The morning session when they got back to school the next day was a general class that was held in the assembly hall.

The main speaker was Nian Feiyuan, the director of Hang Yuan.

It had been a week since the first day of their exchange meeting. Since they were there to learn from each other, it went without saying that the students of Hang Yuan had to show No.1 High School some color.

The school authorities summoned all the 3rd-year students to the assembly hall at 7 o'clock in the morning.

Fu Zhi and her group occupied the last row. The moment they arrived at the hall, Wu Zhiyou came up to Fu Zhi with a pen and a piece of paper in her hand. She had an arrogant expression on her face, but her voice was laced with anxiety while she was talking. "Erm, I didn't expect you to be Pure Feather and I'm one of your fans… Since you've given an autograph to other people, can you give me one as well?"

Fu Zhi lifted her head and looked at Wu Zhiyou. The two of them represented two different schools, and by right, Wu Zhiyou should refrain a little bit in public. Could she not see that her brother's eyes were spewing fire?

Wu Zhiyou's heart leaped into her throat. She looked calm on the surface, but she was actually very nervous. "What are you looking at? I've bought a lot of your books and I like you, so do you have a problem with that?"

A few girls from Hang Yuan were also looking at them. When they saw Fu Zhi nod and take the pen and paper to give Wu Zhiyou an autograph, they also approached her and said, "We want one too. Can you sign for us? You're so pretty, and your skin is so fair. By the way, we read your book every day and we're looking forward to your new work!"

As they were talking, a few more girls came up to her.

The commotion they caused caught the attention of the students of No.1 High School. On a normal day, students from other classes did not want to interact with the students of Class 21 at all. This was because they felt that the students of Class 21 were a bunch of uneducated barbarians and they often excluded them from any school activities due to their poor academic performance.

However, ever since Fu Zhi had joined Class 21, more and more people had started accepting Class 21 and Ma Mingquan.

That said, there were still some people who loathed Class 21 and were jealous of Ma Mingquan. Qian Wenrui was one of them.

There were nights when she would jerk up from her sleep, thinking about one question.

Why must she look down on Fu Zhi?

She was such a good student. She knew how to play musical instruments and she was a literary giant.

However, there was no use crying over spilled milk. Qian Wenrui was the one who had pushed this good student away.

Qian Wenrui glanced at Ma Mingquan, her eyes filled with jealousy, and she could taste blood in her mouth.

Seeing her reaction, Song Fang clicked his tongue in wonder. "This is strange. No matter what Zhizhi has done in the past, Qian Wenrui sure has something to say to her. Even if she doesn't have anything to comment on, she will roll her eyes at her. But why is she so quiet this time?"

"Seriously? You really don't know why?" Lu Yumo sighed. "She's stunned by my sister's various identities, of course."

Then, a voice erupted not far away. "Hmph! She's the only one who knows if she's taking the name 'Pure Feather' seriously. She acts as if she doesn't care about fame and reputation, but she has to let everyone know that she's Pure Feather!"

Well, from the voice alone, they could all tell who this person was.

Song Fang kicked the chair in front of him and scoffed lightly. "At least she has something to brag about, unlike someone else, who has nothing but an ugly look."

"Song Fang! How can you talk to me like that?"

"Why can't I talk to you like that? Do you really think that I wouldn't dare beat you, huh? Stop using Lu Chuwan as an excuse to fool around. If you have so much free time, you should think about what you should do to get back the business deals that the Mu Corporation has lost recently because of your stupid brain and mouth!"

The Mu Corporation had been facing a lot of trouble recently. A lot of companies had terminated their cooperation with the Mu Corporation, and the companies they'd invested in were taken to court because they were temporarily unable to get funds.

This was all because Fu Zhi had gotten the TV reporters to supervise that Mr. Fu donated 100 million yuan, and the downfall of the Mu Family had started at the gathering.

Mu Changqing just hoped that the money he donated would not go down the drain. He wished to save the image of the Mu Corporation through this donation and stop the stock of the Mu Corporation from depreciating.

Mu Chenxi's eyes turned red from anger after she heard what Song Fang had said. "We're in class now, so I'm not going to argue with you. Just you wait! I'm sure you will regret taking Fu Zhi's side one day!"

Song Fang replied flatly, "I don't really mind if you want to keep this conversation going. After all, it's kinda fun, and one cannot talk to someone with brain damage every day."

Mu Chenxi was speechless.

At the same time, on the stage...

As she looked at Fu Zhi, who was sitting amongst a group of boys, Ouyang Ya scoffed coldly.

'What a shameless sl*t! I should really ask Mrs. Li to come and see the true nature of the daughter-in-law that she likes!'

While she was immersed in her own thoughts, the phone on the table rang and the dark expression on her face ebbed a little.

She got to her feet and went to a corner to answer the call. After she finished the call, she said something to Director Liu.

Director Liu hastily sprang up from his seat and followed Ouyang Ya to welcome someone.

The person who was coming was the hacker that the elder of the Ouyang Family had introduced to Ouyang Ya. He went by the name Raptor.

As the saying went, there were different specialists in different fields. Although several disciples of the Ouyang Family majored in firearm design and had shown great talent, they were lacking in other fields.

Raptor was a professional hacker that the elder of the Ouyang Family had hired through the Hacker Alliance.

He would be assisting Ouyang Ya throughout the entire exchange meeting.

On the stage, Nian Feiyuan was teaching fervently how to solve a tricky Chemistry question. At the same time, he kept darting glances at Fu Zhi from time to time.

Nian Feiyuan was still unable to forget the humiliation Fu Zhi had made them feel a few days ago.

Fu Zhi was sleeping right now, but whenever she raised her head, Nian Feiyuan's heart would leap in his throat.

He was worried that Fu Zhi might point out his mistakes, and the last thing he wanted was to get mocked by so many students.

The longer he stayed on the stage, the more nervous he became. He had even forgotten that he was also an outstanding teacher who had repeatedly placed third in chemistry competitions.

When someone was in a nervous state, they would start stuttering and would not know where to put their hands.

As Fu Zhi got to her feet, Nian Feiyuan nearly tripped and his hand on the table trembled. "What… What's the matter? Did… Did I say something wrong? Should I check back or something? You…"

A blanket of nervousness soon enveloped the hall. The Chemistry teachers of the 3rd-year students also took out a pen and a piece of paper as they prepared to jot down the things Fu Zhi said.

"The computer crashed once because Director Liu played games on it last time. Don't click on the software at the corner, or the entire system will crash again. I also have an important document to take, so can I go out now?"

The crowd and Nian Feiyuan were speechless.

'So I didn't say anything wrong!'

Nian Feiyuan let out a long sigh of relief and accidentally touched the mouse when he lifted his arm to wipe the sweat on his forehead. "Sure, sure, sure. Of course, you can go anytime you want."

He paused for a moment before adding carefully, "How long will it take you? If possible, I hope you won't come back. Besides, it seems to me that you're pretty tired, as you keep dozing off in my class. Do you need me to buy you some sleeping pills so that you can take a whole bottle?"

'A whole bottle? He hopes I won't come back? Is he asking me to die?'

Fu Zhi then said, "It's okay. You don't have to trouble yourself so much."

"No, no, no, it's no trouble at all!" Nian Feiyuan replied.

Fu Zhi did not want to talk to Nian Feiyuan anymore. Just as she was about to leave the hall, she saw Ouyang Ya and Director Liu leading a man inside.

The man was wearing a black trench coat and had a pale face. There were black-rimmed spectacles on his face, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.

Director Liu grabbed Fu Zhi, who walked past him and said, "Look at the time. It's only been a while, and you're ready to skip class? Do you have any respect for the law?"

"Nope," Fu Zhi said. "After all, the Qing Dynasty fell a long time ago."

Then, she looked at Director Liu and added, "Xiao Liu, I'm just going to retrieve a document. Besides, I don't think Nian Feiyuan wants me to stay in the hall at all. Look at him. He's about to cry, and it will affect the other students as well if he cries, so for the greater good, I'm willing to sacrifice myself."

It was only then that Director Liu's face lightened up a little bit. He tugged at Fu Zhi and said, "Oh yeah, just hold on for a few seconds. I have to introduce someone to you."

Then, Director Liu dragged Fu Zhi toward the man. "This is a member of the Hacker Alliance and one of Ms. Ouyang's acquaintances."

He signaled at Fu Zhi to say hi to him.

Fu Zhi glanced in the direction of Director Liu's finger.

"A member of the Hacker Alliance?" she muttered.

Then, she nodded, but Ouyang Ya seemed unhappy with Fu Zhi's attitude and scoffed coldly.

She glanced at Director Liu, whose smile seemed to have frozen on his face, and said, "Don't you think the student of your school is a little… erm… rude?"

"Rude? So what am I supposed to do? Bow before him or shake his hand?" Fu Zhi interjected.

She looked at the man and could clearly see the disdain in his eyes.

In fact, Fu Zhi was not wrong about the man. In his opinion, someone of his level did not have to get to know other people aside from Ouyang Ya, as she was his boss right now.

The man let out a scoff and said in a condescending tone, "It's okay. I don't shake hands with strangers or waste my time on such meaningless things. Let's go in, Ms. Ouyang. Don't waste our time on this kind of person."

"That's good to hear," Fu Zhi said. "After all, I don't think you deserve my politeness either."

The man was so stunned that he thought his brain or his ears were playing a trick on him.

'What the hell did she just say? Does she even know who I am?'

Fu Zhi turned to Director Liu and said, "I'm taking my leave now."

After saying that, she turned around and left.

Ouyang Ya, who was dumbfounded, asked in disbelief, "What did she mean by that?"

"I guess she doesn't want to know him and she's looking down on him…"

Ouyang Ya was so flabbergasted that she did not know what she should say at all.
