In the Central Province Academy, the number of times the bell was rung and the interval between them represented different meanings.
If the interval was relatively short, it meant that an impromptu school meeting was going to be held. After the students heard the bell, they had to head to the school's Glory Auditorium within 15 minutes and line up to wait.
Even the students who were currently in class had to stop their classes and head to the meeting.
"Why is there suddenly a school meeting? Did something major happen? "
Groups of students soon appeared on the campus, discussing as they rushed to the auditorium.
As a school tyrant, Zhou Yong was very famous in the Central Province Academy even though he had only attended school for a year and had skipped many classes during that period of time. There were students who hadn't seen him before, but there was no one who hadn't heard of his name.
As for Sun Mo, he was a new teacher who was in the limelight recently. His pair of 'God Hands' was something that everyone knew about. As this matter concerned the two of them, the rumors spread very quickly. There were all sorts of people saying that Sun Mo had come to a compromise and called for the school meeting to apologize to Zhou Yong.
As Zhou Yong's family background was very deep, this rumor had a lot of people and also caused many students to feel indignant.
"Teacher Sun is so outstanding, why would he apologize to a school tyrant?"
Yang Jing, who had received guidance from Sun Mo before, felt indignant.
The Glory Auditorium could accommodate 10,000 people and was a building with a long history in the Central Province Academy. As its name suggested, whenever there was a major event, a hundred-year celebration, a glorious coronation, or a teacher or student achieving success, it would be announced in front of all the teachers and students in the school.
The headmasters of the various years had arrived and started to lead the students to their respective waiting areas. The signboard forbidding them from making a racket was also erected. However, there were still people mumbling. Hence, a lot of noises could be heard.
At the backstage of the auditorium, resting room # 1.
Sun Mo sat on a chair and closed his eyes to rest.
Lu Zhiruo ran back while panting, reporting like a scout, "A... a lot of people have come!"
The papaya girl's tone was filled with nervousness. It was because there were simply too many people. They were densely packed like ants, and there were moving heads everywhere.
"Teacher, you've really created a huge commotion this time around. If you can't expel Zhou Yong, it'd be so embarrassing."
Tantai Yutang felt that Sun Mo's methods were too intense. He could have waited a little longer. At the very least, he could have collected more data on Zhou Yong's evil deeds and found some witnesses.
"If we can't expel him, then we'll just chase him away!"
Xuanyuan Po clenched his fists. In his opinion, there was no need to go through so much trouble. Every day on the way to and from school, he could just stop Zhou Yong and beat him up twice. He could guarantee that after a month, he wouldn't come to school anymore.
Gu Xiuxun rushed over and wanted to encourage Sun Mo. She also wanted to ask if there was anything she could help with. In any case, she had a duty to expel a school bully like Zhou Yong and cleanse the school's environment. However, before she could get near, Zhang Hanfu rushed past her in anger.
Bang!
The wooden door to the resting room was kicked open. Zhang Hanfu rushed in with an ashen expression. When he saw Sun Mo, he roared.
"Sun Mo, who gave you the authority to fire Zhou Yong? And to call for an emergency meeting of the entire school? Have you asked for my opinion as the vice-principal? Do you still have me in your eyes? "
Outside the resting room, there were some teachers with stars. Their statuses were very high, and it was impossible for them to wait in the auditorium. Hence, they were resting here and chatting. When they heard Zhang Hanfu's roar, they all looked toward the No. 1 resting room.
Gu Xiuxun glanced around and immediately walked to the side of the resting room. She pricked up a small ear to eavesdrop.
"Isn't it obvious? I definitely don't have you in my eyes! " Sun Mo shrugged. "Because I really can't find any aspect of you that's worthy of my respect!"
Everyone present was a teacher and their hearing wasn't bad. Although Sun Mo's voice wasn't loud, the door to the resting room wasn't closed. Hence, everyone heard this and couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
Huo!
This Sun Mo was really headstrong!
He really didn't care about his face at all to say such words.
"Tsk, how arrogant, but I admire it!"
Gu Xiuxun's lips twitched.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Gu Xiuxun + 20. Friendly (50/100).
"What did you say? Why don't you say it again? "
Zhang Hanfu bellowed and fiercely took a step forward. Because he was short and looked like a potato, this physical flaw caused him to value mental respect even more.
Sun Mo's words were so offensive, causing Zhang Hanfu to be like an enraged lion, roaring non-stop.
Li Ziqi, Ying Baiwu, and Jiang Leng immediately stood next to Sun Mo. Their meaning was clear. They wanted to advance and retreat together with him. Xuanyuan Po didn't move, but he grabbed onto 'Silver Paste' and was prepared to fight at any moment.
Lu Zhiruo was like a frightened little rabbit. She hid behind Sun Mo and grabbed onto his clothes tightly. After that, she revealed her head and bared her teeth at Zhang Hanfu.
Tantai Yutang's lips twitched. This Zhang Hanfu, if it wasn't for Prince Li Zixing supporting him and Wang Su placing his focus on cultivation and teaching students, not liking the work of managing a school, he wouldn't have the chance to be in charge!
Of course, Zhang Hanfu had management capabilities, but his cultivation base was too low after all, and he had no way to convince the masses. It was more than enough for him to be a vice-headmaster and take on some supporting roles. But if he wanted to be a headmaster and control a prestigious school, he could only say that he was thinking too much.
"As a vice-headmaster, don't you feel that you're lowering your social status by making such a ruckus in front of me? Also, have you been constipated recently? Your mouth is very smelly! "
As Sun Mo spoke, he used his hand to cover his nose.
The teachers outside the resting room were dumbfounded. Sun Mo's mouth was so poisonous. As expected of Black Doggy Sun, he dared to bite anyone.
"F * ck you!"
Zhang Hanfu couldn't hold it in anymore. He lifted his hand and wanted to smash Sun Mo's head. However, an ice-cold rebuke made him stop.
"Vice-headmaster Zhang, what are you doing?"
An Xinhui's face was cold. She was like a ghost as she appeared before Sun Mo.
"Amazing!"
Li Ziqi exclaimed in admiration. Just from this move, she knew that An Xinhui was very strong. Moreover, this was clearly to intimidate Zhang Hanfu.
(If you dare to make a move, I won't be polite then.)
"An Xinhui, did you incite him to do this?"
Zhang Hanfu bellowed. From his point of view, how would Sun Mo, who had just joined the school, have the guts to clash head-on with him? It must be An Xinhui who gave him the confidence.
Just when An Xinhui wanted to reply, she felt Sun Mo's large hand pressing down on her shoulder. After that, he exerted force and pushed her to the side.
"Move aside, you're blocking me!"
Sun Mo pushed An Xinhui aside.
"Eh?"
An Xinhui was stunned.
Gu Xiuxun hid at the door and peeked into the resting room. When she saw this scene, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
(This is your backer, alright? You actually felt that she was a hindrance and pushed her away?)
However, when she saw Sun Mo's eyes that were as clear and deep as the stars looking straight at Zhang Hanfu with no intention of retreating, this masochist suddenly realized something. This man didn't like to hide behind a woman's butt, not even for a second.
Seeing Sun Mo's unyielding appearance, Zhang Hanfu grew even angrier. He retorted, "Do you feel that you're very impressive? That you're the envoy of justice? That you're getting rid of school bullies and returning peace to the students?
"You're really arrogant and egotistical. Even a new teacher like you can see the problem. How can we, the school leaders with rich experience, not see it? But have you thought about why we didn't expel him?
"It's not that we can't do it, it's that we can't!
"Have you seen the financial report of the Central Province Academy for the past few years? This school's finances have long since been unable to make ends meet and there's a huge deficit. Zhou Yong's father would donate one million taels of silver to the school every year. Do you know how much money that is? How many people can it support? If you expel Zhou Yong now, Headmaster Cao of the Myriad Daos Academy will pay a visit in the afternoon and invite him to join the school. "
Zhang Hanfu's dissatisfaction and hatred erupted forth.
"One... one million taels?"
Ying Baiwu was dumbfounded. She had lived for 13 years, and if it wasn't for Sun Mo, she wouldn't even have the chance to touch a single tael of silver. To her, no, to many people, this number was an astronomical figure.
Even if all 18 generations of her ancestors were added up, they might not be able to earn this much.
"Do you know what your fiancée eats every day? She often eats sesame seed cakes and salted vegetables. Is this what a 3-star great teacher should eat? Isn't it because she wants to save some money? "
Hearing this, the teachers outside the resting room were speechless. They knew that the school's financial situation wasn't too good, but they didn't expect it to have deteriorated to such an extent.
Sun Mo fell silent, but in his heart, he gave Zhang Hanfu nine points for his eloquence and sophistry. As expected of a leader, he could turn black into white and stir up people's emotions with ease.
Zhang Hanfu knew that he didn't have a good reputation. Hence, he brought up An Xinhui, saying how she had suffered a lot. He immediately brought up the difficult situation the school was in, making it even more obvious how precious the one million taels of silver was.
"An Xinhui and Wang Su are two idealists, but in truth, ideals can't fill one's stomach. Humans need to eat to live."
Zhang Hanfu sneered, subtly showing off his contributions. "If I didn't do my best to maintain this school, it would have collapsed long ago."
"Say something. Didn't you want to expel Zhou Yong? Then let me ask you. After his father stopped donating the one million taels of silver, will you make up for it? "
Zhang Hanfu coldly snorted. "Not? In that case, we won't be able to pay everyone's salary next month. "
Sun Mo looked at An Xinhui. This was his fiancée in name. She was skinny and pale, clearly in a suboptimal state. One must know that for a cultivator to be able to tire her body to such an extent, one could tell how tough it was for her.
Moreover, when she said that she would do her best to support him, it meant that she had made up her mind. One million taels of silver wasn't a small sum. It could really crush someone to death.
Humans needed to eat to live. If they couldn't pay their salary, the teachers might still be fine, but the workers would definitely create trouble. After all, even if they didn't do it for themselves, they had to think about the stomachs of their families!
"Do you know how many employees the school has other than teachers? 2,260 people. Have you counted before? This means that there are 2,260 families behind them, and they are the pillars of their families. If they can't pay their salary, so many families will have to go hungry. "
Gu Xiuxun stood outside the door, feeling her scalp turning numb as she listened. There were at least four to five people in a family. If the pillars of the family couldn't get their salary back, everyone would have to starve.
"Sigh!"
Gu Xiuxun sighed. This time around, Sun Mo was probably going to suffer a setback unless he could get a million taels of silver.
But who would be foolish enough to donate so much money to the Central Province Academy for no reason?
If it was in the past, when the school was still one of the Nine Greats, those wealthy merchants, officials, and nobles would definitely fight to donate money to them. Moreover, An Xinhui could still be picky. For merchants with a bad reputation, she wouldn't ignore them even if they offered a million taels of silver with both hands.
But this couldn't be done now. The Central Province Academy had declined!
"Teacher Sun is too rash this time around!"
"His intentions are good, but his method isn't right!"
"He's too impatient."
"But could it be that he has to compromise for the sake of money?"
The teachers started discussing. Some felt that Sun Mo was wrong, while others felt that he wasn't wrong. However, most of them had witnessed the weakness of the school and were starting to prepare for a path of retreat.
There was no future for him to develop in this school.
An Xinhui glanced at the door. Her white teeth bit her red lips, and her eyes were a little red.
This fellow Zhang Hanfu had said these words in order to force Sun Mo to abdicate, to clear his name, and to make him into the savior of the Central Province Academy.
But the moment these words were spoken, the morale of the people in the school would disperse.
(Without money, who would work with you?) Just like what Zhang Hanfu had said, ideals couldn't be used to make a meal.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Where did your complacency from earlier go to? "
Zhang Hanfu didn't show mercy after gaining the upper hand.
"Vice-headmaster Zhang, you don't have to worry about the money. I'll take responsibility for it." An Xinhui took another step forward. "This student, Zhou Yong, must be expelled!"
"Alright, expel him. After that, we won't have any money and won't be able to pay our salaries. Before the league tournament rankings are out, our school will be downgraded by the Saint Gate!"
Zheng Qingfang sneered.
"No, we won't even need to downgrade our school. We'll just abolish it."
The Saint Gate would conduct examinations for the various schools every year. Why was the Central Province Academy on the verge of being delisted? Not only were their results too bad, but the school's budget deficit was also a huge pit. They didn't even have money for basic operations and maintenance. How were they going to conduct classes?
"I'll definitely take responsibility for it!"
An Xinhui could only say this. She actually had a plan to salvage the situation, but it would take at least six months before the initial effects could be seen. Therefore, these six months were crucial.
"Heh, let me say one more thing. Given our school's current reputation, we won't be able to invite a great teacher. If you dare to expel Zhou Yong, Xu Shaoyuan will resign immediately. He might even bring along a few great teachers he has a good relationship with. How are you going to compensate for this loss?"
Zhang Hanfu went all out. He had decided to take this chance to trample these two people into the mud today, proving to all the teachers in the school that An Xinhui couldn't manage this school at all.
Zhang Hanfu's assistant appeared outside the resting lounge.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Hanfu angrily berated. (Why are you so blind? Can't you see that I'm scolding you?)
"Headmasters, half an hour is up!"
The assistant reminded them. It was because the school meeting would be held half an hour after the bell rang.
"Got it!"
Zhang Hanfu dismissed the assistant and glared at Sun Mo. "Do you know your mistakes? If you do, then take this opportunity to apologize to Zhou Yong. "
"What did you say?"
Li Ziqi was instantly angered. "Who are you asking to apologize?"
"That's right, Teacher isn't in the wrong!"
Lu Zhiruo was very angry. She bared her teeth, wanting to bite Zhang Hanfu.
If it was any other student who said this, Zhang Hanfu would have thrown out an Ignorant and Incompetent halo to punish her. However, he didn't dare to do that to Li Ziqi.
"In any case, you have to take full responsibility for this matter!"
After saying that, Zhang Hanfu flicked his sleeves and left.
The resting lounge # 1 immediately fell silent. However, the atmosphere was very stifling.
Jiang Leng was very worried. This time around, Sun Mo was really in big trouble.
"Teacher, I still have some private stash of money!"
Li Ziqi gritted her teeth. If Zhou Yong wasn't expelled, Sun Mo would become the laughing stock of the entire school. But once he was expelled, the school would be finished without the sponsorship.
This was really a dead end!
"Teacher, I... I..." Lu Zhiruo said 'I' twice and suddenly cried. "Boohoohoo, I don't have money!"
(I really deserve to die. Why do I eat so much usually? I even have to eat an egg for breakfast. How good would it be if I could save money?)
Gu Xiuxun stood at the door and leaned against the wall, looking at the ceiling. She was racking her brains. If she were to encounter such a crisis, what should she do?
No, given her intellect and emotional quotient, she would definitely not do such a thing.
"Little Momo, don't worry anymore!"
An Xinhui suddenly smiled, like a lily blooming in midsummer. She flicked her hair and consoled with a smile, "That Zhou Yong must be expelled. Quickly pull yourself together and carry out your responsibility as a teacher."
"But..."
Li Ziqi mentally mused. (What about the funding? Could it be that we have to wait for the workers and teachers to come and ask for pay? If that's the case, the reputation of this famous school with a history of 1,000 years would be completely gone.)
"I know that during these few days, your prestige as a teacher has been repeatedly challenged by Zhou Yong. I'm unable to let you experience the joy of being a teacher in the Central Province Academy. It's my dereliction of duty. I apologize here!"
An Xinhui bowed.
"Your words are too serious!"
Sun Mo smiled, pushed An Xinhui away, and walked out. "It's just a small trouble. Now, let me end everything!"
"Small trouble?"
Tantai Yutang let out a tsk, feeling that his teacher was really good at bragging.
When the other teachers heard this, their mouths twitched. They felt that Sun Mo was trying to look impressive. However, it was normal for a young man with no work experience to be unable to win against an old dog like Zhang Hanfu.
Who wouldn't suffer a lot on their path of growth?
"Young man, it's a blessing to suffer!"
Pan Yi took advantage of his seniority and consoled.
Sun Mo ignored him and walked toward the corridor that led to the auditorium.
Pan Yi's expression changed, and he felt a little embarrassed.
"Sigh!"
Xia Yuan sighed. This was reality.
Sun Mo walked for a while and suddenly stopped. It was because Wang Su, who was close to 1.9 meters tall, had unknowingly appeared in the corridor leading to the auditorium.
"Teacher Sun!"
The moment Wang Su spoke, all the discussions backstage instantly fell silent.
All the teachers looked at Wang Su in astonishment. Their ears were filled with the words' Teacher Sun 'that he had addressed Sun Mo. My heavens, everyone in Jinling City, including the teachers of the Myriad Daos Academy, knew that Wang Su was a perfectionist. He had extremely high requirements for teachers and students, and ordinary elites wouldn't be able to enter his sights. But now, he actually addressed Sun Mo as' Teacher Sun '?
"Hehe, I must have heard wrongly!"
Some teachers mumbled.
"Teacher Wang!"
Sun Mo greeted. He felt that this teacher wasn't too bad.
Wang Su was expressionless and didn't say a word. He took a step back and moved to the side.
Sun Mo walked over.
"I knew it. Teacher Wang is such an arrogant person. How could he admire a new teacher?"
"But I heard that he had recruited Sun Mo before?"
"Then you must have heard wrongly!"
"That's right. Even if he had recruited him before, given his cold attitude now, it's impossible for him to be wanted!"
The teachers mumbled. Sun Mo had stirred up such a big mess. Even if Wang Su thought highly of him in the past, his attitude would change now.
One must know that Wang Su was a perfectionist.
When Yi Jiamin saw this scene, he was so happy that he almost jumped up. He wanted to strip naked and do a hula dance. The more unlucky Sun Mo was, the happier he would be.
"Sigh!"
Du Xiao felt that Sun Mo didn't deserve this. He was clearly thinking for the sake of his students. What was wrong with that? However, she still had to work hard to raise her cultivation base and teaching capabilities. If the Central Province Academy were to collapse, she would be able to find a new job. Otherwise, she would have to starve.
Teachers like them who hadn't gotten a star were the most worried. If they went to other schools, they would be exempted from the examinations. Even if they succeeded, they would have to start from scratch again.
"Teachers, let's enter!"
After Wang Su said that, he took the lead and entered the auditorium.
The teachers exchanged a glance and fell silent. Each harbored their own thoughts as they walked into the auditorium and took their seats.
...
In another room, Zhou Yong was waiting unhappily. When he saw Zhang Hanfu pushing the door open and entering, he immediately asked, "How is it?"
Zhang Hanfu frowned. He didn't like Zhou Yong's tone. However, when he thought of his father and teacher, he could only endure it.
"It's settled. Sun Mo will apologize to you during the school meeting!"
"Really?"
Zhou Yong's eyes brightened.
"If Sun Mo fires you, where will he find one million taels? He hates you, but he has to think for An Xinhui and this school. Can it be that he can't just watch as the school is abolished? "
In Zhang Hanfu's heart, the current 'Sun Mo' was still the original Sun Mo, treating everything about An Xinhui as more important than his own life. Therefore, for the sake of this school, he would definitely apologize.
"Very good, but I don't just want him to apologize. I want to fire him!"
Zhou Yong smiled malevolently. "Since he wants to fire me, I'll let him know the consequences of offending me!"
"Zhou Yong, don't go overboard!"
Zhang Hanfu frowned and berated. He was unhappy with Sun Mo and wanted to fire him as well. However, it wasn't up to a student to say this.
"Hehe!"
Although Zhou Yong was bad, he knew when to stop. However, he felt increasingly disdain for this school. After he completed the task his father had given him and ruined this school, he would go to the Myriad Daos Academy, no, the Skyraise Academy to take a look.
The number one school in the Nine Provinces should be where he belonged. Only then would it be worthy of his talent.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go to the auditorium!"
Zhou Yong's eyes darted around, and he started to have wicked thoughts again. Later on, how should he humiliate Sun Mo? It wasn't enough for Sun Mo to apologize in front of all the teachers and students!
(This young master will make you lose all your reputation and scram out of the Central Province Academy. You won't be able to be a teacher anymore!)
Otherwise, how would he be able to vent his anger?
