Chapter 925: Chapter 925: I Don’t Buy Your Act
Principal’s office.
Zhou Zhishan stood at the door of the principal’s office, feeling a bit hesitant. After all, she had only graduated for a little over a month and hadn’t really left the school behind.
She was a bit intimidated by the sudden intrusion into the principal’s office.
But before Zhou Zhishan could hesitate any longer, Li Feng directly pushed open the door to the principal’s office and walked in.
"Hmm."
Sitting behind the office desk, Principal Fu Yibo glanced up at the two who entered, furrowing his brow slightly, "What do you need?"
"I have something to discuss with you."
Li Feng plopped himself down on the office sofa.
"Oh."
Fu Yibo glanced at the casual Li Feng and then at Zhou Zhishan, "Are you students from our college?"
Before Li Feng could speak, Zhou Zhishan quickly interjected, "Hello, Principal Fu, my name is Zhou Zhishan. I’m a graduate from our school’s Dance Department, and I just graduated this year."
"I’m here because of tonight’s school anniversary event."
"School anniversary event?"
Hearing Zhou Zhishan’s introduction, Principal Fu’s attitude softened a bit, "What’s your issue?"
"It’s like this, I previously received an invitation from the school to participate in tonight’s anniversary event, but I was just notified that my performance was canceled by the school, so I wanted to ask about it."
Zhou Zhishan took a deep breath and said.
"Oh, such a thing happened."
Fu Yibo listened, frowning, "Although I’ve been keeping an eye on the anniversary event, the specific affairs are being handled by one of the school’s vice principals."
"How about this, I’ll call to inquire for you. The other party shouldn’t have canceled your performance without reason."
"Indeed, they wouldn’t, but someone gave a nod to make this decision."
Li Feng looked at Fu Yibo from the sofa, with an amused expression.
"Perhaps you could call the vice principal in charge to come over and face the confrontation. I think the situation will become clear."
Li Feng said.
Fu Yibo glanced at Li Feng. Though the man was sparing with words, he conveyed plenty of information. This school anniversary marked the school’s thirtieth and, while it couldn’t compare to those century-old celebrations, it was still significantly meaningful.
Fu Yibo did not want anything to go wrong with this opportunity to showcase his school’s anniversary performance.
After all, he was the principal.
Fu Yibo immediately picked up the phone and called the vice principal responsible for the event: "Old Zhang, it’s me."
"Did you cancel a performance by a graduate named Zhou Zhishan?"
"What’s the reason?"
"Yes, she’s here with me."
"Alright, I’ll wait for you."
Fu Yibo hung up the phone and looked at Li Feng and Zhou Zhishan, "Vice Principal Zhang will be here shortly, and we’ll know what’s going on when he arrives."
In no time.
A man holding a thermos, around forty and a bit balding, Zhang Shan walked in.
Upon entering, Zhang Shan’s eyes scanned Zhou Zhishan standing in the office. There was a fleeting look of amazement, but it quickly disappeared.
"Principal."
"Hmm, Vice Principal Zhang, please explain the situation to them."
Zhang Shan smiled and turned to Zhou Zhishan, "I originally didn’t want to mention this, but since you came to the principal, I have to address it."
"This school anniversary is a major event for us. Everyone’s been busy long and hard, aiming for perfection without mishaps."
"Zhou Zhishan, you’re a recent graduate. Inviting you back was meant to set an example and be a role model, and we even wanted you to give a speech to inspire your juniors."
Fu Yibo nodded in agreement.
"However."
"Today, I received a report claiming Zhou Zhishan has a sugar daddy and caused trouble outside the school last night, injuring our outstanding graduate Xia Peng."
"You should know, Xia Peng is a key attraction of this celebration, and now he’s in the hospital."
Fu Yibo frowned upon hearing this, "Vice Principal Zhang, is this true?"
Zhang Shan nodded, then shook his head slightly.
"The truth of this matter is beyond our school’s control. After all, both Zhou Zhishan and Xia Peng have graduated, and our school isn’t a police station. We can’t know all the details."
"But there’s no smoke without fire, and now someone has brought it to me. I can’t just turn a blind eye. I heard it’s already circulating in the school."
"Zhou Zhishan, technically, I shouldn’t interfere with your private life, but as a graduate of our school, your values are important."
Zhang Shan turned to look at Zhou Zhishan, with his gaze also landing on Li Feng sitting on the sofa.
"Won’t this be the person in the rumors who supports you and injured Xia Peng?"
"You have no idea, how dare you say that."
Zhou Zhishan looked at him, red-faced with anger.
"I said it was a rumor, I don’t know if it’s true or not, but I can’t just ignore it. There are so many eyes on this anniversary, and we’ve even invited a few media outlets. I don’t want to make a fool of myself."
"As for the matters between you, I have no authority to intervene."
"You!"
Zhou Zhishan was no match for this seasoned old hand. His words were foolproof, leaving Zhou Zhishan unable to do anything about him.
Clap, clap.
Sitting on the sofa, Li Feng began clapping, drawing the attention of the three others in the office. Li Feng stood up directly from the sofa.
Zhou Zhishan glanced at Li Feng with a bit of nervousness.
Li Feng walked straight up to this balding vice principal, smiled, and said, "Do you think I came here to reason with you?"
Zhang Shan met Li Feng’s gaze and gave a cold snort, thinking this immature guy dared to challenge him.
"What, do you want to hit me?"
Zhang Shan stepped forward half a pace, his beer belly bumping into Li Feng, "Why don’t you dare to try?"
Li Feng looked at the challenging Zhang Shan.
"I’m not one for empty talk; now you have two choices. One, take back all that nonsense you spouted."
"Two, you let me try it, but this option is a bit harsh, don’t blame me for not warning you."
Zhang Shan curled his lips and looked at Li Feng contemptuously.
"Humph, don’t bring your street smarts here. I, Zhang Shan, wasn’t scared into this position. I’d like to see what you can do to me. Go ahead and touch me; let’s see how the rule of law handles people like you."
"You think having a bit of money makes you something. Let me tell you, I, Zhang Shan, am not buying it."
Zhang Shan held his head high, proudly projecting his beer belly.
"You’ve got guts."
Li Feng praised, "Since you chose the second option, refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit, let’s see if you can handle what I have."
After saying that, Li Feng turned and sat back on the sofa, taking out his phone to make a call.
"Vice Principal Huaxi, there’s someone named Zhang Shan, I want to know everything about him."
