Chapter 24
Edward came out of R.S. Building Society at half past 10 o'clock in the night.
At this time, the streets were already devoid of the hustle and bustle of many parents picking up their children from school, appearing particularly desolate. All the parents had picked up their children from the school while some students went on their own. The streets were empty. He sighed as it took more time than he thought would take to check the apartment.
Edward could have just slept in the new apartment at R.S. Building Society, but in order to create a gaming environment for Keith, he needed to go back and make some preparations.
He planned to move his self-built computer set to R.S. Building Society for Keith to use first. The computer Edward had was his gaming computer which he had built after his injury with some help from professionals. His inner need was just looking for an opportunity to come outside and it came outside when Edward got injured.
When he had time, he would come to this apartment and set up a few computers with higher configurations to play games without any problems. In the apartment at R.S. Building Society, he would renovate a separate esports room.
It could not only serve as Keith's daily training ground but also as a reward for students who had made progress in their studies.
Playing games by Edward's order?
Edward believed that not many students in class 9 of grade 11 could resist such temptation of playing games.
As for Mike? He just needed to create a quiet environment for him, and Edward believed Mike would be able to think creatively and write with inspiration in peace and without hiding from anyone.
He took his bicycle from the parking lot. He bought a packet of cigarettes from a shop and started to paddle it. The packet of cigarettes was for the security guard who guards the society where Edward's home is. While riding and thinking about what he can do tomorrow, Edward soon arrived at a three-way intersection. He stopped his bicycle seeing the red traffic light.
Alpine Road running north-south intersected with Eden Road running east-west here.
To the north of Eden Road, the lights were on in an area. Work on a large construction site was currently underway. Edward saw many people carrying bricks while some were carrying cement. Edward was not surprised.
Although the government ordered that no disturbing construction work could be carried out after 10 p.m., how many cities have actually been following the rules?
Fortunately, this area was a newly planned district by the Central City Government. It was planned when the first semester started. So there were not many residential buildings or people living around here.
Even if there was a lot of noise at the construction site, it wouldn't disturb too many residents who were living outside the newly formed district.
Turning left at the traffic lights, Edward saw a familiar figure at the entrance of the construction site when he turned his head.
He exclaimed softly, his brow furrowed as he applied brakes to his bicycle. He looked again to confirm and he was right.
'Wasn't that Jamie, a student from class 9 of grade 11?'
Today was his first day as a homeroom teacher. He just remembered all of the students' names. Although he had formed a first impression of all the students, he hadn't gotten familiar with all of them as it would take some time.
But he remembered Jamie because the impression Jamie left on Edward was very deep. During the evening self-study session when everyone was introducing themselves, Edward had looked through all the students' talents in the class.
At that time, the talent of Jamie really surprised him. He summoned the system panel and once again called up Jamie's information.
[Name: Jamie Gordon]
[Age: 17 years old]
[Height: 172 cm]
[Weight: 61 kg]
[Talents: Arts (Excellent), Mathematics (Superb), English (Excellent), Physics (Excellent), Chemistry (Excellent), History (Excellent), Geography (Excellent), Politics (Superb)]
[Mentality: Very poor]
[Real World Effectiveness: -30%]
The first time when Edward saw Jamie's talents, he thought there was an error in the system's information about Jamie.
All his talents in subjects were at an excellent level. He is an all-round talent. Wasn't Jamie a potential top student in the class? Definitely a highly intelligent student. A student who is good in all subjects he has chosen.
With proper guidance and teaching, Edward believed that for Jamie to get into the top 10 universities in the country was almost guaranteed. Even getting into Cambridge University or Oxford University was not impossible. They are the top universities of the world.
Edward was even more surprised when he saw Jamie's record in the file. How could such a student end up in the 9th class of grade 11 with the lowest average scores? How was that possible? Edward found it unbelievable at that time.
So, in his mind, he had already planned to get to know Jamie more deeply to understand his problem.
Not knowing about Jamie's talents was one thing, but now that he knew Jamie possessed such incredible learning talents, how could he let a brilliant student destroy his future?
But Edward had no information about Jamie's past, during the evening self-introduction, Edward only felt that this child looked very shy.
He avoided eye contact with Edward, and he was quiet in the classroom the whole session. He seemed to be a very introverted student, even a bit withdrawn from friends or people his age.
With his talents, couldn't he just study diligently and still achieve good grades? Why would he need to work on a construction site which is not even safe for students? Therefore, Edward was very curious about Jamie.
Just as Edward was puzzled, a commotion came from the constitution site.
At the entrance of the construction site, Jamie was arguing with a worker who was wearing a helmet. First they were just arguing but now they get into a physical conflict.
'Fuck.' Without a word, Edward threw his bicycle to the side and rushed towards the construction site where Jamie was fighting with a worker.
What he didn't expect was that when Jamie saw Edward suddenly coming toward him, Jamie turned his head, ran in the opposite direction as if flying from Edward.
"He actually ran away." This made Edward puzzled. 'I am your class teacher, dude. I am here to save you. Why did you run away?' Soon Edward reached the construction site but till then Jamie was gone.
The person wearing a safety helmet did not chase Jamie, but instead looked in the direction Jamie ran, cursed a few words to him and prepared to walk towards the construction site.
Edward stepped forward and stopped him.
"What are you doing?" Brad stared at Edward angrily, shouting loudly.
Being scolded by a high school student, he was in a bad mood. Suddenly, a young man blocked his way, naturally making him very unhappy when he was about to start working again.
Edward frowned, not showing a good expression to Brad. 'This man was just about to fight with Jamie? And now he is angry with me.'
Edward said coldly, "I am the teacher of that student. What were you about to do just now?"
Brad was stunned. 'The tall young man in front of him was actually the teacher of the student just now?'
But he snorted and said, "Are you that kid's teacher? How did you teach such an ignorant kid who doesn't know what is good for him? If he just wanted to come to my construction site to carry bricks, that would be fine, but he actually asked for an advance payment of wages from me? Am I running a charity here? I scolded him for a bit, asking whether his parents raised him correctly or not and he actually wanted to lay hands on me? Kids these days..."
Brad shook his head.
Just as Edward was about to teach Brad a lesson, he suddenly froze after hearing Brad's words. From the sounds of it, it seems like he knows about Jamie after all?
In order to get more information from Brad, Edward suddenly put on a friendly face. He took out the packet of cigarettes from his pocket, and handed a cigarette to Brad.
"Excuse me, sir, could you please tell me more about the situation?"
From nearly getting into a conflict moments ago to now putting on a friendly face, Edward's emotional transition was very natural.
Brad was a subcontractor on the construction site, and he had some experience and knowledge about how to deal with people.
Seeing Edward offer him a cigarette, he didn't refuse, took the cigarette, and also put on a friendly face.
Brad took out a lighter, lit Edward's cigarette first, then lit his own. After taking a puff, he frowned and said.
"You're a teacher at Horizon High School, right? That student earlier was wearing Horizon's school pants. Horizon is a top high school in our region, how could this child think of coming to a construction site to carry bricks?"
As a key high school in Zhongnan City, Horizon High School held a special position in the hearts of the local people. Most parents hope their children can study at Horizon High School. If you get into Horizon, it means stepping into the gateway to university.
Edward took a puff, blowing out the smoke. He was even more puzzled after hearing this. 'Just what is going on with Jamie that he had to come here to work after school.'
