Chapter 348 - 346: The Principal Wants to See You
"Oh, I was just asking casually. If you really are the fifth Crazy Young Master, that would be awesome. Let’s see who dares to mess with me in the future. Crazy Young Master’s entourage will beat them to death!" Lin Wushuang explained.
"..."
Chen Tianlong was speechless for a moment. He originally thought Lin Wushuang would be upset about it, but didn’t expect her to be proud of him being a Crazy Young Master. Truly doesn’t understand a woman’s heart!
"Chen Tianlong, come out for a bit, need to talk to you." Suddenly someone appeared at the classroom door. Chen Tianlong took a closer look; it was Principal Situ Feng.
The whole class widened their eyes in surprise, as it was their first time seeing the principal personally coming to find someone.
They didn’t know if Chen Tianlong had stirred up big trouble or done something great, but with the principal involved, the matter was quite extreme—either excellent or terrible.
"Chen Tianlong, the principal is calling you, why are you still standing there?"
Although Lin Wushuang was surprised, seeing Chen Tianlong still unmoved, she got anxious immediately and quickly gave him a stomp.
Chen Tianlong instantly came back to his senses, but by then the principal had already turned around, walking to the hallway, waiting for him to show up.
"Hurry up!" Lin Wushuang urged again.
"Okay, got it."
Chen Tianlong walked out somewhat reluctantly, thinking there was no need to hurry since the others didn’t know, but he knew the principal wouldn’t dare do much to him.
Very soon, Chen Tianlong reached the hallway, and by then the principal had turned his face to him. When they saw each other, they exchanged a slight smile.
"Chen Tianlong, let’s go downstairs, we can talk while we walk."
Situ Feng seemed to have something to discuss with Chen Tianlong, so Chen followed him downstairs. Before long, they arrived at the soccer field.
Since it was already class time, there were not many people on the sports field. Aside from one or two classes having PE, the field was basically empty.
The conversation finally started. Situ Feng said, "Chen Tianlong, you’re aware of the recent events, right? I’m here to discuss something with you."
"Discuss? Principal, don’t joke with me. Whatever you have to say, just say it." Chen Tianlong dared not assume authority, how could he discuss with the principal?
"Haha, Chen Tianlong, you’re overthinking it. Do you not know your own standing? Alright, let’s not ramble. A man of high status, Huang Zhong, has recently come to the school. He’s quite powerful, and this time he voiced a challenge to the Four Big Crazy Young Masters, I presume you’ve heard."
Situ Feng paused deliberately at this point to see Chen Tianlong’s expression.
But he only saw Chen remaining calm, and with a bitter smile, he continued, "Chen Tianlong, this time you, as one of the Crazy Young Masters, have to step forward. Based on what happened this afternoon, everyone’s already abuzz about you. If you don’t come out, Huang Zhong won’t give up, and even digging three feet deep he’ll find you. By then even the principal’s office won’t be able to withstand."
"Alright then, I never thought being a number three student wouldn’t be easy. But principal, I truly am a good student." Chen Tianlong was also somewhat disheartened upon hearing this, and looked up with a bitter smile.
"Haha... Of course I know, ever since you entered the school, I had faith in you. Well, that’s all for today. From now on, I won’t pressure you, just handle it as you see fit."
Situ Feng knew Chen Tianlong was a sensible person, so there was no need to say much; he would understand.
Watching Situ Feng’s departing figure, Chen Tianlong took a deep breath, shook his head, and returned to the classroom. This class was Gu Xiaofeng’s math class. Upon seeing Chen Tianlong return, she smiled slightly, changing her previous attitude.
It was partly due to Chen Tianlong’s special identity and partly because it was the principal who asked for a conversation, leaving her no reason to be angry or blame him.
Soon enough, it was Wednesday, a special day when both students and teachers at the school felt somewhat excited.
After all, Huang Zhong’s arrogant demeanor was suffocating, to the point where even the principal couldn’t manage him. They had to rely on the Four Big Crazy Young Masters to curb his arrogance.
Today, a bit after five in the afternoon, was the end of the second class, so the outdoor stage was decorated into a battle platform with various banners.
Since it was Huang Zhong’s affair, the principal told the student council to make it as grand as possible.
This way, if the Four Big Crazy Young Masters won, then even if Huang Zhong were arrogant, he’d have no face to stay at school. If only he could return to the Capital City, Situ Feng would be relieved.
If not, letting him cause more uproar, who knows what the school atmosphere would become.
Although the influence of the Four Big Crazy Young Masters isn’t great either, Situ Feng knew that at least he had leverage over them all. Their crazy reputation was just a name; in front of him, it was empty.
Whether it was Liu Wenbin or Hao Jian, their families had shares in the school and would definitely avoid doing anything extreme.
And Chen Tianlong, even more so—he was under the command of the Lin Family, which was also the second-largest shareholder in South Sea No.1 Middle School. How could he possibly go against the school?
The showdown of the Four Big Crazy Young Masters versus Huang Zhong had long been a hot topic.
Hence, almost everyone on campus knew about it. Students and teachers from various grades crowded around the platform, with at least one or two thousand people when glanced at.
This was, besides the school sports meeting and school anniversary evening party, the most-watched event.
It was also an important event for the school. Originally considered bad influence behavior, to make the platform fight seem more authoritative, Situ Feng intentionally arranged some judge teachers and student council members to make decisions.
To prevent Huang Zhong from refusing to admit defeat if he lost, which would render the stage pointless.
"Hello, fellow students and teachers. Good afternoon. Due to the rushed nature of this event, the stage design is quite crude. However, our beloved principal highly values this competition, thinking it encourages everyone to focus on fitness as well as academics. Next, let’s welcome the contestants."
Student council president Zhang Liang shouted into the microphone, pulling his voice. Although it wasn’t a bass cannon speaker used for usual evening parties, it was still decent quality, used for student council meetings.
One must admit, Principal Situ Feng was indeed clever; he turned what was originally a bad influence into something so positive, even bringing up fitness, making Chen Tianlong smile wryly.
As soon as Zhang Liang finished speaking, Huang Zhong, accompanied by two teammates, strode onto the platform. Facing the Four Big Crazy Young Masters, he didn’t bring too many people, three including himself were enough.
"Hello, students and teachers. Good afternoon. I am Huang Zhong, a newly transferred student. This time, in response to the principal’s call, I heard the Four Big Crazy Young Masters here are quite remarkable physically. I wanted to challenge them as an example, to show how important a strong physique is, rather than just being bookworms."
Once on stage, Huang Zhong followed Zhang Liang’s words, spouting nonsense, shamelessly praising his own contribution.
"Wow..."
An uproar ensued from below the stage, with some uninformed students still praising, while others secretly cursed. Especially with the fan groups led by Liu Wenbin and Hao Jian, they began insulting Huang Zhong, calling him an idiot on stage.
