Chapter 487 He Hongtao's Happy Squint (Thank You to Silver Alliance Leader 啾与咪与驴与点与甜)

Did I discover some kind of secret?
Did *we* discover some kind of secret?
Everyone felt it, smelled a whiff of conspiracy.
Xia Xinyu, after saying that, froze, and then quickly looked at Chen Yuan, like a child who had made a mistake, her face full of panic.

This silly woman.
Chen Yuan was truly defeated.
Since even He Xuan didn't know about it, that meant Da He wanted to keep it a secret.
But since it had already been said so clearly, there was no way to hide it anymore.
"Can you guys not spread it around?" Chen Yuan asked cautiously before speaking.
"Not even He Sijiao?" Zhou Fu asked weakly.
"You just named the biggest blabbermouth in Eleventh High!" Chen Yuan surrendered.
"Besides Wu Wenxin, I won't tell anyone else," Shi Yi also said frankly.
"Hmm, you're at least honest. At least you tell me it's definitely going to leak."

No, what's wrong with these people?
Don't they even understand normal social niceties? Shouldn't they be saying solemnly that they would never spread it, and then secretly telling everyone afterwards?
Preemptively judging, not wanting to take the blame, huh?
"Actually, it's not that big of a deal," Chen Yuan said awkwardly. "But it involves two high-ranking people, so I'll use code names. You guys just need to understand."

After Chen Yuan said this, everyone looked at him seriously, ready to listen.
Xia Xinyu also looked at Chen Yuan with particular embarrassment, as if to say: *I'm sorry, it was my fault, sob…*
Since they were good friends, then this could be said with discretion.
"Didn't I do pretty well on the exam before? Then a certain high-ranking Mr. B wanted me to transfer schools and even promised a scholarship. But B accidentally let it slip, and a certain high-ranking Mr. A found out, so he talked to me, not only giving me a scholarship but also giving a scholarship to a certain big-mouthed girl. That's basically the gist of it."

After Chen Yuan finished speaking, everyone basically understood the ins and outs of the matter.
And a certain big-mouthed Xinyu also drooped her eyebrows apologetically: *Sorry, He Xiao, for letting everyone know about your business…*
"I know who A is, but as for B, there seem to be quite a few candidates?" Liu Chengxi said.
"Do you think our one would do such a dirty thing?" Shen Yating asked.
"No way."
Liu Chengxi directly denied it.
And so, he slowly understood.
Thinking of that person in the worst possible light, in the most despicable way, and you could confirm the candidate…
So something like this had happened.
"I think I know a little about this. I heard some things when we were eating that day," He Xuan also said with surprise. "But I didn't expect the final solution to be so simple."
"Yeah, like a business war," Shen Yating also said with emotion, then joked with a smile, "Should we also apply for some scholarships?"
"Everyone here should be able to apply for scholarships," He Xuan said with a smile.

But Dad was really not easy either.
It wasn't easy to have such a great student at his school. He didn't expect that B Principal (not a swear word) from next door would try to snatch away students. It was really easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark.
But now, she had a deeper understanding of Zhang Jianjun's personality.
Different from the aloofness on the surface, this person was unexpectedly real.
If someone threatened his position in the education world, he would really resort to crooked methods.
"I'm still looking forward to you coming to our school," Shi Yi said with a smile.
"Hey, don't say it so clearly," Chen Yuan reminded.
He Xuan said with a smile, "Let's just call it B School."
Why does that sound so much like a swear word…
But the only person who was triggered to smile was Chen Yuan.
In other words, only Chen Yuan heard it as a swear word.
Okay, I get it.
The top students here are generally simple and honest, except for this Chen Yuan…
Slightly less simple and honest.

Crap, I've been tested.
Maya, what if the princess checks my background!
Gotta be more serious.
From now on, I'm going to imitate Xi-ge's persona!
She felt it, he was pretending to be serious because he had laughed impiously just now.
And judging from the looks of it, he seemed to be imitating the temperament of that Number One High School heartthrob…
Honestly, both of them were pretty handsome.
But the type of handsome was indeed different.
That Number One High School heartthrob gave people a sense of coldness that kept people at a distance.
Chen Yuan, on the other hand, looked more sunny, always feeling very friendly, the type who would smile and greet people he knew.
So, if we were just talking about getting along…
Chen Yuan might be more suitable for making friends.

Is she analyzing me?!
Chen Yuan was a little nervous.
Unconsciously, he had started a battle of wits with the princess!
Forget it, what am I thinking.
I don't want to be a prince consort.
"But I think Chen Yuan is suitable for our school," Liu Chengxi said at this moment. "In terms of school spirit, we should be more tolerant."
"I can indeed tolerate the school spirit of Number One High School," Chen Yuan nodded.
"He's saying the school spirit of Number One High School can tolerate *you*…" Xia Xinyu reminded him leisurely.
"Ah?" Chen Yuan looked puzzled.
Do I look that undisciplined?

"But my dad… ah, no, but Mr. A," He Xuan revealed at this point, "He really thinks highly of Chen Yuan and often talks about you with my mom… with Mr. A's spouse at home."
It's so tiring to talk like this!
And what's the point?
Isn't it all obvious?
"That's really an honor, and I've received a lot of help from him," Chen Yuan sincerely felt that Xiao He was a good person.
"He also helped us when we encountered bullies at the school gate before," Zhou Fu also said with slightly red cheeks, full of admiration. "Mr. A was so handsome at the time, he went up and slapped them a few times and even drove us back."
"Eh? There was such a thing?"
He Xuan didn't know that her dad had such a domineering president side to him, she was very surprised.
She had always thought that her dad was the kind of refined… or rather, more reserved person, who wouldn't get so angry.
"It's true," Zhou Fu nodded, feeling warm when she thought of this scene. "At that time, he was so reliable."
"Yeah, if it weren't for him, I might have already beaten Zheng Qi to death," Chen Yuan also felt a little emotional when he talked about this matter.
"Speaking of which…"
Liu Chengxi also thought of his related experience and said, "When I was in the first year of high school, there was a guy who gave me trouble and often blocked me. Later, after our class teacher found out, he never appeared in front of me again."
"Was he expelled?" Xia Xinyu asked curiously.
"I don't know, but he should have had a talk with him," Liu Chengxi said.
"Then what was the reason he was picking on you?" Shen Yating asked curiously.
Liu Chengxi thought for a while and said somewhat blandly, "He said I was pretentious."
"Pfft—"
Hearing this made everyone laugh.
Even He Xuan, a newcomer, laughed.
Coupled with Liu Chengxi's cold and innocent expression, it was really interesting.
"Sorry…" Zhou Fu covered her mouth, laughing a little uncontrollably.
Because it was too funny.
Although she didn't know where the funny part was, but this matter, said by Liu Chengxi, was unexpectedly comedic.
Liu Chengxi saw everyone's reaction and just sighed, not arguing.
Maybe everyone thought he was pretentious too.
"I don't think Chengxi is pretentious," Shi Yi said a fair word at this time.
Suddenly, Liu Chengxi's eyes lit up, as if he had seen someone who understood him.
"It's just that he's more individualistic," Shi Yi said euphemistically.
"Isn't that being pretentious?"
Liu Chengxi made the face of a foreign child pursing his lips, feeling that he was being targeted.
"Um…" Shi Yi didn't know what to say.
But Liu Chengxi's appearance was indeed a bit easy to offend people.
When he first met Chen Yuan, when the three of them met at the hotel, he felt that he was a little too cold towards some people he wasn't interested in.
"If you want to talk about pretentious…" Xia Xinyu couldn't help but say at this time, "Chen Yuan at the beginning was also a little bit."
"Huh?" Zhou Fu was very interested. Was there such a history?
"At that time, he seemed to hate everyone equally, and his expression wasn't so friendly," Xia Xinyu said, then smiled and looked at Chen Yuan.
"Sigh, here we go again."
Chen Yuan had already foreseen what these women were going to talk about.
"Wasn't he always a harmless husky face?" Zhou Fu was particularly curious.
"No, let me imitate it for you."
Xia Xinyu straightened her body, then leaned back slightly on the chair, her eyebrows slightly lowered, revealing a somewhat lazy, yet not very enthusiastic, world-weary expression that seemed like she would snatch a child's skateboard to play with.
Seeing this, several people were amused by Xia Xinyu's lifelike expression.
He Xuan even felt that Xia Xinyu was a genius, how could she learn it so perfectly all of a sudden?
"I think it's okay," but Liu Chengxi expressed his approval very seriously.
This version of Chen Yuan had no problem.
Being recognized by you, you pretentious handsome guy, doesn't that make me a pretentious offender too?
"I think Shi Yi, who should be the most aloof here, is actually particularly approachable," Zhou Fu said after studying it.
Then, everyone looked at him.
Sure enough, although he was big and looked burly, Shi Yi gave people a very gentle, non-aggressive feeling.
"Ah ha… is that so?" Shi Yi was a little shy to be looked at.

Indeed.
Chen Yuan also admitted Zhou Fu's statement.
Shi Yi was a bit like an honest person.
Liu Chengxi was a bit pretentious.
And he was a kind and great person with a little humor.
"Anyway, the three top students are all different from the top students in my impression," He Xuan commented.
At least, they were not very conventional.
"Okay, it's time to look at the little shop owner's face," Chen Yuan said.
Then, everyone looked at Zhou Fu.
And Zhou Fu, also quite vain, turned her golden right face to everyone, ready to accept evaluation.
"No matter what angle, she's flawlessly beautiful," Xia Xinyu praised.
"Indeed, she's a beauty," Shen Yating said.
"So pretty," He Xuan said.
"Thank you, thank you."
Zhou Fu was very comfortable being praised.
"So, what are the boys looking at?" Shen Yating kindly reminded.
"So double standards!"
"Is it okay to evaluate our male treasures?"
"But many people only understand after getting in touch," Xia Xinyu said with some emotion, "For example, our principal, we originally thought he was particularly strict and ruthless, but in fact, he also has an open-minded side."
"He's always been like this, right?" Shi Yi didn't think so.
"You must have a bit of masochistic tendencies…" Shen Yating complained, "If we were in Fourth High School, we would have lost all our good qualities."
Shen Yating couldn't imagine how unhappy she and Liu Chengxi would have become in Fourth High School.
"But objectively speaking," Shi Yi thought for a while and said, "The principal of Eleventh High School is still more approachable."
"That's right, although he's learning from Zhang Jianjun, he's undoubtedly much better," Shen Yating also thought so, "He's even willing to take photos with students."
"Yeah, a good person," even Liu Chengxi thought so.
He Xuan suddenly realized that not only Chen Yuan and Zhou Fu, who were from this school, liked her dad.
Everyone who had contact with her dad was unanimously praising him…
Was this old man's personal charm so strong?
………
"Then I'll go first, goodbye everyone."
At the entrance of the coffee shop, He Xuan took the initiative to say goodbye to everyone because of the different directions.
"Come and play next time," Zhou Fu said with a smile.
"Yeah, yeah, I will," He Xuan nodded.
"Xuan, see you at school." Xia Xinyu, holding Chen Yuan's hand, also waved to her.
"See you at school."
In this way, she said goodbye to everyone.
These very interesting people.
Then she took a taxi and returned home.
"How was it, any gains today?" He Hongtao took the initiative to ask when he opened the door for her.
"Yeah," He Xuan said while changing her slippers, "They analyzed that the fastest way for me to get into those two schools is to improve my English."
"Then should we get an English tutor?" He Hongtao asked.
"Not for the time being, I think I need to correct my attitude," He Xuan sat on the sofa and said, "I've always thought that the comprehensive science test is the key to improving scores, and I've really been a little dismissive of English."
"Do they all think so?" He Hongtao asked.
"Yeah, their English scores are all 140+, even Zhou Fu's. So, I think if I put in more effort, it should be effective."
"Then what else? Any other gains?"
"Um…" He Xuan thought for a while, then raised her finger, admiringly said, "Chen Yuan from your school is too amazing. If he was a tutor, I can't imagine how strong he would be."
"Did he teach you questions?"
"Yes, he not only taught very thoroughly, but he could also give me related questions directly without even thinking. I feel like this person has completely understood math, he has a completely godly way of thinking," He Xuan said approvingly.
"After all, he's experienced many score ranges, he's too experienced."
"I feel like I can still find them to play… study together next time."
"Haha."
He Hongtao smiled, then got up and prepared to get water with his thermos cup.
Looking at her dad's back, He Xuan showed a somewhat expectant smile, raised her head, and said, "Also, they all praised you."
"…" He Hongtao froze directly, the smile on his face involuntarily rising, but he still walked to the water dispenser, filling his water while pretending to be calm, "Oh, what did they say?"
"They said you are the best one among the principals, that you are very approachable and not at all pretentious. And Zhou Fu praised you the most, saying you are particularly handsome…"
As He Xuan counted, He Hongtao was gradually hooked, his smile already unable to be suppressed.
As a principal, he had heard countless compliments.
Just like it was said in ancient texts, it was fear of him, it was wanting to ask something of him.
But these children didn't have any need to please him.
So this praise was truer than gold.
Calm down, calm down a little.
Forcibly dissolving the smile on his face, he filled the water, then turned around, drinking hot tea while nodding a little: "Is that so?"
"Especially Chen Yuan."
Chen Yuan?
What did Chen Yuan say?
He Hongtao froze, pretending to drink water, but in fact, he pricked up his ears.
Thinking that the secret couldn't be said randomly, in order to make his dad happy, He Xuan simply improvised: "He said he received a lot of help from you, was particularly touched, so he wanted to try to get a good score to repay you."
"…"
He Hongtao's smile couldn't be suppressed.
He pursed his lips, moistened his throat, paced in place, and then said with visible delight: "He said it quite objectively, quite well."
"Oops, I've hooked the old man a bit too hard…"
"His eyes are a little sticky now."
"I'm too filial."
"Then Dad, I'm going back to my bedroom," He Xuan prepared to run away.
"Yeah," He Hongtao, sitting on the sofa, nodded, then said to her, "Communicate with them more, maybe you can be classmates in college."
"Okay, I know."
In this way, He Hongtao drank tea on the sofa.
As he drank, he nodded to himself.
Good kids, they are all good kids.
Especially Chen Yuan.
Thinking about it, what else good can I get this kid…
