Sena Nagayama was indeed satisfied with Kazuki, and she no longer had any intention to investigate him anymore.
In other words, the changes of Sakura Kyu Academy was the best answer sheet Kazuki had given to Sena Nagayama. The things she found out indirectly was far more convincing than others' words.
Also, he was able to replace the teacher in teaching. This was enough to prove that his knowledge level was recognized by the teacher. According to Principal Endo, he did not only substitute the science teacher, he even filled in for Mathematics, English, and other subjects. He was proficient in all subjects.
Moreover, Endo Etomi showed her Kazuki's results when he was a freshman, which made her gasped with admiration. He was really a scholar. Not to mention, he was also the Head of Department of the Sword Believers' Club even with such results. These were enough to show his capabilities.
She admired Kazuki's outstanding qualities.
She even wanted to make him come to the company to work if it was no longer a high school student. If Kazuki were appropriately nurtured, then he certainly would be the best out of the best; he was born a manager.
Therefore, when Sena Nagayama saw that Endo Etomi stayed, she understood his meaning. She went straight to the point and asked, "May I know what is your expected salary for this tutor job, Kimura?"
Listened to the question, Kazuki did not refuse to answer as Sena Nagayama was an interviewer. As an interviewee, he could not refuse to answer nor give a vague answer to a question posed by the interviewer.
He hesitated for a while. To be frank, he had something on during the weekends. Thus he forgot to read up on the salary range of a home tutor in Japan. So, he did not understand much about the salary of a home tutor in Japan. However, he was quite certain about the price range in Huaxia.
Based on the salary range in Huaxia, if a university student was working as a home tutor, the salary would undoubtedly be lower than a professional teacher. Nevertheless, it was about the pay of 80-100 yuan for an hour. Ignoring the regional differences, this was the general salary for an undergraduate home tutor. 
Although he was still a high school student, he never undervalued himself, nor was he blindly confident with himself.
After thinking about it, Kazuki said calmly, "I hope my salary is 1500 yen per hour."
"Okay, but you have to agree to my terms." Sena Nagayama did not reject it. Although the monthly salary of experienced teachers could reach up to a million or even ten million yen, Kazuki was a high school student. His expected salary was also the salary of a general undergraduate home tutor at the present stage. She naturally would not reject and bargain.
"Please tell."
Sena Nagayama did not say anything. She took out her phone, opened the memo with some conditions recorded, and handed the phone to Kazuki.
Kazuki looked at it carefully after taking over the phone. A few seconds later, he frowned.
"If you think that some of the conditions are improper, you can point it out and discuss it with me." Sena Nagayama said with a gentle expression.
Kazuki pointed at the fourth condition and said directly, "It's written that I should start from Mathematics. To ensure that there is a consistent improvement in the students' results after the next monthly test. Is there a specific value for consistent improvement? Also, I'm not sure about the Furuhashi sisters' grade ranking."
Sena Nagayama was not confused that Kazuki was aware that he was going to tutor for the Furuhashi sisters. After all, he was the home tutor recommended by Principal Endo and Sakura Haruko. He would definitely know the situation.
Endo Etomi who was at the side handed over the high school transcript of the Furuhashi sisters on the table which was prepared earlier to Kazuki as soon as he heard about it.
After taking a glance at it, Kazuki looked up and said indifferently, "Madam Nagayama, I think that my salary should be increased." He said as he handed the transcripts to Sena Nagayama.
Sena Nagayama, who was curious, took the transcripts over and scanned through it. She was completely stunned. Her fair face turned red in anger within seconds.
She looked at them in detail for three times. In the transcripts that came into her view, none of the subjects marks had more than two digits, except for English.
Holding the transcripts, she could not utter a single word for some time. She recalled the conversations of Furuhashi Harunaka and the sisters during high school time in her mind.
"Aunt… Ah, yes… The results of the monthly test are released today. I have improvements. My grade ranking now is on the 100th, nothing special… Ah, take a snap? I left my paper in school, I will take a snap of it for you next time."
"Oh, man! Aunt, I'm playing a game. Call back later."
"Aunt… Why do you have time to call me? Results? My results dropped a bit recently. I didn't dare to tell you. I'm going to hang up. I'm learning to bake a cake, my hands are a bit full right now. I'll bake a cake for you the next time you come over."
"Toot toot toot… The number you have dialed…"
Sena Nagayama would call the Furuhashi sisters each time after the exam season during high school, concerned about their academic results. It never changed much.
Especially Furuhashi Natsui. Her phone was always off every time the results were released.
She was never aware of the academic performance of the four sisters. Sena Nagayama knew that their results were not good, their results should be worse compared to others, based on how they spoke in their calls.
She did not go into the details most of the time as she was giving a face to the four sisters.
In the end… Looking at the transcripts, Sena Nagayama took a deep breath. She felt like she would die from anger sooner or later because of them, "I definitely should raise your salary, Kimura..."
She could tell a lot based on the transcripts. For example, the sisters definitely did not master the knowledge for high school. She estimated that their results now should be around the primary school level, or even lower… She was afraid to think further.
It seemed like these four girls not only inherited the physical appearance from her sister, they also inherited her learning genes.
At that time, Furuhashi Sakurakyu had poor high school results, so she hoped to own a school that would belong to her after she got married. She then invested in Changchun Private High School, which was the Sakura Kyu Private High School at the moment.
Listening to her words, Kimura Kazui nodded. His salary for home tutoring should be decreased if he were to teach the sisters knowledge for Junior High School first.
Nevertheless, Sena Nagayama let him read the terms and conditions on the memo first without telling him the academic level of the Fusuhashi sisters. Without Principal Endo's presence, he would be cheated by signing the agreement before he was made aware of the situation.
Sena Nagayama certainly knew that justice was not on her side. Thus, she increased the salary of Kazuki from 1500 yen per hour to 2000 yen.
She thought for a moment after that, "How about this… I hope that the high school results of the four girls can exceed single digit before the summer break." She did not want to mention grade rankings anymore.
There are three-term breaks for high schools in Japan which are spring break, summer break, and winter break. The summer break would start from 20th July to 1st September.
It was April. There were still three months before the summer break.
Kazuki nodded reluctantly after thinking about it. The academic performance of the Furuhashi sisters was probably between primary and junior high school. He would have to make the Furuhashi sisters master knowledge from junior high school quickly. Then, he had to make sure that the four girls did not get the marks of single-digit in their final exam for freshman year before the summer break.
One person was still okay. However, there would be four of them. The difficulty would be multiplied.
"Kimura, if the grade ranking of my four nieces is within two hundred after the final exam, I will reward you with abundant bonus. You would receive another bonus if they got into the first one hundred and the first fifty in this manner."
Upon hearing those words, Kazuki gave a faint smile.
"I'll try my best."


Time travelling from the majestic era after the Recuperation of Reiki, he became Kimura Kazuki, a 16-year-old high school student in Japan, one year before the Reiki Recuperation.

Tentatively, he set out to hone himself to the bone, burning candles at both ends to stockpile resources in preparation for the imminent Recuperation of Reiki. His goal was to be many steps ahead of all humanity when the time comes.

However, it seemed like fate had decided to play a cruel trick on him.

One year later, the Recuperation of Reiki... did not happen as expected.

Song Jiang Industry University was one of the famous universities of science and engineering in the country. The computer science department of Song Jiang Industry University was a member of many research groups.
At the beginning of this year, led by the state, Song Jiang Industry University was involved in research and development of the Raptor Code wireless protocol. This was also one of the wireless transmission protocols independently developed by China. Xiao Qing was the person in charge of this project which was one of the reasons why she was busy every day.
Because the computer science department didn't have enough manpower, the department would recruit some graduate students as assistants every time there was a research project. Although graduate students were free laborers, and the department wouldn't give them a salary, the graduate students were still eager to do this!
Those who were admitted as graduate students were generally the kind who were comparatively motivated and loved to learn. People who muddled along and just aimed to pass couldn't be admitted as graduate students.
Therefore, in this way, it was a rare opportunity to be able to participate in this important research, whether to improve these people's skills or give them a better future!
With the experience of participating in the key national projects, it would also be an excellent qualification when looking for a job in the future. This was also the reason why many graduate students enrolled after the recruitment notice was sent out.
However, the number of participants was limited. After all, research and development were different from a major course. It was impossible to bring all the people inside.
Zhou Jiajia looked at the latest announcement in the department; she was overjoyed after seeing this news. As a veteran hacker, she well versed in any kind of network protocol. However, that was only a study. If she could become a protocol maker one day, how glorious would that be?
Originally, Zhou Jiajia was indifferent toward the computer courses in the university. After all, the courses at the university were really outdated; a lot of knowledge was no longer useful, and some were even wrong.
However, this didn't mean that she couldn't learn anything in college. Sometimes, some of the extracurricular knowledge that the class teacher imparted was still very interesting. This time was definitely an unexpected opportunity. After Zhou Jiajia saw the notice, she quickly put down the things in her hands and rushed to the computer science faculty building to register.
Although there were not as many computer science graduate students as undergraduates, even so, there were at least one hundred and eighty people. At the moment, a lot of people gathered in front of the computer science teacher faculty building. 
The registration was led by Li Boliang, president of the Computer Science Club of Song Jiang Industry University. Although Li Boliang wasn't a graduate student, he was accepted by the research team because of his position in the club and his knowledge and skills.
(For Li Boliang, see Chapter 1054: I Love Little Ming.)
The admission to the research team was very strict. Everyone had to fill out a form and write out what they were good at, what awards they had won, and what they had achieved.
After completing the form, it was only a preliminary examination. After selecting some potential people from among these, an interview was conducted. The interview was naturally not as simple as being smart in talking. The awards you have won, and the achievements you listed in the application needed to be presented on the spot including, award-winning certificates, achievements, and presentation of the work.
"Hi. Can you give me a form?" Zhou Jiajia got through the crowd with difficulty, squeezed in front of the registration office, and said to Li Boliang who was distributing the registration form.
Zhou Jiajia's voice was like that of an angel's for Li Boliang. In this computer school that was crowded by dinosaurs [1], Li Boliang had not seen a beautiful woman for a long time. It was a rare opportunity for him to meet a pretty girl at the start of the semester. She was a computer science student, and she wanted to join the Computer Science Club, but there was no news from her in the end. This made Li Boliang deeply regret that he didn't ask for a contact number from the pretty girl.
Now, after hearing such a pleasant female voice, Li Boliang raised his head subconsciously. He saw that it was Zhou Jiajia, the girl he saw on the first day of school. He was overjoyed. "Such a coincidence. It's you!"
Zhou Jiajia was slightly stunned. She recognized the person in front of her as the Computer Science Club's president, Li Boliang. She smiled and nodded to him politely. "Yeah, such a coincidence. So you are the one who is responsible for the registration."
"Yeah, this kind of activity is generally organized by the Computer Science Club. After all, the teachers in the department have limited energy," said Li Boliang. However, anyone could see the pride in Li Boliang's discourse. In fact, if the Computer Science Club could be in charge of this registration, this indirectly proved the authority of the Computer Science Club in the school, and it wasn't to be underestimated.
"Can you give me a registration form? I also want to participate in the research of the wireless network protocol." Although Zhou Jiajia was very clear about Li Boliang's intention, she was asking something from him at the moment, so she had to smile and speak to him.
"Of course... Oh, wait. You are not a graduate student..." Just as Li Boliang just wanted to take out a registration form and hand it to Zhou Jiajia, he suddenly remembered that this research project only recruited graduate students, but not undergraduate students, so he quickly said, "This research project only recruits graduate students, not undergraduate students..."
"Ah? Then..." Zhou Jiajia was disappointed as she heard Li Boliang's words. This was the opportunity she had been looking forward to for a long time. A real opportunity was in front of her eyes, but she could not participate because of her current education.
Seeing the beauty's disappointment, Li Boliang suddenly felt a pain in his heart. He thought for a bit and said, "I am also an undergraduate student, but because I am the president of the Computer Science Club, I can also participate in the research and development of this subject! Let me ask the computer science teacher for you and see if you can participate in this research and development project as an exception."
"Thanks for the trouble." Zhou Jiajia thought that there was no hope. But after hearing Li Boliang's words, she was delighted immediately and thanked him.
To please Zhou Jiajia, Li Boliang didn't care about the work at hand; he put down his work and quickly ran to the computer science teacher faculty building.
Li Boliang's Computer Science Club was usually guided by Sun Demao, Deputy Director of the Computer Science Department. Li Boliang and Sun Demao were also familiar with each other. When Li Boliang came to the office of Deputy Director Sun, he knocked on the door, and he heard Sun Demao's voice. "Who is it? Please come in!"
Li Boliang opened the door of the office, but he found that the Chief Director the department, Xiao Qing, was also there. He quickly called respectfully, "Director Xiao, Director Sun!"
"What's the matter?" Sun Demao put his work aside and asked Li Boliang.
"Director Sun..." When Li Boliang saw Xiao Qing, who was the director, was present, he was somewhat awkward to speak. He was familiar with Sun Demao, but he was not familiar with Xiao Qing. Xiao Qing was mainly responsible for the comprehensive work in the department, and she was also the main person in charge of many scientific research projects. Therefore, some trivial matters in the department were managed by Deputy Director Sun.
The Computer Science Club was a non-governmental organization formed by the students, so Xiao Qing naturally did not have much time to manage it, and she handled it to Sun Demao. However, Xiao Qing still knew Li Boliang. He was one of the more famous students in the department and had won the national computer competition award.
"Say it if there is anything. I am discussing wireless research with Director Xiao!" Sun Demao saw that Li Boliang didn't speak after coming in, so he scolded unhappily.
"Director Sun, this is the case. An undergraduate student would like to participate in our research group..." As Li Boliang spoke up to here, he carefully observed Sun Demao's reaction to see if he was angry before he would continue with his remaining words.
"Undergraduate student? Undergraduate student also wants to participate?" Sun Demao frowned, but he felt a bit amused. Generally speaking, the school stated that it was recruiting graduate students, so the undergraduates wouldn't join in the fun. Besides, the undergraduates' level of knowledge was limited; it was useless for them to participate. Therefore, even if there were research recruitments over the years, no undergraduates would sign up.
"Yes, this undergraduate is a computer science enthusiast and a member of our Computer Science Club!" said Li Boliang quickly. Zhou Jiajia originally intended to join the Computer Science Club, but she didn't report in later, so Li Boliang wasn't lying by saying this.
"Hehe, is there really an undergraduate student interested in this? Which semester is he?" Xiao Qing also came to interest; she interrupted and asked.
"Freshman." As Li Boliang heard Xiao Qing's question, he replied respectfully, "She is a very quiet girl named Zhou Jiajia."
"What? Freshman?" Sun Demao listened to Li Boliang's answer, and he was astounded immediately, then he frowned slightly. "Is she just joining for fun? This can't be done. This is a key national project; it shouldn't be taken lightly! Is it that you, kid, are fond of her, so you want to show your diligence?"
After Sun Demao said this, he suddenly remembered that Xiao Qing was listening by the side. He suddenly had a cold sweat on his forehead. He was very familiar with Li Boliang, so it was normal to make jokes, but, today the leader of the department was here. It was a bit too much for him to joke with the student.
Li Boliang's face turned red from Sun Demao's words. He replied, embarrassed, "How can that be, Director Sun? Look at what you said. I just noticed that she is very interested in this topic, so I'm here to ask you now. Besides, an undergraduate wants to sign up for the research. How many times has this happened in so many years?"
"Okay, go back. I still have something to do!" Sun Demao had just made a slip of the tongue; he afraid that Xiao Qing had an opinion of him, so he quickly sent Li Boliang away.
"Then, I am leaving, Director Sun." Li Boliang left the office dejectedly as soon as he noticed his request wouldn't work, but he did not forget to say when he left, "Director Xiao, see you again."
Xiao Qing didn't really care about Sun Demao's jokes, but she was familiar with the name Zhou Jiajia. It seemed familiar to her; she heard it somewhere, but she forgot where. She was busy recently, so this thought only flashed through her mind. She did not take it seriously, so she put it aside for the time being.
Li Boliang's plan had failed. He couldn't show off his capability in front of the beauty. This made Li Boliang very upset. I am the Computer Science Club president, but I can't even handle such a small matter. How can I make Zhou Jiajia fall in love with me?
It's my fault that I picked the wrong time. Director Xia is in Deputy Director Sun Demao's office too. Sun Demao probably didn't dare to make a claim. If it were another time, the Deputy Director might have agreed with it because Deputy Director Sun is relatively more understanding. He once cared about my private life, asking whether I had a girlfriend.
When he learned that Li Boliang had no girlfriend, Deputy Director Sun also urged him to hurry and find one. He could not delay his private life because of studying technology. But today, he obviously took the wrong opportunity.
Seeing Li Boliang's face, Zhou Jiajia's anticipating gaze suddenly turned dark. It seemed that there was no hope at all. In fact, after Li Boliang left, Zhou Jiajia also guessed that her chances weren't high after seeing a huge crowd of graduate students at the registration counter.
Although Zhou Jiajia could proudly say that she wasn't inferior to these people present, the school wouldn't bother about this. The school only looked at the degree; Zhou Jiajia was a freshman. How was she capable of participating in this research?
"I'm sorry, pretty girl. I tried my best." Li Boliang threw up his hands helplessly. "The director in the department said that there is no such precedent."
"Oh, really. Then thank you for that." Although Zhou Jiajia knew that Li Boliang seemed to have an intention, he did help her to ask. Zhou Jiajia could not just keep quiet. At the very least, Li Boliang didn't pursue her in a very obvious way, so Zhou Jiajia just pretended that she didn't know.
"I have a good relationship with the deputy director of the department, but today, Director Xiao Qing was working in the office of Deputy Director Sun. Therefore, Deputy Director Sun rejected me due to this reason." Li Boliang defended himself. He didn't want to lose face in front of the beauty, so he pushed the responsibility away.
"Director Xiao Qing? Our department head is called Xiao Qing?" As Zhou Jiajia listened to Li Boliang's words, she suddenly asked.
"Yeah, we only have one Director Xiao in our department. Who else could it be?" Li Boliang smiled, "Director Xiao is young, but her knowledge isn't simple! She participates in many of the key topics in China; she is a strong woman! Her research is also very rigorous!"
After the general students went to college, they were less familiar with the department director's and headmaster's names in the school. Because the university was so big, these high-level leaders had nothing to do with them. The most common ones they come into contact with were the mentors and teachers.
So, Li Boliang wasn't surprised that Zhou Jiajia did not know the name of the department director, especially with her as a freshman.
The reason why Li Boliang said that Xiao Qing was very powerful was to show that Xiao Qing was an academic master. Therefore, she was stricter in screening her assistants. Zhou Jiajia couldn't blame him for not being selected.
"So, that's why!" Zhou Jiajia nodded thoughtfully, remembering Yang Ming's godsister seemed to be called Xiao Qing. Zhou Jiajia also faintly heard Yang Ming speak about it, but she wasn't sure whether it was true. Xiao Qing seemed to be the beautiful woman she saw the last time she went for a meal with Yang Ming.
She just didn't know yet whether this Xiao Qing and the department director, Xiao Qing, were the same person. Zhou Jiajia planned to ask Yang Ming after going back.
"It doesn't matter. The wireless project is only at a preliminary data collection stage. It has not been officially started. It will take a while to start, so there is still a chance. When I have time, I will talk to Deputy Director Sun privately; maybe that will work."
"Yes, then you can help me to make this request from time to time." Zhou Jiajia was not sure if Yang Ming's godsister was the department director, so she could only pin her hopes on Li Boliang.
"Do not worry; I'll make it work. Right, what is your phone number? If I have news here, I will call you." To establish a long-term relationship with Zhou Jiajia, Li Boliang had to beat around the bush to get Zhou Jiajia's phone number.
Zhou Jiajia hesitated but gave Li Boliang her phone number. A phone number was something open to others and not considered private, so telling Li Boliang was fine.
After getting Zhou Jiajia's phone number, Li Boliang was ecstatic. However, he was afraid that Zhou Jiajia would be disgusted by him, so he still pretended to be calm and saved her phone number.
Zhou Jiajia didn't say much more to Li Boliang. Since Zhou Jiajia couldn't sign up, she could only leave. She didn't have time to chat with Li Boliang. Yang Ming came back yesterday. Zhou Jiajia's thoughts were thinking about the scene of meeting with Yang Ming tonight.
Her father had returned to Donghai safely. Although he hadn't met her, they still called each other. It was said that he was going to do some business with her mother in Donghai.
It was all thanks to Yang Ming that her father could come back safely. Zhou Jiajia still didn't know how to thank him. However, when chatting with Chen Mengyan and Lin Zhiyun, Chen Mengyan made a joke suggesting that Zhou Jiajia should devote her life to Yang Ming for saving her father! It would be a good story if it happened during ancient times.
It made Zhou Jiajia blush, but she also somewhat agreed with Chen Mengyan psychologically. It was just that she was a girl, and she didn't dare to say it. Sometimes, Zhou Jiajia felt that she was a little funny. She actually became timid!
She was so bold when she was pursuing Yang Ming previously. She even dared to send such a hot message, but now she would blush just talking to Yang Ming.
Perhaps, Zhou Jiajia only restored the unique reserve of a girl now.
The phone rang. Zhou Jiajia glanced at the caller ID; it was Chen Mengyan, so she picked up the phone. "Sister Mengyan, where are you?"
It happened to be noontime. At this time, Chen Mengyan usually called Zhou Jiajia to ask her to eat lunch together.
"Jiajia, Zhiyun and I are in the cafeteria. Where are you? Didn't we say to meet here?" asked Chen Mengyan.
Zhou Jiajia looked at the time on her watch and found that it was already 11:30 a.m. Registering in the computer science teacher faculty building had taken quite some time, so Chen Mengyan and Lin Zhiyun were waiting anxiously.

Every year, Yun Cheng Heng Chuan's First Middle School competed fiercely with Yun Cheng's First Middle School.
The two old schools would secretly fight to achieve first place in the number of people who reached the undergraduate level, the number of key points obtained, and the number of dark horses that had climbed up the provincial rankings. 
Yun Cheng First Middle School was a little more literary, while Heng Chuan leaned more towards natural sciences. 
Song Luting was so famous because he had taken first place in the city's science competition when he was only a freshman in Yun Cheng's First Middle School!
He was first not only in the city but also in the country.
This incident made Heng Chuan, a school leaning towards natural sciences, extremely depressed.
Every year, many students entered Beijing University as top scorers, but there was only one top scorer in the nation each year. Besides being the nation's top scorer, Song Luting was also good-looking and so garnered a lot of attention when he came to Beijing University.
The people at Beijing University could only bow down to him after learning that he had not only suppressed many foreign students in high school and won first place in the Physics competition but had also become the disciple of the Physics department Dean after coming to Beijing University.
Unsurprisingly, he suppressed many seniors and became first in the Physics department.
Lin Jinxuan was known by the people in Yun Cheng's dormitory, so naturally, the people around him knew that he had a very powerful fellow townsman. 
But Song Luting always followed the Dean of the Physics department, so the two only met at various conferences and never actually spoke.
Lin Jinxuan didn't mention these details.
Although he knew about this, Lin Wan and Ning Qing clearly didn't.
Lin Wan wasn't from Yun Cheng and naturally didn't pay attention to Yun Cheng's gossip. Qin Yu was a high school student and only focused on her own goals, so she had only just glanced briefly at the news of the examination students whom she didn't know. 
The people around Qin Ran were either hoodlums or gangsters. 
As the saying goes: "Birds of a feather flock together". Given Qin Ran's achievements, she was basically in this kind of people's company. In Qin Yu's eyes, she would never be able to climb into the circle even after a few years.
She didn't say this to Lin Jinxuan, yet Lin Jinxuan had dropped a bomb on them.
Qin Yu was genuinely shocked, because she never thought that a school nerd would know the school bully, and they even seemed very familiar. 
Before she could say anything, Lin Jinxuan told them he was going to find Qin Ran, and Ning Qing also followed after him.
Qin Yu pursed her lips and followed them.
**
Song Luting had also encountered Qin Ran on the road.
He didn't have time to take Qin Ran around the campus before going to class and hurried back to his dormitory to get some things. 
Lin Jinxuan arrived just after he left.
"Where are you staying now? When are you going back?" Lin Jinxuan glanced at Song Luting's back, then turned to look at Qin Ran, frowning slightly.
Qin Ran nodded at him politely in greeting. "I'm going back to Yun Cheng tomorrow. I have some other matters, so I'll leave first."
Ning Qing trotted over and, before she could say a single word, Qin Ran greeted Lin Jinxuan, lowered her head, and pressed her sweater hat down before leaving. 
Lin Jinxuan frowned and glanced sideways at the three women who had followed him. Then, he said politely, "Auntie, Aunt Ning, I won't send you off. I don't think I have time to go to the banquet tomorrow."
The Shen family's car was parked in the parking lot.
Qin Yu stared at Lin Jinxuan's back and pursed her lips, but she sneered several times in her heart. Qin Ran wasn't conspicuous on the outside, but her methods were truly impressive. 
She turned to look at Ning Qing. "Mom, how does Sister know Song Luting?"
Ning Qing thought of Song Luting. "He seems to be from Ninghai Town…"
Lin Jinxuan didn't tell them that the Dean of the Physics department was Song Luting's teacher.
Lin Wan wasn't clear and only said lightly after hearing Ning Qing's explanation, "There are many top scorers at Beijing University, but how many of them are actually distinguished? It's not like Yu'er can't get into Beijing University."
Beijing was a big dye tank where many unfair things happened, so the people with no background could only climb up after having their head broken and their blood flowing. 
It was extremely rare to see them climb up. 
It was like anticipating a carp's transformation into a dragon.
In Beijing, any random person had an extraordinary background. Such people were common, so after seeing Song Luting, Lin Wan could only compliment that he was rather excellent. 
Lin Jinxuan didn't chase after Qin Ran as she walked away slowly. 
She walked into the sea of people and couldn't be seen after half a minute.
He stood there frowning.
The phone in his pocket rang; it was a phone call from Feng Ci. Lin Jinxuan picked up and stopped walking.
Then, he called Lin Qi.
"Don't worry about this matter." After hearing Feng Ci's description, Lin Qi was silent for a while. Qin Ran's reaction was as he expected. "I won't have time to go to your sister's apprenticeship banquet tomorrow, but you should try to go if you're free." 
They didn't say much.
But Lin Qi's reaction caused Lin Jinxuan's heart to sink.
He was so smart that he naturally thought that Qin Ran must have had a quarrel with the Lin family after he had left Yun Cheng.
Otherwise, Lin Qi would have asked further.
And Qin Ran wouldn't avoid him like that.
**
Qin Ran returned to the hotel.
She took a look at the transparent bottle in her backpack first.
A piece of paper with the word "Q" was pasted on it, and she peeled it off and threw it away.
After looking at it for a while, she put the bottle on the table and took out the piece of paper with messy handwriting on it.
There were many professional terms on it, most of which was especially used in the medical department. She casually took a look at it and then put them back in her backpack.
Lowering her head, she continued writing her unfinished music score.
This time, the inspiration had been kept in her mind for a long time. Be it the selection of the tone or the beat speed, she had a plan in her heart and worked hard to write it down. At her feet was a pile of crumpled waste paper. 
When it was seven o'clock in the evening, she took a picture of the frame and sent it to Yan Xi.
Yan Xi was recording the theme song of a movie in his studio.
He was always very serious about music and didn't leave until the next afternoon, so his cell phone was with his manager.
Managers usually kept the entertainers' cell phones so as to avoid missing important calls.
His phone lit up and the manager waiting outside yawned involuntarily. He took it out and glanced at it to see a WeChat picture splayed across the lock screen without any text. 
It was a very simple and clean WeChat message.
The manager looked up subconsciously, and when he saw who had sent the WeChat message, his sleepy mind was suddenly sobered. 
He couldn't care that Yan Xi was still recording a song and immediately rushed in through the door.
**
At the same time.
In a coffee shop on the pedestrian street of Beijing.
Qin Yu finally found an opportunity to meet Xu Yaoguang and hand him the invitation.
"Tomorrow is my apprenticeship banquet hosted by the Dai family." Qin Yu stirred the coffee with a spoon and looked up at Xu Yaoguang, her attitude clearly more casual than before. "You should think about whether you want to return to Yun Cheng tomorrow."
Qin Yu spoke lightly. 
The Dai family was a new aristocrat in the capital. Recently, they had been secretly competing with the Wei family and were extremely sharp.
Furthermore, Dai Ran held the second-highest position in the circle. Although he only ran errands for Master Wei, he had indeed come to know many dignitaries and nobles thanks to Master Wei's reputation.
In all aspects, his position was a lot higher than the Shen family.
So much so that Qin Yu's status in the family had now improved. 
She hurried back and left after saying a few words to Xu Yaoguang.
Xu Yaoguang was deep in thought and also replied simply to Qin Yu before she got into the Shen family's car and left. He stood at the intersection with the cold wind blowing against him until a very low-key car with a flag drove over.
People at the intersection couldn't help avoiding the car when they saw it.
In Beijing, all sorts of luxurious cars could be seen.
But after staying here for a while, they found that the low-key cars with the red flag belonged to families that really couldn't be provoked. 
The Xu family didn't live in the villa area but in an old alley. It wasn't opened to the public and had guards guarding every exit.
They were basically a big courtyard of houses, and the older generation naturally liked to call them a big residence. 
The area seemed wide, but there was actually only one house in each alley.
It had always been handed down to the noble and honorable families that hadn't waned.
The car parked in front of a large residence.
The butler waiting outside came to open the car door.
Xu Yaoguang handed him the invitation and walked down the corridor to the main courtyard.
The butler followed three steps behind Xu Yaoguang, and when Xu Yaoguang returned to his room, he looked down and turned over the invitation. 
A maid passing by glanced at it and didn't recognize it. "Shen family? Dai family? What kind of apprenticeship banquet would involve our Young Master?"
The butler glanced at it lightly and threw it aside.
There were many invitations sent to the Xu family every day.
They generally ignored them all except for a few banquets.
In the room.
The courthouse yard had been renovated. The Xu family was relatively modern and Xu Yaoguang lived in a separate courtyard. 
As he sat down on his desk in front of his computer, Qiao Sheng told him to go online to play games in the arena with him. 
"Young Master Xu, you're coming back to Yun Cheng at three o'clock tomorrow?" Qiao Sheng chose the card in the game and asked. "You all went to Beijing and left me alone in school. It's so boring."
"Yeah," Xu Yaoguang leaned back and responded casually. "Who else came to Beijing?"
He thought of Wei Zihang.
"Sister Ran. She took the same leave as you." Qiao Sheng entered the arena and summoned his cards. "I was eating with Wei Zihang when he heard that Sister Ran went to Beijing, so he bought the latest flight that night and flew over."
Xu Yaoguang had asked around in the concert hall and knew that Wei Zihang had been in Master Wei's room along with an unknown person.
But after hearing Qiao Sheng's words, he suddenly looked up. "Who else did you say is here in Beijing?"


[Two-faced Languid Rich Male Lead vs. Deeply Hidden Beautiful Female Lead] 
Qin Ran had grown up in the countryside. She disappears in the third year of high school and ends up suspended for a year. One year later, she is brought to Yun Cheng by her mother to attend First Middle School. 
Her mother tells her: "Your stepfather is from a prestigious family, your brother is a genius, and your younger sister is a top student. Don't be an embarrassment to them." 
Anybody who is anybody in Beijing all receives a warning from Master Juan of the Cheng family: Master Juan's wife is from the countryside and doesn't know how to socialize nor make connections... her temper is also really bad, so please be tolerant of her. 
One day, when Master Juan is investigating a certain big shot, his subordinate stares at the sockpuppet—an online identity used for purposes of deception—he had accidentally revealed. It's from the wife that supposedly doesn't know anything... He falls into silence. 
The two bigshots has probably been hiding their sockpuppets from each other in order not to make the other party feel inferior.

[F*ck me, no wonder this guy is a genius. He couldn't buy a train ticket and so, he wrote his own ticket buying app! So impressive!] 
[I was wondering why this genius rejected CEO Wong's offer. It's because he's starting his own business! Wow, I envy those with a good brain! (cry, smile)]
[I re-posted, I'm convinced.]
[Genius, are you looking for an online girlfriend? My name is Luo Liyin!] 
[Master genius, I'm a grade 7 middle school student. The pretty girl in my class said that she'll go out with me if I get into the Top 10 in the coming exams. If I win the prize, can you teach me mathematics?]
[Editing SCI? Please. Praying to god I get picked! Re-post!]
[I'm a PhD student and I'm impressed… Re-posted!] 
[My thesis isn't in SCI, can I get a discount?]
It was the next day in the afternoon. 
Lu Zhou was eating dinner when he pulled out his phone and checked Weibo. He was shocked. 
Why are there so many re-posts?
However, most of the re-post captions were just people jumping on the bandwagon. 
Lu Zhou was suspicious. When he opened the trending page, he was surprised. 
Number four on trending!
How did it get up there?
Even though a lot of people re-posted, it's still a bit far fetched to be on trend, right?
Lu Zhou opened up the trending page and found out that a marketing account reported his app but not his blog post. 
The earliest new source that reported it was called [New Things On Campus] and that blog was re-posted by a marketing account with millions of followers. Finally, it even caught the attention of [Huaguo Youth Daily] and they re-posted it. 
Although they did not re-post his blog, the name [Campus Train] was still in the report. 
[A first-year undergraduate student from the University of Jin Ling who could not buy a train ticket wrote his own free app for students to use. Look at how impressive this guy is…]
[Remember that undergraduate student that wrote ten SCI theses in a month? This time he is back at it again. (dog)]
These were the types of headlines in the reports. 
After that, a chain reaction happened and it went out of control…
"…"
Lu Zhou saw this situation and was hysterical. 
He did not expect to go on trending twice within two months. 
Lu Zhou used his phone to log into the developer platform and entered his administrator account and password. He looked at the download data. 
What?! The number of registered users reached 150,000!
With the number of user downloads experiencing explosive growth in the Android app store, it had even made its way into the Top Daily Downloads. 
It seemed that his app had been accepted by a lot of college students. 
As for how many users would stay active, it would depend on what happened next. 
At this moment, he received a call from Chen Yushan.
"Lu Zhou Lu Zhou! Did you write that app?" asked the female voice on the other end of the phone. She was so excited that she sounded like she was happier than Lu Zhou. 
Lu Zhou, "Yeah, I wrote it, why?"
"…"
After she received the confirmation, she became silent. 
After a while, she sighed and her voice became heavier as she said, "Nothing. I feel like you're flying so high, I… Don't know what to say."
Lu Zhou was confused, "Flying so high? Not really. It'll still be three years till I graduate."
"You're right," said Chen Yushan. She laughed and changed the topic, "Oh yeah, my cousin came back from Shanghai. My auntie wanted to ask if you still have time to do tutoring next semester?"
"Yeah, of course," said Lu Zhou without any hesitation. 
Upgrading the Alibaba cloud server, upgrading disk space, purchasing network communication traffic bandwidth, designing a beautiful UI interface… Everything required money! 
Right now his app was free. It was hard to tell how much he would have to spend before he could monetize it.
It was not like he could exchange general points for money and so, he had to rely on working for some extra cash. 
A happy voice traveled through the phone, "That's great, Meng Qi said that you are a good mathematics tutor. She would understand the question after one explanation from you."
"It's mainly because she's talented," said Lu Zhou with a smile. 
Chen Yushan, "Oh yeah, also when she enters Grade 11, she'll only have Sundays off. You only have to tutor her one day. Is that fine with you?"
Lu Zhou, "No problem, I'm free regardless."
…
Zhang Zhongjie opened the door and walked into Dean Lu office. He said with a smile, "Dean Lu, you have quite a talent there in your mathematics department."
Dean Lu did not say anything at first. He put his pen down, adjusted his glasses, and sighed before saying, "Say it, what did that Lu Zhou kid go and do now?"
Dean Zhang smiled and said, "Oh, I didn't even tell you. How did you know it was Lu Zhou?"
"He's the only troublemaker of his caliber in the department."
"It seems that you're not happy?" said Dean Zhang as he sat on the sofa. With a smile, he said, "If that's the case, how about you transfer Lu Zhou to my computer science department. I quite like him."
"Oh," said Dean Lu. He leaned against his office chair and stared before saying rudely, "Don't even think about it!"
What a joke.
University of Jin Ling's mathematics department was not strong even though the university was ranked amongst the countries' Top 10 universities. It was not nearly as strong as their physics department. 
They finally had such a genius in their department and Lu Fangping would never let him go. Not even if he had to deceive Lu Zhou!
"Why are you getting so riled up? I'm just kidding. It's up to him if he wants to transfer," said Dean Zhang. He smiled and continued, "Ok, serious talk. Have you seen Weibo recently?"
"Weibo?" asked Dean Lu. He frowned, "What's on Weibo?"
Although Lu Fangping knew about Weibo, he had not downloaded it on his phone. First of all, he was disinterested in the trending female celebrities. Secondly, the text on the phone was too small and thus, it was unsuitable for old people to read. Thirdly, he was busy with his job and side projects. He did not have so much free time to stare at his phone. 
Furthermore, he did not keep up with the trends as much as Dean Zhang who was from the computer science department. 
"The Lu Zhou from your department made an app called Campus Train. A few teachers from our department looked at it and found that it is pretty good. The school is encouraging entrepreneurship, right? I wanted to help him and so, I came over here," said Dean Zhang while smiling. 
Dean Lu heard the good news and smiled as well. He then squinted his eyes as if he remembered something. 
In order to encourage technological innovation at various universities and to promote the spirit of entrepreneurship, the Ministry of Education issued a [University Student Entrepreneurship Plan] which was issued directly to various institutions and education bureaus. 
Dean Lu had heard of this plan. It was mainly for fourth-year undergraduate students that did not plan on getting a master's degree. Simply put, the state would provide financial support (loans) while the school would provide the resources to help students achieve their dreams of entrepreneurship!
Of course, not all projects could apply for this interest-free loan. For example, if one decided to open a bubble tea shop, or to sell clothes on Taobao, or if one simply wanted to use the money to buy stocks, the school definitely would not have approved.
Projects that could apply for this loan must first meet the criteria of not only being a technological innovation but it must also be realistic. For example, it was unrealistic if one wanted to build a rocket and needed to come up with a new type of rocket fuel.
The second criterion was that it must be able to create jobs. 
After all, projects that were hatched by university alumni would be more inclined to hire students from their own university.
The University of Jin Ling wanted to appeal to the government. All of the departments allocated a certain amount of money toward the startups by the students. After all, employment was the top priority. If the school could really incubate a large project, it might even count as a scientific achievement! 
Generally speaking, this policy only applied to fourth-year students. After all, their goal was still to study. They could not delay their academics for entrepreneurship. The school should not convince students to take the wrong path! 
However, these criteria obviously were inapplicable when it came to Lu Zhou. Being able to write mathematical theses at his level meant it would be a piece of cake for him to get his bachelor's degree. Most professors did not look at him as an undergraduate student, at least not a first-year undergraduate. 
But…
However talented this Lu Zhou kid may be, he's still part of our mathematics department. Why is the computer science department here?
Dean Lu knew instantly that this guy came here to undermine him! 
Dean Zhang saw that Dean Lu did not speak. He smiled and used a kind tone as he said, "You shouldn't think that this will affect his studies. It's important to manifest his studies by doing projects. My suggestion will definitely be beneficial to Student Lu. Furthermore, a few teachers in my department did some research and felt that this project is interesting, so…"
"Don't even think about it! I'll go and find our head of department right now!" said Dean Lu. He stood up and smiled as he said, "Don't even try to undermine me! We were just worrying about how to use this money!"
There isn't any place to spend it on!
It was not like mathematics was useless, but what could one create with mathematics?
The few applications that were submitted all pretended like they were making big data statistical analysis software but they were actually about starting online shops! Who would give them money!
Finally, a person like Lu Zhou came along. Dean Lu would never give him up and so, he refused Dean Zhang. 
You are here, again and again. You say you're helping our incubator project, but when the chicken finally laid eggs, your computer science department wants to steal the eggs!
Just because I have thick glasses and run around the office all day while being an honest man doesn't mean that I can't see through your schemes!
How naive!
How simple!
"I'm telling you, Old Lu. This is wrong, right? The project in your mathematics department isn't even related to mathematics but is related to computer science. What will people say about this?" said Dean Zhang as he laughed.
"If I say it's related then it's related. How come data science isn't related to mathematics? I'm approving it!" said Dean Lu as he stared at Dean Zhang. He suddenly realized that he had not even received an application yet, so he continued his momentum and said, "I'll give Lu Zhou a call today and ask for his application. I'll personally give it to the head of the department for him to approve!"
Dean Zhang was anxious, "You can't do this. You should ask the student's opinion! This is for his own good!"
Oh, you're trying to talk logic with me now?
Dean Lu turned his eyes and said swiftly, "Ok, I'll talk to him later. Wait for my response."
"No!" said Dean Zhang as he disagreed. He crossed his legs and said, "You're not honest. I'm sitting right here. Call him now! If not, you're buying me dinner."
Dean Lu called Dean Zhang shameless but the man did not even give him a reaction. Dean Lu knew that he had to solve this today and so, he picked up his phone and called Lu Zhou. 


After suffering from a heat stroke while working under the scorching heat of summer, Lu Zhou, a hardworking but poor university student, somehow becomes the owner of an advanced technological system. With the cheat given by the system, his university life changes overnight. 
  
A Master's degree? Easy. 
  
PhD? Not a problem.   
  
From a nobody, he quickly becomes a huge celebrity in the world of science. With the missions given by the system, he is on his way to winning a Nobel Prize.   

"System, can points be exchanged for money?"
  
"No."
  
"F**k, what use are you then!?"
  
"This system will make you the ultimate scholar, the kind that lords over all of humanity. What use will money be to you?"

The sports school hired 30 coaching assistants, including Dai Li. In the meeting room, the HR manager was holding an employment contract in his hand as he said, "After you sign this trial contract, you are in the three-month trial period. I won't say anything else about discipline, I've said enough. During the trial period, your salary will be 800 yuan per month. The formal contract of employment will be signed after the trial period. Everybody should try their best. I can fire you whenever I want if I feel your performance isn't good enough during the trial period!"
Somebody immediately whispered, "It's already June. The summer holiday is around the corner. I bet we don't have a lot of work to do during the holiday, which would mean that we only really only have a one-month trial period."
"You are right. The best thing about being a teacher is that we can rest for three months during the summer and winter holidays every year and get paid," another person said in agreement.
The HR manager stood on the platform and said, "You might think that there won't be too much work to do since the next two months are the summer holiday, and that nobody will be fired. I must tell you that you are completely wrong. The following two months are what will really matter to you!" His words got everybody's attention. All the new employees stopped their writing and looked at the manager.
He stopped for a second, almost as if to add dramatic effect to arouse people's interest, and then continued, "There isn't much time left before the summer holiday. Our school will organize a few training classes in the next two months, and all the new coaching assistants have to be a part of it. We'll decide if you can stay or not directly based on your performance."
According to the rules, public schools were not allowed to organize training classes. However, the sports school was different from other public schools since it was a place for cultivating athletes. A lot of students in the sports school came from selection exams. The school could use these exams to organize and open training classes during the holidays to make some extra cash.
Many people became very nervous after hearing "open training classes." The main job for the new coaching assistants was to train athletes. It made them nervous knowing that they were going to enter the front line of training when they still didn't have enough experience. On top of that, they would be evaluated to see if they could stay or not based off of it.
Unlike the others, Dai Li was excited to begin. The last thing he was worried about was training since he had the Coaching System to help him. He was actually hoping that the training would start as soon as possible so he could get enough empirical value to upgrade to the next level.
…
"Li, look over this material and print it out!"
"Li, this is the summary of last year's work. Follow this form and make a summary for this year."
"Li, make an excel sheet of this name list and give it to me."
"Li, this is what I'm going to apply for. Fill out an application. We need to ask for something from the general department."
"Li, this is the list of names with contacts on it that the admissions office just sent to us. Make it into an excel sheet and email it to the training department."
Dai Li was very busy, not because of his extraordinary ability, but because he was a college student.
In the normal job market, college students were similar to stray dogs, and masters were everywhere. Even PhD students were not difficult to find. A person with an undergraduate degree did not rank high on the job market. However, here in the sports school, an undergraduate degree was the highest rank achievable. Many of the coaches here were retired athletes who focused mainly on training instead of studying. All they were able to do was sit in front of the computer and click their mouse to surf the internet, watch movies, and play games. Most of them didn't even know how to use Microsoft Office. If one of them had been asked to write a summary, they wouldn't be able to write more than 200 or 300 words.
This was Dai Li's area of expertise. All work that involved a computer was given to him. The assistants with less of an education could only apply themselves to physical labor.
After a few days of working, Dai Li had a general idea of the summer training class that was about to start. There were several sports projects in this class. The most popular ones were table tennis class and basketball class. Most of the students who had signed up for table tennis were primary school students. As for basketball, most of them were middle school students. There weren't many high school students since studying occupied most of their time. The only one class that had them was the 100m sprint training class. It targeted high school students who were about to start their third year and whose goal was to take the track and field competition for national second-class athletes in September to receive their certificates.
The certificate of national second-class athlete was very important for the graduating students who wanted to take the college entrance exam. As long as they could get the certificate, they would be qualified to take the special exam for sports held by key colleges. If they were lucky enough, they might even be able to be admitted to the college with a score of 100 points. And even if they didn't pass the special exam, they could still become sports talent students. With the ability a national second-class athlete possessed, it wouldn't be very difficult for them to be a sports talent student and enter the college.
Besides, there was a policy in place where if a graduating student had the certificate of national second-class athlete, then he or she could enjoy the benefit of 20 additional points. Even one point on the exam could help you eliminate hundreds of thousands of competing applicants. Twenty points was a big enough deal to attract most of the examinees.
This wasn't the only benefit, either. The training fee was pretty high—15,000 yuan for two months, which meant 250 yuan per day. In first-tier cities, the price might have been less of a worry. However, in Yuzhou City, a fourth-tier city, the price was too high for most parents with normal incomes.
It was not easy to become a national second-class athlete, even if the training period was two months complete with full days of training. The students had to have some basic sports ability to achieve the goal. It would take forever for those with muscle imbalances to achieve such a feat. The 100m race was chosen because it was the easiest one both for students and coaches. At least for the level of national second-class athlete, there weren't many difficult movements to master.
Time flew by, and by July all the students were ready for the holiday. The sports training class was also ready to welcome the new students.


How could a poor graduate student without any background or connections become successful? With a coaching system? An upgrade? This is not a computer game, but real life we’re talking about!
 
This will be a fantasy based on reality. Dai Li will fight back against all those who would mock and humiliate him with his astonishing and awe-inspiring training skills. From a nobody he’ll try to become the most illustrious coach in the sports world, so join him in proving to everyone who’s the real master here!

Although he had benefited from the inverted energy flow from the Leakless Fruit, Zhang Tie was still not able to recover from losing a large amount of blood after just one night of rest. On Friday, his biological clock, which would usually wake him at 6:00 am, was late, thus on that day, he did not wake up until it was almost 8:00 am.

Whatever, it felt much better than yesterday. At the very least, Zhang Tie’s face was not as pale as yesterday. Although he was still weak, he could stand it. It felt like he had made several wet dreams overnight. 

What the f*ck! Who said bleeding was beneficial to health? Thinking back to those liars on the streets of Blackhot City who encouraged passersby to donate blood for the sake of health, Zhang Tie became really furious. Blood was the energy essence of the human body. How could people become healthier without blood? If anyone else delivered such a leaflet to Zhang Tie, he would definitely spit on his face. Those liars sold your blood for money while telling you that bleeding was beneficial for your metabolism and the recovery of your stem cells. Motherf*ckers!

Since he had gotten up so late this morning, Zhang Tie was almost late for the last day of school. In addition, the way his mom gave him a strange look simply made him feel embarrassed. He remembered that Miss Daina had once said that when one lost too much blood due to some incident, they should eat sugar and protein to recovery quicker. Hence, Zhang Tie, who was always frugal in the past few years, bought himself the most “luxurious” breakfast that he has ever eaten, costing him more than 50 copper coins—a carton of milk and two eggs!. Thus, Zhang Tie felt really depressed about the money he had spent. However, by the time he arrived at school, he felt like he had recovered quicker both physically and mentally.

……

Barley must have already shared what he had experienced last night with the other members of the Hit-Plane Brotherhood. As Zhang Tie expected, the instant he entered the classroom, the other horny members of the Hit-Plane Brother burst out into laughter.

“Bro, just tell us what’s making you so unhappy. We’ll make you happy!” Just as Zhang Tie expected, Hista was the first to ask.

If it was the day before yesterday, Zhang Tie definitely would have felt frustrated and irritated; however, after surviving last night’s ordeal and taking two lives, Zhang Tie’s way of thinking became completely different. Facing Hista’s ridicule, Zhang Tie simply smiled. “As you know, I’m still a virgin. Are you satisfied now?”

Zhang Tie’s response surprised everybody. Everyone thought that Zhang Tie must have suffered a serious blow and was somewhat depressed. Seeing Zhang Tie’s look, Hista comforted him, “Never mind, I know a good clinic. It’s just a small operation. It will take you just one or two weeks to recover after the operation. If it wasn’t for the upcoming survival training, I would personally take you there. The operation only costs a bit more than 60 silver coins, and we currently don’t have enough money, so Barley already had a talk with us. We have all decided to save some money for you. We will take this survival training as an opportunity, and perhaps we can get something valuable!”

“That’s right, we will never let you drag us down!”

“If there is a virgin in our brotherhood, it would really make us lose face!”

Hearing their words, Zhang Tie felt warm inside. “These cute bastards!”

Speaking of money, Zhang Tie suddenly thought of the two dead bodies in the Castle of Black Iron. The two of them seemed to have a lot of money. He was trying his best to survive last night and was extremely spent both physically and mentally; hence, after returning home, he simply ate something and went to bed. He had almost forgotten about their money.  

Thinking of the pile of gold in Snade’s purse, Zhang Tie immediately became spirited. He could not wait to go back home and searched through the two dead bodies. They might even have something more valuable.

“I’m rich! I’m really rich this time!”

On their last day of school, they only had morning classes. After gathering all the undergraduates, the school staff reiterated the dangers and the solemnity of this survival training and delicately repeated the basic necessities that needed to be brought with them. Afterwards, all the undergraduates left school. All of them had two and a half days to prepare for the things requested. 

According to the school, every undergraduate should at the very least prepare the following things: a weapon, a sleeping bag, and 5 days worth of food. They could bring along a raincoat if their family could afford it. With the exception of extra food, they could pretty much bring whatever they wanted, assuming they were able to bring it along. Additionally, this year, undergraduates from four middle schools will be taking part in the survival training in the Wild Wolf Valley, which was 70 km west of Blackhot City. This was their final chance to show off their abilities. Those who performed the best during the survival training might even receive a recommendation from their school, giving them a chance to change their fates.

As it would be their last lunch at the school, the school prepared two spoons of meat for each undergraduate, which they had really enjoyed. After finishing lunch, Zhang Tie felt that he had recovered about 70% of his physical and mental strength. 

After lunch, everybody was busy seizing the last chance to take photos. Although it was expensive to take a photo, a great amount of people still chose to take photos on this very day. Hence, the photo studios outside the school gate made a lot of money today. The photographers were extremely busy, and the powdered magnesium flashed and puffed here and there on the school campus…

Standing to the side, the lower grade students were admiring them. They didn’t understand that that photo might be the last trace of those horny undergraduates in the world. 

Besides making love, one should leave something behind to show others that they had existed in this secular world!

For many of the horny students, ending one’s virgin status and taking a photo before the beginning of their survival training had almost become a ceremony.

The seven members of the Hit-Plane Brotherhood also took a photo together. In front of the school gate, they stood in a line against the wall that said “Welcome to the Age of Black Iron”. On the farthest left was Bagdad, who was crossing his arms cooly, showing his developed muscles. Next to him was Leit, whose hair was shining, giving him a look of a mature man. Then there was Sharwin, who gave a bashful smile, and Doug, who had one of his arms wrapping around Fatty Barley’s neck. As for Barley, the one who was asked to pay for the photo, he forced a smile although he was miserable inside. Like an idiot, Hista made a hand posture in the form of “V”. Standing on the rightmost position was Zhang Tie, who was somewhat sad and frustrated as he gave off a stiff appearance. The only thing in his mind at the moment was that he would rarely have the opportunity to see Miss Daina from this point on!

With a dazzling flash and a sound of “Bang!”, a puff of magnesium powder started to rise up. Everybody’s youth and shadow were set fixed!

……

“In the next two days, we should prepare well. Bring as many useful things as you can. In addition, we should stay together during the survival training. That way, we could look after each other during critical situations. The moment to test the unity of our brotherhood is coming!” Barley suggested to the other members of the Brotherhood before they left school. “I will bring a first-aid kit, a bow, and some medicine for curing wounds. As for the others, each of us should bring as much as possible!”

“A bow? You really have a rich dad!” Sharwin was surprised while everybody else, including Zhang Tie, was staring at Barley in admiration.

“No way. If I kick the bucket this time, there will be nobody to help him through his old age. He prepared the bow for me since he was even more nervous than me…” Barley shrugged.

“Alright, bros, it’s time to fight! See you next Monday!”

“Okay, see you next Monday!”

“See you next Monday!”

A group of horny students departed outside the school gate and walked in all directions.

“Bighead, take care. I found that Glaze’s group has been too low-key recently. I feel that there’s something wrong and am somewhat curious about what they’re doing!” Barley warned Zhang Tie in a low voice before leaving.

“Don’t worry!” Zhang Tie patted Barley’s shoulder and gave him a sincere smile. He was probably worried that Glaze’s group would take revenge for what had happened two days ago. However, after what had happened last night, Zhang Tie didn’t take Glaze’s affair seriously in the least.

Barley scratched his head as he said, “I don’t know why, but I feel like you are completely different than yesterday!”

“Haha, I have really suffered a blow from yesterday’s incident. It seems that I have to think things through!” Zhang Tie prattled.

“Is that true?” Barley glanced at Zhang Tie dubiously. 

“Whatever, take care of yourself!”

“Alright, I will!”

~ In the name of the One who has created me and taught me all that I know of ~

I open my eyes and reach for the phone lying on my side table, it's almost seven o clock. Time for school, I tell myself. 

Hoping I wouldn't have to follow the same routine as every other day, I close my eyes again. 

And in that moment, my mother walks into the room and turns all the lights on, "It's time for school." She yells. 

"How are you two still asleep?" She's asking my younger sister and I.

We jump out of bed simultaneously, racing each other to the toilet. Rahma and I are more than just sisters, she's my best mate as well.

Rahma takes out our toothbrushes from the cute, tiny drawers under our sink that hold our toiletries, hands me mine and we brush our teeth together. 

We then wash our faces with the Vitamin C face soap placed on the glass sink and walk out of the toilet and find our white and blue checked uniforms placed on the bed. 

We change into our uniforms, get our backpacks and go to the kitchen to get our snacks and water bottles, then head out of the main door and take our seats in the car. 

We're chauffeured to school and I enter the school gate grinning because it's my last day as a student here, and that thought lights up my mood.

The next thing I notice, though, puts me back into that abyss that I try to help myself come out of every day. 

My bullies are standing in the distance in the hallway that leads into our classroom. 

They're pointing and mock-laughing at me, I try to avoid them and head straight for the classroom. 

They follow me inside to where I'm seated in the class. Just as they start with their negative remarks again; on how I'm still coming to school, despite them hating my presence, our Psychology teacher walks in and they back away swiftly.
The sound of the school bell, which signals the end of the classes, makes me sigh in relief, "It's over, you've gotten through this!" I tell myself.

I stuff my books and all kinds of coloured pens into my backpack, throw it over both my shoulders, and rush to the main gate of our school where I find my younger sister smiling at me. 

I run towards her and pull her in for a tight hug, almost crushing her. We're both elated that it's finally holiday season. 

. . .

Once we're home, I take a shower and change into my comfy flamingo pyjamas, and slide under the blue duvet on my bed. 

I get my laptop and start searching for university undergraduate programmes. I definitely want to opt for psychology. 

I've had trouble understanding my own behaviour as well as how people have treated me for the entirety of my life. And that's exactly why I'm filling in this application form for university.

Layan’s past has been full of traumatic events; the bullying is the only thing she would tell people about until her encounter with one of her gorgeous male teachers’ at university. 

Musa, her young economics teacher is soon to realize that the girl his parents have promised him to is this smart student. 

Read to explore how this teacher-student relationship turns into a fiery love story.

Municipal No.1 Middle School was the best middle school in the municipal of Anyang and was split into junior high and senior high.
To the residents in Anyang, being able to attend Municipal No.1 Middle School's senior high was equal to having one foot in the key undergraduate courses. On top of that, there had been six candidates that were admitted to top universities, raising the school's reputation. 
It was because Municipal No.1 Middle School's enrollment process this year was so strict that it was almost to the point of being harsh.
Adhering to the principle of "quality over quantity", many students from the Municipal No.1 Middle School were not admitted to senior high, and those who managed to get in had to take another test. The test results were then used to determine their classes.
Ye Jian had been in the Tibetan area and did not know that there was a huge matter that blew up recently at the Municipal No.1 Middle School.
On the first day of school, those parents whose children were not admitted to senior high were standing and blocking the entrance of the school. They pulled up red banners to protest against the "unfairness" of the enrollment. 
"There is no reason nor law! Our children were in junior high, but they are rejected for high school!"
"Protest! Protest! Protest against the school's inhumane enrollment!"
"Determining their classes based on grades, that's detrimental to the students, we protest as parents!"
There were not only parents. There were a few troublemakers that participated too, an egg was thrown at the "Municipal No.1 Middle School" school sign and chaos ensued.
As long as they had something in their hands, they were all thrown towards the school as a sign of resistance against the "unfair" treatment.
Ye Jian and the boy had not reached the gate. They were supposed to alight at the "Municipal No.1 Middle School" bus stop but they were stopped by the police. An officer dressed in a dark-green 95s-style uniform came over, scanned Ye Jian and questioned, "Student, your parents did not send you to school?" 
The boy from the same village had never dealt with the police before, but having grown up in a village with troops, he had some courage.
He took the initiative to stand in front of Ye Jian. He was a little scared but he remained calm. "No, both of us came here ourselves without our parents."
"We are students from the town, there are no adults to send us." Looking at the situation, Ye Jian patted the boy's stiff shoulders and smiled. "Did something happen to the school?"
She pointed outside of the bus. "These students are all standing outside and not entering the school, the school's probably in trouble."
What could possibly happen to the school? She had the impression that in 1996, nothing big happened besides the return of Harbour City. However, the internet network in 1996 was still underdeveloped, if anything big happened, it was normal for her to not know about it.
Usually, the ones that asked the same question were parents. Having heard that from a student, the police smiled. "You're smart, no wonder you are admitted to this school, you…"
While speaking, the police made eye contact with Ye Jian… Why does she look so familiar? Have I seen her before? A criminal? Definitely not!
But she was familiar as if I had seen her before.
"Come student, alight with your friend, remember to take your luggage." She looked familiar but he could not make sense of the name. Being a police officer, he could not just let them go like that. He was telling them both to get off the bus together with him.


Through years of abuse and death threats, Ye Jian is not so ready to bid adieu to this world just yet! Fortunately, destiny has granted her another shot at life. Only this time, she is determined to become the master of her own fate and retaliate her oppressors from her previous life. It's payback time.
 
Although reborn with beauty and youth, Ye Jian obviously holds higher pursuits. In this life, she is determined to become an extraordinary commando. No, she does not need love, family, or any affection! 
 
He is born in a powerful family; and step-by-step, he becomes the youngest Major General through his own merits. He is drawn to her every move, despite her repeatedly shunning him.
 
"What you need is love, my little fox," he whispers.
"Get lost! I need bullets!" She steps away.
 
Behold. Let this novel take you through the warm, happy, loyal, and passionate story of the aggressive military couple.

"It had been a lonely time at Harvard before that, and well into his second year of graduate school he was resigned to more of the same. He didn't want what the others wanted. He didn't want Radcliffe or Vassar or Wellesley in bed with him. He had known too many of those girls during his undergraduate days, and for Michael there was always something missing. He wanted something more. Texture, substance, soul. He had solved the problem for himself very nicely the summer before, with an affair with one of his mother's friends. Not that his mother had known. But it had been fun. She was a damned attractive woman in her late thirties, years younger than his mother, of course, and she was an editor at Vogue. But that had been merely sport. For both of them. Nancy was different.
He had known from the first moment he had seen her in the Boston gallery that showed her paintings. There was a haunting loneliness about her country-sides, a solitary tenderness about her people that filled him with compassion and made him want to reach out to them and to the artist who painted them. She had[…]"
