Spare Me, Great Lord!

When Lu Shu returned Li Yixiao the 95 dollars change, Li Yixiao looked at this teen for a moment and laughed, “You’re really special, let’s be brothers.”

After finishing his sentence, he took his stinky tofu and left. Uncle Li was curious, “Xiao Shu, is that person really your principal?!”

Uncle Li, you really are curious to ask me this, Lu Shu was troubled as he packed his things and left, “Yup he’s our principal…”

Uncle Li stood there in shock as he looked at Lu Shu leaving, this indecent fatty is a principal?!

What was everyone’s impression of a school principal? Some were kind-looking, some knowledgeable or some even looked old and sly…

But overall, everyone’s impression of a politician or school principal would be someone who was more serious and stable which took years of discipline to achieve.

But this fatty… he’s so greedy that one could imagine him stealing a lollipop from a kid…

Even a normal person could tell when there’s a mismatch. It was like two chemicals being put together which would either become one uniform layer or there would be two separate layers. There might even be an explosion reaction.

The truth was that this contradiction started from the money aspect. Employees of the Heavenly Network had to be paid which gave rise to a major problem- Nie Ting suggested that these practitioners were to be paid handsomely.

But the rest wasn’t happy, so the positions filled by normal people weren’t as important? Everyone played a vital role so the treatment should be the same!

It was jealousy- why should these people receive a higher pay than us? If their jobs were more dangerous, what about the police and the army? Given the current situation, the policemen are more likely to be killed in the line of duty!

Even Nie Ting’s rank was suppressed to a secretary level, which was equivalent to a mayor or a director.

In the end, the Heavenly Network was placed under the general staff 2nd department and all of its employees were paid based on their ranks. Nie Ting was given the rank of general, the other Heavenly Kings were colonels while the rest of the ground network held ranks lieutenant colonel, captain and so on.

Second lieutenants in the army normally served as a platoon leader of sorts but in this case, the second lieutenant did not have much authority but was just paid according to this rank.

The amount of pay was just revised in the April of 2009- platoon leaders equivalent were paid 3300 while corps commander 10200, deputy commander 8800, division commander 7700, deputy division commander 7000 and regiment commander 6000.

Although this was much higher than what administration staff was getting, it was still much lesser than those commercial jobs.

To say something blunt, the people in the Heavenly Network were not as respected.

Nie Ting wasn’t satisfied with this but his report was constantly delayed and even denied.

Whenever Nie Ting traveled overseas, he had to be in charge of all the security measure. Although his position was similar to that of a prime minister, would a prime minister need to do this?

This was the truth and also one of Nie Ting’s greatest worries. When the practitioners started to have expectations for a higher pay and position, how should the Heavenly Network respond?

But at least within the management of the Heavenly Network, Nie Ting had full authority.

…

At this point in time, Lu Shu was confused. Whenever this fat Heavenly King said something like, “I, Li Yixiao, so and so”, it would remind him of “I, Pang Hu, don’t pay for my meals” kind of comical vibe.

But Lu Shu also felt this person wasn’t all that bad and a great Heavenly King like him who addresses Lu Shu as a brother in arms and could also sympathize with the commoners was actually a good thing.

Practitioners and metahumans were more and more integrated into the society. In the beginning, many were envious of metahumans living overseas who could make big money but because of the strict regulations, local metahuman criminal activities were also low which, on the other hand, were more apparent overseas. In Europe, refugees turned metahumans were openly protesting against the government which was a huge problem for all its people.

In both magical energy-scarce and rich eras, the local security was always top class.

A beginning of a new day, all the Luo Cheng international school students experienced a very unusual incident- their new principal stood at the school gate and greeted every student that walked by and everyone could still smell a lingering stench of stinky tofu…

Numerous students were reminded of Lu Shu by the stench…

Not knowing the situation, Lu Shu started receiving distress points, +1+3+2…

It was the first time students had seen a principal greeting them at the school gates in the early morning and everyone politely greeted back and some even took a bow as a form of respect.

Every time that happened, a huge grin would appear on Li Yixiao’s face, as though he had never been in such a high position before…

When he first approached Nie Ting, a high position was what he wanted. Since he was a Class B, they had to at least make him an official or something, right?

But Nie Ting was savage, crowning him a Heavenly King but not giving him any power.

How infuriating!

At least he was out of the capital and in charge of this city’s ground network and a school.

Li Yixiao recognized Lu Shu the moment he stepped into school and smilingly greeted, “Good morning my little brother.”

The students all looked at Lu Shu shockingly, what is this situation and why did he call him brother? Is it a coincidence or they know each other?

Speaking of which, how is it appropriate for a principal to address students like that?!

In the morning, Li Yixiao was brought around by a group of the school’s shareholders to observe the school activities. He was having the time of his life!

During lunch break, Li Yixiao came to the cafeteria and called the chef, “Give me two vegetable and two meat.”

After taking a mouthful, he pointed bitterly to the ‘Shame of you to waste food’ sign and told the food supplier and the student affairs director, “You’ve made such disgusting food from the ingredients that our farmers painstakingly grew and still dared to call others shameless?!”

The ex-principal couldn’t tolerate this anymore, how could a principal act like that and the cafeteria was a huge source of income for the school, as he said, “Principal, do not blame me for my bluntness…”

Li Yixiao grinned, “Then don’t blame me for my retaliation.”

This left all the school shareholders speechless, what is this nonsense and are you going to let him speak?!
