re, he had never imagined he would be convinced by a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old child and temporarily believe in his theory. It was laughable to think that both a city party secretary and an ambas...Chapter 28: Heaven's No.1
Outside the major organized crime case within the province, Liu Cheng was undergoing a tense and meticulous interrogation that implicated over a hundred provincial and municipal officials. Zhao Lijun, who had made great contributions in this case, was recommended by Song Zaize, the Secretary of the City Committee of Jiacheng, to be nominated as the new police chief of Jiaceng City.
At the same time, according to Su Can's connections with Wang Weiwei and Lin Luoran from Xiaohai City, it seemed that Wang Bo was showing signs of being transferred. He might move up to the provincial committee or be appointed as the vice-mayor of Jiacheng City. In order to cover his crimes during this period, Liu Cheng used his authority multiple times to pressure, threaten, and frame Wang Bo who had evidence against him. The wrongful case against Wang Bo was finally proven to have been caused by Liu Cheng's retaliation. As a result, Wang Bo's influence in the province naturally took a drastic turn.
Those who were originally disappointed with him from the Wang system reinvigorated themselves through this opportunity and could potentially enter the provincial committee covertly. This was something within Su Can's expectations.
Before Wang Bo arrived, to be honest, Su Can felt unsure about his position in Tangcheng. His father, Su Licheng, wasn't making much progress at Datang Construction Group, but if Wang Bo brought a strong boost with him when he came, the magnitude of that push would be tremendous.
Wang Bo had helped Su Can's family multiple times through his connections in Rongcheng. This was evident from the special regard Xu Zheng, the old man from the construction group, showed towards Wang Bo. This aid also stemmed from their shared hardships after the incident at the embassy and when he was isolated for review by the case investigation team—Su Can had played a crucial role then as well. Zhao Lijun and even Wang Bo's wife Zhang Qing were fully aware of this. Wang Bo himself knew what kind of help Su Can provided him.
Su Can realized that his prescience, arriving at this historical moment by chance, was the reason he had gained such benefits. If things went as they did in the past, regardless of Wang Bo's age and Su Can's status, a seasoned veteran like Wang would never feel respect or gratitude towards him. However, life often works in strange ways.
Wang Bo wasn't an ordinary person; after going through so many events, if he still looked down on Su Can based on their age difference or his status as a high school student, then he was truly foolish.
Su Can felt that he hadn't yet convinced Lin Guangdong and planned to give him more time for consideration. Although the report only included feasible analysis plans, he didn't reveal some crucial methods, which was also a precaution against people like Li Jin who were highly unpredictable. Using them properly could bring benefits, but if not handled well, they would become a major drawback.
However, Su Can couldn't give Lin Guangdong much more time. If he had done his part and still didn't receive any response from him, then he would have to take matters into his own hands. After all, having an idea without acting on it felt like something was missing. Of course, if he proceeded in this manner, he might become a frequent truant at school.
One day, Su Can found numerous pieces of paper on his desk and frowned, wondering who had sent them as a challenge. Upon entering the classroom, he saw that they were all letters.
The students from No.27 High School usually picked up their mail from the collection point at the entrance of the teaching building themselves; rarely did someone else bring it to them. Su Can knew this was a good sign—it meant he had gradually integrated into the class.
"Little Su, you're doing pretty well! I heard that Tang Wu also transferred to No.27 High School. This news caused quite a stir in our class; I believe you know what kind of situation it is! When we were playing soccer and on the way home from school, people would talk about how you and Tang Wu met at No.27 High School. Most people think it's very suitable for both of you! However, there are also many who feel disappointed. Just like I told you before, Sun Xiaolei in Class 5, the monitor of Class 7 who has secretly liked Tang Wu, our soccer team member with exceptional ball skills, and even Yue Zijiang—although they lost badly to a team from another city during one match, he was still playing despite being injured. He said, 'Even if someone can't cheer for me anymore, I will continue playing!' Many girls cried when hearing this; it made my heart ache!"
"We've all heard about it, hahaha! You were on the 27th Middle School's Weekly Exposure List just a week after joining and now you're chasing another girl again Man! Can't you stop flirting so much and leave some precious resources for us guys! Hehe, didn’t know we have an undercover here. Xiao Yunyun from your class is one of them. There are others scattered across different classes. Your every move is under the watchful eyes of the people. One last thing: what's going on with you Why haven't you conquered Tang Wu yet after so long We're all looking forward to hearing good news! Liu Rui and I miss you a lot! And one more thing, since you met up with Tang Wu at 27th Middle School, Miss Chen Lingshan from our class who's now the 'Flower of the Year' has been in a terrible mood lately. She’s so angry and irritable that you’d better be careful! When are we going to have another drink on the rooftop again"
Seeing Xue Yiyang's letter, Su Can felt a pang of sadness. He had altered his life course by leaving his hometown for Rongcheng. Could these friends change their fates All he hoped was that they would not be struck down by misfortune and that their lives would improve day by day.
Upon seeing the pile of letters, Xiao Yunyun walked up with a smile on her face and said, "You're very popular! So many people have written to you. I had to gather them all from different classes for you. You should keep them better."
A few classmates immediately gathered around him, talking among themselves: "Yes, yes!"
Su Can thanked each of them one by one. After this, the students in his class realized that Su Can was not as aloof or arrogant as they had imagined; when he sincerely expressed gratitude to them, it made everyone feel a bit of vanity.
In fact, it was inevitable for Su Can's status within the class to rise. As a former schoolmate of Xiao Yunyun's, she suddenly became noticeable by her classmates because upon his arrival, Su Can had shaken up the existing academic ranking system in the class with his fifth place physics score, which even shocked some established top students. This made those who were originally in fifth place feel immense pressure to improve further.
Moreover, the unclear relationship between him and Tang Wu was now spreading from their third grade outwards; many people were discussing it privately. Typically, a group of boys and girls who usually boasted about characters from other classes while belittling their own would talk about Su Can for once without exception.
On that day, a particularly enchanting girl entered the teaching building. Upon closer inspection, she turned out to be Sun Man with light makeup on as if recording an episode. As someone who is naturally beautiful and good at dressing up, Sun Man came to find her senior in Grade 2 during break time but accidentally bumped into Su Can at a corner where two grades intersected. Sun Man took two steps back and frowned, about to flare up when she saw it was Su Can. She quickly blushed, staring at him with sparkling eyes that seemed full of desire. "It's you I'm sorry." Su Can could sense her chest's elasticity and his heart skipped a beat. He felt he should be the one apologizing instead and said, "Sorry about that," then passed by her to enter the classroom from the back door where he sat down. Sun Man, who was left standing there with an expectation of more interaction, turned around hesitantly with disappointment in her eyes.
However, it made many girls in his class feel relieved and delighted. They knew how high Sun Man's standards were and how she had broken the hearts of men they deemed excellent after dating them a few times. Before the first-year division, someone who was in the same class as Sun Man witnessed a boy crying as he entered the classroom only to be comforted by her with a pat on his back telling him “It’s over between us, don't act like this anymore. Be good!” This made those girls hate her so much that they cursed her from their hearts yet felt helpless.
Now seeing how Sun Man was trying to ingratiate herself with Su Can but was met with his indifferent treatment, these girls felt a sense of satisfaction as if some hidden resentment had been released.
In the afternoon, Su Can went to the administrative building where the school magazine was located. While his new physics score might not reflect his overall capabilities, he knew that Lin Guangdong could find out about his current standing in school through various channels if he decided to do so—like via Li Jin.
However, unexpectedly, a dramatic incident broke out. As Su Can stood outside the building, he heard loud shouts and saw Lin Guangdong pulling on an adult man's collar while both were struggling! Nearby was a woman with her skirt torn who covered her mouth in horror, wanting to intervene but too weak to do anything except cry and plead for them to stop fighting.
The middle-aged man continued to curse, "You’re sick! She’s my woman; I can do whatever I want with her. What business is it of yours if I touch her butt! If she wants to be with me, she will be; you’ll see! Believe me, I’ll kill you!"
Soon the school principal and others arrived. Four security guards pulled the two apart, but the middle-aged man kept cursing, "Is this the caliber of teachers at No. 27 High School If they don’t replace that teacher, then all of you should resign!"
The school principal sighed in front of Lin Guangdong who had cooled down after his initial rage and went to console the middle-aged man from the Transportation Bureau. The middle-aged man himself didn’t make the higher-ups at No. 27 High School nervous, but they were wary of his relative who was a celebrity in Chengdu. Therefore, no matter what, he needed to be appeased.
The woman walked over and slapped Lin Guangdong across the face with a crisp sound. Some teachers nearby were dumbfounded; some looked at him with pitying eyes since he was considered their junior. They began to think that getting married and having children in such an ordinary way without any romance wasn’t necessarily bad, while someone like Lin Guangdong who liked women as beautiful but destined for extraordinary lives might be courting trouble.
Surprisingly, Lin Guangdong seemed to have all his strength drained out of him; the woman began to cry. She was covered in jewelry and had a graceful beauty. "Do you know what kind of person you were before You drank every day until you passed out when you got home, saying that being like this would earn you respect as a leader and make it easier for you to climb up the ranks! You said we could get married after three years, but after those three years, we’re still living in a rented apartment. You promised me another three years while claiming that the school would soon be allocating housing, yet did they really allocate any to you How can I keep waiting year after year for you Can my love feed us So, sorry, every woman wants stability and happiness, not just empty words like 'I love you'.
The teacher in charge of school benefits felt a pang of sympathy for the first time, realizing that he had done something wrong. But it was too late now.
Tears rolled down Lin Guangdong’s cheeks. Su Can felt as though he were looking at his former self before rebirth.
The woman cried even harder; she’d probably never seen Lin Guangdong shed tears for her before.
Publicity Department Minister Chen Ke, of the Literature Club, mustered up all his courage and said with a tone of authority, "You’re wrong. Teacher Lin isn’t like that at all. Why did you leave him You missed out on an excellent man."
The woman wiped away her tears and smiled at Chen Zhen, who was speaking to her, saying, "You don’t understand; none of you do."
Everyone left. The woman probably bent down and said something to the middle-aged man; he then agreed not to pursue anything further. He simply said that he would go buy some cosmetics worth several months’ wages for an ordinary person from Wangfujing Department Store to appease her, since chasing after someone who didn’t have a thing to his name was beneath him. It was fortunate but also pitiful.
Everyone left, and the school let Lin Guangdong be alone with his thoughts.
Su Can came over to him; Lin Guangdong looked at Su Can for a long time before saying, "I’ll contact your sister."
Su Cen sat down on the steps. "If, I mean if, one day you have a lot of things under your control, stand at a high position with power in hand, what would be your greatest desire to do."
Lin Guangdong's eyes turned red, "Revenge."
"I want revenge on them. I want to make her realize personally how wrong she is!"
Su Cen shook his head and sighed, "What you said isn't what I wanted to hear. She’s right; without strength or capability, why should she waste her precious youth for your sake Most terrifyingly, she can’t see a future ahead, which is so cruel for a woman who fears aging and craves stability."
"Make those who look down on you admire you! Make those who underestimate you fear you! Let them see that you actually live better without their blows! This is the greatest revenge!"
Liang Guangdong cried, then laughed. "Yes, to live even better is the ultimate revenge against them."
"I need your determination and ambition for revenge; I’ve experienced firsthand that sometimes pain can spur progress more than happiness, comfort cannot lead to advancement but will eventually cause destruction. Only a soul who has suffered knows how to trample on others to elevate themselves higher."
Liang Guangdong’s gaze was unclear, as if seeing Su Cen not just as a child, but as someone with profound depth.
Su Cen let out a sigh of relief, knowing that he might have found his number one general.
Roast fish is striving to advance the plot faster so everyone can see Su Cen's bigger breakthrough. A book needs diverse content; otherwise it won’t be as satisfying. Calm narrative and low points are just for a greater climax.
The end of the month is here, and monthly ticket competition is fierce. I hope to secure a spot; please support me.
