Chapter 18

This must be fake!

Even Professor Liu was somewhat dazed, and then asked the child in detail about his thought process for solving the problem.

He Lingfeng felt a bit nervous, especially when he stood up and all eyes were on him.

This added to his nervousness.

But he saw Shen Wei's encouraging gaze, which gave him motivation.

He Lingfeng spoke in a childish voice, explaining his thought process for solving the problem.

As Professor Liu listened, his eyes grew brighter.

"Sit down."

It was truly as he had wished, to have someone attending his class, and at such a young age.

He Lingfeng's small display of ability instantly dispelled Professor Liu's gloom.

Soon, the dismissal bell rang, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Those present didn't know if the child's answer was right or wrong, as Professor Liu didn't give him a hard time. They hurriedly posted about it online.

But after class, Professor Liu called He Lingfeng and Shen Wei into his office.

He was solely curious about the child: "How old are you this year?"

"I'm 5 years old."

"Have you studied math before?"

The child nodded.

Professor Liu asked, "Do you like math?"

The child's eyes lit up as he nodded, and then Professor Liu gave him a problem.

It was a junior high school math problem, but the child solved it smoothly, writing the steps clearly.

Professor Liu was astonished.

If he hadn't seen the child do it with his own eyes, he would have thought he was seeing things.

Then he posed a more difficult problem, covering high school knowledge, and the child wrote the correct steps again, leaving Professor Liu even more amazed!

Shen Wei said from the side, "He's just interested in math. So I brought him to attend your lecture. I hope I didn't disturb you."

Then she showed Professor Liu her student ID.

Professor Liu looked at the child's eyes, shining brightly, and said, "Good, you can come to all my classes from now on."

"Really? Thank you, Grandpa," the child said sweetly.

Professor Liu said, "Study hard. If those older students can't keep up with you, let's see if they're embarrassed!"

He suddenly found motivation to keep teaching.

A 5-year-old prodigy!

Studying math well is nurturing talent for the nation.

He Lingfeng had gained Professor Liu's favor.

Shen Wei was also delighted, as she could have a professor-level teacher teaching He Lingfeng for free.

Today, they were confronted by an unruly woman, a female colleague no less, leaving them at a loss.

This middle-aged woman was like a rolling blade of meat, and seeing Teacher Tang's reaction only inflamed her arrogance further.

"What did I think this was? Just some trashy kindergarten. No wonder you can't make any money. You even dared to sue me! Fine, I'll make sure you don't get a single cent. I have connections above!"

"Recruiting with just a 260 yuan tuition fee, attracting a bunch of poor people. What good is that?"

Although she said that, the 260 yuan tuition had still dealt a significant blow to her own kindergarten.

Previously, they charged 2,800 to 3,500 yuan in tuition. Many people had enrolled, but now many were starting to wait and see.

This was affecting her income stream, making the middle-aged woman increasingly angry. She went over directly, knowing full well Teacher Tang's gentle nature and that she wouldn't fight back.

Shen Wei was furious. "This is no place for you to throw a tantrum. If you keep this up, I'll call the police. Teacher Tang has already settled the lawsuit with you. Continuing to insult her is defamation of character."

But foul-mouthed shrews were always ready to kick up a fuss, not caring about things like character.

Without warning, little Ning Fubao ran out, just a baby himself, but still trying to support Teacher Tang in his own way: "Teacher Tang isn't what you say she is." Then he cried piteously.

Teacher Tang felt a pang of sympathy and hugged Fubao, the poor child's crying growing hoarse.

This further emboldened the shrew. Just then, a bucket of slop water was dumped on her from above, a mix of rotten eggs, vegetable leaves, and greasy dishwater, sticky and foul.

The one who poured it was He Lingfeng.

He pulled Ning Fubao aside and said, "Don't cry anymore, we have to fight back!"

He had been skipping rope and such recently, going from a weakling to a sturdy child, so dumping a bucket of water was no problem!

The situation had been too chaotic, and Shen Wei was so busy arguing with the shrew that she hadn't noticed He Lingfeng at all.

But she had to admit, that bucket of water really packed a punch.

The shrew was completely stunned.

At that moment, Doctor Lu said, "I've recorded the threatening words you just said. You'll be paying compensation for sure when we go to arbitration." Civilized people have civilized methods.

The shrewish woman claimed not to care, but in truth, she had never been to the arbitration bureau.

Legal matters can't be taken lightly. She even wanted to throw a tantrum and roll around on the ground.

Hearing He Lingfeng's words, Ning Fubao immediately wanted to go with the little kid to get some dishwater.

Shen Wei couldn't help but laugh through her tears. He Lingfeng was indeed true to his villainous role.

Although he was still a child, his villainous character was already showing. He never let himself be bullied and had strong persuasive powers, even leading the obedient Ning Fubao astray.

The shrewish woman didn't want to be doused with another basin of water.

If it were an adult doing it, she could still try to extort money, but now she just felt too ashamed to show her face, with her makeup smeared all over.

Although there weren't many people around, she could feel everyone staring.

She had never been so humiliated before.

The shrewish woman left with a cold warning, "You'll all be sorry!" before slinking away.

Everyone went to console Teacher Tang, "Don't mind what that beast said."

Teacher Tang's eyes were red-rimmed as she thanked her colleagues.

But Shen Wei was thinking about something else.

The gatekeeper had to get back to his post right away, there was no time to waste.

It seemed that the atmosphere at Starry Sky Kindergarten had recently taken a turn for the worse, stirring up trouble for some people. She had to take preventive measures.
