Chapter 572: Chapter 367 Who Didn’t Lose_2
That punch was truly something else, bursting Pang Jiao’s forehead acne open!
It left his hand covered in disgusting grease.
Pang Jiao, having taken a punch, felt a fiery pain on her forehead.
Enraged, she raised her strong arm, fending off the incoming fist.
Seizing the opening, she counterattacked with a backhand slap to his forehead, creating a loud "snap!" The force poured out, twisting Duan Shigang’s head sideways, his huge body spinning around.
Like a spinning top, rotating 120 degrees.
Just as Duan Shigang was stabilizing himself to retaliate, Li Shengnan suddenly stepped up and slapped him, swinging him another 120 degrees, followed by another slap from Zhang Yifei, completing the 120 degrees to make a full 360 degrees.
Duan Shigang had made a complete rotation, ending up facing Pang Jiao again.
His head buzzing, he staggered, losing direction and was about to fall to the ground.
Confused, Duan Shigang exclaimed, "Damn it!"
A second later, Pang Jiao unleashed another powerful slap, restoring balance to Duan Shigang’s tipping body, as he began to spin in place again.
Everyone watched, dumbfounded—could a fight really go like this?
Outside in the corridor, Huang Zhongfei, holding a stack of documents, hurried to his class, thinking about the contents of the meeting, his handsome face breaking into a smile.
Good news, hurry back to share with the classmates!
Excited, Huang Zhongfei reached the doorway and couldn’t wait to announce, "Classmates, I have something..."
"Huh?"
His steps halted.
From his angle, Class 8 looked quite different from usual. Most conspicuous were Cui Yu, Meng Gui, and Guo Kunnan standing on their desks at the back.
Further ahead, some students stood on stools, and Huang Zhongfei’s gaze traveled from top to bottom, finally falling on the center, where desks were scattered and an emptied ’battlefield’ was visible.
Huang Zhongfei stared at the continuously spinning Duan Shigang and the slapping Pang Jiao and others nearby. Initially puzzled,
once he realized what was happening, he rushed forward, urging, "Stop fighting, everyone!"
...
The great battle ended.
Class monitor Huang Zhongfei held some authority, and everyone gave him face, stopping the ruckus to mediate.
Sayings like "Three years as classmates is fate not easily forsaken."
"Fighting only harms goodwill."
"Harmony is precious, feuds should be resolved, not escalated."
Eventually, the conflict subsided.
Duan Shigang was left dizzy and gasping for air, having nearly lost half his life.
Pang Jiao was using alcohol to clean her face, which looked terrible with several burst acne spots.
Occasionally, she gave Duan Shigang a fierce, furious look.
Duan Shigang, unafraid, responded with a look of utter disgust.
Pang Jiao was nearly explosive; she swore she would have strangled Duan Shigang if the class monitor wasn’t there!
The class quieted down for a few minutes, and Huang Zhongfei sighed deeply, finally speaking,
"The school has called us to a meeting to inquire about the canteen issues."
He slowly explained, "The principal has decided to take back the cafeteria’s contracting rights. We probably won’t see the previous owner this month."
Upon hearing this, Dan Kaiquan shouted, "Good, that owner was incredibly stupid!"
Lu Qiqi added, "Exactly, he had a terrible temper; just last time I even heard the supermarket’s auntie secretly cursing him!" 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝘣.𝘤𝘰𝑚
The cafeteria’s owner, confident in his contracts for both the cafeteria and the supermarket, provided poor service with bad food, which had garnered countless curses from Fourth Middle School students. Today, he was finally replaced.
Chen Siyu touched her water bottle which had survived the brawl unscathed, thanks to Jiang Ning.
"Yuxia, do you know why the cafeteria owner was replaced? Did our complaints actually work?" asked Chen Siyu.
Bai Yuxia thought for two seconds, "Probably not related to the student complaints."
Fourth Middle School students had complained about the cafeteria owner countless times, yet nothing had changed.
Bai Yuxia recalled the last school anniversary; she vaguely remembered some alumni specifically going to the cafeteria to eat, and soon after that, the cafeteria began to change hands.
"It might be related to the school anniversary," she guessed.
Huang Zhongfei continued, "The principal proposed a new cafeteria system; he plans to hire a few chefs..."
After Huang Zhongfei explained, the classmates understood.
The new cafeteria system rule was, anyone planning to eat in the cafeteria must participate in a shared table system, eight students per table, with monthly fees and daily meal costs of sixteen yuan per student.
The standard is 4 yuan for breakfast, 8 yuan for lunch, and 4 yuan for dinner.
Since eight people eat at one table, similar to a family meal format, the variety of dishes is relatively rich and the structure is stable, which ensures nutrition and avoids waste.
Huang Zhongfei said, "Currently, this is just the principal’s preliminary suggestion and hasn’t been implemented yet. We are just seeking students’ opinions."
After hearing this, Dong Qingfeng considered his own situation: he handled breakfast and dinner near the school and went home for lunch.
If he joined the school cafeteria system, he would eat all three meals in the cafeteria.
"It seems, why not?"
He was quick-witted and immediately thought of numerous possibilities, and said immediately,
"Can we choose which students to sit with?"
If that really was the case, Dong Qingfeng could hardly imagine how wonderful it would be when he and Shen Qing’e, Jiang Yanan, Yu Wen... and others gathered at one table, making up seven beautiful girls.
Eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner with them.
How wonderful would that be!
Huang Zhongfei took notes and said, "I’ll mention this point to the teachers."
Cui Yu asked, "How’s the food? I hope it’s not awful again."
"It should be fine. The principal said they are taking it seriously this time," Huang Zhongfei responded.
Zhang Chi spoke up, "16 yuan is a rip-off, isn’t it? Can’t we reduce it to 10 yuan a day?"
Pang Jiao was discussing the cafeteria’s food quality with her friends, and when she heard this, she felt annoyed. She turned and glared at Zhang Chi,
"16 yuan and you’re still complaining? If you can’t afford it, don’t eat. I’m afraid I’ll starve at 16 yuan!"
Zhang Chi was puzzled, "Can’t I just ask? The class leader said we are gathering opinions."
Pang Jiao retorted, "If you can’t afford the meals, just ask your family for more money."
Zhang Chi was provoked and said, "You’re so fat, why don’t you eat less?"
Seeing another argument brewing, Cui Yu intervened:
"Hey, hey, let’s all calm down. Please don’t fight."
Pang Jiao shouted, "Zhang Chi, say that again!"
Zhang Chi, angry, stood up: "I said you’re fat, fat, fat! You are fat!"
Pang Jiao screamed, "Ah! I’m going to hammer you!"
Class 8 was again in chaos.
Jiang Ning said, "Stop arguing, let the class leader finish."
The class quieted down.
Huang Zhongfei was ready to rush down from the platform but seeing that Pang Jiao and others stopped arguing, he cheered up and continued gathering student opinions on the cafeteria.
...
Wednesday, morning self-study.
After a night of self-healing, Duan Shigang recovered and entered Class 8 with a heavy heart.
He met Huang Zhongfei head-on and managed a smile.
Seeing this class leader for the first time, he actually found him a bit unpleasant, just because the guy was too handsome. Had it been in junior high, Duan Shigang would have definitely picked a fight.
However, after last night’s events, Duan Shigang’s perception changed a lot.
Last night, before school ended, Huang Zhongfei told all the classmates to keep the fight a secret, that Class 8 would handle its own issues internally.
Thanks to this, although the fight was intense, the lack of teacher involvement allowed Duan Shigang to avoid school punishment.
Duan Shigang arrived early, and the few heavy girls hadn’t arrived yet; he felt somewhat relieved.
But he was still a transfer student, without any mates in Class 8 to talk big with.
Just then, Cui Yu came over, praising him: "Bro, that was badass, fighting with Pang Jiao."
Duan Shigang was startled and said, "She didn’t show me respect, of course I fought them!"
Cui Yu asked, "What if you had lost?"
Duan Shigang quickly replied, "Even if I lose, I still have to fight!"
"Good, Brother Gang, so domineering!" Cui Yu applauded and praised.
"Next time you deal with Pang Jiao, definitely count me in, brother. I’ll surely help you!" Cui Yu said.
Zhang Chi passed by and said to Duan Shigang: "Next time you fight Pang Jiao, call me, no matter where I am, I’ll definitely help you."
After saying this, Zhang Chi didn’t stay and walked away.
Duan Shigang was surprised; had he just gained two reliable allies?
