Making You Review a Thesis, You Drove a Student to Mine Coal?

Yu Shu sneered. "A student studies hard for over a decade, just to be sent off to mine coal?"

"It's not like he'd be mining coal for the rest of his life... It's only an internship. I'm doing it for his own good."

Yu Shu let out a string of furious sneers.

"Then why don't I send your child to mine coal too?"

Wang Neng rolled his eyes at him. "Who are you? The principal hasn't said anything, so why are you butting in?"

"I haven't even criticized you as a parent yet. How did you raise Xu Yi into this?"

The principal's face went pale on the spot.

He frantically winked at Wang Neng, signaling him again and again.

But Wang Neng thought he was being urged to go harder.

So he unleashed a barrage of insults at Yu Shu.

The more he cursed, the more terrified everyone became.

They wished they could flee the place immediately.

Yu Shu was trembling all over with rage.

Ever since becoming bureau chief, how many people had dared to defy him?

Let alone point at his nose and curse him out in public, during a livestream no less.

I'll definitely treat you to Seaweed and Egg Drop Soup.

Xu Yi can have Cauliflower Soup, while you can eat purple eggs.

At that moment, the only happy people at the scene were Xu Yi and one counselor.

Because he was finally no longer the only one about to suffer. He was overjoyed.

On the road to eating purple eggs, I finally have companions.

"Enough! Stop cursing!" the principal shouted.

"Principal, what's wrong?"

The principal shot Wang Neng a glare, then turned to Yu Shu with a guilty look.

"Bureau Chief, are you all right? Wang Neng has no manners. Please don't lower yourself to his level."

Wang Neng blinked in bewilderment. "Bureau chief? What bureau chief...?"

"This is Bureau Chief Yu Shu, who came to inspect our school. Teacher Wang, you really are something. Without knowing right from wrong, you pointed at the bureau chief's nose and cursed him out.

Who hired you into this school? I've wanted to fire you for a long time."

The principal's meaning was obvious.

I have nothing to do with Wang Neng. This is some other leader's fault...

Thud~

Wang Neng collapsed into a chair, cold sweat dripping continuously from his forehead.

B-Bureau Chief!

The bureau chief had come on an undercover inspection?

And I pointed at his nose and cursed him...

Then he looked at Xu Yi. So his uncle was the bureau chief?

Why hadn't he said so earlier?!

At that moment, his heart held thirty percent fear, thirty percent regret, and forty percent resentment toward Xu Yi.

Why didn't you tell me you had connections like that earlier?!

Wait... There was still hope.

As long as the most crucial matter had not been exposed, he had merely insulted the bureau chief.

At worst, he could resign voluntarily.

Xu Yi found the sight amusing.

Then he put on a concerned expression.

"You shouldn't blame Teacher Wang either. He only forced me to mine coal. At least he was doing it for my own good."

Tension Value +200

Anger Value +200

At those words, Yu Shu grew even angrier.

Wang Neng's face filled with terror. Brother, don't do this!

"Teacher Wang is actually a pretty good person. He even said he'd give me a hundred yuan from the commission."

Yu Shu and everyone else froze.

"What commission?"

Wang Neng was equally bewildered. "What are you talking about? Did I ever say that...?"

"You told me after you got drunk. Did you forget? You even asked me to send you the class beauty's WeChat."

Tension Value +300

Anger Value +300

Spare me... I'm a teacher!

Wang Neng argued, "Student Xu Yi, I'm warning you, slander is against the law. I never said any of that..."

Before he could finish, the phone in his pocket rang.

Caller ID: Coal Boss.

He was about to hang up, but Yu Shu stopped him.

"Answer it. Let all of us hear what Boss Wang has to say to you."

Wang Neng swallowed, all color draining from his face.

Yu Shu simply pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Teacher Wang. When is that illegal worker coming over? We're short-handed at the coal yard."

"Say something!"

Wang Neng's voice trembled. "He's not going... That student is very busy."

"What? He's not going? Didn't you swear to me before that you'd make it happen? You said you'd make things difficult for him and force him to come."

Tension Value +400

Anger Value +400

"Don't talk nonsense."

"I've still got our chat records. Wang, you're going back on your word.

I've been so good to you, and this is how you repay me?"

"I only give other agencies a thousand yuan in commission, but I give you two thousand! I pay the student six thousand in wages, and you want to pocket four thousand from him, leaving him with only two thousand."

Boom!

Those words were like a thunderclap, blasting Wang Neng's mind completely blank.

His tone turned pleading. "Please, stop talking."

"Why should I stop? Over the years, I turned a blind eye to how much money you made. But you went too far today.

Oh, right. Didn't you say that orphan on your end, the one with no family and no connections, was about to be in your hands? How's that going? Did he agree?"

Anger Value +500

Silence~

Dead silence~

The entire office fell into a bizarre atmosphere.

The principal closed his eyes in despair, while Yu Shu glared with his eyes wide open in fury.

Only one phrase appeared in everyone's mind.

Utterly monstrous!

For profit, he had abandoned even the slightest shred of morality.

And he had gravely broken the law.

"Why aren't you saying anything? If you don't send that illegal worker over, I'll report you!"

Yu Shu picked up the phone, his voice chilling. "No need to report it. We already heard everything."

"Fuck, this has nothing to do with me!"

Beep, beep, beep~

A cold dial tone came from the other end.

Wang Neng closed his eyes in despair and crumpled to the floor.

It was not that he did not want to stand up. He simply no longer had the strength to do so.

Xu Yi promptly twisted the knife. "Teacher Wang, didn't you say you'd give me fifteen hundred? Why did you deduct another five hundred?"

Tension Value +400

Anger Value +400

Just destroy me. I was wrong...

The principal looked at Yu Shu. "Bureau Chief, how many years will he get?"

The bureau chief glanced at him sideways. "Sending the Son of Heroes, the sole descendant of a Loyal Martyrs family, to an illegal coal mine—how many years do you think he'll get?"

"Life imprisonment?"

"No. He'll be eating Donnie Yen."

The principal shuddered on the spot.

His gaze toward Xu Yi was filled with fear.

"Spare me, I was wrong. I'll never dare again."

"Who knew this kid had such powerful backing? Why the fuck didn't you say so sooner?"

As Officer dragged Wang Neng away, he shouted wildly.

Everyone watched with mixed feelings.

The principal's expression was even more complicated. After these two incidents, his career as principal was probably over too.

Perhaps there was still a chance to salvage it.

"Student Xu Yi, don't worry about your thesis. I'll review it personally. Not only will it pass, it might even win an award. First prize isn't out of the question..."

Xu Yi laughed inwardly, but still nodded. "Then thank you, Principal."
