"As expected of the Chairman. Mofan, listen to that, aren't you ashamed of what you just said? You even said you were invited by other countries …" Zu Jiming knew how to grab hold of the opportunity to teach Mofan a lesson.
There were some things that were fine to say on a normal day.
However, if they were said in front of important people, it would be like adding insult to injury!
"I've really realized that my temper is a lot gentler than before. I can't believe I've tolerated an idiot like you showing up in front of me for a whole year!" Mofan did not show any mercy. He continued to curse Zu Jiming.
"Who are you calling an idiot!?" Zu Jiming snapped furiously, "Don't think you can act recklessly just because you're a little stronger than us. I might be a little weaker, but I won't betray my country, nor will I shamelessly ask for things from my superiors. "
"A piece of trash like you should at least know your place," Mofan snapped.
Zu Jiming's face darkened when he heard Mo Fan calling him a piece of trash once again. He was still in front of the Chairman. If he were to cower in front of a mad dog like Mo Fan, how could he possibly face his own people!?
That being said, Zu Jiming was not stupid. He had no intention of picking a fight with Mofan. Even if he had to, he had to show that he was as reasonable as Shao Zheng, "If you're so good, why don't you lead your team to the top three? I'll be convinced if you can defeat the four strongest countries, let alone the top three!"
"I don't need you to be convinced. Just admit that you're a piece of trash, and stop screaming like a fat sow beside my ear. To be honest, I've already given my country enough face and listened to the organization's arrangements. Otherwise, I would have beaten the crap out of you and sent you to the hospital. Which clan raised a retard like you? They even put you on the national team to hinder the others and sow discord between us! "Mofan swore like a machine gun.
At this moment, a woman behind Shao Zheng spoke up, "Fellow student, do you have any objections to my recommendation?" Judging from her tone, there was a hint of coldness and sternness.
When Zu Jiming heard that his aunt had finally spoken, he was secretly delighted.
He knew Mofan was like a bomb that would explode at the slightest touch. Even though the woman behind Shao Zheng was only the Chairman's secretary, her position was equivalent to an official Councilman. She was the one that had recommended Zu Jiming to the national team.
The chairman's secretary, Zu Huiyin, had an ugly expression on her face when she heard Mofan's scolding. In the end, she couldn't take it anymore!
"So this pig is one of your people. You should discipline him well, don't let him become a black sheep. The Chairman also mentioned that the ranking is related to the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers. As a matter of fact, as long as he doesn't stir up trouble among the soldiers, the top three shouldn't be a problem at all, "Mo Fan said straightforwardly. He did not treat the Chairman's secretary kindly.
The chairman's secretary, Zu Huiyin's face turned green upon hearing this.
Where did this lawless student come from? How dare he say something like that in front of the chairman's secretary? Did he think he was the emperor!?
"President, I seriously don't understand. Strength might be important, but temperament is more important. Such a disrespectful student might even accept an invitation from another country after the World College Tournament. If that's the case, what's the point of us spending so much effort on him? Why don't we just ask him to hand over the resources he obtained from the treasure hunt and distribute them equally to the other students!" The chairman's secretary, Zu Huiyin, had run out of patience. She even threatened to deprive Mo Fan of everything he had earned from the treasure hunt!
Shao Zheng did not stop the argument between Mofan and Zu Jiming. When Feng Li was about to scold them, Shao Zheng purposely signaled him to stop with his gaze.
He only allowed the argument to continue, as he believed it was scarier to hide the conflict between two teams than to expose it directly.
The finals were a team match, and there would be a total of eight participants in each match. The teamwork and cooperation between the students was extremely important. Without enough trust, it was easy for the team to be defeated by the enemy.
Shao Zheng did not want the team to be friendly and united on the surface, yet they were scheming against each other during the actual match. It would only ruin the match!
It was obvious that the team was not on friendly terms. Shao Zheng had already noticed it during the treasure hunt. Zu Jiming, Mu Tingying, Nanrong Ni, and Li Kaifeng had formed their own clique. When Mofan and Mu Ningxue were in trouble, they had no intention of lending a hand!
That was not what Shao Zheng wanted to see. It was impossible for them to resolve the conflict, either. The conflict between the students was not just some petty squabbles, nor was it just jealousy. After all, they were competing against each other before they went up against the other countries. The grudge between them had accumulated for a year.
Shao Zheng wanted to turn the conflict into motivation, a way to keep an eye on each other. He wanted them to expose themselves, so they would try their best to achieve a higher ranking because of the conflict between them!
"Mofan might be a little reckless, but Zu Huiyin, your suggestion is a little too harsh." Shao Zheng had no intention of punishing Mofan.
"I just think the student wasn't strong enough at the beginning. It's not impossible for him to betray his country in the end!" Zu Huiyin was furious.
Mofan kept calling her a retard and a piece of trash. In Zu Huiyin's eyes, it was no different than scolding her. She was the one who had recommended Zu Jiming, yet he dared to insult him in front of the chairman. The kid was simply asking for his death!
If he was asking for it, she would make sure he was trampled on until he could not turn back!
No one dared to oppose her like this. With her identity, wouldn't she be able to toy with the kid until he was dead?
"Zu Huiyin, I don't like what you just said. I don't know about the other students, but there's nothing wrong with Mofan. I'm very displeased by your doubts and doubts. I hope you can apologize to Mofan, "Han Ji finally blurted out.
"Han Ji, did I hear it wrong?" Zu Huiyin was stunned.
What kind of joke was this? Asking her, the chairman's secretary, to apologize to a student? Was this Han Ji out of his mind!?
"You didn't hear it wrong, I hope you can apologize to Mofan," Han Ji took a step forward, indicating that he was not joking. He also showed his determination.
"Han Ji, Zu Huiyin is only teaching the younger generation a lesson. You don't have to be so serious," said the old patriarch of the Mu Clan, Mu Gong.
"I was wondering why the kid was so arrogant, daring to kill the successor of our Lu Clan. It turns out that he has the support of an old man like Han Ji. Han Ji, have you really spoiled your disciple too much? How dare you ask the chairman's secretary to apologize to a student? "Councilman Lu Xin, who had been quiet all this while, finally spoke.
Lu Xin's eyes were staring at Mofan coldly, as if he was going to burn Mofan into ashes.
"Lu Yilin's death has already been proven. Lu Yilin was the one who tried to kill his teammate first …" said Song He.
"Even so, he should still be handed over to the Enforcement Union. What right does he have? Besides, he's already dead. Those who are still alive can say whatever they want. How can I be sure that it's not some people who are trying to bully my nephew?" Councilman Lu Xin finally lost his temper. There was no way he would let Mofan go!
"I've already said it. We'll make a decision after the World College Tournament. Lu Xin, you shouldn't mention it again!" Feng Li snapped.
"Alright, I'll wait. Let's hope the Enforcement Union can give me a fair trial. Otherwise, don't blame me for taking matters into my own hands!" Lu Xin was quite patient. He even uttered the harsh words.
Han Ji did not argue with Lu Xin on the matter, yet he was not going to let Zu Huiyin and Zu Jiming, who had purposely used their identities to distort Mofan's character.
"Old Han, just ask Zu Jiming to apologize to Mofan. Zu Huiyin was only giving him a warning. She didn't actually say that Mofan would betray the country. Besides, Mofan was the one who spoke without thinking," said Pang Lai.
Asking the chairman's secretary to apologize to a student? How inappropriate! Han Ji's request was too much. Even if he was trying to protect Lu Xin, there should be a limit to it!
Zu Jiming was dumbfounded. Why would he apologize to Mofan? Was Pang Lai out of his mind? Could he even tell the difference between right and wrong!?
"No way! Whoever said it has to take responsibility for it! Mofan was only joking, yet someone purposely twisted his words in front of the chairman, saying that there's something wrong with his character, that he might betray the country. I don't really care if a young, weak, and jealous student like Zu Jiming would say something like that. However, as the chairman's secretary, what are you trying to achieve by saying something like that in public? Do you know how much of an impact it will have on a student? "Han Ji was extremely stubborn. His tone was extremely stern!
"What kind of intentions could I possibly have? I'm just reprimanding him. A person's character can be easily determined by their actions. At least, the way he behaved was very problematic. Besides, I can also tell that he's a person with evil intentions after Lu Yilin's death. He shouldn't be put in an important position!" said the chairman's secretary, Zu Huiyin.
"Evil intentions? Very good, very good. You better remember what you just said!" Han Ji sneered.
"Did I say anything wrong?" said Zu Huiyin.
"Today is the last match of the finals. I was planning to announce something when Mofan showed up in front of the public with his own strength. Zu Huiyin, you still have three matches to decide if you're going to apologize to him. Don't you dare say you're going to take back your words when the time comes. It won't be as simple as just apologizing to him! "
"Regret? I, Zu Huiyin, will never take back my words. Many people make mistakes, and say something inappropriate, but I won't. Otherwise, how could I possibly be the chairman's secretary? Evil intentions are evil intentions! "Zu Huiyin was even more arrogant. She had no intention of backing down even by half a step.
Zu Huiyin was trying to figure out a way to recruit the Lu Clan, and she happened to have a great opportunity today. The Lu Clan had been holding a grudge against Mofan for a long time. She believed the Lu Clan would be grateful if she decided to teach him a lesson.
