Chapter 541: Chapter 353 Hurry Back!_2
Jiang Yanan was eating a steamed bun when he almost choked seeing the scene.
Shen Xu and others were laughing together.
...
The mid-term exam proceeded as scheduled.
In the afternoon, it was the math exam.
At Fourth Middle School, classrooms were assigned based on grades, from room 1 onward. Shen Xu, who had poor grades, ended up in the third to last room.
Shen Xu was recently feeling quite smug, especially after Director Wang’s sudden inspection of mobile phones last night, during which a large number of phones were seized, including those he had rented out.
After the rented phones were confiscated, he simply kept the $80 deposit and the $10 rental fee from the first week that the students had given him.
The old phones he collected were the crappiest second-hand phones on the market, with only a 2.x system, extremely sluggish.
The cost of a phone was only $60.
If the students couldn’t return the phone, Shen Xu made a clean $30 profit without taking on any risk.
Over the recent period, he had rented out about 50 phones. Almost all had been seized in the search, netting him a few thousand dollars.
Shen Xu was extremely pleased with himself, figuring that as the school’s phone searches became stricter, the odds of phones being confiscated would only increase, making his business ever more lucrative.
"I, Shen Xu, am like a pig on a windy spot, rising with the wind."
As for why the school suddenly started searching for phones, Shen Xu just smiled without saying anything.
Of course, it had been his doing behind the scenes.
He wasn’t a fool like Yan Tianpeng and Zhang Chi, who foolishly dealt with routers. How risky was that?
Now, renting out phones, his classmates were even thanking him!
Just as he was thinking about how to expand his business, the invigilator Gao Heshuai entered the classroom.
Gao Heshuai was different from other teachers; he was the only one who wore sunglasses while invigilating.
With a bold and imposing manner, Gao Heshuai sat down, his sunglasses facing the students, making everyone’s heart suddenly anxious.
Unable to figure out his intentions, they dared not cheat.
...
It was still one of the last exam rooms, where students quietly worked on their problems, and the invigilator stood by the front door, the classroom remaining very quiet.
Cui Yu scratched his head in frustration. His once proud plan of using his phone to search for answers fell apart as the signal jammer was activated.
But was that it?
No, it was far from over!
Cui Yu never accepted defeat. Forty minutes of the math exam had passed; it was time.
He raised his hand, indicating he needed to use the restroom.
Cui Yu’s request was granted.
He left the room.
Cui Yu found a secluded spot, tucked the hem of his T-shirt into his pants, cinched it with a belt, then pulled his shirt around his stomach loose, and finally put on black-rimmed glasses, instantly giving himself a more mature air.
He strolled leisurely with his hands behind his back.
"Room 1, Room 2, Room 4, Room 5..." Cui Yu made his choice.
First off, he couldn’t go to Room 1 where Director Yan was invigilating, which was too risky.
He analyzed the pros and cons of each room and, suddenly inspired, chose Room 4.
Cui Yu, with hands behind his back and a stern expression, walked boldly into Room 4.
The invigilator in the room wasn’t the substitute teacher for class 8, so didn’t recognize Cui Yu, mistaking him for a patrolling teacher due to his mature outfit.
Cui Yu inspected each student, and the students, thinking he was a patrolling teacher, were very nervous.
Cui Yu slowly approached Huang Zhongfei, who was busy working on problems. Even though Cui Yu wore glasses and his expression had changed somewhat, Huang wasn’t blind and quickly recognized Cui Yu.
"What’s going on here?" Huang Zhongfei was puzzled.
Only to hear Cui Yu clear his throat, "Ahem!"
He pretended to patrol, leaning over to glance at Huang Zhongfei’s exam paper.
Huang Zhongfei caught on quickly, guessing Cui Yu’s intention. Reluctantly, he had no choice but to play along.
Huang Zhongfei flipped to the multiple-choice section of the math exam, allowing Cui Yu a quick glance: ’acbbd...’.
Cui Yu memorized the answers after several repeats and sneakily checked the fill-in-the-blank questions as well, then left Room 4 quite satisfied.
Cui Yu returned to his own exam room, filled in the answers he had gathered, and couldn’t help but feel smug:
"This school is still at my mercy, isn’t it?"
...
The fourth-to-last exam room.
The proctor was outside, boasting and chatting.
Pang Jiao activated her Mang Niu’s strength, and her burly and powerful arm swung out, ambushing the boy in the front row.
Caught off guard, the boy’s test paper was snatched by Pang Jiao.
Terrified, the boy was about to shout, but Pang Jiao’s fat hand covered his mouth, emitting a peculiar sweaty smell. The boy nearly fainted, unable to make a sound.
After the violence, Pang Jiao lowered her voice, "Brother! Brother!~"
"Save me, let’s be friends!"
Xie Xiaoqian from Class 7 had a livid face. He was humiliated as Pang Jiao embraced him, stealing the answers he had painstakingly guessed.
Under the eaves, Xie Xiaoqian had to bow his head, silently enduring Pang Jiao’s plagiarism.
After the exam.
Pang Jiao was waiting for her sisters in the garden when Xie Xiaoqian surrounded her with some people.
If it wasn’t for Pang Jiao’s excessive bullying, Xie Xiaoqian wouldn’t have chosen revenge. But after the math exam and the second exam, Pang Jiao had covered his mouth again, stealing his hard work.
Xie Xiaoqian brought two brothers. He looked straight at Pang Jiao and pointed at her, arrogantly saying,
"Weren’t you very capable?"
Pang Jiao was about to reply when suddenly Li Shengnan and Zhang Yifei came over, "Sister Jiaojiao, we’re here!"
Seeing the robust figures of the two girls, Xie Xiaoqian was immediately petrified.
Pang Jiao, "What were you saying just now?"
Xie Xiaoqian squeezed out a smile, "Haha, I want to be your friend."
Pang Jiao roared, "Do you want to be my girlfriend, or do you want to be my boyfriend?"
...
Wednesday, the midterm exams were over.
At noon, back home, Xue Yuantong took care of cooking while Jiang Ning went to the Spirit Field on Tiger Nest Mountain with the Spirit Boat.
Near the mountain top, an Array was set up in a forest. From afar, ordinary people could only see lush verdancy and might marvel at the towering trees.
Near the outer mid-slope, a villa district was built, Tiger Nest Mountain Villa District.
There were rich folks who wanted to explore the mountain but were blocked by the Changqing Liquid Company’s security.
Of course, the rich folks were not content. They were among the top echelons of Yuzhou City, well-connected, and it wasn’t an exaggeration to say they could summon wind and rain. However, faced with the formidable Changqing Liquid, they eventually had to back down.
Some of them pulled strings behind the scenes, but later on, the two who went too far mysteriously had car accidents. No results were found from the investigations, so they quieted down a lot.
Since then, Shao Shuangshuang admired Jiang Ning even more. She was a smart person and did not delve too deeply.
Because she knew that as long as she worked well for Jiang Ning, she would get everything she deserved, such as the medicine that was far superior to any cosmetics in the world.
After using the medicine given by Jiang Ning, Shao Shuangshuang clearly felt various changes in her body, and her appearance almost returned to that of her 20s.
Old classmate Lin Han, as well as businesswomen, had asked her more than once what cosmetics she used.
Shao Shuangshuang only said it was internally developed and not yet on the market.
The mist in the forest cleared.
Jiang Ning strolled there; the previous mist was due to the Spiritual Energy he gathered with the Array, combined with other methods to create the surroundings, all at the whim of his mind. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝙗.𝒄𝒐𝒎
The azure sky had scattered white clouds, fresh light cascaded down, the woods were vibrant with life, birds and small animals scurried through the underbrush.
The sound of babbling streamwater echoed, the shimmering stream reflected the lush trees and some unknown small grasses on both sides, where two deer were drinking.
Jiang Ning stepped to the stream’s edge. He did not conceal his form, and the drinking deer were startled and dashed into the woods.
Jiang Ning chuckled lightly. These deer were brought by Shao Shuangshuang, and not only deer but also wild boar, antelope, and various birds.
Tiger Nest Mountain was now abundant with Spiritual Power, which could sustain these animals for a long time with the nourishment of Spiritual Energy. Occasionally, he added some Spirit Grass, so he imagined the taste of these animals would be absolutely excellent in the future.
Jiang Ning sat by the stream, looking at the clear water, where the smooth stones and fish were clearly visible. The fish would sometimes rise to the surface and then dive into the water.
If he wanted, he could even catch fish by hand.
Suddenly, his phone rang. Xue Yuantong sent a message asking, "Dinner’s been ready for five minutes, Jiang Ning, where the heck did you go, are you eating or not?"
Jiang Ning didn’t respond.
"You dare not reply to my message?"
Quickly, Xue Yuantong sent a cartoon image of a rabbit, one that Jiang Ning had won from a claw machine and had always kept on the bed.
"If you don’t come back, it’s going to be dead, I mean it!" Xue Yuantong sent the image, poking the rabbit, "Poke!"
Jiang Ning, "6."
She sent another image where she was holding the rabbit’s throat, "Strangling its neck, it can’t breathe."
Jiang Ning, "Let it go."
