Liu Wenhao frowned; he hadn't really thought about this question.
“Because the higher-ups felt that the school’s atmosphere was too bad and needed to be rectified,” Zhao Mingxuan continued. “And Chen Gang’s arrival was itself a signal.”
"What signal?"
"A signal for reform." Zhao Mingxuan pushed up his glasses. "However, it seems that this reform has encountered resistance."
Liu Wenhao understood what he meant: "You mean, there will be even tougher measures?"
"Smart." Zhao Mingxuan nodded. "As far as I know, the Municipal Education Bureau is already considering sending a working group to the school. At that point, it won't be as simple as just Chen Gang."
Liu Wenhao was deep in thought.
If what Zhao Mingxuan said is true, then his current actions are indeed somewhat reckless.
"So what's your suggestion?" Liu Wenhao asked.
“Cooperation,” Zhao Mingxuan stated his purpose. “You have military power, I have wisdom and information channels. By joining forces, we can both protect our existing interests and deal with the impending crisis.”
“Sounds good,” Liu Wenhao nodded, “but I have a question.”
"What questions?"
"Why do you want to cooperate with me? Logically speaking, the student council and people like us should be on the opposite side."
Zhao Mingxuan laughed: "Who says that students in the student council are necessarily good students?"
This statement made Liu Wenhao re-evaluate the refined and gentle boy in front of him.
"You can't imagine the power the student union has," Zhao Mingxuan said in a low voice. "Exam arrangements, scholarship allocations, recommendation letter reviews—all of these are in our hands."
Chapter 1154: Mind!
"So you also have your own businesses?" Liu Wenhao understood.
"Of course. And it's much bigger than your protection money business," Zhao Mingxuan said smugly. "It's just that we do it more discreetly."
Liu Wenhao had to admit that Zhao Mingxuan was indeed very intelligent.
"So, how exactly will we cooperate?" Liu Wenhao asked.
“It’s very simple. You continue to manage your military affairs, and I’ll handle foreign relations and information gathering,” Zhao Mingxuan said. “When a crisis occurs, we’ll work together to deal with it.”
How will the profits be distributed?
"We'll split it 40/60, I get 40% and you get 60%," Zhao Mingxuan readily agreed. "After all, the use of force is riskier."
Liu Wenhao felt that the suggestion was fairly fair.
Moreover, in the long run, having a smart partner is indeed a good thing.
"make a deal."
The two shook hands.
Just then, Li Hao ran over in a panic: "Something terrible has happened! Wang Lei has been beaten up!"
"What?" Liu Wenhao stood up. "What's going on?"
"I heard they're from another school," Li Hao said breathlessly. "Students from No. 1 Middle School, saying they want to settle scores with you!"
Zhao Mingxuan pushed up his glasses: "It seems the trouble is coming sooner than I thought."
Liu Wenhao sneered: "Perfect, I also want to see the outside world."
After school in the afternoon, Liu Wenhao, along with Li Hao and several of his men, arrived at the school gate.
Sure enough, a group of students wearing the school uniform of No. 1 Middle School were waiting there.
The leader was a boy with dyed red hair and an arrogant expression.
"You're Liu Wenhao?" The red-haired youth sized him up. "I heard you're quite the fighter?"
"Who are you?" Liu Wenhao asked.
"My name is Zhang Meng, the top dog at No. 1 High School," the red-haired boy grinned. "I've come here today to meet you."
"Why?" Liu Wenhao knew things weren't that simple.
"Because you touched someone you shouldn't have." Zhang Meng's expression darkened. "Wang Lei is my man, how dare you touch him?"
Liu Wenhao suddenly realized.
It turns out Wang Lei has this other connection.
"Wang Lei and I had a fair competition; I didn't use excessive force," Liu Wenhao explained.
"A fair competition?" Zhang Meng sneered. "You make him lose face in front of the whole school, and you call that fair?"
It seems Zhang Meng is here to cause trouble.
Liu Wenhao stopped wasting words and asked, "So what do you want?"
“It’s simple.” Zhang Meng cracked his knuckles. “You fight me. If you win, all is well. If you lose, you’ll kneel down and apologize to Wang Lei.”
"Okay." Liu Wenhao agreed without hesitation.
The two men set up their fighting stances in the open space in front of the school.
More and more students gathered to watch, and even some passersby stopped to see what was going on.
Zhang Meng is indeed quite strong, stronger than Wang Lei.
However, compared to Chen Gang, he is still far inferior.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Meng lay on the ground.
"Is there anyone else who disagrees?" Liu Wenhao looked around at the students of No. 1 High School.
No one answered.
"From now on, students from No. 1 Middle School and No. 2 Middle School will keep to themselves," Liu Wenhao announced his rule. "But if anyone provokes us, don't blame me for being impolite."
When he returned to school, Zhao Mingxuan was already waiting for him.
"Well done," Zhao Mingxuan said with a smile, "but this is just the beginning."
"What do you mean?"
"There's an even bigger force behind No. 1 Middle School," Zhao Mingxuan said mysteriously. "You've defeated Zhang Meng, but they won't let this go."
Chapter 1155 Surveillance!
Liu Wenhao shrugged it off: "I'll deal with as many as they come."
“Force is not a panacea.” Zhao Mingxuan shook his head. “There are some things that fists cannot solve.”
He's right.
The next day, Liu Wenhao tasted the bitter fruit.
First, his homeroom teacher talked to him, saying that some parents had complained that he had been fighting outside of school.
Then the head of the grade warned him to be careful about the impact.
In the end, even the principal personally intervened.
"Liu Wenhao, I heard you've been quite active lately?" The principal was an old man with gray hair who looked very kind, but his eyes were sharp.
“Principal, I was only acting in self-defense,” Liu Wenhao explained.
"Self-defense?" The principal laughed. "Fighting at the school gate is self-defense?"
Liu Wenhao knew someone was plotting against him, but he couldn't find any evidence.
"No matter what, this incident has had a very negative impact," the principal said. "The school has decided to give you a demerit."
"A demerit?" Liu Wenhao frowned.
"Of course, if you can truly repent, the punishment can be considered for revocation," the principal said meaningfully.
As Liu Wenhao walked out of the principal's office, his face was grim.
He realized that relying solely on force would not get him far.
"How did it go?" Zhao Mingxuan was waiting for him at the door.
“You’re right,” Liu Wenhao said with a wry smile. “Force isn’t everything.”
“But don’t worry too much.” Zhao Mingxuan patted his shoulder. “It’s just a demerit, not expulsion. And I’m already thinking of a solution.”
"any solution?"
“Since they’re playing dirty tricks, we’ll play dirty tricks too.” Zhao Mingxuan pushed up his glasses, a sly glint in his eyes. “Do you know who those parents who complained about you are?”
Liu Wenhao shook his head.
“The parents of those students at No. 1 Middle School,” Zhao Mingxuan said, “they joined forces to put pressure on the school.”
"What should I do?"
“It’s simple, we’ll contact the parents too.” Zhao Mingxuan laughed. “Do you think the position of student council president is just for show? I have detailed information on all the parents of students in the school.”
Liu Wenhao understood his meaning: "You want to fight back?"
“It’s not a counterattack, it’s about maintaining balance,” Zhao Mingxuan corrected. “The art of politics is about maintaining balance.”
Sure enough, a week later, Liu Wenhao's disciplinary action was revoked.
The principal wrote on the notice of revocation, "After education, the student has deeply realized his mistake, and it has been decided to give him a chance to correct it."
"Got it," Zhao Mingxuan said smugly. "See? Now you know how important a brain is, right?"
Liu Wenhao had to admit that he had made the right choice in selecting this partner.
Just when Liu Wenhao thought everything was on the right track, trouble came knocking again.
This time, it didn't come from outside the school, but from within.
"Li Hao's been acting strange lately." Zhao Mingxuan bought two bottles of soda at the convenience store, handing one to Liu Wenhao. "Have you noticed?"
Liu Wenhao thought about it and realized that Li Hao had indeed been acting mysteriously lately, and the number of his subordinates was decreasing.
"What do you think he's trying to do?" Liu Wenhao asked.
"What else can he do?" Zhao Mingxuan sneered. "He just wants to be the boss again, that's all."
Liu Wenhao was not surprised.
From the very beginning, he knew that his cooperation with Li Hao was merely a stopgap measure.
I just didn't expect him to reveal his true colors so quickly.
"Do you have any evidence?"
“There is some evidence,” Zhao Mingxuan said, taking a piece of paper from his bag. “This is a screenshot from last night’s surveillance footage.”
Chapter 1156 Threat!
Liu Wenhao looked at the photo and saw that Li Hao was talking to several strangers, and they looked very close.
"Who are these people?"
“A student from a vocational school,” Zhao Mingxuan said. “And not just any student, but the boss over there.”
Liu Wenhao frowned.
Vocational school students are generally older, and many of them are hoodlums.
If Li Hao really joins forces with them, then he is indeed a threat.
“There’s something even more interesting.” Zhao Mingxuan pulled out another photo. “Take a look at this.”
In the photo, Li Hao is handing money to a middle-aged man.
"Who is this person?" Liu Wenhao asked.
“Chen Gang’s assistant, Teacher Zhang,” Zhao Mingxuan said smugly. “It seems that our classmate Li not only wants to deal with you, but also wants to bring Chen Gang back.”
Liu Wenhao sneered.
It turns out that Li Hao planned to work together from the inside and outside to bring him down in one fell swoop.
