Chapter 643 The Pride of a Scholar



Xia Che got into the zone very quickly.

Before his soul transmigrated into this body, Xia Che was an otaku, but a high-achieving one.

Because Xia Che has had a talent that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve since childhood: concentration.

He can enter a state of concentration much faster than the average person, no matter what he is doing.

That's true of everything.

Perhaps because Xia Che loved reading comics, when he was young, even at his most active age, he could sit there reading comics for an entire day without moving an inch while sitting at his desk.

This trait leads to remarkable results in learning.

As Xia Che focused his mind, the other examinees also began answering the questions.

Mu Yingying glanced at him and noticed that Xia Che had already started answering the questions, and at a very fast pace. His pen never stopped moving. Mu Yingying had only ever seen such smooth and efficient problem-solving from Shen Yanxin, the top student. She looked away and muttered, "Really...?"

Is Xia Che really capable of doing it, or...?

They were just putting on an act, randomly writing some nonsensical things on the exam paper to fill it up, so that at least it wouldn't look like a blank paper.

Although Mu Yingying's opinion of Xia Che had changed somewhat after the massage she received last time, his reputation at school... calling him a good student would probably make even himself laugh.

"Never mind, I'll finish the test first..."

Mu Yingying shook her head, then picked up her pen and began answering the questions.

For a moment, the examination room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The only sound was the scratching of the pen tip across the paper.

...

Weiyang Middle School, at the school gate.

The school bell had already rung, so the school gate was deserted at this time, with almost no one passing by except for the gatekeeper.

Occasionally, a few students who had taken leave or were late would rush through the school gate in a hurry, but this was relatively rare, and they wouldn't linger at the school gate. Even if they did, they would rush in without stopping.

But at this moment, a row of people was standing at the gate of Weiyang, which was unusual.

They were all dressed in suits and ties, mostly middle-aged, with serious expressions and a certain demeanor. Standing at the gate of Weiyang School, it wasn't hard to guess their identities.

It was the leadership of Weiyang.

As the No. 1 Middle School in Jiang City, Weiyang holds a very high position in the education sector of Jiang City, and its leadership is considered a big shot by most ordinary people.

After all, which family doesn't have a child?

Many people are willing to risk everything for their children's future.

Whether it's throwing money around or pulling strings, they're willing to do anything to get in touch with the leadership of Weiyang.

But now, these important figures, who are seen as sitting high above others in the eyes of ordinary people, are lined up as if waiting for someone to arrive.

Time ticked by, and a middle-aged man who looked slightly younger frowned slightly, glancing at his watch every now and then, seemingly quite dissatisfied with the long wait.

Not long after, he finally couldn't hold back any longer and looked at an old man with a full head of white hair standing at the front, asking, "Vice Principal, how much longer do we have to wait? Is Ning Zheyuan ever coming?"

If a passerby heard this name, they would definitely be startled.

Ning Zheyuan's name is well-known throughout Jiang City. He is the infamous "Smoke Scar" and the only underground emperor in Jiang City.

His numerous titles made him seem like a local tyrant.

But why would someone like that have a connection with an academy like Weiyang?

His arrival even prompted these important figures from the ivory tower to come out and wait for him.

"Xiao Zhang, don't be in such a hurry. This is the first time Ning Zheyuan has asked to meet with us. We need to be patient until we know what he's up to."

The vice principal paused for a moment, then said calmly, "After all, he is the leader of a force and has to take care of everyone in the Yan Yun Gang. Perhaps something has delayed him."

“Vice Principal, we are the school leaders, and we have always kept to ourselves with these underground forces… Based on our status, why should Ning Zheyuan make us wait for him? This meeting shouldn’t have happened in the first place!”

The "Little Zhang" mentioned by the vice principal was actually the director of the first grade of Weiyang High School. He had a great deal of resentment towards Ning Zheyuan, but he swallowed the insults that were about to come out because of fear and changed his way of addressing him.

They are from the underworld and the legitimate world respectively. The legitimate world has always been incompatible with the underworld. He is just the leader of an underground gang. To put it bluntly, isn't he just a rat living in the sewers?

Do people like that deserve to wait for them?

Throughout history, scholars have always possessed a strong sense of pride. Even though their social status differed greatly from Ning Zheyuan's, it did not diminish their contempt for him.

After all, Ning Zheyuan, to put it nicely, is the head of a powerful force, or at least, in the eyes of those who don't understand the situation, a successful person.

To put it bluntly...

Isn't he just a thug who fights and kills all day long?

Does he really think that by putting on a suit and buying the identity of an entrepreneur, he can clear his name?

Pooh!

nausea!

"Xiao Zhang, you seem to have a lot of opinions about Boss Ning?"

The vice principal frowned again and gave him a disapproving look.

If he remembers correctly, Xiao Zhang is almost forty years old this year, right?

The vice principal only called him Xiao Zhang because he was younger than him.

At such an advanced age, how come you still can't learn to be calm and composed?

He's like a greenhorn, easily angered by the slightest dissatisfaction. If he doesn't change this mentality, the vice principal really doesn't intend to let him come along for the meeting later.

“I do have opinions, but I just don’t understand why people of our status would have to meet with someone like him. What if someone with ulterior motives sees this and spreads it around? Even we would have a headache from this kind of gossip. Is it really worth taking such a big risk to meet him, Vice Principal?”

Director Zhang took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

He is not an impatient person.

To be honest, Director Zhang's temper is actually among the better ones.

He once waited for more than three hours in the freezing cold of a snowy day in order to obtain a piece of calligraphy from a master calligrapher.

When the calligraphy master woke up from his afternoon nap, he was startled to see Director Zhang standing in the courtyard waiting for him and quickly pulled him inside.

According to the calligrapher at the time, if he had woken up a little longer, Director Zhang might have had to be sent to the hospital.

I've never seen anyone so stubborn...

According to Director Zhang, he is patient, not stubborn.

Director Zhang will continue to wait for those who have genuine talent and ability.
