Chapter 11 Chapter 11 (Catching Bugs) "The client is really this...
"Did the client really say that?"
There were quite a few people on the bus, with a few students holding onto the boom in the front. Ren Xiaoyue sat in the back seat of the bus, with Zhe on her left and Gretel on her right. Zhe folded his arms and asked doubtfully.
"You suspect Xiaoyue of lying?" Gretel immediately condemned, "You usually don't like to work, and now you suspect others casually! Don't you feel offended?"
Ren Xiaoyue was sandwiched between them, smiling and trying to be a peacemaker: "Teacher Gretel, calm down. Thank you for standing up for me, but maybe Teacher Zhe is just asking? Being cautious is a good habit, I don't feel offended."
She continued, "That's what the client really said. Why should I lie to you?"
Zhe said "Oh" and stopped talking. He felt a little regretful after asking this question, but he was used to questioning, so he couldn't help it.
Zhe stopped talking, and Gretel tried to find a topic for a long time, but Zhe ignored him. Only Ren Xiaoyue responded to him. Finally, he gave up letting Zhe speak and turned to ask if Ren Xiaoyue had any personal relationship with his students.
There was nothing to hide about this matter, so Ren Xiaoyue concealed the past of Bertram and Berend and briefly talked about what happened last semester. Ren Xiaoyue was a good speaker and Gretel listened with great interest.
In addition, Ren Xiaoyue followed Gretel's words and chatted with him for a long time. When it was time to get off the bus, Gretel patted his chest and promised that if Ren Xiaoyue encountered any trouble in the future, she could come to him at any time.
Big breasts and no brains... Ren Xiaoyue thought so, but did not say anything to offend Gretel.
Building a good relationship with Gretel is also part of the plan.
After getting off the bus, Ren Xiaoyue and her group did not delay and directly borrowed an empty practice room from the school.
The practice room is very large, with a ring-like platform in the middle, surrounded by seats like audience seats. In addition to being used by students for classes, this place is also used for events or private discussions like we are doing now. When the students put on their protective gear, Ren Xiaoyue also sat down beside them.
This time they did not maintain the seating order in the bus. Gretel sat down only after Zhe sat down. He sat next to Zhe without hesitation. Now the seats were changed so that Zhe sat in the middle, with Ren Xiaoyue and Gretel on his left and right.
The teachers in the audience sat down, and the students on the stage started fighting. Ren Xiaoyue observed their actions and frowned slightly.
She didn't expect that the fighting methods of these students would be so crude in her eyes now. It is slow, has many flaws, and the use and exploration of superpowers is still in the initial stage.
But it doesn't matter. Ren Xiaoyue, who has acted out the role countless times since she traveled through time, slightly adjusted her expression, pretending to be curious, watching the competition with starry eyes, and occasionally asking the students why they did this.
While she was asking a hundred thousand questions and Gretel was explaining it to her, someone suddenly walked up behind them and interrupted their conversation.
"Haha, it's good to be young. Students are very energetic, aren't they?" said the man.
Ren Xiaoyue turned around and found that the person who spoke was a white-haired old man with a smile on his face and a plump figure, a bit like the Maitreya Buddha from Ren Xiaoyue's world. The old man was dressed simply and was standing with his hands behind his back, watching the students fighting on the ring.
Ren Xiaoyue nodded and said in agreement: "Seeing them like this, I also want to go down. It's a pity that I don't have special abilities, so I won't have the chance to sweat there."
When Zhe saw the old man, he paused and then looked away. He behaved the same as before and did not join in the conversation. But Gretel, who was talkative just now, was stuck when he saw the old man. He stared at the old man, seemed to want to say something but stopped under the old man's gaze, and finally pretended to be calm and continued the conversation.
"Don't praise them, these kids still have a lot to learn!"
The old man walked over to sit next to Ren Xiaoyue and said cheerfully, "Students are in the prime of their life, and it's good for them to be doing what they are doing now, right?"
Gretel did not refute the old man. Then Ren Xiaoyue continued to ask questions, but the person who explained to her gradually changed from Gretel to the old man. After Lu Ze used a trick and narrowly knocked the last man off the stage, the old man stood up, patted his clothes, said goodbye to Ren Xiaoyue, and strolled away.
After the old man left, Gretel couldn't help it.
"Don't you know that man is the principal?" Gretel even forgot that his students had lost, and he couldn't wait to ask Ren Xiaoyue.
"Ah?" Ren Xiaoyue blinked, looking a little stunned. "Principal?"
In fact, when the old man approached them from behind and Zhe and Gretel did not react at all, Ren Xiaoyue realized that the old man was probably a very powerful character. When I turned around and saw the person's face, I felt that it was as I expected.
Of course I knew that was the principal. He appeared at this time in the original plot, but I couldn't recognize him. Treating him as an ordinary old man was more dramatic and easier to be on camera. Ren Xiaoyue thought so, but did not show it on her face.
"Have you never met the principal? He goes up to give certificates to outstanding graduates at every graduation ceremony." Gretel couldn't help but stretch his neck and continue asking, as if he wanted to convey his shock to Ren Xiaoyue.
Zhe couldn't stand Gretel twisting her body to talk to Ren Xiaoyue. The main reason was that Zhe was sitting next to Gretel, and Ren Xiaoyue was sitting next to Zhe. With this movement, Gretel's body was right in front of Zhe.
He pushed Gretel's head away, rolled his eyes cryptically, and explained as if to compensate for his previous questioning behavior: "Xiao Yue just joined the company this year and has not attended the graduation ceremony yet. How can she meet the principal?"
Then, he looked behind Gretel and said, "Your students are here."
Gretel pulled back and saw Berend and his group, who were obviously unhappy, walking towards her with the beaming Lu Ze. At this time, Gretel finally remembered that he had not received this commission. Before leaving with his students, he threatened Zhe: "You will definitely not win next time!"
Ren Xiaoyue wanted to laugh a little, but she held it back.
Like the original plot, she handed the commission to the male protagonist. Adventure and battle are the best ways to bring the relationship closer. This commission is also a plot with a considerable length in the original comic, which is used to depict the progress of the relationship between teacher and student.
Ren Xiaoyue originally wanted to join in forcefully, but Qian Duoduo brought her some not-so-good news. The organization began to investigate the kidnapping of Qian Duoduo's daughter.
Ren Xiaoyue handled that matter relatively cleanly and did not leave any clues, but she knew that the people from the organization came to this city to do something big and would stay for a while. For this purpose, they specially sent Cross, the highly intelligent and cheerful villain designated in the original comics.
In addition, Ren Xiaoyue almost had a face-to-face encounter with Cross that day in order to appear in the comics. She was afraid that if she didn't handle it, Cross would discover her whereabouts, and that would be real trouble. She didn't want to engage in a battle of wits and courage with Cross that would most likely not make it into the comics.
Based on the clues provided in the comics, Ren Xiaoyue provided the organization with wrong hints at the right places, leading the organization's investigation direction into the ditch. She also completed the commission she gave to Lu Ze and the others.
The villain really did all kinds of bad things. When Ren Xiaoyue, who didn't get to participate in the plot, got the entrusted items, she cursed the organization in her heart. The ignorant Lu Ze sitting opposite her happily handed her a box.
Ren Xiaoyue took the box containing the commissioned items and said, "Thank you for your hard work. To celebrate the completion of the commission, how about I treat you to a meal?"
She missed this part of the plot, so she must catch up with the next part.
The protagonists had no reason to reject her proposal. It was Zhe who didn't want to agree at first, but after Lu Ze and the others' request, Zhe couldn't resist and agreed.
This commission really improved the relationship between Zhe and the protagonists a lot. Ren Xiaoyue felt regretful in her heart. If it was before this commission, no matter what Lu Ze and the others said, Zhe would never agree.
After agreeing on the time and place with Lu Ze and the others, Ren Xiaoyue happily held the box and waved goodbye.
-
The sun rises and the moon sets, the moon sets and the sun rises. After two alternations of the sun and the moon, when the sun slowly moves from the center of the sky to a position close to the horizon, Ren Xiaoyue hums a little tune and opens the door.
The dinner was booked for a weekend evening at a restaurant not far from the school. This restaurant is not expensive, but it is not cheap either. Students who don't have much money usually don't go to this restaurant, and they only choose it when they want to improve their meals.
Ren Xiaoyue deliberately picked out a set of clothes that she had never worn before, and went to the restaurant early with her bag. She was really looking forward to this dinner. You know, in the original plot, this dinner would trigger an important event, an event that would lead to Gretel's death.
At this dinner party, he happened to meet Zhe's former teammate, the bastard who tore Zhe's team apart, a man named Lihua. After this man met Zhe by chance, he secretly investigated Zhe's experiences in the past few years. Due to the protection of the principal, he was unable to conduct an in-depth investigation. He only found out that the person who has the best relationship with Zhe now is Gretel.
Then, the mentally ill Lihua wanted to make Zhe suffer again, so he designed to kidnap Gretel. When seeing this, Ren Xiaoyue actually wanted to complain. After all, Gretel was also a level 6 psychic, but she was dealt with so easily. Isn't that too unreliable?
But as she continued reading, Ren Xiaoyue discovered that it was not that unreliable after all. This time, the villain organization has invested a lot of manpower and material resources and transferred a lot of people in order to cause trouble in this city. As a member of the villain organization, Lihua, who has become a small cadre, can mobilize a lot of people in this city.
In addition, the person Lihua really wants to deal with is Zhe, who was once a high-level psychic. Over the years, he has accumulated a lot of resources. Although there would be some losses in dealing with a Gretel, it was within his tolerance.
After reading this plot, Ren Xiaoyue couldn't help but feel that there is a lot of potential for her. No matter who is kidnapped in the end, with the original book in hand and knowing the kidnapping address, she can rescue the person directly or indirectly. If she doesn't make a lot of popularity, then she is a fool.
Well, but first, let's get some plot information before the event begins.
Ren Xiaoyue sat in a private room in the restaurant, picked up the cup in front of her and took a sip of juice. Lu Ze chewed the greasy pork chops with his eyes sparkling. Asthe held a knife and fork, cutting the steak in front of her. Bertram ate his meal in silence and with great grace. Zhe took the spoon and scooped a mouthful of seafood risotto.
Under the warm light, the protagonists sat around a long table covered with a tablecloth, enjoying the food happily, unaware that the next adventure would soon arrive.
I really am like a dark villain who plots against the protagonist. Ren Xiaoyue lowered her eyes, put down the cup and thought.
