“You’ve done quite thorough research.”
Luo Chen replied with that, then calmly looked at the seed.
But inside, he could not help feeling shocked. This was a seed carrying the power of invisibility. It was extremely rare. If he could fuse with it, Luo Chen would gain the ability to become invisible.
Seeds with invisibility power, or other attributes, were actually very scarce. Seeds were rare to begin with, and one with invisibility was among the rarest of the rare.
Of course Luo Chen was tempted.
“If Mr Luo is willing, once you sign the contract and the mission is complete, this seed will be yours. It is only for three months. The person you are protecting is about to graduate soon. After graduation, there will be no need to protect her anymore.” The woman explained.
In the end, Luo Chen agreed. After all, the seed had a fatal attraction for him.
“We will arrange everything properly for Mr Luo. You will enter as a physical education teacher, and also serve as the class teacher. Of course, we have already spoken to the school about this.” The woman explained some details.
After reaching an agreement, the woman took Feilong and left.
“Why didn’t you make a move just now?” The woman glared at Feilong.
“I wanted to, but I could not move at all. You did not face him directly, so you do not know that feeling. The pressure was too overwhelming. I felt that if I made the slightest move, I would be killed instantly. This is the first time facing someone where I felt like I was standing at the gates of hell. He is too strong.”
Feilong gave a bitter smile. His back was still covered in cold sweat. He had never imagined that someone in this world could be so powerful that just his aura alone could scare him into immobility.
Meanwhile, Luo Chen picked up the photo of the person to be protected and looked at it. Suddenly, he felt a sense of familiarity.
This was in the Tongzhou Development Zone, an area under Guangkun’s control.
The best aristocratic high school in Tongzhou, Tulip High School, was located here. Tulip High School had an excellent school spirit and outstanding education. Both student performance and teacher professionalism were considered models.
But none of that applied to Class 3, Grade 12. This was a magical class. It could be said to be a stain and disgrace in the history of Tulip High School, yet even the principal himself could not say anything about it.
In Class 3, Grade 12, three of the school’s four biggest playboys were in this class. Both school tyrants were here too. The student with the best grades was in this class, and the one with the worst grades was also here.
This class had people skipping classes, fighting, smoking, drinking, dyeing hair, collecting protection money, and bullying teachers almost every day.
In three full years, they had changed eleven class teachers. Even now, two class teachers were still lying in the hospital.
A class with such a bad record should have been disbanded long ago, but this class had miraculously survived until only three months remained until graduation.
The reason was simple. This entire class consisted of second-generation rich kids.
Second-generation rich, second-generation officials, or sons of big shots in Tongzhou.
The top leader of Tongzhou, the second-in-command, and even Ye Zhengtian’s grandson were in there. A class with only twenty-one people, yet not a single one was someone the principal could afford to offend.
Principal’s office.
“No, Principal, this is absolutely not acceptable. I object!” A man in a sharp suit, with slicked-back hair, looking neat and tidy, was shouting angrily in the principal’s office.
“Chen Chao, this matter has been decided from above.” The principal looked to be in his fifties. Years of education work gave him an air of deep cultural refinement.
Coincidentally, Chen Chao was a teacher at this school, and he was even the director of studies.
“Principal, I know this guy’s background inside out. He is just a university graduate who finished recently. He does not even have a teaching qualification certificate. What right does he have to be the class teacher for Class 3, Grade 12?”
Chen Chao looked full of disdain. When he learned that Luo Chen was coming to be the class teacher for Class 3, Grade 12, he had strongly opposed it.
Someone like Luo Chen was worthy of being a teacher?
“Chen Chao, you yourself only graduated not long ago, and now you are already the director of studies.”
The principal sighed. He could not afford to offend Chen Chao, but he could offend Luo Chen even less. Because this was not a job assigned from above. It was a mission.
“How can he compare to me? I graduated from a famous foreign university. He just graduated from an ordinary university. He is someone without proper higher education.”
Chen Chao had a very bad impression of Luo Chen. Or rather, Luo Chen had coincidentally disrupted his plans.
Originally, for a difficult class like Class 3, Grade 12, the principal had arranged for him to take it, or rather, Chen Chao had fought for it himself.
Normally, other teachers would dread being assigned to such a class, but Chen Chao was different. First, only three months remained. Second, he had already greased all the necessary connections.
As long as he could get Class 3, Grade 12 into university, he could bypass the principal directly and enter the education bureau.
It could be said that Class 3, Grade 12 was originally a very important stepping stone for him to climb higher.
Even the previous teacher being forced out had something to do with him, Chen Chao. Victory was in sight, but then Luo Chen suddenly appeared.
“This matter is already settled. We cannot change it.” The principal spread his hands.
Seeing that even the principal said this, Chen Chao had no choice but to give up.
But Chen Chao clenched his fist and said darkly in his heart.
“You are just unlucky. I already took your girlfriend, and I was planning to let you off. But since you dare block my path, then I have no choice but to get rid of you.”
“The person is arriving soon. Call the other teachers over too.” The principal reminded them.
Luo Chen pushed open the door. A long table more than ten metres long was already full of people.
The office felt a bit stifling. Every pair of eyes turned towards Luo Chen.
To Luo Chen’s surprise, Chen Chao was actually here too. But it was clear that Chen Chao had a stiff face, deliberately pretending not to know him. Luo Chen thought about it and understood. Back then, this guy had lost all face in front of him.
It would be strange if he welcomed him warmly.
Luo Chen also remembered that in his previous life, Chen Chao had indeed been a high school teacher. But not long after, Chen Chao entered the education bureau.
The atmosphere was slightly serious. The entire office seemed filled with a smell of gunpowder.
This atmosphere already showed that the vast majority of people here did not welcome Luo Chen.
At this moment, the principal stood up and spoke.
“This is our new colleague, Luo Chen. No need for introductions. From now on, Luo Chen will be in charge of Class 3, Grade 12. That is the situation. I hope everyone will support his work in the future.”
“Hmph.” Chen Chao was the first to let out a cold snort, showing his dissatisfaction.
At that moment, a bald teacher wearing glasses suddenly stood up and spoke.
“I would like to ask Mr Luo, do you have any teaching experience? Do you have any educational philosophy or methods?”
Knowing Luo Chen’s background full well, yet asking him this directly to his face, was obviously meant to embarrass Luo Chen and provoke him on purpose.
“You are?”
“I am Sun Jianguo. I have been in education for over thirty years. My students are spread across the country. Some have become top tycoons in their regions, others have become high-ranking officials.”
Sun Jianguo introduced himself proudly, as if those achievements were his own.
“Oh? Teacher Sun, have you not heard the saying that to educate others, one must first educate oneself?”
Luo Chen naturally fought back. The moment he arrived, others were already stepping on his face. Of course Luo Chen would not give them a pleasant look.
“So what?” Sun Jianguo sneered.
“You do not even have basic courtesy or upbringing. How can you teach others properly?”
Luo Chen directly cursed him. Then he pulled over a chair and sat down. He leaned back lazily, then put both legs up on the table, looking like a big boss. The entire meeting room atmosphere instantly froze.
