Young Master Gao? Call me Little Grand Secretary!

"Xu Qing?" Gao Zhao looked completely bewildered. Who was this? Did he even know him?

Gao Zhao blinked, he really had no recollection of the name!

Seeing this, Chen Dong quickly explained, "It's about that person I brought with me last time who asked you for money..."

"Oh!" Gao Zhao exclaimed, slapping his thigh. "That's the guy who got into a brothel and ended up borrowing money from loan sharks at the casino!"

Chen Dong's lips twitched, somewhat embarrassed, and he said guiltily, "This is all my fault. I didn't see his true character before bringing people to find you!"

"Sigh! Never mind, you mean well!" Gao Zhao sighed softly, waving his hand in a magnanimous gesture, and then asked, "How does he plan to get revenge on me? What's his plan?"

Chen Dong shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I don't know either. I just overheard him talking badly about you to someone the other day. I was furious and argued with him. He got angry and said he wanted to take revenge on you. I could tell from his expression that he meant it!"

Gao Zhao wasn't scared at all; instead, she asked curiously, "What does he resent me for? Is it because I didn't lend him money? If he wants to blame anyone, he should blame those who pressured him to pay back the debt! If he can blame all of that on me, isn't that bullying an honest person?"

"It's not because of that..." Chen Dong's expression was somewhat strange, as if he found it difficult to speak, looking hesitant. After a moment's hesitation, he finally said, "He's resentful that you called that Xiangnu girl a... prostitute..."

Gao Zhao: "..."

A silence fell between the two of them, and they remained stunned for a full five breaths without saying a word!

Gao Zhao opened his mouth, but really didn't know what to say!

He's a worldly man!

I've also seen people who are afraid of hating evil but harsh in criticizing good!

But he really didn't expect that Xu Qing would hate him for this reason; it was truly unbelievable!

Holy crap!

She really is different!

Gao Zhao now had only one thought: to meet that Miss Xiang Nu and see what kind of extraordinary woman she was!

"How was the money Xu Qing owed resolved?"

Chen Dong shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but I heard that he borrowed money from someone else to pay off the previous loan!"

Good, good, they've even started using loans to pay off other loans!

Xu Qing's life is ruined!

As for taking revenge on me, haha, he really doesn't know the true value of this young master's invincible strength!

This Biyong has forcibly pulled us into the student class. Everyone seems to be of the same status, but it has made some people forget that once we leave Biyong and return to our own social class, we are not from the same world at all!

Revenge? What a joke!

What you consider revenge is nothing more than an ant trying to shake a tree in my eyes!

"Brother Shaoyang, I appreciate your kind words!" Gao Zhao bowed in thanks, then added after a moment's thought, "However, I believe that people like Xu Qing are still a minority, so we shouldn't take them to heart, nor should we let a small incident deter us from further learning. If any classmates need help, please let me know, and I will do my utmost to help!"

"My virtuous brother is truly a kind and benevolent person!" This was the second time Chen Dong had heard him say such a thing, and he was even more moved!

Sometimes you have to admit that when noblemen with a kind heart are willing to do good deeds, their effects far surpass those of ordinary people.

Gao Zhao found his words reasonable and forgave his previous impudent remarks. He smiled slightly and said, "The debate before the Emperor is about to begin. Brother Shaoyang is being given high expectations, so I will not disturb you any longer and will take my leave now!"

"Brother, please be more careful!" Chen Dong added, then bowed and took his leave.

When Gao Zhao returned to his quarters, he heard a great commotion as everyone was selecting candidates for the debate on the scriptures, creating a lively atmosphere.

Zhai Yu smiled and said, "This time, we might listen in on the debate before the Emperor. Anyone who wants to go can register at the meeting place. We'll handle the procurement and share the costs..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gao Zhao entered. Zhai Yu knew of his close relationship with Qin Hui and, fearing he might misunderstand, hurriedly explained, "Huizhi is good at dealing with people, so I put him in charge of this matter..."

Gao Zhao is no longer the same person he once was; he is now an educated man. He said calmly, "Confucius said: 'When I was young, I was poor, so I was skilled in many menial tasks!' What Confucius could do, he can naturally do too. It's nothing special!"

After saying that, he walked inside, leaving everyone looking at each other awkwardly.

In the past, people often looked down on doing such mundane and trivial things, but seeing that Qin Hui was good at it, they let him handle it, while secretly despising and looking down on him.

Unexpectedly, Gao Zhao used an anecdote about Confucius in his youth to speak in defense of Qin Hui, leaving everyone speechless!

Qin Hui lowered his head, pursed his lips tightly, gripped the pen with his fingers, his fingertips turning slightly white, and felt a lump of air stuck in his chest, making it hard for him to breathe!

He hadn't known Gao Zhao for long, but this classmate had spoken up for him on several occasions, encouraged him when he was despondent, and treated him to a meal when he saw his poverty.

Now that he knows he is in a difficult situation, he does menial tasks such as statistics and purchasing for others, and then he uses Confucius to speak for him!

Indeed, even Confucius had to engage in menial tasks when he was young, let alone me, Qin Hui!

I will never forget this kindness when I achieve great success in the future!

……

[Gratitude points from Qin Hui +1]

Gao Zhao stared blankly at the pop-up window that flashed before his eyes, completely bewildered!

What did I do?

Is Qin Hui insane?!

Why would you lose gratitude points for no reason?

And you even lose skills along with them? Are you really that moved?

Gao Zhao immediately realized that this couldn't go on!

If I do this a few times, Qin Hui will probably consider me a close friend. What will become of my reputation then?

Gao Zhao sat down blankly, trying to recall how he had gotten to this point!

My goal has always been to live a life of extravagance, debauchery, and immorality.

In order to improve his quality of life, he did good deeds everywhere, and then Gao Qiu cut off his living expenses!

Of course, with his intelligence and talent, he earned his first pot of gold in life, and then used 80,000 strings of cash to buy the opportunity to study at the Imperial Academy, and that's when he met Qin Hui!

What happened next is easy to understand: with his upright character and honest nature, who wouldn't want to be close to someone like him!

Therefore, the root of all this trouble lies with Gao Qiu. If he hadn't cut off my living expenses, I wouldn't have ended up like this!

Oh dear! Gao Qiu has ruined me!

Gao Zhao was heartbroken and stamped his feet, beating his chest in grief!

After feeling frustrated, I picked myself up again. It's never too late to mend things.

It's best to have less contact with Qin Hui in the future!

Who are the people around me?!

Qin Hui was a great traitor, Lin Chong was a villain... Hmm, it's been so long since I've seen my sister-in-law!

Last time Lin Chong said that Fang Shi had spread rumors about him, he probably became suspicious of his sister-in-law, and her situation must be very difficult!

Sigh! Yesterday, when I returned to Biyong, I was only thinking about finding that old man and didn't even think about seeing her. I really shouldn't have!

I'll definitely go see her during my few days off!
