Sun Mo's principle was that a gentleman wouldn't wait overnight for revenge. The number of days he told Ma Cheng and Old Yu was merely a lie to numb them.
Sun Mo didn't plan on letting An Xinhui participate in what was going to happen next. However, as the headmaster of the Central Province Academy, she still had to understand the situation. Hence, he directly went to the headmaster office.
Li Ziqi and Tantai Yutang followed because Sun Mo wanted them to understand the dark side of society so that they could mature earlier.
"Next, I will take the initiative to attack. I will not give Ma Cheng and the others any chance to cause trouble for me."
Sun Mo explained the plan to them.
After hearing this, An Xinhui frowned slightly and sank into contemplation.
"Teacher, why would those farmers believe in Village Chief Yu?"
Li Ziqi didn't understand. She felt that these farmers had become the tools of others.
"It's not that they're willing to believe him. It's just that other than Old Yu, there's no one else they can trust."
Sun Mo shrugged.
"This is caused by experience and knowledge. Everyone likes money. When the farmers hear that the price has increased, they will definitely be tempted. But if you ask them to come out and negotiate, they won't dare to. Firstly, they don't have the ability to do so. Secondly, they are afraid of getting into trouble. That's why Old Yu and the other leaders have this opportunity."
"After the recent price hikes, their income has indeed increased. Although it's only a little, they are very satisfied with it. Hence, in their hearts, Old Yu is a capable person. However, they have never imagined that it's just a small portion of Old Yu's income. The majority of it has already been taken away by Ma Cheng and Old Yu."
"Honestly speaking, Old Yu's move is very disgusting. Even if the farmers are greedy, the Central Province Academy has no way to reprimand them. It's because the people you are facing are a weak group. Public opinion naturally wouldn't be on our side."
Sun Mo explained.
Li Ziqi had a contemplative look on her face. "So you want to take drastic measures?"
"That's right. Let's get rid of Old Yu and the other leaders. Without them, the farmers will naturally give up."
Sun Mo sighed ruefully. Humans were creatures that wouldn't wake up if there were no benefits. Without benefits, Old Yu must be out of his mind to take the lead to create trouble.
It was impossible to resolve this matter peacefully, because the leaders had already been bribed by Ma Cheng and the others.
"However, in order to fend off foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the internal situation. Headmaster An, we can't keep those security guards around."
Although Sun Mo was the logistics department head, he didn't have the authority to fire the security guards.
"Can't you just fire a few? Do you think it's enough to kill the chicken to warn the monkey? "
An Xinhui's brows furrowed slightly. "If we expel all of them, it would seem that our Central Province Academy is heartless!"
"You want humanity? Or qualified security guards? "
Sun Mo's tone was solemn. "Those people don't have the pressure of being fired. Hence, they are just muddling through their days and don't care about their work at all. You should let them understand that they are eating the Central Province Academy's rice, so they should bleed and sweat for the Central Province Academy."
Sun Mo shouted to chase them away, but the security guards didn't move. How could this work? Even if they raised a few dogs, they would still know how to bark.
Li Ziqi felt that she had learned something again.
Security was called and lined up.
"Boss, will there be trouble?"
The security guards were perturbed.
"What kind of trouble could there be? Don't think too much! "
The security leader wasn't worried. An Xinhui was a good person and wouldn't blame them.
Tantai Yutang took the name list and called for people. There were ten people in each batch, and they entered the headmaster's office.
"Here's your salary for two months. Take the money and leave."
Sun Mo spoke concisely.
The security guards were stunned. Then, they looked at their leader.
"Headmaster... Headmaster An, what's going on?"
The leader's tone was filled with dissatisfaction. "I've contributed to this school for 15 years. Is this how you treat me?"
"I'm sorry, I've already handed this matter to Department Head Sun."
An Xinhui had handed over the authority.
"Department Head Sun, back then when you were still a child, I even carried you in my arms!"
The security leader flaunted his seniority.
"Group Leader Qian, you also know that you are a senior in the school? But what did you do when the school was in danger? Did you protect her honor? "
Sun Mo counter-asked.
"Those are farmers. If I beat them up, I would be dirtying the Central Province Academy's reputation!"
Group Leader Qian coldly laughed.
"Alright, cut the crap. If you don't want the school to pursue the matter of your corruption, then take the money and leave quickly. If not, I'm going to report this to the authorities."
Sun Mo urged. Through Divine Sight, what kind of black material couldn't he get? Moreover, there was still a lackey like Li Gong.
Group Leader Qian, who had wanted to argue with Sun Mo, heard this. His countenance changed. After being the security leader for 15 years, he was definitely not clean. He had also made use of his authority to obtain some money.
This was an iron rice bowl, and he could eat until he died. Group Leader Qian naturally wasn't willing to leave. But after Sun Mo mentioned a few cases of corruption, he didn't dare to stay any longer. If not, not only would he not get the money, he would even have to go to jail.
Group Leader Qian compromised. The remaining security guards didn't even have a chance to struggle. All of them took the money and scrammed.
Standing outside the school gate and looking at the signboard of the Central Province Academy, Group Leader Qian suddenly sighed ruefully. This time around, under Sun Mo's leadership, the school might really be able to undergo a nirvanic rebirth.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Group Leader Qian + 30. Prestige connection unlocked. Neutral (30/100).
An Xinhui was an amazing teacher, but she was definitely not a good leader. It was because she was too gentle, valued relationships too much, and was too easy to talk to. This was a great taboo for a headmaster.
...
Sun Mo was a little surprised when he heard the contribution of favorable impression points from Group Leader Qian. However, he soon understood. Group Leader Qian had not only worked in the school for 15 years, but the old headmaster had also recognized his worth. Hence, he had very deep feelings for the school.
In his bones, Group Leader Qian didn't wish for the Central Province Academy to fall.
Regardless, even if he knew of Group Leader Qian's feelings, Sun Mo would still fire him. The current Central Province Academy needed to be reformed. The system and personnel needed to be replaced. Only then would they be able to increase their competitiveness.
Sun Mo, who was walking on the campus, had a deep gaze as he looked at the teachers.
Li Ziqi, who was following Sun Mo, kept having the feeling that her teacher was planning something big.
...
Xiushui Village was located 30 miles west of Jinling City. It was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery was beautiful.
At noon, a horse carriage drove in.
"Sis, we'll be arriving soon. Make your preparations!"
Old Wolf Ren reminded.
"Big Brother Ren, is... is there really 300,000 taels?"
Xiang Qin rubbed her hands, looking excited yet trepidatious at the same time.
She was a widow. After her husband died, she started a small business. In the end, after Old Yu slept with her, she unexpectedly got pregnant.
To someone like Old Yu, it was a joyous occasion for him to have a son at such an old age. Besides, he could afford it and wanted nothing more than to have many children and grandchildren. Hence, he decided to keep Xiang Qin as his mistress.
Xiang Qin also worked hard and gave birth to a chubby boy. Old Yu was very happy and gave her quite a lot of money. Hence, her days weren't bad.
The only vexing thing was that Old Yu's wife and children had come to make a scene a few times. They even beat her up a few times.
Just yesterday, Old Wolf Ren came over and said that Old Yu had offended a major character and most probably wouldn't be able to escape. His family still had 300,000 taels of silver. If Old Yu died, Xiang Qin wouldn't be able to get a single copper coin.
Old Wolf Ren promised that he could help Xiang Qin get this sum of money, but he wanted 50,000 taels of silver.
Xiang Qin and Old Yu were thirty years apart in age. It would be nonsense to say that they had feelings for each other. She was only following him because of the money. Now that she heard that Old Yu was going to be in trouble, she immediately became anxious. That was because once Old Yu fell, he definitely wouldn't give her a single copper coin.
Xiang Qin's thoughts were very simple. (If I can get 200,000 taels, no, even 100,000 taels of silver, I can live my life without worries. Moreover, when my son grows up, he would need money to marry and have children, build a house, and retire...)
"My men have already investigated this matter. That sum of money is buried under his bedroom in his old residence."
Old Wolf Ren spoke solemnly.
Xiang Qin felt uneasy. But when she saw that Old Yu's luxurious courtyard was surrounded by many people, she suddenly felt nervous.
Old Wolf Ren looked at this courtyard and couldn't help but twitch his lips. A village head lived in such a luxurious courtyard. Who would believe that he wasn't greedy for money?
In truth, because Xiushui Village did business with the Central Province Academy, it was famous for being a wealthy village in the surrounding villages. All the women were willing to marry here.
"Brother, can I ask what's going on?"
Old Wolf Ren inquired.
"Village Head Yu's mistress came to our door and wants 300,000 taels of silver."
A villager glanced toward the courtyard.
Watching a commotion was the interest of humans, let alone such a drama.
When Xiang Qin heard this, she subconsciously hugged her son tightly and felt anxious. "Big Brother Ren?"
"Don't worry, I'm here!"
Old Wolf Ren patted his chest. He brought Xiang Qin and squeezed through the crowd, entering the courtyard.
Many people surrounded the courtyard. The woman who came to ask for money had even found a few highly respected elders in Xiushui Village to help her.
Naturally, it was because this woman promised that she would give them the money after the matter was settled. If not, how could these old men have any sense of justice?
At this moment, everyone was very noisy.
When Xiang Qin saw a woman hugging two children, she instantly felt great hostility. After she saw Old Yu, she immediately let out a sorrowful cry and pounced over.
"Old Master, don't you want me anymore?"
Xiang Qin cried.
"Who are you?"
Old Yu's eyelids twitched. He had a cold expression as he scolded. After that, he cast a glance at Xiang Qin, telling her not to create trouble.
Usually, Xiang Qin would definitely be obedient. But today, she couldn't do so. If she didn't do so, she would lose everything.
"Whoa, another one?"
"Our village chief is really an old tree blooming. He has three illegitimate children. Tsk tsk, he really knows how to reproduce."
"Pui, shameless old man!"
"Speaking of which, the village chief is really rich. How much money does he spend to raise so many mistresses?"
The villagers' horizons were truly broadened today.
When Old Yu's wife saw Xiang Qin, she immediately rushed over and pinched her. "You are just a broken shoe that seduces other men, yet you still dare to come here? Do you believe that I won't let you sink into the pond? "
"Shut up!"
Old Yu grew anxious. (Aren't you proving that you know her? I have no choice but to admit it.)
"Stop, don't hurt my younger sister!"
Old Wolf Ren stopped her and reminded, "Sister, you have also seen what happened. If you don't fight for it, your son will have nothing left."
Xiang Qin scolded and even revealed some of Old Yu's scandals in bed. It wasn't that she wanted to defame Old Yu, but rather, she wanted to prove that she did have an affair with him and that this child was also his.
A commotion broke out in the courtyard. Old Wolf Ren had long since received Sun Mo's instructions. When he saw that the situation was about right, he immediately started to cause trouble.
You dare to offend Teacher Sun Mo? (Hmph, today, I will wipe out your entire family!)
