Chapter 47: Who is "Qin Lang"?

  There is no doubt that this slap in the face for Liu Taohua came from her husband Zhang Zhiqiang.

  "Shut your stinking mouth."

  Zhang Zhiqiang pointed at Liu Taohua, his entire face flushed red with anger, shame, fear, or perhaps something else, only he himself knew. If it weren't for the many years of marriage, he really wanted to take a needle and thread to sew this good-for-nothing wife's mouth shut.

  I was really blind back then, how did I end up marrying such a spendthrift wife! Zhang Zhiqiang lamented in his heart. The night before last, he also casually mentioned Qin Lang's affairs to his wife, originally wanting to ask if his wife knew about this talented student at school.

  But because he often misunderstood the leader's intention during the day and made a lot of jokes, so he didn't elaborate on the situation and didn't clarify who called Qin Lang a genius, fearing losing face in front of his wife.

  Ke Zhang didn't expect that because of his momentary ambiguity, this uncooperative woman would scold him as a "blind thing" in front of Director Ma, which is simply seeking death.

  "You dare to hit me, Zhang? I'll fight you to the death!" Liu Taohua reacted faster than Qian Dabing. Without thinking, she rushed towards Zhang Zhiqiang and grabbed his collar, scratching, clawing and scolding him, leaving Zhang Zhiqiang embarrassed and unable to shake her off.

  Liu Taohua's outburst finally woke up Qian Dabing who had been stunned.

  Recalling the slap he had just received from Qin Da in public, Qian Dabing's anger surged to his head, his eyes turned bloodshot. He was already very concerned about saving face, let alone having suffered so much grievance at Qin Lang's hands. At this moment, how could he still endure? His arm lifted, ready to strike Qin Lang.

  But just then a voice boomed like thunder: "Have you had enough? Stop it all at once."

  The voice was not loud, but it carried a natural air of authority, and Director Ma finally emerged with this voice.

  His appearance made the surroundings quiet, and then the onlookers' eyes all gathered on him.

  "Who is this person? I don't recognize him, and it seems like there's no such leader in our school!"

  "I know I've seen this guy before, that day he was surrounded by people, and Zhang Zhiqiang was acting like a yes-man in front of him, as if he were the director of the Education Bureau."

  "My god, even the director is shocked, it seems that Qin Lang, that idiot, this time he's definitely going to die."

  "It was worth skipping class to watch this show. If the prostitute causing trouble at school was a domestic drama, then with the appearance of this director, it's got to be upgraded to a Hollywood blockbuster. It's so exciting, I'm tempted to write down the plot and sell it online."

  After a brief silence, the surroundings began to buzz with discussion.

  Qian Dabing saw Director Ma and was stunned again, even forgetting to put down the hand he had just raised.

  Zhang Zhiqiang's whole body shook, and he roughly pushed away the entwining Liu Taohua, hastily saying: "Director Ma, it's my fault for not being able to control my wife, punish me."

  "You're the principal, I think you're extremely incompetent." Director Ma pointed at Zhang Zhiqiang with his finger and glanced at Liu Taohua, humming heavily.

  Zhang Zhiqiang's face turned pale with cold sweat, and he glared fiercely at Liu Taohua, gritting his teeth and saying: "You've made a scene, are you satisfied now?"

  Liu Taohua was stunned. Although she was saucy, it didn't mean she didn't know her limits. Otherwise, she wouldn't have faced Bai Wumo's slap and only dared to smile and welcome him.

  "Director Ma, you...you are magnanimous, don't blame me old...ah, don't blame Principal Zhang, it's all my fault, I treated the school as my own home." Liu Taohua, who had come to her senses, changed from her previous shrewish demeanor and apologized to Director Ma with a humble expression.

  "How dare I, how dare I? In your eyes, I'm just a 'blind thing', who dares to point out your mistakes." Director Ma said expressionlessly.

  Liu Taohua's eyebrows jumped, and like her husband, cold sweat immediately broke out. She finally understood why her usually tolerant husband would suddenly slap her in the ear. It turned out that the one who called Qin Lang a genius was this Director Ma.

  This time, Liu Taohua was so frightened. She knew that her one sentence had completely offended Director Ma, and it would even affect her husband's future. She was able to act tyrannically in school only by relying on her husband's power; if her husband's future were to be hindered because of this, where could she borrow prestige from in the future?

  Liu Taohua hastily thought of an excuse to smooth things over, but Director Ma had already turned a blind eye to her and walked towards Qian Dabing instead.

  "It's so big here, and there are so many people. I really didn't think I'd see you again. You're raising your hand, are you going to ask a question or hit someone?" Director Ma stood in front of Qian Dabing, staring at his bruised face with a cold smile.

  Qian Dabing woke up with a start, his face as white as a ghost. He hastily put down his hand and stuttered: "Th-th-this... I-I-I..."

  "Director Ma, do you know Teacher Qian?" Zhang Zhiqiang timely came over, after the recent dramatic change, he knew that at this time he had to take out a small heart of 100,000 points, serving this young master, not seeking praise, only seeking to make up for it.

  "Oh, I've met him before, but only now did I know his surname is Qian, and that he's a teacher at your school. A teacher like this, not bad, very good." Director Ma said with a gloomy face, nodding in approval.

  Zhang Zhiqiang misunderstood again, thinking that Director Ma highly appreciated Qian Dabing, and hurriedly said: "Teacher Qian is indeed good, in school the teacher I admire the most is him. Teacher Qian works diligently, has elegant manners, is humble to others, and is deeply loved by colleagues and students."

  "Elegant demeanor, humble attitude?" Director Ma nodded, "Yes, it's a very 'fitting' description, extremely 'fitting'."

  Zhang Zhiqiang was delighted and thought to himself, "This time I finally didn't misread the situation." He quickly made eye contact with Qian Dabing, wanting him to be humble and build a good relationship with Director Lao. Later, he could use this connection to make up for the bad impression he left on Director Lao.

  But unexpectedly, Zhang Zhiqiang took a glance and found that Qian Dabing was trembling all over, his face pale. He couldn't help but wonder what had happened to this Qian teacher. Had he been stunned by the slap just now? Such a good opportunity was right in front of him, yet he didn't know how to seize it. Didn't he know that leaving a good impression on the director would ensure a bright future for himself?

  "Your eyes are good, very good, extremely good." Director Ma suddenly turned his head and said a sentence to Zhang Zhiqiang.

  Zhang Zhiqiang humbly said: "Compared to Director Zhang, my ability to judge people is nothing."

  As soon as he finished speaking, he caught sight of Qin Lang standing beside Qian Dabing and suddenly wanted to slap himself. Damn it, bringing this up at this time isn't like opening a pot that shouldn't be opened, is it mocking Director Ma for not knowing how to judge people? The person he's interested in is actually a low-class loser! How stupid am I?!

  Zhang Zhiqiang hurriedly tried to make amends, but Director Ma had already turned his head back, his eyes fixed on Qin Lang, shaking his head and saying: "Young man, you've disappointed me greatly."

  Qin Lang smiled faintly: "How could a thousand-mile horse disappoint Bo Le?" He took out the business card from his pocket and flashed it, then put it back.

  Director Ma frowned and heard that Qin Lang's words were not simple, and he saw Qin Lang's calm appearance. He began to suspect that today's scandal might not be so simple after all.

  "So you're saying this has nothing to do with you?" Director Ma narrowed his eyes and asked, his heart still leaning towards Qin Lang's side. If someone dared to use the person he favored as a scapegoat, slapping him in the face, then he wouldn't mind showing that being the director of the Education Bureau wasn't just for show.

  "What's irrelevant?" Qin Lang hadn't even had time to open his mouth when Qian Dabing stood up like a frenzied bullfighter.

  Qian Dabing is now a broken jar, anyway, he was caught red-handed by Director Ma today, whether it's good or bad, he can't hide. So, come what may, even if he's unlucky, he can't let Qin Lang get away with it, no matter what, he has to drag this fool down and make him infamous, to avenge the slap he just received, and also to vent the evil air in his heart these past few days.

  "Director Ma, you just saw it too. This student not only has a low character but also refuses to repent. When I tried to reason with him, he actually dared to slap me in the face! A student daring to slap a teacher's face is an extremely vicious behavior." Qian Dabing pointed at the palm print on his face and complained, then suddenly changed the subject: "Director Ma, don't be deceived. The person involved is right here on the scene. You can go ask her about it. Everyone already knows what happened, how can he claim to have nothing to do with it?"

  "Teacher Qian, you can't say that. I think Qin Lang is basically a good kid, maybe he's just young and couldn't resist temptation, made a small mistake. For students who make mistakes, we should give them a chance to correct themselves, can't just dismiss them outright." Zhang Zhiqiang immediately stood up after hearing Qian Dabing's words, on the surface defending Qin Lang, but in reality helping Mayor Ma save face.

  Director Ma's gaze immediately fell on Wang Fengmei.

  Wang Fengmei felt wronged, this was a good show, originally she should have been the protagonist, but now one after another person appeared to grab the spotlight from her, making her unexpectedly excluded, as if nothing to do with her.

  What's even more ridiculous is that at this point, that "Qin Lang" still has the nerve to pretend to be a good guy, grabbing onto some random student and refusing to let go, and even getting others to join in on accusing this random student.

  Are they trying to fool me? How can I still pretend to be a master of acting skills in the future? Wang Fengmei asked herself, can she tolerate this? Absolutely cannot tolerate it!

  "Tell me about it." Director Ma was indeed a leader, facing Wang Fengmei, such a woman, without showing any disgust or contempt.

  Wang Fengmei felt a shiver run down her spine as she met the stern gaze of Director Ma, and the momentum that was about to erupt was suddenly reduced by a notch. She already knew that this was an even bigger leader than Principal Zhang, and for such a leader, she, a woman with no backing and extremely high emotional intelligence, still had some innate fear.

  "This woman won't be intimidated, will she?" Not far away, a group of thin monkeys who were waiting to see the show, seeing Wang Fengmei's performance, suddenly became anxious.

  "I think she was intimidated by the director's aura, no worries, I'll give this chick a hand signal. She took my money and is experienced, she'll know what to do." The duck said to several brothers, then raised his hand and made a gesture towards Wang Fengmei.

  Wang Fengmei received the gesture from the duck and understood that it was telling her not to be afraid, just continue acting. She hesitated for a moment, then suddenly opened her mouth and scolded: "I really don't understand, you people have been chattering here for half a day, but instead of finding the person who owes me money, you're picking on this innocent student? What I'm looking for is 'Qin Lang'..."

  Director Ma was taken aback.

  Zhang Zhiqiang and Liu Taohua were both stunned.

  Everyone around was stunned.

  Qian Dabing reacted the fastest, thinking that this woman was out of her mind, and pointed at Qin Lang, saying: "Isn't this Qin Lang? Who else could you be looking for?"

  "You think you can fool me with this thief-calling-thief nonsense? You think I'm easy to deceive?" Wang Fengmei's acting skills were on point, she flicked her cigarette butt away, twisted her short skirt and strode over to Qian Dabing, grabbing his collar and shouting: "You're the one who owes me money for prostitution! Even if you turn into ashes, I won't be mistaken. Pay back the money, pay it back quickly! You don't even pay for sex, do you have any shame?"
