The bus started and drove toward the direction of the City Hall along the road outside the school.
Hao Ren sat in the middle of the bus, and Xie Yujia sat beside him.
He didn't know what the inauguration ceremony was about, but he didn't want to ask. Xie Yujia knew that Hao Ren was in a bad mood, so she put the back of her hand on Hao Ren's arm to comfort him.
In the bus, some students started chatting. They were the elites of their respective academies. They were either the presidents of the Student Union or the winners of a science competition. They were showing off to each other and chatting with each other, trying to impress Xie Yujia who was sitting quietly in the car.
The bus passed through the sentry post of the armed police and entered the City Hall. East Ocean City was a developed city along the coast, so the City Hall was quite grand.
The so-called City Hall was divided into several lecture halls. The elite students who were chatting in the bus had never been to the inside of the City Hall before, so they all quieted down.
Lu Qing walked in front and led them into Lecture Hall 1.
The marble floor, the magnificent chandelier, and the rows of red seats were exactly the same as the venue of the City Hall's press conference on TV.
There was still half an hour before the inauguration ceremony officially began. The students of East Ocean University were seated in the fifth and sixth rows in the center area.
In front of the first row was a long table with the names of the provincial and municipal leaders on it. On both sides of the table were five to six cameras.
At the very front was a slightly raised platform and a simple podium with a bright red carpet on it.
The students had never experienced such a scene. Although they were sitting below, they were a bit nervous when they saw five to six cameras facing them.
Soon, some of the leaders of East Ocean City entered the lecture hall.
The person walking at the very front was Deputy Mayor Huang, who was in charge of the economy!
As for Huang Xujie, he was with his father!
He was also an 'Outstanding Student' who was invited today, but he didn't take the bus with the other students. Instead, he came here to find his father!
Standing beside his father, he didn't seem to care about Lu Qing at all!
He saw Lu Qing sitting with the students of East Ocean University, but he didn't even greet them!
His gaze swept across the faces of dozens of students for a while, and suddenly found that Hao Ren was among them. His expression was immediately covered with a layer of frost.
He said goodbye to the 'Uncles Mayors' and walked to the seat in the fifth row. He stared at Hao Ren and sneered, "Hehe, are you an excellent student of East Ocean University? What awards did he win? What position do you have in school? "
Hao Ren ignored him and looked to the other side.
"Principal, this event is for the best students in the school. How could he be here?" Huang Xujie said to Lu Qing in an overbearing manner.
"Before you graduate, you are still a student at East Ocean University. I hope you know your place," Lu Qing looked at him and said lightly.
"Location? My dad is the one sitting in the second row. Principal, are you confused? "Huang Xujie said with a smile on his face.
He didn't believe that a vice-principal sitting in the fifth row could do anything to him! Since this vice-principal was protecting Hao Ren, he would use all his strength to trample on this vice-principal!
In particular, the Vice Principal's granddaughters, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili, didn't even pay attention to him. This made him very angry!
"Principal, I'm 100% sure that Hao Ren doesn't have the right to sit here!" Huang Xujie continued to push his luck.
"Huang Xujie, don't go too far!" Xie Yujia couldn't stand it anymore, so she stood up and said.
"What do you mean by going too far? I'm just stating the facts. How is he an excellent student of East Ocean University? "Huang Xujie turned to Xie Yujia and argued back.
He had met Xie Yujia a few times at school and heard that Xie Yujia was Hao Ren's girlfriend. However, he suddenly realized that Xie Yujia was several times prettier than he remembered her to be in his mind!
"Jie, what are you arguing about? The reporters will be here soon." Huang Xujie's dad walked over from the front.
"Dad, I'm arguing with the Principal about something," Huang Xujie answered calmly.
"You can talk about it when we get back to school." Huang Xujie's father dragged Huang Xujie to the front and arranged for Huang Xujie to sit behind him in the third row.
He was very proud of himself and was about to be promoted, so he didn't pay much attention to Lu Qing, the Vice Principal. Of course, he didn't pay much attention to Hao Ren either.
Huang Xujie, who was sitting in the third row, turned around and raised his index finger at Hao Ren. He glared at him and said, "I'll deal with you later!"
The first row was for the provincial leaders and important leaders in the city, the second row was for the leaders of the sub-bureaus, and the third row was for the outstanding people in the city and regional leaders.
Huang Xujie's father arranged for Huang Xujie to sit in the third row, which showed his favor.
He wanted to make Huang Xujie an outstanding young man in East Ocean City!
The students around Hao Ren didn't want to offend Huang Xujie. In fact, they even wanted to build a good relationship with Huang Xujie so that they could have a bright future!
Only Xie Yujia was indignant and wanted to argue with Huang Xujie!
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a ball of paper hit the back of Huang Xujie's head.
It hit his Tianchong Acupoint, and his scalp went numb.
Huang Xujie looked back immediately but didn't see anything strange, so he turned back.
Swoosh!
Another ball of paper hit the back of Huang Xujie's head.
The Tianchong Acupoint on his back! Although it was just a ball of paper, the impact was more painful than before.
Huang Xujie rubbed his head, looked back, and then turned back.
Swoosh!
The third ball of paper hit the Yamen Acupoint on the back of his neck, and he almost couldn't open his mouth.
"Who is it?!" Huang Xujie couldn't help but yell.
Sitting in the second row, Huang Xujie's father was talking to other leaders. He frowned and said, "Jie, don't make a scene!"
The inauguration ceremony hadn't started yet, but the leaders of the city government were already sitting in the lecture hall. They wanted to show their eagerness for talents.
Huang Xujie yelled and shouted, giving off a very impolite feeling.
"Oh …" Huang Xujie swallowed his frustration and shifted his chair. He sat a little lower and hid behind the back of the chair.
Swoosh!
Another ball of paper hit the back of the solid mahogany chair.
Huang Xujie felt like his head was about to explode as if someone had smashed the back of the chair on his head!
Xie Yujia, who was sitting in the back, pressed her soft hand on his finger under the table and said with a smile, "If you keep tearing, my notebook will be torn to pieces!" Hao Ren smiled and pulled out another piece of paper from between her fingers.
Hao Ren smiled and pulled out another piece of paper from between her fingers. Then, he flicked it out from between his fingers.
The paper ball glowed with a white light and hit Huang Xujie's exposed wrist!
Yanggu Acupoint! Huang Xujie clenched his teeth in pain!
But in such an occasion, he couldn't shout with all his might!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Another two small paper balls, one above and one below, hit Huang Xujie's shoulder and waist!
Clavicle Acupoint! Huan Tiao Acupoint!
Huang Xujie jumped up from his chair and almost knocked over the people in the second row!
"Jie! What are you doing?! "Huang Xujie's father couldn't help but scold Huang Xujie.
"Someone hit me with a paper ball!" Huang Xujie defended himself.
"This isn't an elementary school class!" Huang Xujie's father glared at Huang Xujie and gritted his teeth.
"Someone did it!" Huang Xujie was also furious, and he immediately bent down to look for evidence on the floor.
At this moment, seven weak sword energies shot out of Hao Ren's palm and picked up the seven paper balls on the ground. Then, the seven paper balls flew back to Hao Ren's palm.
"Here, you can have them back." He put the seven paper balls in Xie Yujia's palm.
"You are so naughty." Xie Yujia couldn't help but laugh. She held the paper balls in her hand, clenched her fist, and lightly punched him.
Huang Xujie, on the other hand, couldn't find the paper balls no matter how hard he tried. His indecent posture made his dad lose face.
The rest of the leaders looked at Huang Xujie with disdain. They suspected that Mayor Huang's son had some problems with his intelligence despite his good looks.
"Enough!" Seeing that Huang Xujie was still looking for the paper balls, Huang Xujie's father couldn't help but yell at Huang Xujie.
Huang Xujie stood up and looked back at Hao Ren with a smile on his face. He was furious and shouted, "I know you are behind this! Come out and fight me one-on-one if you dare! "
Boom!
Huang Xujie's father's anger was ignited.
"Get out of here!" The veins on Huang Xujie's father's forehead bulged.
"I …" Huang Xujie wanted to explain.
The six acupoints that were hit by the paper balls were still hurting, and he didn't believe that it was an illusion.
"Get out!" Huang Xujie's father slapped Huang Xujie's head viciously.
Huang Xujie stumbled back a few steps. He turned his head and saw that the students of East Ocean University were looking at him, and so were the reporters who came to prepare. He felt so ashamed that he was about to break down.
"Why is Mayor Huang so angry?" At this critical moment, Hao Zhonghua, who was wearing a silver suit, suddenly appeared at the door.
"The kid is a bit noisy. Sorry for that." Huang Xujie's father smiled awkwardly, wishing that he could find a hole to hide in.
"He's just a kid. It's normal for him to make mistakes." Hao Zhonghua smiled generously. He looked at the seats in the back and saw Hao Ren and Xie Yujia. He said immediately, "Ren! Yujia! Sit in the front. We saved two seats for you in the first row! "
In the first row … Huang Xujie's head was still buzzing, and he wondered if his ears were playing tricks on him.
Huang Xujie's father followed Hao Zhonghua's gaze and found that the guy sitting next to Lu Qing looked familiar …
"Xiaojie was arguing with this guy just now … This … This is the son of Academician Hao who is studying at East Ocean University …"
"Bastard!" Huang Xujie's father slapped Huang Xujie's head again after he figured it out.
If they weren't in the banquet hall with so many people watching, he would have taken out a stick to beat Hao Ren!
