Chapter 71: Snatching Food from a Tiger's Mouth Will Inevitably Lead to Being Bitten

  The little guy pulled Xue Xiang's big hand towards the classroom on the left, and Xue Xiang was secretly ashamed in his heart. He didn't know which class the little guy was in at all. The little guy, however, was considerate of others, pointing to the middle room of the row of classrooms on the left: "That's my classroom, Class 5! Everyone must remember, I'll test you when I get home tonight!"

  Xue smiled and agreed, he carefully estimated that the three classrooms together had about thirteen or fourteen rooms. Although he didn't know how many children were in each class, he guessed that there were several hundred children in this kindergarten. He held the little guy's hand and walked up the stairs, just as they reached the door of Class Five, they heard a quarrel coming from inside.

  "Director Li, I've said enough nonsense already, this position is mine for sure, you can deal with it."

  "What makes you think you can decide this? Our director hasn't even spoken yet. Is this something you can just decide on your own?"

  "Shut up, let Chen have this spot. My kid's eyesight is poor and can't see the blackboard from far away. Everyone, today, give me some face, in the future whoever has a son who wants to join the army, I'll take care of their enlistment and promotion."

  "This, this..."

  "With this little bit of ability, he dares to speak out. Who would be willing to go and be a soldier? Can our director use this kind of favor?"

  "You..."

  ……….

  ……….

  Xue Xiang had already heard the situation inside from outside the door, a group of officials were fighting for seats with the second generation of officials. He didn't bother to deal with this trivial matter and pushed open the door to rush in. There was a classroom of over 100 square meters with more than 30 small red desks, and there were already twenty or thirty children sitting inside, staring at the comedy show on the stage. The lectern in front of the blackboard was surrounded by seven or eight people, with a middle-aged man wearing glasses in the center, his long face flushed, sweating profusely. Not far from the lectern stood two young women wearing dark blue professional suits, looking anxious and disheveled, staring at Principal Li who was being besieged to the point of dizziness. There were also three middle-aged men with arrogant expressions holding children on one side, ignoring each other, waiting for the result of the negotiation. It seemed that these people were self-important and had sent their secretaries to deal with it.

  Xue Xiang and the little guy's arrival did not stir up any ripples. The crowd was already in a heated debate, who would care about them? Instead, two young women rushed over to greet them, before they could speak, the little guy bowed to the two: "Teacher Wang is well, Teacher Bai is well."

  Xue Xiang was very satisfied, it seems that the little guy's arrogance is only towards himself, and he is very polite outside. He smiled and patted the little guy's head, saying to the two teachers who came forward: "Hello, teachers, I'm Xiao Di's older brother, Xue Xiang, nice to meet you. Xiao Di is quite mischievous, please take care of him at school." Then, he extended his hand for a handshake with the two.

  The little one heard the big brother say she was mischievous, and with a look of dissatisfaction, she rolled her eyes. In front of the teacher, she didn't dare to be presumptuous, but in her mind, she was already planning how to tease the stinky big brother when she got home. The little one let go of Xiang's hand and ran straight to her own seat. As soon as she sat down, the quarrelsome voices suddenly stopped.

  The two teachers didn't even have time to shake hands with Xue Xiang, and hurriedly ran to the little girl's desk, picking her up in one swift motion. The eyes of everyone in the room fell on this scene, and for a moment, the noise resumed, with the arguing voices growing several decibels louder than before.

  "Director Li, what's going on? Someone has taken this table! It seems I haven't agreed yet!"

  "Lao Li, it seems you're not going to give your brother any face after all. Don't come crying to me later."

  "Whose little girl is this, daring to snatch this seat? I..."

  "What's wrong with my sister? Can't sit?" Xue Xiang stared at a young man who was dressed as a secretary, with a small parted hairdo, and asked in a gloomy tone, it was he who had just spoken out of turn.

  After all the fuss, these people have taken the place of their own precious ones. Isn't this snatching food from a tiger's mouth?

  As soon as the host of the house arrived, the quarrel on that side stopped immediately. They all came over to Xue's place, and Li Yuanzhang, who had been struggling for his life, suddenly collapsed to the ground, letting out a long sigh.

  "Listen, kid, I advise you to be sensible and hand over the position to our Director Mao. This position is hot!" Little Split Head said with a cold gaze at Xue Xiang, his words full of threat.

  Xue Xiang was most annoyed with this good-for-nothing, too lazy to waste words on him. With a sidestep, he blocked his body and also the children's line of sight. He grabbed his collar and pulled downwards, quickly lifting his knee to heavily strike his abdomen. Instantly, Xiao Fen's body bent like a shrimp, his face deathly pale, cold sweat raining down, unable to utter another word, acidic water gushing from his mouth.

  "Big brother, what's wrong with this uncle? Did he eat something bad and get a stomachache?" The little girl saw the bad uncle who was just talking to her big brother suddenly collapse to the ground and became very curious. She was being held in the arms of Teacher Bai, and naturally, Xue would also take care of her, where she wouldn't let her see violence.

  "Uh-huh, he ate a lot of ice cream and big meat buns this morning, and since he overate, his stomach is naturally uncomfortable. Little guy, look at how much pain he's in, see if you dare to be greedy again." Xue Xiang used the situation to teach a lesson.

  The little guy looked at the small partition and was in so much pain that he couldn't bear it, where was his faith? He began to bid farewell to ice cream and big meat buns for the nth time, his eyebrows furrowed into a ball.

  Listening to Xue's explanation, the two teachers lowered their heads and suppressed their smiles.

  The two teachers secretly laughed with joy, but scared the group of officials and secretaries who surrounded Xue Xiang. They had never seen such a fierce person who would fight at the slightest disagreement. Normally, they interacted with refined and polite individuals, even if they were secretly fighting fiercely, they would still exchange greetings when meeting in person. The other party was particular about being openly harmonious but secretly ruthless, unlike Xue Xiang who was straightforward and would punch without hesitation. The officials were scared to the point of taking a step back, their hearts racing with fear: This is too barbaric, too unreasonable! We are all people of status, what conditions can we discuss? How can it be like this?!

  They have no idea about Xue's anger in his heart. If he hadn't come today, the kid's seat would have been snatched away for sure. It's not that he can't bear to see blood because of the little friend present - otherwise, he would have used a tooth powder machine to greet him early on.

  "Are you all still interested in this position?" Xue rubbed his fists together, looking at the crowd with ill intentions.

  "Unprovoked assault is a crime!"

  Xue Xiang looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the speaker was a middle-aged man with a round face, who was one of the three self-proclaimed masters. He finally couldn't hold back and jumped out!

  "Then you can call the police."

  A middle-aged man with a round face was choked by Xue's words and shouted: "I, Mao Changshun, am the deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security in Beijing. Do I need to call the police? You're also overestimating yourself." He took out his ID, trying to use his power to intimidate others.

  "I'm from a higher place, Ma said I hurt someone and didn't report it to the police. Do you want to learn from others how to be chivalrous?" His identity was useless in front of Xue Xiang, who stared at him and slowly approached him.

  Mao Changshun was stunned, "What, I don't call the police and let people catch him? Am I stupid? What authority can I show to this little punk? He won't hit me too, will he?" Mao Changshun was thoroughly flustered, backing away repeatedly: "What do you want to do, I'm a minister!"

  Is this what officials were like in the 70s? Their mental quality is far inferior to that of later generations, those leather strap officials are really much worse. Xue Xiang muttered to himself. Seeing him as just a coward and a weakling, and with the child by his side, he restrained himself from taking action, turned around and walked over to Teacher Bai's side, took the little guy back and put him back in his seat.

  The little guy's position is indeed good, the first row, right in the middle. No wonder someone is chasing after it, but it's not like so many big shots are fighting for it together? Even if Xue Xiang has a clever mind, he can't guess the reason at this moment. Originally, things weren't that complicated, and only two people were competing at first. As more officials came, the situation got worse, and those who felt they had no chance of winning retreated early, leaving behind a group of mid-level bureaucrats fighting over it. It's not like it was a big deal, as the positions in the front rows weren't bad either. But as the saying goes, "people fight for a breath of air, Buddhas fight for a stick of incense", why should I give in? If I back down, won't it seem like I'm inferior to him? Everyone has the same mindset and reasoning, and once it's elevated to the level of personal face, no one is willing to back down. What? You're the bureau chief, but I'm the department head. You're the department head, but I'm not inferior either - I'm the deputy director of the ministry. Your government departments may be powerful, but they can't control me, the team leader. A group of big and small bureaucrats' bureaucratic mentality has been triggered, and Li Daguang is suffering - he's like a mouse in a wind tunnel, getting blown from both ends, or a mouse that's entered a wind tunnel, getting burned on all sides.

  Xue Xiang rudely snatched the seat, and everyone was unhappy but didn't dare to say anything. Xue Xiang intentionally or unintentionally lifted his hem, revealing the gun in his hand, which they had seen before. Ordinary people holding guns didn't scare them, what they feared most was this kind of young punk with a gun, who might lose his temper and shoot at any moment, that would be a disaster. Seeing that playing tough wouldn't work, someone started to reason: "Why should this kid be your sister's boyfriend? Let the teacher decide." This kid is not easy to deal with, let's appeal to the teacher, no matter how capable you are, your sister still has to listen to the teacher, right?

  "This is my seat, I got the most red flowers during the final exam break. The teacher said that whoever gets the most red flowers, this seat belongs to them." The little guy's voice was childish and innocent, causing a group of officials' faces to turn red.

  Xue Xiang patted the little guy's shoulder intimately: "Little treasure, don't mind them, I'm here, and I'll see who dares to take your place."

  Chen Dahai's small eyes darted back and forth quickly, his mind also racing. Looking at the young man's leather shoes, military uniform with short sleeves and long pants, as well as the gun by his side, could he be from the military? Seeing how young he was yet already had a gun, maybe he was a bodyguard for some acquaintance. Your government department may be powerful, but it can't compare to our military's humble security guard - just look at me, Old Chen, taking charge and showing my face.

  "Little comrade, which unit are you from? I am Chen Dahai, the regiment commander of the 71st Regiment of the 325th Division. Maybe our leaders are old acquaintances. What's this, giving your elder brother some face today?" Chen Dahai's piercing gaze stared at Xue Xiang, victory was just ahead.

  "Oh, so you're Commander Chen. I've long admired you." Xue Xiang said with a seemingly smiling yet not quite smiling face, but he didn't know any commander and his eyelids were heavy as if he was about to fall asleep. Chen Dahan didn't notice, overjoyed and eager to take advantage of the situation, just as he was about to make his move, Xue Xiang spoke again.

  "Under the commander, not only does Chen recognize him, but all of you should also know him. As for whether he is an acquaintance, I'll ask the old man later." With that, Xue took out his military ID and unfolded it. The four small black characters dazzled everyone, while the two bright red characters seemed like two sharp arrows shooting over, making everyone feel a chill run down their spines.

  I've stepped on a landmine this time!

  An Bang's great name, who doesn't know? An Jia's influence is not only astonishing in the military circle, but also begins to show off in the political arena. Can they afford to provoke this group of small bureaucrats? Everyone didn't say a word, and with Xue Xiang, they apologized for their crime, pushed the child to the two teachers, and retreated with a gray head and a dirty face. Among them, Chen Dahe was the most embarrassed, running hastily, hitting his head on the door frame, not stopping for a moment, and running away like a whirlwind, leaving only a few bloodstains on the ground, showing that he had been there before.
