Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!-Chapter 267: A Comedy of Errors

Yang Xing and his friends, having enjoyed their fill of the spectacle, returned to the cafeteria for a meal and casually bought some snacks from the store.

As they were planning to head to the vice principal’s office to watch the commotion, they saw Li Hongsheng hurrying toward the office building. Yang Xing raised the iced tea in his hand with a smile and said, "Director Li, just bought this cold tea, how about cooling off a bit?"

"Brat." Li Hongsheng swore under his breath without any good cheer and took it from his hand. A sip did indeed help to cool his rage substantially.

Watching his retreating figure, Yang Xing mused, "Sister Yue, do you think this He Qian guy could be a teacher from Beijing No.1 High School?"

Yun Yue, hands in her pockets and scuffing her feet nonchalantly, raised her delicate eyebrows, "He is, for sure."

They looked at her. So certain in her tone?

Then why would two teachers come at the same time?

He Qian sat on the sofa in the office, having already drunk four cups of tea, yet still hadn’t seen anyone in charge come back, impatience beginning to show in his eyes.

Just as he was about to call that person, the office door opened and Li Hongsheng walked in, inexplicably radiating anger.

Xiao Ye and Deng Yongbing exchanged a look without a word, realizing such a meal gathering might never happen again; everyone would be annoyed to be suddenly called back to deal with issues.

Li Hongsheng looked at him as an equal, "You’re a teacher from Beijing No.1 High School?"

He Qian’s brow furrowed, "I am. And who might you be?"

Li Hongsheng scoffed inwardly, "I’m the Dean of Studies at First Middle School."

He Qian felt somewhat displeased, all this time waiting and only one host came to greet him?

"So you’re teacher He Qian, right? Do you have any proof that you’re a teacher from Beijing No.1 High School?" Li Hongsheng scrutinized him subtly.

He Qian’s face darkened, "If I say I am, then I am. What, do you think I’d lie to you? Is this the attitude you show to someone you invited over?"

Li Hongsheng was almost amused by anger, "Sorry, but Lancheng High School didn’t invite you."

With a Professor He Lv, why would they need to invite another relatively unknown teacher to give lectures?

He Qian’s face grew increasingly dark and ugly, "What are you trying to say—that I’m imposing myself to teach at your Lancheng High School?"

"Isn’t it just that Lancheng High School produced a national top scholar, and that’s all in the past too. In the past few years, whether it’s the national top scholar or second, third, or fourth... has any been from your Lancheng High School?"

"If it weren’t for someone coming over time and again to beg me, I wouldn’t have agreed to come teach at Lancheng High School."

But Li Hongsheng, as the Dean of Studies, was no less imposing, adopting the same demeanor he used for disciplining others, "Who’s bringing up the past years? If you have the ability, let your Beijing No.1 High School take the top national scholar spot again this year, or even second, third, or fourth—let’s see it!"

The students of Class 7, eavesdropping from outside the window, widened their eyes in excitement.

They hadn’t realized Director Li could be so tough. He spoke with such a commanding presence; it was unexpectedly likable.

Li Hongsheng couldn’t hide the pride and satisfaction in his eyes. Finally, he had a moment to shine. With Yun Yue, Gu Yue and Lin Xuanze here, Lancheng High School’s students were bound to nab the top national ranks!

He Qian’s face nearly turned green with anger; he couldn’t believe that Li had the audacity to make such a bold statement.

"Also, who asked you to come teach at First Middle School? Go find that person!" Li Hongsheng snorted.

Shen Family had invited Professor He Lv, and here this man was claiming he was begged to come. An obscure teacher wasn’t even as formidable as Yun Yue; they might as well have begged her.

Since ancient times, how many teachers could compare to Yun Yue’s capabilities?

He certainly hadn’t seen it before.

"You... your Lancheng High School is so arrogant! What a big show you put on!" He Qian’s face turned red with anger.

Li Hongsheng glanced at him and said slowly and deliberately, "No matter how big a show we put on, it isn’t as big as yours. Professor He Lv just came by and he didn’t put on such a show. I wonder what position you hold at Beijing No.1 High School, or which professor you are at Jing University, or perhaps which wealthy family you’re affiliated with in Beijing?"

He Qian’s face flushed even redder, his body trembling slightly, obviously very angry.

He Lv was at Lancheng High School?

That’s impossible!

Even if he left Beijing No.1 High School, he’s a math professor at Jing University. How could he possibly come to Lancheng High School to lecture?

"So who invited you?" Li Hongsheng, having spoken for quite a while, was thirsty and drank all the ice-cold tea Yang Xing had given him, feeling utterly refreshed.

He Qian’s face looked extremely unpleasant, "Shen Jiping!"

If it weren’t for the fact that his daughter, Shen Xuan, was the disciple of the vice president of the Piano Association, and his son, Shen Jin Hao, was also doing well in Lan City, how could he possibly condescend to come to Lancheng High School? It was bad enough that he wasn’t treated with adulation, let alone having to endure such anger for nothing.

Three words came out, causing the expressions of the three people present to turn odd.

Shen Jiping had clearly asked for Professor He Lv, so when did it become him?

His voice was quite loud, and since the windows of the office were not closed tightly, their conversation was overheard by the students outside.

Especially the students of class seven, who surrounded the windows tightly, with a row of class seven students standing in the front.

"Shen Jiping? Isn’t that Shen Xuan’s father?"

"So it’s this guy named He Qian that Shen Jiping invited, not Professor He Lv? Am I right in guessing this?" Rong Li turned her head to look at the people from class seven.

Yang Xing stroked his chin, "That makes sense. I was wondering how it could be that two teachers from Beijing No.1 High School had come. So, it’s this obscure He Qian who was invited by Shen Jiping, yet the Shen Family has the audacity to claim that they invited Professor He Lv?"

Wang Ning laughed so hard his stomach hurt, "Turns out it’s a huge misunderstanding after all! The key is, how could they even admit it with a straight face?"

But then again, given the Shen Family’s and Shen Xuan’s vanity, having such a headline over their heads was all for fame. How face-saving it would be to talk about it!

If they were there, they would really like to see how rich their expressions would be.

"Speaking of which, the Shen Family must be dining with Professor He right now; I’ve never seen a family with such thick skin!" Rong Li was just short of clapping her hands in delight.

She had said that the Shen Family didn’t have such clout. These days Shen Xuan had been showing off at school, and she wondered if Shen Xuan would still have the face to hang around at school after this news spread.

The school was such a small place and didn’t need their own hype. Word of mouth spreads quickly, and soon the whole school would know.

The vice principal and other school leaders were still dining with Professor He, and here He Qian was already so angry that he was storming off with a dark face.

Before he left, he made a furious phone call to Shen Jiping, and they could feel his anger through the wall.

Li Hongsheng watched him leave without trying to keep him.

With Professor He there, He Qian was superfluous. Besides, his high-and-mighty attitude and the disdain in his words for Lancheng High School made it clear that he wouldn’t be dedicated to teaching the students there. Better to leave.

"Director Li, you’re just going to let him leave? He’s a teacher from Beijing No.1 High School, after all." Deng Yongbing mentally gave him a thumbs up.

Worthy of Director Li, that mouth of his is truly awe-inspiring!
