Wang Zheng: ? ? ?
Upon hearing the voice on the phone, Wang Zheng was immediately filled with question marks, and then he started cursing.
"Hey! Chu Xiaoman, where the hell have you been? What's wrong with you? You call me first thing in the morning and don't say anything. What are you eating, eight-treasure porridge?!"
Just as Wang Zheng was shouting in frustration, he suddenly heard the noise of a phone being dragged. It was then that Chu Xiaoman finally noticed the phone call, which was being used by Chu Xiaoman to test whether she had been released from the dark room.
Seeing that the call had been connected on her phone screen, Chu Xiaoman immediately put down the delicious food in her hand.
"Hey Wang Zheng, you bastard, how dare you block me?"
Wang Zheng casually replied:
"Oh yes, yes, I know I was wrong. Um, I'll come to apologize in person right now. Is your grandfather home?"
"Grandpa wasn't here. He went to the martial arts school early this morning, saying he wanted to give..."
"Okay, bye!"
Wang Zheng hung up the phone decisively with a cold expression, completely ignoring the fact that Chu Xiaoman on the other end was already furious, like an enraged lioness.
He then casually threw on a jacket, said goodbye to his mother, and went out.
After all, the principal is all alone now. He shouldn't be so angry about the list that something bad happens to him. Wang Zheng is really worried about Old Man Chu's arrogant and irritable personality. He's afraid that Old Man Chu might just run to the capital and risk his life.
Wang Zheng ignored the call requests that kept popping up on his phone, went out, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for Nanjing University.
Actually, he wasn't really worried that his principal would do something rash. After all, with his current strength, it was hard to say whether he could even fly to the capital. He was just worried that the newly released Grandmaster Ranking would affect Old Man Chu's mentality and make him give up on himself.
In any case, his injuries are quite difficult to heal. If he really loses confidence in himself, then recovery will be really difficult.
As the car sped along, the gates of Nanjing University soon came into view.
After getting out of the car, Wang Zheng ran very fast. Seeing that the main gate was closed and the gatekeeper was not there, he slapped his forehead, turned to the training ground, and skillfully climbed over the wall.
The main gate is closed from the first to the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and the old man is also on holiday. Only the side gate of the staff area is open.
But he wouldn't need to go through all that trouble to get into the school; wouldn't it be better to just climb over the wall?
If it weren't for the large number of people and distractions during the Chinese New Year, he would have flown directly from home.
Rushing all the way to the entrance of the martial arts hall, Wang Zheng spotted from afar a figure wrapped up tightly in the snow standing in front of the detached house.
She was kicking the snow on the ground out of boredom. The fluffy snowflakes flew everywhere, reflecting colorful light under the sunlight, and landed on her hair, clothes, and even cheeks.
However, Chu Xiaoman was completely unaware, muttering things like "Bastard, I'll kick you to death, I'll kick you to death!"
The scattered snowflakes drifted down gently, making the little girl in the light yellow cotton-padded jacket stand out, especially her pair of big, bright black eyes, which were now idly darting around, looking utterly adorable and innocent.
Wang Zheng chuckled inwardly: "I didn't expect this guy to actually come..."
Before he could even get close, Chu Xiaoman, having noticed Wang Zheng's arrival, immediately rushed over and delivered a powerful headbutt.
"Wang Zheng, you bastard, you hung up on me again. Didn't you come to apologize in person? Why did you come to the martial arts academy?"
Wang Zheng calmly reached out and blocked her head, then pinched Chu Xiaoman's little face, which was red from the cold, and picked her up. He then climbed upstairs in a few steps.
He casually replied, "My phone is dead, and I need to speak with the principal urgently."
Then he looked at Chu Xiaoman, who was wrapped up like a rice dumpling in his hand, and curled his lip in disdain.
"And this is the kind of person who dares to call themselves an Awakened One? They can't even stand this little bit of weather, it's truly shameful..."
Before Chu Xiaoman could reply, Wang Zheng pushed open the half-closed door and went inside.
"Principal, Happy New Year! I've come to wish you a Happy New Year!!!"
Without waiting for Chu Tianxing's response, Wang Zheng went straight to the inner hall.
He smelled a faint sandalwood scent inside and knew that incense must have been offered to the old principal just now. Although he didn't know what Old Man Chu and the old principal had talked about, he just hoped it was all good news.
Chu Tianxing, however, showed none of the anger Wang Zheng had expected. Instead, he remained remarkably calm. Sitting on the sofa, he saw Wang Zheng and his granddaughter enter and spoke to the photograph on the wall:
"Since you're all here, let's all light some incense. You should all know each other, so I won't introduce you."
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiaoman's expression turned serious. She obediently stepped forward to light incense, then gave one stick to Wang Zheng, and bowed respectfully to offer incense.
He seemed to be doing it with practiced ease, so it must not be his first time.
Wang Zheng followed suit, but he couldn't stop talking.
"Hello, former president. It's nice to meet you. I am Wang Zheng, the successor to the president of Nanjing University."
Under my leadership, Jingnan University will catch up with Shanghai University in three years and surpass Beijing University in five years.
Rest assured, I will definitely be self-disciplined and courteous, strict with others and lenient with myself…
Before Wang Zheng could finish speaking, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared out of nowhere and struck Wang Dashao from head to toe. Happy New Year!
"You talk too much nonsense, get over here right now!"
Chu Tianxing was so angry at Wang Zheng that his veins were bulging and his breathing became rapid.
Wang Zheng stood still and took the brunt of the lightning bolt, then obediently went to stand properly by the sofa.
