After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 371 Smashing the Shop
The leaders are going to a meeting.

Zhou Haoran naturally couldn't participate.

Anyway, having connections in the central government makes things easier.

He wanted to add fuel to the fire.

This is the Shaw Building.

Zhou Haoran called Dongfang Lang and told him to bring everyone he could and come over immediately.

It's summer vacation now.

The vast majority of undergraduate students and regular teachers are on holiday.

However, for master's and doctoral students, as well as some senior professors, there is no such thing as winter or summer vacation. They're always applying for funding and working on projects; if a project is interrupted for too long, they might simply forget about it.

So there are still many people on campus.

International students, in particular, will have to live on campus if they don't go home.

Dongfang Lang has a business, and he has more than a dozen friends who also come to the school to work every day.

Besides acting as a Lenovo computer reseller, I also want to take advantage of this summer vacation to renovate the coffee shop.

This summer, we aim to expand his coffee shop to four locations.

The original plan was for five companies.

But one family was deprived of it.

This classroom was obtained through an application in the Yifu Building.

The Yifu Building is arguably the busiest teaching building on campus. Students from all colleges come here for classes. Opening a coffee shop here could generate revenue equal to the combined revenue of several other coffee shops!

Because of its prime location, it attracted unwanted attention.

Dongfang Lang, panting, quickly ran over.

"Why are you the only one?"

Zhou Haoran waited for someone at the door, but didn't see his underlings.

Dongfang Lang said, "I've made contact, they're on their way here. What's up?"

Zhou Haoran asked, "I remember you said that you originally wanted to open a coffee shop in the classroom you applied for in the Yifu Building. But the student council took notice and it was turned into a small supermarket."

"What student council?" Dongfang Lang snorted. "The student council is nothing. What power do they have? They're just backed by a teacher from the Youth League Committee."

"That teacher..."

Zhou Haoran narrowed his eyes.

Dongfang Lang nodded. "Yes, I've found out everything. Her name is Zhang Zhiying. She's in charge of entrepreneurship for university students in the Youth League Committee. She's the niece of Vice Principal Zhang, who's in charge of logistics."

Zhou Haoran then asked, "According to school regulations, are teachers not allowed to open shops or do business on campus?"

“Teachers can open a shop and do business.” Dongfang Lang shook his head. “However, if you want to open a shop and do business, you have to rent a storefront, which costs tens of thousands a year.”

Zhou Haoran understood this principle: "The school classrooms are free!"

Dongfang Lang laughed and said, "That's right. Classrooms are a school resource and can be provided free of charge to college students who have ideas for starting businesses on campus. However, this policy only applies to current college students."

Zhou Haoran said in a deep voice, "So this classroom in the Yifu Building was applied for by you under the guise of starting a coffee shop. After the application was approved, it was taken away by the Youth League Committee teacher."

"Yes, that's right." Dongfang Lang sighed, quite helplessly. "Who has connections? If you can't beat them, just avoid them. You can't really fight back or anything."

Zhou Haoran said coldly, "Now the opportunity has come!"

"Ok?"

Dongfang Lang opened his eyes wide.

Zhou Haoran said firmly, "Take it back!"

"Let's go, the two of us will go first!"

Zhou Haoran took Dongfang Lang with him and they went to the classroom that had now been converted into a small supermarket.

The small supermarket is also undergoing renovations during the summer vacation.

Adjust the layout and place some new cabinets and shelves.

I hope to have better business after the next semester.

Who's in charge here?

Zhou Haoran stood at the door and started shouting loudly.

"Who are you looking for?"

A short while later, a young man in his early twenties walked over.

A boy with long hair and big eyes.

Zhou Haoran frowned. "Are you a student?"

The other person nodded. "Yes, I'm a master's student in civil engineering, here temporarily to supervise the construction... Is there anything I can help you with?"

"You work for Zhang Zhiying?"

Zhou Haoran was too lazy to beat around the bush with him.

"Hmm?" Upon hearing the name, the big-eyed master's student became more alert, looking at the two young men in front of him with suspicion. "What do you two want?"

Zhou Haoran said calmly, "Go contact Zhang Zhiying and tell her to come over immediately. If she doesn't come within five minutes, I'll smash up the shop!"

Dongfang Lang was startled.

The big-eyed master's student's expression changed slightly. "Students, don't do anything reckless. This is a school, and Teacher Zhang is a member of the Youth League Committee. If you do anything reckless, you will be expelled. If you have anything to say, you can talk to me first."

“You can’t handle this.” Zhou Haoran knew he was only there temporarily to help. “I suggest you contact Zhang Zhiying immediately, because my people are on their way. I’m going to start smashing up the shop in a bit.”

The other party dared not slack off and quickly went to contact someone.

Dongfang Lang then pulled Zhou Haoran aside and whispered, "Are you serious?"

"real!"

Zhou Haoran has decided to add fuel to the fire.

Dongfang Lang said worriedly, "Making a scene in the classroom will get you punished!" "As long as you don't get expelled," Zhou Haoran didn't seem to care. "When they get here, just tell them you'll take all the blame and let them do whatever they want. When the school punishes them, they'll only punish you."

Dongfang Lang smirked, "I hope I won't get expelled?"

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "No, I'm here."

Dongfang Lang said bitterly, "I'm really going to get punished!"

"Not necessarily. As long as your reasoning is sound, and this is a forced counterattack under the pressure of those in power, I'll explain it to you again. Maybe you won't be punished."

Zhou Haoran thought to himself that this kid doesn't want to take the postgraduate entrance exam or work in the system, so it doesn't matter if he gets punished.

Dongfang Lang's eyes lit up. "The reasoning is definitely sound. We're on the moral high ground. Classrooms are a school resource and can be provided to students for free for commercial activities, but there's a major premise: these are non-profit commercial activities."

Zhou Haoran nodded. "This small supermarket is a genuine business operation."

Dongfang Lang laughed and said, "That's right. The school doesn't support students making money, but rather their self-development and the help they provide to other students. I run a coffee shop with such low prices. Providing students with affordable coffee helps them stay alert and focused while studying or attending classes, which is all positive feedback. The convenience store is different; it's all about making money."

"Fine, then we'll smash up the shop in a bit!"

Zhou Haoran needs to hurry.

If the city leaders leave soon, the desired effect won't be achieved.

Soon, Dongfang Lang's men arrived.

A dozen or so college students.

Weary from their journey.

Everyone was already feeling a bit frustrated. Their store was robbed, and recently even the computer orders from the school fell through... All of this points to Vice Principal Zhang Xuezhen. Who could tolerate this?
Now that Dongfang Lang wants to shoulder the responsibility, he'll just leave it at that!
Smash the shop!

"Don't hurt anyone, just smash the store! Kick all these cabinets down, move all the shelves... Damn it, this is outrageous!"

With a shout from Dongfang Lang.

The young people rushed in and started smashing things up.

"boom!"

A college student kicked a new cabinet at the cashier, creating a large hole in it.

The big-eyed master's student was terrified and quickly evacuated the classroom along with the other workers.

"Dude, this could lead to a huge disaster!"

The big-eyed master's student stomped his feet in frustration.

Zhou Haoran remained unmoved. "Where is Zhang Zhiying?"

"Teacher Zhang is on his way, you..." The big-eyed master's student was only there to supervise the workers' renovations; he was just a student and had never seen anything like this before. "If you do this, the consequences will be very serious!"

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "Just stay away, this has nothing to do with you."

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Stop it!"

A sharp female voice came from afar, and a woman wearing high heels was seen running towards them very quickly.

"Teacher Zhang, they're smashing up the shop!"

The big-eyed master's student found a lifeline.

Zhang Zhiying arrived in a hurry, her face covered in sweat. Standing at the door, she angrily said, "Who are you? Stop! Dongfang Lang... it's you! What do you want?"

Dongfang Lang glanced back at her and said calmly, "Smash it! Smash it as hard as you can!"

Zhang Zhiying nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. "Do you want to be fired?"

Dongfang Lang sneered, "You think you can just fire me like that? You're nothing! Just because you can cheat on someone, just because you're good in bed, just because you can attack from both sides and take on three at once?"

He's been in business for a long time.

He picked up the habits of the江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry).

He just blurts out these kinds of swear words.

When it comes to dealing with women, the most effective tactic is to spread lewd rumors.

Those renovation workers were all roughnecks.

Hearing this, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Zhang Zhiying stumbled and almost fainted from anger.

Zhou Haoran quickly came over, helped her up, and whispered, "Teacher Zhang, are you alright?"

"Call the security department! Call the security department!"

Zhang Zhiying thought he was one of her own.

Zhou Haoran glanced at the dumbfounded master's student next to him, intending to send him away, "Go quickly, listen to Teacher Zhang's instructions, call the protection department! Find someone to settle this!"

The big-eyed master's student panicked and quickly ran away.

I think this situation is too chaotic.

He can't afford to participate.

Zhou Haoran whispered, "Teacher Zhang, it seems that Dongfang Lang has some powerful backer. Otherwise, he might not have acted so impulsively today."

"What kind of backer does he have?!"

Zhang Zhiying didn't even glance at Zhou Haoran; her eyes were blazing as she stared at Dongfang Lang.

Zhou Haoran suggested, "Teacher Zhang, I just saw Principal Zhang. He seems to be having a meeting on the fourth floor. Why don't we go over there now and ask Principal Zhang to come out? Otherwise, when the security guards come later, they might not dare to arrest these thugs."

"Have you seen Principal Zhang?"

Zhang Zhiying's eyes lit up, and she turned to look at him.

The two were simply strangers to each other.

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Yes, I see it. It's on the fourth floor. Let's go over there!"

"Let's go!" Zhang Zhiying was just an ordinary Youth League teacher; she wasn't qualified to direct the work of the security department. This really needed her third uncle to step in. She pointed at Dongfang Lang and said, "You just wait!"

Then, together with Zhou Haoran, they went upstairs to find a backer.
