Chapter 234: A Different Teacher Han Qiuyue

"Brother Lang, you are planning to open a hotel? How much money would that take?"

Huang Hairong asked after a moment of shock. Opening a hotel was unimaginable for someone from a working-class Family.

"About tens of millions," Zhou Lang said.

Huang Hairong was stunned upon hearing this. He had assumed Zhou Lang was like Wang Zheng—a rich second-generation kid who didn't earn his own money but spent his parents'. Usually, parents would only give a few million for indulgence. A project costing tens of millions would hurt any parent's heart. Thus, he felt he had underestimated Zhou Lang's background.

"In that case, it must be at least a star-rated hotel," Zhou Jianping said after a pause.

"Yes, five-star," Zhou Lang said with a faint smile.

"It seems our lives for the next half of our lives are settled. We wasted our four years of university, and we actually regret it because we don't know how to explain it to our families, given how much money they spent on our studies over these years."

The big guy Li Ning said, "Brother Lang, don't worry. If the three of us can really join your hotel, we will work hard and definitely won't shame you."

Zhou Jianping and Li Ning nodded as well. Clearly, these three guys knew they needed to work hard.

"Give me your card numbers," Zhou Lang said, feeling slightly relieved that his three roommates weren't completely hopeless.

Zhou Jianping, Li Ning, and Huang Hairong quickly took out their bank cards.

In less than a minute, all three received text messages; Zhou Lang had transferred 100,000 yuan to each of their cards.

"This 100,000 is a loan from me, which will be deducted from your future salaries. Use it to buy some clothes or whatever. I'll contact 'Rose', 'First Love', and 'Little Xue' first, then call you over later so you can get familiar with each other and grow closer," Zhou Lang said.

"Thank you, Brother Lang."

Huang Hairong and the others were beaming. They had never had so much money in their accounts before. Now that they had these dating funds, they had a bit more confidence.

"You guys continue watching your videos; I'll rest here for a bit," Zhou Lang said, lying down on his old bed.

"Then we'll close the dorm door and wake you up when it's time for class," Li Ning said. "Should we stop watching?"

"Keep watching. I sleep very soundly; a little noise won't disturb me," Zhou Lang smiled.

Li Ning and the others felt that Zhou Lang hadn't changed at all in front of them, so they continued watching, just lowering the volume a little.

When he was sharing the Violet Apartment with Zhao Xiaorou, Zhou Lang had moved all his things away. On his bunk, only a straw mat remained. As soon as he lay down, he activated his Divine Thought and immediately entered the ancestral copper coin, "Qiankun Palace". Last time, his attempts to practice some simple talisman arts hadn't been successful, so now that he had time, he seized the opportunity to practice.

Li Ning and the others only knew that Zhou Lang had a powerful background and was very rich; they had no idea Zhou Lang was a Cultivator. If they knew, they would probably be begging on their knees for him to teach them some skills so they could become awesome too.

…

Ten minutes before the afternoon class, Zhou Lang woke up automatically. Although he was practicing talisman arts in the "Qiankun Palace", he actually kept a sliver of his Divine Thought outside, so he knew what was happening.

Arriving at the classroom, Zhou Lang immediately became the focus.

"Brother Lang."

"Brother Lang, you're here."

Everyone in the class greeted him with a smile.

This had never happened before. Previously, except for Huang Hairong and a few others, most people followed Wang Zheng. In the eyes of his classmates, Zhou Lang, who relied on part-time jobs to pay tuition, was just a penniless loser whom no one wanted to bother with. After all, this was an era that valued wealth.

But after the events of Friday night, everyone knew Zhou Lang's background was Heaven-Defying and that he had just been too low-key before. Now, no one dared to offend him.

Zhou Lang didn't care much about the sycophantic classmates; after all, most people in the world were like this. So, he just smiled politely at these fair-weather friends and sat in the back row.

"Brother Lang… can I sit here?"

A shy, delicate voice rang out. The class beauty, Cao Jingci, walked over and spoke to Zhou Lang.

"Anyone can sit in any seat," Zhou Lang said nonchalantly.

"Thank you."

Cao Jingci bowed slightly to Zhou Lang and sat down next to him.

Cao Jingci used to dress very sexily. In the summer and autumn, she basically wore camisoles and hot pants, or short skirts, desperately showing off her beautiful legs. But today, she was dressed quite purely, wearing a white dress, and her hair was simply draped behind her back.

Clearly, this woman intended to please Zhou Lang, guessing that he liked pure girls and didn't like those who were too open.

It must be said that Cao Jingci dressed this way looked much better than when she took the sexy route, so many boys were drooling while secretly peeking at her.

They knew Wang Zheng probably couldn't stay at this school anymore, and Cao Jingci, as Wang Zheng's woman, would likely change hands. For most boys, finding a beautiful girlfriend was good enough; they didn't care that Cao Jingci had been slept with by Wang Zheng.

However, since Cao Jingci had taken the initiative to sit with Zhou Lang, her intentions were obvious. Even if the boys in the class had ideas about her, they wouldn't dare to hit on her in front of Zhou Lang. After offending Zhou Lang, Wang Zheng had to kneel and kowtow to beg for forgiveness; no one was stupid enough to offend Zhou Lang.

But Zhou Lang was looking straight ahead at his book, his eyes never once falling on Cao Jingci, as if there was no one beside him.

Cao Jingci stole glances at Zhou Lang from time to time. Zhou Lang's complete indifference made her feel uneasy and a bit disappointed. She clearly remembered that when she first started her freshman year, before she and Wang Zheng established a relationship, the boys in the class loved to sit with her, peek at her, and find topics to talk to her to get close. But now, Zhou Lang completely treated her like air. This feeling of being ignored made her extremely frustrated.

"Brother Lang, I'm actually not the same kind of person as Wang Zheng. Back then, I was close to him because I was oppressed by him," Cao Jingci whispered to Zhou Lang after much hesitation.

"That has nothing to do with me, right?" Zhou Lang said coldly, directly shutting down her conversation.

Cao Jingci couldn't continue.

Soon, the class bell rang, and Teacher Han Qiuyue walked in.

"Before we officially start class, I have two things to tell everyone," Teacher Han Qiuyue stood on the podium, scanned the class, and said.

"The first thing is that student Wang Zheng has dropped out," Teacher Han Qiuyue said. "I am genuinely happy about his withdrawal because he is a person with corrupt morals. One takes on the attributes of one's associates; I don't want you to have any dealings with such people in the future."

Teacher Han Qiuyue used to think Wang Zheng was a good student, but after the incident at Brother Wei KTV last Friday, she knew Wang Zheng was a complete scumbag. That night, she had left the KTV box alone, cursing herself all the way for being blind enough to think that an arrogant, lawless rich second-generation kid like Wang Zheng was a good person.

"Wang Zheng dropped out?"

"He definitely had to drop out. After kowtowing in front of Brother Lang in front of the whole class, he lost all his Face."

"He even wanted to hit on Teacher Han, and actually did unseemly things with Cao Jingci in front of her. He is just too lawless."

…

After Teacher Han Qiuyue said this, many people in the class whispered.

Wang Zheng wouldn't be coming to Dianxi University anymore, so they breathed a sigh of relief. Most of the class had spent over three years in university following Wang Zheng's lead, and that experience was truly unpleasant.

Zhou Lang didn't speak; he continued reading. He had long expected it. Wang Zheng was a person who cared about his Face; having lost all his dignity in front of him, he would definitely drop out.

"Everyone, quiet down," after the students whispered for a few minutes, Teacher Han Qiuyue signaled for everyone to be quiet.

Once Teacher Han Qiuyue spoke, the class fell completely silent, because everyone knew she was about to mention the second thing.

"Wang Zheng has dropped out, so the position of class monitor is vacant. We need to elect a new one. Does anyone have a suitable candidate to recommend?" Teacher Han Qiuyue said.

"Of course, Zhou Lang should be the class monitor," Huang Hairong said first. Zhou Lang had a background but no airs, and he was willing to help them find girlfriends and consider their future. He genuinely respected Zhou Lang.

"Then tell me, what qualifications does Zhou Lang have to be this class monitor?" Teacher Han Qiuyue asked immediately. Although she had left Brother Wei KTV early on Friday night, she had heard about everything that happened later from others. She knew she had misjudged; the seemingly loser-like Zhou Lang was actually a person with a powerful background.

"Zhou Lang studies well, is gentle, and is motivated," Li Ning said.

"That's right, I nominate Zhou Lang for class monitor," Zhou Jianping said too.

"Zhou Lang is the most suitable person to be the class monitor," not only Huang Hairong and the other two, but Cao Jingci also spoke up.

"We all support Zhou Lang as class monitor."

Most of the class were fair-weather friends. When they followed Wang Zheng before, they looked down on Zhou Lang and had offended him. Some were worried about retaliation, so they dared not offend him again on this matter, and thus one by one, they supported Zhou Lang.

"Zhou Lang is not suitable to be the class monitor," but unexpectedly, Teacher Han Qiuyue said directly, "Everyone should choose someone else."

"If Brother Lang isn't the class monitor, it's hard to choose anyone else," Huang Hairong muttered.

Sure enough, after Teacher Han Qiuyue rejected Zhou Lang, no one else nominated anyone else, and no one volunteered.

"Since you can't choose a suitable candidate, let's start class first," Teacher Han Qiuyue said helplessly. It seemed she still had some prejudices against Zhou Lang. Although she felt she had misjudged him before, she still felt that Zhou Lang shouldn't be the class monitor.

Soon, the class was over.

"Zhou Lang, come to the office with me," Teacher Han Qiuyue said to Zhou Lang before leaving the classroom after class.

"I didn't go to PE class, she's probably looking to pick a bone with me," Zhou Lang smiled bitterly, got up, and followed Teacher Han Qiuyue into her office.

"Zhou Lang, do you know why I opposed you being the class monitor today?" As soon as they entered the office, Teacher Han Qiuyue asked.

"Of course I know, isn't it because I skipped class today?" Zhou Lang said with a faint smile.

"You think it's glorious that you skipped class?"

Teacher Han Qiuyue's Face stiffened as she stared at Zhou Lang. After knowing Zhou Lang had a deep background, everyone gave him Face, except for her, who remained the same as before.

However, because of this, Zhou Lang felt that Teacher Han Qiuyue was a bit special and different from the others.
