"Du Chen, just tell me clearly what your conditions are!"
Du Chen's head teacher asked Du Chen while covering his forehead. His head was aching slightly now.
"Teacher, I'm telling the truth, and I don't have any conditions."
Du Chen looked at the head teacher with an innocent face.
"If you have the conditions, tell me now. Don't wait any longer. How could I not know what you're thinking?"
"There is a tiny bit of hope..."
Du Chen used two fingers to indicate a small distance and said to the head teacher.
"Du Chen, you're so slow, just say it!"
"Teacher, is it okay if I don't do my winter vacation homework?"
Du Chen stated his conditions: not having to do homework during the winter and summer vacations. This has always been a small dream of Du Chen. Now that he has the opportunity, Du Chen certainly wants to give it a try. He also plans to plan his future path during the winter vacation. Of course, not wanting to do homework is his sincere and most important idea.
"No, that's impossible!"
Du Chen's homeroom teacher quickly rejected his idea. In the teacher's opinion, is it okay for a student not to do their homework? That's totally outrageous!
Du Chen looked at the head teacher who directly rejected him, without saying a word, just staring at the head teacher.
The head teacher felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Du Chen like this. After thinking about it, the head teacher spoke to Du Chen again.
"Du Chen, although winter vacation is a time for rest, you can't relax yourself..."
The head teacher stammered out a reason.
Du Chen still didn't say anything and continued to stare at the other person.
"Du Chen, how about this? Can I have half the winter vacation homework?"
“…”
"Tell me what you want, just mention it!"
Seeing that Du Chen didn't say anything, the head teacher gave in first.
"How about this, teacher? If I can get into the top three in the competition, then I won't have to do my winter vacation homework! Is that okay?"
Du Chen expressed his thoughts.
The head teacher pondered for a moment and looked up at Du Chen.
"Well, let's both compromise. I'll add one more thing: if you agree, you don't have to do your winter vacation homework! How about that?"
"Teacher, you speak, I listen!"
Du Chen thought about it and asked the head teacher to tell him his conditions. Anyway, everyone was asking for exorbitant prices and paying low prices.
"Well, if you ace the final exam, I'll let you skip your winter vacation homework."
The head teacher had his own plans.
"Top three in the grade."
Du Chen said.
"Okay! That's a deal then. If you rank in the top three in the competition and the top three in your grade on the final exam, you won't have to do your winter vacation homework!"
"Okay, teacher, I promise to complete the task!"
Du Chen stood at attention and said happily to the head teacher that since participating in the competition was already a fact, he might as well find a way to get some benefits for himself. If he succeeded, that would be the best, but if he failed, he would not lose anything.
"Okay, let's go back to class!"
After the terms were agreed upon, the head teacher revealed his true colors again. He waved his hand impatiently at Du Chen, signaling him to get out.

"Mi Duan, how are things going over there?"
In the office, Lao Ding leisurely drank a sip of tea and called Mi Duan.
"Everything is going smoothly on our end. We've already started checking the accounts, and we'll probably have results soon. How about you? Has Liu Baojun made any moves?"
Mi Duan's voice on the other end of the phone was very cheerful.
"No, he's probably still hoping someone behind the scenes will help him run things. Anyway, now that we have solid evidence, it doesn't matter whether Liu Baojun speaks up or not. But it looks like he won't be able to hold out for much longer."
Old Ding spoke to Mi Duan in the same cheerful tone.
"That's great. We can keep in touch by phone anytime. When all the problems are almost resolved, we can go directly to the branch director and report directly to him!"
Mi Duan pondered for a moment, then said to Lao Ding.
"Okay, I'll let him hang out for a while, and then I'll go ask Liu Baojun later!"
Lao Ding ended the conversation between the two.
"Old Ding, how are things going? You seem quite relaxed, drinking tea here without even reading a newspaper?"
Lao Ding had just put down the phone when Comrade Lao Du pushed the door open. Although he looked at Lao Ding with anticipation, he also kept teasing Lao Ding.
"Tsk, I went to the living quarters early this morning just for you. Can't I just stand here and sip my tea?"
Lao Ding rolled his eyes at Comrade Lao Du and spoke to him with the same disgust.
"Sure, why not, Lao Ding, do you want me to give you a leg massage? To relax you a little?"
Comrade Lao Du walked up to Lao Ding and asked him with a wicked smile.
"No! I'm afraid you'll break my good legs!"
How could Old Ding not know that Comrade Old Du had evil intentions in mind?
"Look, I told you to give me a leg massage, but you didn't use it! By the way, what's going on? Has Liu Baojun been caught?"
Speaking of this, Comrade Lao Du is looking forward to it.
"Don't worry, he's been brought back and is in the interrogation room now!"
"What's the situation now? Has the other party confessed?"
"Not yet. Let him stay in the interrogation room for a while. We'll interrogate him later. I guess he won't be able to bear it by then!"
Lao Ding said to Comrade Lao Du with great confidence.
"This is your specialty, just do what you think is right!"
Comrade Lao Du flattered Lao Ding, but Lao Ding was fooled by Comrade Lao Du's words. He smiled with satisfaction, then picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"Leader, Liu Baojun has confessed!"
Just when Lao Ding was feeling very proud, Xiao Wang knocked on the door, came in and said to Lao Ding.
"Confessed? It seems the other party's psychological quality is just average! Let's go and take a look!"
Lao Ding said to Xiao Wang, then stood up, picked up his teacup, and walked towards the interrogation room.
"Old Ding, what about me?"
Seeing that Lao Ding had forgotten that he was about to walk out of the office, Comrade Lao Du hurriedly asked Lao Ding.
Old Ding slapped his forehead and turned to Comrade Old Du and said.
"Why don't you wait here for a while? Or go back to the repair shop?"
"Can I go and listen to that, too?"
Comrade Lao Du was curious about how the interrogation was conducted, so he asked Lao Ding expectantly.
"That won't do! It's against the rules. Besides, if you sit there, how could Liu Baojun not know you're up to something? I think less trouble is worse than more. You can just wait here or go back to the repair shop for a while."
Old Ding told Comrade Du that, first of all, discipline forbids it. Furthermore, wouldn't Liu Baojun know everything if Comrade Du showed up? While he wasn't afraid of retaliation, given Liu Baojun's uncertainty about whether he could escape justice or even survive, what if word got out that Comrade Du was the mastermind? How would he stay in the engineering section? For both moral and logical reasons, Old Ding could only reject Comrade Du's idea.
