Chapter 30: Requesting Leave of Absence

"You\'re really itching to hit someone, aren\'t you? If you have the nerve why don\'t you try hitting me, your grandpa? I\'ll stand here and let you hit me. I bet you, my grandson doesn\'t dare to lay a finger on me!"

Fan Jian didn\'t completely recover from his injuries and his face was still black and blue. He didn\'t seem like he would be able to hit back even if he had spoken such haughty words.

Chu Bai clenched his fists.

"Grandson, Come hit me if you have guts. Why aren\'t you hitting me? come on hit me. Come..."

Fan Jian didn\'t step back but pulled his neck, stretching out his face provoking Chu Bai to hit him. That expression of his was so despicable that it could really make one\'s hair stand up in anger.

Chu Bai who was bad-tempered, to begin with, could no longer restrain himself from slapping Fan Jian with the palm of his hand.

Chu Bai felt so satisfied slapping Fan Jian but then he regretted it a bit.

It was obvious that Fan Jian showed up to deliberately provoke him.

As expected, after receiving the slap, Fan Jian immediately turned around and was about to go to complain to the teacher.

However, after Fan Jian went past the classroom door, it didn\'t take long for him to return back.

He didn\'t just come back alone but brought an old man with him.

The old man he brought along with him was the Old Principal.

Upon seeing the Old Principal, Chu Bai\'s previous anxiety vanished into thin air and he cheerfully greeted the Old Principal.

After listening to Chu Bai greet the old man as the Old Principal, the students who were unaware of the old man\'s identity before were now enlightened and they imitated Chu Bai, politely greeting the Principal.

The Old Principal smiled at the students and gave a nod. His gaze then fell on Chu Bai and Fan Jian.

"I was outside the classroom just now and heard what all happened in here. Both of you are classmates. Students like you have to get along, and help out each other..."

The Old Principal began a lengthy speech and kept educating the students.

The students listening to the Old Principal were dazed. Now and then they nodded their heads, and felt what all the Old Principal said was reasonable.

However, Wang Haoran was crystal clear that the Old Principal was trying to settle the issue for Chu Bai.

It was as Wang Haoran guessed. After the Old Principal spoke a lot, he criticized Chu Bai a little and left it at that without punishing him.

Fan Jian had received a slap from Chu Bai for nothing.

Wang Haoran was certain that the Old Principal was an important supporting role of the Protagonist faction.

Moreover, as a supporting role, the assist he was providing the Protagonist was a bit too much.

If he wasn\'t wrong, such supporting roles in many web novels were lethal to a Villain like him.

He would repeatedly make a turnaround, allowing the Protagonist to make a comeback and would put a Villain like him in a tight situation.

\'Seems like it\'s time I think of a way to take care of this important supporting role. I can\'t let him keep helping Chu Bai like this.\' Wang Haoran thought to himself.

After the Old Principal was done reconciling the conflict, taking advantage of the time between classes, he wanted to have a talk with Chu Bai.

*****

In the playground, the Old Principal and Chu Bai were having a walk and they loosened up.

"Mock exams are already done and it doesn\'t matter if you didn\'t get to show your ability then. What you need to keep in mind is the college entrance exam. That\'s when you must show how capable you truly are."

"Principal is right." Chu Bai firmly nodded his head. He felt like his mood just got better.

Although he had suffered defeat in the mock exam, he still had an opportunity.

As long as he used his "ability" in the college entrance exam, he\'d be fine.

In any case, he would never run into someone like Xin Liangcai during the college entrance examination.

The invigilators that would invigilate for the college entrance examination would either be from other schools or transferred from other places.

In the college entrance examination, the exam candidates and invigilators wouldn\'t be acquainted with each other so as to not facilitate cheating.

Even if Chu Bai ran into one, he wasn\'t really worried.

The way the college entrance examination would be conducted was quite different. As it would decide the future of the students, if an invigilator sat next to him and kept a watch on him, Chu Bai could protest that the examiner was disturbing him in taking his exam.

In that way, Chu Bai could comfortably use his "ability".

After his first success, he\'d repeat the same.

"I think you\'ll be fine. You can now return back to your classroom." The Old Principal said to Chu Bai.

"Principal, I have a favor to ask you. I hope Principal agrees."

"Go ahead." The Old Principal replied with a smile.

"Yesterday evening when I came with you to your home for dinner, you accidentally mentioned something about you leaving to a friend\'s place to bet on stones this afternoon."

"You want to join me?"

"Don\'t be fooled by my age. Although I\'m young, I have learned the true essence of gambling from a gambling legend. I can make a profit from nine out of ten stones!"

"This..."

"Principal, just take me along with you. The condition at my home isn\'t that good. My parents had to go through many hardships. I also have to make money and bear some responsibility." Chu Bai had played the emotional card.

"What a filial child!"

Thinking that Chu Bai wasn\'t really lying, the Old principal said, "You can go ask your homeroom teacher for leave."

"Our homeroom teacher isn\'t that good to interact so I would have to trouble Principal." Chu Bai smiled nervously.

Although Song Zhenyu hadn\'t made Wen Jing\'s matter public before, he was certain she was mad at him.

Chu Bai would by no means dare to ask Song Zhenyu for leave. Not only would she scold him, but she would also make it hard for him to leave.

*****

In the afternoon.

Wang Haoran found a quiet place and made a phone call to his mother.

He was making a phone call to his mother because he recalled her once telling him: "Our family has many connections. You can bully anyone you want at school."

Although Wang Haoran didn\'t know who exactly the so-called connection was, he was certain that it wouldn\'t be simple.

The phone continued to ring for a while, but no one picked the call.

Wang Haoran went on to make phone calls in a row, but still, no one picked the call at the other end.

According to his mother\'s schedule, she must be busy with things at her company at the moment.

Wang Haoran finally gave up making the call and prepared to go to his mother\'s company.

He couldn\'t just solve it with a simple phone call after all. He still had to meet her in person.

Wang Haoran then came to the office.

Yesterday, Song Zhenyu had to correct the English test papers until four in the morning. As she was pretty tired today, taking advantage of the lunch break, she leaned over her desk to take a nap.

At the moment there was no one but her in the office. Wang Haoran suddenly leaned over Song Zhenyu\'s ear, and began to sing the song "I Love You".

"I hugged you deeply into my arms"

"Hold you in my palm"

"Because you\'re the one I love"

"In this clean world of love"

"You\'re my only one"

"Never ever suspect"

Song Zhenyu seemed to be a light sleeper. As the familiar song rang in her ears, she shot open her eyes in a daze.

Catching the sight of the face of a handsome boy, Song Zhenyu subconsciously revealed a smile.

[Ding! Host stirred up the heart of Song Zhenyu, one of the female leads, rewarding 200 villain points.]

"I know you sing well, but you don\'t have to come to the office to sing. I\'m really sleepy."

Though Song Zhenyu was woken up from her sleep, she didn\'t get angry but said in a gentle voice.

"Sister Zhenyu, I want to go back home. I\'m here to ask you to grant me leave." Wang Haoran handed out the leave letter and a pen.

"You too are here for leave?" Song Zhenyu asked casually.

"Who else came to ask for leave?"

"Chu Bai." Song Zhenyu was obviously a bit disgusted when she said the two words.

Song Zhenyu naturally didn\'t want to grant Chu Bai leave, but as he had the approval from the Principal, she had to.

Why did Chu Bai ask for leave?

Wang Haoran was somewhat puzzled, but now was not the time to think about it.

He pointed to his leave letter and said, "Sister Zhenyu, I need your help."

Song Zhenyu didn\'t inquire about the reason and immediately signed on the leave letter.

Since Wang Haoran, a brilliant student of her class wanted to ask for leave, it must be a particularly important matter.

She didn\'t want to inquire before approving his request.
