Chapter 178: President Wei Chifeng

'So I was suspended like that.◎,' Zhou Ming said, shrugging his shoulders unnecessarily. Zhou Ming's performance was indeed very calm, but Du Peng, who was sitting opposite him, stared in amazement.

At this time, Zhou Ming had already left the National People's Congress. In fact, with the attitude of the dean of finance at the National People's Congress, Zhou Ming could not have stayed in his office for long. From the first sentence he said, it could even be said that from the moment Zhou Ming came in, angry and looking for him, but his expression did not show surprise, Zhou Ming was certain that this matter had something to do with him, or more likely, he had arranged it himself.

It was for this reason that, after figuring out his attitude, Zhou Ming immediately left the dean's office and found Du Peng to come out and chat, and told him what had happened.

'It was hard to be a hardworking gardener and a soul-shaper for once, and I thought I could still bring out a few students. I never thought it would end so soon, and in such a way. It really feels a bit ridiculous.'

Zhou Ming laughed at himself, saying, 'It really feels a bit ridiculous. Du Peng didn't care about Zhou Ming's self-deprecation, and hurriedly stopped Zhou Ming from saying anything else, saying, "Wait a minute, Zhou Ming, you're saying that you were just suspended because you took your finance class to the farmers" market, and the School of Finance reported this to the central government?'

Zhou Ming nodded and said, "Yes." Du Peng sighed, saying, 'This is a bit too farcical. It doesn't look like the attitude of the central government in dealing with this kind of thing!'

'It is indeed very childish, but no one said that the Central Committee gave the opinion,' Zhou Ming said.

Du Peng was stunned when he heard this, but then he quickly reacted, 'Zhou Ming, are you saying that this was the opinion given to you internally by the Renmin University of China School of Finance? Indeed, just now you only said that the dean said that the things you did made the Central Committee furious, and that the suspension was to protect you, and he did not say that this was a decision made by the Central Committee. He said that to give you a wrong impression!'

Du Peng looked at Zhou Ming and said, 'Zhou Ming, don't be frustrated. It's just a broken homeroom teacher. You're a super capitalist with hundreds of billions of dollars in your hands, so why do you care?'

'I don't care about the position of homeroom teacher. I don't care about the salary and establishment of the National People's Congress. But people fight for a little pride. I can't be driven away like this without knowing why?' Zhou Ming said, 'Especially Du Peng, didn't you also say that I was a super capitalist with hundreds of billions of dollars? This is even more intolerable.'

Du Peng spread out his hands and said, 'Okay, I'll go ask my grandfather for you. I believe both my grandfather and Yang Lao will support you, so you don't need to worry.'

'I'm not worried at all,' Zhou Ming said, waving his hands. 'And there's no need to rush. What I find strange is why the dean is targeting me like this. Everything has to have a reason. I have no grudges against him, and it's hard to understand why he's doing this. Could it be that our dean has Alzheimer's or something? Otherwise, there's no reason for him to do this!'

Du Peng thought for a moment and said: 'It seems that it really is as you say, Zhou Ming. From the first day you arrived at the School of Finance at Renmin University, the dean has disliked you very much and has opposed you at every turn. If it weren't for the fact that your position was appointed by the central government, you might not even be able to enter this campus.'

'Then I would rather not be able to enter,' Zhou Ming casually said, 'as the saying goes, it is better to avoid trouble than to get involved in it, and I don't bother with this matter even if it's gone.'

'That's true. With your personality, if this thing doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. It's not like it's going to bother you anyway. As for whether it will anger Yang Lao and the others, it's got nothing to do with you. But now that you're already the head teacher of the finance class, if you were to get removed again, this kind of blatant act of slapping you in the face is the last thing you could tolerate.'

Du Peng paused suddenly after saying this, and after thinking for a moment, he said, 'But having said that, I suddenly thought of something. It's possible that it has something to do with the dean's constant targeting of you.'

Zhou Ming looked at Du Peng suspiciously. Du Peng told him, 'It seems that we have always called him Dean and forgotten that the dean also has a name.'

'Of course I know,' Zhou Ming thoughtfully said, 'his name is Yuchi Feng.'

Meanwhile, in the office of the dean of the School of Finance at Renmin University, Yuchi Feng was sitting in his seat. In front of him, the office manager was constantly making a self-criticism.

'Dean, I'm very sorry about what happened today. I shouldn't have let someone like Zhou Ming in, which has caused you a lot of trouble both personally and in terms of your work. I apologise.'

Yuchi Feng waved his hand: 'Lao Wang, how long have we worked together?'

The office manager was confused and replied, 'Since I started working at the university, I've been working with you for ten years.'

'Confucius said that time flies like this, day and night, and it turns out that we have been working together for ten years without realising it,'

Yuchi Feng said with emotion, but then he quickly changed the subject and continued, 'So after ten years, don't you understand my attitude yet? I have always been a man of my word. I definitely have a reason for telling you to wait outside, but what is your attitude today? Do you think that because you have been with me for ten years you can show off your qualifications in front of me, and that I won't deal with you?'

Yuchi Feng's reprimand after reprimand made the office manager involuntarily shiver. He hastily explained, 'Dean, please believe me, I absolutely don't mean to show off, I...'

Before he could finish, Yuchi Feng stopped him with a gesture. 'I don't care what you think, I can only reiterate here that this matter of Zhou Ming is of the utmost importance. I hope you can give it your full attention, just as you did ten years ago. Do you understand?'

'Dean, is this Zhou Ming really that important? Or is it related to Du Peng...'

The office manager wanted to ask something, but after seeing the stern look in Yuchi Feng's eyes, he immediately shut up. Yuchi Feng said, 'Lao Wang, it's better if you just do some things and don't know too much.'

The office manager hurriedly nodded and said, 'Yes, Dean, I understand, I will definitely do a good job.'

'After all, we have worked together for ten years. I can still trust you. I will give you another chance. What happened today will be forgotten. Don't worry about him anymore. You can go now.' At the end, Yuchi Feng emphasised once again, 'This time, no one is allowed to come in.'

'Yes, Dean. I will go right away. This time, I promise that as long as I am still outside the door, no one will be let in. If you need anything, just let me know. I will be outside the door, ready to serve you.'

The office manager said this and left Yuchi Feng's office. Looking at his back as he left, Yuchi Feng muttered to himself thoughtfully, 'This Lao Wang is not a leader, but a good assistant. He is destined to have no great prospects.'

Shaking his head, Yuchi Feng ignored the office manager and picked up the office phone and dialed a number. After a few busy signals, the line was connected: 'Hello, how are you? Who is this?'

Hearing the slightly local accent on the other end of the line, Yu Chifeng's face broke into a smile: 'It's me, brother.'

'It's Feng, you've kept me waiting for a long time, but now that you're calling, it seems that you've already done what you needed to do,' the other person said.

Yu Chifeng leaned back in his office chair and nodded, saying, 'If I hadn't done what I needed to do, I wouldn't have the nerve to call you, would I?

There was a few laughs on the other end, and Yuchi Feng continued, 'This morning I already made the decision to suspend Zhou Ming and revoke his position as the head of the finance class, and I will temporarily take over.'

There was a moment of hesitation on the other end, and they said, 'This is a good thing, but will you have any problems doing this? I heard that he was appointed as the head of the class by the central government.'

'Don't worry, I have asked for permission and they have agreed. If anything, it is Zhou Ming's arrogance that has given me such a big loophole,' said Yuchi Feng complacently. "You may not believe it if I tell you, but do you know how stupid Zhou Ming is? He actually took the entire finance class to the farmers" market on the first day of class. Isn't that sick?'

'The farmers' market? What was he doing there with the finance class?' the other person asked in surprise.

'Zhou Ming said he was taking the finance class to class, but is there such a ridiculous statement? He is taking a finance class, not an agriculture and forestry class, and he actually wants to go to a farmers market for class. I think it is only a young person like him who would think of something so new and different, it's extremely stupid!' Yu Chi Feng commented.

The tone there was relaxed as he continued Yu Chi Feng's train of thought, 'So you made a fuss about this matter, saying that he was a very incompetent class teacher, and only after consulting with the other side did you give Zhou Ming a punishment?'

'Of course,' said Yuchi Feng, suddenly remembering something else, "don't worry, brother. Although I can't stand Zhou Ming's wild ways, I'm not reckless. I know what I'm doing.'

Hearing this, the other side let out a sigh of relief. "That's good. But I'm not just going to nag you. I still have to say something. After all, Zhou Ming has done so much for Nanjiang. Now that you've started doing this, you have to finish him off once and for all, and not give him any chance to turn things around.'

Yuchi Feng sat up straight: 'That's a must! I'm not stupid, I won't compete with him in other areas, I'll just target him in the finance class. Isn't he the class teacher? Isn't he the teacher of the finance class? Wouldn't it be great if I could arrange a better class teacher and a better teacher for the finance class now? As long as the students in the finance class accept it, this guy Zhou Ming will naturally go as far away as possible, and even the Central Authorities will not be able to interfere?'

'You have someone in mind?' the other side asked.

Yuchi Feng nodded and said, 'This time I want to teach this Zhou Ming a good lesson about what our country's financial system is really called!'
