Chapter 20 – The Director's Braid
This was the question Lin Yi had been thinking about since yesterday. Rather than a study partner like him, Pengzhan might as well have hired a high-level tutor for Mengyao.
Besides, with Mengyao's status, grades weren't that important anymore. She'd get into a university no matter what, and even if she didn't make it, she'd still be able to get into one of the top universities with Pengzhan's connections.
"You saw it too?" Faubert wasn't expecting Lin Yi to think of these things so quickly.
"So that's how it is?" Lin Yi asked.
"I don't really understand what Mister Chu means, actually." Faubert sighed. "I'm the closest person to Mister Chu, but some of his deeper meanings aren't something I can understand."
Lin Yi rolled his eyes at Faubert's pointless explanation.
"But Mister Chu told me to tell you to take good care of the Miss and not think too much about it." Faubert repeated Pengzhan's words to Lin Yi. "Give her as much love as you can … She's been lacking love since she was young …"
Lin Yi was speechless. What the hell was this family doing? Lacking love? He could give her love? What kind of joke was this?! Lin Yi hadn't seen Mengyao yesterday, and he didn't like the idea of Pengzhan looking for a son-in-law at all. But after seeing the young and pretty Mengyao, he realized that it wasn't that bad after all … But would Mengyao even fall for him? She'd hate him more than enough, wouldn't she?
Still, Lin Yi didn't say much to Faubert. He only nodded and got out of the car.
"Did you find out who that laborer was?" Pinliang asked with a frown as he rubbed his swollen butt. The man was the reason he hadn't been able to lie down and sleep the whole night.
"Nope, Naipao and I went to a couple of construction sites last night, but we didn't see this guy!" Xiaofu shook his head. "Liang Bro, maybe he hasn't started working yet?"
"No matter what, we must find this person. Motherf * cker, how dare he kick me, I won't let him go!" Zhong Pingliang said fiercely.
"Yes, Brother Liang!" Gao Xiaofu hurriedly promised.
Lin Yi carried his school bag and entered the school. This feeling was so good that it made Lin Yi feel infinitely good. This was campus life, the legendary birthplace of first love.
Lin Yi's bag was one of those black bags the school gave him. It was very rustic, and most of the students, like Mengyao and Yushu, had switched to their own beautiful bags. Only the poorer students would dress like Lin Yi. He was wearing his school uniform and carrying the school's free school bag.
How sharp was Lin Yi's eyes? He saw Zhong Pingliang and the others as soon as he entered the school gates. Wasn't this the guy who'd been bothering Mengyao yesterday? But since he didn't bother Lin Yi, Lin Yi didn't bother with him. He walked right past them.
"Liang Bro, why did that guy look so familiar?" Naipao said as he looked at Lin Yi's back.
"I'm talking business here, why do you care if he looks familiar or not?" Zhong Pingliang frowned impatiently.
"Liang Bro, I think he looks familiar too … It's like, it's like …" Xiaofu rubbed the back of his head, as if he was thinking hard.
"Like what? Can't you just say it already? "Zhong Pingliang cursed.
"It's that guy who kicked you yesterday!" Naipao yelled. "That's right, Liang Bro, it's that guy! I remember now!"
"Really?" Zhong Pingliang's eyes lit up upon hearing that it was the guy who kicked him yesterday. "What are you waiting for? After him!"
"After him!" Xiaofu and Naipao chased after Lin Yi.
Lin Yi took his file to the school's dean's office. Pengzhan had arranged everything beforehand, and he only needed to report himself.
Lin Yi knocked on the door, but no one came to open it for him. He looked at his watch- it was a quarter to seven, and classes started at eight. Perhaps he was a little early.
With that in mind, Lin Yi leaned against the door, waiting for the dean to arrive.
"Ah … Ah …" A soft moaning sound entered Lin Yi's ears- Lin Yi's hearing had become extremely sensitive ever since he started practicing the Art of Dragon Mastery. He couldn't say that he had clairvoyance, but he could at least hear a lot of sounds that others couldn't.
Lin Yin frowned as the sound came from the dean's office. Wasn't there no one here? But Lin Yi seemed to have understood something, and smiled faintly.
At eight sharp, the door to the dean's office opened, and a charming woman in her thirties carefully poked her head out of the office. She jumped when she saw Lin Yi, "What … What are you doing here?"
Lin Yi found it funny. She was having an affair, so why did she have to make it so obvious? It would be strange if people didn't suspect it.
"I'm looking for the dean," Lin Yi said faintly, not bothering to expose her.
"Oh, the dean is inside." The woman tried to calm herself down and said to Lin Yi, "You can go in."
Lin Yi nodded and walked into the office. A balding middle-aged man was sitting at the desk, looking like an old scholar. Lin Yi found it funny.
"What … What do you want?" Wang Zhifeng didn't expect that a student would come in to look for him as soon as his lover went out.
"I'm Lin Yi, here to report." Lin Yi took out his file and handed it to Wang Zhifeng.
"Oh, Lin Yi, I know." Wang Zhifeng nodded. This student was personally arranged by the board of directors. How could he not remember? Wang Zhifeng took Lin Yi's file and began to handle the formalities for Lin Yi.
Soon, after stamping, Wang Zhifeng stood up and said, "I'll take you to class."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Director Wang." Lin Yi said politely. Lin Yi also knew that the dean had a lot of power in the school. If he wanted to live a comfortable life in the future, he couldn't offend this person.
"Hehe, it's my duty." Wang Zhifeng didn't dare to be arrogant. After all, this student was arranged by the board of directors. Walking side by side with Lin Yi out of the dean's office, Wang Zhifeng asked tentatively, "Did you just come?"
"I've been here for a while." Lin Yi felt that there was no need to lie about these things. There were surveillance videos in the school corridors. If Wang Zhifeng wanted to see it, he could go and see it directly.
"Then you …" Wang Zhifeng wanted to say something but stopped. He didn't know what to say. It was all his fault for being impulsive. He had to do that thing in the morning. Now, he was caught by others.
