"Director Zhu, what are we going to have for dinner tonight?" Lin Hai persisted annoyingly.

Director Zhu inwardly wished he could stomp Lin Hai to death. Couldn't he take a look in the mirror and see what he really was? And he still wanted to dine with me? Is he worthy?

"Brother Lin, I just remembered that I have something to do tonight, let's do it another time." Though educated, Director Zhu tactfully declined.

"Oh, that's too bad, I was thinking of inviting Zhang Mouyi and Feng Dagang to join us for dinner."

Lin Hai looked genuinely disappointed.

"Keep bragging, as if you really think you're anything special," Director Zhu scorned in his heart.

"Director Zhu, next time we eat, I was thinking of inviting some 'push-the-button-and-twist' girls to keep us company, how about that?"

"Young man, there's a limit to showing off," Director Zhu huffed coldly.

"What else are you saying, Director Zhu? I don't understand."

Director Zhu couldn't be bothered to give Lin Hai another look and put on a beastly grin, flirting through the air with Ruoshuang: "Classmate Ruoshuang, hehe, we meet again. How about dinner together tonight?"

"I need to get home tonight, otherwise my cousin will scold me," Ruoshuang pouted, giving a veiled refusal.

"No worries, just say you're dining with a leader, it's a good opportunity for me to give you some guidance," Director Zhu said shamelessly.

"Never mind, my cousin has a bad temper, and it gets pretty scary when she's mad," Ruoshuang shook her head. Who would fancy inviting a pig to dinner?

"Oh? How bad can her temper be? That won't do, how can she get angry at a student, I'll need to teach your cousin a lesson," Director Zhu pontificated.

"Really?" Ruoshuang asked.

Director Zhu, pretending to be profound, nodded.

"That's perfect, Director Zhu, my cousin works at Youming Ya Group, please take your time to teach her not to scold me so much."

Lin Hai knew this little girl loved stirring up trouble.

"Oh? Youming Ya Group? I do know a few of the leaders there, and stop calling me Director Zhu, with our relationship, you should call me Uncle Zhu."

Director Zhu was at it again, showing off. In his mind, a little boasting and this naive girl would obediently comply, waiting on him hand and foot, and afterwards looking at him with admiration and excitement.

Lin Hai, Wei Shengjin, and Ruoshuang almost vomited in disgust.

So revolting, has he no shame at all!

"Oh, my cousin's name is Ouyang Xiaoya, Director Zhu, you must give her a good talking-to," Ruoshuang batted her eyelashes.

"No problem, I will certainly... Wait, what did you say your cousin's name was?" Director Zhu's face went pale, interrupting his speech.

"My name is Ouyang Ruoshuang, and of course my cousin is Ouyang Xiaoya."

"Sss—" Director Zhu sucked in a breath of cold air, his eyes darting back and forth as he looked at Ruoshuang, shock coursing through him.

Ouyang Xiaoya, one of the Huadu Iceberg Goddesses, together with the Su Family's Wanjing dubbed the "Two Ice Beauty Peaks of Huadu," and also had good relations with people like Mayor Tao. Rumors said her father's background was mysterious, quite possibly originating from Yanjing.

In Yanjing, even a piece of brick might have connections to high-ranking officials; people who did well in Yanjing were definitely more influential than those who merely knew a few big shots.

This was not someone Director Zhu could afford to offend.

Director Zhu immediately dropped the idea of coaxing Ruoshuang into bed.

Ouyang Xiaoya, he couldn't afford to mess with her.

"Hehe, I was just joking earlier, Classmate Ruoshuang, please don't take it to heart with Uncle Zhu."

Director Zhu quickly said with a forced smile.

Wei Shengjin and Lin Hai looked on with silent disdain.

Lin Hai weakly added a jab: "Oh, right, Director Zhu, I am Ouyang Xiaoya's fiancé, Ruoshuang's brother-in-law."

Director Zhu's heart was about to lift again, but suddenly he thought of something and looked at Lin Hai with a cold eye, derisively saying: "Young man, don't force me to lose my temper."

"I really am Ouyang Xiaoya's fiancé, though." Lin Hai blinked a few times.

"Young man, I really am going to lose it!" Director Zhu prepared to vent the frustration of being snubbed onto Lin Hai.

"Director Zhu, don't get angry, when you get angry, it's a big flame," Lin Hai teased.

Director Zhu could not stand it any longer and was ready to stand up and rebuke Lin Hai fiercely, while also teaching this guy a lesson and having security throw him out.

Suddenly, a thick, pungent burnt smell seeped through the door crack, spreading throughout the entire music amphitheater.

"Fire, a big fire!" someone shouted in alarm.

"What?"

As soon as the words fell, the intense, pungent smell almost brought tears to everyone's eyes.

There was really a fire.

"Oh my god, Director Zhu, I told you not to get angry, look, now there's a fire," Lin Hai said.

"Damn it, kid, I'll deal with you later."

After that, Director Zhu hurriedly moved towards the bottom of the amphitheater where there was an emergency exit.

Several officials of various ranks also rushed over, supporting Director Zhu, being very careful, fearing the elder would fall.

The students began to get restless too, and some of the girls with less courage were on the verge of crying.

"Damn it? Such heavy smoke, sh*t." Wei Shengjin grabbed a crying girl next to him and said, "Get up quickly, run, don't just stand there frozen."

"Ruoshuang, follow everyone and try to run outside as much as possible, shout Brother Lin's name if you encounter danger," Lin Hai said.

"Brother Lin, where are you going?" Ruoshuang asked.

"Brother Lin is going to save people, look at all these students, some are scared stiff," Lin Hai finished speaking and, disregarding anything else, hurried to evacuate the students.

Principal Qian was at the entrance of the emergency exit corridor, and several students ran over.

Principal Qian barked, "Stop, don't come over."

"Principal, there's a fire, let us out quickly," a male student said urgently.

"Step back, let the leaders go first."

After saying that, Principal Qian picked up a microphone nearby and shouted with all his might, "Students, do not move; sit down, let the leaders go first, don't obstruct the leaders."

After saying it three times, Principal Qian put down the microphone.

The smoke grew thicker, and the fire was about to spread into the music classroom.

"I need to get out," a male student holding his girlfriend prepared to rush out.

"Who dares to make a move? Immediate expulsion!" Principal Qian, like a stern guard dog, loudly scolded the male student.

At this moment, students had already filled the doorway, and those behind were pressing towards the emergency exit, jostling each other; it was impossible to evacuate.

Principal Qian, however, was still stubbornly holding the door, ready to use the opportunity to suck up to the leadership, showcasing his absolute loyalty.

Lin Hai couldn't stand it any longer, with Director Zhu's slow and sluggish demeanour, usually inactive, and now even more clumsy with fear, waiting for him to get through the emergency exit, the fire would have almost reached in, by then no need for others to hope to survive.

"Let the students go first!" Lin Hai appeared in front of Principal Qian.

"No way, let the leaders go first, make space for the leaders."

"Move aside!" Lin Hai's voice turned cold, he clenched his fist; what kind of shitty principal was this?
