The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise

Ma Mingquan scanned around the hall. Upon noticing the bewilderment on everyone’s faces, he waved his hand and said, “Well, you don’t have to give all 14 classes to Class 21…”

He Min then replied, “You and your class deserve it. As for the others, just forget about it.”

Ma Mingquan was stunned again. Just when he was about to say something again, Fan Gaoda hastily stopped him and chimed in, “Are you out of your mind? Just accept it!”

Class 21 needed the opportunity badly. After Fu Zhi made the bet with Qian Wenrui, Class 21 had been under attack from all sides.

He Min and his group were going to give a total of 14 extra classes to Class 21. Not only that, but each and every one of them was unparalleled in their respective industries and the resources in their hands were ten times or a hundred times better than normal teachers like them.

If they really gave extra classes to Class 21, there was a good chance they might win the bet!

Every teacher looked at each other.

Ma Mingquan staggered two steps forward after being pushed by Fan Gaoda. His knees went weak and he nearly fell to the floor. However, he prevented himself from falling down with his pure willpower. He looked at He Min with his eyes filled with tears of joy and said, “Thank you so much, Professor He! You’re truly the hero of every student in Class 21! A good man like you should live as long as heaven lasts!”

Fan Gaodao did not know what to say.

He Min could feel goosebumps racing up his arm when he heard what Ma Mingquan had said, “Alright, alright! Stop it! We’re a family, and that’s what we’re here for.”

Ma Mingquan’s face blushed. He knew that as a man—no—a middle-aged man with a square face, he shouldn’t cry. Therefore, he clenched his fist and pounded on Fan Gaoda’s chest. “Okay!”

Fan Gaoda, who nearly vomited blood, wanted to strangle Ma Mingquan to death.

In the meantime, the scene happening in front of Director Liu was so bizarre that he was reaped of his ability to speak. He looked quizzically at Ma Mingquan and his brain was filled with a myriad of questions.

Why was He Min being so nice to Class 21? What was so special about Class 21? Was it Fu Zhi again?

He Min brought his group and approached Ouyang Feng, “It’s 7:40 am right now, so we’re expecting you to inform all the teachers and students about the extra class that we will be giving to Class 21 this afternoon, Mr. Ouyang.”

“Sure. That’s not a problem at all,” Ouyang Feng said as he rose to his feet. He nodded at He Min and the latter brought his group away after they had exchanged a handshake.

It was only then Mr. Dong came around to his senses. He asked, “So we all put down all our work and gathered up here, and in the end, they told us that they’re going to teach Class 21 only.”

Of course, Mr. Dong would not be so angry if only Class 21 was going to receive the additional extra classes from He Ming and his gang. What made him angry the most was the thing He Min said before he went away.

“Not only that, but he also wants Mr. Ouyang to inform the whole school about the extra class? Isn’t this the same as I’ve to stay away from my wife after marrying her?”

Director Liu threw daggers at Mr. Dong and snarled, “Mr. Dong, mind your manners!”

“I think Mr. Dong is right as well!’ Qian Wenrui chimed in after she had calmed herself down.

She was very elated when she received the learning materials from Wu Zhiheng, but it was nothing when he learned that He Min and his gang were going to give extra classes to students of No.1 High School. However, little did she expect that the extra classes were meant for Class 21 and none of the students from other classes, including her own students, were allowed to join.

Qian Wenrui could not accept it at all. She gripped the document in her hand tightly as she questioned Ma Mingquan, “Do you know why Professor He and his friends would come to No.1 High School? It’s because of the Ouyang Family! Besides, this is a rare opportunity for our students, so don’t you think it’s a little bit unfair that only Class 21 can join the extra classes?”

She paused for a moment before continuing, “Also, not that I’m looking down on your class, but as their teacher, you should know your students the best, Mr. Ma. Their academic performance is the worst in our school, and they are a bunch of lazy*sses. If I were their teacher, I would not hog the opportunity to deprive other children of an education and a chance to go to a prestigious university!”

Ma Mingquan lifted his head and looked at Qian Wenrui. He scanned her with his eyes from her head to her toe before saying in a flat voice, “How surprising. I didn’t know that Ms. Qian is such a saint who’s willing to sacrifice herself for other people. Well, it’s not wrong if you want to be a saint, but you shouldn’t think that everyone is the same as you.”

“Mr. Ma!” Qian Wenrui snarled, “I don’t know why Professor He and his friends only choose Class 21, but I’m sure it has something to do with Mr. Ouyang. I hope you understand that, as a teacher of No.1 High School, we should put the needs of our school before our own. We have to see the whole picture!”

Ma Mingquan was so infuriated that his body was shaking when he heard what Qian Wenrui had said. “Put the needs of our school before our own? Then why didn’t you give Class 21 a chance to receive a better education when you’re fighting for it for your own class?”

“The problem is not my refusal to give Class 21 a chance, but rather do you think your class deserves the chance? Look at their grades. I doubt they will understand anything even if they attend the class. Besides, did Fu Zhi ever pay attention in the class?”

“Ms. Qian is right. Students from Class 1 and Class 2 can teach their friends about the things they’ve learned during the extra classes, but how about Class 21? I doubt they will remember anything, and I’m pretty sure they will just play games with Fu Zhi in the class.”

“Mr. Ma, why don’t you tell Professor He that your class will only attend 2 extra classes? I’m sure he will understand and he won’t force your students to attend his class!”

“That’s right, Mr. Ma. Your students are disorganized and undisciplined, and it would be very bad for us if they piss off Professor He and his friends!”

Every teacher was chiming in and trying to force Ma Mingquan to give the chance to attend the extra classes to their students.

The situation had gone so much out of hand that Director Liu was not sure of what he should do. Just when Ma Mingquan was at a loss, Ouyang Feng tapped his finger to quiet everyone down. After that, he turned to Ma Mingquan and said, “Mr. Ma, please go back to your class and continue with the lesson. Director Liu, you will go to inform the whole school about Professor He’s classes.”

Qian Wenrui’s heart leaped into her throat and she said, “Mr. Ouyang, I…”

“If you can’t accept it, go talk to Professor He yourself,” Ouyang Feng interjected forcefully as he glared at Qian Wenrui, causing the latter’s heart to skip a beat.

The entire hall fell silent.

“All teachers, please go back to your class and continue the lesson as usual,” Ouyang Feng announced before exiting the hall. Director Liu hurriedly went up to him and said worriedly, “Mr. Ouyang, are you really going to let Class 21 go to the extra classes only? A lot of the teachers don’t think it’s fair.”

Ouyang Feng pushed open the door to his office and asked a question of his own. “Tell me, Director Liu. Why do you think Professor He and the others will come to No.1 High School?”

“Huh? Aren’t you the one who invited them here?”

“The Ouyang Family doesn’t have the privilege to get them here,” Ouyang Feng replied as he put the document on the table, “Let’s just put everyone else aside and talk about Hu Lei and He Ming first. Considering their reputation and influence in their respective industries, do you know that they won’t simply respond to someone’s call?”

Director Liu was confused, “If you’re not the one who invited them, then who is it…”

Ouyang Feng smiled and replied, “I heard that the other classes were bullying Fu Zhi’s classmates.”

—

At the same time, everyone in Class 21 was jotting down notes that their teacher wrote on the blackboard.

“Guys! Big news! Big News!” Wang Yu shouted as he barged into the class, causing everyone to lift their heads and looked at him. Wang Yu then continued excitedly, “Do you guys know who I bumped into when I was in the restroom just now? He Min! And Chen Xin was looking at his phone outside of the restroom! I remember that He Min was the one who set the question paper for our school, right? Didn’t he pick Sister Zhi to be his disciple in the end? So are they coming to give Sister Zhi extra classes?”

Fu Zhi was woken up by Wang Yu.

She kept her pillow back into her bag, and before she could say anything, Song Fang smacked Wang Yu’s head and snarled, “Stop yelling like a stupid. Do you know how long it has been? I bet Professor He has already forgotten about it. I’m sure they’re here for Mr. Ouyang. Or maybe they’re invited by Ouyang Ya that b*tch.”

Wang Yu felt Song Fang was right. He went back to his seat in dejection, and after a long while, he tossed his head back and shouted, “Why is it when something good happens, it’s always the Ouyang Family that gets it? Why is God so unfair to us? Why wasn’t I born in the Ouyang Family?”

Fu Zhi turned her head around and looked at Song Fang, who was standing beside her. She thought for a while and asked, “Why’re you so sure that he isn’t here for me, or to give you guys extra classes?”

“Let me put it in this way,” Song Fang said as he squatted beside Fu Zhi’s table, “If Professor He comes to our school to give us extra classes, it would be like a wealthy entrepreneur donating money to the poor people in the countryside. However, if he’s here for Class 1 and Hang Yuan, it would be like an alliance between giants.”

Who the hell would want to be poor if they were given the chance to be rich?

The rest of the students in the class nodded. “If we have the time to dream, we should make use of the time and read more books. Anyway, Sister Zhi, you can go back to sleep. It’s kinda scary when you’re sleeptalking.”

Fu Zhi did not know what to say.

‘Alright, then.’

Just when Fu Zhi turned around to pull her pillow out of her bag, the intercom speaker on top of their class came to life and a voice rang out.

“Attention to all teachers and students,” Director Liu said, “There are two announcements that I would like to make. First, from today onwards, Professor He Min, Professor Qian Man, and Professor Hu Lei will be giving the students in our school some extra classes. Everyone, please welcome them with a round of applause.”

Wang Yu squinted his eyes at Song Fang and said, “Brother Fang, do you think our school will ask them to give extra classes to the top 100 students?”

Before Song Fang could say anything, Director Liu continued, “Starting from this afternoon, Professor He and his team will conduct extra classes to Class 21 for half a month. We hope that our students will cooperate with Class 21…”

Every student in Class 21 and other classes was stunned. They all thought their ears or their heads were messing with them, as they could not believe what they had just heard.

‘Excuse me? They are not going to give us extra classes and they still want us to cooperate with Class 21? What the hell are they thinking?’

The students from Class 1 to Class 18 were infuriated.

“Hurray!” Yun Xiaoxiao was so happy that she threw her arms up high in the air, “Professor He and his team are going to give us extra classes! This is so f*cking awesome!”

Su Xing poked Yun Xiaoxiao’s arm and said, “What are you doing? Can’t you see that there are a lot of students watching you outside of our class?”

“So what?” Yun Xiaoxiao replied, “Oh my gosh. I still can’t believe that Professor He and his team are going to give us extra classes!”

“Yes! I bet the students in Class 1 must be regretting looking down on us yesterday. It’s too bad that I can’t go to their class now. I really would like to see the expression on their faces. It must be very interesting!” Wang Yu added.

Meanwhile, after Song Fang had come around to his senses, he turned with animatronic stiffness to Fu Zhi and said, “Sister Zhi, I recall everything I said to you just now. I just want to ask, are you the one who asked them to come?”

“Don’t you know that you can’t recall a message after 2 minutes?” Fu Zhi replied expressionlessly, “Don’t ask me anything. I’m not worthy enough to answer your question.”

Song Fang became speechless.

There were so many noises in Class 21 that even the entire corridor was filled with their voices. Ma Mingquan wedged his way through the crowd, poked his head out, and asked, “Did you guys hear the news already?”

“Yes! Xiao Ma, we finally can hold our heads high in front of other classes! Let’s go to a bar tonight and celebrate!”

Ma Mingquan waved his hand, “I’ll pass. Anyway, I’m here to inform you guys that the first lesson today is Hu Lei’s Mathematics class. I heard that he has a bad temper, so you guys better pay attention in his class. Don’t sleep in the class and don’t play with your phones, you hear me?”

“Don’t worry, Xiao Ma,” Song Fang replied, “I will certainly pay 100% attention in the class later!”

“Yeah, right! It’s our honor to have Hu Lei teach us Mathematics. Even if I don’t understand a single thing, I will pay attention to every word he says!”

Ma Mingquan nodded in satisfaction. “The extra class will be held in the assembly hall. The hall can accommodate 300 students, so Director Liu and I figured that we should let another 2 classes join the session. However, you guys will be sitting in the front rows.”

As for which class would be joining, Director Liu asked Ma Mingquan to consult Fu Zhi.

As such, Ma Mingquan turned to Fu Zhi and looked at her.

As if she knew what he was thinking, Fu Zhi replied, “I will let Song Fang and Wang Yu decide.”

Song Fang and Wang Yu were dumbfounded.

“You… You’re going to let us decide?”

Everyone outside Class 21 gasped. Just when all of them were waiting with bated breath, the class monitor of Class 3 knocked on the door.

She started to regret her decision to siding with Class 1 the moment she heard the announcement. If she lent the notes to Class 21, if her class and she did not betray Class 21’s trust, there was a good chance that Class 21 would let Class 3 join the session.

However, what’s done was done and there was nothing she could do to remedy the relationship between her class and Class 21.

That said, this was really a rare opportunity and she was not going to give up just like that. After all, people always said that never try never know. Who knew Class 21 might forgive them?

With that thought in mind, she took the notes from the best student in her class and handed them to Song Fang. Then, she offered him a big smile and said, “Song Fang, I remember that you guys wanted to borrow notes from us right? Here you go. I’m sorry for taking so long.

The other students chided her for her shamelessness and they all also took their notes out as well.

At this moment, Song Fang and Wang Yu felt extremely relieved.

They looked at each other and Song Fang said, “We don’t need it anymore. After all, we are a bunch of useless scums and we don’t deserve to take your notes. We decided to let Class 19 and Class 21 join the session.”
