Office building, principal's office.
"An Xinhui, during these few days, there have been teachers and students coming to me to complain, saying that Sun Mo only drew spirit gathering runes in his spirit rune lessons. This is simply half-hearted. There are also people who say that you are abusing your power for personal gain. How are you going to explain this?"
Zhang Hanfu questioned.
He was prepared to endure for a period of time. After all, there was an 80 to 90% chance that Sun Mo wouldn't be able to return after he went to the Darkness Continent. However, when he was patrolling the school today, he would occasionally hear people discussing Sun Mo. Putting aside the positive comments, there were also quite a number of people who said that Zhou Yong hadn't been expelled for so long because he was shielding Sun Mo.
How could Zhang Hanfu endure it after hearing those nasty curses? He immediately came to look for An Xinhui. No matter what, he had to teach Sun Mo a lesson first.
Otherwise, he would really think that he was a vegetarian.
In truth, this matter wasn't done by Sun Mo. After Li Gong guessed Sun Mo's intentions, he secretly found someone to spread this message.
Li Gong was very lucky. After he reported Yang Cai, before Yang Cai could sell him out, that unlucky fellow was silenced by Zhang Hanfu.
Hence, Li Gong was still the foreman of the logistics department in the school. When he learned that the new logistics department head was here, he was very disappointed. Why wasn't it Sun Mo?
However, he also knew that Sun Mo was too young and it was impossible for him to take up such an important position. But who knew that a few days later, the school would announce that Sun Mo would take up the position of the logistics department head?
Although he was the deputy, the head had already scrammed. Hence, Sun Mo's words were the law in the logistics department.
Now that Sun Mo had suddenly become his superior, Li Gong, who was already a lackey, was overjoyed and hurriedly seized the opportunity to bootlick Sun Mo.
Li Gong felt that Sun Mo must have 'slept' with An Xinhui. If not, how could he give her such a fate?
In any case, after what he did, Zhang Hanfu's reputation was ruined.
Given An Xinhui and Wang Su's characters, they definitely wouldn't do such a thing. Therefore, Zhang Hanfu felt that Sun Mo must have done it. Hence, he started to find trouble with Sun Mo.
"Are there less than ten people in Sun Mo's class? If it's too little, I'll cancel this class! "
An Xinhui counter-asked.
"I was just about to say this. Sun Mo publicly gave spirit gathering runes to students. Isn't this using money to attract more people? This is unfair competition! "
Zhang Hanfu flew into a rage. "Many teachers have already come to me to report this."
"Were those spirit gathering runes drawn by Sun Mo?"
An Xinhui interrupted him.
"Eh!"
There was no way to refute this because it was indeed drawn by Sun Mo. Moreover, it was said that the grade of the painting wasn't low.
"If that's the case, then there's no problem. This is something personally drawn by a teacher, and it's a reward for the students to motivate them to study harder. Is there a problem with that?"
An Xinhui's eloquence wasn't bad either.
"Alright, let's put this aside for now. You said that Sun Mo solved the school's funding problem. How did he do it?"
Zhang Hanfu was curious. It couldn't be that they were really going to sell their butts, right?
"Vice-principal Zhang, you don't have to worry about this."
There was no way An Xinhui would tell this fellow in case he messed things up.
"You also know that I'm the vice-principal? I didn't sign Sun Mo's appointment letter! "
Zhang Hanfu was very angry.
"Teacher Wang has signed it!"
An Xinhui forcefully rebutted, causing Zhang Hanfu to feel very uncomfortable.
"…"
Zhang Hanfu cursed in his heart. That crazy Wang Su, what did he see in Sun Mo? Sun Mo treated Sun Mo so well. It was truly enviable.
"I still have a lot of work to do. If there's nothing else, please leave!"
An Xinhui ordered him to leave.
Zhang Hanfu's face turned black. Seeing that An Xinhui was ignoring him, he felt that he had nowhere to vent his anger. He let out a heavy snort and left after slamming the door.
(No, I mustn't let things end like this!)
Zhang Hanfu decided to find a few teachers and students to complain about Sun Mo. Even if he couldn't stop this lesson, he had to disgust Sun Mo to death.
In the school, Zhang Hanfu, who was passing by a flowerbed, suddenly saw his son.
"Qianlin, why are you in a daze?"
Upon seeing his son, Zhang Hanfu couldn't help but reveal a smile. But after that, he frowned.
What was going on with his son's desolate expression?
"You went to see An Xinhui?"
From Zhang Hanfu's point of view, his son must have gone to invite An Xinhui for a meal but was rejected. (Sigh, I've long said that it's impossible for you guys to be together.)
"No!"
Zhang Qianlin shook his head.
"Eh? What's wrong? "
Zhang Hanfu was surprised.
"Nothing."
Zhang Qianlin frowned and stood up impatiently, preparing to leave. However, after taking a few steps, he stopped and asked, "Dad, do I have a very high talent in the study of spirit runes?"
"Of course. Why should I throw away my face to beg others to send you out to further your studies? It's because He Yuanjin isn't qualified to teach you! "
Zhang Hanfu walked over with a face full of smiles. He patted his son's shoulder. "Don't let your imagination run wild. You are the best. That Sun Mo who only knows how to draw spirit gathering runes is trash when compared to you."
When he said this, Zhang Hanfu's face was filled with disdain. He felt that Sun Mo was definitely only familiar with spirit gathering runes. If not, why didn't he talk about other things?
One couldn't help but say that Zhang Hanfu's judgment, which had been tempered by society for a long time, was extremely accurate. If he had targeted this point earlier, Sun Mo wouldn't have been able to continue with this lesson.
"Alright, go and relax. Don't be too nervous. You just returned to school and everyone isn't familiar with you. After one or two months, everyone in the school will know that my son is the most impressive spirit rune master."
Zhang Hanfu consoled.
"Mn!"
Zhang Qianlin pulled himself together again. "Oh right, what are you going to do? Is there anything I can help with? "
"Find someone to mess with Sun Mo!"
Zhang Hanfu didn't mince words.
"..."
When Zhang Qianlin heard this, his expression became unnatural. He wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Hanfu frowned. "Just say it if you have something to say."
"Father, don't go."
Zhang Qianlin persuaded.
"Why?"
Zhang Hanfu didn't understand. (When did my son's heart become so soft? Moreover, he is your love rival. You shouldn't let go of any chance to disgust him.)
Zhang Qianlin didn't want to say it, but when he thought of how his father would surely suffer if he found trouble with Sun Mo in the study of spirit runes, he braced himself and said it.
"He is very impressive!"
"Who? What's so impressive about him? "
Zhang Hanfu felt a little unhappy. "You are a man. Don't be so hesitant when you speak. Even your disposition has become wretched."
"It's Sun Mo. He is very impressive in the study of spirit runes. Don't find trouble with him in this aspect."
Zhang Qianlin said everything in one breath and felt relaxed.
"What?"
Zhang Hanfu thought that he had heard wrongly. This son of his had extremely high talent in the study of spirit runes. Moreover, he had always been confident and arrogant ever since he was young. But now, he actually said that Sun Mo was impressive?
"You should quickly give up on this thought. If not, you will definitely be courting humiliation."
Zhang Qianlin planned to go to the library. He had to find out the origin of that spirit rune today.
"Wait a minute, you are sitting here with a desolate look on your face. Could it be that you were affected by Sun Mo's lesson?"
Zhang Hanfu was badly shocked. (How can this be possible? That Sun Mo is even more outstanding than my genius son?)
"Sigh, I'll tell you honestly. Sun Mo's attainments in this subject can probably be ranked in the top five in the entire Central Province Academy."
Zhang Qianlin sighed. After that, he clenched his fist. (I won't admit defeat.)
"Are you talking nonsense?"
Zhang Hanfu's lips twitched. However, he knew in his heart that this son of his wouldn't praise people easily. Those who were praised by him were all genuine talents.
Zhang Qianlin didn't reply and turned to leave.
Zhang Hanfu stood there for a while. After that, he cursed loudly and started to kick a parasol tree at the side fiercely.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Large swathes of green leaves fell to the ground.
Zhang Hanfu really didn't expect that a newly employed teacher would make an old dog like him suffer so much.
After that, he started to feel envious of An Xinhui's good luck. (Your judgment in choosing your fiance is really good. You actually managed to turn the situation around by relying on Sun Mo!)
(Wait a minute, this matter has nothing to do with An Xinhui. It should be the old headmaster's great judgment!)
"Sigh, what a pity. If the old headmaster could become a saint, there's an 80 to 90% chance that the Central Province Academy would be able to return to the ranks of the Nine Greats."
Zhang Hanfu sighed. After that, a desolate look appeared on his face. (How good would it be if I was a 4-star great teacher?)
Even Zhang Qianlin was saying that Sun Mo was outstanding. From this, it could be seen how good Wang Su's judgment was. Zhang Hanfu, who was a 2-star great teacher, was really too inferior.
"Should I give up on the position of the headmaster and focus on academic research and teaching students? No, I can't. If that's the case, Prince Li would be the first to kill me. "
Just when this thought appeared in his mind, Zhang Hanfu hurriedly tossed it away. Such a matter wasn't something he could decide alone.
...
"Old Zheng? Why are you here? "
When Sun Mo saw Zheng Qingfang, he hurriedly came over. He had a very good impression of this old man who shared the same interests as him.
"I really can't wait anymore. Where's the second half of [Journey to the West]? It's been almost two months. You should have finished it, right? "
Zheng Qingfang looked at Sun Mo anxiously, waiting for him to feed him.
"Eh!"
Sun Mo scratched his head. "I didn't write it!"
"What?"
Zheng Qingfang grabbed his heart, feeling so much heartache that he was about to suffocate. To think that this was the worst answer. He was still thinking that even if Sun Mo had only written a little, he could at least read the manuscript to quench his thirst.
Now, there wasn't even any plums left to quench his thirst.
"Old Zheng!"
Sun Mo wanted to explain.
"Call me uncle!"
Zheng Qingfang interrupted Sun Mo.
"Uncle Zheng, I've been very busy recently!"
In the past, Sun Mo wrote it because he had just arrived and didn't have much living expenses left. This was why he wanted to rely on writing books to earn money. But now, there was no longer a need for that.
Leaving aside the fact that he had the giant medicine packet and spring water beauty medicine packet's formulas, he just needed to draw a few spirit runes and he would be able to earn a few thousand taels of silver. Why would he need to work so hard to write a book?
"..."
Zheng Qingfang's lips moved. He really wanted to say, 'You're just an intern teacher, what are you busy with? At most, you're just running errands and doing odd jobs, right?
(Hmph, you must be busy chasing girls. I heard that the school beauty of the Myriad Daos Academy this year is called Gu Xiuxun. She came to the Central Province Academy.)
Sun Mo saw Zheng Qingfang's expression and knew that he had misunderstood. He hurriedly clarified.
"I officially joined the Central Province Academy over a month ago. Right now, I'm a teacher in the Central Province Academy."
Sun Mo explained.
"Ah? You are Zhang Hanfu's godson? "
Zheng Qingfang was surprised.
