Everyone looked up and saw that the speaker was a woman around twenty-five to twenty-six years old, dressed in a professional suit—a plump figure—who was in fact their class adviser, Pang Shanshan.
Pang Shanshan glanced at Xu Renjie and frowned slightly, saying, "Xu student, how can you smoke in the classroom?"
"Eh? Can’t I?" Xu Renjie purposely feigned ignorance, then added, "Then I’ll go outside to smoke." Saying this, he really did walk past the class adviser and started smoking outside the classroom.
A flash of helplessness flickered in Pang Shanshan’s eyes. She really had no way to deal with Xu Renjie—after all, wasn’t School Director Wang his maternal uncle? It was well known that once Xu Renjie’s young aunt began to act coquettishly, School Director Wang was completely paralyzed, and wouldn’t dare not to obey her. And Xu Renjie’s aunt just happened to dote on her nephew excessively, which had resulted in Xu Renjie’s arrogant and domineering behavior at Tenglong High School.
Once Xu Renjie left, his three underlings, obviously not as arrogant as him, quickly scurried back to their seats under the fiery gaze of the class adviser.
Joking aside, could Pang Shanshan be a class adviser at this school, and at such a young age, without some real abilities?
Cough, although... although there were rumors in the school that the beautiful teacher Pang Shanshan had secured her position by trading favors with the principal, the truth was still unknown to many.
It must be mentioned here that the principal and the school director were not the same person; the principal was at best an employee, working for School Director Wang.
Of course, this is not to say that Tenglong High School was entirely owned by School Director Wang alone, but in the board of directors, his shares amounted to a staggering sixty percent, which essentially meant he had the final say in the school.
Outside the classroom, just as Xu Renjie had finished his cigarette and tossed the butt onto the ground, he saw the academic director approaching with a country boy, which took him by surprise.
You see, although that ’Lord of the Soil’ (a backhanded nickname for the academic director) was nothing remarkable, he had been directly appointed by School Director Wang to the school, and if he tattled to Wang, Xu Renjie would not be afraid. However, should School Director Wang mention it to his father, he would really be in a tight spot. He hurriedly stamped out the cigarette with his foot and greeted the academic director with a cheery, "Hello, Director."
"Hmm!" Since he was the school director’s relative, the academic director still showed some courtesy, nodding and saying, "Xiao Xu, it’s self-study time, why are you standing outside?"
Xu Renjie, not wanting the academic director to see the cigarette butt under his foot, purposefully exclaimed, "Director, I got into a bit of trouble today, so I came out to stand as punishment!"
"I see, well, then there’s no issue, go back in," the academic director said, actually looking to curry favor with Xu Renjie, considering the connections he possessed.
Xu Renjie was very embarrassed when he suddenly noticed the boy next to the academic director laughing. He became infuriated, glaring hatefully at the boy, thinking, ’Dare to laugh at Laozi, damn it, tired of living, are we?’ But outwardly he said to the academic director, "Director, it’s right to stand as punishment for my mistakes. It’s no big deal, class will be over soon."
Hearing that class was about to end, the academic director remembered the purpose of his visit. He nodded at Leng Xuan beside him and said, "Here we are. This is your classroom, come in with me."
