Unable to refuse the girl's request, and being kind, Shang Yunmiao took out her holiday homework from her backpack and handed it to her.

After receiving a thank you, Shang Yunmiao watched as the other person happily returned to their seat.

Hmph, don't look down on this little girl just because I chirp "Little Merchant, Little Merchant" all day long.

Despite having the youthful face of an elementary school student, the bright and intelligent Xiao Shang consistently ranked among the top ten female students in the entire school throughout the year. In the city-wide final exam after subject specialization, she achieved a score of 677, ranking ninety-ninth in the city.

Although she may not be ranked second overall in Shangping Experimental School, she is still able to stand out significantly from the third-place student in this small, purely academic class, as she represents the grade in the Mathematical Olympiad.

Just as Chen Bing was feeling proud of his little brother, two more boys walked up to him with serious expressions and said, "The most handsome man in the world!"

As soon as they started talking, Chen Bing knew what they were going to say. Seeing how honest these two guys were, Chen Bing took out his holiday homework from his bag and lent it to them.

Upon seeing how easily they obtained the Ice God's answers, the two instantly reverted to their primal instincts, shouting and yelling as they ran back with their test papers held high in both hands.

That's more like it; that's what it felt like to be in high school in my past life. In the first semester of my freshman year, everyone in Class 1 had pretty good grades, and you'd never see anyone copying homework or fooling around like this after coming back from vacation.

After a moment of reflection, Chen Bing and Shang Yunmiao returned to their seats and began a new week of study.

High school life can be quite monotonous, especially for those who dedicate most of their time to studying, have their own goals, and strive to achieve them.

When we look back on our high school life, we find that apart from a few special things and things we usually do and experience, we can't recall much.

Every day was the same: studying, studying, and more studying. It was so numbing it was almost maddening, nearly driving me to depression. And this feeling of depression would only intensify as high school life progressed.

Along with psychological problems come insufficient rest, lack of exercise, a sedentary lifestyle leading to problems with the buttocks and waist, and a stomach likely to develop issues.

Considering all of the above, it's not hard to understand how frustrated high school students feel when their rare physical education classes, which they can rest from, are canceled for various reasons.

Even privileged individuals like Chen Bing, who are free to go out and play at any time, would feel somewhat dissatisfied with this.

What angered him even more was that after the fourth period of physical education on the afternoon of October 10th was changed to self-study, he was ripped off again at the small supermarket in the school cafeteria.

The incident began like this: after finishing dinner, Chen Bing, feeling about 70% full, suddenly wanted to buy some snacks.

After instructing Xiao Shang to sit quietly and wait for him, Chen Bing went to the supermarket and grabbed two bags of filled yogurt packets.

Chen Bing vaguely remembered that the yogurt buns cost 4.5 yuan each, but when she went to pay, 11 yuan was charged to her account.

2 x 4.5 = 9. I don't think I made a mistake in this elementary school math problem.

Despite his doubts, he remained confident and instead of walking away quietly like the other students, he asked the cashier, "Is it eleven yuan?" and went straight back to the counter to check the price.

The price is indeed four yuan and fifty cents per bag.

With this fact in mind, Chen Bing went to the cashier to ask about the situation. However, since the money that had been swiped could not be refunded, she could only take a piece of chewing gum.

Okay, okay, although you didn't bully me, you've made me unhappy, so you've really bitten off more than you can chew.

Do you even know who I am? Do you even know how powerful I, the Ice God, am in this version? How dare you act like this? I think you're courting death. Watch me gather 100,000 teachers and students and raze your little shop to the ground!

Just kidding, haha.

After a moment of frustration, Chen Bing, not wanting to keep Shang Yunmiao waiting too long, didn't press the matter further. Instead, she vented to the girl on the way back.

Then, a few classmates who were passing by overheard it and started chatting with it.

From them, Chen Bing learned that the school's small supermarket had been engaging in this kind of price gouging since the beginning of the semester. It wasn't that they were deliberately trying to take advantage of students; sometimes the prices were inflated, and sometimes they were inflated. It was purely due to the cashiers' incompetence. They couldn't remember all the prices of the goods, and they frequently made mistakes even in the simplest arithmetic operations.

This is unacceptable! Chen Bing, who never pays attention to prices when buying things, had never heard of such a situation before.

He might have known about it in his past life, but it was just a small matter, so he had long forgotten about it after so many years.

In order to rectify the chaos, the responsible man took Shang Yunmiao straight to the principal's office and prepared to tell Shang Zhengxin about the matter, so that he could order the owner of the small supermarket to give those cashiers a thorough training session and put them through the wringer, so that they would know that they could not slack off at work and that the core values ​​of professionalism had gone nowhere!

He had initially been brimming with confidence, considering writing a lengthy article to post at the cafeteria entrance denouncing this behavior. However, after further consideration, he realized that doing so would ultimately only attract the attention of those responsible. So why not just go straight to his father-in-law and resolve the issue?

This approach aligns with the value of being friendly to others while preventing the negative impact from escalating and causing harm to the person in charge of Mount Tai.

With this in mind, taking advantage of the time before evening self-study began, Chen Bing, who had the second strongest connections in the entire school, brought Shang Yunmiao, who had the strongest connections, to the principal's office.

Unfortunately, Principal Shang is not here.

After touching his phone in his pocket, Chen Bing thought for a moment and decided there was no need to rush, so he didn't call Shang Zhengxin.

Just as they were about to head home, Chen Bing and Shang Yunmiao saw through the second-floor corridor window that Shang Zhengxin, with a big smile on his face, was walking downstairs to the administration building with several other teachers.

Immediately afterwards, he waved to the teachers and then went into the administration building alone.

Soon, Chen Bing and the other person met at the corner of the stairs.

"Uncle Shang, hello." Upon meeting, Chen Bing first extended his hand in greeting.

After raising his hand in response to Chen Bing, Shang Zhengxin took out his keys, opened the office door, and asked them with a smile, "What, did you hear something from someone else?"

The sound of the wind? What sound of the wind?

Seeing Shang Zhengxin's smug face, Chen Bing, along with Shang Yunmiao, asked him curiously, "What's going on, Dad? Has something good happened?"

Shang Zhengxin, who was already in a good mood, felt even better when Chen Bing called him "Dad".

Just then, the office door opened. He put his arm around his son-in-law's shoulder, led him a couple of steps inside, then turned to the two children and smiled, saying, "I'm not going to be the principal of this school anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Bing's heart skipped a beat. She thought to herself, "Is this damn game planner finally going to nerf me in the second year of high school?"

The thought only lingered in Chen Bing's mind for a moment. Looking at Shang Zhengxin's overjoyed expression, Chen Bing guessed and said, "Could it be..."

Nodding emphatically, Shang Zhengxin replied, "Yes, I'll be promoted to director of the county's education bureau soon."
