Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 83: This Matter Ends Here

The homeroom teacher of Class 1 was momentarily speechless and looked towards Wang Li.

Chen Yantao, who couldn’t bear it, said responsibly, "Boss, don’t get mad. I’ll write a reflection when I get back and post it on the school network."

Ji Ning added, "Also write about how you got our information, detailing the location and time."

Chen Yantao was slightly stunned, "How did you know?"

The reason he posted the information was that he accidentally picked up a white envelope in the hallway in the morning, which contained much gossip about Ji Ning’s identity. Later, he saw pictures of classmates in his class bowing and scraping to Ji Ning, part of the school’s notorious trio. His journalistic DNA surged, and he posted that message anonymously on the school network.

He had only told the homeroom teacher and Director Wang about finding the envelope in the hallway, but hadn’t told Ji Ning. How did she know?

Chen Yantao’s eyes were bright.

Ji Ning calmly said, "I haven’t seen you around Mingfu Garden."

"No wonder. You really are a boss who transformed from a beggar to a special recruit." Chen Yantao pushed his glasses, his face full of admiration.

You Le noticed how he fawned over Ji Ning and couldn’t help but become wary. She stared at him, asking, "Where did you find the envelope? Was there anyone else around when you picked it up?"

Chen Yantao scratched his head embarrassedly, "In the stairwell. I didn’t see anyone else. But now that I think about it, it seems a bit off. Maybe someone deliberately..."

"Enough! This matter ends here. You go write your reflection, and you all go have lunch." Wang Li suddenly cut in loudly, interrupting Chen Yantao.

The unusual behavior drew dissatisfaction from You Le: "This matter can’t just end. I want to check the surveillance."

"I said this matter ends here."

"Director Wang, what are you feeling guilty about?" You Le laughed angrily, glaring at Wang Li’s face, not missing any expression on her face.

Wang Li was already expressionless, saying directly, "I’ve already checked the surveillance, and it didn’t capture anyone."

"I don’t believe it!"

"You Le! It’s the critical period for the school’s evaluation and selection. Do you really want to blow this up so that no one can wrap it up?" Wang Li asked angrily.

"Are you really going to let such a despicable person slander others in the dark? Or do you already know who he is but don’t want to tell us because of his identity? If that’s the case, I have nothing to say. But remember, never let me find out who he is!" You Le, both angry and disappointed, started to walk out.

"You Le! Come back here! Are you threatening me? You Le—" Wang Li banged the table, yelling, but You Le didn’t listen and slammed into the office door.

"What are you standing there for? Stop her!" Wang Li glared fiercely at Li Jingjing and the homeroom teacher of Class 1.

The two of them came to their senses and hurriedly ran out.

The office instantly fell silent. Wang Li pinched the space between her brows, slumped in her chair, too angry to speak.

Nearby, Chen Yantao held his breath and moved closer to Ji Ning. He truly didn’t expect one post to cause such a stir.

"Now, are you satisfied? You Le is S-Class material, her combat power isn’t weak. If she really causes a scene, it won’t be a small matter." Wang Li, too angry to speak but unable to lose her temper at the gifted student ahead of her, held back her anger and stared at her with her eyes.

"S...S-Class... really?" Chen Yantao exclaimed, but neither Ji Ning nor Wang Li looked at him.

Ji Ning, her face calm, sat down on the sofa in the office and asked in return, "Since you know her temperament, why don’t you just tell the truth?"

"What I said is the truth. The surveillance in the stairwell has limited angles and didn’t capture who threw the envelope." Wang Li’s voice was tired and hoarse, and she took a sip from the cup on the table.

"Have you checked the surrounding surveillance?"

Wang Li’s body hesitated, looking up at her.

"Based on the time he found the envelope, you can narrow the scope."

Wang Li shook her head, "At that time, it was school hours, and there were students coming and going."

"What about students living in Mingfu Garden?"

Ji Ning’s words successfully made Wang Li’s face turn somber again.

She had thought of this long ago but hadn’t said it.

Ji Ning looked her straight in the eye, and the two of them fell into silence for a moment.

Chen Yantao was too scared to breathe but was overwhelmed with excitement that he couldn’t show, forcing himself to suppress his emotions.

Finally, after a long silence, Wang Li calmly said, "You’re students. Your primary task is to study. Some things are adult matters, so you don’t need to get involved."

"Okay."

Ji Ning surprisingly agreed easily.

Wang Li looked at her in surprise, but her eyes were full of depth, a kind of invisible pressure that gave her a chill in her heart.

Ji Ning stood up and left directly.

Chen Yantao quickly said goodbye to Wang Li and followed behind Ji Ning.

Wang Li sighed helplessly, looking at the calligraphy hanging on the opposite wall, lost in thought.

The discipline director’s office was deep in the south building of the teaching building, in a secluded and cold position where no students ever went.

Chen Yantao caught up with Ji Ning, his eyes bright and asked, "Boss, we’re just leaving like this?"

"What else?"

Ji Ning raised an eyebrow at him.

Chen Yantao wasn’t very tall, just over 1.7 meters, wearing round black-framed glasses, not particularly outstanding in appearance, but his eyes were very sharp.

"Boss, let me treat you to a meal."

Ji Ning stopped, glanced him up and down, and asked, "Have you met me before?"

"No, first time meeting." Chen Yantao lowered his head a bit shyly, then said, "I just think you’re amazing. I want to be friends with you. I’m Chen Yantao from the regular class."

Ji Ning looked at his outstretched right hand, glanced up at him, "Making friends isn’t something that can be settled with just one meal."

"No problem, no problem, from now on, I’ll cover lunch."

Ji Ning’s lips slightly curved as she began walking forward.

Seeing this, Chen Yantao thought he successfully secured a meal, did a little cheer, and hurried to keep up.

They returned to Class 8, where only Bai Xiaotang was.

"Sister Ning, finally you’re here. Sister You took people to the Elite Class. Teacher Li isn’t here, and no one can stop her now."

The Elite Class and the regular class weren’t in the same teaching building. You had to cross the playground and pass through a gate to enter the Elite Class’s building.

There, they had a garden and a small playground, with a much better environment than the regular class’s building.

Ji Ning frowned slightly and went to the window to look down.

Class 8 students had just exited the teaching building and were heading towards the Elite Class building in a mighty procession.

"Have you contacted Lin Yuanyang?"

"Called him, but no one answered. Maybe class isn’t over yet."

Ji Ning pressed her lips, suddenly opened the classroom window, and jumped out directly.

Bai Xiaotang and Chen Yantao were so shocked their eyes almost popped out.

Even though it was only the second floor, not very high, jumping down like that could still cause injuries.

"Sister Ning—"

Bai Xiaotang leaned out the window and shouted.

Chen Yantao also ran over to look, seeing that Ji Ning was already far away.

"Let’s go, catch up."

Chen Yantao’s eyes were incredibly bright, pushing his glasses, he turned and ran out, his expression both excited and delighted.

As expected, his intuition was correct.

This Ji Ning will definitely replace You Le and become the star figure of Anhe Middle School.

If he can get close to Ji Ning, he’ll definitely get more firsthand material to write exclusive reports.

Chen Yantao’s family is in the media business, running a media company, and his parents both have backgrounds as entertainment reporters, so he’s been influenced since childhood and loves writing eye-catching content.

The Anhe Middle School campus network is his main platform for posting content, and the school newspaper often invites him to contribute. This time, the gossip about Ji Ning and You Le deeply intrigued him, which is why he risked being beaten by You Le later and anonymously wrote that post on the campus network.

Unexpectedly, less than half a day after posting, his identity was uncovered due to a glitch in the campus network.

However, because of this, he finally got mixed up with the gossip protagonists Ji Ning and You Le.

He has a premonition that he will definitely become a famous reporter by relying on Ji Ning in the future.
