Chapter 172. Kept Man
Arc 6 : Sci-fi Rom-com Movie Nightmare
About a month later, Du Yan’s peaceful life was turbulent again.
During this time, he still lived the life of an ordinary high school student every day and continued to help Zeus do game testing at night. Since that long talk, the two reached a certain understanding,
Du Yan continued to maintain his money-worshiping persona, while Zeus was the one who provided the money without care. Du Yan was wondering where Zeus’s bottom line was. In his opinion, the other party might be able to convince himself with strange logic at first.
As the relationship becomes closer and the two parties become more familiar with each other, some things in the relationship become increasingly difficult to ignore.
However, before Du Yan could wait for the taste of this dream to change, he had to deal with the reappearance of annoying meimei first.
The incident started with a recent gathering of the Luo family. The Luo family has been very successful recently, and Du Zhiping has also straightened his back in the Luo family.
Everyone in the circle knows that Luo Feng, the son of the Luo family in politics, has been confirmed to be promoted to the central government. After review and job transfer, he will take up the post.
Du Zhiping played a big role in the Luo family’s current prosperity.
Since he joined the Luo family, he has been leading the shift of the industry focus from real estate to high-tech fields.
Patriarch Luo has always been dissatisfied with this. After all, the Luo family started out in real estate, and Du Zhiping’s behavior is tantamount to giving up the vast empire he has built and venturing into a completely unfamiliar field.
Luo Feng was able to enter the center of politics this time, thanks to Du Zhiping’s training of his high-tech R&D team over the years.
The technology obtained from the Sagoru stellar system was sent to various R&D teams in the country. Both official and private R&D teams worked hard to pass the informal assessment of the Galactic Senate.
The higher-ups were afraid that if the time is too long, the Sagoru people will think that the Earth’s technology is not developed enough, and they will not give Earth civilization a ticket to enter the Galactic Senate. There is a saying in Chinese civilization that there will always be brave men when there is a big reward.
So, in order to encourage R&D, the superiors guaranteed various rewards after successful R&D. In the end, it was Du Zhiping’s technology R&D team that received these rewards.
Du Zhiping stood at the door of the Luo family’s ancestral home, straightened his collar, looked at his wife who was standing beside him and was unusually gentle, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
As soon as he entered, he saw his brother-in-law Luo Feng coming to greet him with a very friendly smile on his face.
Luo Feng patted Du Zhiping on the shoulder, then held him in his arms and walked inside very affectionately: “Why didn’t you let me know when you arrived? I could have picked you up at the door.”
Luo Feng has always looked down on Du Zhiping. In his eyes, Du Zhiping was just a good-for-nothing gigolo, not to mention the things about his ex-girlfriend and illegitimate child.
Every time Du Zhiping came to the ancestral home, Luo Feng would not even look at him, let alone go to the front door to greet him.
In the main hall, everyone stood up to greet Du Zhiping after seeing him.
At this time, Patriarch Luo came out of the room upstairs. He stood at the top of the stairs and said: “Zhiping, come here.”
Patriarch Luo meant to ask Du Zhiping to help him downstairs. This honor has always been given to younger people whom he values, and Du Zhiping has never received it.
Luo Ruoqing followed behind her parents, keeping everything that happened before and after firmly in mind.
She didn’t understand much about those complicated things. The only information she got was that her Jiujiu’s matter was settled, and she didn’t need to worry too much from now on.
From today on, no one in the school can compare to Luo Ruoqing. Even the school principal has to be respectful when meeting her Jiujiu.
As for that annoying Du Yan, he could finally be out of her sight. Luo Ruoqing lowered her head and smiled with some complacency.
***
Du Yan went back home on the weekend.
During this period, he did not avoid going home like he did in the beginning when he was a lonely teenager because there were too many nostalgic things in his home. On weekends, staying in a space of his own is obviously much more comfortable than living in the dormitory. On weekends, staying in a space that belongs to him is obviously much more comfortable than living in a dormitory.
However, Du Yan’s recent changes made even his three roommates, who were only interested in studying, feel that something was wrong.
His roommate once asked Du Yan why he didn’t stay in the dormitory on weekends. Du Yan just casually said he was going home and passed it off. He didn’t think that this conversation would become proof of the subsequent turmoil.
Around five o’clock on Sunday afternoon, Du Yan returned to school from home.
When Du Yan entered the school gate, he was very sensitive to the strange looks people gave him.
He frowned slightly but did not lower his head to avoid leaving in a hurry. Instead, he looked directly in the direction of those eyes that were definitely not friendly.
Before those people could look away, Du Yan saw the contempt and disdain in them. However, after he looked away, they looked away unconsciously.
Du Yan didn’t care and continued walking towards the dormitory. When passing by the bulletin board, Du Yan finally knew the source of those strange looks.
A very childish method, posting big-character posters on the bulletin board.
When Du Yan walked over, the crowd surrounding the bulletin board moved aside, and those people all looked like they didn’t want to have any contact with someone like Du Yan.
Du Yan casually glanced at the content above. It turned out that Luo Ruoqing finally couldn’t help but start making trouble. The content basically said that Du Yan was kept by someone for money and corrupted the school spirit.
As for why Luo Ruoqing still posted these things on the bulletin board when there was a WeChat group, it was probably to create the greatest impact. After all, only in this way would the school teachers ask about this matter.
Du Yan took out his cell phone and opened WeChat, which he rarely used.
The news in the WeChat group had almost exploded. Du Yan could hardly find any useful information, so he put the phone back.
The school’s response to this incident was quite quick. Du Yan had only been sitting in the dormitory for a few minutes when his homeroom teacher, Teacher Lin, came to visit him.
Teacher Lin is a nice person who cares about students. She called Du Yan to her office without showing any strange expression.
Teacher Lin asked Du Yan to sit down and asked: “I think you already know what happened in school today. I have already torn down the things on the bulletin board. I also asked who posted it, but they said they didn’t see it.”
Du Yan nodded and said: “Thank you, teacher.”
Teacher Lin hesitated for a moment and said in a gentle tone: “I don’t believe those unfounded rumors, but now that things have come to this point, the education department will probably talk to you tomorrow, so I want to first understand what exactly happened.”
Du Yan knew that Teacher Lin had always shown great kindness towards the disadvantaged students in the school, so he told her frankly about the things that had happened recently.
Regarding the part involving Zeus, Du Yan only said that it was a friend he met recently who was quite compatible with him, and the other party lent him some money to pay off his debts.
After listening to this, Teacher Lin was silent for a moment, and then said: “You may not have noticed that the incident caused such a big fuss because Luo Ruoqing posted a recording in the WeChat group.”
Teacher Lin turned on his phone and played the recording for Du Yan.
Sure enough, it was almost the same as Du Yan guessed. After Luo Ruoqing suffered a loss, she secretly recorded the conversation when she came to the appointment that day.
What he didn’t expect was why Luo Ruoqing would come out to cause trouble at this time. For the future of her Jiujiu, Luo Feng, the Luo family has been very strict with everyone in the Luo family recently.
After playing the recording, Teacher Lin asked: “What’s going on with this recording?”
Du Yan didn’t look panicked, he just said lightly: “Maybe she secretly recorded it on the day when I paid back the money. How could I and Luo Ruoqing have a good conversation? I just provoked her with words to prevent her from bothering me all the time.”
Afterwards, Teacher Lin asked about a few more details and said that Du Yan didn’t need to worry too much, as this was not irrefutable evidence after all, and she would defend Du Yan the next day.
The next day, just as Teacher Lin said, Du Yan was called to the Dean’s office during the morning study.
In addition to the dean of studies, there was also the principal with two vice principals in the office.
Du Yan followed Teacher Lin into the room, and as soon as he saw the situation, he had an idea in his mind.
It seems that today’s matter will not be resolved so easily. The principal, two vice principals, and the dean of studies, who were present, were enough to expel him directly.
What happened next was exactly what Du Yan had expected. Du Yan had almost no room to speak, and Teacher Lin’s words in his defense also became somewhat pale and powerless under the strong pressure of several school leaders.
Ten minutes later, the school leaders’ unilateral responsibility towards Du Yan finally came to an end, and they gave him a chance to speak.
The dean of studies was a middle-aged man in his late 50s, with dark skin and a fierce look. The students secretly called him the Black-Faced God.
Now the black-faced god was standing in front of Du Yan, questioning him in a tone of interrogating a prisoner: “Du Yan, do you have anything else to say?”
Another vice-president also showed an impartial attitude at this moment and said: “We will not just listen to one side of the story. If you have any evidence to prove yourself, please bring it out as soon as possible.”
After listening to this, Du Yan just felt funny. All the words he should have said and the ways to escape had been blocked. It was clear that they wanted him to drop out of school. Why bother to hypocritically give him a chance to explain himself?
He frowned slightly, thinking about how to solve the current difficult situation.
These school leaders were determined to expel him from the school in accordance with Luo Ruoqing’s wishes, which meant one thing that Luo Feng’s entry into the central government had been confirmed, and they did not dare to offend the Luo family.
He felt that things were getting a bit troublesome. His current strength and status were too far behind the Luo family. There seemed to be no better solution except to leave and temporarily avoid the sharp edge.
He doesn’t know which thigh the Luo family had held to help Luo Feng rise to the top in such a short time.
Right, hold the thigh.
Du Yan finally remembered one thing. He was now a materialistic and boot-licking person. Why should he go down the route of a noble and wrongly accused person?
As a villain with this kind of personality, shouldn’t he be able to bully others and be arrogant and domineering?
Du Yan took out his mobile phone and opened the app to contact Zeus.
Seeing this, the dean became even angrier and scolded: “What kind of attitude do you have! You still have the mood to play with your phone at this time!”
Du Yan smiled, and the angry dean was slightly stunned.
“I was just in a relationship, and the other person happened to be rich, but I was rumored to be a kept man. As the saying goes, different people have different opinions. As for those with unclean intentions…”
He didn’t finish his words, but the expression on his face said it all: “Don’t tell me if you are dating and find that your lover is too rich, you have to trouble him to go bankrupt first?”
