"It was those three rich kids from Peng City who stepped in; I even got beaten by them, and there's one called Ye Hao..."
Zhang Yue hesitated as he ntioned Lu Yunsong and the others, afraid that Director Zhou would dig deeper. But considering his position as the principal, he couldn't help but seek Director Zhou's understanding, hoping not to be blad.
"Humph, so what if they stepped in? As a principal, can't you handle three young punks?"
Director Zhou snorted, thinking about the intimidating background of Lu Yunsong and the others. He could only gripe, "Alright, you're not to bla for this incident. Don't get involved with Xia Zhu; I'll tell you if there's good news, but keep yourself clean, so the Commission doesn't investigate when I finally give you a good position."
"Yes, yes, thank you, Director Zhou, thank you!" Zhang Yue was excited! Although the situation wasn't handled well, Director Zhou didn't seem angry, and perhaps there's still a chance to advance. Just thinking of the principal's position made Zhang Yue excited.
But then he thought of Ye Hao and beca worried again. With soone holding onto his weak spot, what can he do next? If his flaw continues to be held against him, no matter how high he climbs, it will be like sitting on pins and needles, causing him a headache.
Deep in thought, Zhang Yue was finally overtaken by madness and dialed the number of a fiery woman he knew from his past...
In the classroom, Xia Zhu looked at Ye Hao with gratitude, feeling very happy. She initially thought she might really have to leave this high school and end her teaching career, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better; not only didn't she get dismissed, but the vice principal also apologized to her in front of the whole school.
Although she didn't know what tactics Ye Hao and Xue Zhaolong had used, she thought the vice principal wasn't a good character anyway, and Ye Hao and the others could do whatever they wanted.
"Thank you, Ye Hao," Xia Zhu said softly.
"Ah, no need to be formal. Don't forget what your mother said," Ye Hao joked to lighten the mood.
Xia Zhu blushed and nodded, feeling a hint of joy, thinking the distance between her and Ye Hao seed much closer now.
In the next few classes, other teachers hesitated to step in as they didn't know what had happened, leaving Xia Zhu to oversee the class. During the second period, Ye Hao moved to sit next to Ding Haoyun, and the deskmate tactfully moved to an empty seat behind.
Although he didn't know what Ye Hao wanted with Ding Haoyun, he thought that soone as mysterious as Ye Hao surely had his reasons.
Ding Haoyun looked at Ye Hao sitting beside him with a slight dodge in his eyes but still managed a smile. Ye Hao smiled back at him, with a smile that was sowhat intriguing.
Ye Hao just sat there quietly looking at him for a few minutes, making Ding Haoyun increasingly uneasy, fearing that Ye Hao might know he had tampered with Ye Hao's sports car brake system.
After another minute, Ding Haoyun couldn't sit still, turned his head to look at Ye Hao, and asked, "Do you need anything from ?"
Ye Hao nodded with a smile and said, "I think the teacher wouldn't mind if we went to the playground for a chat; it's a bit inconvenient here."
Ding Haoyun's eyes darted around again, feeling increasingly anxious.
"Teacher, I'm feeling unwell. Can I ask Ding Haoyun to accompany outside for a bit?" Ye Hao spoke to Xia Zhu without leaving room for negotiation.
Hearing this, Xia Zhu thought sothing might have happened to Ye Hao and quickly ca over to ask, "Where do you feel unwell?" Xia Zhu's concern went beyond normal teacher-student care, prompting classmates to cast them ambiguous glances.
"It's nothing, teacher. You know , right? How can there be anything wrong? Just wanted to go out with Ding Haoyun; been sitting too much lately," Ye Hao hinted with a look and said with a smile.
Xia Zhu contemplated for a mont, nodding, though she didn't know Ye Hao's intention, she trusted that he wouldn't do anything to harm classmates.
This wasn't blind trust in Ye Hao, but Xia Zhu truly understood that Ye Hao wouldn't do such things.
Ye Hao turned to Ding Haoyun with a smile, "Ding, I'm counting on you."
Even though Ding Haoyun was wary of Ye Hao, at this point, he could only follow him out. If Ding Haoyun couldn't realize Ye Hao already knew he had tampered with the brakes, he wouldn't have such a clever mind to crack the brake system of an international Lamborghini sports car.
Upon reaching the playground, Ye Hao didn't speak imdiately but smiled at Ding Haoyun, wanting to give him a chance. If he didn't wake up to reality, then he definitely doesn't understand the situation.
Silence unfolded for a while before Ding Haoyun apologized, "I'm sorry."
Ye Hao smiled and asked, "Why apologize?"
"I ssed with your car, but fortunately, nothing happened to you," Ding Haoyun finally confessed openly, knowing that such actions would soday need reparation.
"Why did you ss with it?" Ye Hao wanted to understand his motives.
"Because I'm short of money, I need money, but I can't let my classmates look down on ," Ding Haoyun's eyes brewed with a hint of mist, ready to fall at any mont.
"Why don't you tell your classmates you're short of money, is it embarrassing?" Ye Hao said displeased.
"Yes, it's embarrassing, because I can't compete with them, they're all rich kids, and I'm just from an ordinary family. I entered this school just to give my mother so comfort, even if one day she truly leaves this world, she can leave with a smile. But I don't want her to leave, I need to make money, let her receive treatnt in the hospital." Ding Haoyun's voice caught as he spoke.
"You have your reasons, which I can't understand, but I want to ask you, is your pride more important or soone's life?" Ye Hao realized he was a dutiful son, but unfortunately his family was troubled, with his mother possibly ill and the family lacking money, and he forced his way into this school for the rich so his mother could at least leave this world with so comfort.
But what angered Ye Hao was that, for his own pride, Ding Haoyun was willing to let Ye Hao race against others, risking losing and even risking his own life...
"I'm sorry... sob..." Ding Haoyun knew he had made mistakes, knew he was too extre in his actions a few days ago. But at that ti, the family phone call ca, urging him for dical expenses, he could only walk a tightrope in desperation.
He secretly contacted Rize, who was racing against Ye Hao.
Back then Rize just saw him as a clown, but promised that if Ding Haoyun could really cause Ye Hao's car brakes to fail, he would give him a hundred thousand.
At that ti, Ding Haoyun agreed, but that day, for so unknown reason, Ye Hao's car was still fine, so not only did he not receive the hundred thousand, he was threatened by Rize.
Fortunately, he was using other people's zombie computers to contact Rize, otherwise he wouldn't know what kind of torture he would face from Rize.
"How did you learn your computer skills?" Ye Hao saw his sincere apology and didn't plan to pursue it further, instead asking how he acquired his skills.
"When I was young, I discovered I had a gift for computers, I could perfectly rember any word on the computer screen, later I learned from others, wrote programs, coded. Anything computer-related, once I learned it, I could do it too. Initially, I could use my skills to hack the backend of gas others developed, but over ti, my online identity and thods were also figured out, those bosses hired hackers to attack , and whenever I appeared online, many hackers would attack my system, even trying to locate . I was forced to use a portable iPad, at least this way, even if they tracked down the zombie computer IP, they couldn't find where I was." Ding Haoyun explained simply.
"Do you an you used to be a hacker and often hacked into others' ga platforms?" Ye Hao was a bit shocked; this kid could really do it.
"Not that powerful, only occasionally when the staff isn't on the backend, would I opportunistically get so premium equipnt myself, and then sell it." Ding Haoyun wiped away his tears.
Ye Hao handed him a cigarette, after lighting it, asked, "With such computer skills, why didn't you find a part-ti job at night?"
Ding Haoyun fell silent for a mont, his eyes flooding with tears again...
"My mom... I need to take care of her." When Ding Haoyun said this, he held back his sobs, and spoke the words with difficulty.
Ye Hao felt his heart ache too, this kid was indeed ruthless in his actions, but it was his family's situation that forced him onto this risky path.
"Sigh, you're a dutiful son, I forgive you. How much money does your mother need, what's her illness, I can give it to you." Ye Hao shook his head, no longer pursuing the foolish things Ding Haoyun did, as he knew how to repent. Presumably, once his mother recovered, he would also change his mindset!
"No, I can't take your money." Ding Haoyun felt guilty and dared not take Ye Hao's money.
"Haha, why not?" Ye Hao laughed.
"My mom said, no gain, no pay. Moreover, I've done things that wronged you."
"Don't you want your mom to continue living?" Ye Hao knew that only by speaking to his heart would soone stubborn like this be persuaded.
"I want..."
"Alright, wanting is enough. You said no gain, no pay, then would you like to follow in the future, be my employee, this way it'll be like the boss advancing so money for the employee, wouldn't that count as no gain, no pay?" Ye Hao laughed.
"You... you're saying you want to hire as an employee? But I know nothing." Ding Haoyun thought the job Ye Hao referred to was in a factory, he's never worked in a factory before, indeed didn't know how factory work was done.
"Haha, your expertise is the future mainstream, don't underestimate yourself. Besides, I have so very important computer data, I can't give it to strangers, or people with no skills, so are you willing to follow ?" Ye Hao asked sincerely.
"Boss..." Ding Haoyun imdiately called him Boss, just like Lu Yunsong and the others.
In his view, perhaps Ye Hao was just comforting him, but thinking of his mother's hard work in raising him, he didn't want to miss any chance to treat her.
"Haha, my Heaven-Filling Heroic Spirit's computer genius can maybe get Heaven-Filling Heroic Spirit back on the right track quickly." Ye Hao laughed heartily. (To be continued.
