"Brother Long, I heard that Tang Rou was studying with a guy last night."
"Who?"
"Lin Feng."
"Lin Feng? That damn Lin Feng again? Goddammit, didn't he learn his lesson last time I warned him? Fine, this time I'm going to teach him a proper lesson!"
In the morning, at the entrance of Jiangzhou High School No. 1, Meng Zelong and his two sidekicks, Chen Dafei and Zhang Dafei, were having breakfast at a steamed bun shop. When Chen Liang informed Meng Zelong about Lin Feng studying with Tang Rou the previous night, Meng Zelong's face turned livid.
Everyone in Jiangzhou High School No. 1 knew that Meng Zelong was pursuing Tang Rou. And here was Lin Feng, daring to cross him even after being warned once. Was he asking for a bullet?
"Brother Long, aren't you supposed to visit Jiangzhou High School No. 2 today?" Zhang Dafei reminded him from the side.
"Oh, I almost forgot about that. But if I don't deal with that Lin Feng guy soon, I won't be able to stomach it!" Meng Zelong said viciously, shoving a youtiao into his mouth.
"Brother Long, don't worry. Leave Lin Feng to me and Zhang Dafei. You can just go to Jiangzhou No. 2. It won't take more than a few minutes to deal with Lin Feng," Chen Liang, who was nearby, spoke up.
Chen Liang was around 1.75 meters tall, with a sturdy build and sallow, oily skin. His pitted face and large, shifty eyes made him look like he was born to star in horror movies.
Hence, relying on these 'God-given' physical advantages, Chen Liang was virtually unstoppable when it came to fighting or intimidating others, effortlessly overwhelming his opponents. The timid, introverted, and nerdy guys at school would instinctively give him a wide berth.
With this kind of confidence, Chen Liang didn't take Lin Feng seriously at all.
Upon hearing these words, Meng Zelong looked at Chen Liang approvingly. Having competent enforcers indeed made life as a boss much easier.
He stood up at once to pay the bill, saying, "Alright, I'll head to No. 2 High School now. I'll leave Lin Feng to the two of you. Remember, go hard on him. Beat him until he cries for his mommy and give him a lesson he'll never forget! Also, warn him that if he ever appears with Tang Rou again, I'll have one of his legs broken, so he'll need a crutch for the rest of his life!"
Seeing Meng Zelong acting so tough, Chen Liang immediately agreed, "Rest assured, Brother Long. I guarantee that whenever he sees you in the future, he'll call you master."
Zhang Dafei, however, looked worried. "Brother Long, what if Lin Feng reports it to the Dean's Office?"
Meng Zelong instantly gave Zhang Dafei a hard kick in the butt, cursing, "Damn it! You've been with me for so long, and you still don't get it? Zhang Lieke, the dean, is my man. I've treated him to dinner before, and my dad helped him out once too. Hmph, if Lin Feng dares to report this to the Dean's Office, I bet he'll suffer an even worse fate."
"Alright, I'm leaving Lin Feng to you two. I'm off to No. 2 High School now. When I come back at noon, I don't want to see Lin Feng bouncing around all lively and kicking. Don't worry, after you deal with Lin Feng, we'll go celebrate at the Deluxe Hotel tonight."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Long!" Chen Liang clenched his fists, and he and Zhang Dafei chimed in unison.
「...」
Ever since Lin Feng scored 125 on his English test, he suddenly found that his classmates' attitude towards him had changed considerably. Even the subject teachers and his homeroom teacher stopped looking down on him.
One's capabilities determine their position, and this applies everywhere. It's not that his classmates and teachers were fickle; Lin Feng also knew that this is just how society works—only capable people earn the respect of others.
On Monday morning, the test papers for all subjects were handed out.
"Boss, your Chinese test paper... Damn, you... you scored 112 in Chinese?!"
When Yang Tao passed the test paper to Lin Feng and saw the score, he was quite shocked. A score of 112 wasn't considered good in the class; it was only rated as below average. But for Lin Feng to get this score, that was a different story.
As Lin Feng's deskmate, Yang Tao knew his academic record best. Lin Feng's Chinese scores had always hovered around the passing mark of 90 out of 150 and had almost never surpassed 100.
But this time, he had directly scored 112! The change was so abrupt that Yang Tao could barely process it.
"I only scored 120 this time. Boss, it looks like you're really on the rise!" Yang Tao exclaimed, looking at Lin Feng's test paper with admiration.
"Of course. Otherwise, how could I be your Boss?" Lin Feng said triumphantly, snatching the paper. He had expected this score. He had never been fond of Chinese; he estimated that he could only score between 110 and 120. Luckily, this score was somewhat acceptable.
"Okay, it seems I underestimated you. But still, this doesn't make sense..."
As Yang Tao muttered and sat back down, his eyes caught sight of the other two test papers on Lin Feng's desk. His mouth fell open in an "O" shape, and he couldn't close it.
On the top test paper on Lin Feng's desk, a large score was written in red ink—228!
That was the Humanities comprehensive test paper for this monthly exam...
Yang Tao's open mouth slowly closed. His throat felt a bit dry. He swallowed and murmured, "Humanities... 228... Damn, Boss must be on something! This is insane!"
This time, Lin Feng's Humanities score had even surpassed Yang Tao's 221, which came as a huge shock to Yang Tao.
Yang Tao was, of course, very happy that Lin Feng was doing well. However, this transformation in Lin Feng's performance was too drastic for him to adjust to; it almost gave him a heart attack!
At the same time, Yang Tao noticed the math test paper underneath the Humanities one. After seeing the "31" on the math paper, Yang Tao finally managed to calm his racing heart.
31. That was a typical score for Lin Feng.
Yang Tao leaned back in his chair, letting out a soft sigh of relief. Boss got 125 in English, 228 in Humanities, 112 in Chinese, and 31 in Math. His total score is close to 500 now! If he keeps this up until the college entrance exams, he has a good shot at a Tier 2 or Tier 3 university.
"Lin Feng, can I borrow your Humanities test paper? I want to compare my answers for the essay questions..." While Yang Tao was lost in thought, Yang Jing, the girl sitting in front of him, turned around and borrowed Lin Feng's Humanities paper.
With the Humanities paper gone, Lin Feng's math paper was completely exposed to Yang Tao.
When Yang Tao saw the conspicuous score, he froze in his seat as if petrified, almost forgetting to breathe!
It wasn't 31, but—
131!
"Damn! Boss, are you trying to give me a heart attack?!" Yang Tao exclaimed. Then, he stood up, picked up the math test paper, and looked at Lin Feng with a face full of reverence.
