Chapter 204: Chapter 204

As soon as Zhang Aijun spoke, Wang Jianming’s heart was completely at ease. Some people were definitely doomed.

Many teachers who followed behind all listened intently. Everyone knew that Zhang Aijun was a lackey of Ge Hongmei, her helper.

But now this very lackey suddenly betrayed Ge Hongmei. One wonders how heartbroken that girl must be.

If it were possible, it would be great if Ge Hongmei could drag Zhang Aijun down with her, though Zhang Aijun usually behaved well in school, he had committed his share of bullying.

Whenever people saw Zhang Aijun, they would think of the things Ge Hongmei did, but even if he wasn’t implicated, it wouldn’t matter.

As long as Ge Hongmei, the pillar, fell, could Zhang Aijun still have good days ahead?

Ge Hongmei’s mind went blank with a buzzing sound, furious that Zhang Aijun dared to betray her, as a dog would betray its master.

Completely irrational, Ge Hongmei disregarded the current situation, fixated only on venting her discontent.

"Good, Zhang Aijun, if it weren’t for my dad, you’d still be farming in some remote valley."

"My dad was right; you’re just a dirt farmer and you’ll never amount to anything."

"Why did I ever think of backing you up back then?"

Initially, some might not have believed Zhang Aijun, but Ge Hongmei herself suddenly exposed everything, dragging her father into it.

Ah, could this guy really be so brainless, Gong Ruini was stunned.

Zhao Xuran was also shocked, never having seen such a thoughtless person, hurting herself and dragging her father down too.

Doesn’t she realize it could bring her father down as well?

If the backing were still there, things might not be so bad after a few low-profile years. But astonishingly, she dug out the support herself—a truly foolish ally.

Wang Jianming nearly went mad with joy. How could something this simple—a transfer student taking an exam—resolve a long-standing issue of his that seemed insurmountable? Truly a huge piece of good news.

No, he had to keep it together, Wang Jianming worked hard to suppress his smile, not wanting people to see his excitement.

The situation was so silent, with everyone waiting for Ge Hongmei’s outburst, that despite the number of people, the place felt still.

This thrilled Zhao Gang, who returned unexpectedly, especially since an important person heard the conversation.

Some things went so smoothly it seemed like a rehearsal to Zhao Gang, regardless of how the situation progressed to this point—a great benefit had arrived, and he was just waiting to reap it.

Xia Hongbo had just been transferred to the commune as secretary earlier this year. Though he was thriving in his previous unit, since moving here, he felt oppressed by the commune chief, Xia Yonggen.

Even as secretary, he couldn’t match Xia Yonggen, who was a local deeply entrenched here over the years, with connections beyond his reach.

He hadn’t expected that just by casually wandering around, such a great opportunity would present itself, one Xia Hongbo wouldn’t miss.

Unfortunately, it was Ge Yonggen’s daughter, Ge Hongmei, at fault. Yet, it didn’t matter; Xia Hongbo had ways to drag Xia Yonggen into it. Seizing this opportunity, he intended to crush Xia Yonggen, allowing no room for comeback. This update ıs available on novel✶fire.net

Who would have thought a shrewd person like Ge Yonggen would have such a foolish daughter, who sold him out publicly?

Xia Hongbo was thoroughly delighted, highly satisfied with the informant next to him—truly his lucky star.

"What’s going on, looking down on farmers?" Xia Hongbo spoke harshly, thinking of having the only voice in the commune, and assumed an even more authoritative stance.

The onlookers, hearing someone speaking with official tones from behind, naturally turned to look, secretly pleased.

Even if their sources weren’t very clear, they knew the newcomer had a strained relationship with the commune chief, Xia Yonggen, reluctant even to maintain pleasantries.

Don’t let Zhang Aijun’s swift betrayal of Ge Hongmei deceive you; he was quite nervous himself. With Ge Hongmei down, there was still Ge Yonggen to deal with; would he have an easy time then?

He never imagined such a good opportunity awaited him, leaving Zhang Aijun with little hesitation as he prepared to cling to Xia Hongbo.

"Secretary Xia, good day. I accuse Ge Hongmei, a teacher who looks down on farmers."

As an ex-red youth, accusations came naturally, especially since Ge Hongmei had said many things without considering Zhang Aijun, and much about the Ge family that he now exposed one by one.

Good heavens, this guy is a bona fide little traitor, once a lackey for Ge Hongmei, now swapping allegiances smoothly, facing the new pillar, a shamelessly thick-skinned individual.

Gong Ruini looked at Ge Hongmei with pity, how she ended up with such a collaborator, who betrays people so swiftly.

One wonders if Ge Hongmei regrets it now. Judging by her murderous eyes, she must be furious, but alas, no knife in hand, or who knows if she’d rush over to chop up Zhang Aijun.

"What are you looking at, do you know your words are seditious?"

"Still refusing to learn." Zhang Aijun looked at the furious Ge Hongmei, feeling quite good.

Lately, Zhang Aijun hadn’t received any fewer scoldings from Ge Hongmei, but aside from enduring silently, what could he do? He didn’t want to go back to being a poor farmer.

He never imagined that the sufferings he endured would reward him so greatly, naturally exhilarating for Zhang Aijun.

"I’ve seen many stubborn types ; making her talk won’t be hard." Xia Hongbo declared his determination to open Ge Hongmei’s mouth and subdue Xia Yonggen.

To prevent Xia Yonggen from snatching her away, Xia Hongbo quickly had his men bring the car and took Zhang Aijun along to escort Ge Hongmei away.

Wang Jianming felt thrilled watching these two troublemakers leave. Although a few disobedient people stayed at the school, with Ge Hongmei suppressed, those people should be relatively quiet.

What’s most important now is to have Zhao Gang and his group leave. If Ge Yonggen came to the rescue but didn’t manage to take the person, who knows if he might vent his frustration on Zhao Gang and the rest? So the best move is to retreat.

"You should go first; take the test in a few days." Actually, if it weren’t for wanting to avoid any slip-ups, Wang Jianming would rather say skip the exam.

Solving the problem of those two nuisances for the school should undoubtedly secure enrollment slots for Gong Ruini and the others. Not forgetting the behind-the-scenes hero who solved these issues so efficiently.

"Alright." Zhao Gang agreed, stating that without news of Xia Yonggen’s downfall, he wouldn’t send any children for the test or enrollment, given the many adversaries they couldn’t contend with.
