Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Giving You a Love for Eating Big Mouthfuls
The tentacles weren’t just one, but two.
One coated in golden liquid aimed at the woman’s face.
The other holding a chew toy aimed at the chubby boy’s head.
"Auntie, you’re not that old, finding a partner is a good idea, just don’t try to hit on a young man like me,"
Liu Zheng said with a smile.
The woman’s unfocused eyes gradually regained their liveliness, she looked at Liu Zheng with an expression that revealed neither joy nor anger.
"Will you continue tutoring Xiao Bao?"
"Yes, as long as you don’t crave my body, I can still serve you guys,"
Liu Zheng nodded his head.
"Good, I’ll take you out,"
the woman said after a moment of silence.
"That’s great."
The two walked toward the door.
"Goodbye uncle. Mom, come back soon,"
the chubby boy waved at them, smiling innocently.
"Make sure to wash the dishes after eating."
Liu Zheng said cheerfully.
"Oh..."
The chubby boy was no longer smiling.
"By the way, do you know how to get the ’Honorary Resident’ medal in this neighborhood?"
The two entered the elevator, and he asked.
This neighborhood seemed quite unique, and the possibilities of getting an "Honorary Resident" medal seemed quite high.
"Tutor any child to become this month’s overall first place, or three or more children to become this month’s first in any subject, or ten or more children to improve their overall ranking by more than ten places, and you can get the ’Honorary Resident’ medal,"
the woman answered his question.
"Which is easier?"
"Xiao Bao is very smart; as long as he focuses on his studies, he can definitely come in first,"
the woman said, giving him a look.
"Every parent says that, but as a tutor, I clearly understand that every child’s talent is different,"
Liu Zheng shook his head.
He was very straightforward, and that was why parents didn’t like him.
"Xiao Bao is really smart; I just brought him back a week ago, and he already learned to solve linear equations with two variables,"
"Oh? That’s quite impressive, but how did he regress so much all of a sudden?"
Liu Zheng asked.
Linear equations with two variables are middle school content, and albeit not difficult for primary school students, a student who could solve them shouldn’t be coming in last.
"I don’t know, maybe you could find the answer,"
the woman said, her blankness tinged with a sliver of hope.
"I’ll try my best,"
he said, not making any promises, as he had too much on his plate now.
The goal of the Honorary Resident medal would have to be deferred.
The woman didn’t say anything more but led him to the front gate of the neighborhood.
"Come here, you need to sign in,"
the security guard spotted Liu Zheng and called out.
He flipped open his registry, filled with blood-red names and fingerprints.
"This registry is basically a death sentence, isn’t it?"
Liu Zheng said, his eyes vacant.
"No, Academic Residence needs intelligence,"
the woman replied.
"Might as well take my life,"
considering the no-holds-barred nature of this world, one wouldn’t know what to do with him once he became an idiot.
"He was delivering food; I took him out,"
the woman stepped forward and said to the guard.
"That’s not according to the rules, Ms. Chen,"
the guard shook his head.
"Let him go, I’ll talk to the chief of security in a bit,"
the woman increased her emphasis.
"Ms. Chen, don’t make it difficult for me,"
the guard looked quite troubled.
"If you were ranked first, even just first in a single subject, the chief wouldn’t say anything,"
"But you are last place, if I listen to you, the chief will definitely punish me,"
upon hearing his words, the woman’s face alternated between ashen and flush.
But this time, she wasn’t transforming into someone else; she simply felt humiliated.
"What do I need to do to let him go?"
she gritted her teeth and asked.
"My son recently started his second year of high school, and the teacher said that this is the best time to use the Hengshui Test Paper."
The security guard beat around the bush.
"Okay, I’ll give it to you."
The woman’s fingers dug into her ears and pulled a book with a gray-white cover out of her brain.
Blood-red bold letters on the cover read, "Hengshui Test Paper."
She was drenched in sweat, and her face’s blood vessels were all bulging, red, purple, and blue crisscrossing like a spiderweb, looking quite frightful.
"Take it."
The woman handed the book to the security guard.
The security guard took the Hengshui Test Papers, stuffing it into his chest.
"Then thank you, Ms. Chen. Once my son ranks in the top ten in the monthly exam, I’ll definitely bring him to thank you in person and help your son with his homework,"
the security guard said cheerfully.
The woman bit her lips tightly, not saying a word, only the blood dripping from her lips revealed her mood.
For some reason, Liu Zheng’s "Anger Management" flared up again.
"Here, let me show you something nice."
He patted the security guard on the shoulder.
"What?"
As the security guard turned around, he was harshly slapped, causing his face to close like a book.
"Your favorite big slap."
Liu Zheng said nonchalantly.
"You’re asking for death!"
The security guard immediately flew into a rage, and two cold flashes of a compass’s point aimed to penetrate his brain.
"My future father-in-law is a first-class citizen,"
Liu Zheng suddenly said.
"So what? You started the fight,"
the security guard said coldly, but the tip of the compass stopped right before his eyeball.
"I’m supposed to go fishing with him tomorrow. If he doesn’t see me, guess what will happen to you?"
"Nothing special. You started the fight; my killing you would be following the rules. Even a city councilor can’t do much about it,"
the security guard said defiantly.
"Of course. But what if he follows up with an investigation and finds out you accepted a bribe?"
"What are you trying to say?"
The security guard’s face became readable again, his brows that were straight lines now furrowed into waves.
"You’ve not accepted gifts from residents before, have you?"
Liu Zheng said with a sly smile.
"So what, that’s not against the rules either,"
the security guard stubbornly said.
"But the rules didn’t say it’s allowed either. What if the City Hall sends someone to investigate? You might not be punished, but what if it disrupts other people’s income?"
"I wonder if your security team captain knows about such a big blunder you’ve made, will he properly reward you?"
He said leisurely.
The security guard’s cold sweat dripped down, splashing ink spots on the ground.
"Take the item and let’s close this Chapter. How about that?"
Liu Zheng said.
"Agreed."
After a moment of silence, the security guard said with a grim face.
"Not bad for a guard from the Academic Residence, smart indeed."
He clapped his hands a few times.
"I really like you. Consider this money a treat for coffee,"
Liu Zheng shoved a few banknotes into the security guard’s pocket.
"This isn’t right,"
the security guard hastily refused.
"I’m forcing it on you, with absolutely no strings attached; how is that not right?"
he said forcefully.
The security guard opened his mouth but didn’t say anything.
"Also, be nicer to her from now on. We all have to live in the same place, no need for unpleasantness, right?"
"Besides, what if her son ends up ranking first one day?"
Liu Zheng said earnestly.
The security guard’s face showed a mocking smile, then a flash of gold dazzled his eyes.
He shuddered, unable to say anything.
"Gotta run. Call me if something comes up, or even if it doesn’t."
Liu Zheng crossed the security gate.
"Hmm,"
the woman muttered softly.
"Of course, I might not pick up."
He added mischievously before slipping into the Chevrolet.
