Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

After receiving Tang Tingting's order, Liu Feixiong called several martial arts school students to prepare to carry Zhang Chulan and the others away for treatment.

He had just brought the stretcher when he saw Zhou Fengliu appear beside him at some point.

"This poison was perfectly applied. Don't use it again next time; it won't kill me, and it's such a waste of ingredients..."

Zhou Fengliu patted Liu Feixiong on the shoulder, then led Chen Duo out of the cafeteria.

Looking in the direction Zhou Fengliu had left, Liu Feixiong silently swallowed.

Could it be... that everything has already been exposed?

This god of war... can't even kill someone with this dose of poison?

That's really strange.

...

After leaving the cafeteria, Zhou Fengliu, carrying the fruit slices he had bought for Tao Tao, prepared to visit her.

He first told Chen Duo to go back and rest, then inquired a little about Tao Tao's residence before taking some fruit to visit her.

At this moment, Tang Tingting also came out of the cafeteria. She was hiding in the shadows, secretly watching where Zhou Fengliu was going.

Although Zhou Fengliu had noticed her presence, he did not expose her, so her tracking went relatively smoothly.

here it is?

Teachers' dormitory?

What is he doing here, an outsider?

Could it be... that they have ulterior motives?

Tang Tingting frowned, sensing something was amiss, and thus she became even more cautious in following Zhou Fengliu.

The teacher living on this floor... I think it's Teacher Tao?

Could he be here to see Teacher Tao?

Did these two know each other before?

Just as Tang Tingting was making guesses in her mind, she saw Zhou Fengliu knocking on Tao Tao's dormitory door.

At this moment, Tao Tao was watching a drama in her dormitory and enjoying her hard-earned rest time.

She had just finished watching an episode and was feeling a bit hungry. Just as she was about to grab some snacks, she heard a knock on the door.

"Ok?"

Who will come looking for me?

Tao Tao opened the door with some confusion.

Zhou Fengliu standing outside the door was somewhat unexpected to her.

The moment she saw Zhou Fengliu, she instinctively took a half step back and covered her face with her hands.

It's clear that... after being confronted by Zhou Fengliu, she has become much more cautious.

"It's you... What are you doing here?"

Tao Tao cautiously kept two steps away from Zhou Fengliu and asked him a question.

Zhou Fengliu looked at Tao Tao's face in front of him.

Ok.

Although the person did not die, the swelling on their face did not seem to subside, making it appear as if one side of their face was larger than the other.

"I used a little too much force yesterday, so I brought some fruit to visit you."

Zhou Fengliu said that he was a man of principle. In order to take Tangmen's money with a clear conscience and to maintain his relationship with Tangmen and the company, he made a special trip to visit Tao Tao.

"Visiting me? Huh? Are you serious?"

Tao Tao was slightly taken aback when she heard this. She felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why.

She didn't seem to know Zhou Fengliu before, did she?

Why are you here to visit her?

Could there be something fishy going on here?

Tao Tao sensed something was wrong.

...

Is there something fishy going on?

That must be true.

Since ancient times, routines have always won people's hearts.

Zhou Fengliu's actions were a perfect example of a well-practiced strategy.

Although his visit to Tao Tao was intended to make it easier for him to take money from Tangmen and maintain the relationship between Tangmen and the company, he had to make sure that people saw and knew about it.

Who should we let know?

This person is clearly Tang Miaoxing, the leader of the Tang Clan.

Tang Miaoxing, who was not so deliberate in his actions, knew that he had made two preparations for this.

His first preparation was that he discovered Tang Tingting following him when he left the cafeteria.

He didn't expose Tang Tingting's stalking, but instead had her watch as a witness as he visited Tao Tao...

After all, Tang Tingting's grandfather is Tang Miaoxing, and he caused a stir in the cafeteria at noon. The news of his visit to Tao Tao must have reached Tang Miaoxing's ears.

This second preparation involved Tao Tao herself.

His unusual actions will surely make Tao Tao suspicious, and she will then talk about it with other teachers.

It's highly likely that this story eventually reached Tang Miaoxing's ears.

What benefit would Zhou Fengliu gain from this shady move?

Chapter 283 Tao Tao: Zhou Fengliu's Contrast is Extreme! (Second Update)

It wasn't really a benefit; it was more like trying to gain some personal advantage while visiting Tao Tao.

Once this news has fermented and spread within the Tang Clan to Tang Miaoxing, and then from there to Zhao Fangxu, then it will be considered beneficial.

Perhaps Zhao Fangxu, upon hearing that he was trying to maintain the company's relationship with the Tang Clan and successfully complete the mission...

He's been a teacher, and he's also been visiting Tao Tao, who was accidentally injured by his excessive force... He's made such a big sacrifice, so how can we not give him a bigger bonus?

This move is strikingly similar to the advice given to Rong Shan by Quanxing when they attacked the mountain, urging him not to write a letter of praise to the company.

They're all the kind of things where you know he seems to be doing it on purpose, but you just can't find fault with him.

Where does this unintentional feeling come from? It's probably because Zhou Fengliu has always been passive.

For example, the matter of becoming a teacher in the Tang Clan... He never mentioned it before; it was Tang Miaoxing, the former headmaster of the Tang Clan, who brought it up on his own initiative.

There's also the matter of visiting Tao Tao.

Although he accidentally hit the person with too much force, it was only because Tao Tao was instigated by a group of Tang Clan students who shouted, "Teacher Tao, please support our Tang Clan!" that the incident happened, and it wasn't really related to him.

At most, he merely fueled the flames, exaggerating his actions while downplaying his own inner thoughts when he did them.

This makes it seem like everything he does is for the company's benefit, and the leaders can't find fault with it.

As the saying goes, the elderly fight when they disagree, while the young scheme and plot against each other.

When it comes to scheming, Zhou Fengliu is no less cunning than Zhang Chulan, the leader of the Thirty-Six Scoundrels.

However, Zhang Chulan used all his cunning to protect Feng Baobao, while Zhou Fengliu used his cunning to pursue his own interests and advancement.

really...

I still want to improve too much.

Thinking about this, Zhou Fengliu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

...

Zhou Fengliu handed the fruit slice to Tao Tao, and then said:

"I am serious about visiting you. After all, we have no grudges against each other. I did go a bit too far yesterday."

"..."

Tao Tao raised an eyebrow upon hearing Zhou Fengliu's rather sincere answer.

Could it be... there really is no foul play?

Am I overthinking it?

Tao Tao stroked her chin, deep in thought.

While there's a saying that society is simple, but people are complicated... there's also a saying that sincerity is the ultimate weapon.

She seems to be overcomplicating things.

Eh.
