44: The director is more powerful than the dean

“You know all this?”

“I personally review the files of every student in the Medical Academy. Your name isn't common, and your son filled in your name in the family section, so how could I not know?”

“Hahaha, so that's how it is.” Liu Jiangyi laughed, pointing to a chair and saying, “Dean Feng, please sit first. My boy hasn't arrived yet.”

“No, no, no, you sit first.” Feng Qingyang quickly stepped back.

“Hey, you're the Dean, how can I sit first? That's not appropriate.”

“Appropriate! It's very appropriate.” Feng Qingyang said with a bitter smile, “Although I am the Dean, I was defeated by you. It's truly shameful to mention.”

“The two of us absolutely shouldn't be so polite. Please, sit down quickly.”

Feng Qingyang found it hard to refuse such a warm invitation, and Liu Jiangyi also didn't bother to decline further, so he sat down.

Afterward, Feng Qingyang sat on the other side.

The male teacher, on the other hand, was relegated to standing behind them.

This scene wasn't surprising to the male teacher and the student from before.

But for the new students who didn't understand, they were completely bewildered.

“Holy cow! What's going on? Dean Feng actually offered a Head Teacher his seat?”

“And when the Head Teacher's son enrolls, Dean Feng actually comes to greet him personally?”

“Wait! He's Director Liu? Could he be Liu Jiangyi, who was so popular in the Martial Arts Academy before?”

“Liu Jiangyi? Who's that?”

“My brother is one year ahead of me and also in the Martial Arts Academy. I heard him tell me a few days ago that a formidable person came to the Martial Arts Academy. His Alchemy skills are even higher than Dean Feng's, and he can even summon Heavenly Fire! The Academy directly promoted him to the position of Head Teacher, and they're even considering making him the Vice Dean of the Medical Academy!”

“What the heck? Even better at Alchemy than Dean Feng? Doesn't that mean if we apprentice under Director Liu, it would be even better than apprenticing under Dean Feng?”

“Haha, it's not that easy. Many senior students wanted to become his disciples before, but Director Liu didn't accept any. It's said that Director Liu is very strict about accepting students; it's not something just anyone can do!”

“Nothing is impossible for a willing heart! Since directly flattering Director Liu won't work, we can find his son!”

“Holy cow! That's right! Isn't his son enrolling? As long as we butter up Director Liu's son, wouldn't it be much easier to apprentice under Director Liu?”

“I'm not saying anything else, but whoever gets assigned to the same dorm as Director Liu's son later, I'm willing to exchange my spot for a million!”

“I'll be the first college best friend of Director Liu's son!”

“What's a best friend? I'll be a simp directly!”

“A simp? I'll directly give him babies!”

“…”

The students were already eager, their eyes constantly searching the crowd for Director Liu's son.

They automatically ignored those with unimpressive demeanors.

In their opinion, to be the son of such a capable person like Director Liu, even if he wasn't handsome and dashing, he should at least have an extraordinary temperament, right?

Not only were the students in an uproar.

Even the male teacher from before looked excitedly at the crowd.

He knew Liu Jiangyi's capabilities; he would inevitably take over from Feng Qingyang in the future, and could even directly take a position at the main academy.

If he could curry favor with Liu Jiangyi's son, and then slowly get close to Liu Jiangyi, wouldn't his days of rising to prominence be just around the corner?

Registration continued.

Half an hour later.

The last student completed their enrollment registration.

Unlike students from other academies who went to their dorms after registering, none of the Medical Academy students left.

All the new students waited in a bustling crowd for Director Liu's son.

Especially the last few people to register, their excitement was barely concealed on their faces.

Dorms were assigned based on the order of enrollment.

Director Liu's son, being the last to arrive, would definitely be assigned to their dorm!

“Director Liu, why hasn't your son arrived yet?” Feng Qingyang asked in surprise.

“Could that boy have overslept?” Liu Jiangyi was a little surprised.

He took out his phone to make a call, only to realize that he hadn't charged it last night, causing the phone to run out of battery and shut down.

Liu Jiangyi put away his phone and turned to ask, “Did my son come to register earlier?”

Liu Jiangyi had, after all, arrived halfway through, so it was possible Liu Zhi had come right when the doors opened and they had missed each other.

“Possibly!”

The male teacher quickly picked up the roster and began searching for students with the surname Liu who had enrolled before Liu Jiangyi arrived.

However!

After searching for a while, the male teacher was dumbfounded.

“There… there's no one with the surname Liu on the roster…”

“What? Did that brat change his surname?” Liu Jiangyi's eyes widened.

“Don't worry, Director Liu, let me see if your son's name is further down.”

The male teacher quickly looked further.

However!

When he finished looking through it all, he was completely dumbfounded!

“There… there's none further down either…”

“Impossible!”

Feng Qingyang stood up, “I've seen the enrollment roster. I saw Director Liu's son's name and information. How could his name not be there?”

“Besides, there's only one student with the surname Liu in your department. Is it that hard to find?”

“Only one?” The male teacher scanned again.

Whoosh!

The next moment!

The male teacher's face suddenly turned pale, his hands trembled, his legs went weak, and he actually sat directly on the ground.

“What's wrong with you?” Feng Qingyang frowned.

Everyone else around was also puzzled.

Gulp!

The male teacher swallowed hard, stammering, “Director… Director Liu… What… what's your son's name?”

“Liu Zhi, of course. Zhi as in 'great ambition,' not some obscure character.” Liu Jiangyi said without thinking, blurting it out.

Boom!

These words, like a bolt from the blue, completely terrified the male teacher.

Not only that!

The young student and the new students around them were also terrified at this moment.

“Liu… Liu Zhi? Wasn't that cripple just now named Liu Zhi?”

“Definitely! Young Miss Murong said it herself, I couldn't have misremembered!”

“Damn it! How could that poor cripple be Director Liu's son? This isn't logical!”

“Wait! I knew Young Miss Murong wouldn't possibly fall for an ordinary person. If he's Director Liu's son, then that explains everything!”

“It's over! Not only did we miss the opportunity to curry favor with Director Liu's son, but we even offended him?”

“…”

Liu Jiangyi wasn't stupid.

The students' discussions and the male teacher's fear made him instantly realize something was wrong.

Whoosh!

Liu Jiangyi suddenly stood up, stepped forward, grabbed the male teacher's collar, and demanded, “You've seen my son, haven't you?”

“I… I really didn't know he was your son, otherwise I… I definitely wouldn't have acted that way, I…”

The male teacher was almost in tears.

He truly felt incredibly wronged.

If you're Director Liu's son, why didn't you say so earlier!

Having such a powerful backing and not mentioning it, yet still pretending to be pitiful, you're not messing with yourself, you're messing with me!
