"Hahaha... This is a big deal, a big deal, you rascal..." Fang Tongshou laughed loudly, and began to like Li Yang. He had always had a question in his mind: with such good grades and aptitude, why didn't Li Yang choose a first-class university like Beimu Qingshui University, but instead chose Jiangdong University?
How wonderful it would be if he chose Northwood and became his student.
"Did I say something wrong?" Li Yang asked innocently.
"No, you're absolutely right," Fang Tongshou said, waving his hand.
Fang Kexin looked up at Li Yang in surprise, and their eyes met. She immediately felt shy, her cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head so low that she almost shrank into her cleavage.
"Hehe... Weirui, take Kexin out for a walk to clear her head. Li Yang and I have something to talk about!" Fang Tongshou suddenly said with a smile.
“What’s the point of talking to this lecherous scoundrel… Fine!” Sun Weirui immediately became dissatisfied, but when she looked up and saw Fang Tongshou’s slightly gloomy face, she had no choice but to compromise.
At Beimu University, Fang Tongshou was practically the second most powerful person after Sun Weirui's mother, Su Qingchi. He wielded immense power and held a very high position, making him one of the most prominent figures in the entire capital! He had always been very supportive of Su Qingchi's work and had a very good relationship with her.
Sun Weirui and Fang Kexin were related by marriage and became close friends since childhood. However, Sun Weirui was still somewhat afraid of this elder.
"Kexin, let's go out for a walk and give someone some space!" Sun Weirui said, pulling Fang Kexin along with dissatisfaction.
Fang Kexin nodded slightly, bravely looked up at Li Yang, and then said softly, "Goodbye."
"Goodbye, Kexin!" Li Yang immediately called out affectionately, making Fang Kexin blush with embarrassment.
Li Yang felt a sense of satisfaction, suddenly realizing that he actually enjoyed watching Fang Kexin blush and blush shyly.
Chapter 507: Two Women Competing for a Husband
"Cough cough..." Aunt Fang couldn't help but cough once, then lowered her head to eat watermelon, taking small bites, which was very ladylike and tasteful.
It seems that Fang Kexin's temperament is inherited from her mother, and combined with her own personality, she has become the delicate and frail Daiyu-like girl in front of us.
"I wonder what Principal Fang wants to see me about?" Li Yang asked casually, continuing to eat his watermelon as if nothing had happened.
Fang Tongshou didn't care about his gaze; after all, men can understand each other's thoughts. But as for his daughter, although he was unhappy, he wouldn't let it ruin important matters.
"I wonder what your attitude is this time?" Fang Tongshou asked tentatively.
Li Yang laughed, stroking his chin, and said, "Principal Fang, you seem to have asked the wrong person. I'm just a casual student. You should ask Teacher Cao; she's the main leader! I'm just a foot soldier!"
"Really? I think I heard that you and Teacher Cao knew each other back in high school?" Fang Tongshou asked leisurely.
"Everyone seems to know this, right? She was my boss in high school. What's so special about that? She's still my boss now!" Li Yang said calmly.
"Really? But I heard that someone saw you two together, very intimately. And it seems that when my secretary came to see you today, she wasn't surprised at all, as if she's already used to having you as the center of her world. What do you think is going on?" Fang Tongshou had clearly done his homework and was determined to have a good discussion with Li Yang.
"Really? This is just my private matter. It's normal that she doesn't question it; it shows her high level of manners!" Li Yang said, narrowing his eyes. He thought to himself, "You old fox, just you wait if you try to trick me into revealing anything."
To be honest, after Beimu University's mission to Jiangdong University failed and he returned, Fang Tongshou hired a private investigator to investigate Li Yang and received news that greatly surprised him.
"It seems you want me to tell you the truth. Actually, you and your teacher Cao have a very close relationship, and I suspect that she gave up her status and achievements at the city's top high school to enter Jiangdong University because of you, right? Moreover, you also have ambiguous relationships with several other women. Do you need me to name them one by one?" Fang Tongshou coughed and said in a deep voice.
"Damn, this old guy investigated me?" Li Yang thought for a moment and then made up his mind, knowing that this old guy must have done his homework.
Li Yang's eyes gleamed, and after staring at Fang Tongshou for a moment, he immediately knew the whole truth.
"Principal Fang, you didn't call me here to pry into my private life, did you?" Li Yang asked lazily, as if to say, "You're not a gossipmonger either, are you? Let's get to the point and stop beating around the bush."
"Alright, so are you here this time to sincerely seek peace?" Fang Tongshou said in a deep voice.
“Of course, we are very sincere, but your sincerity seems insufficient.” Li Yang nodded, but implicitly pointed out Sun Weirui’s interception.
“You’re wrong about that. Actually, I’m very sincere. The current situation is not good for either of us. Do you want to see this situation continue?” Fang Tongshou said in a deep voice.
Li Yang knew that his subtext was that if things continued like this, and things came to a head, Beimu wouldn't be one to back down. A prestigious school with over a hundred years of history wasn't something to be trifled with, and if things escalated, it wouldn't benefit anyone.
“We are here to seek peace in good faith! Tell me, what do you want me to do?” Li Yang said.
Fang Tongshou nodded slightly and said, "Alright, I have a plan. I wonder if you would be willing to cooperate with me?"
"What plan?" Although Li Yang already knew, he still pretended not to know.
"Principal Su wants to save face and avenge her sister! But deep down, she still wants to make peace. After all, Beimu University is a place for educating people, not for competing with others. She's been very troubled lately, and I know what's bothering her. So, I plan to cooperate with you to get her to make a quick decision to cooperate with Jiangdong University instead of being hostile!" Fang Tongshou's method was simple: create a fait accompli, forcing Su Qingchi to disregard her pride or pressure her sister, instead of focusing on Li Yang and Jiangdong University, and quickly reach a settlement.
After all, according to the information he obtained from the investigation, if Beimu University is too aggressive or unreasonable this time, Li Yang, a guy with an extraordinary identity and exceptional martial arts skills, will definitely not hold his nose and let it go. He will definitely cause a scene at Beimu University, and it seems that no one at Beimu University can handle him. In the end, it will be Beimu University that loses face.
That's why he sent someone directly to invite Li Yang, instead of Cao Xin, his honorary teacher.
“Tell me about it!” Li Yang nodded.
"It's very simple. I just want to create a situation where Principal Su stops insisting and hesitating, and immediately starts negotiating or even cooperating with you!" Fang Tongshou said.
"Oh, what fact?" Li Yang asked.
"If you're willing, I'll announce to the public that Principal Su's daughter, Miss Sun Weirui, likes you, that you're mutually attracted, that you met under unusual circumstances, and that you plan to date and even get engaged!" Fang Tongshou said in a startling statement.
"Huh? Isn't that a bad idea? With her murderous temper, how could she possibly agree?" Although Li Yang knew his plan, he was still somewhat shocked to hear him say it himself. This guy was really ruthless.
“I don’t need her consent; I just want this kind of public opinion effect. If you think that’s not enough, I can also announce that my daughter likes you too, and that the two sisters are fighting over you. That would have an even better public opinion effect!” Fang Tongshou said again in a startling way.
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Mrs. Fang, who was standing to the side, finally lost her composure. When it came to her daughter, she immediately became nervous.
“I’m talking about public opinion, which is false. What are you worried about?” Fang Tongshou frowned.
“But this is not good for a girl’s reputation!” Madam Fang insisted.
“It’s not good for Kexin to remain so withdrawn. It’s good for her to experience some things!” Fang Tongshou said.
"But..." Mrs. Fang didn't know what to say for a moment. In fact, she knew that her husband was right and that he was acting in the best interests of the school. Although it made her daughter sad, it was ultimately good for her. She couldn't just pity her children and not let them experience hardships, as that would not be good for their healthy growth.
