Chapter 9: Taking Leave
1586 Words
After leaving Qian Youcai's house, Qin Feng now had some savings in hand.
"Now that I have the initial capital, I need to think about where to develop next."
"Three hundred thousand should be enough to start a business."
Qin Feng looked at the money in the bag, recalling memories from his previous life.
Suddenly, a thought struck him.
He remembered a place—a town within the city, called Caohai Town.
Due to years of underdeveloped transportation and a lack of interest from developers, the town's economic conditions were very poor.
It was one of the lowest-ranked areas in the entire city.
But Qin Feng knew that the geographical conditions of that town were actually very good.
To the north, it was near the sea and adjacent to mountains, with numerous development opportunities.
Whether for tourism or seafood sales, it was an ideal location.
"If I remember correctly, in two years, the government will start investing in developing Caohai Town."
"From that point on, the town's economy will skyrocket, and property prices will soar."
"The residents, who were previously impoverished, will suddenly become millionaires."
The last opportunity fell into the hands of the government, and other developers couldn’t seize it.
But this time, Qin Feng wanted to stake his development on Caohai Town!
"Before they start developing it, doing business in Caohai Town might be a good choice."
With this decision made, Qin Feng checked the time.
If he started his business now, he could benefit greatly once Caohai Town was developed.
"Yes! That's the plan!"
Since it was Monday, Qin Feng decided to first visit Caohai Town.
He wanted to see for himself how backward the town really was.
"Unfortunately, I have classes, so I need to ask for leave from school. Otherwise, it would be considered skipping class."
With this thought, Qin Feng took a cab to school.
Recently, the teachers didn’t know what he was up to, and he didn’t plan to reveal it.
Arriving at the classroom, it was just the time students were arriving, and the classroom was already filled.
Qin Feng glanced around but didn’t spot the homeroom teacher.
"She should be in the office."
He looked at the other classmates but didn’t pay much attention.
"Wait!"
Just as Qin Feng was about to leave, the class monitor stopped him.
"What are you doing? Class is about to start."
Qin Feng knew the class monitor all too well.
Like the old Qin Feng, the monitor was a die-hard fan of Zhuang Yan!
Compared to the old Qin Feng, the monitor was even more obsessed.
But now, Qin Feng had changed, and he didn’t care about Zhuang Yan at all.
If the monitor was still pursuing her, what did it have to do with him?
Thinking this, Qin Feng casually replied, "I’m planning to take a day off. I need to visit some other places."
He had no intention of revealing his plans to the monitor.
"Taking leave? Just for a day?"
Taking leave was usually a minor issue, and even the monitor had the authority to approve it.
But this time was different.
He sized up Qin Feng and recalled Qin Feng's previous attempt to confess to Zhuang Yan, realizing something.
"Oh, I see. You must have failed in your confession and are planning to go out and clear your head?"
The monitor’s eyes were full of mockery as he stared at Qin Feng.
"Confession?"
If the monitor hadn’t mentioned it, Qin Feng might have forgotten.
Indeed, he had confessed in his previous life, but he had no such feelings for Zhuang Yan this time.
But the monitor didn’t see it that way.
"Stop pretending. Everyone in the class knows you like our class flower!"
"With your looks and charm, being rejected is just normal."
"It’s nothing to be ashamed of. Why are you so shamelessly denying it?"
The monitor’s arrogant attitude made Qin Feng feel a bit disgusted.
He used to be like the monitor, blindly infatuated with Zhuang Yan.
But now?
He had long since lost interest in Zhuang Yan.
"Whether Zhuang Yan agrees or not has nothing to do with me. And there's no need to report to you what I plan to do."
Qin Feng was somewhat speechless.
He didn’t want to bother with this clueless sycophant.
"Hmph! Who doesn’t know your little scheme?"
Clearly, the monitor wasn’t willing to let Qin Feng off easily.
He blocked Qin Feng’s way, looking down on him.
"Don’t think you can fool me. You just want to escape reality after your confession failed!"
"In reality, you’re just jealous that Zhuang Yan likes me!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the classroom burst into laughter.
Qin Feng was unfazed, allowing Zhuang Yan to gloat in front of him.
"Actually, if you were nicer to me, I might teach you some tips on pursuing women."
"You know, Zhuang Yan and I are getting along really well. Don’t get jealous!"
The monitor spoke with such pride that his saliva nearly dripped from his mouth.
"Yesterday, she even asked me to buy her milk tea! And she wants me to take her out for meals every day!"
"She even wants me to bring her breakfast every day. Doesn’t that mean she likes me?"
"This is the gap between us! You can just envy and hate me!"
The monitor spoke with such seriousness, as if it were a glorious achievement.
Even the classmates in the room had mixed expressions upon seeing this.
The monitor would probably never realize his foolishness.
No matter how grandly the monitor spoke, in Qin Feng’s eyes, he was still just a sycophant.
The monitor’s sycophantic behavior was hardly enviable to Qin Feng.
"Oh, and then?"
Qin Feng looked at the monitor with growing contempt.
Hearing this calm response, the monitor seemed to be hit in a sore spot.
"Hey! Qin Feng, you should be envious. I have a great relationship with your goddess."
"Compared to me, you’re just a worthless piece of trash. You’re not even fit to clean Zhuang Yan’s shoes!"
"Spit!"
The monitor spat on the ground and blocked Qin Feng from leaving the classroom.
The surrounding students were amused by the monitor’s antics, turning the classroom into a chaotic scene.
There were actually some students in the class who were on good terms with Qin Feng.
Seeing the monitor bullying him, they felt uncomfortable.
But since the monitor was the class leader, even if they wanted to protest, they feared repercussions.
As for Qin Feng, his expression remained unchanged throughout.
Wasting breath on a sycophant like this was inherently foolish.
If possible, Qin Feng would rather wait for the teacher to arrive and ask for his leave.
As for the monitor, he could continue to flatter Zhuang Yan.
"Hey! Monitor, don’t you think what you’re saying is a bit too much?"
At that moment, Su Xiaoxiao stood up from her seat.
Seeing Qin Feng being humiliated, she felt a surge of anger.
"Qin Feng just wants to take a day off. Is it really necessary to treat him like this?"
"Besides, even if Qin Feng’s confession failed, that’s his own business. What right do you have to interfere?"
Even though Su Xiaoxiao wasn’t a close friend of Qin Feng, she couldn’t stand the monitor’s arrogant attitude and decided to stand up for him.
The monitor didn’t expect anyone to speak up for Qin Feng and looked displeased.
"Su Xiaoxiao, what does it have to do with you? Why are you sticking your nose in?"
"Don’t forget, I’m the class leader!"
The monitor snorted coldly and walked up to Su Xiaoxiao.
Standing nearly 1.9 meters tall, the monitor was significantly taller than Su Xiaoxiao.
Looking at him, Su Xiaoxiao showed a hint of fear.
Seeing this, Qin Feng frowned.
No matter how the monitor treated him, he didn’t care, as he saw the monitor as just a useless sycophant.
But when the monitor targeted the innocent Su Xiaoxiao, Qin Feng couldn’t tolerate it.
Looking at Su Xiaoxiao now.
Even though the monitor had come up to her, Su Xiaoxiao still held her ground and stared back.
"What do you want?"
"Are you going to do something to me?"
Su Xiaoxiao spoke defiantly, moving closer to the monitor until they were almost touching.
"So what if I do?"
The monitor remained arrogant and unrepentant.
"Do something!"
In front of everyone, the monitor slapped Su Xiaoxiao, pushing her backward and causing her to fall to the ground.
Thud!
Su Xiaoxiao looked up at the monitor in disbelief.
"What will you do after hitting me?"
The monitor was still arrogant, showing no signs of regret.
"Hey! You big man, how dare you hit a woman? Do you even know what kind of behavior this is?"
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao pushed down, Qin Feng couldn’t hold back any longer.
He didn’t expect the monitor to be such a bully, targeting only those he thought he could intimidate. It was utterly disgusting!
"Trying to be a hero now?"
Seeing Qin Feng approaching, the monitor showed a smug smile.
"So what?"
Qin Feng said, clenching his fist, ready to strike.
No matter how tall he was, it didn’t matter.
Although Qin Feng had been reborn, his years of experience made him more than capable of dealing with someone like the monitor.
The other students in the class watched with a sense of anticipation, not intervening.
As they expected the two to fight, the monitor didn’t defend himself. Instead, he shouted loudly.
"Help! Qin Feng
