"Why would you say that? Wouldn't having money make your life richer?”Ding Yang frowned. He wanted to say something to comfort Li Miake, but he didn't know how. He could only say it dryly to avoid embarrassment.
" That's right." Li Miake smiled bitterly." Compared to wealth and status, freedom is nothing. It's just a canary in a cage. It won't starve to death."”
Ding Yang saw that Li Miaoke had completely exposed her weakness in front of him. As a man, he had the urge to stand up and pull her into his arms to comfort her.
However, he was still rational. Not to mention Li Miaoke's strong personality, just the way she pressed on his shoulder just now, Ding Yang did not dare to act rashly.
Ding Yang was afraid that Li Miao's current weakness was like a crocodile's tears. If he was hit, he would be swallowed until not even his bones were left.
"Alright, why am I saying this?”
As if realizing her inappropriate actions, Li Miaoke's bitter smile turned into a self-deprecating smile and continued,""I'll continue."
Ding Yang wiped away the cold sweat in his heart and thought," I was so afraid that I would hear something I shouldn't have heard. If I turned around and you thought it through, you would cut me off.
However, Li Miaoke seemed to notice the change in Ding Yang's expression. She smiled and said,""You don't have to worry. Since I've decided to tell you these things, I won't do anything to you.”
Ding Yang laughed dryly and said,""That's right. The principal is flattering me. I'll definitely keep these things to myself.”
Seeing Ding Yang's tactful actions, Li Miaoke nodded and said,""Families in the upper class of society sometimes choose to marry to consolidate their status, or to recruit industries that they are not involved in.”
Ding Yang nodded. He knew a little about this. It was like some soap opera. He thought that Li Miao should also be a character who was married. It was a strong alliance, so he listened more seriously.
"I didn't want to live that kind of life, so I escaped.”Li Miaoke paused for a moment and then continued,""I didn't really escape. Anyway, I came to Linhai from Jinchang and established Jinding High School. It's all related to this. I've negotiated with my family. I'll start with 30 million yuan. If I can earn 100 million yuan in three years, they'll let me choose my own marriage partner.”
Ding Yang felt like he was watching a movie when he heard this. The woman sitting in front of him was talking about a deal worth hundreds of millions?
" But three years and only managing one school, isn't that a little…" Ding Yang swallowed the word 'difficult'.
Looking at Li Miake's self-deprecating expression, Ding Yang didn't want to hurt her. He comforted her,""Isn't Golden Cauldron the most advanced private high school in Linhai? If he managed it well, 100 million yuan wouldn't be difficult, right? Besides, Principal, you're so intelligent. There's no need to worry.”
Li Miao listened to Ding Yang's clumsy consolation and wanted to laugh at him, but her heart felt warm. How long had it been since she had confided in someone? How long had it been since he received comfort and encouragement from others?
No matter what, at this moment, she was grateful to Ding Yang.
Thus, Li Miake nodded and continued,""In the first year, although it was a little difficult, I managed to get through it. In the second year, I also made some progress. However, in the second half of last year, I was anxious to do financial investments, but someone tampered with me.”
When Ding Yang heard this, he immediately responded,""Could it be that your family is behind this?”
Li Miake shook her head and said," It's the person who is going to be engaged to me. He played tricks and wanted to force me to go back. At first, I believed that the family would not leak this condition. It seems that I was too naive. No matter how much money I can make, it is not as attractive as an uninvolved business.”
Ding Yang said angrily,"This is too much of a bully. How can he be so despicable?"”
To Ding Yang, if he liked a woman, he had to chase after her. Even if he was rejected, he had to persevere until he saw that she could be happy without him. However, wasn't it a little too vile to use such despicable methods?
When Li Miaoke saw Ding Yang speak up for her, she felt even warmer and spoke more gently to Ding Yang,""There are many such things. It's just that I was careless. I can't blame others.”
"And then?" Ding Yang nodded and asked. Did they send people to capture you?"
Li Miaoke shook her head and said," My family still wants face, so I won't do this. Those men in black are other people. I failed to invest and used the school's land to make a low price. Now that I can't raise money, they naturally want to take back the land. However, that real estate developer is interested in me and forced me to submit, which is why what happened that night."”
Ding Yang's heart shook. Looking at the calm and composed Li Miaoke in front of him, he didn't know why he admired her from the bottom of his heart.
It was so difficult for a woman to use her thin shoulders to create a world and choose her own life.
The pity in his heart became even more overflowing. After pondering for a while, Ding Yang asked,"Then what do you want me to do for you?”
Li Miake looked at Ding Yang and smiled faintly,"" Actually, I don't know either, but you helped me solve the problem during the day and changed my opinion of you. I'm lacking a man by my side now…"
Upon hearing the word 'man', Ding Yang thought of something he shouldn't have thought of, and the expression on his face became richer.
"Protect me." Li Miaoke's next words made Ding Yang cough softly.
"Isn't that still security?" Ding Yang said gloomily.
After talking for half a night, it turned out to be all for nothing!
"Of course not. You can take it as a part-time job for the school. Your main job is to protect my safety. Since they can stop me, I believe that if I insist on my opinion, it will definitely be more disadvantageous to me in the future.”
When Ding Yang walked out of Li Miake's villa, he let out a breath.
He raised his head and looked at the dark night sky above him. A meteor just happened to pass by.
Did he get a promotion?
The bodyguard of the beautiful principal?
Ding Yang wasn't sure if he could do this job, but at least it was better than being a security guard at school. Besides, didn't he have some superpower?
At the thought of this, Ding Yang took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. The moment the blue flame lit up, Ding Yang thought that this might be the turning point of his life.
The next morning, Ding Yang came to the school as usual. He patrolled the school with Mao Xinggu and Dagu. After making sure that there was nothing wrong, they returned to the security room.
"Um, Little Ding." Mao Xing looked at Ding Yang hesitantly.
Ding Yang responded and asked respectfully,""Brother Mao, what's the matter?"
"Don't, don't call me that. Just call me Da Mao!”Mao Xing said with a serious expression as he patted Ding Yang's shoulder.
Ding Yang was stunned. Gu Daguer, who was beside him, was also stunned.
They didn't understand why Mao Xing was so respectful. When they came, they didn't receive such treatment.
Ding Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry after receiving Gu Da and Gu Er's strange gazes. He couldn't call out this name. It felt like the name of some animal.
"It's okay, I'm used to it. Brother Mao, if you have something to say, just say it.”Ding Yang asked directly.
Mao Xing scratched his head when he heard that. He didn't bother with the formalities and asked directly,""We all heard it when we changed shifts yesterday.”
Upon hearing Mao Xing's words, Gu Da and Gu Er acknowledged him at the same time. So there was a reason why Mao Xing was so polite to Ding Yang.
Immediately, they hid their dissatisfaction and nodded. They looked at Ding Yang with admiration and said,""Yes, Little Ding, oh no, Brother Ding, we all heard that you beat those big men down with your bare hands. The whole school spread that you're really capable. Our school's safety will be guaranteed in the future!”
Ding Yang was speechless when he heard that. What was going on? It was just that his special ability flashed yesterday, so he caught a loophole. Why did he feel like he had become famous after hearing what they said?
"It's not as mysterious as what the brothers said. It's just that those people are good-looking but useless.”
Ding Yang said modestly. He did not want to be worshipped by these people. As the saying goes, the bird that sticks out gets shot. Standing high was also dangerous!
Mao Xing was a smart guy. If he hadn't become the team leader of this group, he wouldn't have been able to lead the two good-for-nothings, Gu Da and Gu Er.
Hence, he patted Ding Yang's shoulder and said,""You're right. They're definitely good-looking but useless. But you're also capable, Little Ding. Otherwise, how could Teacher Mu, who teaches physical education, knock someone down with one punch?”
Gu Da and Gu Er also echoed,"That's right. Look at that kid's oily face. He's not a decent person. He's just a physical education teacher with a few stinking money at home. He looks down on us as security guards all day long. It's also hard-earned money!"
When Ding Yang heard what they said, he knew that Mu Zhiming was not a good student in this school. Perhaps they had seen Mu Zhiming deliberately making things difficult for him that day and knew that the two of them were not on good terms. However, by saying this now, it sounded like they were hitting him when he was down.
Ding Yang turned his head and thought of Mu Zhiming being beaten up yesterday. He felt less resentful and said,""Teacher Mu is also thinking about everyone's safety. But how was he yesterday?”
"He was carried to the infirmary? He had initially been clamoring to go to the hospital, but the doctor in the infirmary said that it was nothing serious. He prescribed some anti-inflammatory medicine and was sent home. She did see him today, but he shouldn't be in class. He was probably in the office!”
Gu Da reported.
Ding Yang smiled and nodded. He suddenly thought of what Li Miake had said yesterday. He didn't know what she would do today, but he had to explain it to them so that it wouldn't spread in the future. They would think that he relied on women to get to the top!
"By the way, the principal talked to me yesterday.”Ding Yang said indifferently.
