The Road to Godhood in Honor of Kings

"So it was you, kid, who got me fired!" The fat old man slapped Xing Feng across the face.

"Dad, what are you doing? What does your being fired have to do with me?" Xing Feng was also completely bewildered. His eyes were filled with surprise at this sudden change, and also a hint of anger. He was angry at Ye Bing's identity, wondering why his father was fired from the company as soon as he left.

Even the old bald monk looked astonished.

"Gentlemen, I'm so sorry!" The old bald monk looked at Han Cheng and the others with an apologetic expression. "It's my fault for not raising my son properly! I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." After saying this, the fat old man quickly pulled Xing Feng away in a sorry state.

"What? What's going on? Why is the old fat man apologizing to us and even hitting that kid Xing Feng?" the fat man couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah, I bet Ye Bing called his dad!" Sun Hou guessed.

Upon hearing Sun Wukong's words, the old bald monk was also shocked. Could it be that Ye Bing's father was really the mayor?

"Oh, I see! It seems that Xing Feng wasn't telling the truth and we misunderstood you! I'm sorry!" The old bald monk quickly changed his tune.

"Hmph!" Xu Xiaomeng snorted coldly, and Fatty and Sun Hou followed suit with a snort, making the old bald monk look embarrassed.

"Principal Wang, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now..." The homeroom teacher was also a little taken aback.

"Let's go! Let's go!" the old bald monk said, then added "Take care" as the homeroom teacher was about to leave, revealing his two-faced nature.

"Then can we leave now?" Sun Wukong asked arrogantly, knowing that the old bald monk was now afraid of them.

"let's go!"

Xu Xiaomeng left the principal's office before the old bald monk could finish speaking.

After leaving the principal's office, Han Cheng felt something was amiss. It was true that Ye Bing's father was the mayor, but even a mayor didn't have the authority to fire someone from a company at will. Since he said his mother was the chairperson of a small company, she must be the chairperson of Jiutian Group. Jiutian Group was the largest and most powerful trading company in the city; one could imagine how influential Ye Bing's mother was. Moreover, given Ye Bing's personality, humility meant he was incredibly capable. Yes, that's right, his mother was indeed the chairperson of Jiutian Group. He had only revealed his father's identity earlier, not his mother's—very discreet.

Watching Xu Xiaomeng's graceful figure disappear into the distance, and the two bickering lovers, Sun Hou and Fatty, along with Ye Bing waiting for him not far away, Han Cheng felt it was truly wonderful to have such a group of friends. As for Xing Feng and his ilk, hmph, just as Ye Bing said: clowns. People like them, relying on their family background and connections to bully and dominate, but once they encounter someone powerful, they fawn and curry favor. Hmph, such people are no different from clowns.

Ahead, Xu Xiaomeng's departing figure, the fat man's sturdy back, Sun Wukong's thin back...

"Hey! Why have you gone so far? Wait for me!" Han Cheng realized he had been left behind, so he jogged to catch up.

In the evening, or more precisely, during evening self-study. In the classroom.

"Well, students, the King of Glory campus championship has ended, and our Class 4 team won the championship, bringing honor to our class. However," the homeroom teacher paused, "it's ultimately just a game competition. Although I participated too, a game is just a game. It's fine to play, but don't take it too seriously. You need to be mindful of things at appropriate times, don't get addicted, and learn to control yourself..." The homeroom teacher finished her long-winded speech, and the bell rang at the right moment. Speaking of which, the homeroom teacher was a young woman, not much older than him, so why was she acting like an old woman, so nagging? Han Cheng really couldn't understand it. Since he couldn't understand it, he decided not to think about it. Just be happy, forget your troubles. The universe is vast, fly freely, and return home laden with joy... (Does this sound familiar? Does it remind you of an animated film's theme song? Or perhaps the ending theme? What animated film? I've forgotten...)

"This trophy is made of plastic! That's so stingy!" Sun Wukong tapped the trophy and discovered it was made of plastic.

"Plastic is already pretty good! Do you want a gold trophy?" the fat man couldn't help but say.

here we go again……

"By the way, how about we have lunch together this weekend? The homeroom teacher should be free this time, right?" Han Cheng said. The reason they didn't have lunch was because they considered that the homeroom teacher also contributed to this bonus, so they should at least have a meal together. However, the homeroom teacher was not free at noon today, so they could only get together another day. (What? Where did the homeroom teacher go? How could he not be free? Do you remember when the homeroom teacher went to see Qin Li, but Qin Li was not free, so he asked his underling to collect the money from the homeroom teacher?)

"Hmm, good idea!" Xu Xiaomeng was the first to express her opinion.

"I also think it's feasible," Ye Bing said. Although everyone thought Ye Bing was a good friend, their attitude towards him didn't change much. After all, you can't just fawn over someone just because you know their father is the mayor and their mother is the chairman, right? Even if their attitude changed significantly, it wouldn't work, since it's not like they couldn't see through it.

"Okay, okay, let's eat, let's eat!" The fat man clearly wanted this, immediately revealing his gluttonous nature.

"I have no objection, but if I eat something that makes you guys angry, please don't be angry..." Sun Wukong said. The fat man looked at him with disdain, clearly saying, "How much food can a skinny monkey like you eat? I think you're just a picky eater!"

"Alright, it's settled then," Han Cheng said. "Let's talk about splitting the money, which is what Monkey and Fatty, especially Monkey, care about the most."

"Mmm." Xu Xiaomeng cleared her throat, took out a piece of paper, and picked up a pen.

"Twenty thousand yuan, that's four thousand yuan for the five of us, no objections, right?" Xu Xiaomeng looked at everyone, and they all shook their heads, indicating that they had no objections.

“If you have a problem with this bonus, I don’t want it,” Ye Bing said decisively. “I don’t think I did anything special, and my family isn’t short of money. Let’s split this money among ourselves!”

"This..." Xu Xiaomeng was somewhat surprised and looked at Han Cheng, who also said there was nothing he could do.

“Since Ye Bing is so insistent (where is he insistent?), let’s respect his choice! The four of us will each receive five thousand yuan,” Sun Hou said.

“This…” Xu Xiaomeng looked at Ye Bing, who nodded, indicating that there was no problem and they would do as Sun Wukong said.

“Alright then, excluding Ye Bing, the four of us will each contribute 5,000 yuan. Each person can contribute 50 yuan, totaling 200 yuan for this dinner... If that's not enough, no one can contribute another 50 yuan... Any objections?” Xu Xiaomeng wrote down 5,000, 50, and 4,950.

“No objection!” Sun Hou said. “It’s only fifty yuan, I’ll pay for it. Ye Bing doesn’t want the bonus, so naturally she doesn’t need to pay for the meal… If two hundred yuan isn’t enough, then four hundred yuan, or even a thousand yuan…” Han Cheng then realized that Sun Hou was also a master of flattery and sycophancy. Xu Xiaomeng hadn’t even said that Ye Bing should pay for it…
