Quan barked.

Only then did the security guards react and charge toward Xu Yi.

"Stop!"

A cry suddenly came from not far away in the cafeteria.

Li Wen quickly jogged over.

His eyes were full of guilt as he looked at Xu Yi. "It really was you. I'm such an idiot. I should have recognized you this morning. I let Brother Fan down."

Xu Yi stopped what he was doing, and a smile rose at the corner of his lips.

It seemed that letter had worked.

The chairman of the Furun Group... things were secure now.

Wang Kang painfully climbed up from the ground and pointed at Xu Yi with trembling hands.

"You're finished! You offended the Furun Group. Your life is over."

"Hehe... once you graduate, let's see what company would hire you."

The principal explained, "The Furun Group is a pillar industry in our city, involved in every field. If Wang Kang deliberately suppresses him, Xu Yi will be unemployed the moment he graduates."

Seeing this, Li Wen looked at Wang Kang with killing intent in his eyes.

"...What did you say?"
