Jiang Luofu said, "Director Lu thinks this is gambling, but in my opinion it is just a contract. Calling it gambling is an overstatement. Our world values the power of contracts the most. Since he won, both parties should fulfill the agreed consequences."
“But…” Rude wanted to say something more.
Jiang Luofu glanced at him indifferently: "What, are you questioning what I said?"
Rude's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly bowed and said, "I dare not!"
Zuan's eyes lit up with admiration. The headmistress's queenly aura was simply overwhelming. Even the usually arrogant Rude was like a quail in her presence. Tsk tsk tsk, he had to hold on tight to such a powerful figure.
The others around nodded in agreement. Most of the students felt that Yang Wei had indeed provoked them first, and he deserved to lose. It was a bit unreasonable for Lu De to come out and argue.
However, the head of the teaching department was usually too domineering, and no one dared to risk offending him by speaking out, since they had no connection with Zu An. Now, the principal's handling of the situation was just right, and it satisfied everyone.
Of course, Yuan Wendong, Hong Xingying, Ye Chenliang and others who had a grudge against Zu An were quite unhappy. They thought that the principal had come at the worst possible time. Every time Zu An made a fuss, someone would come to clean up his mess. Damn, was he so lucky?
Yuan Wendong's anger level increased by 444!
Hong Xingying's anger level increased by 444!
Ye Chenliang's anger level increased by 444!
...
Seeing the anger points he had earned in the backend, Zuan couldn't help but laugh, but it was still too little. It seemed he would have to provoke a few more villains in the future.
Just then, Jiang Luofu suddenly spoke up: "Now that Yang Wei has been dismissed, there is no arithmetic teacher in the academy. Since this was a clause in the agreement between Yang Wei and him, let Zu An teach the arithmetic classes until a new arithmetic teacher takes office."
Upon hearing this, an extremely eerie silence fell over the entire room, and everyone involuntarily turned to look at Zu'an.
Rude: "???"
Bai Susu: "???"
Shang Liuyu: "???"
The students: ???
Even Pei Mianman, who was watching the show with a smile, froze. What was going on? Did it mean that she would have to call this guy "teacher" from now on?
Being the center of attention for so long was almost unbearable for Zu An, who was usually thick-skinned. He glanced at Jiang Luofu in the distance and saw her wink at him without anyone noticing. He then remembered that he had taken 7.5 million taels of silver to her that morning to sponsor an honorary professorship, which she had refused without a second thought. Why had she changed her mind now?
But none of that matters anymore. The key is that not seizing this opportunity to earn anger points would be a real waste.
He coughed lightly and said to Lu De, Bai Susu, Shang Liuyu and the others, "Well, from now on we'll be colleagues. Please take care of me in the future."
Rage from Rude +999!
Bai Susu's anger level increased by 999!
What makes this guy so special that he dares to sit on equal footing with them?
Zuan was somewhat disappointed, not expecting Shang Liuyu to not contribute any anger points. It seems this pretty young lady has a pretty good impression of me.
He ignored Lu De and Bai Susu, and instead glanced at everyone else in the room before letting out a long sigh: "I also want to keep a low profile, but unfortunately my strength won't allow it. I'll stop pretending and lay my cards on the table. From now on, please call me Teacher Zu when you see me."
The crowd erupted in uproar. Why did they want to punch this guy for being so smug?
Yuan Wendong's anger level has increased by 999!
Hong Xingying's anger level increased by 999!
Ye Chenliang's anger level increased by 999!
This is absolutely insane! Am I crazy or has the world gone mad? This piece of trash actually became a college teacher?
Anger level from bystander A: +222!
Anger level from bystander B +222!
...
Seeing the massive surge of anger in the background, Zuan couldn't help but laugh. These classmates were really cute, all of them so polite.
However, noticing their murderous glares, Zu An couldn't help but hide behind Shang Liuyu: "Sister Shang, if there's a student riot, you'll protect me, right?"
Shang Liuyu took a deep breath: "Don't even mention them, I'm starting to feel like hitting you too."
On the other side, Rude finally realized what was happening and hurriedly said, "Headmaster, how could you let a student be a teacher?"
“Why not?” Jiang Luofu said calmly. “Over the years, there have been quite a few outstanding students in our Great Zhou Dynasty who have stayed on to serve in schools.”
Rude said, "Those are all extremely outstanding students, each one a prodigy, with superb strength and the support of the masses. What merit does Zu'an have?"
There was one more thing he didn't dare say in front of Principal Jiang: Did he deserve it? He was utterly unworthy.
At this moment, Bai Susu came to her senses and said with a charming smile, "Director Lu, that's not right. This is an arithmetic teacher, not responsible for teaching cultivation-related matters. It has nothing to do with strength. His competition with Yang Wei just now has already proven his expertise in arithmetic. I think he is more than capable of being an arithmetic teacher."
He originally thought that it was too frivolous for Zuan to become a teacher, but seeing Rude's strong opposition, he immediately changed his mind. Over the years, he and Rude had always been at odds and disliked each other. He would definitely oppose what Rude agreed with and agree with what Rude opposed.
Rude's face was ashen: "Bai, this is not the time for petty arguments. Are you willing to let such a student become a teacher in the academy? Wouldn't our academy become a laughing stock in the world?"
