Chapter 254 A pot-bellied middle-aged man
After having dinner at Ning Yao's place, Ning Chen walked out of the teachers' apartment, where his driver was already waiting for him at the school gate.
After getting into the car, he picked up the box containing the car model, his eyes shining with warmth, and gently touched the hood of the model with his fingertips.
The phone rang at that moment. Ning Chen glanced at the caller ID and, as expected, the screen displayed three words: Huo Zhijing.
"I understand why you want to leave, and I will give you a satisfactory answer as soon as possible." Huo Zhijing's voice was deep and his tone was meticulous on the other end of the phone.
"No need, I've already made up my mind." Ning Chen refused Huo Zhijing.
"You really like that girl named Luo Xiyao?" Huo Zhijing wasn't angry at Ning Chen's stubbornness; he simply changed the subject to Luo Xiyao.
"This is my private matter." Ning Chen didn't feel the need to explain; he knew his relationship with Ning Yao perfectly well.
“I’m not talking to you as your boss right now, so you can relax a bit.” Huo Zhijing suddenly laughed, his laughter revealing his tolerance. He acted like an elder, not minding Ning Chen’s childish tantrum.
"I'm quite relaxed. If it weren't for your sake, Huo Muxi would probably be in jail by now," Ning Chen said coldly.
He would not allow anyone to hurt his mother, no matter who it was.
He made the concession because he respected Huo Zhijing and was grateful for the care Huo had given him these past few days.
“I said I would give you an explanation, and I will. Where are you going after you resign? In the country, only Huo's Computer Base is the best. You should know that.” Huo Zhijing tapped his fingers on the car door, one tap after another, in a low, deep rhythm.
He needed Ning Chen to stay and help him develop software and design code.
"Thank you for your appreciation, but this time, the Huo family has crossed my bottom line." Ning Chen finished speaking, hung up the phone coldly, and stopped arguing with Huo Zhijing.
Hearing the busy tone on the other end of the phone, Huo Zhijing sighed softly.
He knew Ning Chen wouldn't give up so easily, but he still had to make the call.
"Call Huo Muxi to my study!" Huo Zhijing said, his expression growing increasingly grim.
He spoiled his good-for-nothing niece too much, which allowed her to do something like this and tarnish the Huo family's reputation.
Huo Muxi was still idly recovering from her injuries in the hospital, completely unaware of what she was about to face.
After several days of grueling classes, Cui Mengmeng was practically wilted.
The only fun was seeing Miao Yuliu's unfortunate appearance.
I heard that she's been having bad luck lately. Her shower water was cut off, there were live cockroaches on her bed, and someone inexplicably poured some white paint into her shower gel, which she couldn't wash off. In the end, she had to go to the hospital to get it fixed.
All of this was done by her few sycophantic roommates. Every time they finished a task, they would wag their tails and go to Xin Yujue to ask for candy, looking like they were loyal to Luo Xiyao.
Xin Yujue sent the pictures and videos to Ning Yao and Cui Mengmeng. Cui Mengmeng laughed so hard she almost fell over, secretly lamenting that Miao Yuliu had met the wrong person.
"That's about it, let's wrap it up." Ning Yao said to Xin Yujue with a slight smile in her eyes.
"Okay, I'll post everything they sent me on the school forum right now."
Xin Yujue quickly got to work. She had already edited the text and had the screenshot ready. All she had to do was put it into the box and send it with one click.
I wonder if Miao Yuliu would vomit blood and die if she saw these things.
Her close roommate, who was always by her side, ate and used her things, yet she did something utterly depraved to please her enemy.
Just thinking about it was horrible. Xin Yujue clicked her tongue in disbelief, but her fingers flew across the keyboard, typing out a striking title.
[The little-known secrets of dormitory 309, Building 7, for female students at the Communication University of China. Click in for a surprise—it's all useful information!]
The post quickly garnered a lot of attention, with many people leaving their comments.
Passerby 1: "My God, this kind of thing still happens at our school! Pouring white paint into shower gel is just too much!"
Passerby 2: "Setting someone up to fall into the lake, that's considered attempted murder, right? They could be sued in court."
Passerby 3: "Who is this female student surnamed Miao? I really feel sorry for her, living in the same dormitory with such a group of terrible people."
Passerby 4: "There must be something hateful about a pitiful person. This post only said that these female classmates were wrong, but did not say what Miao did wrong. I think that they must hate Miao to the bone for doing this. Miao must also have problems."
Passerby 5: "Live cockroaches are disgusting. If someone put one of those things on my bed, I'd want to kill them!"
Passerby 6: "This is indeed a bit of a shock. The key question is, why did these people film their crime scene? Doesn't that give Miao solid evidence to sue them?"
……
Ning Yao didn't read any further.
When Miao Yuliu returns from the hospital, they will naturally witness the spectacular dog-eat-dog scene.
Since its premiere, "Palm of My Hand" has been gaining popularity, and the character played by Ning Yao has been frequently edited into short videos.
Ning Yao's action scenes, in particular, are excellent. Her punches and kicks are clean, graceful, and beautiful. Her martial arts scenes are top-notch.
Luo Xiyao gained many more fans at school, and her popularity rose again, reaching over five million fans.
For a newcomer, this is a pretty good result. Ning Yao is happy because she acted based on her own strength. She is happier than anyone else for this achievement.
After class, Ning Yao had her books taken back by Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue. She had to go to the school affairs office because the principal wanted to see her.
Cui Mengmeng said with anticipation, "I wonder what dishes the Michelin three-star chef will cook for us today. He's amazing. We haven't had the same dishes twice in all these days."
Xin Yujue smiled and expressed her own expectations.
However, to the students next to him, these words sounded a bit pretentious.
A girl not far away heard Cui Mengmeng's words and immediately burst out laughing, making sarcastic remarks.
"Michelin three-star chef? Do you know how expensive a Michelin three-star chef is? How could an ordinary person possibly afford to eat there?"
"You're talking like it's the truth. What are you pretending for? If you could really afford those dishes, would you still be wearing these cheap clothes from street vendors to school?"
No sooner had the girl finished speaking than someone stepped forward to interrupt her, quickly leaning close to her and whispering a reminder.
"They are Luo Xiyao's friends, and they are very close. Luo Xiyao seems to be a rich heiress. They have indeed been eating at the teachers' apartment these days, and there is always a foreigner coming in and out of the teachers' apartment entrance."
"Does being a foreigner automatically make you a Michelin three-star chef?" The girl frowned; she genuinely disapproved of Luo Xiyao's behavior.
The claim that she's a rich heiress is just a rumor.
Perhaps that so-called chef is actually Luo Xiyao's sugar daddy.
Cui Mengmeng wanted to go up and argue with the girl, but Xin Yujue stopped her. She glared angrily at the girl, then turned and left with Xin Yujue.
After they left, the girl and her friends, not believing in superstition, secretly followed them.
They had just finished their first class and it was still early when they happened to run into the chef himself.
The chef was a portly, balding foreign man, at least fifty years old.
The two girls looked at each other, and simultaneously revealed a cunning smile.
Luo Xiyao is currently very popular, so if some ambiguous photos could be taken, she might be able to fetch a good price from the entertainment media!
