And at this moment, Hao Jian strolled over to Wang Zhigang, chuckling, "Director Wang, you should be paying up now, shouldn't you?" "Paying? Pay for what?" Wang Zhigang's expression changed dramatically as he snorted angrily. "Director Wang, we had an agreement earlier. If you lost, you would pay Hao Jian, the teacher. You're not thinking of reneging on that, are you?" A female teacher spoke up at this time. "That was cheating, it doesn't count!" Wang Zhigang said with an ugly expression. How could he have known that all Hao Jian had to do was to move his mouth to lead the school basketball team to victory? If he had known Hao Jian was capable of this, he would never have made the bet. This was ten thousand yuan we're talking about, his monthly salary. If he had lost fairly, he would have been fine with it, but Hao Jian was obviously scheming against him. How could Wang Zhigang accept this? "So, you're planning to renege, are you?" Hao Jian said with a smirk that didn't reach his eyes, grabbing Wang Zhigang by the neck. "Hao Jian, what... what are you doing? Don't mess around, I am your superior!" Wang Zhigang said with a look of terror. Has this guy gone mad? Was he really going to hit him in front of everyone? "What do you think? Since you're planning on reneging, naturally, I have to teach you a lesson," Hao Jian replied as if it were the most natural thing in the world. "And do you think I care whether or not you're my superior?" Wang Zhigang was struck by a tremor, realizing that this man might truly not care. Recalling Hao Jian's ferocity, alone standing up to an army, Wang Zhigang couldn't help but pale, "Hao Jian, I'm warning you, with so many teachers watching, if you dare to do anything to me, I'll call the police and have you arrested!" "I didn't see anything," one teacher turned his head away. "We didn't see anything either," a group of teachers also turned their heads. "You... you..." Wang Zhigang was stunned, his expression turning stiff as he looked at these heartless colleagues. Hao Jian's laugh was full of mockery, "Considering we're colleagues, I'll let you choose a leg. Which one do you want broken?" "Don't, I'll pay you, I'll pay! That's it!" Wang Zhigang was almost in tears. How could he dare to renege now? Hao Jian was no pushover; if he said he would cripple him, he surely would. S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In a panic, Wang Zhigang pulled out a stack of banknotes from his pocket to give to Hao Jian. Compared to ten thousand yuan, his own leg was more important. "Do you realize how petty you are? If you had just paid up honestly from the start, would all this have been necessary? No wonder Teacher Qin can't stand you," Hao Jian counted the money while he spoke. "What?" Wang Zhigang was shocked and quickly looked toward Qin Bing. Enjoy new stories from My Virtual Library Empire But Qin Bing said with an expressionless face, "I never said that." Wang Zhigang sighed in relief, relieved that Teacher Qin had never said such things. "How can you say you never did? Didn't you tell me how Wang Zhigang, that Pig Head Three, pesters you all day long, and how he sends you cheap trinkets and hairpins that pinch pennies? And you said he gave you a crystal ball for your birthday that he bought from a street stall for just over ten yuan," Hao Jian said. Wang Zhigang's face turned scorching hot at once, and he could already feel the mocking eyes of his colleagues. And Qin Bing's face also turned rather ugly. Although her expression was still as cold as ever, the twitching at the corner of her eyes was unmistakable. This bastard, he had blurted out everything she had confided in him. How was she supposed to face Wang Zhigang after this? "What's the matter, Director Wang, your face looks terrible. Did I say something wrong again? Oh, why can't I keep my mouth shut!" Hao Jian feigned self-reproach while slapping his own face, then quickly added, "Don't be mad, Director Wang. That's just how I am, I always speak the truth. I don't know how many people I've offended. Don't take it to heart, eh? The crystal ball is nice, too—childlike and nostalgic, an ode to innocence. Your level of thought is much higher than ours." "Hmph!" With a face shadowed by anger, Wang Zhigang snorted and walked away without looking back, fully aware that Hao Jian was mocking him deliberately. Because Hao Jian led the Chinese Medicine Hospital to victory, the entire faculty and students were thrilled. For a time, Hao Jian's popularity in the Chinese Medicine Hospital was unmatched. Du Yuelin even threw a special celebration banquet for Hao Jian, gathering students from both schools. The original goal of Giggs's visit was to suppress the Chinese Medicine Hospital, but it turned into a genuine mixer, all due to a misstep caused by Hao Jian. The celebration banquet was for Hao Jian, but he only symbolically sat for a few minutes before leaving. "What's the rush? Where do you plan to go?" Hao Jian had just stepped out of the hotel when he saw Qin Bing leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, watching him mockingly. "What are you doing here? Drinking in the Northwest wind in this freezing weather. Are you self-harming?" he teased her. "I harm you to the head! Tell me, what's the deal? Why did you tell Wang Zhigang everything I told you?" Qin Bing said, furiously. This way, wouldn't Wang Zhigang bear a grudge against her? How was she supposed to face him now? "Hey, you said yourself that you hate Wang Zhigang's harassment. I did it to help you drive him away. This way, he won't have the face to bother you anymore, right? You should be thanking me," Hao Jian feigned confusion. "Thank you, my ass! Don't forget he's my direct superior. If he wants to make my life difficult, it would only take a minute," Qin Bing shot back angrily. "Don't worry, he wouldn't dare. If he really does something like that, you tell me. I'll make sure he doesn't live to regret it!" Hao Jian winked suggestively. "Look at you, thinking you're all that!" Qin Bing rolled her eyes, but she couldn't help but laugh at Hao Jian's antics. "Tell me, why did you leave without saying goodbye? Even if you were going overseas, you should have told me. You made me worry that something had happened to you." Recalling this matter, Qin Bing still harbored a deep sense of hidden resentment. Hao Jian's departure overseas without informing her had made her think she would never see him again, and that she had lost such a friend for good. "I was working as a bodyguard, escorting a young girl to Atama." "Atama, that place of chaos?" Qin Bing exclaimed in surprise, "I've heard that the people there are very brutal. You didn't get hurt, did you?" Hao Jian smiled, a warm feeling surging in his heart, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm not that fragile." "If something like this happens again, you need to tell me in advance," Qin Bing said with a hint of grievance, like a wife wronged. Seeing the usually cold Qin Bing reveal such a tender side, Hao Jian paused, then somewhat guiltily lowered his head, "Well, I have some urgent business, so I'll be leaving now." "What urgent business?" Qin Bing clearly didn't want to let him go so easily. "There's a student in your class named Jiang Yutong, you know her, right?" Hao Jian asked. "Yes, what about her?" Qin Bing nodded; Jiang Yutong was indeed her student. "Her father is seriously ill, having problems with his legs. I've promised to treat him, and we've agreed on today. It's about time to head over," Hao Jian said with a smile. Qin Bing responded with an "Oh," showing understanding, "Then I'll go with you." "Eh? You don't want to stay here and join the celebration with everyone else?" "Forget it. Crowded events like that have never been for me!" Immediately after, Qin Bing left with Hao Jian for Jiang Yutong's home, where she, dressed in pink pajamas, no longer looked stiff but rather a lot cuter. Seeing Hao Jian and Qin Bing arrive together, Jiang Yutong was also somewhat surprised, "Teacher Qin, what brings you here?" "You girl, how could you not say a word to your teacher when such a big thing happened at home?" Qin Bing reproached. If it hadn't been for Hao Jian telling her, she wouldn't have known about the situation in Jiang Yutong's home. Jiang Yutong bowed her head in embarrassment, "I just didn't want to bother you." "Silly child!" Qin Bing ruffled Jiang Yutong's hair. "Yutong, is that Teacher Hao Jian who has arrived?" At that moment, Jiang Yutong's mother, Wang Wanjun, stepped out of the kitchen. Seeing Qin Bing, she couldn't help but pause, "Is this... Hao Jian's girlfriend?" Upon hearing this, a blush of shyness spread across Qin Bing's face, while Hao Jian let out an awkward laugh. "Mom, what nonsense are you talking? This is my head teacher!" Jiang Yutong said indignantly, visibly upset and embarrassed. "Oh, not the girlfriend? That's a pity then," Wang Wanjun spoke her mind as she was someone who said whatever came to mind, and so she openly spoke her thoughts. In her view, Hao Jian was so good and Qin Bing so beautiful, they should be a match made in heaven, a perfect couple. So why weren't they? At this, Qin Bing's face turned even redder. "Mom! Can you just not talk!" Jiang Yutong stomped her foot in irritation, feeling utterly embarrassed. Seeing the awkward expressions on Qin Bing and Hao Jian's faces, Wang Wanjun realized she had misspoken and quickly tried to make amends with a laugh, "Ah, I'm so sorry, both teachers. I tend to speak without thinking and let the wrong word slip out. I hope you didn't take offense." "We don't mind," Hao Jian said with a bitter smile. "Well then, come on in. I'll just cook a couple more dishes, and it'll be ready in no time," Wang Wanjun chuckled, feeling quite happy inside. This time two teachers had come; surely the chances of successfully treating the old man would double. "No need, let's first have a look at Uncle," Hao Jian decided they should first check on Jiang Yutong's father. "That's... alright," Upon hearing Hao Jian's words, Wang Wanjun was naturally moved because it showed that Hao Jian genuinely cared about her husband's illness and wasn't just putting on a show. It wasn't long before Hao Jian saw Jiang Yutong's father, Jiang Qihui, lying in bed. His limbs had completely atrophied from lack of movement over a long time, and Jiang Qihui himself was as thin as skin and bones. The whole room was filled with a strong medicinal odor, very pungent to the nose. Qin Bing also couldn't help but frown at this sight. When Jiang Yutong saw Qin Bing's reaction, she was startled, "Teacher, is my dad's illness very difficult to treat?" "Difficult, very difficult!"
