Chapter 546: Collect Protection Fee!

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

When the surrounding middle school students saw that Yu Qing was crying after being hit, they all showed different expressions.

However, most of the Grade Nine students were very happy. This Yu Qing acted as a bossy person and had said mean things about her classmates and students in other classes.

Zhao Yanzi was special and didn’t like to respond to people. However, she would never bully others, so girls didn’t hate her.

Since the guys liked her, the girls were a bit jealous, so they would say some small mean things about Zhao Yanzi. But those didn’t cause much harm to Zhao Yanzi, so she didn’t really mind.

However, Yu Qing was arrogant and bossy at school as if no one could do anything to her. If she found out anyone said something bad about her, she would for sure threaten them. That was why none of the girls dared to fight for the things that Yu Qing had her eyes on.

Now that Yu Qing was slapped, these students who didn’t dare to utter a word before because they were too scared were delighted. They felt that Zhao Yanzi seemed very good even though she already had a boyfriend.

If they thought carefully, all the boys at school had pursued Zhao Yanzi by their own will while Zhao Yanzi didn’t get involved with any one of them. However, she was crowned the most popular girl at school, so the girls were jealous of her.

“Cry, cry, cry! Why the hell are you crying!” Huang Xujie was getting very irritated, and he had nowhere to vent out the anger he felt. He exploded when he realized that his bratty little cousin caused all this trouble.

He almost couldn’t control himself. If it weren’t for so many people around, he would have given her another slap in the face.

“Hurry up and apologize to Brother Hao’s little sister!” Huang Xujie lifted Yu Qing by her clothes.

He didn’t really care about this little cousin of his. Otherwise, he would have done something when Yu Qing called him and told him that someone was cursing her.

Huang Xujie had never hit her before, so she was so scared right now that her whole body was trembling. She only wanted to call a few hooligans to scare Zhao Yanzi; never did she thought that it would cause so much trouble.

She looked at Zhao Yanzi while trembling and uttered, “Sor… sorry.”

She was the type who looked very strong but was weak on the inside. She was arrogant at school because she took advantage of having an uncle who was a deputy mayor. Now that her big cousin slapped her, she didn’t know what the situation was anymore.

“Wow…” the middle school students started chatting loudly amongst themselves all of a sudden. The bossiest student at LingZhao Middle School, Yu Qing, actually had to apologize to Zhao Yanzi. They realized how powerful Zhao Yanzi’s boyfriend was. After this, no one would dare to bully Zhao Yanzi anymore!

Zhao Yanzi didn’t need Yu Qing’s apology. She turned around and walked into the school without even looking at her.

Hao Ren also wasn’t interested, so he pushed his bicycle and walked toward the main gate of East Ocean University.

However, Hao Ren’s vague attitude made Huang Xujie uncomfortable. His dad was the deputy mayor, and his dad usually wouldn’t control what he does. However, if his dad were going to give him a lesson, then the lesson would definitely be one that involved hitting him so hard that his arms and legs might break.

Huang Xujie saw the shocked faces of the members of the Rock-Climbing Club, but he clenched his teeth and went straight toward East Ocean University.

“Class is about to start. Hurry up and go!”

A few middle school teachers were standing at the entrance of the middle school, and they shouted to call the students in. They were only teachers that received a small salary, so they would not rush out to stop an actual fight. However, when Huang Xujie gave Yu Qing a lesson, they also chose to watch on the side because it was better when they didn’t get involved amongst these fights between students from rich and powerful families.

Hong, hong, hong! The middle school students went back onto campus like tides of water, and they continued to gossip as they hurried in.

The metal gate closed shut.

The university students who were outside LingZhao Middle School saw that the situation had been resolved, so they scattered as well. Some went back to school, and some went back to their dorms.

However, they continued to discuss the situation.

“Brother Ren! Brother Ren!” Zhou Liren rushed over with a wooden stick in his hand. “That’s so cool! You even made Huang Xujie call you, Brother!”

Last time at the computer lab, Huang Xujie had called Hao Ren, Brother Ren. Zhou Liren was confused about the situation, and he didn’t understand why Huang Xujie fought so hard for Hao Ren and even went as far as punishing his own little cousin in public.

“We’re already at school. Why are you still holding onto the wooden stick?” Hao Ren asked him.

“Oh, oh…” Zhou Liren threw his wooden stick away and asked, “Why did Huang Xujie call you, Brother?”

“How would I know! He probably has gone nuts!” Hao Ren said.

“I know! I know!” Zhou Liren suddenly seemed to come to a realization. “It must be that Brother Ren looks so mighty when fighting, so mighty that Huang Xujie is scared by you!”

Zhou Liren patted his thighs and said, “F*ck! Huang Xujie’s little cousin dares to bully our little cousin?!”

Hao Ren recognized that Zhou Liren’s thoughts were very chaotic, but he was too lazy to explain it to him. Zhao Jiayi and the other guys threw away their wooden sticks and ran to catch up with them. Although they didn’t understand what was going on either, they only knew that Hao Ren was so amazing that Huang Xujie was scared of him.

“This time, the Rock-Climbing Club showed off their strength by fighting off the hooligans. They turned out looking brave. Maybe their bravery would even help attract new students this year,” Zhao Jiayi said.

Hao Ren didn’t think this way before. But now that Zhao Jiayi said it, it seemed to make sense. The dozens of hooligans had been disturbing middle school students and had even surrounded East Ocean University students. However, Huang Xujie bravely interfered, fought off the hooligans, and even gave his meddling little cousin a lesson, placing morale in front of relationships.

Other than why Huang Xujie respected Hao Ren this much, this reasoning seemed to make sense.

“You guys haven’t eaten anything yet, right? I’ll treat you guys to lunch, but you guys have to help my club attract new members this afternoon,” Hao Ren said.

“Help? Sure!” Zhou Liren immediately agreed but then was shocked. “What? Your club is getting new members?”

Hao Ren didn’t spread the news that he was starting a club, so they had no clue about this. Also, only the school’s club management and first-year students who were about to join clubs would go to the forums. Normal people would not go there.

“What club is it?” Zhao Jiayi was full of interest.

As the captain, Zhao Jiayi had to recruit new members into the basketball team. However, the team didn’t need many people. Instead, people would need to pass many tests, and the best would be chosen.

“Calligraphy Club,” Hao Ren said calmly.

“Calligraphy?” Zhou Liren opened his eyes wide. “Damn it! Who would join this kind of club!”

Yu Rong, who was by Zhao Jiayi and the other guys, also joined in on the conversation, agreeing with Zhou Liren. “You should at least make a CS Club or a World of Warcraft Club. Why would you make a Calligraphy Club? Who would join? You won’t be able to get even 50 people in a month!”

“Hehe…” Hao Ren smile. “What if I am able to get 50 today?”

“Fifty?” Yu Rong’s eyes opened widely. “Unless you’re giving out money, no one would come!”

“Not giving out money. Rather, there’s an expensive club fee of 500-yuan per person!” Hao Ren said.

Peng! Deng!

Zhao Jiayi was originally on Hao Ren’s side, but he almost fell when he heard Hao Ren say that.

Five hundred yuan was like robbing someone! Although East Ocean University clubs had the tradition of taking in “club entrance fees,” these were only minimal amounts of symbolic fees so students wouldn’t just randomly join clubs. These fees were usually below 50. However, for Hao Ren’s club, it would take 500 to get it! Who knows how much other fees you would need afterward too!

Yu Rong was the current Class President, so he believed that he knew what the students were currently into. He immediately shook his head and said, “It’s impossible! You won’t be able to get 50 people for sure! If you are able to get that amount of people, I’d walk up-side-down in front of the cafeteria!”

“Yes, yes, yes! If you are able to get over 50 people, I will do it too!” Zhou Liren jeered.

“Me too… There’s no way! How much food could you buy with 500-yuan?” Gu Jiadong said.

“Damn! All of you are going to walk up-side-down now. I’ll do it too!” Zhao Jiayi said.

They all believed that Hao Ren wouldn’t be able to get over 50 members, especially because it was such an unpopular club and had such a high membership fee!

“Only stupid people would join the club!” they thought.

Hao Ren imagined them walking up-side-down in front of the cafeteria and couldn’t help but laugh.

“OK. You guys said it yourself!” Hao Ren looked at them.

“Yes, we said it ourselves!” Zhao Jiayi and the others patted their chests. “If you can’t get enough people, you’d have to treat us for dinner! We want expensive stuff. We want to go to the Aroma Pavilion, and you have to reserve a room just for us!”

Around East Ocean University, the most premium restaurant was the Aroma Pavilion on the second floor of Hongji Square. Since Zhao Jiayi and the other guys only had 500 to 600 yuan each month for living expenses, the Aroma Pavilion was definitely an expensive restaurant to them.

“OK!” Hao Ren promised.

However, since he needed their help, he would treat them to the cafeteria first for sure.

“Hao Ren! What happened just now!” Just when they were heading toward the cafeteria, Xie Yujia rushed over.

She was in class when she suddenly received a text message from Ma Lina saying that Hao Ren was being beaten up in front of LingZhao Middle School. That was why she rushed out and ran to LingZhao Middle School’s front gate. When she got there, she discovered that no one was there anymore. She went back to campus and saw Hao Ren and the others.

If it were before, she would be worried sick if Hao Ren was wounded. However, now she was worried that Hao Ren would hit them too hard that he’d disable or even kill the hooligans.

Now that she saw Hao Ren was well and chatting with Zhao Jiayi and the others guys while walking over to the cafeteria, she was relieved.

“I’m ok. There were just a few hooligans bullying Zi, so I went over.” Hao Ren smiled and returned the bicycle to Xie Yujia.

“Oh. Is Zi ok?” Xie Yujia hurried to ask.

“She’s ok.”

“That’s good.” Xie Yujia let out a sigh of relief. However, she had underestimated Zhao Yanzi.

After all, Zhao Yanzi was at mid-tier Foundation Establishment Realm, so she wouldn’t be scared of a few hooligans.

“Where’s Linlin and Lili?” Hao Ren asked her.

“They’re resting in their dorms. They said that you for sure wouldn’t need their help,” Xie Yujia said.

Hao Ren chuckled. He thought that these two girls were holding a small grudge against him. He then said, “Yes, if they are here, more students would come and inquire about the club. Maybe even too many.”

When Zhao Jiayi and the other guys heard Hao Ren say that, they all stared at Hao Ren with despise.

“You’re asking for too much! Your club won’t be popular, and you’re making newbies pay 500-yuan! It’d be already great if one or two students join!” they thought, “Who told you to pretend to be a big bad wolf! You’re for sure paying for a reserved room just for us at the Aroma Pavilion!”
