Chapter 2191 - 2392: An Unexpected Surprise

Everyone was staring in shock at what was happening, except for one person who remained calm, and that was Hao Jian. Although he slapped Mother Gu, he felt justified and had no restlessness. He had wanted to slap this woman for a long time but had been holding back.

This time, she crossed his line, and he couldn't hold back anymore, and immediately delivered a slap. Calling others disgusting bitches, not realizing she herself has the face of one, adorned with gold and silver, heavily made-up, exuding a nouveau riche aura from head to toe. It's puzzling how such parents could produce a tall and handsome son like Gu Peng; perhaps Gu Peng's real parents are yet to be determined.

After slapping Mother Gu, he stood there calmly, showing that anyone daring to speak ill of Li Weiwei would end up like her.

The first to speak was the principal. It was a fatal blow for him; the school's biggest shareholder being slapped by a student. It might cost him his position. In outrage, he pointed at Hao Jian and said, "Good job, Hao Jian! Let me tell you, you've already been expelled by the school, you're no longer a student of Yawen. Get out of Yawen."

Mother Gu, holding her face, also shouted, "No way, he hit my son and now me. This isn't over until his parents are called here for a good explanation and then expulsion. Can their family compensate?"

Father Gu was also furious, nearly rushing to brawl with Hao Jian, pointing at Hao Jian and Li Weiwei, angrily saying, "Violence—it's clear what kind of teacher breeds what kind of student. They're colluding wolves; not only should the student be expelled, but the teacher as well."

Before, there was hesitation over expelling Li Weiwei, such a key player, considering it unwise, but now, even the position may not be secure, leaving no time to worry about future consequences. Appeasing the biggest shareholder takes precedence.

The principal again pointed at Li Weiwei, saying, "Expelled, you're expelled too. Pack up your things and get lost."

"If Teacher Li goes, we go too!" shouted Liang Xiaohan from the crowd.

As Liang Xiaohan shouted, more students who were initially hesitant began to rally, creating a commotion. The principal's office was relatively larger than others, but now it was crowded inside, with more gathering outside. Curious onlookers also gathered to see what was happening.

Only Hao Jian remained calm, suddenly gesturing for silence, then following Liang Xiaohan's lead, all students fell silent.

At this moment, Hao Jian walked up to Father Gu and suddenly asked, "Remember the question I asked you before? Do you know who I am?"

Father Gu, still furious, thinking only of expelling and punishing Hao Jian to relieve his anger, retorted, "Who are you? How should I know! I only know you've offended me, and you're in big trouble."

Hao Jian smiled, saying, "Alright, since you don't know, let me enlighten you. Hold on, let me make a call."

"Call your parents!" Father Gu sneered, "What good would bringing your parents here do? You've offended me; your life might be over."

Everyone watched Hao Jian in silence, and Hao Jian quietly took out his phone and dialed a familiar number. The number happened to belong to Spice Ginger. Although they were in different cities, one in Hua City and the other in Yun City, Spice Ginger was renowned for his capabilities and influence.

If something needed to be handled by him, it wouldn't take much effort.

"What's your company's name?" Hao Jian suddenly asked Father Gu.

Father Gu was slightly confused but had come to disregard Hao Jian. Daring to offend him, he was letting him walk a path to ruin, calmly saying, "Gu Corporation!"

With that, Hao Jian quickly explained a few things to Spice Ginger, who nodded in agreement. Hao Jian hadn't called him in a long time, and suddenly this small matter came up; though minor, since Hao Jian asked, he would handle it well.

Hao Jian's request was for Gu Corporation in Yun City to start declining in five minutes and slowly collapse. Spice Ginger, having many financial experts under him, handled it effortlessly, promising the effect would be seen in under four minutes.

After hanging up, Hao Jian pocketed the phone and turned to Father Gu, saying, "Wait three minutes, and I'll give you a perfect answer!"

"Three minutes!" Father Gu showed surprise, "Do you know how much capital fluctuates every moment? You dare make me wait three minutes? In those three minutes, I could earn an unknown amount! How will you compensate me for waiting three minutes?"

Hao Jian smiled, saying, "Don't worry, three minutes is all it takes to deliver a surprise, one so astonishing it counts as compensation."

Everyone found Hao Jian's words confusing, unable to understand or know who he called and what he said. Three minutes—they could wait, curious about the outcome.

Mother Gu sneered, "Three minutes, we'll wait three minutes, and then you'll suffer. You dared to hit me; you're not qualified. I'll make you pay tenfold."

Hao Jian smiled, replying, "Even though mothers are strong, there's no need to be so aggressive. Aggression is harmful to children; no wonder Gu Peng is so hot-tempered, learning from you."

His words were like a blow to Mother Gu's head, but she believed that dealing with Hao Jian was easy—his expulsion was certain in her eyes, and her mind was preoccupied with how to further retaliate against Hao Jian.

She endured and said, "Two minutes left."

"More than enough," Hao Jian said.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for Hao Jian's promised surprise after three minutes. What kind of surprise would it be? They eagerly anticipated knowing; Hao Jian had repeatedly surprised them, and they wondered what he would do this time.

Everyone was awaiting the countdown—two minutes, one and a half minutes, one minute, only thirty seconds left. All attention was focused, and then, just before the countdown ended, Father Gu's phone rang, drawing everyone's gaze.

Father Gu was surprised; who would call him now? He had instructed not to contact him unless urgent during this time. What's going on? He furrowed his brow. Taking out his phone, he glanced at Hao Jian but doubted any connection to him.

Impossible, the call was from the company number. Hao Jian, a student, couldn't possibly pull off such a thing. Removing any concern and expecting routine matters.

Hao Jian sneered, saying, "Don't stand still; answer the call, see if my surprise pleases you."

Father Gu gave Hao Jian a cold stare, slid to accept the call, and listened to the voice from the other side.

"President Gu! Something's wrong!" cried the voice.

Father Gu panicked—something wrong? What's happened? He anxiously asked, "I've told you many times to stay calm."

Pausing, he anxiously asked, "What's the issue?"

Previously lowering his voice, now in panic, ignoring discretion, evidently something serious had occurred with Gu Corporation, capturing everyone's curiosity.

Father Gu's expression turned awkward, but soon transformed into disbelief, as if he couldn't comprehend what he had heard.

"Is that true?" Father Gu asked incredulously.

The voice confirmed, "It's true, President Gu, the data changes within these few minutes have been sent to your phone. Look, you'll understand, what should we do..."

Beep beep...

Before the other party finished, Father Gu hung up and hurriedly checked the assistant's sent message. After reading the email, skimming through it, his expression drastically changed, surprised in front of everyone.

"What's wrong?"

Mother Gu sensed something amiss, quickly grabbed the phone for a closer look, and her expression similarly changed indescribably.

Though seated ones couldn't pinpoint the exact incident, they understood that Hao Jian's surprise had arrived, and Father Gu and Mother Gu had witnessed it. Their expressions revealed facing the surprise.

Hao Jian laughed joyfully, asking, "How's the surprise? Does it satisfy both of you?"
