Chapter 40, what's going on? Are you teasing me?

  "What am I doing? You guys say your part, I want to see what method Teacher Ling has to salvage this, hehe." Liu Yan noticed Bi Zhengkai's gaze and said with dissatisfaction. When mentioning Ling Fei, that cold voice instantly changed into a flirtatious smile, making Ling Fei feel a chill in his bones.

  "It's like this, I only have four words." Ling Fei gave a slight shudder without leaving any trace, and turned to face Bi Zhengkai.

  Bi Zhengkai furrowed his brow, lit a cigarette and waited quietly for Ling Fei to speak. Although smoking was not allowed in the office, most teachers ignored this rule, but Bi Zhengkai, a strict and meticulous person, was now smoking anxiously, revealing how tense he was inside.

  "The halo effect." Ling Fei seemed unable to bear playing with his nerves anymore, and smiled as he spat out these four words.

  "Star effect?" Before Bi Zhengkai could speak, Fang Ling took over the conversation and asked strangely. "That's right, it's the star effect." Ling Fei nodded, casually pulled out a cigarette from Bi Zhengkai's cigarette case, pinched it between his fingers, and rotated the cigarette without lighting it.

  "Star effect? Teacher Ling, don't talk about these vague things. Just say what you want to do." Bi Zhengkai took a deep drag on his cigarette, making a "hiss" sound with his mouth, and quickly spoke after exhaling the smoke.

  Ling Fei nodded slightly, his delicate eyebrows furrowing, but giving the three people an illusion, an illusion that Ling Fei was mocking them.

  Liu Yan's gaze at Ling Fei had a few more parts of explicit provocation and desire, and Ling Fei automatically filtered her out.

  "I want to invite the currently most popular heavenly voice goddess, Xiao Lan, and Shen Qingyu, who was once popular, to come to our school for a charity performance. The time of the charity performance is tomorrow!" Ling Fei's words were clear and calm, but they gave the three people in the room a heavy blow.

  "What did you say? You want to invite Xiaolan and Shen Qingyu to perform together?" Fang Ling thought that Ling Fei was fooling them, her voice became somewhat shrill due to excitement.

  Ling Fei shrugged; "If you think it's impossible, then I can leave now."

  "Wait, Teacher Ling." Bi Zhengkai said in a low voice, holding back Fangling's next words. Although Bi Zhengkai was relatively rational, he still couldn't quite believe in such illusory things, but the principle of "it's better to kill by mistake than to let one go" was applicable at all times.

  What's more at this critical moment of life and death?

  "Teacher Ling, if what you're saying is true, then that's the best. I hope you're not fooling us." Bi Zhengkai looked up at Ling Fei, casually flicked his cigarette butt to the ground and stepped on it to extinguish it.

  Ling Fei stretched out his hand and handed it to Bi Zhengkai, with a cigarette tucked in the corner of his mouth, looking like a thug collecting protection fees, although this thug was quite handsome.

  "What...?" Bi Zhengkai was caught off guard by Ling Fei's sudden action.

  Ling Fei impatiently curled his lip and put down the cigarette; "Give me the phone, I'll make a call."

  "Do you really think you can find Xiao Lan and Shen Qingyu?" Liu Yan still maintained a playful attitude, although she had some ill intentions towards Ling Fei, it didn't mean she was fooled by him. Anyone who said such things to her would be met with disdainful ridicule. She had remained silent until now, giving Ling Fei a lot of face, but in her heart, she still didn't think Ling Fei could really find either Xiao Lan or Shen Qingyu.

  "Believe it or not, I'm not helping you, what are you yelling about?"

  Originally already somewhat stifled with pent-up anger, being annoyed by Liu Yan's muttering, her ruffian air was fully exposed.

  Liu Yan was startled by Ling Fei's shout and was stunned for a few seconds, then her face turned gloomy; "Teacher Ling, as a model for others, how can you casually use foul language?"

  "Little vixen, didn't I give you a smile? I'm scolding you, what's it to you? You dare to scratch me?" Ling Fei fiercely threw the cigarette butt to the ground, glared with his eyes, and intimidated.

  "You..." Liu Yan had never been scolded like this before, and for a moment, she couldn't think of anything to say in rebuttal. She could only hold back her anger and sat down furiously.

  She didn't leave because she wanted to see Ling Fei make a fool of himself. After Ling Fei made the phone call but didn't summon anyone, it was time to thoroughly defeat him.

  Ling Fei scolded her a few times and then ignored her, turning to look at Bi Zhengkai; "Hurry up, bring me the phone, I'm busy!"

  Ling Fei's sudden scolding of Liu Yan left Bi Zhengkai and Fang Ling both a bit stunned, the sudden change in Ling Fei from being polite to furious left them both dazed.

  Ling Fei's shout brought the two back to their senses, and they looked at Ling Fei with a few more points of admiration. After all, in the eighth grade, there were few people who dared to scold Liu Yan, even if it was behind her back.

  "Here, sorry about the trouble." Bi Zhengkai hastily pulled out his phone from his pocket and handed it over to Ling Fei.

  Ling Fei took the phone, glanced at Liu Yan, and a cold smile appeared on his lips. He dialed Xiao Lan's number, waited for a moment, and a strange female voice came through; "Hello, who are you looking for?"

  "I'm looking for Xiao Lan." Ling Fei replied after a moment of hesitation.

  Hearing the woman's voice, Ling Fei also felt a sense of urgency in his heart. If he wasn't mistaken, this should be the legendary assistant or agent. If Xiǎo Lán didn't answer the phone, then everything would be for nothing.

  "What are you looking for her? She's putting on makeup." The woman's voice was somewhat stern, presumably thinking that Ling Fei was some kind of fan who had gotten Xiao Yan's phone number and was harassing her.

  "Listen up, I'm telling you, my name is Ling Fei. If you don't get Xiao Lan to answer the phone within three minutes, then don't let me see your face again!" Ling Fei spoke coldly into the phone.

  Liu Yan's cold smile at the corner of her mouth grew deeper, while Fang Ling and Bi Zhengkai's faces were filled with disappointment. Bi Zhengkai even slumped back into his seat, covering his forehead and sighing in despair.

  The woman on the other end of the phone seemed to be stunned by Ling Fei's gangster-like words, and she didn't speak for a moment, probably weighing her options.

  "Alright, you wait, I'll go ask." At last, the woman, fearing she would delay Xiao Yan's urgent matter, softened her tone.

  After a brief silence of over ten seconds on the other end of the phone, Xiao Lan's surprised voice came through; "Boss? Is that you?"

  "Well, I need a favor from you." As he spoke, Ling Fei casually walked over to the chair that had just been sat in and switched the phone to speaker mode.

  "You're still being polite with me, come on, what's up." Xiao Yan seemed to be smiling, and that voice which drove countless men crazy had a few more hints of flirtation.

  Liu Yan originally thought that Ling Fei was just amusing himself, but when the phone transmitted Xiao Lan's unique voice, her expression was quite wonderful, her small mouth slightly open, and she didn't close it for a long time.

  Bai Zhengkai and Fang Ling exchanged a glance, both able to read the surprise and delight in each other's eyes. Without mentioning Shen Qingyu, as long as Xiǎo Lán was willing to participate in the charity performance, this basketball game would definitely create a sensation in Shanghai, if not nationwide. This is no exaggeration - the drawing power of celebrities goes far beyond that.

  "There's an event at my school that needs promotion, I don't know if you have time tomorrow, just come to our school and sing a few songs, then say a few words." Ling Fei put down his phone on the office desk, with both hands supporting his head from behind, and raised his second leg, saying very casually.

  "En, okay, I've cancelled all tomorrow's schedule. Was it the eighth high school?" Xue Xiao Lan agreed without hesitation.

  Ling Fei had a smug look on his face, glanced at Liu Yan, as if saying "See that? I've got one too!"

  "Alright, I'll come pick you up tomorrow." Ling Fei didn't dare to be too arrogant, he didn't want to hear any more rumors in school.

  Xiao Lan responded with a "hmm" and immediately asked: "Whose phone is this? Where's yours?"

  "Nothing, buddy, let's get in touch tomorrow, that's it." Ling Fei was afraid she would accidentally shout out "Lao Da", which would be troublesome, so he quickly hung up the phone and put his mobile phone on the table.

  "How's that? Is it enough to prove I'm not lying now? If you still don't believe me, then suit yourselves." Ling Fei asked with a smile.

  "No, no, Teacher Ling, I believe you, I believe you." Bi Zhengkai hastily replied, his eyes shining with light, almost as if he regarded Ling Fei as a savior.

  Ling Fei sneered and stood up, glancing at Liu Yan; "You slut, remember this in the future, don't dare look at me with those eyes of yours, or I'll dig them out and use them as marbles!"
