Chapter 15 Bamboo Shoots Lettuce

"Student Zhai Yuan, I'll wait for your call."

At the school gate, Xue Wan'en gave Principal Huang the final instructions and turned to Zhai Yuan and said something.

Zhai Yuan smiled and nodded, watching Xue Wanen stretch her long legs and get into his silver Porsche 928.

The coupe sped away.

"It's finally over." Principal Huang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Principal Huang, how did I perform today?" Zhai Yuan retracted his gaze and patted an envelope in his hand.

The envelope contained three thousand Hong Kong dollars, which was a scholarship issued by the Education Department to Sau Mau Ping Secondary School.

Principal Huang was very happy: "That's great. As the principal, I am very pleased that the school can cultivate a student like you. I hope you can achieve better development and progress in the future."

Zhai Yuan didn't say anything, but clapped the envelope in his hand hard, making a popping sound.

Principal Huang's mouth twitched, and he lowered his voice: "I'll give you my share next month."

Zhai Yuan said indifferently: "Okay! Then I will call Miss Xue later and ask her about university registration. I have her number!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

"and many more!"

Principal Huang gritted his teeth, took out his wallet and counted out three big gold bulls, his face full of pain: "Don't bother Miss Xue with such a small matter as university registration."

Zhai Yuan took the three thousand yuan from him and put it all into the envelope.

Putting the envelope in his arms, Zhai Yuan looked up and smiled at Principal Huang: "I'm just kidding. I'm at the bottom of the class. How can I be qualified to go to university?"

……

"You're back, Brother Yuan."

Zhai Yuan returned to the classroom and noticed that Liang Zhichao's way of addressing him had changed again.

The students around him also looked at him curiously. It was obvious that the class had already gone through a round of discussion during the time he was in the principal's office.

This kind of thing cannot be kept secret. With just a few words from well-informed students, Zhai Yuan's heroic deeds in dealing with Fei Zai Jun spread throughout the school like a gust of wind.

What’s more, even the school director came in person.

"Well, I'm back."

Zhai Yuan looked around, and the classmates in the classroom made eye contact with him and smiled friendly. Those who usually had a good relationship with him also greeted him as Brother Yuan, which was very different from their previous attitude.

Liang Zhichao even took the initiative to pull out a chair for him: "Brother Yuan, sit down."

Zhai Yuan stood still, looking at the flattering look on Liang Zhichao's face, and sighed softly.

He knew that there was a tragically thick barrier between them.

Zhai Yuan's eyes were complicated, and he moved his lips: "A Chao..."

"Brother Yuan, what's the matter?"

"Go, pour me a glass of water, buy two more packs of Red Wan, and take out the garbage. I'm on duty these two days."

The dragon-slaying warrior eventually turned into a dragon.

Liang Zhichao did not feel humiliated at all. He sighed, stood up and held his head high.

He swept away his previous cowardly temperament, glanced across the classroom, and bossed his classmates around:

"Is everything clear? Brother Yuan wants to smoke. Everyone should pay ten yuan for the fee!"

I choose!

Zhai Yuan's body trembled, and he kicked Liang Zhichao on the butt.

"Fuck you! If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!"

Betraying the class will be punished by history!

After glaring at Liang Zhichao, who was rubbing his butt with a look of grievance on his face, Zhai Yuan took out a hundred-dollar Hong Kong dollar bill from his pocket and waved at him with a look of disgust.

As soon as Liang Zhichao left, a tall and thin boy sat down next to Zhai Yuan, smiled ingratiatingly, and took out a pack of Jian brand cigarettes from his trouser pocket.

"Brother Yuan, first get a bottle of Jianpai to relieve your craving."

As soon as he finished speaking, another boy came up and pushed him away, took out his bag and slammed it on the table.

"Damn it! Eat healthy food and have a good time. Brother Yuan is a rare talent, so of course he has to eat at Salon."

So many details? Zhai Yuan's hand that was reaching for the health card retracted. "Salon in hand, Qingshan patient. Brother Yuan, I have half a pack of Governor here, which I stole from my father's pocket this morning."

"Governor Shi, you want Brother Yuan to be hit on the back by someone?"

In just a short moment, a group of boys started arguing with each other beside Zhai Yuan's desk.

It was the first time that Zhai Yuan realized there were so many smokers in his class.

Fortunately, Liang Zhichao ran back at this time, panting, holding two packs of Hong Wan and squeezed into the crowd.

"Fuck you! When will it be your turn to polish Brother Yuan's shoes?"

Liang Zhichao handed the cigarette over, baring his teeth at the students gathered in a circle, and said with full of servility: "Brother Yuan and I have a friendship of watching adult movies together. Even if he wants to recruit a younger brother, I will be the boss!"

Feeling the strange looks from people around him, Zhai Yuan suddenly wanted to find a piece of tape to seal Liang Zhichao's mouth.

"Eating a cigarette has so many rules, so what's the rule for this?"

Zhai Yuan raised the red money in his hand and changed the subject.

"Reading thousands of books is not as good as eating Marlboro!"

The boys' voices varied, but what they said was all the same.

Zhai Yuan realized that Marlboro's distributors in Hong Kong must have put a lot of effort into marketing, which is why this type of cigarette is so popular in the market today.

It turns out that we should not underestimate the heroes of the world. I also need to work hard on my own career.

"This red envelope is for everyone to eat. Also, no one will collect tuition fees in the school from now on."

Zhai Yuan made his attitude clear and asked the boys around him to leave.

Just as he was preparing to plan his own video hall plan, two heavily made-up female classmates came up to him.

"Brother Yuan, I'm busy tonight. Amei and I want to invite you to watch a movie~"

"No time."

Zhai Yuan didn't even raise his head, he opened the Hongwan package, flicked off the cigarette box, and put a cigarette in his mouth.

He remembered that these two were the girlfriends of Fei Zaijun's younger brother, and they also had close contacts with other gangsters outside the school.

The two girls were disappointed and returned to their original seats with a pout.

"Brother Yuan, you don't even want it when it's delivered to your door?" Liang Zhichao winked with excitement.

Zhai Yuan raised his head and took a look: "Have you ever eaten snow cakes?"

"No."

"Where's Puff?"

"No."

“Have you ever been to a haunted house?”

“I’ve never heard of it.”

Zhai Yuan patted his shoulder, and in the face of Liang Zhichao's puzzled expression, he said earnestly: "Good boy, stay away from these things in the future. Your family has been a single-line family for three generations, and you will be the one to carry on the family line in the future. Take good care of your little bamboo seedling, because it will die if it is grown on cauliflower."

Liang Zhichao looked confused.

However, the two girls who had come over to chat with him turned around and glared at Zhai Yuan with some anger.

Zhai Yuan turned a blind eye and continued talking to Liang Zhichao.

"One more thing. Please ask around in your estate if there is anyone willing to rent out a public housing unit, preferably a townhouse."

"Brother Yuan is planning to move?"

“Have you ever seen anyone move from public housing to public housing?”

Zhai Yuan felt that Liang Zhichao had a mental problem and gave up the idea of asking him to help him buy equipment again.

"Okay, I'll ask for you when I get home from school."

"Let's go now. It's not like you haven't skipped classes before. I just have to go to the electronics mall. I'll take a taxi to take you back to the housing estate first."

Liang Zhichao said in embarrassment: "Brother Yuan, the graduation exam is only two months away, I want to review my lessons more."

Zhai Yuan was startled: "Is that something you should consider?"
