Hong Chuan's face was livid, his fists were clenched, and he was filled with shock and anger.
He really couldn't accept such a result, but the fact was right in front of him. He lost, and he lost miserably. Not only did he lose a lot of money, but he also lost the Hong family's face.
What's even more depressing is that Zhong Hanhua's conspiracy was exposed. As a disciple, he was instantly labeled as a traitor. People who were originally envious of Hong Chuan now looked at him with a hint of contempt and disdain.
"Li Xinghe, what are you proud of?
You're just lucky. If it weren't for the Qingbei legend Li Xianshi helping Zhilian Furniture, do you think you could win?"
Hong Chuan said angrily: "Master Li Xian is my father's friend, the person I call Uncle Li. You have taken advantage of me, Uncle Li, so don't be too proud."
Li Xinghe smiled silently: "Uncle Li?"
"Yes! Master Li Xian is my uncle, everyone knows this."
Now at a disadvantage, Hongchuan had to move Master Li Xian, who was famous in Qingbei, to have such a useless and terrible master was depressing enough, but now Master Li Xian was the only one who could calm everyone present.
Sure enough, when talking about Master Li Xian, those people who looked at each other with disdain looked at Hong Chuan with friendly eyes again.
"The Hong family has a very good personal relationship with Master Li Xian. We are lucky enough to have Master Li come to this school anniversary."
When everyone was silent, a loud voice came.
Looking through the reputation, it turned out to be the principal Fang Wenping.
Although I deeply despised Zhong Hanhua's behavior, he was him and Hongchuan was Hongchuan. There was only one level of master-disciple relationship between them, and they were far apart. Hongchuan definitely didn't know about it either.
The biggest success of this school anniversary is that Hongchuan helped invite Master Li Xian. Speaking of which, the relationship between them should be closer.
Moreover, the dilemma of Zhilian Furniture was solved by Master Li Xian. In the final analysis, it was also Hong Chuan’s fault. Under such circumstances, Fang Wenping could not let Hong Chuan lose his face like this. If Master Li did not come out of anger, then they would not come this time
Aren’t school celebrations meaningless?
Even if it was for Master Li Xian who had not yet arrived, Fang Wenping had to save the Hong family's face.
"Did you hear that?
Li Xinghe, how dare you, a poor little kid, challenge the eldest son of the Hong family?
Do you know how extensive the Hong family’s connections are?
A Master Li is enough to scare you to death."
Ji Deming stood aside and helped shout. With their support, Hongchuan straightened his back.
"Li Xinghe, to be honest, you won because of me. You didn't even have time to thank me, but you dared to let me climb out! You are really courageous!"
Hongchuan sneered.
"Forget it, I have a lot of money, and I won't argue with a little person like you. For the sake of your good luck, I can spare you today. As long as you leave here quietly, I will only treat this matter as
It didn't happen."
Hongchuan struck preemptively, so that he could not only save the Hong family's face, but also gain the upper hand in terms of momentum.
"How about that?"
Hong Chuan wanted to forget it, but Ji Deming refused. He was the dean of academic affairs, and he was responsible for organizing this school anniversary. Li Xinghe had turned a good school anniversary into this, and Ji Deming had already harbored resentment.
If not for wanting to see Li Xinghe climb out, Ji Deming would have already called the security guards to drive him out.
So what if Li Xinghe wins?
This is their territory. How can they let a poor man like Li Xinghe, who has no money and no power, leave safely? Wouldn't that be too advantageous for him?
With Fang Wenping's support, Ji Deming would do anything to regain this face for Hong Chuan.
“Do you think our Qingbei High School’s anniversary event is for people to come and leave whenever they want?
You are exempted from barking like a dog, but you must crawl out. Also, you are not allowed to say that you are a graduate of Qingbei High School in the future. Our school is ashamed to have people like you."
Ji Deming's words were so powerful that Hong Chuan felt guilty for a while, but for the sake of face, he still pretended to be strong and echoed them repeatedly.
Fang Wenping said nothing. When others saw this, they would think that Ji Deming's attitude must represent the principal's intention. After all, they were wearing the same pair of pants.
Then, echoes rang out one after another. In order to please the principal, the Hong family, and to have a chance to please Master Li Xian, these people all chose to betray their consciences.
Accusations and scoldings rang in my ears, as if they were about to drown Li Xinghe and the others.
Xu Yiman was so angry that he was shaking all over. He only knew that he couldn't get along with this group of people, but he didn't expect that people's hearts could be so evil.
Song Yanyu also had a look of disbelief on her face. Could it be that Qingbei High School, which she was once so proud of, could only produce such people?
Li Xinghe's expression was cold, and his sharp eyes swept over everyone.
Compared with anger, Li Xinghe felt more disappointed.
Although those days in high school were not pleasant, Li Xinghe felt that this time was still unforgettable because of Xu Yiman's appearance.
But now that I think about it, except for Xu Yiman, there seems to be nothing here that makes him nostalgic.
"Why……"
Li Xinghe sighed deeply and said coldly: "Can people really confuse right and wrong and ignore right and wrong to this extent?"
"Cut the nonsense!"
Ji Deming said angrily: "Climb out quickly! You are an eyesore when I look at you!"
"Ji Deming, don't go too far!"
Xu Yiman said angrily.
Li Xinghe pulled Xu Yiman and signaled to solve it himself.
"Li Xinghe, if you have the ability, don't hide behind women."
Ji Deming shouted: "If you keep complaining, I will ask the security guard to help you."
Li Xinghe sneered and pointed at Hongchuan, "He is the one who wants to climb out!"
"He was the one who proposed the competition, he was the one who picked the stocks, and he was the one who decided the punishment for the loser, so what?
Don’t you admit it if you lose?
Can’t you afford to lose?”
"Oh no! Li Xinghe, who do you think can't afford to lose?"
Hongchuan said angrily.
"I am talking about you!"
Li Xinghe said with a stern voice: "If you can't afford to lose, just say so. You look like a man, but what you do is a coward. It's really embarrassing."
After scolding Hong Chuan, Li Xinghe turned to Ji Deming and said coldly: "A person like you is not worthy of being a teacher. I will file a complaint and have you leave Qingbei High School as soon as possible."
"As for the principal..."
Li Xinghe looked directly at Fang Wenping with a cold expression. Although he was vain, Fang Wenping had been a principal all his life. Retiring with dignity might be the best outcome.
"Since you are already past your sixtieth birthday, it is better to retire and enjoy your old age."
Everyone was shocked and looked at Li Xinghe in disbelief.
Is this still the poor rural person they know?
That momentum, those words, and the faint hint of threat conveyed the demeanor of a big boss.
"I'll wipe it! How dare you scold me?"
"You dare to threaten me?"
Hong Chuan and Ji Deming were so angry that their faces were livid. People of their status had never been pointed at and scolded like this before.
Fang Wenping had a cold expression. He didn't want to make things too ugly at first, but Li Xinghe's words deeply hurt him.
"Li Xinghe, crawling out is the last dignity I will give you!"
Li Xinghe looked gloomy, "So what if I don't do it?"
