Chapter 83 Two negatives make a positive
Fu Chen left with a satisfied smile.
He slipped out the back door.
Just as others were pleased to see, even after the final 32 were selected, the students who were "cruelly" eliminated in the first round were not allowed to leave the lecture hall immediately.
They need to sit still in their seats like idiots.
They could not leave until the freshman knowledge competition was completely over.
Is that ridiculous or not?
Fu Chen had no idea which idiot came up with this rule. He was a day student, and his home was several kilometers away from here.
It's already 10 o'clock, and if we don't leave and go home soon, we'll be in trouble.
The problem wasn't because my parents were too strict with me, nor was it because the roads were difficult to walk at night or because I wasn't getting enough sleep...
Rather, it was because of the freshman orientation ceremony that Edwards was unable to cover the several hours of the ceremony...
We went to their house to cook dinner for them, so early in the morning, we started cooking all sorts of delicious dishes in big and small pots.
After cooking, put it in the freezer so that it can be eaten as soon as Fu Chen's parents come home in the evening.
Of course, it would be even better to heat it in a microwave oven, but he wasn't sure if Fu Chen's parents would use such advanced and complex modern technology.
Fu Chen's concern was precisely because he returned late, and all the dishes Edwards had carefully prepared were eaten by his greedy parents.
Then I'd be at a huge loss.
Edwards is an absolutely competent chef, and his culinary skills are widely recognized, perhaps due to his genetics.
Because his father works in this field.
Even when Edwards first met his father, the father was still making pancakes.
There are over 500 students in the entire grade; if even one is missing, it won't be noticed.
Finding an opportunity, Fu Chen said he was going to the restroom and slipped out.
There was a fleeting moment in time.
Fu Chen wanted to use the Soul Replacement Potion he had immediately.
He exchanged his soul for Li Rong's soul.
Then he brutally beat Hassen to a pulp.
That son of a bitch! It's 100% this kind of scum who came up with the competition format. It's a complete mess.
When he walked to the school gate in the dark, two security guards stopped him.
"Wait a minute, isn't today the freshman celebration? Why are you out here first?"
Fu Chen's eyes darted around; he had already thought of a million ways to deal with these two arrogant security guards.
"Well, the teacher told me..."
Wait a minute…
Why do this?
Fu Chen suddenly realized that his goal had always been to become the last in the class or even the first in the whole grade.
Moreover, academic performance is not just about written test scores and exam results; one's overall performance and state of mind during regular school hours are also very important.
That's why he realized he shouldn't be so rule-abiding.
If I behave politely and follow the rules, when will I ever fall to last place?
In an instant, it was as if he had suddenly gained enlightenment.
"Uncle, I am Fu Chen from Class 5 of the first year of high school."
I wasn't planning on going out; I came to find you. Several students fainted during the freshman orientation, and the teachers asked me to find someone to help. The teachers and doctors from the school clinic have all gone over there, and they called me over to ask you to help carry them.
Oh…
Hearing that it was time to work.
The two security guards felt even more pained than if their own parents had been stabbed to death.
As if weighed down by a thousand pounds, I reluctantly and slowly walked towards the lecture hall.
Before they had even disappeared from sight, Fu Chen rushed into the security room, opened the gate, and swaggered out of the school.
By the time the two security guards turned around and realized what was happening, Fu Chen had already mounted his bicycle, which Edwards had meticulously refurbished by hand, and turned to wave mockingly at them.
"Damn it..."
"That bastard!"
Seeing that they couldn't catch up with Fu Chen who was swaying away, the two were both angry and furious.
"What should we do? Should we report this to the academic affairs office immediately?"
One of the tall security guards pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "No way, if he had run away on his own, it wouldn't be our problem at all, but this guy just happened to get lost right under our noses..."
"If we tell the academic affairs office, we'll lose our salaries too, it's not worth it..."
The slightly overweight security guard nodded. "It's better to avoid trouble. Let's just pretend we didn't see anything. Besides, we know this guy's grade, class, and name. Even if we don't tell the academic affairs office, we can deal with him slowly later!"
"Are you an idiot?"
A single word awakened the person from their dream.
After being scolded by the taller security guard, the fat security guard realized: "Indeed, I didn't expect this guy to do something like this just now, which means he definitely wasn't using his real identity and name."
This idiot school actually has such smart students? I'm truly astonished…
The two security guards, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, were completely astonished at this moment.
They both thought they were the smartest and most capable people in the entire Pui Choi Secondary School.
This is not nonsense or self-aggrandizement; it's because neither of them are graduates of Pui Choi Middle School!
They are both legitimate university graduates!
He's a genuine third-tier martial artist!
Because of Pui Choi Secondary School's management and selection internship system, many graduates stay at Pui Choi Secondary School to work as teachers or in logistics, etc.
However, not every graduate chooses to stay at Pui Choi Secondary School.
In addition, the position of security guard is also of paramount importance.
Under these circumstances and conditions…
For other positions with lower skill requirements, such as teachers and department heads, graduates of Pui Choi Middle School will be given these roles.
For security positions that require higher qualifications, a small portion are filled by graduates from our own schools, while the majority are recruited from outside.
This is extremely important.
Since they were hired from outside, it means they weren't graduates of Pui Choi Secondary School. And not being a graduate of Pui Choi Secondary School proves they're not idiots…
Because they weren't idiots, they actually ruined Fu Chen's original plan.
The saying "two negatives make a positive" perfectly describes this situation.
Fu Chen had originally planned to simply provide his name and identity so that they could report him to the academic affairs office for punishment.
Who would have thought…
They weren't idiots; they didn't readily believe Fu Chen's truthful account, nor did they foolishly report the matter to the academic affairs office immediately.
The ranking criteria for each individual are generally determined and defined uniformly by the Academic Affairs Office.
In other words, the fact that what Fu Chen was doing did not reach the Academic Affairs Office proves that he is safe and sound and nothing has happened.
Even without anything happening, Fu Chen was already cursing his parents...
Fu Chen, completely unaware of this matter, was secretly pleased with himself, thinking that this was enough to make the Academic Affairs Office examine his overall situation and ranking.
In addition, he made two preparations.
He had already informed some of his classmates about his departure.
Even if those two security guards hadn't told the academic affairs office about him sneaking out of school...
In time, Wang Aiguo and his group of teachers will also find out.
When the time comes, you can just ask your classmates and they'll know everything.
Fu Chen returned home feeling wonderful...
They are still able to snatch food from the mouths of their parents, who are also hyenas.
I still have to thank Edwards properly. He cooked so much food this morning. People really need to be encouraged, otherwise they will never know what their real goals are or where they are.
They'll just drift along, becoming useless people who contribute nothing.
He was already asleep by 11:30.
Meanwhile, the group of students who are still suffering from the torment of knowledge competitions are having a headache.
Just like his mother standing still until the very end.
The process of advancing from the top 32 to the top 16 is not yet over.
Everyone wants to deliberately make a mistake so they can be eliminated and quickly end this ridiculously stupid farce.
But the result was that they deliberately chose what they thought was the wrong answer, and then it turned out to be the right one.
Thus, everyone is in this situation, and they can only wear each other down, competing to see who has done less wrong.
In this regard.
Everyone felt like they were going through a lot of suffering.
Except for Li Rong.
He simply applied his previous coaching experience here.
In the schools he used to lead, all the students valued these kinds of competitions and honors very much, and they were always excited and thrilled, as if they had been injected with adrenaline.
However, unlike before, the learning atmosphere here has completely changed.
It's not just about the learning environment, but more about the change in people.
The people here aren't normal, no...
Those people that Li Rong led before didn't seem to be normal people either.
Who would enjoy a competition that has no value whatsoever?
Therefore, apart from Li Rong, almost everyone hated this time-wasting farce.
Li Rong, on the other hand, believes that he has stood with all the students in this knowledge competition, and has successfully inspired them spiritually.
They became smarter and more rational, and achieved amazing results.
Unfortunately, that's not actually the case.
People were dozing off down there, and over time, most of them have developed the ability to sleep with their eyes open.
Wang Aiguo paced back and forth, bored. He wanted to play on his phone, but Li Rong, that bastard, had added a series of new rules and regulations to the student code of conduct and school regulations since taking office.
Many restrictions were imposed on these "diligent" teachers, many of whom believed that there were no necessary restrictions at all.
For example, you are not allowed to use your mobile phone during working hours. If you are caught using your mobile phone by the academic affairs office or the principal, 30% of your salary will be deducted.
Not allowing them to play on their phones is tantamount to killing their parents.
In the two days since this regulation was released, it has completely baffled and annoyed almost all faculty and staff.
It completely broke through my defenses.
Fu Chen also broke down.
Because teachers aren't allowed to use their phones, he could no longer sneak peeks at Wang Aiguo's adult film website, which was updated almost every few days, during class.
Suddenly, so much of the joy in life was lost.
Reality is too cold.
Wang Aiguo is known for his exceptional attention and observation skills. He noticed something was wrong only after Fu Chen's seat had been empty for nearly an hour and a half.
He checked the class roster of Class 5, Grade 11, over and over again about a dozen times before finally determining who the empty seat belonged to.
It's that bastard Fu Chen.
For Wang Aiguo, his assessment of Li Rong was the same.
Fu Chen can even get these quiz questions wrong?
Is it that the other party truly lacks ability, or is this also due to the master's...?
Wait, no, it's a system task?
Anyway, he felt he needed to reconsider whether he had been giving Fu Chen too much attention all along, which had made him too carefree.
Where did Fu Chen go?
Wang Aiguo was the first to inquire about Yao Zhi'ai.
In Fu Chen's eyes, he thought that Yao Zhi'ai and he had a pretty good relationship. They were the kind of people who would point fingers at each other in any situation, but would abandon each other when disaster struck.
However, surprisingly, Yao Zhi'ai, who was somewhat cunning, did not immediately condemn or accuse Fu Chen.
Deep within her mind, memories surfaced of Fu Chen listening to her troubles, offering her somewhat unusual advice, and helping her every time…
"His stomach hurt, so he went to the toilet."
"But why is this seat always empty?"
Yao Zhi'ai explained, "He went several times."
"But why is this seat always empty?"
Yao Zhi'ai: "..."
"I have a question, teacher."
Wang Aiguo: "You go ahead."
Yao Zhi'ai: "Why are these seats always occupied?"
Yes…
Fu Chen's seat was empty, and he asked why, but the other seats were occupied, so why didn't he ask why?
"Then why is your seat occupied?"
Yao Zhi'ai replied, "Because I was sitting in my seat."
"Then why is Fu Chen's seat empty?"
"Because he wasn't in his seat."
Yup!
The seat is empty because Fu Chen didn't sit down!
Why do I need a little girl who hasn't even grown up yet to tell me such a simple truth?
Wang Aiguo snorted irritably and then left Fu Chen's empty seat.
After a while, he came back.
He can never seem to get things right, no matter how he tries.
So I asked the family member next to me.
Why is Fu Chen's seat empty?
Quan Jiafei squatted on his seat, biting his fingers, looking at Wang Aiguo, then got up and sat in Fu Chen's seat.
"Fu Chen's seat is no longer empty."
Wang Aiguo then asked, "Why are the seats for the whole family's flight empty?"
Then the whole family put one foot back on their original seat.
Now the empty seats were gone. Wang Aiguo nodded silently, but something still felt off…
