CHAPTER 409: CHAPTER 402: THE BEST TEACHER (PART 3)

"Teacher, they’ll come after you, but it’s really okay, I can just go out to eat," Liu Tong was filled with guilt, blaming himself for provoking Xuanyuan classmates! He had heard that Xuanyuan Family was the school’s largest board member, what would happen if Mr. Ye got fired?

"Liu Tong, you don’t need to apologize to the teacher. You are all my students, and it’s my responsibility to protect you and educate them," Ye Qiu took Liu Tong back to the office, moved a chair to the desk, "From now on, you will eat lunch and study here."

"How can this be?" Liu Tong asks in shock, "Teacher, I can just eat outside."

"I said you’ll stay here, and as the teacher, you are the student, students should listen to the teacher, right?" Ye Qiu’s tone became more severe, and he only went about his own business after watching Liu Tong obediently sit down.

"This isn’t like you at all, retreating because of a commoner teacher?" Sima Kai leaned on the rooftop door frame, looking at the irate Xuanyuan Junrui with a smirk.

Xuanyuan Junrui kicked the railing fiercely, his face gloomy and without a word.

"You’d better be careful with that kicking, if you fall down, probably the happiest would be your stepmother."

Hearing the words "stepmother," he looked even more displeased.

At this moment, Ye Qiu was on the phone with Xuanyuan Junrui’s stepmother, named Liu Qin, who also came from a common background but was very ambitious. She had worked her way up from a low-level employee to the chairman’s secretary, and then to the current Lady of the chairman. It was said that she now held a small portion of the Xuanyuan Family’s shares, and Ye Qiu didn’t believe for a second that she lacked ambition.

Xuanyuan Junrui was foolish too. So what if Liu Qin became his stepmother? The Xuanyuan Family currently only had him as a child, and he held more shares than she did. No matter how worthless he was, he was still his father’s only son. Instead of thinking about how to take over power from his father, he was making unnecessary trouble at school. Did he really have to wait until Liu Qin gave birth to a second heir for the Xuanyuan Family to realize what mattered? Based on Liu Qin’s current actions, she didn’t seem to be someone who would support Xuanyuan Junrui.

However, Ye Qiu didn’t care who would eventually take charge of the Xuanyuan Family. He was calling Liu Qin because he couldn’t get a hold of Xuanyuan Junrui’s father, Xuanyuan Ce, and he wasn’t calling Liu Qin to discuss Xuanyuan Junrui’s academic performance at school but to sell the software he had in hand.

The Xuanyuan Group was the biggest real estate company locally, but they were also recently venturing into cyber technology. If Ye Qiu wanted to protect himself and Liu Tong from being bullied at school, he had to demonstrate his capabilities.

"Mr. Ye, as far as I know, you’re just a math teacher. How can you expect me to believe that you possess superior programming skills?" Liu Qin’s voice was pleasant, even through the phone, her dignity and elegance were apparent, not at all like someone from an ordinary family.

Ye Qiu had anticipated Liu Qin’s skepticism and chuckled, "Lady Liu, the fact that I am making this call to you is proof of my ability. How about this, I will start a full-fledged attack on your subsidiary network company right now. If your company’s programmers can block my assault, then you can do as you please with me, how’s that?"

"You are just a teacher, what good does dealing with you do for me?"

"After all, I am Xuanyuan Junrui’s homeroom teacher, I am of some use in certain areas."

"Mr. Ye is quite interesting," Liu Qin laughed, "Since Mr. Ye is so confident, let’s give it a try, and I hope Mr. Ye does not disappoint me."

The Xuanyuan Group’s cyber technology company was actually established with Liu Qin’s full support. Despite coming from a common family and being a woman, she was very forward-thinking. Although the Xuanyuan Family dominated the local real estate market, the sector was already saturated locally, and the other board members, timid and afraid of taking risks, were reluctant to expand territory. Hence, Liu Qin founded the network technology company specializing in search engines and game development.

Having invested a significant amount of money into the company since its establishment just half a year ago, the board members were almost all skeptical. Liu Qin, determined to succeed, was eager to strengthen the company, and now was desperate for talent, so taking a gamble held no downsides for her.

If she won, she’d have control over the information about Xuanyuan Junrui at school; if she lost, it would prove that she had found a talent. Either outcome was welcome.

Liu Qin personally oversaw the development department, where the company’s strongest programmers were located. She wasn’t even sure if she wanted to win or lose.

Hearing that the challenger was a math teacher, the programmers didn’t take it seriously at first, but seeing the boss herself show up, they rallied their spirits.
