Yao Zhengming descended the stairs and upon seeing Ye Xiao and Su Yun standing at the staircase entrance, he didn't dare to be arrogant at all this time. The traces of blood on his mouth were not yet fully wiped clean. Approaching Ye Xiao, he said, "Ye... Ye Xiao, you said you had something else to discuss with me, what is it?"

Ye Xiao looked at Yao Zhengming and sneered silently while addressing him, "Principal Yao, Teacher Su is indeed a good teacher who always considers the students' welfare. You see, the class teacher for class one..."

"Of course, the class teacher for class one is still Teacher Su. Teacher Su, just now I really didn't know what I was saying, so please don't take it to heart!" Yao Zhengming quickly turned to Su Yun and said!

Su Yun spoke, "I will definitely comply with the school's decision. Since Principal Yao thinks I'm still capable of being the class teacher of class one, then I will continue to take charge of class one's work."

Yao Zhengming quickly said with a smile, "I can only be at ease when class one is in Teacher Su's hands."

After saying this, Yao Zhengming immediately looked at Ye Xiao again and asked, "Student Ye Xiao, is there anything else?"

Ye Xiao didn't answer immediately but turned to Su Yun and said, "Teacher Su, don't you have work to attend to? I need to talk to Principal Yao about something."

Ye Xiao's words were clear—he wanted to talk to Yao Zhengming alone. Su Yun immediately said she had something else to do and left first!

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Yao Zhengming felt his scalp tingle. What else could this guy possibly want? Right now, Yao Zhengming didn't want to spend another second with Ye Xiao.

After seeing that Su Yun had left, Ye Xiao then turned to Yao Zhengming and said, "Principal Yao, do you really want to talk here?"

Yao Zhengming quickly said, "Let's… let's go to my office!"

Having said this, Yao Zhengming didn't move, instead he watched Ye Xiao; obviously, if Ye Xiao didn't move, he didn't dare to move!

Now, Yao Zhengming truly didn't dare to provoke Ye Xiao!

Yao Zhengming was no fool; the power that Ye Xiao had displayed previously clearly couldn't be resisted by him. When a person is not restricted by the police, that person can be extremely terrifying.

Ye Xiao let out a cold laugh; for Yao Zhengming's current obsequiousness, he had not a shred of pity. Ye Xiao deeply understood from Yao Zhengming that those who are pitiable have features that are also detestable!

When Yao Zhengming hadn't grasped Ye Xiao's true capabilities, he tried every means to kick Ye Xiao down to the depths of the eighteenth level of hell!

But now, Yao Zhengming had become a minor hellion, and Ye Xiao was undoubtedly the legendary Immortal!

Upon reaching the principal's office, Ye Xiao moved to sit on the sofa, but Yao Zhengming quickly ingratiated himself, saying, "Student Ye Xiao, this one here isn't comfortable, why don't you take a seat in the chair instead?"

The chair referred to by Yao Zhengming was naturally the well-made seat in his office, also known as the principal's throne!

Ye Xiao glanced at Yao Zhengming, and with a slight smile, made himself comfortable without any hesitation, sitting directly in the principal's chair!

Ye Xiao chuckled and savored the moment, saying, "This chair isn't cheap, huh? I remember when Li Jianwen was here, it wasn't this chair!"

Yao Zhengming immediately said, "This is a new chair, just replaced yesterday afternoon, cost over five thousand!"

Ye Xiao said, "Principal Yao really knows how to enjoy himself. May I ask, was this purchased with public funds, or…"

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Yao Zhengming's face turned pale; he didn't know what Ye Xiao intended to say, and a wave of fear struck him, tying his tongue in a knot!

"This... this..."

"Alright, Principal Yao, don't overthink it. I was just asking casually. In one sentence, as long as you treat me and my friends well, then Principal Yao will still be the 'Emperor' of Minghai Academy, as for expenditure of public funds, that has nothing to do with me. Do you understand what I mean?" Ye Xiao looked at Yao Zhengming with a smirk.

Yao Zhengming was truly surprised to hear Ye Xiao's words; just moments ago he thought that Ye Xiao was preparing to lord over him, and he had already prepared himself to submit to whatever was asked. But now, Ye Xiao was saying that he could remain the 'Emperor' here!

This stark contrast left Yao Zhengming somewhat unable to accept it, and he stood there stupefied!

Ye Xiao said, "Principal Yao, do you really not want to do this? Of course, we can always negotiate further!"

Yao Zhengming knew that this was definitely the bottom line for Ye Xiao, and that if he continued to negotiate, his benefits could only decrease, not increase!

So, Yao Zhengming quickly said to Ye Xiao, "I agree, I agree. From now on, our Minghai Academy will be democratic, and I will gladly accept any suggestion that you, Student Ye Xiao, may have, regardless of what it is."

Ye Xiao laughed, as this was the effect he wanted. In fact, his demands were not at all excessive; Yao Zhengming just needed to put aside his arrogance in front of him and his friends. At other times, he could still be the top authority of Minghai Academy, the supreme leader of the institution!

"Principal Yao is truly understanding," Ye Xiao said with a smile as he looked at Yao Zhengming. "Now, there's something I need to ask, and I'm not sure if Principal Yao would oblige!"

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Yao Zhengming didn't dare to even think about anything else and quickly said, "Go ahead, Ye Xiao, what is it?"

Ye Xiao said, "You're aware of the incident that happened at Minghai Academy a few days ago. So, both myself and all the other students at the school are quite concerned about the security measures at Minghai Academy!"

Yao Zhengming said, "Regarding that issue, I'm actually very concerned as well. Do you have any suggestions, Ye Xiao?"

Yao Zhengming dared not voice his own thoughts, given that Ye Xiao had just extended him some respect and an opportunity to save face; naturally, he couldn't push his luck!

Ye Xiao spoke with a smile, "It's quite simple, Minghai Academy is different from other schools. Everyone studying here comes from wealthy or prestigious backgrounds. Not a single student can face the slightest bit of danger. Principal Yao agrees with this, right?"

"Agreed! Agreed!" Yao Zhengming quickly said.

Ye Xiao continued, "Since Principal Yao agrees, then I'll share my thoughts. Of course, it's just a suggestion. Whether it's feasible or not is up to Principal Yao!"

Ye Xiao had been overwhelmingly arrogant in the meeting room before, but now he wore a face seeking Yao Zhengming's opinion. Yao Zhengming knew all too well what kind of person Ye Xiao was, so he eagerly said, "As a representative of all the school's students, your opinion is something I will definitely adopt."

Ye Xiao said, "Actually, it's very simple—hire some security personnel. Principal Yao must frequent upscale neighborhoods, right? Those places all have excellent property management staff, so I was hoping that Minghai Academy could follow suit!"

Yao Zhengming caught on immediately and grasped the meaning behind Ye Xiao's words, quickly saying, "I understand what you're suggesting, Ye Xiao. I'll start handling this matter right away!"

"There's no need for Principal Yao to rush, and besides, you needn't trouble yourself over this. I know of a property management company whose security staff is quite good," Ye Xiao said before he could finish, Yao Zhengming understood what he meant.

Yao Zhengming hesitated over Ye Xiao's implication. Setting aside who these security personnel might be, since they were brought in by Ye Xiao, they were surely in his camp, but what was Ye Xiao's actual endgame?

At this point, Yao Zhengming felt a flicker of suspicion, but it was merely a fleeting thought that he certainly didn't dare to express out loud.

"What's the matter? Does Principal Yao have some concerns?" Ye Xiao said, seeing that Yao Zhengming hadn't spoken.

Yao Zhengming quickly said, "No, of course not. Ye Xiao, go ahead and handle it then. Oh, and regarding the salaries of the security personnel..."

Ye Xiao immediately smiled and said, "That's just a trifle, the school can just give anything."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Yao Zhengming felt much more at ease and said, "You're really putting in a lot of effort, Ye Xiao!"

In reality, even if Yao Zhengming didn't pay a dime, he didn't plan to ask for it. After all, for the security staff protecting the students at the school, Ye Xiao would ensure their salaries were quite high. He deeply understood that to gain the loyalty of his subordinates, he had to cater to their interests.

Just as Ye Xiao was about to leave, he suddenly saw several test papers on Yao Zhengming's desk, with "Exam Simulation" written at the top!

His mind raced, and Ye Xiao looked at Yao Zhengming with a smile, "Principal Yao, the exams are tomorrow. The test papers must be ready, right?"

"They're ready! They're ready!" Yao Zhengming, now understanding Ye Xiao's intention behind the question, said with a smile, "I have the most standard answers here. I'll give you a copy; you can memorize them and easily land in the top ten!"

Upon hearing Yao Zhengming's words, Ye Xiao chuckled heartily and said, "Principal Yao, you're really a great principal, but let's keep this between us. Otherwise, I'd be utterly embarrassed!"

"Of course!" said Yao Zhengming.

He quickly found four sets of answers for Ye Xiao.

"Aren't there several subjects?" Ye Xiao, seeing only four subjects, was immediately puzzled.

Ye Xiao had never attended school or taken exams before, so although he knew there were several subjects, there were only four test papers now!

Yao Zhengming explained, "Apart from the regular subjects, all the other subjects are included in a comprehensive exam paper."

"Oh, I see, thank you so much, Principal Yao!" said Ye Xiao with a smile. "I'll be off then. I'll come back if there's anything else!"

Yao Zhengming forced a smile, but in his heart, he desperately hoped Ye Xiao would not return!

Exiting the principal's office with the four sets of exam answers in hand, Ye Xiao was feeling incredibly pleased with himself. By now, everyone probably thought he didn't stand a chance at doing well on the exams. Heh, with these standard answers, he was curious to see who could possibly outperform him!

The main reason Ye Xiao wanted the answers was because of a promise he had made to Ling Shuya—it was a matter that involved a kiss!
