Chapter 205: Chapter 204 Fired?

(To the 20th brother of the God Rush, really thank you. I just checked and you’ve become the fourth disciple of this book. I truly appreciate your unwavering support! With another disciple for the book, we should be celebrating explosively but there’s simply no way around it, as the New Year is coming and I fear disruption to updates. It’s better to save some drafts to maintain stability! This Evil Master who revels in luxury will remember this, and will make it up with a bang in February after the New Year!)

"Boss, you’re here!"

Fatty Tang had been slumping, a look of gloom on his face as if he were anxious and worried about something. He hadn’t noticed who was coming, but at the sound of Xiao Yi’s words, his expression suddenly became startled, then immediately lit up with excitement as he looked up and saw Xiao Yi sitting there. He rushed over to Xiao Yi, overwhelmed with excitement. "I thought you weren’t going to show up!"

"That Fatty Tang, I’m going to be the death of him one day!"

Not far away, Wang Qiang, heading to his own seat, watched Fatty Tang’s excited dash toward Xiao Yi and let out a cold, mocking smile.

"Hmm, this damn fatty, these days he’s been tailing that Xiao kid and acting like he rules the sky, completely forgetting who he is. It’s likely that Xiao boy hasn’t received the notice yet. After he leaves, we’ll take our time dealing with him. We have to make his life a living hell."

A sinister gleam flickered in Li Han’s eyes.

Gao Junjie watched as Fatty Tang enthusiastically rushed toward Xiao Yi, his expression clouded with anger; he said nothing, but his demeanor clearly conveyed his agreement with his companions’ suggestions.

"Not coming? What do you mean? Why wouldn’t I come?"

Xiao Yi, upon hearing Fatty Tang’s words, immediately sensed something off about them, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Ah... that... nothing, just a slip of the tongue, haha. Anyway, boss, it’s good that you’re here. By the way, how come you arrived so early today?"

Caught off guard by Xiao Yi’s question, Fatty Tang was momentarily stunned, then quickly realized that Xiao Yi must have still not received that message. He instantly wished he could slap himself for being so talkative.

As he saw the look of confusion on Xiao Yi’s face, Fatty Tang’s own face began to look unnaturally flushed, and he stammered, trying to find a way to change the subject.

"Fatty Tang?"

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Present!"

Fatty Tang instantly snapped to attention, standing up straight like a soldier and responding loudly.

"Spill it, what’s going on."

Xiao Yi gave him a stern look.

"Boss, it’s really nothing..."

Fatty Tang hesitated as he looked at Xiao Yi, but seeing Xiao Yi’s eyebrows begin to lower as if he was about to lose his temper, Fatty Tang reluctantly steeled himself and said, "The thing is, boss, you’ve been expelled from school for fighting. The notice was issued this morning."

After saying this, as if worried Xiao Yi couldn’t handle the news, he quickly added reassurance, "Boss, please don’t get angry. Maybe there’s been a mistake, and I’m actively trying to get in touch with the school’s teachers to clarify the situation."

As he spoke, Fatty Tang’s chubby head almost seemed to sink into his neck, his cheeks reddening and his voice growing unconsciously quieter.

In fact, he knew the school hadn’t made a mistake; Xiao Yi had indeed been expelled. He wasn’t really actively seeking the teachers, because he had already done so. As soon as he got the news in the morning, he had gone straight to their head teacher to ask about the situation and tried to plead Xiao Yi’s case. However, the head teacher could not help him; he only looked at Fatty Tang sympathetically, sighed softly, and hinted subtly that the order had come directly from one of the school leaders, leaving no room for interference.

When he heard the head teacher’s words, Fatty Tang felt a chill run down his spine. He wasn’t stupid; he immediately grasped what was happening.

Who else could it be other than Gao Junjie and his cronies?

This kind of move wasn’t new for Gao Junjie; ever since middle school, besides bullying others, they had not refrained from getting students they disliked expelled.

Since Xiao Yi had crossed paths with Gao Junjie, Fatty Tang had always been worried about this matter, concerned that they would work against Xiao Yi in the shadows. But when nothing happened for a while, he began to harbor a glimmer of hope, thinking that their university was not like the regular middle and high schools and that Gao Junjie’s reach wasn’t that long, his influence not that great anymore.

Yet, the very thing he had feared the most had still come to pass.

I’ve been expelled?

Upon hearing Fatty Tang’s words, Xiao Yi was completely stunned.

I’ve actually been expelled?

Expelled within less than a semester of enrollment?

Xiao Yi had never imagined that he would be expelled one day, and couldn’t help but feel a sense of irony well up inside him.

After that wave of irony came a deep sense of irritation.

Although he didn’t really care about a degree from Z University, in fact, if it weren’t for the old man’s absurd command, he might never have attended Z University at all. His purpose for being here wasn’t really to study anything. Once he completed the task the old man had mentioned and figured out why he had been sent there, he would leave on his own accord. But it was one thing to leave voluntarily, and quite another to be inexplicably expelled by the school, especially before he had figured out what the old man wanted him to do. He was annoyed!

Fighting and brawling?

Indeed, although he had never read Z University’s statutes and regulations, he guessed that no school would allow fighting and brawling!

This excuse was indeed a good one. If the school was truly strict, fair, and impartial, and expelled him for this reason, even if he hadn’t completed his task, he wouldn’t have a second word to say. He’d just find another way, like sitting in on classes and slowly returning to Z University to find out the reason the old man had sent him there.

But clearly that wasn’t the case!

Considering the smug look the Four Young Evil Masters had on their faces when they entered the room, he could tell with his little toe what this was all about!

It seems they really thought of me as a sick cat they could push around just because I didn’t show my claws...

The Four Young Evil Masters, such grand titles, such formidable tactics...

Xiao Yi’s gaze swept coldly over the Four Young Evil Masters, who were also looking at him with smugness and mockery on their faces; a hint of a cold smile appeared on his lips.

For the first time, he truly felt a faint anger towards the Four Young Evil Masters.

He had always been low-key at school, and although he never liked the Four Young Evil Masters, he had never really seen them commit any evil acts, so he never really took issue with them. On the few occasions that they had conflicts, he had merely kicked them, controlling his strength well so not to truly harm them.

The reason he had been so lenient with them was not only to figure out why the old man sent him here and to enjoy a peaceful campus life, but more importantly, because he simply looked down on them!

In his eyes, the Four Young Evil Masters were like tiny ants, incapable of causing any real trouble.

But now, these ants failed to grasp his disdain and, instead of understanding their place, climbed onto his foot, all smug, and even intended to crawl onto his body!

How could Xiao Yi not be annoyed?

If you’re all so eager for death, then I’ll grant your wish and let you die a satisfying death!

A cold snort echoed in Xiao Yi’s heart; a faint chill flashed through the corners of his eyes.

The Four Young Evil Masters had been keeping an eye on this side. Although they were a bit far and couldn’t hear what Fatty Tang and Xiao Yi were saying, they could guess from their expressions that they were definitely talking about Xiao Yi’s expulsion.

Especially when Xiao Yi turned his head with a gloomy expression, they were even more sure of this guess.

Seeing Xiao Yi’s dark gaze, the Four Young Evil Masters not only didn’t feel scared but instead felt a strange pleasure because Xiao Yi’s gloomy face confirmed one thing: Xiao Yi was in a really bad mood, and making Xiao Yi unhappy was undoubtedly their greatest pleasure!

This was something they could easily understand. Anyone without any background or financial power, whose only way out was to get a good degree, would certainly not be happy after working hard to get into Z University, a school that could change one’s fate, only to be expelled in less than a semester.

Even if that person was a good fighter, it made no exception!

Nowadays, it’s a society governed by law, a harmonious society; fighting can’t be a reliance for survival!

You country bumpkin, no matter how good a fighter you are, what difference does it make?

If you’re told to get lost, you have to beat it obediently!

Today, I’m going to teach you a good lesson and show you who really rules this school, this society!

Gao Junjie looked at the dark expression on Xiao Yi’s face and felt a thrill that surpassed even the excitement of last night with that 36D girl. A faint smirk of scorn could not help but appear at the corner of his mouth.

The other three also felt an ineffable sense of comfort, along with an excitement they hadn’t felt in a long time.

Since Xiao Yi’s arrival, they had been suppressed, feeling awkward in the school. But now, they were about to be free again, ready to return to the carefree days they used to enjoy.

"Boss... actually, not going to school ain’t so bad; it’s just a piece of paper, really. I’m not just comforting you; our school doesn’t forbid outsiders from auditing classes. You can come to listen every day, just like a student here. If you don’t mind, after graduation, you can go directly to my dad’s company. While it’s not a big company, they can easily afford a salary of tens of thousands. You could even go there right now if you want!"

Fatty Tang saw Xiao Yi remaining silent for a long time and thought he couldn’t bear the blow, so he quickly looked up and anxiously comforted Xiao Yi.
