I am a dragon

Upon hearing this, my anger instantly surged from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.

I never imagined that the seemingly refined university vice-president would turn out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing, a hypocritical and sanctimonious scoundrel.

At that moment, I was furious and wished I could rush in right now and teach him a lesson in manners with my fists.

But I held back the next second.

Don't act impulsively!

I am a convict, and he is a university president. Without solid evidence, who would believe me?

In a flash, a bold idea suddenly popped into my mind: Zhao Guoqiang's target was never Lin Fang, but Jiang Ruxue.

Jiang Ruxue has become a piece of Tang Monk's flesh, and Zhao Guoqiang wants to take a bite.

No, I absolutely won't allow it!

But this matter cannot be handled recklessly.

"Ahem, we've finally arrived." I deliberately took a few steps back, then muttered to myself, my voice neither too loud nor too soft, enough for Zhao Guoqiang in the office to hear.

"Knock knock knock".

I knocked on the door.

"Enter."

I pushed open the door, my face already showing the same expression as before.

Zhao Guoqiang had already sat back down at the back of his office. Seeing me come in, he asked, "What's the matter?"

Although I really wanted to punch him, I pretended to be flustered.

"Principal Zhao, I left my cell phone in your office."

"Really?" Zhao Guoqiang seemed not to believe me, staring into my eyes, trying to find a flaw.

My heart was pounding, but I didn't give myself away at all.

Zhao Guoqiang asked, "Are you Teacher Jiang's cousin?"

"I am her husband's cousin," I corrected him.

Zhao Guoqiang paused, then said, "That must be President Lin's younger brother. I heard President Lin has disappeared and owes a lot of money. Now he's pushing a woman to the forefront, haha, what do you think?"

I didn't know why I asked that question, so I replied casually, "I'm not too sure about that either, but my cousin and his wife have a very good relationship, and I believe my cousin will appear soon."

A cold glint flashed in Zhao Guoqiang's eyes, then he smiled and said, "Feelings can't put food on the table."

"I have no feelings, I don't even want to eat."

I gave them a soft rebuff.

Zhao Guoqiang didn't say anything, and I took my phone and went outside.

After leaving the administration building, I saw Jiang Ruxue waiting for me ahead, so I jogged a few steps.

Lin Fang has disappeared, and Jiang Ruxue is extremely anxious but helpless. She is in very poor spirits.

"Sister-in-law, this Teacher Zhao is very concerned about your situation. He asked around through a friend and even got you a leave of absence."

I shifted the topic to Zhao Guoqiang.

"He was my teacher. After I graduated from university and returned to the school, he became the vice principal."

"He must have a wife and children, right?"

"Yes, his wife is studying abroad with their child." Jiang Ruxue stopped and tilted her head to ask me, "Why are you asking this?"

"I'm just curious. He's just a school principal, how does he have such great abilities and know some big shots in the underworld?"

"Zhao Guoqiang has many friends in society. Last year, a female student from the school got into trouble with some people from the underworld, and it was Zhao Guoqiang who stepped in to resolve the issue."

"He really is quite capable."

I felt uneasy. If he had his eye on Jiang Ruxue, could she escape his grasp?

With Lin Fang away, I'm just a small property management office employee. How can I possibly compete with him?

Ghost Hand Li once said that he was from Miancheng, and he would definitely be willing to help me, but he is currently in prison, so it's beyond his reach.

Back in the neighborhood, just as I entered my home, Zhou Mingyuan called.

"Lu Feng, come to the property management office immediately." After saying that, he slammed the phone down.

I had no idea what kind of trouble he was up to this time, so I told Jiang Ruxue and then went to the property management office.

Upon entering the health consultation room, Zhou Mingyuan said sarcastically, "Dr. Lu is back. You've been elusive lately, rarely seen."

"My affairs are none of your business." I was already in a bad mood, and his sarcastic remarks only made me more furious.

"Manager Zhou can't control you, but I certainly can, right?"

Director Du walked in with a gloomy face.

He was a leader at Jinhai Property Management Company, so I greeted him, "Hello, Director Du."

Director Du was unmoved and said curtly, "It's an honor that you still know I'm a director."

I looked at Director Du and said, "Director Du, I don't understand what you mean."

Director Du sneered and said, "You should be very familiar with the company's rules and regulations. Taking leave requires approval from a superior. Who gave you permission to be absent for two or three days?"

A director-level figure like Zhou Mingyuan coming all the way here to check if I'm vacant; it's obvious he's behind this.

But I'm not afraid.

"I've already taken leave."

"Who did you ask for leave from?"

"Mr. Xu."

Director Du's face immediately darkened again, and he pointed his finger at my nose: "Don't try to intimidate me with President Xu. Let me tell you, it won't work!"

I explained, "Director Du, you've misunderstood. I wasn't using General Manager Xu to pressure you; I really did ask General Manager Xu for leave."

Director Du said, "First, it's against regulations for you to ask for leave without going through your superiors. Second, General Manager Xu doesn't oversee the service department, so asking General Manager Xu for leave won't work."

Indeed, the company has very detailed regulations regarding leave. I suppressed my anger again and said, "According to company regulations, two days' wages will be deducted for each day of absence. Just follow the regulations; I have no objections."

Zhou Mingyuan sneered, "Deduct wages? You're oversimplifying things."

I suppressed my emotions and said, "You're not thinking of firing me, are you?"

"That's right!"

Director Du looked at me and said, "You have violated company rules multiple times, and I have applied to the company to dismiss you."

Zhou Mingyuan gloated, "Lu Feng, you have no education, no skills, and you're a convict. In my opinion, the company shouldn't have hired you. By firing you now, the company will be rid of a bad apple."

He brought up the labor camp inmates again!

The anger I'd been holding in for the past few days was instantly ignited and was about to explode.

Just then, I heard the sound of high heels outside the door, and I knew immediately that it was Xu Lanya.

Sure enough, Xu Lanya walked in.

"Let's see who wants to fire Lu Feng!"

Xu Lanya kept a straight face and exuded a powerful aura.

Seeing Xu Lanya, I breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Lanya is the company's vice president, holding a high position and great power. Even a lowly Director Du wouldn't dare to act presumptuously in front of her.

Little did I know, I was wrong this time.

Director Du, feeling emboldened, said, "President Xu, Lu Feng violated the rules, and I was just handling it impartially. Besides, this is the boss's decision. You wouldn't want to embarrass the boss over a mere property manager, would you?"

The "big boss" that Director Du mentioned is the general manager of Jinhai Property Management Company. The "big boss" probably doesn't even know that I exist in the community's property management company, so why would he personally fire me?

Xu Lanya frowned slightly, then suddenly stared at Zhou Mingyuan, her gaze sharp as a knife: "Zhou Mingyuan, what were you stirring up at the company this time?"
