"Smack!"

Ma Wei snatched the pen from Ye Xiao's hand, but before he had time to react, he suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes, and then his face felt as if it had made intimate contact with a sheet of iron. Shortly after, he found himself face down on the ground!

That was not the end of it. Ye Xiao stood up, stepped on Ma Wei, didn't say a word, and instead stretched out his hand to take back his pen from Ma Wei's grip!

At this moment, everyone was stunned. Was this some kind of joke? In front of the principal, he had just slapped a teacher, and it wasn't over yet. He actually stepped on the teacher's back, and moreover, Ye Xiao's face bore no hint of anger but was instead graced by a faint smile!

"You dare hit me?" It was only after Ma Wei had been knocked down and his pen taken away by Ye Xiao that he realized what had happened.

Ye Xiao ignored everyone present, bent over, and with a smile in his eyes, looked down at Ma Wei lying on the ground, unable to move under his foot, and said, "Yes, you're quite clever. I did hit you, and now you are beneath my foot, my teacher!"

"You…" Ma Wei heard Ye Xiao's words and was indescribably shocked.

My goodness, what kind of student was this!

"What are you doing, student?" Some of the school leaders who had come with Yao Zhengming didn't recognize Ye Xiao, so they immediately shouted at him!

Ye Xiao didn't look up but continued to address Ma Wei, "Didn't you say that if I didn't leave, you would? Now, you can leave!"

Ma Wei and the school leader who had just shouted at Ye Xiao wanted to laugh upon hearing Ye Xiao's words. It was simply beyond their imagination – could this student be out of his mind? Since when had it been that the teacher was chased away by the student, rather than the other way around? Wasn't this nonsense?

"Call security!" The school leader who had been shouting angrily just moments ago, spoke to a colleague of a lower rank in a very furious tone!

However, that leader, miraculously, didn't listen and instead turned his gaze towards Yao Zhengming, who was standing beside him.

"I'm saying, why don't you go find security!"

All of a sudden, Yao Zhengming turned to that shouting school leader, his face extremely embarrassed, ten times worse than when he had heard from Ma Wei that there was a student who didn't care about him!

"What do we need security for?" Yao Zhengming said coldly, glaring at the so-called school leader!

The school leader hadn't realized what was going on and immediately said to Yao Zhengming, "Of course, to expel this student from school! This student is not worthy of being a student at Minghai Academy, Principal Yao, I know you are kind-hearted, but we must not condone such students!"

Having already been annoyed by the past behavior and words of this school leader and Ma Wei in front of him and Ye Xiao, Yao Zhengming really didn't want to criticize his subordinate, as he had been quite loyal to him. But now Yao Zhengming simply couldn't hold back any longer!

"As a teacher in a school, a figure of authority, you actually stoop to argue over petty issues with a student and even consider expelling a student over a trivial matter? I want to ask, aren't you afraid of disheartening other students present here? Let me tell you, this is a school, not a place for your misdeeds. What's that teacher's name!" Yao Zhengming's face was so icily stern as he righteously scolded his subordinate and Ma Wei!

At this point, it was not just Ma Wei and that so-called leader who were surprised; everyone present was extremely astonished, because they truly couldn't understand what was going on. What had gotten into Yao Zhengming? Why had he come here with the attitude of causing trouble for this student, but now he was venting all his anger on both Ma Wei and the other person instead?

"Principal Yao, this isn't right. But this student…" The leader, still not having grasped the situation, looked at Yao Zhengming again. He really did not understand why Yao Zhengming was so angry with him, so it seemed he wanted to explain, to let Yao Zhengming know just how terrible this student was!

After all, at this point, Ma Wei was being stepped on by Ye Xiao, which was extremely humiliating for an on-duty teacher!

But before Ma Wei had said anything, Yao Zhengming immediately pointed at his subordinate's nose and bellowed, "Suspended without pay, you can go home now!"

Ah—

Everyone was stunned, including the students present at that moment, none of whom had expected Principal Yao to directly suspend the leader's duties. Yes, this person was a leader at the school, but when it came down to it, he was just one of Yao Zhengming's men. Without Deng Yuanfeng present, Yao Zhengming was the boss of the school, with the power to hire and fire all teachers. So, when Yao Zhengming said the guy was suspended, he was absolutely not joking!

Thus, when Yao Zhengming finished speaking, this school leader, who had just been exuding a stern and overbearing presence, was struck dumb!

He couldn't believe that these words were addressed to him by Yao Zhengming. He had just been a leader at the school, courted by many, but at this moment, with just one sentence from Yao Zhengming, he was turned into the most ordinary of persons, even lower than a regular teacher—after all, a regular teacher still had a salary to fall back on!

"Still standing here?" Yao Zhengming, seeing his subordinate standing motionless, became even more irritated and inwardly cursed that his man was an idiot. In this moment, if they didn't make Ye Xiao happy, not only would he be suspended without pay, but he might well be fired outright!

The teacher seemed not to have come to his senses and immediately said to Yao Zhengming, "Principal Yao, I need to explain this thing!"

"You're fired!" Yao Zhengming, not wanting to listen to this fool's nonsense anymore, was plain and simple. What he feared most now was upsetting Ye Xiao. Though Principal Yao was indeed the highest authority in the school, he himself knew that Ye Xiao's face must be given priority, no matter what, or he might not be able to sit securely on his principal's throne!

Hadn't his own nephew said it? He had to deal with Ye Xiao, but so far, Ye Xiao was still perfectly fine, standing in this classroom and taking the exam as if nothing had happened. So, Yao Zhengming truly dared not provoke Ye Xiao!

That now unemployed leader was even more stunned, still wanting to explain, but instead was stopped by a colleague next to him and pushed out of the classroom door!

At this moment, Ye Xiao looked at Yao Zhengming with a smile and said, "Principal Yao, truly wise and martial, handling matters with acute insight, just like a reincarnation of a clear-sky magistrate. I propose we should all give Principal Yao a round of applause!"

As soon as Ye Xiao finished speaking, Ling Shuya, Zhou Yuyan, Lan Lan, Tang Xuewen, and Wei Yang, started clapping first, and the other students, seeing some actually clapped, immediately followed suit!

The seriousness on Yao Zhengming's face vanished in an instant. He walked up to Ye Xiao, not even looking at Ma Wei lying on the ground being stepped on by Ye Xiao, and said, "Ye Xiao, are you okay? The quality of some teachers at our school really does need to be improved. Rest assured, Ye Xiao, the school promises to provide you and every student present with the best possible education. The teaching staff of Minghai Academy must also be the best in the city and even the province!"

Ye Xiao immediately chuckled and said to Yao Zhengming, "Principal Yao, that's very well said. I believe under your leadership, Minghai Academy will certainly thrive. However, there's one thing I just don't know what to do about, so I would like to ask for your guidance, Principal Yao."

Principal Yao hurriedly said, "Ye Xiao, please speak. The school will do its best to accommodate student requests!"

Ye Xiao glanced at Ma Wei under his foot and said to Yao Zhengming, "It's like this, I don't know what this teacher's name is, he was proctoring here, and I had a stomachache and had to go to the bathroom. As a result, I came back late, and honestly, I do also think this was my fault. But this teacher insisted on not letting me take the exam and even tried to drive me away, saying if I didn't leave, then he would. I don't know if he's a qualified teacher or not, perhaps he is. So, what I want to say to Principal Yao is, am I going to be expelled by the school?"

With a face full of innocence and surrender, Ye Xiao at that moment managed to infuriate not only the students but also teachers like Ma Wei, who could clearly see that Ye Xiao was faking it!

However, Principal Yao, with a very serious expression, quickly assured Ye Xiao, "Ye Xiao, don't worry about this—the teacher's name is Ma Wei, and I have long known he is not a qualified teacher. I just didn't have the evidence to catch him in the act until now. For him to threaten a good student is intolerable. Ye Xiao, please sit down and continue your exam. This teacher has already been fired as of this moment, and if he continues to stay here, then he is trespassing at Minghai Academy, and that is something for the Guard Bureau to deal with!"

Ma Wei was shocked. He had never imagined that he, a formal employee of Minghai Academy with considerable benefits, had treated the school as a retirement home. But today, not only did he lose his dignity in front of many people, but he also lost his job!

After Principal Yao finished speaking, Ye Xiao immediately withdrew his foot and sat back in his place, and what was even more absurd was that he began to answer the exam questions very seriously, as if nothing had just happened!

"Principal Yao, you can't fire me, you can't fire me, Principal Yao, I'm really not wrong, it's all Ye Xiao's fault, not mine!" Ma Wei stood up and yelled at Yao Zhengming.

But Yao Zhengming was unmoved, gave Ma Wei a glare, and turned to walk away!
