Li Tian fell asleep at some point during the bumpy ride.
A familiar voice came and brought him back to reality from his dream.
He turned to look out the window. Under the hot sunshine, the archway of Ping'an Town looked particularly dazzling.
After lazily slouching, he slowly stood up and walked straight to Zhong Mingxiu.
Then he spread his hands.
Seeing this, Zhong Mingxiu was confused. Was he asking her for something?
"What?"
"Funding, don't you need to pay for tasks?"
At this moment, Mingxiu was even more puzzled. Wasn't he given all the money at the beginning of the mission?
"Didn't the teaching assistant give you any money?"
"Yes, I gave it, but that was last time. I have already spent all the money. I will give you some more this time..."
When Li Tian arrived, he remembered that all his money had already been given to Gou Fugui. He came out of the academy in a hurry and was unprepared. Now he is penniless.
If you don’t have money, let alone find a place to live, you probably won’t even have food to eat.
Therefore, I could only shamelessly ask Zhong Mingxiu for more.
"There is only one mission fund, and there is no money this time. I have to think of a way on my own."
Seeing that he had run out of money, Zhong Mingxiu rejected his request without even thinking about it. Besides, the funds could only be allocated once. If it was given this time, it would be out of her own pocket.
"Hey, you won't give it, right?"
Li Tian did not expect Zhong Mingxiu to refuse so decisively.
I simply felt relieved and sat back to my original position.
"I won't go if you don't give it to me. Uncle, turn around and let's go back to the academy!"
It's just that what he saw in the next second was not Zhong Mingxiu's compromise, but Zhong Mingxiu looking at him with a stupid attitude.
Suddenly, he had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, the next moment, he flew out from the wide-open car door and beat him to pieces.
There is no doubt that he was thrown out by Zhong Mingxiu.
"Dry!"
Li Tian immediately stood up and wanted to run back to the car, but Zhong Mingxiu was already standing at the car door, blocking his way.
"I sent you the place. I don't care whether you do this task or not, but you are not allowed to return to the academy within the time limit, or I will kill you!"
After saying that, he turned back towards the Mediterranean Sea.
"Close the door! Go back to the academy!"
Li Tian was still messy in the sun, and the car quickly turned around and disappeared from his sight.
"..."
"It's okay to give fifty cents..."
Now, it seems that it is really difficult to move forward, Li Tian thought.
He turned back and looked at the familiar Ping'an Town in front of him. He didn't expect that he would be back in less than a day. He wanted to prepare well in the academy and then come back, but the academy wouldn't give him anything.
this opportunity.
Now, he could only enter Ping'an Town in confusion and take a step at a time.
And here we are in the car going back to the college.
Mediterranean smiled and looked in the rearview mirror above his head.
"Teacher Zhong, are you being too harsh on your students?"
When Zhong Mingxiu heard this, she just glanced at him and did not answer his question. She turned to look out the window. No one knew what she was thinking at the moment.
"After all, we are still children. For such a dangerous task, even if your college doesn't provide any help or some money, it's still a small thing. Look at this child who doesn't even have to eat at night. It's so pitiful."
Seeing that she ignored her, Mediterranean continued.
"Oh, you can't stand it, why don't you give me money? Isn't it possible that you can also sell me a favor? Isn't this your favorite thing to do?"
Zhong Mingxiu sneered and mocked the Mediterranean Sea.
"Hehe, this money cannot be reimbursed. Besides, I have a girl to support. I am extremely poor and there is nothing I can do to help..."
This wave in the Mediterranean can be said to be a vivid interpretation of human nature that stands on the moral high ground. He refuses to pay for it, but blames Zhong Mingxiu for his behavior.
"You will be the good guy, and I will be the bad guy. If you really want to win over Ling Yunzhi, you can send someone to complete Li Tian's task. Ling Yunzhi will definitely be very grateful to you."
Zhong Mingxiu smiled and gave him an idea.
"Don't be ridiculous. Who is Hou Qingbai? He is a fierce man with extraordinary abilities. It is not worthwhile to completely offend such a person just to please Ling Yunzhi. Besides, this Ping'an Town is his territory.
No matter how many people come here, they are just sending themselves to death."
"If you really want to talk about it, your college is quite ruthless and actually let students die again. However, this time there are fewer people, not as many as last time, but the nature is the same."
"You have learned to be smart. This time, you will select some students with little family background or talent. If you die, your death will be in vain, and no one can come to make trouble."
Mediterranean knows that Zhong Mingxiu just talks casually, but if they really want the Chou family to send people to do the task, that is simply nonsense.
They are businessmen, not idiots. Businessmen make investments at the right time. The current Ling Yunzhi is not worth offending a strong man who moved the mountains. What's more, the leader of this mission is still Li Tian, not
Ling Yunzhi.
"What nonsense are you talking about! This mission was sent by Lingyun City. What does it have to do with our college? Do you think we want to sacrifice students? Do you think we don't want to settle the matter?"
When Zhong Mingxiu heard what Mediterranean said, he immediately lost his composure.
This has escalated to the nature of the entire academy. If others heard what he said and thought that the academy deliberately sent students to die, no one would be willing to send their children to practice, and then there would be no strong future for Lingyun City.
In that war twenty years ago, there were internal and external troubles. If it weren't for the sacrifices of countless ancestors, the weak Lingyun City would have been annexed by Tiandou City.
In this world, strength is fundamental. It not only requires ancestors who sacrifice their lives for righteousness, but also needs successors.
"The moment they step into the academy, they are no longer ordinary people. They have a heavier burden than ordinary people, and they need to shoulder it in the future. The academy is their second home, but after leaving
College, they need to take control of their own destiny."
"Although the college's approach is cruel in the eyes of many people, it is also for their own good, and this is the first lesson the college wants to teach them."
"If they think that the college will protect them at all times, then they will no longer have a sense of crisis, and they will not go far in the future."
"Even if they die in the mission now, it would be better than dying in the future due to outside conspiracies."
After saying this, Zhong Mingxiu looked out the window as if in melancholy. The sunlight slanted through the car window and shone on her sunhat, hiding her face in the shadows.
If given a choice, who would sacrifice their children?
Mediterranean was noncommittal, but nodded his head as if in agreement.
If he really didn't agree with the college's education methods, why would he send his daughter to the college to practice?
"You are not afraid that these children will hate you in the future, especially this Li Tian. If he survives this time, I am afraid he will never forgive you for the rest of his life. Furthermore, Ling Yunzhi may not be able to truly integrate into your academy.
, is this the result you want to see?”
Zhong Mingxiu chuckled lightly.
"So what? As long as they are still citizens of Lingyun City, that's enough. Does the college need their gratitude?"
"You capitalists don't understand these things. You only know how to extract value from others."
"I don't know how long you Chou family can sit in this position with this approach. The princes and princes behind you are already watching with eager eyes."
In fact, there are many people like her who are unhappy with their family.
Twenty years ago, when the war was going on, the Chou family not only did not stop trade with Tiandou City, but intensified it to make money from the national crisis. This was also a disguised form of constantly sending money to the other party to use to beat their own people.
In the end, Lingyun City forcibly banned the transaction and stopped.
Just this move put the Chou family into complete darkness.
However, relying on his strong financial connections and connections, he has been sitting at the leading position of the chamber of commerce, and no matter how hard others try, he cannot be shaken, which shows his ability.
"Hahaha, Teacher Zhong, you really know how to joke. The Wanghou family is also friends with us. Our two families will get married soon. By then, we will be one family. There will be no more covetousness. We can all make money together.
"
Mediterranean couldn't help but feel happy when he heard Zhong Mingxiu's words.
Want to surpass Choujia? If you really had the ability to do so, wouldn't you have already done so already? What are you waiting for?
What's even better is that the Chou family has already made preparations for marriage. In fact, their choice earlier was to suppress the Wanghou family, but unexpectedly they learned about the heaven-defying cultivation of Ling Yunzhi, the Qilin son of the Wanghou family, a few years ago.
Talent, then changed the strategy.
After all, this world is about strength. If Ling Yunzhi really has the strength to turn everything around in the future, they will be in trouble.
It's not like the Chou family didn't want to directly avoid future troubles and kill Ling Yunzhi before he started practicing, but the Wanghou family was really protective. Before he went to school, they didn't let him go out alone, even if he went out.
There were a lot of bodyguards overtly and covertly, which made them helpless.
Then they get married. After the marriage, the two families will be bound together in the future.
With the power of the Chou family, it is too easy to persuade the prince family to marry. After all, the person they want to marry is not Ling Yunzhi.
Just let them push out a servant at random and marry their nominal illegitimate son, and that's it. Marriage is not the key, the most important thing is to make the publicity louder and make the whole Lingyun City know about it, that's it.
From now on, Ling Yunzhi can be regarded as someone who is on the side of their Chou family.
The current position of the Chou family is stable, that is because of the Chou family's heritage and the strength of the current head of the family.
In the future, they will be tied to the prince's family. Even if they worry that the family will have no heirs, once they have Lingyun Zhi, they will have the confidence to challenge the master's family of Lingyun City in the future.
The words "Mediterranean" made Zhong Mingxiu frown tightly.
She had not heard about the marriage.
If these two families are really tied together, then no one in Lingyun City can check and balance the Chou family except the Ling family, who is the master of the family. No, the status of the Ling family should be shaken.
"Congratulations to you. You will really be at the top of the list from now on. Then you will be able to help Lingtian Academy a lot in the future."
She could only hold back the words of congratulations.
I believe that many people do not want to see the Chou family gaining power.
"Hey, you are talking about helping or not, we and the college are also one family, Teacher Zhong is just being outsiders when he says that."
Mediterranean laughed so hard that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. Those who didn't know it thought he was in charge of the Chou family.
Zhong Mingxiu twitched the corner of his mouth and stopped replying.
