Chapter 733: Chapter 541 Hu Lin Fights
The only thing still supporting Er Piya’s relentless antics is probably her grades.
By the ti Chen Pingsheng got ho, she was already worn out from striking poses, just about to aim Ultraman’s little butt at the livestream with a hundred thousand viewers.
Unexpectedly, a loud fart completely shattered her composure. As the richest Second Princess on the whole Internet, how could she blatantly let one rip?
And such a deafening one at that! She promptly shut down the livestream.
If I don’t take it seriously, then no one can bla .
Er Piya ran to her dad demanding praise. She was planning to withdraw all the money from her livestream earnings; she used to consider donating all of it to her sister’s Anle Fund.
But now that she has her own ga company, of course the money should be invested in her business first.
Not that it’s much — after deducting platform fees, it amounts to around 120 million.
Making over a hundred million through livestreaming at such a young age, even her sister Chen An’an was quite impressed.
Actually, a lot of the inco ca from tips from acquaintances, like Yang Mi, Zhao Liying, Liu Yifei, and others.
So were from her own company, while others were from people aware of her identity.
The pride of Er Piya was unmatched—with her chin held so high, even dogs would shake their heads watching her.
Chen Pingsheng was about to praise her when the phone in his pocket rang.
This ti, it wasn’t just anyone calling—it was his younger sister Chen Qi.
“Brother, co quickly to Hu Lin’s school!”
“Why should I go there?”
“He got into a fight.”
Hu Lin got into a fight? Chen Pingsheng’s first reaction was disbelief.
What could possibly drive such an honest man to this point? This guy fighting is about as surreal as picturing Liu Yifei doing a striptease right in front of him.
“Why’d he get into a fight?”
“So teachers ganged up to report him, and then said stuff about . He couldn’t take it and started fighting.”
Chen Pingsheng did a bit of digging and quickly figured out the story—Hu Lin is even more capable than the school principal.
He’s the school’s self-designated disciplinary committee head, a title he assigned to himself since the principal never gave him the role officially.
Whenever a teacher dares to hold back the good stuff during class so students would have to enroll in their private tutoring sessions later, the justice warrior Hu Lin is the first to report them.
That’s not all—while most teachers enjoy a special canteen with better als than the students, Hu Lin insists on eating food his wife packs for him or the regular school als just like the students.
If the food is oily or expired, he’ll turn around and slap a complaint down right there.
Soone like him sticking to such principles naturally stands out awkwardly in the school.
Except to the students.
Among the teachers, chefs, guards, and janitors, Hu Lin is basically t with dogs shaking their heads on sight.
If a security guard so much as raises his voice at a student, Hu Lin will have his complaint filed imdiately.
Over ti, every staff mber up the ranks holds little affection for him.
The reason he got into a fight is because a group of teachers banded together to accuse him of corporal punishnt of a girl student in the class.
Of course, this wasn’t true; the girl herself denied it. But unfortunately, once enough people spread the accusation, so folks started buying it.
This wasn’t even the reason Hu Lin ended up fighting—he lost his temper when soone insulted him for living off his wife’s earnings.
Having a wife at ho earning money while denying others a shot at inco? That’s worse than being an animal.
Being a teacher in Magic City and relying solely on a salary—do you think they can afford a house?
The answer is definitely no.
Hu Lin might report real issues.
But he is indeed cutting off people’s inco, which is why even the principal shakes his head at him.
Never mind others.
The thing Hu Lin hates most is anyone talking bad about his wife—you can insult him, but saying anything about Chen Qi is absolutely unacceptable.
He’s got principles there; call him a freeloader, fine, he’ll openly admit that’s true.
But insult his wife’s judgnt and that’s a hard no.
What could Chen Pingsheng possibly do to resolve this situation? He doesn’t actually need to handle it—after all, Hu Lin was planted there under his arrangent.
The higher-ups aren’t going to punish him too much anyway; if anything, they’ll deal with the other set of teachers.
This has nothing to do with right or wrong—it’s all about connections.
To the people above the principal, Hu Lin’s reports might annoy the teachers but don’t affect their interests.
On the contrary, with one of their figures behind Hu Lin, handling this fairly also boosts their reputation as being just among the students.
This makes it incredibly easy for them to deal with.
While Hu Lin’s reputation among colleagues is a disaster, in the eyes of the students, he’s undoubtedly the beacon of justice—the go-to Mr. Hu for getting things blown out of proportion.
Whatever issue arises, Chen Qi could fix it on her own; there’s no need for him to ddle.
Why make outsiders think he’s got too much spare ti? Even the principal doesn’t have authority here—it has to go higher up the chain.
Eventually, soone at the top determines the resolution, and Chen Pingsheng gets another call. He doesn’t say much, only responds with: “Just handle it fairly and don’t treat him like anyone’s relative.”
And in the end, all teachers involved except Hu Lin face disciplinary action.
Chen Pingsheng himself feels pretty helpless; if you argue those teachers are wrong, they were just trying to make extra inco to afford a house and pay off their mortgage.
If you argue they’re right, well, that’s not quite true either.
Hu Lin wouldn’t have the luxury of being a justice warrior if he hadn’t married Chen Pingsheng’s sister.
Take that relationship away and see if he could maintain his righteous streak.
The answer is surely no, so from that angle, you can’t really bla the other teachers.
Song Yanxi found it equally surprising to hear that Hu Lin had gotten into a fight at school.
This guy is too honest—so honest that almost no one thought it was possible for him to stir up trouble, like it’s an instinctive certainty.
After Chen Qi took Hu Lin ho, he imdiately went to Chen Pingsheng’s place, saying he wanted to accept a scolding from his brother-in-law.
But how could Chen Pingsheng criticize him? The guy wasn’t even wrong.
Where exactly is the fault? The ridiculously high housing prices.
When even highly educated professionals like Magic City teachers can’t reasonably afford a house, car, and family with their inco,
it makes you wonder how many people can easily buy a ho in this city.
To teach at a decent school in Magic City nowadays, you used to get by with a degree from a 211 university.
Now even Qingbei Ph.D. graduates are lining up for a shot.
If Chen Pingsheng were to criticize Hu Lin for being a good person and doing the right thing, that would violate his own principles.
So he simply kicked his sister Chen Qi out.
“Brother, your brother-in-law got into a fight, aren’t you going to say sothing?”
“There’s nothing to say—this guy is bound to alienate his colleagues. I can’t judge him; you two deal with it yourselves.”
Chen Qi was stunned, feeling like her brother didn’t seem interested in handling Hu Lin’s business.
That shouldn’t be the case!
As unreliable as Hu Lin could be, he couldn’t possibly be as bad as Yang Changwen, right?
At least he should offer a few words for reassurance!
“Brother, Hu Lin might not be able to stay at that school. What do you think he should do next?”
“Why wouldn’t he be able to stay? It’s his colleagues who won’t be able to stay.”
Chen Pingsheng shut the door, refusing to let his little sister keep yamring on.
Not to ntion the fact the staff at Hu Lin’s school dislike him, even Chen Pingsheng himself gets frustrated seeing that guy.
