Chapter 23
One o'clock in the morning.
After finishing his security work, Zhang Yu was taking the subway and bus back to his rental house in the suburbs.
As for why the buses and subways are still crowded at one in the morning, it is naturally because one in the morning is the night shift peak time in Songyang City, and many people are rushing to and from get off work.
After returning home and taking a shower, Zhang Yu looked at the balance in his account and wondered if he could buy an air conditioner.
After all, the savings of 8,300 made him feel that his life was much more affluent this month.
However, thinking that it would be next month in two weeks and he would have to pay back another 15,000 loan, he couldn't help but frown.
Recalling what Bai Zhenzhen said.
He murmured in his heart: "The school contract?"
If I sign a contract that gives him a large sum of money every month, then I won't have to worry about loans.
However, Zhang Yu also knew that it was useless to think too much. Whether it was his performance in the Heavenly Martial Arts Competition or the school contract, the root of everything ultimately depended on his own talent and strength.
Thinking of this, he took out the nerve filler he bought at the stationery store at the school gate today and swallowed it.
Then he sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice the Zhoutian Qi Gathering Method, feeling the spiritual energy between heaven and earth flowing into his body.
Although he switched Yu Shu's specialization to Tianwu Lianxin Jue in preparation for the test of Tianren Yanwu Tu today, he had to wait until 24 hours before switching back to Zhoutian Qi Gathering Method in order to continue to improve rapidly.
But anyway, he couldn't cultivate the Tianwu Lianxin Jue because his Dao heart was not yet at level 3, and next he had to prepare for the magic competition to improve his magic power.
Although the Zhoutian Qi Gathering Method cannot be improved quickly today, the Zhoutian Qi Gathering Method that has reached level 4 can help him effectively improve his magic power.
So the rest of the night passed with Zhang Yu breathing silently.
…
Early the next morning.
As soon as Zhang Yu entered the classroom, he found something different from usual.
Normally speaking, most of the students in Songyang High School focus on their own study and practice every day, and don’t care much about other ordinary students in the class.
Even two people in the same class may not speak to each other for months.
It was like no one paid any attention to Zhang Yu when he entered the classroom every day.
Only someone like Zhao Tianxing would wonder whether his classmates were looking at him when he entered the classroom every day.
But today was different. Zhang Yu could clearly feel that after he entered the classroom, his classmates were secretly looking at him from time to time.
As soon as Zhang Yu sat down, Zhou Tianyi patted him on the shoulder and said, "The news that you were accepted as a disciple by Jindan Zhenren has spread throughout the class."
"It seems that the people who went to the exhibition with Qian Shen said it in the group."
As we all know, school is one of the places in the world where gossip spreads the fastest.
Songyang High School is a key high school with high training pressure, many sterilized young people, and everyone has a mobile phone, so the spread of this rumor is even faster.
Not to mention text messages, even the photo of Zhang Yu wearing a security uniform yesterday has spread in the group.
Zhang Yu chuckled when he heard that.
"Has the class started spreading my story? It's worthy of Songyang Speed, so keep spreading it."
In these days when he was forced to practice hard every day, it was a rare pleasure for Zhang Yu to feel others' attention and comments on his excellent performance behind his back.
But then he curled his lips again and thought of a trouble.
Yesterday, Li Xuelian secretly called him to a small meeting and told him about the rejection.
This resulted in many people present not knowing that he had actually been rejected by Jindan Zhenren, and they all thought that as Li Xuelian said on the spot, he was going to be accepted as a disciple by Jindan Zhenren.
"It would seem silly for me to run up to the podium to clarify now."
"Forget it, let them spread it however they want. They should forget about it after a while."
Zhang Yu closed his eyes and continued to practice the Zhoutian Qi Gathering Method, breathing in and out the inspiration.
The discussions among the classmates were just a temporary entertainment.
Just like what he had planned before, his main goal now was still to improve his magic power to the fullest extent and prepare to participate in the city-wide magic competition.
However, this time, Zhang Yu was called out by his head teacher Su Haifeng before he could even breathe a few times.
…
I still remember the last time Su Haifeng called me for a talk was on the third day since Zhang Yu came to this world.
At that time, he still didn't have a deep understanding of Songyang High School and its teachers.
At first, I even mistakenly thought that Su Haifeng was a good teacher who cared about poor students.
At this moment, outside the classroom, when Zhang Yu followed behind Su Haifeng, he could feel the terrifying pressure from the model class teacher and grade director.
Wherever Su Haifeng passed, the classroom suddenly became silent and many students trembled.
Qian Shen didn't dare to move and breathed in and out seriously.
Zhao Tianxing, who had just stood up to go to the toilet, quickly sat back down, picked up a book and started reading.
Even Bai Zhenzhen sat upright like a primary school student, staring closely at the textbook in front of her.
Everyone's nerves were tense at this moment, and they just hoped that Su Haifeng would not stare at them.
This is Su Haifeng, the head of the first grade of Songyang High School, the beloved student in the hearts of countless Songyang students and the author of the teaching and research paper "On the Application Prospects of Electric Shock in High School Teaching."
This is a man who has to read a few pages of a book every time a dog passes by him.
Zhang Yu followed Su Haifeng's field of study all the way to the office. Looking at the demon king, he smiled and said, "I heard that Master Xinghuo wants to take you as his disciple?"
Zhang Yu had no intention of deceiving the school that he had become a Jindan disciple. After all, the lie about whether or not to accept a disciple could be easily exposed, which would put him in a passive position.
So he told the truth: "No, I felt that Master Xinghuo's conditions were still a little bit lacking, so I rejected him."
Su Haifeng's mouth twitched when he heard this.
Zhang Yu's family was originally poor, and he hadn't given himself any gifts in the three months since the start of the school year. Now that he has finally become famous, he actually pretends to be so.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"Is it about signing a contract... to raise your own status?"
It turns out that these poor guys tend to become arrogant.
However, if this is the case, Su Haifeng feels that it may not be so easy to sign the contract later.
"Hmm." After a moment's hesitation, he took out a document and said, "The school already knows about your performance at the Central Building Art Exhibition."
"Although your grades have declined recently, you were criticized by your physical education teacher, you were not active in buying medicine, and I was called by a debt collection company, the school still cares about talents and decided to provide you with some help."
Zhang Yu narrowed his eyes when he heard that.
As expected of a recognized student from Songyang High School, he speaks like a PUA the moment he opens his mouth, right?
Zhang Yu thought about what Bai Zhenzhen had said about the contract and guessed that this might be a prelude to discussing the contract terms.
As he expected, Su Haifeng placed the document in front of him and continued, "The school has prepared a financial aid contract for you. The conditions are much better than the previous poverty-stricken student subsidy plan. Take a look and see if there are any problems."
Zhang Yu took it and glanced at it, and found that after signing the contract, the school would give him 10,000 yuan every month, but this money had to be repaid, but the interest rate was much lower than borrowing.
In addition, he was required to work for ten years in a company under the education group to which the school belonged, regardless of whether he was admitted to university or not.
Songyang High School is a high school under the Wanxing Education Group, and the Wanxing Education Group is under the Wanfa Sect among the top ten sects.
That is to say, after signing this contract, Zhang Yu will work in Wanxing Education Group for ten years.
In addition, during the university application process, Songyang High School has the right to decide which university and major students apply for.
"Ten thousand dollars a month, and you want me to sign this kind of indenture?"
Even if Zhang Yu had not read the contracts of other students, he could tell that this contract was a bit contemptuous.
Zhang Yu put down the document, frowned and said, "Teacher, this salary is too low, right? I work as a security guard in the Central Building and I make 800 yuan an hour."
"Can temporary work last long?" Su Haifeng denied it at first, then changed the subject and said, "I know the salary in this contract is indeed a bit low, but the school leaders have their reasons for doing so."
"After all, what exactly is the content of the examination on the Heavenly Martial Arts at the exhibition? What are the selection criteria? What are the specific qualities of all the candidates? The school does not have first-hand information, so it is impossible to judge for yourself, not to mention that you did not master the martial arts in the end."
"On the contrary, your performance has obviously declined this month."
"School is a place that values grades after all. The evaluation system of 700 points for six subjects is definitely more celestial and reasonable than the Tianren Yanwutu. It is also more valued by the school directors. The contract process cannot escape this point..."
Zhang Yu frowned even more tightly, just because what Su Haifeng said made sense.
In Songyang High School, grades and scores are the most important thing after all.
After all, apart from him, no one in the school knew the specific difficulty and power of the Tianwu Lianxin Jue, let alone that this martial art required a level 3 Dao heart.
However, Zhang Yu did not have the rights to disseminate the Tianwu Lianxin Jue, and no one endorsed him to make people believe his statements about the Tianwu Lianxin Jue.
Zhang Yu: "There is no way I can accept this contract."
Su Haifeng smiled slightly, thinking, is the price going to increase? He said calmly, "Don't worry, I'm your class teacher after all, I can help you get more."
Zhang Yu: "Can the conditions be as high as the ones you offered to Bai Zhenzhen?"
Su Haifeng did not answer directly, but laughed first, but the meaning of his laughter was self-evident.
Then he said, "I am not responsible for Bai Zhenzhen's contract, but I can give you a response. Bai Zhenzhen is the top scorer in the grade with 650 points. How many points did you have?"
Zhang Yu: "As long as I rank first in my grade, can we discuss anything?"
Looking at Zhang Yu's serious face, Su Haifeng took the contract back with a smile: "How much you can score depends on your own ability."
"The contract is mainly based on performance. Although there may be some fluctuations in the details, in general there are only four levels: A, B, C, and D."
"The monthly exam will be in two weeks. If you are not satisfied with the D-level contract, we can continue the discussion after your next monthly exam results come out."
