Chapter 114: I''ll Do Well for You Guys


    They hadnt known each other for a long time, but it was long enough.


    Cheng Juan knew that if Qin Ran wasnt at he wits end because of the urgency, she wouldnt have contacted him.


    He hadnt even asked her for her reasons and had immediately used all hiswork and resources to get He Chen in. He only found out what the medicine was when he spoke with the doctor-in-charge.


    Hed taken a good look at the test tube and recognized the logo.


    Cheng Mu, whod thought that He Chen was just a friend who helped her get something on the way, was speechless.


    Any medicine developed by First Research Institute wouldnte cheap. Even a jab costs millions of yuan. Cheng Juan gave a light cough before slowly exining.


    Hed been in touch with that institute before and knew the market rate.


    Cheng Mu waspletely stunned. He didnt know what to think about He Chen, whod got such an expensive medicine on hand but was dressed so ordinarily.


    Then how did she get hold of it? Cheng Mu looked in the direction where Qin Ran had now disappeared from and started the car again.


    Cheng Juan quietly said, I dont know.


    The fact that He Chen was a young woman who dared to report first-hand, on-site news, and was free to move about as she wished already proved that she wasnt an ordinary reporter.


    Qin Ran knew Qin Ran, Mayor Feng, and some others.


    But it was only He Chens identity that was odd. Cheng Juan couldnt help but knit his brows together as he thought about how they might know each other.


    ording to the reporter, she and Miss Qin are online friends. Cheng Mu stopped the car in front of the school doctors office. Miss Qin had helped her before. I think Miss Qins technical skills are rather good. Maybe shed helped her out in that before, so she was willing to make the trip to Yun Cheng this time.


    There was logic and there was evidence to it, rather convincing


    Cheng Mu himself was convinced.


    Because he never wouldve thought that hed just met two of 129 Clubs core members.


    Cheng Juan nced at Cheng Mu and paused, remaining silent.


    **


    Lu Zhaoying had been on shift in the school doctors office the whole time. But hed given Cheng Mu a call at one point, so he knew roughly what was going on.


    Now that there were no patients, he took hisptop out and checked on some data. Seeing that both of them were back, he excitedly said, Master Juan, do you know what Im looking at now?


    Cheng Juan poured himself a ss of water and leaned against the table, not responding.


    Lu Zhaoying realized that he wasnt as enthusiastic about it but went on anyway. 129 Club is looking for new members soon. Theyre probably going to recruit one this time.


    Cheng Juan was still thinking about Qin Rans incident and wasnt paying much attention to Lu Zhaoying initially.


    But his words caught his attention. He narrowed his eyes. Recruiting?


    Yup. I wonder who itll be this time. Lu Zhaoying turned the screen to face them. Its just one person. I bet those in the capital are going mad for that spot.


    The 129 web page was a gloomy ck.


    129 Club recruited members every year, but only the most ordinary ss ones.


    But even so, everyone was dying to get selected.


    Then it surely is my goddess! Cheng Mu couldnt suppress his excitement. If she takes part this year, 129 would surely pick her!


    Lu Zhaoying thought about it seriously and turned to Cheng Mu. If its her, thats possible.


    It must be! Cheng Mu couldnt control his emotions. The people of 129 are way too mysterious, they never ever show their faces. If my goddess bes a member there, I might just be the first to find out! Maybe Id even be able to get Lone Wolfs autograph! Or be invited to some internal event!


    Just look at you. Cheng Mu nced at Cheng Mu and said casually. He then turned away and went to analyze his anatomy model.

    Meanwhile, Qin Ran was back in her bedroom.


    She removed her jacket and ced it on the bed, then grabbed a clean set of clothes to shower.


    She noticed that there was one more potted nt among the potted nts by her bedside.


    This one was a red flower that brought about a faint fragrance.


    Qin Ran paused and stood by her bedside, looking at that flower. She stroked the petals and smiled, before taking her towel and going to the bathroom.


    It was past four in the afternoon when Qin Ran was done showering. She decided to go to ss right away.


    Shed nned to go to the ss straight after getting off the car, but Cheng Juan suggested that she showered and change up first.


    She wasnt too lucky.


    When she reached her ssroom, they had not ended the secondst ss of the day.


    And it happened to be Li Airongs English ss.


    Qin Ran wasnt in her uniform. She was wearing a t-shirt on the inside and a checkered nnel on the outside. Shed just showered, so she left the nnel unbuttoned. Her hair was also rather messy as she hadnt had the time tob it.


    She stood at the door and raised her hand. Reporting.


    Li Airong was rather patronizing when she taught in the Ninth ss.


    The students werent quite attentive, and upon hearing another voice, they turned towards the door.


    Qin Ran is back, someone said in surprise.


    Some discussions began going about in the ss.


    Their voices drowned out Li Airongs.


    Li Airong mmed a book onto the table.


    She had always been especially annoyed at Qin Ran. Qin Yu, the ace of her ss, had deferred her school term because of Qin Ran.


    As such, Li Airong was biased against Qin Ran. Seeing that it was her at the door, Li Airong lost her cool. Qin Ran! You again! Stand outside and donte in!


    Qin Ran was a little stunned.


    She had not managed to let Gao Yang know when she left school. She only gave him a call when He Chen arrived.


    But she did not bother saying more to Li Airong. She simply turned away with her hands in her pocket. She wasnt really intending to attend her lesson anyway.


    Teacher. Qiao Sheng raised his hand from thest row of the ssroom. Qin Ran applied for leave before she left. She didnt break any rules or have any disciplinary issues, it isnt nice to leave her standing outside like that.


    The moment he said that the other guys began chiming in.


    Qin Ran was pretty popr in her ss.


    The others backed Qiao Sheng up. Thats right, Teacher. Qin Ran didnt do anything wrong. Let her in, its really cold and windy outside.


    The students of the Ninth ss were mostly those whom other teachers didnt want or didnt like. The teachers simply pushed them all to Gao Yang. Besides Xu Yaoguang, there wasnt another good student in the ss.


    Li Airong was extremely upset at the ss. Seeing that they were going against her, she said sarcastically, Why, do all of you want to stand outside with her? Anyway, it wouldnt make a difference whether youre in ss for the lesson.


    The voices quietened.


    Screech


    Qiao Sheng dragged his chair and walked towards the door.


    He did not bring his English textbook or papers and only took his cell phone with him.


    With him taking the lead, a few other students in the back row, who were unhappy with Li Airong, got up as well and headed for the door.


    Anyway, those in the back row were the rather yful ones.


    Li Airong red at them. Everyone who gets out of my ss today, stay out of my lessons for the rest of the year.


    Initially, the other students werent thinking of acting on it. But after hearing herst statement


    Lin Siran nced at Li Airong and put her book down. She got up and said, Reporting, I want to go out too!


    With that, she walked out the door.


    Reporting


    Reporting


    One after another.


    It was cloudy and rainy outside. Qin Ran was sitting in the hallway, not bothering much about what had happened.


    Then, she saw her ssmatesing out one by one.


    She couldnt help but close her eyes for a bit and sigh.


    They must have lost their minds.


    **


    It wouldnt be a big deal if it was just Qiao Sheng, Qin Ran, and a few others. But a good half of the ss was in the hallway now. Things werent so simple anymore.


    Li Airong was fuming. Fine, since your ss is so united and so smart, I wont be able to teach you either. I think you people dont need me!


    She tossed her books aside and went to the staff room to look for Gao Yang.


    It was a huge ruckus over at the Ninth ss, and a few other teachers hade out to take a look.


    Gao Yang arrived very quickly. He pushed his sses against his nose bridge and said seriously, Ms. Li, talk things out calmly. Dont pit yourself against these students. Theyre all already in Year Three, your doing would affect their examinations and their future.


    Moreover, Qin Rans grandma was in an emergency situation. Shed already notified me in the afternoon. It isnt her fault.


    Li Airong was a very ambitious person, and she looked down on most of the Ninth ss students. Future? What kind of future can your ss have?


    Her gazended on Qin Ran as she scoffed. Mr. Gao, wont you just look at your ss? What future?


    Ms. Li, please dont be rash. Li Airong was the best English teacher in First Middle School. Upon hearing that, a few teachers tried to advise her.


    Li Airong did not like to be told what to do. She immediately got the director here.


    She did not want to continue taking Ninth ss.


    In fact, she was already upset when Principal Xu got her to take Qin Ran in. But it was only after Gao Yang took her into his ss did she remember that she taught his ss English.


    **


    The director came quickly.


    Li Airong was one of the important teachers in school. The director was caught in a fix of whether to let her change sses.


    There were few English teachers in First Middle School and even fewer for Year Three students.


    There were 19 sses in Year Three and only 10 teachers to go around.


    The director looked at Mr. Li, who was a bespectacled man.


    Qin Ran was more well known in the school than Xu Yaoguang. This Mr. Li had heard of Li Airongs teaching skills as well.


    If Li Airong couldnt help the ss, he didnt think he could either.


    He wasnt one of the best teachers, but he didnt want to end up bing the worst after seeing their students results.


    If this was the First ss, other teachers would be fighting for them too.


    Mr. Gao, Im sorry. I already have two sses on hand now. Mr. Li looked at Gao Yang apologetically.


    Gao Yang looked for a few more English teachers, but none of them agreed to it.


    Eventually, only Ms. Chen agreed.


    Ms. Chen was even younger than Li Airong. She was only 28.


    The other teachers did not express much, but they thought of Ms. Chen as a young idealist who didnt know the real world yet.


    Li Airong was very relieved to be rid of the Ninth ss.


    But seeing Qin Rans expression at thest moment, she felt a little unsettled, as if shed missed something out.


    However, she brushed that thought off quickly.


    Shed seen Qin Rans file very clearly. Shed taken a year off school, and there couldnt have been much she remembered.


    Moreover, before that one year of leave, her results were already terrible.


    **


    Ninth ss.


    Qin Ran was still quiet.


    Qiao Sheng made a few jokes, but Qin Ran was expressionless as usual. He turned away and walked back to his seat instead.


    The next period was self-revision. Everyone just buried their heads in the books to study.


    Not a single person said anything.


    Qin Ran was usually sleeping with her earphones on or reading a novel.


    But this time, it was all quiet during the lesson. Lin Siran turned around to Qin Ran. Ran Ran, you


    Qin Ran turned around and smiledzily, as usual. Im studying.


    Lin Siran was confused.


    Qin Ran leaned back and looked at the script in her hands. Without looking up, she said, Ive decided to make use of this examination to shove it in Li Airongs face.
