Chapter 2071: Chapter 2272: Celebration!!!
After winning the game, Li Weiwei came, so without much thought, it was clear why she was looking for Hao Jian. Thus, Hao Jian didn’t overthink and went out with Li Weiwei directly.
The classmates saw Hao Jian being called out by Li Weiwei again, and it was no surprise to them. However, this time it seemed like he wasn’t called out for causing trouble, but because of the basketball match with Class Five in the afternoon, that’s why Li Weiwei wanted to see Hao Jian.
The group could guess the reason without much thought, so they didn’t pay much attention and continued with their assignments.
Hao Jian followed Li Weiwei to the office, where there weren’t many teachers, only two or three. At this time, most homeroom teachers were busy with other matters and wouldn’t be in the office. The teachers in the office acted normally seeing Li Weiwei.
However, when they saw Hao Jian behind her, they gave him a few more glances. Hao Jian had certainly made a big impression today; many teachers had watched him at the scene and witnessed his prowess. Even if they didn’t go to the basketball court, his slam dunk photo went viral on social media.
So, now even if someone didn’t want to know Hao Jian, it would be difficult.
The few teachers in the office were surprised to see Hao Jian. A teacher soon commented, "Hey! Isn’t this the Hao Jian who led your class to victory today?"
Li Weiwei nodded and said, "Yes, Teacher Chen."
Teacher Chen was just asking knowingly to start a conversation. Seeing Li Weiwei nod affirmatively, his face immediately showed a smile, saying, "Really impressive! To have such skills at a young age means a promising future, kid, keep it up!"
The other teachers praised similarly. Hao Jian didn’t want to pay attention to them, feeling their words were too flattering, suggesting a promising future from a mere display of skill. Though Hao Jian didn’t particularly like these teachers, he didn’t dislike them either, so he didn’t really pay attention, responding with a smile for Li Weiwei’s sake.
At this moment, the door opened again, and it was not someone else but Jiang Kexin, the homeroom teacher of Class Five. She seemed to have some task in the office, but upon entering, she saw Li Weiwei, then Hao Jian, and heard the other teachers praising Hao Jian with laughter.
Immediately, she grabbed some items from the desk, and with a deepening face, left quickly, slamming the door heavily.
At this point, the teachers showed some displeasure towards Jiang Kexin’s attitude. One pointed at Jiang Kexin’s departing figure, saying, "Getting angry like that; winning and losing are common in battles, if you can’t lose graciously, no wonder your students have such arrogant attitudes."
He spoke with some anger, and the other teachers nodded frequently in agreement. Hao Jian watched, knowingly smiling, understanding the words were said for Li Weiwei to hear, using Jiang Kexin’s behavior as a way to compliment Li Weiwei.
If they were really upset by Jiang Kexin’s unreasonable actions, they would’ve said it in the moment. Why wait until she left? They simply didn’t want her to hear, while showing off to Li Weiwei.
Hao Jian watched, silently smiling without saying much. Soon after, the teachers finished their work and left. At this moment, only Hao Jian and Li Weiwei remained in the office. Hao Jian quietly approached Li Weiwei and sat down on a chair.
Li Weiwei organized the documents in her hand, looking at Hao Jian, saying, "Well done, today’s performance was surprising, worthy of praise. It seems handing this matter to you wasn’t a mistake at all."
Hao Jian smiled, not believing Li Weiwei called him just to praise him—it was unlikely, there must be another reason. He laughed and said, "Alright, alright, no need for flattery, just tell me what it is."
Li Weiwei didn’t expect Hao Jian to see through her intention so quickly; she laughed, said no more, and handed him some sheets of paper, saying, "These! It’s about the class outing; here’s the contact information for rental companies, and details on accommodations and several play locations. Take it back, have a look, and give me your feedback."
Hao Jian smiled, knowing there was more behind Li Weiwei calling him—it couldn’t be that simple. On glancing at the papers, he was somewhat surprised. Li Weiwei worked efficiently, finding all the information quickly.
After briefly looking through the files, he put them away. Even though there weren’t many, it would take some time to read them thoroughly, so he thought he would review them at home.
Seeing Li Weiwei had no further instructions, Hao Jian planned to return to the classroom.
But just as Hao Jian was about to leave with the papers, Li Weiwei stopped him and said, "Also, it would be best to keep some distance from those from Class Five like Gao Yanfei lately. They are not harmless, and after you embarrassed them today, they might try to cause you trouble. If they do, let me know, I’ll handle it."
Hao Jian was surprised Li Weiwei would mention this; he hadn’t given it much thought. He had let Gao Yanfei and the others save face once already; if they dared to cause trouble again, he’d make them face consequences.
He hadn’t worried about it, but seeing Li Weiwei’s seriousness, he nodded to reassure her, then returned to the classroom.
As he returned to the classroom, class was ending. Just as he placed the papers on the desk, Zhang Danlin ran over with a smile, saying, "I’ve almost got everything ready. I’ve called the people I need to, and the location is set at the usual barbecue spot we go to. What do you think?"
On hearing that, Hao Jian was impressed with Li Weiwei’s organization—a pleasant surprise at her efficiency. He nodded and said, "Alright! We’ll go there."
Zhang Danlin, hearing Hao Jian’s approval, left with a smile to continue her tasks. Subsequently, many more came to chat with Hao Jian, he dealt with them one by one, but soon felt bored and lay on the desk playing with his phone.
Browsing the school’s forum, he was surprised to see threads were dominated by discussions about him, with the top ten posts all centered on him, and including photos. Hao Jian opened the photos, and was shocked—who took these pictures of him, making him look so handsome!
Feeling a bit vain, he casually browsed posts, noting many from girls asking for his contact information, even joking about having children with him. His face reddened involuntarily.
"This..." He hadn’t expected a small basketball game to have such an impact.
He wanted to think more, but it was time for the next class. Soon, Hulai and Fatty returned, and the three chatted briefly, then class ended.
According to Zhang Danlin’s arrangement, after class, a group headed straight to the barbecue place. Since it wasn’t far from the school, it didn’t take long to walk a couple of minutes, no transport necessary.
At the end of class, with Zhang Danlin leading, the group left the teaching building, then the school, heading to the barbecue spot.
There weren’t too many, but a decent number. Girls from the cheer team joined, while boys like Zheng Jun and Hulai, who played and participated in today’s training, went along, laughing and talking as they walked.
During twilight, when another group noticed them, displeasure showed on their faces.
This group comprised Gao Yanfei’s group from Class Five. They hadn’t expected to encounter Hao Jian’s group on their way home, particularly seeing them in high spirits, which irritated them.
At this moment, Zhang Jin unhappily remarked to Gao Yanfei, "Brother Fei, look at their smug expressions; sooner or later, they’ll meet a terrible end."
Gao Yanfei initially seemed displeased, but hearing Zhang Jin, he glared sharply at him, startling Zhang Jin.
"Keep your mouth shut, don’t talk nonsense." Gao Yanfei said, coldly.
