Chapter 294 The Magic of Money
After taking two sips of Coke, Shi Qingxue suddenly noticed that there was something wrong with Lu Yiming's eyes. She looked down and found that her white shirt was soaked with sweat and stuck tightly to her body, showing off her graceful figure.
Her face suddenly turned red all the way to her neck. She subconsciously crossed her arms and glared at Lu Yiming fiercely, feeling embarrassed and angry: "You're still looking!"
Lu Yiming chuckled and covered his eyes with his hands: "Then I won't look at it, okay?"
Shi Qingxue snorted, "The gaps between your fingers are bigger than your eyes! Believe it or not, I will beat you up."
"If you don't believe me, come and hit me."
While the two were chasing and laughing in the corridor, they didn't know that Shi Caijiang and Shi Hengliang had already gone to the office to find the head teacher Zhu Hanwen.
Zhu Hanwen naturally recognized Shi Caijiang, and then he recognized Shi Hengliang who had come to the school to cause trouble before. His face immediately frowned and he looked at him coldly.
"You guys are here to look for Shi Qingxue again? You don't want to beat her up again, do you? By the way, Boss Shi, if I remember correctly, you are Shi Qingxue's father?"
Shi Caijiang immediately walked up to Zhu Hanwen with an embarrassed look on his face and apologized: "Hello, Mr. Zhu, I am indeed Shi Qingxue's father, Shi Caijiang, and this is my brother Shi Hengliang. You misunderstood, I didn't know my brother was so naughty that he dared to hit my daughter. I have already taught him a lesson at home, and I came here this time just to make up for it."
Shi Hengliang recalled the beating he received at home, and could not help but mutter, "Is that education? Just beat someone up, but you are trying to flatter yourself."
"You're still talking back? Do you believe I'll beat you up?"
After Shi Caijiang finished speaking, he raised his other strong and thick right hand high up. It looked very powerful and it hurt a lot when he hit someone.
Shi Hengliang, who had received a lot of "education" since he was a child, suddenly shrank his neck and dared not speak.
It is said that the eldest brother is like a father. The father of the two brothers died early due to illness, and Huang Meiqi raised them alone by selling vegetables. Therefore, on weekdays, it was Shi Caijiang who was responsible for taking care of and educating his younger brother Shi Hengliang at home, and he really beat him a lot.
Zhu Hanwen was speechless watching from the side.
It turns out that this family is full of violent people.
It is difficult enough for Shi Qingxue to live in such a family.
Zhu Hanwen always felt that Shi Qingxue's personality was a little introverted and thought it was innate, but now he thinks it must be due to family reasons.
Thinking about Shi Qingxue growing up in such a family, Zhu Hanwen couldn't help but feel sorry for this girl who was not an excellent student.
She is able to maintain her mental state, which is impressive. What other results can she ask for?
After all, there were outsiders present, so Shi Caijiang finally did not take action. When facing Zhu Hanwen, he forced a smile and said, "Teacher Zhu, don't get me wrong. We came here today to apologize to Lu Yiming for the incident when my brother beat Xiaoxue last time. I hope he can forgive us..."
When Zhu Hanwen heard that they were here to apologize, he nodded slightly. Then, he suddenly remembered the scene that day and frowned. "Wait a minute... you brought your brother here to apologize to your daughter's classmate who beat up your brother... Um, I have to sort this out first, ah, sort it out."
Shi Cai will follow the advice: "Okay."
After a long while, Zhu Hanwen finally sorted out what Shi Caijiang said. His eyebrows were twisted into a ball, and he asked, "Your brother beat your daughter, so you brought him here today to apologize to Lu Yiming? Are you sure?"
Shi Caijiang nodded heavily: "Yes, that's right."
Zhu Hanwen couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with his ears or if Shi Caijiang's brain was not normal. He looked at Shi Caijiang with a suspicious look on his face: "Well... Excuse me, shouldn't your brother apologize to Xiaoxue? And for this kind of thing, you should just go home and discuss it behind closed doors. Isn't it inappropriate to come to school?"
Shi Caijiang couldn't help but smile bitterly. How could he tell Zhu Hanwen the tricks involved?
"Teacher Zhu is right, and that is indeed the truth. But in this world, many things cannot be solved by reasoning alone. So Teacher Zhu, please, can you call Lu Yiming over? We are really sincere in coming here to apologize."
Originally, Shi Caijiang's idea was that Shi Hengliang would find Shi Qingxue to sincerely apologize, and then let Shi Qingxue talk to Lu Yiming and try to get Lu Yiming to give in.
As long as Lu Yiming doesn't nod, this matter cannot be resolved.
However, this plan was strongly opposed by Huang Meiqi, who even threatened to die. In her opinion, she was Shi Qingxue's grandmother, and Shi Hengliang was Shi Qingxue's uncle. If they apologized to Shi Qingxue, how could they raise their heads in front of their relatives and friends? How could they face their parents and fellow villagers?
Therefore, after many consultations, they chose a method that seemed more difficult to Shi Caijiang: to apologize directly to Lu Yiming.
In this way, even though Lu Yiming is an outsider, at least they can save some face.
Shi Cai had no choice but to bring Shi Hengliang to find Lu Yiming.
He originally thought that Shi Qingxue was easily influenced, and that Su Yunjin would do the same, and when the time came, he would play the family card, and Shi Qingxue would take the initiative to find Lu Yiming. However, Shi Hengliang and the others insisted on increasing the difficulty of the challenge, and Shi Caijiang naturally had nothing to say.
Anyway, in Shi Caijiang's heart, he has basically confirmed that the matter of Xinghe Group was arranged by Lu Yiming. He cannot let Lu Yiming get rid of his anger, otherwise Hengliang will definitely have no way to survive.
Shi Hengliang was a first-rate person who could cause trouble, but he had no real skills. He had relied on the support of Shi Caijiang to run a small business in Baiyun City. Now that Shi Caijiang himself had gone bankrupt, it was basically a pipe dream for Shi Hengliang to make a comeback with his own abilities.
Zhu Hanwen saw that Shi Caijiang's tone was very sincere, Shi Hengliang was not as fierce as last time, and the person they were looking for was still Lu Yiming. Based on his trust in Lu Yiming's ability, Zhu Hanwen nodded and agreed to this matter: "Okay, you wait here, I will go find Lu Yiming and Shi Qingxue."
Walking out of the office, Zhu Hanwen couldn't help but sigh, "I've really learned a lot today. After being a teacher for so many years, this is the first time I've seen a parent come to the school to apologize to their student. This is so magical!"
He used to think that he had been a teacher for decades and had seen all kinds of situations.
But the scene today was something I had never seen before.
Lu Yiming was sitting by the window explaining exercises to Shi Qingxue. Then there was a light knock on the window. When he looked up, he saw Zhu Hanwen's face on the other side of the glass.
Shi Qingxue was startled and quickly sat up straight to deceive herself.
Lu Yiming was not afraid, and even took the initiative to open the window: "Um, Teacher Zhu, I really forgot my homework book at home, not that I didn't do my homework, you have to believe me."
Upon hearing that Lu Yiming hadn't handed in his homework again today, Zhu Hanwen was so angry that his eyebrows almost stood up: "You guy... forget it, I'll teach you a lesson about this later. Now you and Shi Qingxue come to my office with me."
Lu Yiming looked back at Shi Qingxue and said, "Teacher, Shi Qingxue has handed in her homework. I wrote it for her."
Zhu Hanwen's face was filled with black lines, and he growled, "Come out! Now! Right now!"
Shi Qingxue thought that she and Lu Yiming were too close and were discovered by Zhu Hanwen, so she stood up from her seat with some trepidation.
Lu Yiming didn't care and walked out of the classroom carefree.
He knew that Zhu Hanwen would not cause trouble for him over such a small matter as premature love.
The two followed Zhu Hanwen to the office. Lu Yiming then asked, "Teacher Zhu, why are you looking for me for no reason? It's just a one-time missed assignment. There's really no need to make such a big fuss. Or did you find out that I did Shi Qingxue's assignment?"
Zhu Hanwen looked at him helplessly: "Why didn't I notice that you are such a chatterbox before? Shi Qingxue's father and uncle came to the school and asked for you by name."
"ah?"
"ah?"
Lu Yiming and Shi Qingxue both exclaimed at the same time.
Are these parents concerned to this extent about their children’s marriage?
Unlike Lu Yiming, who has a peculiar way of thinking, Shi Qingxue's guess is more reliable.
She felt that it must be because Lu Yiming beat Shi Hengliang and Huang Meiqi in the office last time, so Shi Cai would bring people to question them.
Beating Shi Hengliang was not a big deal, after all, they were all young people when rounded off. But Huang Meiqi was a grandmother after all, and if you look into it carefully, she was guilty of "disrespecting elders", which was a serious crime.
"Teacher Zhu, last time Lu Yiming attacked me, he did it to help me. If you want to punish me, just punish me."
Zhu Hanwen said helplessly: "It's not about this. Your father brought your uncle to school to apologize to classmate Lu Yiming."
Shi Qingxue was confused for a moment: "My dad brought my uncle here to apologize to Lu Yiming? What are they apologizing for?"
Zhu Hanwen was also confused . Seeing Lu Yiming's calm look, he said unhappily, "I don't know either. Why don't you ask him?"
Lu Yiming smiled slightly, as if everything was under control. He gave Shi Qingxue a look that reassured her, and said to her, "In the adult world, harmony is the most precious thing. How can you fight and kill? Your father and your uncle probably realized that hitting people is wrong, so they came here to apologize to me."
Shi Qingxue tilted her head, looking confused: "But, they beat me last time, and it was you who beat them. Why should they apologize to you?"
Lu Yiming said confidently: "Because I am still a child."
“…”
Zhu Hanwen even wanted to punch Lu Yiming.
As they were talking, three people had already arrived at the office.
In the office, Shi Caijiang and Shi Hengliang sat there, each with their own thoughts.
Seeing Shi Qingxue and Lu Yiming come in, Shi Caijiang and Shi Hengliang both stood up.
Shi Caijiang took the initiative to step forward and greet Lu Yiming: "Hello, classmate Lu Yiming."
Lu Yiming nodded slightly and said directly: "What are you two doing here today? Just tell me, I'm a senior high school student and I'm going to take the college entrance examination. You can't afford to waste my time."
Although General Shi Cai was afraid of Lu Yiming, he was still his elder and couldn't save face, so he cleared his throat and said loudly, "We know, so I'll make it short. Today, we came here mainly because of the incident where Aliang beat Xiaoxue last time. I know that this incident made everyone very unhappy, so I brought my brother here to apologize to you."
As he was speaking, he saw Shi Hengliang standing there without saying a word, so he immediately kicked Shi Hengliang on the calf and glared at him fiercely: "Why don't you say something."
Although Shi Hengliang still felt unhappy in his heart, he did not dare to act rashly when thinking about his debts. He lowered his head and said reluctantly: "Student Lu Yiming, I'm sorry."
Lu Yiming gave him a blank look: "Too quiet, didn't you eat?"
After hearing this, Shi Hengliang felt extremely humiliated and bit his lips until they almost bled.
In his mind, he had already simulated ten thousand ways of Lu Yiming's death.
He raised his voice a little: "I said, I'm sorry."
Lu Yiming frowned and said, "I can't hear you, speak louder!"
Although Shi Hengliang was born in a farming family, he had never suffered any grievances since he grew up. Ever since Shi Caijiang became rich, he has been smooth sailing. If it weren't for this incident, he would have felt that he was a superior person.
At the moment, he felt that Lu Yiming was deliberately humiliating him, which made him feel very embarrassed. He couldn't help but expose his true nature and shouted: "Mr. Lu, are you deliberately messing with me?"
Lu Yiming slammed the table and said coldly: "I just messed with you on purpose, so what? Are you unhappy? In front of me, you have to coil up even if you are a dragon, and you have to lie down obediently if you are a turtle!"
When Shi Caijiang heard what Shi Hengliang said, he felt bad and quickly said to Shi Qingxue, "Xiaoxue, please help me say something. If Lu Yiming doesn't forgive your uncle, your uncle's company will go bankrupt. Not only will he lose all the millions he earned over the years, but he will also owe millions of foreign debts."
"ah?"
Shi Qingxue was a little confused: "What does my uncle's bankruptcy have to do with Lu Yiming?"
Shi Caijiang sighed and said, "Last time when your uncle came to you to sign a contract, he slapped you. Didn't Lu Yiming see it? Lu Yiming was very angry and directly contacted a major client of your uncle's company. That major client terminated the cooperation with your uncle without saying a word. Now your uncle's business is about to fail, and the whole family will have to starve."
After learning the whole story, Shi Qingxue couldn't help but look at Lu Yiming, her heart filled with emotion.
Lu Yiming actually used his connections to ban Shi Hengliang just because she was slapped?
The phrase "A man will risk his life for the love he loves" suddenly came to her mind.
In the hearts of girls, it is so romantic to have a boy who is willing to risk his life for them.
Zhu Hanwen, who was standing next to them, was shocked as he listened to their conversation.
Shi Hengliang, a big boss with a net worth of millions, was almost driven into bankruptcy by just one sentence from his own student?
No wonder Shi Cai brought Shi Hengliang to school to apologize!
This is the magic of money!
