Chapter 277 Not Everyone is Your Daddy!
"You're going abroad? When might you be coming back?" Inside the dean's office, Du Yuelin asked somewhat nervously. He was worried that once Hao Jian left, he might never come back to visit.
"It could be as short as within a month, or as long as within two months," Hao Jian said.
"That's good, that's good." Du Yuelin let out a sigh of relief, as two months was an acceptable wait.
But just at that moment, a fat middle-aged man walked in. It was the school's Academic Director Wang Zhigang.
Wang Zhigang was as fat as a pig, wearing a dark blue suit that appeared as if its buttons were about to burst open, and moreover, there was a disgusting mole with a long black hair hanging from it at the corner of his mouth.
Wang Zhigang looked at Hao Jian with a strange expression before reporting to Du Yuelin, "Dean, Dean Qiu from the Business School is here."
"Qiu Chenggong? What's he here for?" Du Yuelin frowned, clearly having a low opinion of this Qiu Chenggong.
"Because he says a teacher from our school injured one of their students. He is demanding an explanation," Wang Zhigang said, looking somewhat displeased at Hao Jian as he spoke.
"A teacher from our school injured their student? How is that possible? Which teacher did it?" Du Yuelin asked in surprise.
"It was me," Hao Jian admitted. Although he knew that He Zexi would be making a complaint, he hadn't expected it to happen so soon, and for him to bring the dean along too.
"You? Why would you hit him?" Du Yuelin looked at Hao Jian in bewilderment. As far as he knew Hao Jian, he didn't seem like the type of person to cause trouble without reason.
"As a teacher, you fail to set a good example, and you even bring this thuggish behavior into our school, recklessly resorting to violence and tarnishing the reputation of our Chinese Medicine Hospital. You're a disgrace to the profession," Wang Zhigang said with a cold huff, clearly prejudiced against Hao Jian.
Hao Jian touched his nose, somewhat speechless in response to Wang Zhigang's harsh words. He hadn't even been made aware of the incident and was already being accused — it was obvious this was nothing but nitpicking.
Du Yuelin looked towards Hao Jian, "Hao Jian, what exactly happened? Whose fault was it?"
So Hao Jian went on to tell Du Yuelin what had happened earlier.
Upon hearing this, Du Yuelin also nodded in understanding, "So, it seems it wasn't your fault — that He Zexi was being too arrogant."
"What do you mean, not his fault? That He Zexi is just a child. As a teacher, can't you be a bit more tolerant? If you can't even tolerate a child, what kind of teacher are you?" Wang Zhigang rebuked unkindly.
Hearing this, both Hao Jian and Du Yuelin couldn't help but frown. Even they could see that Wang Zhigang was just being argumentative.
And Hao Jian could be fairly certain that this Wang Zhigang must have some issue with him.
"Director Wang, isn't that a bit too provocative? He Zexi had nothing but foul language coming out of his mouth, and he even tried to hit me. What's wrong with me teaching him a lesson?" Hao Jian said with a sardonic smile.
"If he tried to hit you, you should have called the police, not taken matters into your own hands. What you did was wrong," Wang Zhigang still insisted on his point of view.
"Oh, is that so," Hao Jian nodded, then slapped Wang Zhigang across the face, sending him tumbling to the ground and leaving him utterly dumbfounded.
Du Yuelin was speechless when he saw this and hadn't anticipated that Hao Jian would actually act on his words so swiftly.
"Why don't you call the cops? Let's see if they can help you," Hao Jian said to Wang Zhigang with a cold sneer.
Wang Zhigang was also stunned; he had not expected Hao Jian to dare attack him right in front of Du Yuelin.
"You." Wang Zhigang was so angry that his body trembled, wanting to retaliate, but when he remembered how Hao Jian had single-handedly dealt with a military troop before, he hesitated.
"Wasn't it you who said to call the police after being hit? Of course, you don't have to report it; after all, you are the director. I'm sure you're very forgiving, heh heh," Hao Jian mocked.
This left Wang Zhigang at a loss for words, feeling as if he had just shot himself in the foot.
"Du Yuelin, you old fool, where are you?" Just then, a very impolite shout came from the doorway.
Before Du Yuelin could respond, the person pushed the door open and entered.
It was an old man about the same age as Du Yuelin, with a goatee beard and a cane in hand, dressed sharply and carrying an air of arrogance that gave away his identity as a businessman at first glance.
He Zexi naturally followed behind him.
Seeing this person, Du Yuelin's face turned sour; in the past, whenever their two schools held basketball or soccer matches, it was always the Business School that won. The Chinese Medicine Hospital had never triumphed.
Zheng Chenggong had not spared any insults towards Du Yuelin either, indicating just how bad their relationship was.
"It was him who hit me!" He Zexi pointed at Hao Jian as he spoke.
In a flash, Qiu Chenggong's sharp gaze shot towards Hao Jian, firmly fixing on him.
"Well, isn't that nice, running to the teacher for help after being bullied—a good, obedient child indeed." Hao Jian chuckled cynically, mocking He Zexi for not acting like a man.
Hearing this, He Zexi also felt a maddening itch in his teeth.
"As a mentor, you actually incite fights and brawls, and afterwards, your attitude is still so vile. Do you really think no one can handle you?" Qiu Chenggong was exceptionally infuriated at Hao Jian's arrogance.
"Don't pretend to take the high ground with me, do you think I'm unaware of what you want to do? That kid got exactly what he deserved from me, and everyone knows what he did, so quit your pretense." Hao Jian retorted coldly.
"Just listen to him, Du Yuelin, what kind of teacher have you recruited for your school? This isn't a teacher, this is nothing but a thug, a hoodlum!" Qiu Chenggong spat out in anger, he had assumed that Hao Jian would give him some face, being the dean, but it seemed he had overestimated the matter.
After serving as dean for so many years, this was the first time he had ever come across such an arrogant teacher.
But Du Yuelin gave no response, coldly saying, "Our school will handle our teachers, we don't need your interference. Just make sure your own students don't end up like you, acting like mad dogs biting people indiscriminately."
"Fine, fine, fine, your Chinese Medicine Hospital is really something! I will certainly report you to the Ministry of Education!" Dean Qiu was incensed beyond measure, completely provoked by Hao Jian and Du Yuelin.
"And me! Old fart, I am from the He Family Clan, you dare treat me like this, I'll never let you off the hook!" He Zexi also spoke fiercely.
"The He Family Clan?" Upon hearing these words, Du Yuelin's expression also turned ugly. The He Family Clan was a prominent and powerful family in the nation, offending them would indeed bring considerable trouble.
"What's the matter, scared? If you know what's good for you, hurry up and fire this dumbass, or else you can wait to be fired yourself." Spotting a moment of hesitation flicker across Du Yuelin's face, He Zexi immediately laughed triumphantly.
"Dean, Young Master He makes sense. Our school doesn't need such a morally corrupt teacher. It's not worth offending Young Master He for his sake." Wang Zhigang quickly chimed in.
"Shut your mouth!" Du Yuelin immediately scolded him in a fury, clueless about why Wang Zhigang would side with someone from another school.
Hao Jian did not interject, waiting for Du Yuelin's decision. If Du Yuelin decided to sacrifice him to placate both He Zexi and the dean, he would leave the Chinese Medicine Hospital immediately. A dean like that didn't deserve his service.
Fortunately, Du Yuelin made the right choice and looked emotionlessly at He Zexi, "I'm sorry, if it's an issue with a teacher from my school, I would dismiss him without needing you to tell me, but if it isn't his fault, then I'm afraid I can't comply."
"Old bastard, you've got guts!" He Zexi laughed angrily, giving Du Yuelin a thumbs up.
Hao Jian, holding the globe from Du Yuelin's desk, smiled satisfactorily and said, "Dean, rest assured, as long as I, Hao Jian, am here, no one can touch you."
"No one can touch him? Who do you think you are? Kid, there are many people in this world you can't afford to provoke," Qiu Chenggong scoffed at Hao Jian's naïveté. He was unaware of Hao Jian's background, but he couldn't help laughing at Hao Jian's bold statement.
Hao Jian had no idea how powerful the He Family Clan was; if he did, he wouldn't have made such funny remarks.
"In this world, I truly don't know who I can't afford to provoke," Hao Jian laughed, being the God of Death, he had risen to the pinnacle of the world. Who in such circumstances could he not afford to provoke?
"It's useless to talk more. Just wait for the He Family Clan's retaliation! He Zexi's father is already on his way here, and once he arrives, you'll be crying without tears!" Qiu Chenggong snorted in anger. He had already informed He Rongsheng, who was presently on his way with backup.
Upon hearing this, He Zexi also sneered arrogantly, "Kid, think you're tough? Let me tell you, my dad has brought Martial Artists from the family, each capable of taking on a hundred. They are not like those useless soldiers. In a bit, you just wait to be torn in half alive!"
"Ah, why are there so many idiots in the world?"@@novelbin@@
Hao Jian couldn't help feeling a bit annoyed.
He hurled the globe on Du Yuelin's desk at He Zexi with such force that it exploded with a loud bang, and He Zexi's nose was broken as his face took the impact.
He Zexi collapsed on the ground, tears streaming down his face as he screamed in agony. Everyone present was stunned.
A plastic globe could do this to a person?
"Bastard, I will kill you!" He Zexi roared exhaustively in anger, evidently exasperated, having been hit by Hao Jian twice in one day. In his heart, a myriad of Caonimas were stampeding.
As soon as he finished speaking, Hao Jian stomped on his head and said with utter arrogance,
"Why can't you learn to behave? Is it because you've been coddled from a young age, leading to extreme arrogance? Today, I'll teach you a life lesson. The course is called, 'Not everyone is your daddy!'"
What do you think?
