"What are you doing here?" Chen Jie opened his eyes and asked Ji Afei in surprise.
"How am I here? You really know how to play innocent! You laid hands on my nephew, and you still have the nerve to ask me why I'm here?" Ji Afei said indignantly.
Chen Jie showed a look of realization. "I see. The junior was wronged here, and the senior came to settle the score."
"You... stop with the nonsense. I'm telling you right now, no matter what, you have to give me an explanation." Ji Afei said angrily.
"What if I don't?" Chen Jie's expression turned cold.
"You're looking for death!" Ji Afei's face darkened.
"Looking for death? Not really. What, you want the same fate as Li Zheng?" Chen Jie said.
Ji Afei's heart seethed with anger, but hearing Chen Jie's words, he still flinched back two steps.
After all, this guy dared to make a move in the playground.
He was a respectable person, and he wouldn't fare well if they actually fought.
"Chen Jie, I'm telling you, some problems cannot be solved with brute force! You just wait and see!"
Ji Afei gave Chen Jie a sinister look.
Then he turned and left.
Zheng Qingshu and the others didn't dare to breathe.
This was Ji Afei, who had connections. They wouldn't dare to say anything.
However, they were somewhat impressed with Chen Jie.
When Li Zheng made a move against Wei Xiang, it was only Chen Jie who stepped forward to teach Li Zheng a lesson.
When Ji Afei came to confront him, Chen Jie completely disregarded him.
Just this courage alone made the students, who had never seen anything like it, admire him.
Not long after, Zhang Li arrived at Class Seven.
She politely knocked on the door, then walked up to Chen Jie, asking in confusion, "Teacher Chen, why are you clashing with Director Ji again?"
"What? Did he send you to make peace?" Chen Jie asked.
With a soft chuckle, Zhao Li burst out laughing.
Seeing so many people watching, she quickly suppressed her smile and said, "Teacher Chen, you are truly humorous. I'm not here because Director Ji sent me, but because Principal Cai wants to see you in his office."
She whispered to Chen Jie, "You might need to be careful this time. As a dance teacher, laying hands on a dance student can have serious consequences, and this person is Director Ji's nephew! You... sigh..."
"It's fine. Ji Afei can't do anything to me. I'll go with you." Chen Jie said.
As the two of them left, the people in the classroom immediately gathered around.
A Zhu said to the crowd, "What do we do? Old Fatty Ji seems to have reported Teacher Chen to the principal. Teacher Chen is all alone. He might be kicked out of our dance training center!"
"Isn't that exactly what we wanted? We wanted him to be kicked out, didn't we?" Wei Xiang sneered.
As soon as he said that, everyone's angry gazes turned towards him.
"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Wei Xiang asked nervously.
"You scoundrel, Teacher Chen stepped in to teach Li Zheng a lesson because you were being bullied! If you're not going to help him, you're kicking him when he's down!" A Zhu rolled her eyes and said.
"Exactly, if it weren't for Teacher Chen yesterday, you would have been kicked out of the school by Old Fatty Ji!"
"In the end, none of you guys are as good as Teacher Chen! I actually think Teacher Chen is very handsome now!"
Wei Xiang's face turned from green to white as he listened to these words.
"We're not heinous villains. If Teacher Chen protected us and fell into trouble, should we just stand by and watch?"
A Zhu said.
"That's right. Although I'm not too fond of Chen Jie, I have to admit that what Chen Jie did was indeed impeccable!"
Even Zheng Qingshu said so. Wei Xiang finally had a moment of clarity.
He realized that he had been helped by Teacher Chen twice already.
"Old Fatty Ji must have reported Teacher Chen for dealing with Li Zheng. I think we need to think of a way to help him!"
"Wei Xiang, you're too much of a coward. Teacher Chen asked you to make a move back then, and you didn't dare! If you had made a move, it would have been a conflict between students, and Teacher Chen could have used his position to downplay the situation.
"But now? Teacher Chen is in this situation all because of you! Wei Xiang, I truly look down on you."
Wei Xiang's face turned red.
He wasn't like this before, at least not so cowardly.
This situation had completely happened because he was beaten up by Ji Afei, which had shattered his confidence.
Li Ziling also said to him coldly, "Wei Xiang, you are too weak!"
Li Ziling was the goddess he secretly admired. For his goddess to say that to him in front of his face was undoubtedly a critical blow to his self-esteem.
Thinking of this, Wei Xiang gritted his teeth. "I have an idea!"
"What idea do you have?" A Zhu asked in surprise.
"We... do this... and then that..."
...
Meanwhile, Chen Jie had already arrived at the office.
Seeing Chen Jie appear, Ji Afei said excitedly, "Principal Cai, he's here now. You must give me an explanation! Otherwise, I won't agree!"
Sitting on a chair next to Ji Afei was Li Zheng, who had been roughly bandaged. He looked quite miserable.
Cai Ni frowned.
She asked Chen Jie, "Teacher Chen, Director Ji says you beat up his nephew, Li Zheng. Is that true?"
Chen Jie nodded. "Yes, that's true."
Cai Ni's expression changed slightly.
She then pointed at Li Zheng and asked, "Are all the injuries on him caused by you?"
Chen Jie remained calm. "That's right. If I hadn't spared him, he probably wouldn't be here now."
"See! Principal Cai, this person has made my nephew like this, and he's still so arrogant and unrepentant! Principal Cai! I need an explanation!"
"Teacher Chen, this..." Cai Ni said to Chen Jie with a look of difficulty.
Chen Jie smiled and said to Ji Afei, "Deputy Director Ji, why don't you ask me why I laid hands on Li Zheng?"
"How would I know why you would lay hands on him? All I know is that my nephew had his arm broken by you!"
Ji Afei looked at Chen Jie. "Today, not only will you be kicked out of our training center! You will also have to pay a price!"
"If you insist on doing this, then I can only tell you that your plan will fall through."
Chen Jie said calmly.
He didn't believe that the Dragon Group couldn't protect him for such a minor matter.
Ji Afei was not capable of driving him away, nor was Cai Ni.
"This is ridiculous! You've made such a big mistake, and I can't even kick you out?"
Ji Afei laughed in anger and said to Cai Ni, "Cai Ni! Fire him immediately! As for laying hands on my nephew, I'll settle that with him separately!"
Cai Ni's expression changed.
She didn't expect him to call her by name directly.
But she quickly replied, "I'm sorry, I don't have the authority to fire Teacher Chen."
As soon as she said this, the other teachers in the room looked at Chen Jie with surprised eyes.
Even Cai Ni didn't have the authority to fire him, so it seemed that Chen Jie, like Ji Afei, was someone with connections.
