Chapter 1246: The Business World
Principal Qu lowered his posture, clearly showing he wouldn’t argue with Hong Jiang, the barbarian, especially with others watching him like the host Yang Zhi, Niu Houdao, and others. Hence, Hong Jiang returned to his seat, picked up his teacup, and drank his tea.
The atmosphere revived.
Moreover, those who used the restroom as an excuse to leave returned and, following signals from the Military Academy’s Principal Yang Zhi, intentionally shuffled the seating arrangement to separate Hong Jiang and Qu Hongqiang.
With some distance in between them, one side intended to keep peace, and the other didn’t deliberately cause trouble again, allowing the tea room’s mood to gradually recover.
Representatives from various universities drank tea, sipped wine, watched students compete, and commented on their performances.
...
Everything seemed to return to its original track, with Principal Qu becoming increasingly silent, while Hong Jiang, as usual, was lively in the hustle and bustle of eating and drinking.
Niu Houdao elbowed Hong Jiang, lowered his voice, and asked, "Hey, Old Hong, why did you think about provoking Old Qu today?"
Hong Jiang paused slightly with his teacup, his smile remained, his face still showing that reckless look, saying, "I’ve been annoyed with him for a while."
Niu Houdao: "..."
You’re annoyed, so you provoke him?
Niu Houdao held back his breath and said, "I’ve been annoyed with you for a long time."
