Damn it, you don't care that Gao Yan didn't come, but you're deliberately making trouble for me.
"Li Yang, come out here. I have something to ask you." Yang Ming glanced at Li Yang with a furrowed brow and said. This kid is really a headache. His grades have suddenly improved, which is gratifying, but the problems that follow are also giving him a headache.
"Yes." Li Yang followed and walked out.
"Tell me, where have you been these past two days?" Yang Ming asked with a stern face.
"It's something. A private matter, I can't disclose it," Li Yang said calmly.
"Personal matter? Can't you ask for leave?" Yang Ming frowned and raised his voice.
"It's urgent. It happened suddenly, and besides, I don't have a cell phone and don't know your number. So, that's all," Li Yang said helplessly.
"That won't work either. You have to ask for leave if you need to. I'm telling you this time, Director Huang won't let you off easily, and I can't protect you either!" Yang Ming said painfully.
"How did he know I skipped class?" Li Yang was also puzzled. How did he know?
“He often checks classes and walks around the school, and since it's only senior high school students, it's easy for him to notice you're not there,” Yang Ming said, shaking his head. This student is so heartbreaking.
"I'm not doubting you, Teacher Yang. I just suspect that guy is targeting me. Don't worry, I'll be fine," Li Yang said nonchalantly.
"Behave yourself! Quickly come up with a proper reason that will pass muster, otherwise, your parents will be called in," Yang Ming scolded. Seeing Li Yang's nonchalant attitude, Yang Ming felt a headache coming on.
"What? He really wants to fire me?" Li Yang was astonished. This Director Huang was really ruthless.
“How would I know? You’d better prepare for the worst. Go to his office right away, apologize, be polite, say some nice things, whatever you do, don’t get fired. Understand? If it weren’t for Director Cao’s intervention last time, and Gao Yan not pursuing the matter, you would probably already be fired,” Yang Ming said worriedly.
"Oh. That seems to be the case. Okay then, I'll go see him." Li Yang smiled faintly, genuinely unconcerned.
"Li Yang, tell me, do you know Director Cao?" Yang Ming suddenly stopped him and asked.
“I don’t know him,” Li Yang replied immediately.
"That's not good. If you knew him, Director Huang wouldn't dare to do anything to you! Otherwise, he would definitely escalate the situation and settle the score from both incidents at once!" Yang Ming said regretfully, waving his hand.
"Oh. So Director Huang is that powerful. I'll go meet him." Li Yang waved and walked away.
Yang Ming watched his retreating figure, sighed, shook his head, and walked back to the classroom.
Chapter 61: Almost Wet My Pants
Li Yang was not worried about his own affairs, but having such a venomous snake watching him at school was a real headache.
He arrived at the door of the director of political education's office. Huang Qi, as the deputy director, also had his own independent office, which was very close to Cao Xin's office, both located in the same corridor.
Bang bang bang
"Director Huang, this is Li Yang," Li Yang said after knocking on the door.
"Come in." Huang Qi's voice was deep, but he couldn't hide his excitement.
Li Yang pushed open the door and walked in, not closing it. He stood in the middle of the office, looking at the yellow flag behind the desk. His side-parted hair was neatly combed, and his face was clean-shaven, but his thin lips and triangular eyes made him look somewhat mean.
"Tell me. Where have you been these past two days?" Huang Qi stared down at Li Yang, his lips twitching slightly.
"I have some personal business to attend to. I didn't have time to ask for leave. Director Huang, could you please make an exception?" Li Yang said with a smile.
Snap!
Huang Qi slammed his hand on the table and shouted angrily, "Outrageous! What nonsense are you spouting! You think you can just lenient with school rules and regulations like that? If all students acted like this, the school would be in chaos! I, the director of student affairs, might as well go home and sleep!"
Li Yang said calmly, "Teacher Huang, if you don't say anything, and I don't tell anyone either, no one will know. It won't cause such serious consequences. Can you please help me?" Li Yang took out a hundred yuan and handed it over.
"What are you doing? Bribing the teacher? Let me tell you, don't try to be clever! The intense final sprint of senior year is about to begin, and school discipline is especially important. This must be dealt with seriously. Don't have any illusions!" Huang Qi glanced greedily at the hundred-yuan bill, then opened his eyes and said coldly to Li Yang.
Holy crap, are you really going to keep showing off like this?
"So what do you want to do with me? Fire me?" Li Yang sneered.
Huang Qi was enraged by his disdainful expression and said in a deep voice, "Hmph! I was originally planning to have you inform your parents and then issue a school-wide reprimand! However, seeing that you have no remorse whatsoever, I think you are no longer suitable to continue studying at the No. 1 Middle School of the city. This place can't teach trash like you! You should pack your things and get out!"
Li Yang's face turned cold. He narrowed his eyes and stared coldly at Huang Qi, saying, "You, surnamed Huang, don't regret this!"
"Regret? What a joke. Don't even think about getting away with this!" Huang Qi laughed triumphantly. Last time, because of Cao Xin's matter, he failed to punish Li Yang. At the time, he was panicked and thought that Li Yang and Cao Xin knew each other. Later, he learned that they didn't know each other at all. Li Yang was just a poor student with no background. He felt a sense of shame and anger at being tricked. This time, he was determined to punish him severely.
To wipe away this humiliation!
"I'm not taking any chances. I shouldn't have been fired in the first place. You're the one who's making a big deal out of it and targeting me. Aren't you afraid of losing your job because of this?" Li Yang showed no sign of nervousness, as if he didn't care at all about being fired.
"Heh heh... You think you can crush me like an ant? You really think you're something special! You're just a piece of shit! Get lost. Don't get in my way!" Huang Qi laughed triumphantly, finally able to avenge himself.
Li Yang laughed too. He didn't go out, but pointed at Huang Qi's nose and said, "Hey Huang, if I'm a pile of shit, then you were fucking made by a pile of shit. You're not even as good as a pile of shit!"
"Damn it! You little bastard..." Huang Qi was furious. He stood up, his face ashen, and was about to beat Li Yang.
But he was no match for Li Yang. Li Yang grabbed his hands like iron clamps, and Huang Qi gasped in pain, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
"Huang Qi, you idiot! You'll regret this..."
"What are you doing?" A cold voice from the doorway made the two separate immediately.
The aloof and charismatic Cao Xin stood quietly at the door, calmly watching them.
Upon seeing that it was Cao Xin, Huang Qi immediately rushed over to complain, "Director Cao! He not only skipped class without reason, but he also refused to be disciplined and even tried to hit me! You have to stand up for me..."
"Is that so?" Cao Xin turned her gaze to Li Yang.
"That's not how it is. You know I skipped class, Teacher Cao. This yellow flag not only targeted me and wanted to expel me, but also insulted my character, calling me a pile of shit, trash... Teacher Cao, if the top 50 students in the class are piles of shit and trash, then what is this school? And what kind of person is this director!" Li Yang also put on a very aggrieved posture and said innocently.
