Chapter Twenty: What did you say? Say it again.
"What did you say?"
"Say it again?"
Zhou Ran looked at the capable career woman opposite her, picked at her ear, and made sure she hadn't misheard.
"Yes, when do you plan to go back to school? The boss said he'd like to ask for your opinion."
"School?"
What kind of horror story is this? A thug going to school?
The word "school" has had nothing to do with him since he was born, okay?
Zhou Ran never expected that after transmigrating to this world, she would have to go to school.
Moreover, according to Gu Dan, the secretary sent by Xia Chenggan on the other side, this woman used her abilities to show Zhou Ran what professionalism is.
He arranged the tasks assigned to him in a clear and orderly manner, and gave accurate response times.
Very professional and efficient.
However, the last question caught Zhou Ran off guard.
School? That's definitely a big problem.
"Can I not go? I feel like I have absolutely no need to."
Zhou Ran is not illiterate. Even though he never went to school in his previous life, he later went through intensive study. He is smart, diligent, and has mastered many things.
He didn't feel the need to go to school; what schools taught wasn't suitable for him.
"You have one more year until you graduate from high school. I suggest you get your diploma. A leader needs to have enough credibility to give orders effectively."
Zhou Ran was unwilling, but she knew that Gu Dan was right.
He suffered from a lack of education in his past life; dealing with his subordinates only requires skill.
But he was completely inadequate when dealing with those hypocritical superiors.
This is why he later frantically sought out various teachers to enrich himself.
To become someone in power, one must first adapt to the rules and thoroughly understand them before becoming the one who can change the rules.
"Okay, let's schedule it for Monday the day after tomorrow!"
Since we can't avoid it, we should accept it calmly.
Zhou Ran finalized the matter directly.
Gu Dan nodded in agreement, hesitated for a moment, and then offered a reminder.
"I need to remind you that you are not very popular at school, so please be careful in everything you do."
"The boss said that as long as you don't cause any big trouble, you can do whatever you want."
As a skilled employee, Gu Dan knew how to boost her boss's favorability at crucial moments.
This was something the boss specifically instructed me to do before we left.
"Okay, got it."
Big trouble. What does "big trouble" mean to Xia Chenggan?
Zhou Ran felt that this statement was highly feasible.
According to his observation, Xia Chenggan believed that as long as no one died, it was not a big problem.
In this world, domineering CEOs reign supreme, and the binding force of the law seems rather weak.
He felt many things were unreasonable, but others thought they were fine.
This is the rule of this world, and he likes to find loopholes in the rules.
The world is crazy enough, but where is he himself insane?
"Ahem, is there anything else you need?"
Gu Dan sensed that the person opposite her suddenly unleashed their full aura, as if they were about to wreak havoc.
Silently, I shed a tear of sympathy for the classmates who were about to cause trouble for Zhou Ran.
"there is none left."
"Then I'll take my leave."
Gu Dan packed her things and left the villa, intending to go back and remind her boss that Zhou Ran was no pushover; she was quite something.
CEO's Office
Hearing Gu Dan's reminder, Xia Chenggan smiled but didn't say anything, indicating that Gu Dan should go and do her job.
If Zhou Ran were simple, why would she have piqued his interest and made him care so much?
He wanted to see just how much trouble this guy could cause.
From the small details, one can see the big picture.
He wanted to see what kind of style Zhou Ran had in doing things.
Xia Chenggan called Xia Chengjie.
"Big brother?"
"Are you and Xia Chengping in the same school as Zhou Ran?"
"Yeah, bro, you've been hanging out with that toad too much lately."
Upon hearing Zhou Ran's name, Xia Cheng'an subconsciously frowned, a look of disgust rising within him.
"He'll be going to school next week. Don't get into any conflicts with him. Observe what he does and tell me everything, no matter how small."
"Big brother!"
What does that mean? Does it mean that my brother is really interested in that kid?
Xia Cheng'an was so frightened that he dropped the pen in his hand.
Should he get his brother a psychiatrist checked as soon as possible? Is he crazy?
We should find a master to see if Zhou Ran has been cursed or poisoned.
The more Xia Cheng'an thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his tone was filled with anxiety.
"Brother, I know a master, can I introduce him to someone?"
"Huh? I'm fine, and I'm not crazy!"
Xia Chenggan was both annoyed and amused. What was his younger brother thinking?
"Then why do you want us to avoid Zhou Ran and observe him?"
"I have my reasons. When you meet Zhou Ran, you'll understand why I'm warning you."
Xia Cheng'an was smart and meticulous, and he had the most contact with Zhou Ran.
Xia Cheng'an quickly noticed Zhou Ran's unusual behavior, without needing to explain much.
"Okay, got it."
Xia Cheng'an felt this was a big deal and he would keep an eye on it.
Xia Chenggan hung up the phone.
Xia Cheng'an still called Xia Chengping to remind him.
His interactions with Zhou Ran were minimal; Xia Chengping and Zhou Ran were in the same class.
Previously, because of his older brother's matter, he had caused Zhou Ran a lot of trouble. He reminded him to keep quiet for a few days.
Xia Chengping readily agreed.
Knowing that this guy was just giving him the runaround, Xia Chengan invoked his elder brother Xia Chengan's name, saying it was his order.
Xia Chengping then honestly agreed not to cause trouble.
Leisure time always flies by.
Before she knew it, it was time for Zhou Ran to go to school.
As an excellent assistant, Gu Dan was already waiting at Zhou Ran's house.
That's right, this is Zhou Ran's home now.
In the morning, Gu Dan presented Zhou Ran, who looked unhappy, with a property transfer document.
Zhou Ran glanced at the documents; this was good news, which cheered him up a little.
He is now a moderately wealthy man with his own villa.
"This car is also registered in your name. The boss has specially assigned a driver to be responsible for your safety and transportation."
"Uncle Qing, this is Young Master Zhou Ran. You will be working with him from now on."
Pointing to Zhou Ran, he said, "His name is Yu Qing. He will be in charge of taking care of you from now on. The boss asked if you need a personal assistant, and if so, he will arrange one as soon as possible."
Zhou Ran looked at the driver named Yu Qing.
He knows martial arts, and judging from his standing posture, he has received military training.
He exuded a murderous aura and had a wary look in his eyes; he seemed to be a mercenary.
Xia Chengan thought highly of him, and actually sent someone like him to ensure his safety.
"No need, I can manage on my own."
Zhou Ran doesn't like being served closely; one good servant is enough.
"Okay, please go ahead, otherwise you'll be late."
"Um."
Zhou Ran's good mood was over.
There are some things you can't escape, no matter how unwilling you are.
He got into the car, and the car drove to its destination.
The main gate of Qingyuan No. 3 Middle School.
The students walked in noisily, chattering away.
Have you finished your homework?
"I was so busy playing that I forgot to write it down."
"Whoever wrote it, come back to the classroom later and let me copy it."
...
Youthful and vibrant.
"Look, look!"
"Ah! My crush is here."
...
A person getting out of the car instantly attracts everyone's attention.
With delicate features and a cool demeanor, the same school uniform looked exceptionally handsome and well-fitting on him.
"Oh my, Li Quan, what a coincidence?!"
Li Quan's neck was grabbed and he was pulled hard.
The familiar chirping sounds filled my ears.
"Let me go!"
"Don't be so cold! We're practically childhood friends, and you're always so cold to me when we meet."
If Zhou Ran were here, she would have revealed the person's identity—Poisonous Mushroom.
That's the boy whose little mouth is poisoned and who's dressed like a poisonous mushroom.
"Fu Xuan, let go!"
"Alright, alright, you've always been this picky since you were a kid!"
Fu Xuan let go of his hand and distanced himself. Li Quan was good in every way, except for this serious problem of not getting close to people.
He even did some research and found that this is a type of mental fastidiousness that cannot be cured.
It's so pitiful that she's had this incurable disease since she was a child.
You're too late!
Fu Xuan straightened his disheveled collar and glanced at Fu Xuan sideways.
I was somewhat surprised to see that he was dressed very normally.
Why are you dressed so normally today?
"What do you mean? Do you think I don't dress normally?"
Fu Xuan immediately bristled; his current attire was definitely not normal!
Li Quan stared at him, and Fu Xuan gave in.
He waved his hand haphazardly, "It's all tears when I talk about it. My sister came back and forced me to change it."
Li Quan looked at Fu Xuan's normal school uniform and white inner layer, nodded, and agreed with his sister's aesthetic sense.
Fu Xuan's usual attire is so eye-catching that it sometimes blinds you.
He can make a school uniform come in a variety of colors, and the inner layers are even more diverse.
With that head of seven-colored hair, she was simply the brightest star among the three.
But Fu Xuan still liked to stand next to him.
Every time, Li Quan felt that the way people looked at him was full of pity, and he felt too much pressure.
"None of that matters. I have something to tell you. It seems that Zhou Ran, a toad, has managed to eat swan meat."
"Zhou Ran?!"
The name Li Quan sounded familiar, but I couldn't remember what he looked like.
"It's that gloomy guy from Class 3."
As he spoke, Fu Xuan was afraid of not being presentable enough, so he lowered his head, let his arms hang down, and slid them from side to side a few times.
"Oh, him!"
Li Quan had a match up with someone, that guy from Class 3. He always had his head down, wore big glasses so you couldn't see his face, smelled terrible, and was as gloomy as a water ghost.
She is a character with a personality completely opposite to Fu Xuan's.
From the first day of school, Fu Xuan had his eye on him, often teasing and causing him trouble.
Zhou Ran acted like a doormat, only becoming more gloomy and offering no resistance.
He was such a spineless coward who never talked back or fought back when hit or cursed.
Being naked made people uncomfortable, and Li Quan didn't want to get close to him at all.
All the news he heard came from Fu Xuan's big mouth.
I remember Fu Xuan saying before that that person seemed to like Xia Chenggan and was pursuing him relentlessly.
Moreover, their methods are endless, like a ghost that can appear out of nowhere.
It's impossible to guard against, and it makes people feel annoyed.
Wait, what did Fu Xuan say?
"You're saying he's going to succeed? Who? Xia Chenggan?"
Fu Xuan met Li Quan's surprised expression and nodded frantically, as if to say, "You finally realized it."
"That Xia Chenggan?"
"Mhm."
Li Quan couldn't maintain his expression. In his memory, Xia Chenggan was someone else's child.
"He's gone mad?!"
