Chapter 131: School Name
“I’ve got a general understanding of the situation.”
Principal Pu Xueli shook hands with Lu Bai, then turned sideways and gave Chen Li a look.
Chen Li stepped forward, bowed to Lu Bai: “Student Lu Bai, I apologize for my actions and hope you can forgive me.”
His statement was quite sincere, with no flaws to pick at.
To be fair, this Director Chen had always maintained such an arrogant demeanor before, and Lu Bai had known this from the first time he met him.
Not exactly bad, just a somewhat nasty personality that wasn’t very likable.
Being able to reach the director position was probably due to his identity as a Death Fighter.
Lu Bai himself was too lazy to bother with someone like that.
Moreover, the friendly attitude from these school leaders now was mainly because they valued his future, but the problem was that the future hadn’t been realized yet.
If he forcibly sought revenge now, the school might still side with him, but his identity as a victim wouldn’t be so perfect anymore, and it would be a case of the loss outweighing the gain. Continuing to maintain the image of a perfect victim obviously had more benefits.
Hadn’t he immediately received an extra one million after making such a fuss?
Lu Bai smiled and stood up to help Chen Li to his feet.
“Director Chen need not do this. Zu Dian Campus is thriving and vigorous; standing at a new starting point, we should continue and extend together, growing in symbiosis.”
“Well said!”
Vice Principal Guan Yong applauded very obligingly.
With the principal taking the lead, the school personnel present naturally followed suit with great eyesight, and the reception room was immediately filled with cheerful air.
……
By the time he returned home with the Lu siblings, it was already afternoon.
No matter how shocking the event, after half a day of cooling off, one should be numb to it.
Lu Ziyi’s attitude toward Lu Bai remained neither cold nor warm, with no obvious changes, leaving only Lu Qingyan occasionally howling like a spasm.
“Transferred the money to you. Eat something good from now on.”
Lu Bai put down his mobile phone and said to his sister.
He transferred one million to Lu Ziyi so she wouldn’t have to continue working the three-shift rotation at the convenience store.
Probably due to special handling, Zu Dian Campus quickly completed the payment process; Lu Bai had just gotten home, and his account already had two million more.
With this sum of money, his finances were now much more comfortable.
Of course, this money could at most improve the quality of life; buying a house was out of the question.
It wasn’t that housing prices in Yiju City were particularly expensive—hundreds of thousands for a basic one, over a million for a good one, not a high average.
It was just that they already lived in Yiju City, so changing floors wouldn’t mean much.
But if they wanted to move out of Yiju City to the rich district, this amount was far from enough.
After all, Underground City No. 9 could be called inch of land inch of gold, with space being a very precious resource; houses in the rich district might not even be buyable with two more zeros added.
“Big bro, big sis, shall we go out to eat today? With money now, shouldn’t we celebrate properly?”
Lu Qingyan rolled off the sofa and said excitedly.
“Nutcase.”
Lu Ziyi irritably tapped the little brat’s head, then turned to Lu Bai, hesitated for a moment, and said: “But we should indeed celebrate. I’ll go buy groceries.”
……
Watching Lu Ziyi leave, Lu Bai shifted his attention back to his mobile phone.
In fact, besides the notification of the large transfer, his phone screen was crammed with other messages.
Undoubtedly, the news of him ranking first in two consecutive rounds of Deathmatch Duels had, after half a day of fermentation, been known by all factions in Underground City No. 9.
Many factions sent congratulations, and some media wanted to invite him for exclusive interviews.
Even the United Government General Office sent him condolences, and even if drafted in the Secretary-General’s name, this level of attention was quite high.
The value of ranking first in two consecutive rounds was self-evident.
