A sapphire car came to a halt in front of No.1 High School.

When Hu Lei came out of the car, he saw a Volkswagen moving slowly out of the school.

The registration plate of the Volkswagen indicated that the car came from the capital.

Inside the car, Gu Yanqi asked Li Nanli, “I heard from Liu Mi that Fu Zhi has been giving you medical treatment, right? How have you been feeling recently? Did you get yourself checked at the hospital?”

“Why?” Li Nanli asked, glancing at him.

Although Gu Yanqi knew Li Nanli would not be happy about the thing he was going to say next, he still said it nonetheless. “Well, it’s not that I don’t have faith in Fu Zhi, but your physical condition has become even worse since you returned from the rescue mission in Country F. Besides, we’re going to Myanmar to acquire the Zheng Family’s mines, and I’m almost 100% sure that it will be a tough fight.”

Li Nanli had just struck a deal with the Zheng Family two days ago. Therefore, he was going to take a team of technical personnel and his company’s most advanced equipment to Myanmar in a few days to take over the mines of the Zhao Family. Li Nanli had been busy. Other than managing the Li Corporation, he had to take care of the Huo Family and lead the forces in the dark.

Gu Yanqi did not know how long Li Nanli could hold out given his current physical condition.

“The elder of the Ouyang Family sent someone to the capital the other day. It seems to me that they want to connect with the Li Family by marrying Ouyang Ya to you,” Gu Yanqi said. “I know you like Fu Zhi a lot, but do you really think a high school girl could give any substantial help to your family? When we’re in Myanmar later, we’ll have to attend the Zheng Family’s banquet, so both Jiang Jinshu and I suggest that you bring Ouyang Ya as your plus-one.”

After all, the Ouyang Family had dedicated a lot of effort and time to raise Ouyang Ya. She was someone who not only had the ability to lead, but she was also a good combatant.

Besides, nobody knew what would happen when they were in Myanmar later. Therefore, compared to Fu Zhi, who had grown up in a loving family, Gu Yanqi and Jiang Jinshu were more inclined toward choosing Ouyang Ya.

Li Nanli scoffed coldly, “You’ve overestimated Ouyang Ya and you have definitely underestimated Zhizhi.”

Gu Yanqi was stunned.

He knew very little about Fu Zhi, so he did not know how Li Nanli had reached that conclusion. Although the Zheng Family was a branch of the Huo Family, one still could not deny the fact that they were a bunch of dangerous outlaws.

If something really happened, Gu Yanqi did not know if Fu Zhi would be able to protect herself in a dangerous and chaotic environment, but even if she could defend herself, would she be able to drive a car? She was still under 18, right?

That said, unlike Jiang Jinshu, Gu Yanqi would not spill every thought on his mind.

“Well, it’s up to you in the end, honestly.” Gu Yanqi sighed. “Fu Zhi is your sweetheart, so I’ll respect your decision.”

Chuckling, Li Nanli replied, “No. She is not my sweetheart.”

His eyes were filled with a limitless amount of gentleness when he mentioned Fu Zhi. He looked skyward, and it seemed as if he was looking at someone through the sky as he said, “She’s my everything.”

It took about 10 minutes to walk from the gate of the school to the hall.

Before Fu Zhi went to the hall, she went to Class 1 to look for Lu Yubai.

When she knocked on the door, everyone turned their heads in unison and looked at her.

Unlike Class 21, the atmosphere in Class 1 was tense.

When Xu Tongtong saw Fu Zhi, she snorted through her nose and went back to her group of friends.

Fu Zhi looked around Class 1, but she could not find Lu Yubai. Just as she was about to leave, she bumped into the language teacher of Class 1.

“Fu Zhi? Professor Hu Lei’s class is about to start, so why are you still here?”

Fu Zhi pointed at Lu Yubai’s seat and said, “I’m here to look for Yubai. I want to take him to the class as well.”

Lu Yubai had not picked up her call or replied to her text message.

The language teacher thought that they were really close and they looked more like brother and sister compared to Lu Chuwan. Then, she told Fu Zhi, “He was in the meeting room just now. I think you’ll still find him there.”

After Fu Zhi left, Xu Tongtong slammed her book on the table. “What the hell was that supposed to mean? Was she showing off to us that she can attend Hu Lei’s class while we cannot? Besides, Professor He and his team didn’t come here because of her, so what makes her think that she can simply get someone into the class without their permission? Is Lu Yubai her real cousin? Does she not know that it’s improper for boys and girls that are not related to each other to be so close? She’s such a shameless b*tch!”

The class monitor of Class 1 tugged at Xu Tongtong’s sleeve and said, “Keep your voice down, Tongtong. Can’t you see that our teacher is looking at you?”

“So? I’m just stating the truth!” Xu Tongtong had been in a bad mood because she could not attend Hu Lei’s class, so she needed to shout and yell to let off some steam. “I don’t really know what our school is thinking. They are willing to take care of a bunch of underachievers who don’t even have a future. I don’t believe that Mr. Ouyang doesn’t know that we’re the ones who keep the enrollment rate of No.1 High School high. Why won’t the school help us fight for the chance to attend the class?”

The students in Class 1 fell silent. After a short while, some of them nodded slightly.

“It’s already ridiculous enough for Song Fang and Fu Zhi to let Class 19 and Class 20 join the extra classes, but now even the students of Class 3 are angry with us.”

“You’re right. Professor He didn’t come to our school for Fu Zhi, so she shouldn’t push her weight around.”

“To think that I considered Fu Zhi my goddess. I’m really such an idiot. Not only is she petty-minded, but she’s also a person without vision. She puts her own needs above our school’s needs and she doesn’t care what will happen to our school at all!”

Class 1 consisted of the top 40 students in No.1 High School. They were the most elite bunch in their school, so it went without saying that they would complain when they were mistreated.

The language teacher did not say anything. Since their teacher did not comment, Xu Tongtong and the class monitor shared a glance. They nodded at each other, and Xu Tongtong got to her feet. “Guys, listen to me.”

Everyone spun their heads and zeroed in on Xu Tongtong. Then, Xu Tongton said, emphasizing every word that spilled out of her mouth, “Ms. Qian said that Professor He only chose Class 21 for the extra classes, but it’s Fu Zhi who picked the other two classes. I propose that tomorrow morning, after Professor He has given a Physics lesson to Class 21, we wait for him outside the school with the Class 2 students to fight for the other two places. I believe that as long as we work together, Professor He will be touched by our sincerity and will certainly let us join the extra classes!”

Everyone felt that it was a good idea, so they all nodded. They were also students of No.1 High School, so they definitely could fight for what they wanted.

In the meantime, Fu Zhi and Lu Yubai were walking toward the hall. Lu Yubai had been talking on the phone all the way there, and it seemed to Fu Zhi that the person on the other side of the line was a man.

A hoary voice said, “If you’re going to the Monza Circuit in Country Y, a Formula 1 car is the best option, as its ultra-high performance braking system enables a Formula 1 car to come to a complete stop from 240 km/h in just 2.5 seconds. However, if you want to join the racing on Mount Qiu Ling in Myanmar, things will be very different. There is a total of 49 turns across the entire mountain track, and there isn’t any barrier besides the cliff. In my opinion, you should buy the Formula One car modified by the Fu Corporation if you’re really keen on taking part in the competition.”

Unlike other sports competitions, rallying not only required the driver to have good driving skills, but the financial and technical support from a big company was also equally important.

The Fu Corporation had cooperated with a number of renowned experts to expand its car racing industry. It had the best technical support and it embodied the pinnacle of technology for the entire racing industry.

Then, the man added, “But you should also know that the Fu Corporation is a big corporation, and the price of their racing cars is comparable to that of a small aircraft. If you really want to perform well in the race, perhaps you can ask your grandpa for help?”

“We will talk about it later,” Lu Yubai said before hanging up the phone.

The Fu Corporation had just sold a racing car at a price of 7 million dollars. Even though the Zhou Family was wealthy, Lu Yubai did not want to rely on his grandpa too much.

Fu Zhi came to a stop and looked at Lu Yubai. “You want to participate in the rally on Mount Qiu Ling in Myanmar?”

Lu Yubai was stunned for a moment when he heard the question, as he had not expected Fu Zhi to know about it. He raised his arm to ruffle her hair and said, “I think I will pass this time. Let’s wait until we finish the college entrance examination.”

He paused for a moment and then added, “Do you remember the silver racing car in my garage? The trophy for the rally on Mount Qiu Ling in Myanmar is made from diamonds. After you get your driver’s license, I will get the trophy for you and give you the racing car as well.”

There were stars in the young man’s eyes as he was talking. Fu Zhi looked at him for a while and then replied, “I will give you a racing car too then.”

Fu Zhi had just invested in a movie, so she did not have much money now. Lu Yubai thought she was going to give him a model car, so he nodded and said gently, “Okay.”

Director Liu was in a bad mood today.

The parents of the couple that he had caught yesterday not only did not support him, but they even said that they should let their children enjoy love freely. Had he not gotten the recording to prove to the parents that the boy was scum and had been dating a lot of girls in the forest at the same time, he would have been the bad guy who was hellbent on breaking up a pair of lovebirds.

Then, another thing happened. Hu Lei’s class was about to start, but Fu Zhi only showed up one minute before the class!

Xiao Liu was angry, and when he was angry, things would get very bad.

He grabbed Fu Zhi’s bag and hissed, “Do you know what time it is? Why can’t you come 10 minutes earlier and wait for the class to start in your seat? What if you’re late to class? What if the teacher punishes you by asking you to stand in the corner?”

A normal student might have started to apologize to Director Liu, but Fu Zhi was not an ordinary student.

She looked straight at Director Liu and said, “About that… You don’t have to worry so much, Xiao Liu. I’m very good at timing everything.”

Director Liu did not know what to say. He felt exhausted, and his shoulders slumped down, making him look like a deflated puffer fish. He waved his hand at Fu Zhi and said, “Never mind, just go in. Don’t worry about me.”

By the time Fu Zhi and Lu Yubai entered the hall, Hu Lei was writing some questions on the blackboard. When Song Fang saw them, he waved his arm at them and said, “Sister Zhi, over here!”

The seating in the assembly hall was arranged by Song Fang in the morning. The girls would sit in the front, while the boys would sit in the back.

When Fu Zhi heard about the seating arrangement from Song Fang, she looked at her seat, which was beside Song Fang’s, and fell silent.

Song Fang threw a pen at her and asked in a low voice, “Where’s your textbook?”

“I left it in the classroom, I think,” Fu Zhi replied.

“You think?” Song Fang was dumbfounded. “If you don’t bring your textbook, how are you going to listen during the class?”

“I’m not listening to the class.”

Song Fang was speechless.

Then, he threw his textbook on Fu Zhi’s table. After doing that, he turned around and pulled Wang Yu to sit between them before pulling a stack of colorful pens out of his pencil case, which he had just bought recently.

When he realized that Fu Zhi was staring at him, he smiled in embarrassment and said, “Well, don’t you think it’s beautiful?”

Fu Zhi did not know what to say. She then put her phone on silent mode and started to play her game.

Hu Lei was talking very fast on the podium.

He did not have any experience as a high school teacher, so he did not know how to adjust his talking speed. Therefore, even though the students looked very confused, he continued his lesson.

After he cleaned the blackboard, he showed two more questions that were similar to the last question on the blackboard with a projector and said, “Please pay attention to the blackboard. These two questions are basic. They are easy to answer, so I’m not going to explain them to you guys.”

Then, he moved to the next question. “As for this question, it’s tougher and it involves a lot of calculations. It will certainly appear on your test paper, so those who are interested can refer to the answer themselves. I’m not going to explain it either.

“As for this formula, I’m sure you guys learned it during junior high school. If you’re not familiar with it, go back and ask your junior high teacher. I’m not going to go deep into it either.”

Then, he took a look at his watch and said, “Let’s take a 5-minute break. After the break, I will ask two students to come up to the stage to answer a few questions. Anyone who can’t answer the questions is going to copy the questions and answers 1,000 times.”

The crowd was speechless.

Song Fang could not hold back anymore, so he turned his head to Fu Zhi and asked, “What is this? How can he teach like that?”

Fu Zhi lifted her head from her phone and took a glance at the projector.

All the students in the three classes were underachievers. When they heard that Hu Lei was going to call some of them to the stage to answer some questions, they kept their heads low, and nobody dared to look him in the eye.

Song Fang and Wang Yu held hands and chanted, “You can’t see me! You can’t see me! You can’t see me!”

Hu Lei scanned the room and pointed. “Fifth row, fourth column. The boy with the buzzcut.”

Song Fang was stunned.

‘Me?!’
