Chapter 22: The Wind and Vinegar Incident

  The shop assistant's work officially started in a few days, and after posting the recruitment notice, several people came to apply within a few days. However, some of them were either illiterate or housewives looking for something to do, and they couldn't handle the busy tasks such as categorizing and organizing the store. So my mother suggested hiring two younger ones.

  Among the final candidates, one was Li Yulian, a woman in her thirties who had been laid off from a state-owned enterprise. She shared common topics with her mother and, feeling sympathetic towards her, decided to choose Li Yulian. Moreover, Li Yulian had previously worked as a statistician at a textile mill, so she was not unfamiliar with the small details of cultural products.

  Another one is a 20-year-old girl, very straightforward, named Wang Yue. Unexpectedly, her family was not from the nearby village. Her mother was curious and asked why she didn't continue studying at this age but came out to work instead, with some resentment towards her family for being irresponsible. Wang Yue was optimistic, just briefly mentioning that her grades were not good, originally wanted to take the entrance exam for a second-tier university after graduating from high school, but unexpectedly fell short of points, and under pressure from her family, she simply didn't continue studying, wanting to prove that even without education, there is still a way out.

  Zeng Ke looked at her determination and decided to let her stay, but still couldn't help reminding her that reading books was the only way out. Wang Yue nodded vigorously in agreement, but after exchanging a glance with Zeng Ke, her eyes darted away slightly.

  These things were all done by his parents, and after Soo-chan persuaded them to hire someone, he didn't interfere too much. After all, although his parents' thinking was following him now, as a high school student, it wasn't good for him to not focus on studying and often intervene in his parents' business matters, which would inevitably provoke their backlash.

  These days, parents would end the store's operation early and go home to supervise Su Can's academic performance. They were worried that Su Can would be dragged down by these livelihood issues that adults should worry about instead.

  However, every time they see Su Can still studying hard under the night lamp, both of them feel comfortable. Nevertheless, they are still not too relaxed, after all, the mid-term exam is approaching, and how their son performs normally is just a superficial phenomenon. Only exams can test his actual performance. Compared to being able to attend No. 1 Middle School, has he made progress or regressed?

  Sometimes Su Can suddenly looked back and found that he had actually been reborn, and time had passed so quickly, it was heart-wrenching, as if the college entrance examination had just ended, and the first semester exam of high school was about to arrive.

  He told Liu Rui about what happened at Municipal No. 1 Middle School, and Liu Rui frowned slightly, looking at Su Can with a slow smile, "Does Xue Yi Yang that kid know about this?"

  Su Cang smiled faintly, "He knows it's useless, Xue Yiyang is familiar with that group, he has his own connections in No. 1 Middle School, and because of my affairs, dragging him down would only bring him trouble, never mind, but at critical moments, you still need to come out."

  As for the misdeeds of Wang Haoran and his gang, who were close friends with Yue Zijiang, Su Can had some hearsay. Perhaps Yue Zijiang was not that kind of person who would stab someone in the back. Even if a high school student is mature beyond their years, it's unlikely that he would resort to such underhanded tactics now. After all, using violence to interfere with someone else's pursuit of a girl is the most despicable way to do things.

  Yue Zijiang is very confident in himself, from which point of view, he will not lose to himself in a fair and open competition, so generally speaking, he will definitely openly defeat himself and will not make small moves behind his back.

  Su Can clenched his mind tightly, the only thing he had to be careful about was that unseen Wang Haoran, and the supporters behind Yue Zijiang. These people didn't care about being low or not, in front of a group of vigorous high school students who were still young and inexperienced, perhaps it was absolutely a matter of face and righteousness to speak up for their friends.

  Su Can didn't want to become a sacrifice for this group of people to show off their righteousness.

  After a moment of contemplation, Liu Rui nodded, "I know Wang Hao Ran, and we have had dealings with that group from Second Middle School. I once gathered a bunch of people to beat up those guys at the school gate. I'll take care of this matter, anyway it's just a one-way trip by car. If anything happens to you, call me! Even if I have to come alone, I won't let you be left behind!"

  A very simple sentence, a cool back view, still Liu Rui's chimney head type modeling head, gave Su Can a feeling of returning to ten years ago.

  He heard the implication from this sentence, since Wang Hao Ran dared to lead his team to No. 2 Middle School to fight, it proved his strength, and estimated that the group of people who were beaten in No. 2 Middle School were not low in status. Just looking at Liu Rui's hesitation and his sentence "I'll come alone", it was clear what circle he was in, compared to Wang Hao Ran, this group of people might be even lower, they didn't dare to provoke Wang Hao Ran easily.

  Su Can's head hurts, things have become complicated... Originally a small conflict between students, who knew that in the eyes of his current weak self, it has already become a big stumbling block.

  Su Can never thought that after rebirth, he would be able to face municipal-level leaders and talk freely, but now he's worried about a group of kids' revenge and is at his wit's end.

  After all, it's just a matter of borrowing momentum. Su Can felt that if he were to practice martial arts, he would not be suited for the strong and fierce path, but rather the gentle and subtle Tai Chi, which was more suitable for his current situation. If there was no trend, this Yellow Great Immortal from nowhere would never be able to borrow any east wind.

  Su Can's biggest headache is still having to establish a foothold in Municipal No. 1 Middle School and owning the Alliance on this issue.

  The bell rang, the teacher walked out, and the classroom returned to its usual bustle during class breaks. The appearance of Yue Zijiang immediately caused a stir in Class 5 of Grade One, but this time, many girls' eyes were fixed on Su Can with a hint of weirdness.

  Yuezi Jiang had someone bring in a message, hoping Tang Yu would go out. Tang Yu shook her head slightly to the person bringing the message, "I'm writing something, sorry."

  The person who brought the message left helplessly, and after passing it on, Yue Zijiang also left with a bitter smile.

  Su Can was stunned, unable to see Tang Yu's expression, only seeing that she was really focusing on doing her homework. This scene was somewhat distant and bewildering compared to the time they walked side by side on the main road a few days ago. Because he couldn't see through Tang Yu, Su Can didn't know if she was responding to what she said to him that day or if she really had no time to meet up.

  In short, many girls saw Yue Zijiang leave so obediently and their mouths were already wide open in dissatisfaction with Tang Yu. The reason was that Yue Zijiang was a white knight worth cheering for on the court, but he was treated coldly, making them uncomfortable inside. However, they didn't dare say anything about Tang Yu's pride.

  Before class, Tang Yu got up and went to the bathroom. When she entered, she noticed Su Can's gaze, her beautiful eyes cast over, and they exchanged a glance. At that moment, Tang Yu playfully blinked her eyes.

  It was another inexplicable wave that made Su Can's heart beat suddenly and rapidly.

  In physical education class, Chen Ling wore a cute T-shirt, revealing smooth and round calves in her seven-minute pants, pink sports shoes, plus the fragrance of sweat after exercise, giving her a strong feminine charm for a while.

  Next to Xue Yi Yang and Su Can's group, let Xue Yi Yang occasionally use those big eyes to glance over at Chen Ling Shan.

  The incident of walking home from school with Tang Yu not only didn't make Su Can a hated person, but instead added a bit of mystery and respect to him. Even Zhang Xi, Li Ai, and Sun Zi Yi, after hearing about this matter, no longer casually made fun of him, nor did they utter similar insults like "idiot" again.

  The girls in the class, who seemed to like approaching Su Can in a joking manner, gradually increased, and even Li Luomei, Chen Lingxuan's ace dead party, more or less wanted Chen Lingxuan and Su Can to get closer. In her subconscious mind, Chen Lingxuan was not inferior to Tang Yu, and she stood on the same front line as Chen Lingxuan, naturally excluding Tang Yu.

  If Su Can were to fall in love with Chen Lingxuan again, it would undoubtedly be the greatest attack on Tang Yu.

  The feelings between girls are very subtle, even if there is no one they like, just being liked by others can be a topic of conversation. Of course, with a girl's intuition, she knows that Tang Yu, although cold and icy, actually pays close attention to this matter.
