Song Baiyi pressed the button on the back of the pen twice, and two crisp "click" sounds were heard in the quiet room.
Cheng Zhi felt that it sounded a bit like the preparatory bell before a trial.
Song Baiyi put the pen on the table, looked at Cheng Zhi and said calmly, "Explain it?"
Cheng Zhi pursed his lips and said, "Well, I was impulsive in this matter. I'm sorry. Please, Teacher Song, punish me according to the rules."
Although Xia Yu was the one who made the initial mistake, Cheng Zhi was just angry at the time and went straight to Xia Yu to settle the score without thinking too much. This matter was indeed done by Cheng Zhi himself, so he was willing to take all the responsibilities afterwards.
Song Baiyi raised his eyebrows and replied, "You didn't hit me, why are you apologizing to me?"
Hearing Song Baiyi's words, Cheng Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then he asked after he reacted: "So what does Teacher Song mean..."
"The matter has been investigated clearly. Xia Yu was indeed at fault. However, you physically harmed other contestants backstage without knowing the truth. According to the rules, you should be punished."
Cheng Zhi lowered his head and hummed, without refutation of Song Baiyi's words. He had already made the worst plan in his mind and was silently waiting for his final conclusion.
Song Baiyi tilted his head slightly, and secretly curled the corners of his mouth where Cheng Zhi couldn't see, "But from my personal standpoint, I support your approach."
Cheng Zhi:?!
Song Baiyi pondered for a moment, then slowly commented, "Well, very energetic."
Cheng Zhi looked up and widened his eyes slightly to make sure that what he had just heard was spoken by Song Baiyi.
"Teacher Song... I think your replacement of "energetic" with "easily impulsive" is more in line with my evaluation of myself."
Song Baiyi looked at Cheng Zhi and shook his head slowly, then said, "The word 'impulsive' is more of a derogatory word, but for me, I like your approach very much, so I'm willing to use a commendatory word to describe you, do you understand?"
I like the way you do it.
Cheng Zhi felt quite embarrassed when he heard this.
Perhaps it was because it was rare to hear Song Baiyi praise him so attentively, Cheng Zhi's ears turned slightly red.
He asked hopefully, "So Teacher Song means that I don't have to accept the punishment?"
Song Baiyi chuckled, "Did I say that?"
Cheng Zhi: “…”
I have seen people giving someone a slap in the face first and then giving dates, but I have never seen people giving dates first and then giving someone a slap in the face.
Song Baiyi casually placed his hands on the table. "According to the regulations, you will be warned and criticized."
"But I don't think that's necessary." Song Baiyi pulled a piece of paper from the folder, took his pen, stood up and walked to Cheng Zhi.
With a "click", Song Baiyi put the pen on the table in front of Cheng Zhi, and then tapped the top of the paper.
Before Cheng Zhi could react to what he was about to do, he heard Song Baiyi speak.
"Cut the paper in half, write the apology letter on one half and the guarantee letter on the other half, and remember to sign your name on each copy."
Cheng Zhi was a little confused after hearing this, and looked at Song Baiyi puzzledly, "Don't you need to report the criticism?"
Song Baiyi lowered his eyes, his voice a little tired, "Write it first. The apology letter is written to Xia Yu, after all, you hurt someone, and the guarantee letter is written to me, promising that you will not act impulsively on the show again. Whether to punish me again or not, I will judge based on your sincerity in admitting your mistakes."
After saying that, Song Baiyi sat back, leaving Cheng Zhi sitting in his original position staring at the blank A4 paper on the table.
Apology letter and guarantee letter...This was the first time in Cheng Zhihuo's life that he had heard someone ask him to write these things.
Cheng Zhi sat down and sorted out what Song Baiyi had just said. The matter was a bit subtle, and it took him a while to understand what Song Baiyi meant.
The regulations required that Cheng Zhi be punished openly, but now it seems that with Song Baiyi's instigation, the punishment has been changed to a more decent method.
Cheng Zhi thought that maybe in order to protect his reputation in the show, Teacher Song just asked him to write a letter of guarantee and an apology... Is that right?
No matter what, he still secretly thanked Song Baiyi in his heart.
Cheng Zhi returned his gaze to the white paper in front of him.
Isn’t it just an apology letter and a letter of guarantee?
Just write, there has to be a first time for everything in life: D.
After convincing himself, Cheng Zhi picked up a pen and started making up stories.
Twenty minutes later, an apology letter filled with sarcastic tone and an 800-word essay that seemed to be a sincere guarantee but was actually praising Song Baiyi appeared on two halves of an A4 sheet at the same time.
Cheng Zhi looked at the blank A4 paper in front of him with satisfaction as he filled it up. He breathed a sigh of relief and was about to put down the pen and hand it to Song Baiyi.
When I looked up, I saw Song Baiyi had taken off his glasses and was leaning back in a chair with his eyes closed.
Song Baiyi's head leaned back slightly on the chair, a few rays of sunlight hit him and a breeze leaked in from the window, blowing up the hem of his clothes gently, creating a very quiet and beautiful picture.
Cheng Zhi couldn't help but hold his breath and slowed down his pace as he walked towards Song Baiyi.
In order to avoid making any noise that might disturb Song Baiyi's rest, Cheng Zhi gently placed the two pieces of paper on the table, not daring to make a sound, for fear that he might wake Song Baiyi up by accident.
Cheng Zhi placed the A4 paper next to Song Baiyi's hand. He stared at the smooth and beautiful lines at the finger joints. Looking up, he found a small red mole on Song Baiyi's wrist, which made him look delicate.
Cheng Zhi's gaze unconsciously moved up along his hand. The shirt was not thick, and Song Baiyi was in a relaxed state. Cheng Zhi could vaguely see the smooth lines of Song Baiyi's abdominal muscles through the shirt.
I don't know at what point he had undone two of the neatly buttoned buttons on his shirt. Looking up, there was his collarbone, the smooth lines of his neck, and the obvious Adam's apple as he tilted his head upward.
Cheng Zhi didn't notice that his Adam's apple rolled up and down slightly.
Under Song Baiyi's high nose bridge, his lips also look particularly beautiful. Cheng Zhi discovered that Song Baiyi had lip beads that were slightly upturned, which was a little inconsistent with his temperament, but formed a harmonious beauty.
His eyes were tightly closed, his long eyelashes trembled slightly with the amplitude of his breathing, and there was a faint blue color in his eye sockets. Cheng Zhi felt that Teacher Song might not have had enough rest recently.
Cheng Zhi finally understood why Chen You would cry and howl in the dormitory every day while holding Teacher Song's magazine.
Just when Cheng Zhi was still trying to come to his senses, Song Baiyi suddenly spoke, pulling Cheng Zhi back to his senses.
“Does it look good?”
The next second, Song Baiyi opened his eyes and looked into Cheng Zhi's eyes.
It's terrible. I was caught staring at Teacher Song's beauty like a pervert.
Cheng Zhi calmed himself down and looked away awkwardly, "It looks...good."
I didn't expect you to be so honest.
Song Baiyi didn't look at Cheng Zhi. He pressed his slightly swollen temples, leaned over to grab his glasses on the table and put them on, then took out the two densely written apology letters and guarantee letters that Cheng Zhi had just placed on the table and glanced at them casually.
Then he left a sentence to Cheng Zhi lightly, "Go back, remember to close the door."
Cheng Zhi, who had just been caught, was still a little embarrassed. He was just waiting for Song Baiyi to say let him go.
Cheng Zhi thanked Song Baiyi quickly, then fled the scene at a high speed, not forgetting to close the door.
Cheng Zhi, who successfully escaped from the awkward atmosphere, instantly forgot about the injury on his ankle and ran back to the dormitory quickly.
He ran while cursing himself for having the desire but not the courage to do anything.
In the conference room, Cheng Zhigang left and Song Baiyi received a call.
Song Baiyi looked at the caller, which read "Lin Jiahuai".
He sighed and hung up the phone.
Unfortunately, the other party seemed unwilling to give up. As soon as Song Baiyi hung up, he called back the next second.
After going back and forth for more than a dozen times, Song Baiyi really lost his patience. When he was about to pick up his phone to block the person, he saw several messages pop up on the top of the phone.
"Please answer the phone, please."
"My dad said he would break my legs. Since we have known each other for so many years, can you please give me some face?"
Song Baiyi frowned slightly, clicked on the message column and replied quickly.
"Who is your brother?"
"Okay, okay, if it's not true, then it's not true. Can you answer the phone, brother?"
"Oh no, Dad, can you answer the phone?"
Song Baiyi didn't move. He looked at the text message sent by Lin Jiahuai and felt a little happier. The next second, he received another call from Lin Jiahuai.
Song Baiyi raised his eyebrows, and answered Lin Jiahuai's call just before the call was automatically hung up.
"What's up?"
"Can you please ask for me? Don't tell him that I secretly used the company's shares to invest in the show, okay?"
Song Baiyi turned on the speakerphone and answered while looking through the program information: "Why should I help you?"
"We have known each other for so many years, and you know that I am an impulsive person. Isn't it that I am just rushing to the edge of my seat for my beloved? If it wasn't for the purpose of pursuing Fang Qiao, I wouldn't want to cause so much trouble, right?"
Song Baiyi sighed, "I don't care who you did all these asshole things for, and I don't care what punishment you will receive. I only know that you disrupted the order of the program for your own selfish desires. As the mentor and the largest investor of the program, I have the obligation to protect the right of every contestant to participate normally."
Song Baiyi took a deep breath and said in a serious tone, "You must be responsible for what you have done. This is my last warning to you."
Hearing that Song Baiyi was not going to help him, Lin Jiahuai smashed his cell phone on the other side.
Song Baiyi hung up the phone, feeling upset.
He sighed and prepared to continue working. As soon as he opened the file, he saw Cheng Zhi's certificate that he had just casually inserted into the documents.
Song Baiyi glanced over the 800 words of flattery that Cheng Zhi had written earlier and felt nothing.
He set his eyes on the last part.
Cheng Zhi drew a smiling little man delivering flowers.
Caption: Teacher Song, you have worked hard. Thank you for your hard work for us. I give you a small flower ovo~
Song Baiyi's gaze stayed on the villain, and even he didn't notice that the corners of his mouth were curled up into a smile.
Well, he suddenly felt not so bad.
