Sure enough, not long after, to Xiong Kuohai's astonishment, because Su Chang hadn't held back this time, Wu Fei and the others were knocked to the ground by Su Chang, completely unable to move. Su Chang's movements were clean and swift, without the slightest hesitation.

Just then, a rapid siren sounded at the door, and Jiang Haokun turned to run. Jiang Lai, however, appeared behind him unnoticed, wielding a baton. Her eyes were filled with anger and determination. She struck Jiang Haokun directly on the head with the baton, and he screamed and collapsed to the ground.

Before Jiang Haokun fainted, he pointed at Jiang Lai with a trembling finger, his lips slightly parted as if he wanted to say something. His eyes were filled with despair and resentment, but before he could utter a word, he collapsed to the ground, powerless.

Seeing this, Su Chang hurriedly strode over and hugged Jiang Lai tightly. His voice was deep and gentle, as if he were comforting a frightened little bird: "Don't be afraid, Lai Lai, everything will be alright." Jiang Lai threw herself into Su Chang's arms, tears streaming down her face like a burst dam. Her body trembled uncontrollably, her heart filled with fear and helplessness.

Soon, the officers arrived at the scene. They acted swiftly, taking Jiang Haokun, Wu Fei, and their group into a police car. Su Chang and the others also went to the police station to give statements.

Meanwhile, Zheng Fangxiu and her group were launching a final attack on the Jiang Group. Before Su Chang came in to rescue Jiang Lai, he had given Zheng Fangxiu and her group an order to have the Jiang Group removed from the list of businesses in Shanghai.

After this battle, everyone in Shanghai's business circles knew about Su Chang. Su Chang became one of the people in Shanghai who were not to be trifled with. People knew that he was a madman, and if you messed with him, he would really make you suffer.

The next morning, before the sun had even risen, Su Chang stood alone at the entrance of Chunfeng Middle School.

After finishing his business last night, he took Jiang Lai home and put her to sleep before entrusting her to Guan Juer's care. Cui Tianqi was taken back to the Fiery Shield by Xiong Kuohai. Su Chang instructed them not to make things difficult for her for the time being, and that he would find time to talk to her.

After dealing with all that, he immediately took a chartered plane back to Kyoto, since the private jet he had asked Zheng Fangxiu to book would not arrive for another two months.

"Good morning, Teacher Su!"

Chapter 185 Zhao Baorong

The next morning, before the sun had even risen, Su Chang stood alone at the entrance of Chunfeng Middle School.

After finishing his business last night, he took Jiang Lai home and put her to sleep before entrusting her to Guan Juer's care. Cui Tianqi was taken back to the Fiery Shield by Xiong Kuohai. Su Chang instructed them not to make things difficult for her for the time being, and that he would find time to talk to her.

After dealing with all that, he immediately took a chartered plane back to Kyoto, since the private jet he had asked Zheng Fangxiu to book would not arrive for another two months.

"Good morning, Teacher Su!"

"Teacher Su, I'm here!"

As soon as Qiao Yingzi and Huang Zhitao saw Su Chang, they immediately ran towards him like two happy little birds.

Su Chang looked at them with a smile, her eyes filled with kindness and encouragement, and asked, "How are you two doing? Are you nervous? You two are the only representatives from the second year of high school to participate in this National Mathematical Olympiad; the rest are all senior students."

Qiao Yingzi looked relaxed and said nonchalantly, "What's there to be nervous about? It's just a competition. If it doesn't work out, there will be other opportunities next year." Her expression was full of confidence, as if she had absolute certainty about her abilities.

Huang Zhitao appeared somewhat dejected. With her head down, she whispered, "Teacher Su, I feel like I'm just here to make up the numbers. My math score is probably only in the top three of the grade, and compared to the seniors, it's only slightly above average. I think it will be even harder after I leave school." A hint of unease and anxiety was evident in her eyes.

Su Chang patted Huang Zhitao on the shoulder and comforted her earnestly, "Don't worry, just like Yingzi said, what's there to be nervous about? Just think of it as going to broaden your horizons. Once you've accumulated enough knowledge next year, then you can think about the rankings." His voice was gentle yet firm, giving people a sense of inexplicable reassurance.

Huang Zhitao forced a smile after hearing Su Chang's words, and her unease lessened slightly.

Afterwards, the students, accompanied by their parents, arrived at the school gate one after another. They were all excited and greeted Su Chang warmly. Su Chang responded to each of them, having a brief chat with each student and inquiring about their preparations.

Once everyone had arrived, Su Chang waved his hand and led the students onto the school's prepared bus. The students followed him and boarded the bus in an orderly fashion.

The parents stood at the back of the bus, their eyes fixed on it, filled with reluctance and concern. They silently wished their children well, hoping they would achieve good results in the competition. As the bus slowly started moving and gradually disappeared into the distance, the parents reluctantly turned and left.

On the bus, the students chatted excitedly, sharing their feelings and expectations. Qiao Yingzi remained confident, and Huang Zhitao gradually regained some energy, discussing the competition questions with her classmates.

Su Chang sat to the side, quietly observing the students, her heart filled with expectations and blessings for them.

Around 11 a.m., Su Chang led everyone to the hotel arranged by the organizers in Shanghai. After arranging rooms for everyone in an orderly manner, he led them to the hotel restaurant.

As soon as he entered the restaurant, Su Chang noticed that quite a few people had already gathered there, presumably all there for the competition. He told everyone to move around freely and enjoy the delicious buffet. He himself picked out his favorite dishes with a plate.

Su Chang's gaze swept around the restaurant, and suddenly his eyes landed on a middle-aged man wearing glasses by the window. The man looked familiar, but Su Chang couldn't remember where he had seen him before. He hesitated for a moment, then walked straight over.

"Excuse me, is this seat taken?" Su Chang asked politely, with a gentle smile on her face.

Zhao Baorong looked up at Su Chang and, seeing how young he was, assumed he was a student from some school participating in a competition.

He thought to himself, "This student is quite bold, daring to sit with me. All the students from my own school have probably disappeared." So, he smiled and said, "It's empty, please sit down."

"Okay, thank you! But I'm not a student, I'm a teacher." Su Chang replied with a smile and sat down opposite Zhao Baorong. He noticed Zhao Baorong's surprised expression and couldn't help but find it amusing.

"What? You're so young, and you're a teacher?" Zhao Baorong said in surprise, his voice unconsciously rising a few decibels. His eyes were filled with doubt, and at the same time, some embarrassment, because his judgment was clearly wrong.

Su Chang smiled nonchalantly and said, "Yes, I am Su Chang, a teacher at Kyoto Chunfeng Middle School." His tone was relaxed and natural, as if this was nothing to be surprised about.

Zhao Baorong quickly said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Teacher Su, you're too young. I misunderstood. I'm Zhao Baorong, a teacher at Jiangzhou Elite Middle School." A hint of embarrassment appeared on his face, but he also expressed his admiration for Su Chang's youth and talent.

Su Chang waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's okay, Teacher Zhao, I'm used to it." His eyes revealed a kind of confidence and composure, as if he didn't care about other people's opinions of his age.

Next, Zhao Baorong and Su Chang chatted over their meal. They discussed educational philosophies, teaching methods, and student performance. Su Chang shared some of her teaching experiences and insights, while Zhao Baorong listened attentively, nodding in agreement from time to time.

Throughout the conversation, Su Chang maintained a smile and focused expression. He gestured occasionally and nodded slightly, showing respect for Zhao Baorong's viewpoints. Zhao Baorong, on the other hand, sometimes looked thoughtful and sometimes laughed heartily, finding his interaction with Su Chang very enjoyable.

Su Chang certainly wouldn't forget to sign in; after all, this was the famous Director Zhao from "Growing Pain," so Qian Sanyi should probably be here too.

"System, sign in!"

"Ding! Detected that the host is near Qian Sanyi, the protagonist of 'Growing Pain,' Zhao Rongbao, a supporting character, and Yu Tu, the protagonist of 'You Are My Glory.' Congratulations, host, you have received a reward:"

Mastery of University Physics

Mastery of University Mathematics

Proficient in aerospace knowledge.

Su Chang is now used to these skills. He feels that the system is trying to make him an all-around warrior. However, after hearing about the drama "You Are My Glory" and that Yu Tu is still participating in the competition here, Qiao Jingjing should still be in high school. It seems that finding Qiao Jingjing to endorse his game "Honor of Kings" is a very good choice.

After Zhao Rongbao finished eating, he said to Su Chang, "Teacher Su, it was such a pleasant chat with you. I really hope to have more opportunities to exchange ideas and learn from you..."

Su Chang nodded quickly and said, "Sure, you can bring your students to visit our school, and I can bring my students to your school to study. We can learn from each other and make progress together."

"Really? That's wonderful! I'll report to our principal later. If possible, I'll start organizing students to study at your school after the competition." Zhao Rongbao quickly agreed. From their conversation, he could tell that Su Chang's teaching was truly excellent, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity.

“Sure, no problem. Here’s my phone number. You can contact me anytime once you’ve finished communicating.” Su Chang didn’t refuse and handed over a business card. He was confident that the principal wouldn’t refuse either.

"Okay, Ms. Su, we'll keep in touch later." Zhao Baorong took the business card, agreed, and left.

The math Olympiad was relatively good, with a short exam period of only two days, allowing Su Chang to give the students a short rest. This one-day break allowed the students to relax and recharge.

The next day, after the students entered the examination hall, Zhao Rongbao excitedly approached Su Chang. He eagerly asked, "Teacher Su, our school principal agreed, how about your school?"

Su Chang was somewhat surprised by Zhao Rongbao's efficiency. He smiled awkwardly. He hadn't had a chance to speak with the principal yet, so he could only reply, "Wait a moment, I'll call the principal now and ask for his opinion." With that, he took out his phone, walked to the side, and dialed the principal's number.

On the other end of the phone, the principal, upon hearing that someone wanted to visit and learn from the school, agreed without hesitation and said that Su Chang could bring students to reciprocate the visit.

After hanging up the phone, Su Chang said to Zhao Rongbao with a relaxed expression, "Teacher Zhao, our principal has also agreed, and we will also visit your school to learn from you."

Upon hearing this news, Zhao Rongbao finally felt a huge weight lifted from his heart. He began to ponder which students he should take to visit and learn, a thoughtful expression frequently appearing on his face.

"That's great. After the competition, I'll organize a visit for my students to your school," Zhao Baorong said excitedly.

“Sure, no problem. Just let me know in advance once you’ve confirmed the time.” Su Chang readily agreed, secretly looking forward to the exchange activity.

He couldn't help but think of the characters in "Growing Pain," wondering, "I wonder if Lin Miaomiao is really as cute as she is on TV, if Deng Xiaoqi is really that obsessed with looks, if Jiang Tianhao is really that much of a 'simp,' and if Qian Sanyi's mother, Pei Yin, is really that beautiful?"

However, the thought of not finding Yu Tu filled Su Chang with a sense of regret. He had originally hoped to find Qiao Jingjing to endorse his game, but now it seemed that fulfilling that wish would take some time.

Two days later, the students walked out of the examination room with a sense of relief, some happy and some sad.

Qian Sanyi and another boy came out first. Su Chang took a closer look and, although the boy's face looked a little young, he recognized Yu Tu at a glance.

Chapter 186 Finding Qiao Jingjing to be the Spokesperson

As soon as Qian Sanyi came out, Zhao Rongbao greeted him with a big smile and asked with concern, "Qian Sanyi, how did the exam go?"

Qian Sanyi was unusually modest. He pointed to Yu Tu beside him and said with a smile, "It's alright, I guess I didn't do as well as Yu Tu next to me."

Yu Tu also waved his hand modestly and said, "No way, we're probably about the same."

Hearing that someone could make Qian Sanyi admit he was better than him, Zhao Rongbao's curiosity was piqued, and he asked, "This Yu Tu, which school do you go to? What grade are you in?"

Yu Tu answered without hesitation, "I'm from Yixing No.1 Middle School in Jiangsu Province, and I'm a second-year high school student this year."

Upon hearing this answer, Su Chang lost all desire to listen further. He was secretly delighted, for he had been wondering how to find Qiao Jingjing, and now her location was right there.

Meanwhile, Zheng Shuyi was busy on the phone discussing the selection of a spokesperson with Bi Ruoshan.

Suddenly, her phone screen lit up. Zheng Shuyi saw a message from Su Chang, asking her to go to Yixing No.1 Middle School in Jiangsu Province and find a girl named Qiao Jingjing to be the amateur spokesperson for the game.

Although Zheng Shuyi knew nothing about Qiao Jingjing, she could not disobey her boss's orders, so she replied without hesitation, "Okay, boss."

Zheng Shuyi immediately said to Bi Ruoshan, "Ruoshan, the boss just sent me a message asking me to go to Yixing City, Jiangsu Province, to find a female student named Qiao Jingjing in the second year of high school to be the amateur spokesperson for the game. You can contact Gao Wen."

Bi Ruoshan nodded and said, "That's pretty good too. At least it saves trouble. We don't have to hold any more selection competitions."

The two of them had indeed discussed the matter of choosing an amateur spokesperson for the game for quite some time, and now that Su Chang had made a decision, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Zheng Shuyi hung up the phone, but she was wondering to herself: Who exactly is this Qiao Jingjing? What is her relationship with the boss? The boss wouldn't be such a beast, not even sparing a high school student, would he?

At this moment, Su Chang would never have imagined that Zheng Shuyi and Bi Ruoshan would use Gao Wen as the celebrity spokesperson for their game. I wonder what he will think when he sees two almost identical faces. Double the happiness?

While Su Chang led the students back to Kyoto, Zheng Shuyi and her assistant had already embarked on their journey to Yixing No. 1 Middle School.

The next morning, at Yixing No. 1 Middle School, Qiao Jingjing arrived at her classroom, still agonizing over her conversation with Peipei the night before. Yu Tu was also coming back to class today, and she wondered whether she should confess her feelings to him.

As she was deep in thought, the class monitor walked over and said to Qiao Jingjing, "Qiao Jingjing, Teacher Li wants you to go to the principal's office."

Qiao Jingjing's heart skipped a beat when she heard the class monitor's words, and she froze. She frowned, trying to recall if she had done anything wrong recently, but she couldn't think of anything she had done wrong. She hadn't even had a chance to confess her feelings to Yu Tu yet. Why did the principal want to see her? Her heart pounded, and a look of confusion crossed her face as she asked the class monitor, "Class monitor, do you know why the principal wanted to see me?"

The class monitor shook his head and said, "I don't know. Our homeroom teacher, Ms. Li, just asked me to inform you."

Qiao Jingjing sighed helplessly, inwardly groaning. Having no other choice, she had to steel herself and, with an air of resolute determination, head towards the principal's office.

Arriving at the office door, Qiao Jingjing took a deep breath and gently knocked: "Report!" Her voice trembled slightly, her heart pounding like a rabbit's.

"Come in." Hearing the principal's voice, Qiao Jingjing composed herself and tried to make her expression look natural.

She pushed open the door and walked into the office, only to find not only the principal but also a very pretty young woman inside. Qiao Jingjing's gaze was involuntarily drawn to the young woman, but she quickly regained her composure and asked the principal, "Principal, is there something you need from me?"

Seeing Qiao Jingjing's nervous expression, the principal smiled and said, "Qiao Jingjing, don't be nervous. I've called you here today for something good." Qiao Jingjing felt a little relieved after hearing the principal's words, but she was still a little confused.

Then, the principal pointed to Zheng Shuyi and introduced her, "Let me introduce you. This is Ms. Zheng Shuyi, the general manager of Kyoto Longteng Games. She came all the way from Kyoto yesterday to ask you to endorse a new game for her company." Qiao Jingjing was so surprised by the principal's introduction that she opened her mouth wide. She could hardly believe her ears.

When Zheng Shuyi first saw Qiao Jingjing, she was taken aback, thinking she had seen Gao Wen. However, she quickly recovered, stood up, extended her hand to Qiao Jingjing, and said with a smile, "Hello, Qiao Jingjing!"

Qiao Jingjing was somewhat flattered. She quickly extended her hand to shake hands with Zheng Shuyi and said, "Ah? Manager Su, hello!" Her face showed excitement and anticipation, and she thought to herself, "This is such a surprise! I actually have the opportunity to endorse a game!"

However, Qiao Jingjing quickly thought of another question. She frowned, a hint of doubt in her eyes, and wondered: Why would Zheng Shuyi approach her? Couldn't Kyoto find someone to endorse her?

She spoke her mind, asking directly, "Manager Su, why did you come to see me? There must be quite a few big stars in Beijing, right?"

The principal watched anxiously, worried that Qiao Jingjing might lose this opportunity because of this issue. He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but Zheng Shuyi waved his hand dismissively, indicating that the principal didn't need to worry.

Hearing Qiao Jingjing's words, Zheng Shuyi was not surprised. She smiled slightly and explained calmly, "To be honest, Qiao Jingjing, I only learned about you yesterday. Our boss recommended you. Our boss is not only the owner of a game company, but also a high school teacher."

Qiao Jingjing's eyes widened suddenly, and a look of surprise appeared on her face. She asked impatiently, "Your boss isn't a teacher at our school, is he?"
