C522 – What the Hell Is This?

Xie Haijun was on the verge of tears.

​One after another, they came up, each more unreliable than the last.

At last, a truly dependable one arrived!

Oh, my heart!

This one shines!

It emerged only after countless calls.

Finally, a proper candidate appeared.

If another unserious one had shown up...

Forget it!

I might as well close the school and quit being the principal.

You should have seen the students’ faces just now.

They looked absolutely dreadful.

They all felt like their futures were suddenly bleak, you know?

​But this, this is great!

Someone from the medical field.

They must make a lot of money, so it’s normal for them to take on more students.

I’m confident that there are students here who will meet the criteria.

“Could this student please introduce themselves?”

Xie Haijun was brimming with excitement.

The students below also perked up.

At last, a real heavy-hitter had arrived.

The impressive type!

We were filled with anticipation.

​This big brother, dressed to the nines, stood at the center of the stage, taking small, deliberate steps, hands on his hips.

Impressive, indeed.

“Ladies and gentlemen, fellow students, esteemed teachers, and leaders.”

​He enunciated each word with precision, the last syllable rising with flair.

Xie Haijun gave a nod of approval.

Hmm!

Now that’s talent!

Typically, that’s how leaders speak!

Tsk, tsk, tsk!

At last, a good one.

“Over the years,”

“As your senior, I’ve been through the wringer in the working world.”

“And just like that, my annual salary hit 3 million.”

“How did I manage it?”

“Let me share with you my journey to financial success.”

The big brother’s speech was slow and deliberate.

He drew out his words with a certain flair.

​He had us all convinced.

“For years, I’ve been involved with Amway.”

“It’s a veritable treasure trove for wealth.”

“Our company is currently promoting a cancer treatment device based on quantum mechanics.”

“Just use this device, and cancer vanishes instantly.”

“Can you imagine the potential here, how much money you could make?”

“With this device, earning millions annually is no longer just a dream.”

“And remember, you can’t keep this lucrative opportunity to yourselves—you’ve got to spread the word.”

“We can expand our network.”

“Get your family, friends, and parents involved.”

“There’s a saying that goes, ‘When there’s money to be made, everyone profits.'”

“That’s the real path to wealth.”

As he spoke, something seemed off.

Principal Xie was initially beaming with joy.

But as he listened, his brow furrowed.

His expression grew increasingly sour.

It was all over.

Completely over.

The school had specifically recruited top talent this time.

And what was the outcome?

What about the offline joint activity center? The software development technology company?

Turns out it was just a damn internet café.

That made countless girls green with envy over those selling luxury goods.

And in the end, it was a pork vendor.

And this guy, he looked decent enough.

But in the end?

He was involved in a pyramid scheme.

Dragging him out for execution would be letting him off easy!

But let’s leave that aside.

Several elderly professors had fainted.

The sound of emergency services filled the entrance.

Thankfully,

There were medical and nursing schools nearby.

Several of the teachers on stage were hospital doctors,

ready to provide immediate first aid.

Otherwise,

it would have been a total disaster.

Xie Haijun sat in his chair, face in hands.

He sighed deeply.

Maybe I should just give up.

I could just join Mr. Su and work the land.

One by one, the people who came forward were more outrageous than the last.

Initially, these students had some hope.

Even without jobs, they had some drive.

But look at them now.

Their expressions blank.

Their eyes lifeless.

Their futures bleak.

They had lost all motivation.

At this point, not even a dynamo could energize them.

“Cough, cough!”

Just then,

Meng Haitao stood up.

It was his moment to shine!

“Don’t worry about Principal Xie and the others not taking things seriously; I’m totally reliable!”

Meng Haitao approached the host, took the microphone with a beaming smile, and began to speak.

The students below,

far from feeling hopeful, sank deeper into despair.

Although the first few were not exactly reliable, they at least looked presentable.

What on earth is this?

Are you planning to put on an acrobatics show?

Take it easy. These stage planks are pretty old.

Try not to put a dent in them.

“You think you can handle it?”

Meng Haitao had expected Xie Haijun to be thrilled, but instead, Xie Haijun looked up with an expression of sheer skepticism.

Meng Haitao nearly choked on his own frustration.

I’m so incredible, how could I not handle it?

“Don’t worry, Principal Xie, I feel confident it will work!”

“It’s all under control, you can count on me!”

“Hey, could someone pass me a towel to wipe my face?”

Meng Haitao’s face was a sticky mess of paint and sweat, and it was extremely uncomfortable.

“Xue, could you grab a towel for Meng Haitao?”

Principal Xie turned to Liang Xue standing nearby.
