Chapter Twenty: The Bet

  The atmosphere in the classroom suddenly became tense and then quieted down, with everyone's eyes turning to the door. A man in a suit and tie, with an air of success about him, walked in - Zhao Xiwen!

  And right behind Zhao Xiawen entering the classroom were his usual entourage! When one of them walked in, Su Jin's eyes suddenly narrowed, and indeed it was you!

  Su Jian recognized this person at a glance, it was the one who led the thugs to block him back then! Although it was dark at that time and Su Jian couldn't see his face clearly, through his figure, dress, and Su Jian's previous judgment, he confirmed that this person was the same one from back then!

  In fact, Su Jin had previously analyzed that the person most likely to be blocking him was Zhao Xi Wen! After his rebirth, Su Jin had carefully analyzed every person he encountered, and he always maintained a "low-key" attitude towards everyone, being polite and courteous. He really couldn't figure out who would have such a deep grudge against him that they would want to kill him! If he had to say that he had conflicts with someone, it could only be Zhao Xi Wen! But he wasn't entirely sure, because his conflict with Zhao Xi Wen was just a matter of being rivals in love. Even this relationship was something that Zhao Xi Wen thought of himself, and Su Jin hadn't even considered him as one of his candidates at the time! He couldn't believe that Zhao Xi Wen would be able to kill him over such a small thing! It wasn't until today, when he saw this follower, that he understood just how twisted and arrogant Zhao Xi Wen's personality was.

  "Hmph! Zhao Xiūwén, this is our club, what are you doing here?" Before Sū Jiàn could speak, Liǔ Méi had already taken a step forward, pointing at Zhao Xiūwén and scolding him. Others might be afraid of Zhao Xiūwén, but she wasn't; after all, he was just the son of a vice principal. She also had some connections, and if she were to reveal them, Zhao Xiūwén would definitely have to go around her! However, this connection wasn't hers, but rather one of her father's friends. She was a bit hesitant about whether it was worth using her connections for such a worthless person. But over the past few days, Zhao Xiūwén had repeatedly pestered her, and her patience had already reached its limit. Two days ago, she had already made up her mind to teach him a lesson, so today she spoke without being polite!

  "Haha, little eyebrow, why are you speaking so rudely? Is it because you saw your husband and your emotions are stirred up, causing you to speak without thinking?" Zhao Xiawen didn't get angry at all when he heard Liu Mei's angry shout, instead, he had a playful smile on his face.

  "You! Shameless scoundrel! Who is my husband?" The embarrassed Liu Mei said with her words unguarded.

  "Who? Who else could it be? Of course, it's me!" Seeing Liu Mei's anxious expression, Zhao Xiawen couldn't help but feel pleased with himself, and said with a teasing tone.

  "That's right, the husband of our school flower, Liu Da, is naturally our Zhao Gongzi!"

  "It's true, Liu the school flower and Zhao the young master are a perfect match, a union of talent and beauty."

  ……

  The crowd of followers also started booing immediately!

  "You... you guys! A bunch of bastards!" The delicate and gentle Liu Mei was no match for these hoodlum students, and she looked like she was about to burst into tears.

  Seeing Liu Mei being bullied, Su Jin's eyes flashed and he walked out to say calmly: "Zhao Xiwen, this is our writing club's activity class, I don't know what brings you here!"

  The calm and gentle words carried a steady momentum, as if everything was under the control of this young man, and all that was happening in front of him was just a boring farce of a jumping clown.

  Zhao Xiūwén was suddenly stunned! There were no angry shouts, nor shrill screams, everything was beyond his expectation. Looking at the face of the young man in front of him, he suddenly thought of his own father. Every time something happened to himself and reached his father's ears, his father would have this expression, then... Ah, then it would be a human tragedy!

  Zhao Xiawen's heart suddenly felt a chill, as if he had anticipated that things had already gotten out of his control. In the dark, he seemed to sense an ominous ending for himself. Suddenly, Zhao Xiawen had the urge to leave, but immediately, a wave of shame and anger surged up in his heart. What's going on? This is just a small fry, even if he wrote a lousy book, what's the big deal? He's still just a poor student! If he really had any connections, why would he be attending Business School? Would he really be afraid of this little nobody?!

  "Hmph! You little runt, what are you pretending to be? Is there anywhere in this school that I, your father, can't go? You should feel honored that I've come to see you. It's only because of the good fortune of your ancestors that you get to see my great presence today!" Zhao Xiuren coldly snorted and scolded.

  Su Jin looked at Zhao Xi Wen with a cold gaze, neither retorting nor angrily rebuking him, but simply staring at him as if he were a dead man. For half a moment, Zhao Xi Wen was stared at to the point of feeling a chill run down his spine before Su Jin slowly spoke: "Since you've already come, can you leave now?"

  Zhao Xiawen looked at Su Jin, really didn't think he could endure so much, "You can bear all this, you're really a useless thing! What's the point of arguing with someone like him? Does Liu Mei even look up to him?" He thought to himself, feeling uninterested and disdainfully said: "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person, forget it. What's there to say to a little scoundrel like you? Leave, Liu Mei, not that I'm saying you're wrong, but what are you doing mixing with someone like him? Is this really the kind of person you want? Why don't you consider me, Young Master Ben?"

  With a wave of his hand, he led a large entourage away.

  At this time, the eyes of many students in the class looking at Su Zhan have slowly changed from surprise to disdain. Even Liu Mei looked at him with an incredulous gaze. This guy was so spineless. What's scary about Zhao Xiuwen? Even if he offended him, what's the worst that could happen? At most, it would be a beating. Now that he's like this, how can he survive in school in the future?!

  His classmates' expressions were all in his eyes, and their thoughts were also clear to him. He was a person with a smooth exterior but a cold heart. The more determined he was to take drastic measures against someone, the more polite he would be on the surface. His social experience of over ten years had made him deeply understand that verbal disputes were useless, and only cruel and ruthless means could make others feel fear, so they wouldn't dare to provoke him again. If he engaged in a war of words with Zhao Xiwen now, it would not only be ineffective but also make him vigilant. On the contrary, by pretending to be humble, he could make Zhao look down on him inwardly and be even less aware of his true intentions until his death.

  Of course, Su Jin also had a deeper purpose, that is to establish prestige! Yes, it was to establish prestige in the writing club! Now the members of the writing club were all gathered together because of their admiration for him, in a sense, this was a kind of benevolence, but having only benevolence was not enough, one had to have both benevolence and prestige to make people both love and fear him, so that his orders could be thoroughly executed, and he could thoroughly control the writing club! He had great hopes for the writing club! This contained a huge ambition, an ambition that even if it were told in later generations, perhaps no one would dare believe! He also dared to do this because he had the support of the system and the experience of rebirth.

  But it's precisely because of this that he wants to bring the writing club under his complete control, not allowing even a slight mistake! Originally, he was still worried about how to establish his authority, but now Zhao Xi Wen has been delivered right to his doorstep, and if he doesn't take advantage of it, it would be a waste!

  Maybe someone would ask, why not just have him fight Zhao Xiwen and send him to the hospital? That's a simple way to establish dominance! No doubt, for a group of students, this method is enough, but don't forget that it only applies to students. For anyone in society, this approach won't intimidate anyone! The students in the writing club, led by Su Jin, will soon enter society and each one of them will hold power and wealth that people in society will envy. So using student tactics isn't suitable anymore. Su Jin needs to use a social tactic to make their hearts tremble with fear! Only then will they have second thoughts when faced with temptation!

  Not enough Su Zhen also knew that he must now have another statement, otherwise, there is no need to wait until later, the writing club can disband now!

  Then, a smile as gentle as spring breeze reappeared on his face. He glanced at the students around him and said calmly: "You don't think much of me, do you? You think I'm spineless? I won't blame you! Nor will I explain anything because no matter what I say today, you won't believe me anyway. But I hope you'll give me a chance; I want to make a bet with you!"

  The students looked at each other in surprise, and finally Liu Wenle stood up and said, "What bet are you talking about? How do you want to make the bet?"

  Su Jian smiled faintly and said: "I bet that within five days, I will definitely get rid of Zhao Xiwen and make him never appear in front of you again! If I can't do it, I'll drop out of school and never set foot in the business school again! But if I succeed, I demand that as long as we're in the writing club for a day, you have to listen to my arrangements for a day!"

  The students looked at each other, no one said a word, until Zhao Wuhua shouted: "I bet, I don't believe my idol is this kind of person!"

  "That's right, I've gambled too!"

  "Me too!"

  "I've lost!"

  ……

  Zhao Wuhua's words triggered a collective response from the students, or rather his words more accurately expressed their inner voices. Today, everyone who has arrived here is at least a fan who has reached the stage of recognition. Each person's impression of their own idol is perfect. Instead of saying they wanted to give Su Jin an opportunity, it would be better to say that they couldn't accept that their idol was someone who could be looked down upon. This was their last effort for the sake of their idol and the perfection in their hearts!

  Su Jin looked at Zhao Wu Hua deeply, then swept his gaze over the classmates around him one by one, and said lightly: "Since that's the case, let's all just wait and see the good show. Today's activity class has come to an end, after school those who are willing can go to the website to take a look at the book, and I hope everyone will give criticism and corrections on its inadequacies!"
