Chapter 91: One Cunning Scheme After Another (1/2)

Zhao Qingfeng didn’t understand why Deputy County Chief Pang made such a decision.

Was it recognition?

He didn’t have time to think more about it.

After the Director of Academic Affairs handed him the oath, Zhao Qingfeng raised his right hand in a fist, and all the students stood up, also raising their fists, solemnly swearing in the name of youth.

……………..

At eleven in the morning, the oath-taking ceremony officially ended.

Under the teachers’ guidance, the students returned their chairs, tidied up the venue, and went back to their classrooms.

Apart from Li Sibo, who was continuously comforted by his mother and bitterly hated Zhao Qingfeng, every student started their intense revision.

After the ceremony.

The students were even more motivated. Zhang Yang borrowed a bottle of essential balm from Fu Xiaoli, reminding himself not to feel drowsy and studying hard on the test questions provided by Zhao Qingfeng.

Zhao Qingfeng did the same.

Topping the exams was no longer the goal; becoming the top scorer was the only standard.

He was already ‘invincible’ in other subjects.

So he spent the afternoon focusing on revising Chinese composition. Old Yan even came to provide guidance for over two hours. If Zhao Qingfeng hadn’t insisted he take a break, Old Yan might have talked all afternoon.

Time flew by.

Soon it was time to leave school.

After school, Shen Lingyao insisted on dragging Zhao Qingfeng home, not wanting him to go to the internet café.

After all, things were different now.

Getting into a university and becoming the top scorer were two different things. Even if he didn’t become the top scorer, he at least had to get into a top university, so as not to be too embarrassed.

Zhao Qingfeng refused, “Yaoyao, I have to go. They must already know about my oath, I need to find an excuse to reassure them.”

The Zhao family’s situation was almost like a soap opera, discussed throughout the county with daily updates. Zhao Ming surely knew about it.

Shen Lingyao had no choice but to let him go.

At the internet café.

As expected.

Zhao Ming’s face was long, as if the sky had fallen.

Zhao Qingfeng purposely rushed in hurriedly, heading straight for the small room.

Zhao Ming followed, closing the door behind him, and asked with a serious face, “Bro, did you just ignore everything we talked about before?”

“We agreed, we deal with our stuff, and the elders deal with theirs. But what did you say at the oath-taking ceremony today?”

“Something about showing them you’re not to be underestimated, are you planning to retaliate against my mom?”

“How am I supposed to handle this, what about our relationship, what about Chun Tao’er?”

Zhao Qingfeng reacted defensively.

He would respond based on what Zhao Ming said.

After listening, he smiled helplessly and spread his hands, “Bro, do you think I wanted to say that? Do you think those were my words? Uncle Shen taught me that, and my mom forced me to go up there, I had no choice!”

“And besides, don’t you know me?”

“I’ve been hanging around here for so long, with Chun Tao’er accompanying me.”

“Besides, I have no intention of studying now, all I think about is umm…”

“I was even thinking, if I don’t do well in the exams, I could stay here and work as a network manager or something. You really misunderstood me…”

Zhao Qingfeng explained earnestly and then eagerly opened a folder, asking, “Bro, any new movies updated? I want to watch some uncensored ones.”

Zhao Ming observed and analyzed.

With his twenty-something years, he couldn’t see through Zhao Qingfeng’s forty-something years of thoughts.
