Chapter 683 - 653: The Big Shot Arrives
Zhao Xinting was a bit puzzled. Where did this little girl come from? She hadn’t seen her before.Ji Jiajia said, "It’s those three who gave me trouble. Xiao Dong stood up for me."
Zhao Xinting thought to herself, I know my son well. He might have the desire to stand up for others, but he certainly doesn’t have the ability or the courage.
Yuan Minghui and Lin Zhihao’s families had also arrived. Lin Zhihao’s mother was not someone easy to deal with. With her portly figure adorned with jewelry, she charged at Fu Xuedong, pointing at him and shouting, "How can you be so barbaric? Look at what you did to my son!"
Zhao Xinting positioned herself in front of her son. Although she was a bit scared too, as a mother, her first instinct in times of danger was to protect her son.
Xu Chunliang saw this and secretly sighed in his heart. The Fu Guomin family had it hard, being separated in two places. In these situations, it was usually the father’s role to stand up.
Fu Xuedong said, "Don’t take it out on my mom. I’m the one who did it, so take it out on me."
Zhao Xinting had never seen her son so defiant. She stopped him, saying, "Xiao Dong, this isn’t your business."
"Isn’t his business? My son was beaten so badly by him. If the child is not taught, it’s the father’s fault. How did you educate him?"
"Before blaming others, why don’t you look at your own son? Bullying the weak at school, being a coward, it’s no wonder you have a worthless son with parents as low quality as you." Ji Jiajia rushed up at once.
Zhao Xinting muttered inwardly. Where did this wild girl come from? Isn’t she just escalating the conflict? All three families have backgrounds, and none can be trifled with.
Lin Zhihao’s mother stared widely, glaring at Ji Jiajia: "Where did you come from, little girl? Who do you think you are, reprimanding me..."
Smack!
Ji Jiajia didn’t bother with niceties, swinging a heavy slap across her face, the slap echoing crisply, sending one of Lin Zhihao’s mother’s earrings flying, her face stinging painfully.
Lin Zhihao’s father was stunned, took quite a while to react, and, grabbing a chair, was about to smash it at Ji Jiajia.
But the four bodyguards were not to be trifled with. One of them had already sprung into action, kicking the stool into pieces, following up immediately with a punch to the man’s face.
"Stop!" The police arrived just in time, any later, and the two groups would’ve clashed.
Xu Chunliang stayed far away, sitting there sipping coffee, evidently not having to do anything today.
The police controlled the scene. During this time, various people arrived, including the children’s homeroom teachers and the principal of Shuren Middle School.
Hua Zhuyue also arrived. The bodyguards had already reported the situation to her. At first, Hua Zhuyue hadn’t planned to show up, feeling guilty towards Xu Chunliang, a bit embarrassed to see him. But upon hearing how serious things had gotten, she felt it inappropriate not to appear.
Witnessing the chaotic scene, Hua Zhuyue glanced around, spotting Xu Chunliang sitting alone in the corner, drinking coffee, detached from the situation. Hua Zhuyue hesitated for a moment but still approached him and sat down. "What’s the situation?"
Xu Chunliang shook his head and said, "Not sure, I’m just here to watch the fun."
Hua Zhuyue gave him a resentful look. His methods were becoming more cunning. Why drag Ji Jiajia into this? Didn’t he know that the girl thrived on chaos?
Hua Zhuyue asked, "Who is that little guy?"
Xu Chunliang replied, "He’s sort of my student. Jiajia sees herself as his senior and is standing up for him."
Hua Zhuyue found it both amusing and exasperating; in just a few days, he had set up his own sect, taking in two disciples in a row. "Then congratulations to you."
Xu Chunliang said, "Nothing to congratulate. These two disciples are both trouble."
Xu Chunliang noticed Principal Qin of Shuren Middle School speaking privately with Zhao Xinting and quickly signaled Ji Jiajia with a glance.
Ji Jiajia understood and moved closer.
Principal Qin had been notified by the police station because the students involved in the dispute were from their school. It was only natural for him to come and help mediate. Principal Qin’s stance was that it was better not to make a big deal out of this, as it would definitely affect the school’s reputation.
Zhao Xinting, considering that her son still needed to attend the school, didn’t want to become too estranged from it.
However, Lin Zihao’s parents were adamant. They pampered their child dearly and couldn’t stand seeing him wronged. Seeing their son beaten, they insisted on seeking justice for him, speaking with quite an arrogant tone, "This matter cannot just end here. The school must give us parents an explanation."
Ji Jiajia said, "I agree. If a student is being bullied at school, the school authorities should bear some responsibility. It’s because you didn’t handle the issue properly from the start that things kept spiraling."
Principal Qin, being reprimanded by such a little girl in front of so many people, looked extremely displeased. He assumed Ji Jiajia was also from their school, so he sternly asked, "Which class are you in, young lady?"
"What does it matter which class I’m in? Aren’t you just a principal? What’s so great about you? If you want others to respect you, you should first set an example. Why do you treat the students differently? Are you qualified as an educator?"
Principal Qin was furious: "I’m not talking to you. Where are your parents?"
Hua Zhuyue said: "You must be Principal Qin of Shuren Middle School, right?"
Principal Qin looked at Hua Zhuyue, a bit puzzled. Judging by her age, this beautiful woman didn’t seem to be Jiajia’s parent. Could she be her sister?
Hua Zhuyue said: "Shuren Middle School is a private school with a great reputation. I was even planning to send Jiajia to Shuren School."
Inwardly, Principal Qin felt disdain. Did they think anyone could get into Shuren Middle School? Families that get in are generally wealthy or influential. Many people try to pull strings and look for connections. It’s no exaggeration to say that, at a time when education is highly valued, securing a spot at Shuren Middle School is as hard as climbing to the sky.
The class teacher nearby finally found an opportunity to show off in front of the principal: "We at Shuren don’t just accept any student."
Hua Zhuyue chuckled: "I don’t like the way you put that. Is the threshold for Shuren Middle School that high?"
The class teacher said: "Shuren Middle School requires students to be well-rounded in morality, intelligence, physical education, and aesthetic development. Besides grades, personal qualities are also considered." He glanced sideways at Ji Jiajia, this crazy girl who acted like a delinquent. Dream on if she thinks she can get into Shuren Middle School. There was no hope before, and having offended Principal Qin, there’s even less hope now.
Ji Jiajia was relentless: "What a lousy school, judging by the quality of students you cultivate. Even if you beg me, I won’t come."
Principal Qin said: "Young lady, speak with respect. You must take responsibility if you defame the school’s reputation."
Hua Zhuyue laughed: "Jiajia, you indeed need to be responsible."
Ji Jiajia thought, whose side is Hua Zhuyue on anyway, and snorted: "Sue me if you dare!"
Hua Zhuyue said: "Sixty percent of Shuren’s shares belong to you."
This statement left everyone bewildered. The class teacher thought, are you kidding us? This little girl as a major shareholder of Shuren? As if she could be.
Principal Qin’s lips curled into a mocking smile. Who are they trying to fool? The major shareholder of Shuren is Star Fund.
Hua Zhuyue said: "Your dad owns shares in Shuren through Star Fund. The reason he bought Shuren in the first place was so you could study back home, quite a pity."
Xu Chunliang, who was some distance away, heard clearly. Being rich is really nice. For Ji Buyao to arrange education for his daughter, he went all out and acquired sixty percent of Shuren’s shares. Now that Ji Buyao is missing, as his sole heir, Ji Jiajia inherits everything.
Hua Zhuyue, smiling, said to the skeptical Principal Qin: "The regular attendee of the board meetings is Yang Qingming of Star Fund. He reports to me."
Principal Qin was stunned internally. My God, could it really be such a coincidence?
Ji Jiajia said: "Sister Hua, do you mean Shuren Middle School is mine?"
Hua Zhuyue said: "So if you want to go to school, no one can stop you. If you don’t like a teacher, you can have them pack up and leave anytime." She glanced at the class teacher, who, although he couldn’t confirm this matter, sensed the grim situation from Principal Qin’s expression.
Hua Zhuyue said: "Even if it’s the principal you don’t like, you can fire him."
Ji Jiajia said: "That’s a must."
Hua Zhuyue’s gaze swept across the faces of several parents: "Your three families have some background. The Lin family runs a beverage trading company, and in the past few years, you’ve been delivering goods to the properties under Blue Star through Ma Changming’s connections. After what you’ve done just now, you better stop. I will have someone check your transaction records, and if there’s any violation, Blue Star will reserve the right to pursue accountability."
Lin Zhihao’s parents were so frightened their faces turned pale. Could this woman be from Blue Star Group? Is she the vice president?
Lin Zhihao’s mother felt numb on the side of her face where she was slapped. I’ve been hit by the daughter of Blue Star Group’s head, I cannot afford to mess with her.
Hua Zhuyue turned to Yuan Minghui’s parents and said: "Radiant Advertising is yours, and annually you take a promotion fee of ten million from Xinjia Entertainment, don’t you?" Xinjia Entertainment was the entertainment company that Ji Buyao established after Blue Star, mainly for entering the film industry, and also the main asset he left for his daughter.
Yuan Minghui’s father, scared, hurried to clarify: "Sorry, we’ll definitely discipline our son and that disappointment of a boy at home."
Hua Zhuyue smiled: "That is your own business, business will always just be business. Jiajia, do you still plan to cooperate with Radiant Advertising?"
Ji Jiajia said: "Kick them far away."
Hua Zhuyue said: "And there’s a Mr. Zhu, who runs a loan shark business. I’ll compile his information and provide it to the police for a thorough investigation." Zhu Keding’s wife was already sitting paralyzed on the bench, too weak to even argue.
Ji Jiajia looked at Principal Qin and said: "How does your school admit students? Doesn’t it review their character and investigate their family background? You even admit loan sharks, how will you explain this to the school board?"
