Chapter 187: Chapter 187: Mentally Challenged Classmate

"Even if it’s not important, the least one should do is make a phone call out of courtesy."

Xiao Yifei’s heart was filled with misgivings. Today was the first time Tan Yun had asked Xiao Yifei to call her, and he too wanted to have a real conversation with Tan Yun. Xiao Yifei curled his lips and placed the phone to his ear.

’Beep——’

After waiting for a few seconds, the call was connected, and Xiao Yifei heard an indifferent voice coming from the other end of the phone.

"Hello, is this Xiao Yifei?"

The voice sounded quite mature as well, but that made sense, being Tan Yunjing’s aunt and the president of Yanjing Medical University, Tan Yun was definitely not young. From her name, Xiao Yifei imagined she must be a very mature and intellectual woman, but the voice he heard was somewhat unexpected to him.

Because the voice that came through the smartphone, although pleasant to hear, seemed to lack life, giving the impression that Tan Yun was an extremely indifferent person, devoid of emotions.

"Hello, President Tan, I am Xiao Yifei."

Xiao Yifei found it odd, but when he heard Tan Yun’s voice, he responded to the phone neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Hmm, I heard there’s been some discontent between you and Shen Liguo, and a competition over final grades has come about?"

Tan Yun was very concise, not the least bit polite, heading straight to the point with her question.

"Uh..."

Xiao Yifei was truly unaccustomed to this mode of communication, it was also the first time he encountered a conversation with no pleasantries, going straight to the point. He held the phone, a look of conflict evident on his face.

"How should I answer? Would Tan Yun criticize me for having conflicts with colleagues upon just arriving at the school?"

Xiao Yifei was worried about this issue. Although he was invited to teach at Yanjing Medical University, after all, causing trouble was not ideal, even though it was Shen Liguo who had provoked him first.

"Yes, there has been such an incident, but..."

Xiao Yifei clenched his teeth, holding the phone as he replied, having thought through his next words carefully, but the response from the other end of the phone left him staring agape.

"Hmm, do you have confidence in winning against him?"

Without adding anything more, Tan Yun gave a sparing indifferent response as always.

"I... I do have confidence."

Xiao Yifei was somewhat dizzy with Tan Yun’s straightforward manner, and he quickly responded, just as he wanted to say something more, Tan Yun spoke again from the other end of the phone, her tone as detached and resolute as before.

"Good, as long as you have confidence, just do your job. Call me if there are any problems."

After Tan Yun simply finished saying this, she actually cut the call directly, not giving Xiao Yifei any time to react.

"This...."

Xiao Yifei held the phone with a bitter smile on his face. It was the first time he had encountered someone with a character like Tan Yun’s. He stood still for a while, shaking his head with a laugh, "This Principal Tan really is something."

Up to now, Xiao Yifei hadn’t seen Tan Yun in person, but just through this phone call, he could already sense Tan Yun’s formidable presence. He had already formed a basic understanding of her.

"No wonder the teacher responsible for the school’s equipment and logistics, Mr. Fang, was so nervous just now."

Xiao Yifei now had a deep understanding of Fang Zhong’s reaction.

Xiao Yifei put the phone into his pocket, and with a small, soft smile, he walked towards Yanjing Medical University’s cafeteria with hunger in his belly.

While eating, Xiao Yifei received a text message from Yu Jing. She informed him that Lele’s surgery was very successful. In the message, Yu Jing expressed deep gratitude to Xiao Yifei and said that once Lele was a bit better in a few days, she would bring her to have a meal with Xiao Yifei.

After reading Yu Jing’s message, Xiao Yifei pictured her mature and graceful appearance in silk shoes, a smirk crossed his lips. He stopped thinking about that rather charming posture, feeling extremely happy about Lele’s successful surgery.

When Sun Li finished eating and was ready to leave the cafeteria, he saw his former classmate Wang Peng walking toward him with a proud smile on his face, surrounded by a group of people chatting and laughing.

As soon as Xiao Yifei saw Wang Teng, Wang Teng also noticed him. His eyes lit up at the sight of Xiao Yifei, and a cryptic smile formed on his lips. Then, he walked straight toward Xiao Yifei with his entourage.

"Hey, Xiao Yifei, we meet again! Didn’t you say a couple of days ago that you lost your job? Shouldn’t you be hastily looking for work? Why do I always see you around the school? What are you loitering here for? You’ve graduated quite a while ago, haven’t you? Shouldn’t you be searching for a job instead of wandering around aimlessly?"

Wang Teng’s first words upon seeing Xiao Yifei carried an air of superiority.

Xiao Yifei lightly furrowed his brows upon hearing Wang Teng’s words. He didn’t have any special opinion about Wang Teng—although they were former classmates, they weren’t particularly close. Moreover, so much time had passed since graduation. He would have been willing to catch up and reminisce if they were on good terms. However, seeing the way Wang Teng acted both the first time and now, it was clear that he didn’t intend to have a friendly conversation; he was obviously showing off his superiority in front of Xiao Yifei, whom he believed to be living an unsatisfactory life.

Xiao Yifei looked at Wang Teng with a furrowed brow but said nothing.

Seeing that Xiao Yifei didn’t respond, Wang Teng felt even more pleased with himself. The sight of Xiao Yifei, once so proud and successful, now in such a sorry state, filled his heart with joy.

Wang Teng’s eyes scanned over Xiao Yifei’s cheap clothing, and his lips curled into a scornful smirk, "What’s up? You just came out of the cafeteria, didn’t you? You’re not a student here anymore—are you using a school meal card? Do you find that the meals in the school cafeteria are much cheaper than outside?"

He spoke in a teasing tone, looking at Xiao Yifei.

"I’m working at the school now."

Seeing that ignoring Wang Teng wasn’t an option, Xiao Yifei replied.

"Haha, hahaha, no wonder I see you around the school so often. It turns out you found yourself a job back at the school, huh? What kind of job did you get? Dorm supervisor for boys, or security guard at the lab?"

Wang Teng laughed loudly as he looked at Xiao Yifei.

Xiao Yifei, frowning, wasn’t sure what to say in response. His classmate who used to be kind, if not worldly, had become so sarcastic.

He didn’t want to continue interacting with Wang Teng because he felt that no matter what was said, he wouldn’t be able to escape from Wang Teng’s intention of flaunting his superiority. Xiao Yifei turned to leave, but at that moment, Wang Teng reached out his hand to stop him.

Today, Wang Teng was finally visited by a few friends. They were happy, had a few drinks outside, and were in high spirits as they returned to the school. They were walking along, discussing what to do next, when they happened to run into Xiao Yifei.
