I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 424 He's still a child (4k)

Afternoon classes were mostly cancelled due to a parent-teacher meeting.

When Li Yan, Jiang Yingzhu, and Mei Mengqian returned to the classroom, Ye Hui was directing people to arrange the seats.

"Everyone, please clear the books off your desks and put them on the bookshelf at the back for now."

"Yang Xiong, take a few boys to the small supermarket and bring up the two cases of water I bought. Then put one bottle at each seat, and the extras are for you."

Yang Xiong immediately stood up, his gaze sweeping over the boys who had entered the classroom. He patted Zhu Gelin beside him.

"Old Zhu, are you coming or not? Two people can carry two cases of water, and we can get quite a share."

Zhu Gelin stood up to make room for him, "Ah Xiong, could you please address me differently?"

"Zhuge? Damn it, it feels like every time I call you that, you're just showing off." Yang Xiong's lips twitched.

Zhu Gelin said calmly, "Isn't that obvious? If I weren't pretending, why would I let people call me that?"

The two left the classroom and passed by Li Yan and his two companions who were entering the classroom.

Jiang Yingzhu returned to her seat and began organizing the books.

Mei Mengqian also organized it.

Li Yan doesn't need to tidy up; he basically doesn't keep any books on his desk.

"Li Yan, are you going to stay for the parent-teacher meeting later?" Mei Mengqian asked.

Before Li Yan could answer, Jiang Yingzhu spoke first:
"He definitely will."

Mei Mengqian nodded, "That's true. He's the class's academic representative. Besides the subject representatives, the academic representative is the only other person left in the class."

Seeing this, Jiang Yingzhu shook her head to correct her.

"He's just a figurehead; he doesn't do anything. He's only kept around to put on a show."

At this point, Jiang Yingzhu's handsome brows furrowed, and her phoenix eyes glanced sideways at Li Yan.

His face was full of disgust for showing off, simply because the person showing off wasn't himself.

Li Yan coughed and corrected, "What you said isn't quite right either. I'm just actively cooperating with the teacher. What if I have to speak on stage?"

"vomit!"

Jiang Yingzhu made a vomiting gesture and went to the back with Mei Mengqian to put the books away.

The bookshelves at the back are all open, so it's impossible for books to be stolen.

But there are exceptions.

During this joint exam, Li Yan noticed two teachers casually picking up a novel from behind them.

I looked at it for a while and then took it away.

After clearing her desk, Jiang Yingzhu looked around the classroom.

Since class is about to start and the parent-teacher meeting is about to begin,...

There were hardly any people in the classroom at the moment.

Jiang Yingzhu didn't want to watch from here; it would be too embarrassing.

She can't pretend to be innocent.

"Mengmeng, how about we go play on the playground?"

"it is good."

Li Yan didn't follow, but he didn't sit in the classroom either; instead, he went to the corridor to get some fresh air.

Not long after, Yang Xiong and Zhu Gelin returned carrying two large boxes of mineral water.

Standing in the corridor, Xiao Shuai took a look and realized it was C'estbon, which cost three yuan a bottle in the small supermarket.

If you encounter a shady shop, the price can go up to four yuan!

Damn, it's easier than robbing someone.

"Wow, a noble aquatic creature! I'll help you out. Let me try it and see if I can ascend to heaven on the spot after drinking it."

As Xiao Shuai spoke, he went to help move it.

Yang Xiong and Zhu Gelin looked tall, but they were still swaying unsteadily at this moment.

He just happened to be helping out and could also get a bottle for free.

Upon seeing this, Yang Xiong and Zhu Gelin simultaneously handed over the boxes they were carrying.

But they accidentally bumped into each other from the left and right, and with a jolt, the box slipped from their hands.

"Holy crap, don't break it!"

Xiao Shuai exclaimed in surprise, and Zhu Gelin and Yang Xiong also tensed up.

If the water bottle gets deformed or worn due to squeezing, the squad leader will be watching it like a hawk.

But then a pair of hands moved faster than the falling boxes, catching the two cases of bottled water that were about to crash down, one on each side.

The three were stunned for a moment, then recognized Li Yan and were shocked.

"No, what hexagonal warrior!"

Not only are they good at studying, but they are also physically strong.

Does he not go back to pile driving every day after school?
Xiao Shuai subconsciously thought, because he actually felt that the hand he often used to show off was the one he used to do so.

They're also quite strong!

Before they could react, Li Yan handed two cases of bottled water to Xiao Shuai.

"then."

Xiao Shuai subconsciously reached out, and then his arm sank, but he could still hold it steady with effort, his breathing even and extremely relaxed.

But the next moment, with a thud, another case of water was placed on top.

Xiao Shuai's arm trembled, he gritted his teeth, held his breath, and exerted even more force.

You have to hold your breath to stay calm.

"Okay, you go in."

Li Yan spoke naturally, as if he were helping Xiao Shuai complete a task, showing no sign that he was struggling.

Yang Xiong and Zhu Gelin exchanged a glance, nodded, and walked into the classroom.

Xiao Shuai, holding his breath, went to the podium, plopped down, and casually put down the water bottle.

"Seriously, handsome? It's just two cases of water. We climbed five floors to get like this, and you can't even manage a few steps?"

Yang Xiong glanced at Xiao Shuai and clicked his tongue, "You should go to Taoist temples less often."

"Are one box and two boxes the same level?"

Xiao Shuai rolled his eyes, feeling the trembling in his arm muscles, and felt that these two boxes of water were heavier than two normal boxes.

"Stop babbling and get your dad a bottle of water."

"Go away, take it yourself. We still need to get water."

Li Yan stood outside watching as the arrangements inside the classroom were gradually finalized.

Like a ruthless overseer.

Before long, as the school bell rang, the number of electric bikes and motorcycles at the school gate gradually increased.

Parents walked into the school.

Some people came on foot, while others probably parked their cars further away.

Of course, most people arrive on foot.

Li Yan saw Qin Ning standing at the door acting as a guide.

He nodded to himself; this was indeed a very good way to find out information about the parents.

At the same time, he glanced in the direction of the administration building.

There, Zhu Gelin was remotely directing Qin Ning through an earpiece.

"Ningzi, have any parents arrived?"

Qin Ning's voice was a little dry, clearly indicating nervousness.

"Not yet, the parent-teacher meeting doesn't start until 2:30, it's not time yet."

"I saw some people already coming into the school; they're probably going to take a look around."

Zhu Gelin pushed up his glasses. "Based on my estimation, you can practice with other parents first. Zhang Keke's parents shouldn't be the first to arrive."

"After all, Zhang Keke is moving up a grade today, and her parents may not be familiar with the locations in our class."

"I understand, Brother Zhu."

"Damn it! Call me Zhuge!"

"Oh."

Around Zhu Gelin, a group of boys including Xiao Shuai, Ye Daijia, and others gathered together, all with expressions of watching a good show.

As one of the initial promoters, Wang Hui stood beside Zhu Gelin and whispered:
"Zhuge, are you sure you can guide Qin Ning to build a good relationship with Zhang Keke's parents?"

"Who cares? Even if we don't play well, what's the worst that can happen?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Ning's panicked voice came through the receiver.

"Oh no, a parent is here! Listen to me, tell me how I'm supposed to train."

He had barely finished speaking, and before Zhu Gelin could even reply, a strong, mature male voice asked:

"Hello, young student, is this the classroom of Class 1, Grade 11?"

"Yes, yes," Qin Ning replied nervously. "May I ask who you are?"

"Oh ho ho, I'm Zhang Keke's dad, Zhang Guotao. Keke is transferring classes today, and I was afraid of making a mistake, so I came early."

boom--!
Qin Ning felt as if his two halves of his brain were Hiroshima and Nagasaki that had been blown up.

"Zhang Keke's father?"

"Yes, what's wrong? Isn't Zhang Keke in this class? She said she moved up a grade, is she lying to me!?"

The man involuntarily frowned, while Qin Ning was even more terrified, waving her hands repeatedly upon hearing this.

On the other side, Zhu Gelin and the others who heard these words were also exclaiming in disbelief!
"Old Zhu, you're going to kill someone!"

"Zhuge, I can't really call you by that name anymore. I'll just call you Old Zhu."

"How can that be? You must trust my extraordinary wisdom and judgment!"

Zhu Gelin clenched his fist, never expecting that a mere piece of advice would affect his image in the class.

"Qin Ning is just nervous at most, nothing serious. Zhang Keke's father doesn't sound like he's being unreasonable."

"And then again, he's still a child."

Upon hearing this, not only Wang Hui and the others, but even Li Yan felt that it made a lot of sense.

The next moment, Qin Ning greeted Zhang Guotao in a panic:
"Hello Dad, I'm Zhang Keke."

"Oh no, no, I meant 'hello dad,' no, I mean 'your dad,' oops!"

Zhang Guotao looked at Qin Ning with an embarrassed expression, then his gaze quietly shifted to Li Yan, who was watching the commotion from the side.

Hopefully, this student who seems to have excellent grades can be saved.

I'm speechless. I just came out for a bit and someone called me "Dad".

Should we give them a red envelope?

On the other end of the receiver, Zhu Gelin and the others were completely dumbfounded.

What is Qin Ning saying? Is he even speaking human language?
Could it be that his target wasn't Zhang Keke at all, but rather Zhang Keke's father?
Just then, Qin Ning's voice rang out, as if he had finally straightened things out.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang Guotao, I am Zhang Keke."

Zhang Guotao was speechless. Goodness, I've become my dad.

"Hahahaha! I'm dying of laughter, Zhang Guotao's dad?! Hahahaha!"

Beside Zhu Gelin, Wang Hui burst into unprofessional laughter.

He laughed as he moved away from Zhu Gelin, seemingly afraid of affecting Qin Ning on the other side.

Xiao Shuai, Ye Daijia, Yu Bin, and others, however, had no such concerns and laughed like geese.

"Holy crap! I'm about to die! Hahaha!" Xiao Shuai clutched his stomach. "I'll remember being called 'Dad' by Zhang Guotao for the rest of my life."

Zhu Gelin shrugged, desperately trying to suppress his voice.

Qin Ning was not paying attention to what was being said in the earphone at that moment.

All I know is that I said the wrong thing again.

Zhang Guotao coughed twice, finding it somewhat difficult to communicate with this young student.

He looked at Li Yan beside him.

"Handsome young man, which seat is Zhang Keke in?"

Li Yan smiled naturally, "Uncle, come in, the one next to the podium is him."

When Zhang Guotao entered the classroom, Ye Hui, who was tidying her desk, saw that he had found a seat and didn't say anything more.

Like the three classmates who stayed behind to handle some errands, she couldn't help but laugh at this moment.

However, the thought of what might happen to the other parents who would be coming along raises concerns.

Then it wouldn't be Qin Ning who's funny.

So Ye Hui immediately walked to the window near the corridor and said to Li Yan outside:
"Li Yan, could you help guide us?"

Li Yan glanced at her and nodded.

"can."

After agreeing, he stood next to Qin Ning and patted the guy on the shoulder.

"Go in and entertain them, and take the opportunity to apologize to them."

"Well, I see."

Qin Ning awkwardly dug his toes into the ground, wishing he could dig out a school.

If his family's financial situation allowed, he would prefer to change schools.

Sure enough, the woman's parents were terrifying; Qin Ning felt ashamed to face them.

He can't even speak properly.

As time passed, one parent after another entered the classroom.

Nobody knows Li Yan, but if you bring it up to them, you'll find that he's the top student in his grade.

Maybe these people will still remember.

But Li Yan did not do that.

It's too deliberate, after all.

During this process, Li Yan naturally encountered Old Li and his wife, who arrived at the perfect time, as well as Ye Qian.

“Those three seats are for me, Zhuzhu, and Mengmeng. Mom, Dad, Aunt Ye, please make yourselves at home.”

"well."

Old Li and his wife went inside and sat down. Some parents who remembered Old Li greeted them.

For example, the parents of Yu Qingya and several others sitting behind Li Yan.

"Dad Li Yan, so that handsome young man standing at the door greeting people is your child? He's really good-looking."

Old Li smiled slightly, looking completely calm and composed.

"Hehe, you flatter me. That kid is just average."

Seeing this, Ms. Fang, who was sitting next to Lao Li, rolled her eyes.

Your smugness is practically slapping someone in the face.

"Just so-so? You really don't have the demeanor of a boss at all."

Just then, Lin Yufan's mother patted Ms. Fang and asked curiously:
"I just heard Li Yan call you 'Mom,' why are you all here together?"

"Oh, I'm here to attend a meeting on behalf of a neighbor's child's parent."

Ms. Fang remained calm.

"Oh, I see. This student must be very outstanding to be sitting next to Li Yan."

Ms. Fang remained calm, this time without even a change in her tone.

"I'm only around seventh or eighth in the class, it's alright."

“I think I’m already doing very well; how can I compare to your child?”

Upon hearing this, Ms. Fang remained calm and humble.

Old Li, standing nearby, couldn't bear to look at him; that face was truly disgusting.

His smugness was almost overwhelming.

Men are more open-minded and don't care about trivial things like comparing grades.

"Brother Ye, do you fish sometimes?"

Ye Hui's father, who joined the conversation, smiled.

"I only play around occasionally, haha. My daughter takes care of everything at home, which is why she only got fifth place in her grade this time. It's really my fault."

Old Li nodded. "Then you are indeed wrong. Look, I'm still working now."

Ye Qiushan glanced at Lao Li and wondered to himself, "Can I really be like an ordinary office worker?"
"What does Brother Li do?"

"Hey, I'm just doing some small business. You know Xiao Li's fried skewers? My brother and I just mess around with this."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiushan was immediately startled.

This food chain, which originated in Huangcheng, spread throughout the city and covered the entire province in six months, now has stores all over the country.

How could he not know?

I heard that Qiqi Company is also investing in it.

As a result, countless investors who had originally intended to invest have backed down.

It's not that I don't want to, it's just that nobody has as much money as Qiqi Company!
Ye Qiushan heard that the Qiqi Group had a dedicated investment company.

He also longs to be invested in.

Unfortunately, his family business can only maintain its current state.

Fortunately, I recently had some contact with the 77 Research Base and made some progress.

Thinking about investing in business, Ye Qiushan unconsciously started talking about it with Lao Li.

"Brother Li is too modest. This is not just messing around. It's much better than what I, a country bumpkin from Huangcheng, can do."

"No, no, what's there to compare?" Old Li waved his hands repeatedly.

Li Yan estimated that if his tail hadn't degenerated, it could have turned into a propeller and flown.
