Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 80: Making the School Bully a Follower

Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Making the School Bully a Follower

Ji Ning wore a baseball cap with the brim low, covering most of her face and making it hard for others to see her features.

Only to see the three-member group of Anhe Middle School’s overbearing school bullies gathered around a short-statured student, talking.

Among them, the leader You Le even went forward to carry the student’s backpack.

Everyone was shocked, thinking that You Le had changed her behavior today.

Who was this big shot? To make the boss yield?

People secretly guessed, speculating about Ji Ning’s identity, making Ji Ning slightly famous before even entering the school.

On the other side.

You Le stared intently at Ji Ning’s face, wanting to ask her about going to Nanling, but now with so many people around, she had to suppress the impulse.

"Sister Ning, have you had breakfast? Want some baozi?"

Saying this, she gave Xu Jiaying a look, and Xu Jiaying immediately turned around.

"No need, I’ve eaten,"

Xu Jiaying stopped in her tracks and stayed by the side of the boss, You Le.

"Hey, you haven’t paid yet."

The voice of the baozi shop owner suddenly came from not far away.

Bai Xiaotang reflexively went to pay, but Ji Ning grabbed her wrist.

In the midst of Ji Ning’s meaningful gaze, You Le awkwardly kicked Ma Weiwei, "What are you standing there for? Go pay!"

Ma Weiwei looked aggrieved, hopped on one foot twice, and ran to the baozi shop to settle the bill.

You Le awkwardly looked at Ji Ning and explained, "I forgot to pay."

After Ma Weiwei finished paying, the group of them headed grandly towards Anhe Middle School.

The students who witnessed this spectacle were very curious about the new student who instantly became the center of attention and turned the school bullies into followers.

Before long, a post was being wildly shared on the school forum and in the class group chats.

[Title: Mysterious special recruit turns school bullies into sidekicks upon entry.]

And at this moment, the so-called sidekick, You Le, was examining the pendant in her hand. This was a jade pendant Bai Xiaotang gave to them as a token of appreciation for their care over some time. Though it wasn’t the finest, it was much more valuable than some jade products on the market.

Ma Weiwei originally had some grievances against Bai Xiaotang, but seeing such a beautiful pendant, she generously gave her a sincere smile, patting her chest and saying, "Little Saint Mother, I’ll be your friend. Even if Sister Ning isn’t around, I’ve got you covered at Anhe Middle School."

You Le glanced at her, handing the pendant back to Bai Xiaotang, "No need. You’re Sister Ning’s friend and also my classmate. If there’s anything, just say it directly, no payment needed."

This was the first time Bai Xiaotang encountered a situation where her gift was refused, leaving her a bit at a loss, and she turned to Ji Ning: "Sister Ning..."

Ji Ning casually pulled out a mutton fat jade pendant from her school uniform, which Ye Tong insisted she wear, "Just wear it, everyone has one."

You Le was slightly startled, glanced at her pendant, then at Ji Ning’s identical one around her neck, complete with the same black cord.

Instantly, she felt joyful, putting the pendant around her neck and thanking Bai Xiaotang.

Bai Xiaotang let out a sigh of relief. Originally, she felt that Sister Xiaotong’s chosen pendant wasn’t good enough and was somewhat hesitant to give it out, but since Sister Ning said to give it, she had Sister Xiaotong help with the string and packaged it nicely for them.

From the school gate to the teaching building, one needed to cross a large playground.

Initially, the group of You Le, her friends, and Bai Xiaotang were already eye-catching among the students. Now, with Ji Ning joining them, the five of them immediately became the most noticeable presence in the school. Not only were students sneaking glances, but even the teachers in the high school department were watching through the window glass.

"Jing Jing, are they students from your class too? They seem quite impressive, and those three troublemakers in your class appear to listen to her."

Li Jingjing looked up at the window upon hearing this, her eyes sparkling, and she stood up to go outside.

"Hey, Jing Jing..."

Li Jingjing quickly walked out of the office, arriving early at Class 8.

Anhe Middle School’s official class time was 7:50 AM, with a 20-minute morning reading period beforehand. The class was generally relaxed, with nobody cooperating for the morning reading. Gradually, only Class 8 had the morning reading canceled.

As Li Jingjing entered the classroom, less than a third of the students were present, and most of them looked lazy, lacking student vitality. A few lively students were engrossed in playing games, their voices loud enough to be heard in the corridors. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Li Jingjing took a deep breath, wore a smile, and addressed the students laughing, joking, sleeping, and reading novels below: "Students, let’s open our Chinese textbooks and start the morning reading."

But no one responded, as if she was invisible.

Li Jingjing, undeterred, said it again calmly, yet still received no response.

Li Jingjing’s smile gradually faded. Suddenly, clenching her fist, she forcefully knocked on the lectern, and the loud noise finally quieted the room. The students below frowned, looking at her impatiently.

Trying to maintain her image as a good teacher, Li Jingjing replaced her stern expression with a smile, "Students, let’s start the morning reading. Please open your Chinese textbooks..."

"Teacher, I didn’t bring my textbook. How can I read?" a boy seated in the middle said, intentionally causing trouble.

Li Jingjing looked at him, noticed his desk mate was there, and replied, "You can share with your desk mate."

"My desk mate didn’t bring a book either."

"Then the teacher will lend you a book." Li Jingjing walked off the platform with the book.

The boy, more impatient than before, pushed away the book Li Jingjing handed over, stood up, and stared defiantly into her eyes, "I won’t read."

Even with her good temper, this boy had finally gotten under Li Jingjing’s skin.

Her smile faded once more, and holding the book, she calmly asked, "Coming to school but not studying, then why are you here?"

The boy, as if hearing something amusing, pointed at Li Jingjing’s shoulder and replied deliberately, "To play games."

"Why not play at home?" Li Jingjing now had no warmth in her eyes.

The boy still provocative, slightly raised his chin, and said disdainfully, "My family paid a sponsor fee. What’s wrong with coming here to play games?"

As he spoke, his finger aggressively poked her shoulder several times.

Utterly arrogant.

Ji Ning witnessed this scene as she entered the door.

Conveniently, there was a basketball at her foot, and she kicked it directly.

The basketball hit the boy’s back accurately, causing him to yelp in pain and crash into the desk.

"Who?"

Before he could get angry, You Le’s backpack was also thrown over.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"Sister You..." The boy was rude to Li Jingjing, but upon seeing You Le, his expression changed immediately, not daring to show any dissatisfaction.

He quickly picked up You Le’s backpack, left his seat, and started setting up her desk and chair, placing the backpack.

You Le stepped into the classroom briskly, giving him two flicks on the head, signaling with her eyes, warning him, "Not paying attention in class, looking for trouble?"

"Hehehe, I didn’t bring a book, just communicating with Teacher Li," the boy dared not misbehave, touching his head with one hand, looking respectful.

You Le glared at him, stepped aside to let Ji Ning pass.

Li Jingjing’s eyes brightened upon seeing Ji Ning, clapped her hands a couple of times, signaling everyone to pay attention to her.

"Students, this is our new special recruit for the semester, classmate Ji Ning. Everyone, welcome..."

The matter of the special recruit had already been heard by the students in Class 8, but they had not yet seen the person. Seeing Ji Ning now aroused even more curiosity, filled with scrutiny.

This special recruit had stunning features and appeared serene and harmless, seemingly easy to bully.

The boy who had just bullied Li Jingjing began teasingly, "The name Ji Ning is famous. Did your parents name you after some celebrity?"
