The rumor was that the beauty queen’s boyfriend knew kung fu, and was an incredibly powerful martial artist. He had defeated a group of boys on Registration day.
In the beginning, the rumor was that he defeated tens of boys. The rumors became more ridiculous as it evolved into different versions, though each one of them involved him defeating hundreds of boys.
The beauty queen’s boyfriend had become a legendary figure like Dugu Qiubai. (TN: Dugu Qiubai is a legendary swordsman in Louis Cha’s wuxia novels. His name literally means 'seeking defeat”.)
Another legendary feat by the beauty queen’s boyfriend was to dethrone the previous dean of students.
In many students’ eyes, he was a hero.
Some of the female students shrieked. Their gazes upon Tang Hao were passionate.
Tang Hao was confused when he saw that.
“What’s going on?” He muttered.
Yan’er smiled coyly. “You’re a popular figure now, Brother hao! Don’t you know that you’re a legend in many students’ eyes?”
Tang Hao scratched his head and was at a loss for a reply. He knew that it was because of the incident during Registration Day.
“Alright, let’s go!” Yan’er walked in front, though she turned around occasionally to steal glances at Tang Hao.
“What business do you have in school today, Brother Hao?” Yan’er asked.
“Oh, I just need to settle some paperwork here before I go to college,” Tang Hao replied.
Yan’er was surprised. “You’re going to college?”
Tang Hao nodded. “I have some connections in Provincial City. He got me a spot at Z University.”
Yan’er mouth became slightly agape and her face displayed a look of incredulity.
Z University was the top college in the province and one of the top universities in the country. Many third-year high school students], including Shi Yan’er, dreamed of going there.
“Congratulations, Brother Hao!” Yan’er said with a bright smile.
She was truly happy for Tang Hao.
Then, she continued, “I’ll have to do my best so that I can enter Z University too.”
“How are your studies now? Can you cope?” Tang Hao asked.
“Of course I can. I got twelfth place in the midterms,” Yan’er raised her head and said proudly.
“That’s amazing!” Tang Hao was surprised.
First High had more than a thousand students. It was a great achievement to obtain twelfth place.
As they continued walking, many students crowded around them to see.
They walked around the school once, and it was soon time for classes. Tang Hao sent Yan’er to her classroom, then went to the administration building to look for Principal Cai.
“Long time no see, Lil Bro Tang!”
Principal Cai shook hands eagerly with Tang Hao when they met.
They exchanged some pleasantries, then they sat down and Tang Hao explained what happened.
Principal Cai was secretly shocked. The person who managed to procure a spot for Tang Hao in Z University must wield a lot of authority. There were not many people in the entire Province Z that could do that.
He thought for a while and said, “The paperwork is no big deal. I can help you with that.
“Right, I’ve heard from Ol’ Li that your company is doing very well!”
“It’s not bad!” Tang Hao said.
Principal Cai laughed heartily. “You’re too humble! You’re still young, yet you’ve accomplished so much. You can be an honorary alumnus. Right, are you interested?”
“Honorary alumnus?” Tang Hao was surprised. He had never considered that before.
He knew about honorary alumni from back when he was studying in First High, though they were all middle-aged people or at least thirty years old.
He was only eighteen years old!
“I think I’m too young for that?” Tang Hao hesitated.
“Age isn’t a problem. In fact, it’s better that you’re young so that your achievements are emphasized. You can be the role model for your juniors.”
“Well…” Tang Hao felt embarrassed.
Principal Cai seemed to be planning to publicize his deeds.
He had seen it happen to other people while he was a student, but he did not expect that his turn would come so soon.
“Eh, you don’t need to be shy! The students should know about the good deeds of an accomplished youth like you. You’re the pride of First High!” Principal Cai said with a smile.
“Well… alright then!” Tang Hao finally agreed.
“OK, that settled it!”
Tang Hao felt emotional. More than a year ago, he was expelled from school and his reputation was ruined. Now, he was back and became an honorary alumnus. The situation then and now was like comparing heaven and earth.
An honorary alumnus was a prestigious title. That would increase his good reputation.
Tang Hao had to give back something to repay Principal Cai’s goodwill.
“Principal Cai, First High is my alma mater. Now that I have some money, I think I ought to repay my debt of gratitude. I’d like to donate some money to improve the conditions of the school so that my juniors can enjoy a better study environment.”
Principal Cai was shocked, then he smiled widely. “Alright! Thank you on behalf of all the students of First High!”
“I’ll donate five million yuan! Is that enough?” Tang Hao said.
“That’s enough!” Principal Cai could not close his mouth from smiling. “This is a momentous event. We’ll hold a donation ceremony another day. Don’t worry, every cent of your donation will go toward improving the school’s infrastructure.”
They chatted for a while more before going to the office to settle the paperwork.
The paperwork was settled very quickly, thanks to Principal Cai’s assistance.
Then, Tang Hao sent the documents over to Provincial City.
Two days later, Tang Hao received a call from Vice Governor He. The enrollment procedure was complete, and he was a student of Z University with immediate effect.
Chapter 210 - The Transfer Student
A boy wearing jeans, a white button-down shirt, and a backpack appeared at the main entrance of Z University that morning. There was nothing about him that stood out.
Standing at the entrance, a smile appeared on his face as he looked toward the university grounds.
He had dreamed of going to college for a long time.
He walked in while looking at his class schedule of the day.
He had two classes in the morning. The first three periods were microeconomics, and the next two were English.
Tang Hao was enrolled in the Faculty of Economics.
He had a good memory and any humanities subject was a piece of cake for him. Furthermore, the knowledge he would obtain in his studies of economics would help in the management of his company.
He asked around and eventually found his classroom.
“Number 308. This is it!”
Tang Hao walked up to the door and peered inside. Many students were sitting inside the classroom. Some of them were reading while eating breakfast.
Tang Hao hesitated for a while, then went in through the backdoor.
Some people turned around to look at him as he stepped into the classroom. They furrowed their eyebrows.
“Hey, pal, I think you’ve got the wrong class! This is Number 308,” a girl shouted at him.
Tang Hao smiled and replied, “I’m at the right place. I’m here for classes.”
Then, he found a seat in the back row and sat down.
The girl was incredibly confused.
“What’s going on? Who is he? Why is he in this class?”
“Is he a repeat student? Why haven’t we heard of him?”
The students discussed among themselves while stealing glances at Tang Hao.
“I guess that he might be an observer!” Someone suggested.
“That sounds about right!” Some other people agreed with that person.
Their gaze toward Tang Hao became mocking, and some of the girls were even looking at him with contempt.
Tang Hao felt a little uneasy.
‘Even if I’m an observer, that isn’t the way to treat someone new in the class!’
Tang Hao grumbled under his breath but thought nothing further of it.
Suddenly, someone in the front of the classroom stood up and walked toward Tang Hao. He was a tall and thin male student. He wore a pair of glasses and had average looks.
That male student narrowed his eyes and looked doubtfully at Tang Hao.
He thought that Tang Hao somehow looked familiar, but he could not recognize who he was.
Tang Hao lifted his head. He was surprised to see the person standing in front of him.
He knew that boy. Back in First High, he was in the class next door. He was a [high-achiever] named Cao Fei.
“You are…”
Cao Fei inspected Tang Hao, then exclaimed shortly after. “Ah! Weren’t you from the next class?”
Then, he displayed a look of incredulity on his face.
If he remembered correctly, Tang Hao was expelled from First High for fighting. That meant that he did not graduate from high school, so how did he suddenly appear in Z University?
Cao Fei furrowed his brows and his eyes flashed with condescension.
To a high-achiever like him, a student expelled for fighting was no different from a hooligan.
Furthermore, he was currently a student at Z University. He felt superior toward someone who did not graduate high school.
He thought that Tang Hao must be at Z University on a visit.
“Do you know him, Cao Fei?” The students next to him asked, “Who is he?”
Cao Fei glanced at Tang Hao and said nonchalantly, “We’re from the same area, and he used to be in the class next door in high school. However, he’s not a student of Z University. He didn’t even graduate high school!”
“What?” Everyone was surprised. Their gaze toward Tang Hao became condescending.
They would not be so bothered if Tang Hao was an observing student from another class. However, if he was not a student, then he had no right to be sitting in that class. Furthermore, he was someone who did not graduate high school.
“So he’s illiterate! Tsk tsk, too bad! And he looks quite handsome too!”
“I say, he must be stalking Teacher Jiang! What a pervert!”
The students discussed in whispers. Their gaze toward Tang Hao was filled with hostility.
“Class is almost starting and the teacher is almost here. Let’s throw him out!” Someone shouted.
“Right, right! Throw him out!” The students agreed enthusiastically.
A female student stood up. She was tall and wore a red dress. She looked rather beautiful and intelligent.
She walked over. With a cold face, she said, “Class is almost starting soon. Please leave the room immediately. You’re disturbing us.”
“You are…?” Tang Hao asked.
“My name is Liu Feifei, and I am the class representative. You’re not from our university, right? Please leave now. Otherwise, I’ll be calling the security!” Liu Feifei’s tone of voice was ice-cold.
Tang Hao smiled and replied, “Class Rep Liu, I am indeed a student of this university! Look at this, I’m here to attend classes.”
He opened his backpack, retrieved a stack of textbooks, and placed it on the table.
Everyone was shocked by that display. Those were indeed the textbooks in their syllabus!
Liu Feifei stood stiffly on the spot, not knowing how to respond.
‘Who is this person? According to Cao Fei, this guy isn’t from this school. How else would he obtain the syllabus?’
Cao Fei smirked and said mockingly, “Aren’t you a shameless guy? You’re pretending to be a student at Z University. Do you think that we’re all idiots?
“I know your background! You were expelled from high school in your second year. I’ve also heard that you come from a poor family in a mountain village. You should be a peasant laborer, right? Why are you pretending to be a student? How shameless!
“I bet you bought the textbooks online! Stop pretending to be a student at Z University. You’re nothing but a hooligan!”
Cao Fei’s gaze upon Tang Hao was full of condescension.
Tang Hao furrowed his brows and his face darkened.
‘This Cao Fei is pretty annoying!’
“How would you explain this then?” Tang Hao smirked, then took out his student ID from his backpack and tossed it on the table.
Liu Feifei picked it up, looked at it, and was immediately confused. That was indeed a student ID of Z University!
As she inspected it, she wondered if forgery technology had become so advanced.
Cao Fei took the ID from her hands and looked at it. “This looks like the real thing, but it must be a fake! I wonder how much you paid for it?
“I say, how shameless can you be? You’re just a hooligan who did not graduate high school. What’s the point of you pretending to be a college student, and a student of Z University at that?”
Liu Feifei’s expression became even colder than ever.
She thought that the student ID must be a forgery. The ID stated that the guy was in their class, but they had never heard of him before.
‘This guy is shameless!’ She cursed in her heart, and her disdain toward Tang Hao increased.
“Hey! If you’re not leaving, I’m calling the security!” Liu Feifei yelled.
“There’s no need to call the security. Just throw him out by force!”
Several boys stood up with fierce expressions on their faces. They crowded around Tang Hao.
Chapter 211 - Beautiful Female Teacher
“Get lost from here if you know what’s good for you!”
“Do you deserve to set foot in Z University?”
The few boys cracked their knuckles and rubbed their fists. They looked extremely unfriendly.
Liu Feifei furrowed his brows. “Guys, you don’t have to get physical!”
“Class Rep, this kind of person is a rascal and begs to be beaten up!” One of the stronger boys said. Then, he smirked and reached for Tang Hao’s collar.
Tang Hao’s face darkened. His right hand reached out as fast as lightning, blocked the incoming hand, and slammed in on the table.
Bam!
The table shook violently.
The boy wailed in pain and his face contorted.
“If you want to get physical, I can say that none of you are my opponents. Don’t humiliate yourself!” Tang Hao said coldly while glaring at the boy.
Tang Hao released his hand, and the boy fell sitting on the floor.
The boy quickly got on his feet and his face displayed a vicious expression. He was about to attack Tang Hao again when everyone heard a commotion outside.
The commotion became louder and louder. They consisted of whistles and catcalls from a crowd of male students.
“Teacher Jiang is here!”
The students in the classroom were alerted. The boys quickly returned to sit upright on their seats. They had excited expressions on their faces.
Soon, they heard a faint sound of high heels on the corridor outside. They were getting closer and closer to the classroom.
Then, someone appeared at the entrance.
Tang Hao looked in that direction and was stunned.
A beautiful figure appeared at the door.
Her face was pure like a blooming lotus. Her skin was fair and her lips were red. Her red phoenix eyes were animated and profound. Her beauty was breathtaking.
She was tall and her body was curvaceous.
Her figure could be described as ‘bewitching’, if not for her pure face.
She was dressed rather plainly. She wore a thin fleece jacket and a pair of jeans and her hair was tied in a ponytail that bobbed whenever she
walked.
She walked in, carrying a stack of books and a laptop.
The commotion outside the classroom ceased.
Tang Hao finally understood why the students behaved that way earlier. Their teacher was an extremely beautiful woman.
Jiang Wanying placed her books and laptop on the table. Her eyes quickly scanned across the room and noticed the crowd at the back of the classroom.
“What’s going on?” She asked.
Her voice was pleasant and attractive.
Liu Feifei pointed accusingly at Tang Hao and said, “Teacher Jiang, this guy here isn’t from our university, and he’s pretending to be someone in our class. We’re in the middle of throwing him out!”
Jiang Wanying was surprised. She furrowed her brows.
Her eyes fell on Tang Hao.
She was quite sure that she had never seen him in her class before.
“Teacher Jiang, not only this person is shameless, but he’s also violent! We’ll have to get the security guards and throw him out!” Liu Feifei continued.
Jiang Wanying nodded.
Liu Feifei shot a hostile glance at Tang Hao, then took out her phone to dial the security department’s number.
“Ah!” Jiang Wanying, standing on the teaching podium, exclaimed in surprise as though she had remembered something. “Wait a second!”
Liu Feifei was shocked. “What’s wrong, Teacher Jiang?”
Jiang Wanying walked toward Tang Hao as fast she could on her high heels. “What is your name?”
“Tang Hao!”
“You’re that transfer student?” Jiang Wanying exclaimed. Her beautiful eyes were opened round and wide as she inspected Tang Hao curiously.
She only knew the afternoon the day before that there would be a transfer student in her class.
Transfer students so late in the semester were either Z University students from another department or students in the same department of another college. She did not know where Tang Hao came from.
She was also very curious.
Everyone in the class was shocked when they heard their teacher’s exclamation.
Then, all of them roared in surprise.
