Chapter 682 Confidence
Luo Xiangshi followed. In addition to the twelve students who came to participate in the competition this time, Jin Shengchao, the principal of Haoxia, Chen Yongcheng, the director of academic affairs, and Gao Zhimin, the chief of the security department of the group, also came.
In addition, twelve security guards came from the security department, but they all stayed at the bottom of the mountain and did not go up the mountain.
Following Luo Xiangshi was a strange face that Cao Youyi didn't recognize.
It was a man wearing a windbreaker and a top hat, holding a gentleman's sword in his hand. He seemed to have noticed that Cao Youyi was observing him, and quickly turned his face away, not daring to look at Cao Youyi at all.
But he didn't expect Cao Youyi to speak directly, "I haven't asked for your name yet?"
The man opened his mouth and hesitated, unable to say a word for a long time.
Finally, Luo Xiangshi said, "He is Ye Wangshu's great-great-grandson Ye Meisheng, and he is also the only descendant of the Ye family. Since I have an agreement with Principal Ma, I will naturally abide by the agreement and bring someone who can open the iron box." .”
Cao Youyi glanced at the timid Ye Meisheng again and frowned, "Why is Ye Wangshu's great-great-grandson in your hands, Boss Luo?"
"He found me on his own and said he wanted to use the Ye family's secrets to exchange money from me for emergency use." Luo Xiangshi said calmly.
"You are in trouble, why don't you show kindness first?" Cao Youyi asked Ye Meisheng again.
"I contacted Principal Cao and wrote him a letter when I first returned to China, but Principal Cao was unwilling to agree to my request." Ye Meisheng said.
"What do you want?"
"I lost money in business and need some money to tide me over." Ye Meisheng hesitated.
Luo Xiangshi, who was on the side, did not tolerate him and directly exposed his lie, "He collaborated with others to smuggle opium, and even the ship and cargo were detained by the customs. Moreover, he was also on the wanted list. He wanted money to bribe the General Taxation Department. .”
"If I hadn't provided him with asylum, he would have been captured by the customs. In addition, I promised to give him 20,000 yuan, but he had to wait until the box was opened to see what was inside."
Cao Youyi frowned even more tightly and looked at Ye Meisheng, wanting to say something, but in the end she just sighed.
On the contrary, Ye Meisheng was a little unhappy. Seeing that the secret was revealed, he simply broke the jar.
"This school was founded by my great ancestor. Strictly speaking, the things in the box belong to our family. I just want our family's own things back. What's wrong?
"Besides, it's not like I didn't give you a chance. I already told you that I contacted Principal Cao first, but not only did he not give me the money, he also persuaded me to surrender. Is this ridiculous?"
Cao Youyi didn't bother to tell him more and just led the way. Ye Meisheng muttered a few words and then came closer to Luo Xiangshi.
"Boss Luo, you have to keep what you promised me. If the hero loses to Houde, you have to give me the money."
Luo Xiangshi, who was watching Ye Wangshu's descendants and the virtuous dog biting the dog, was very happy. Hearing this sentence, he felt as if he had eaten a fly.
He waved his hand, "I know, just stay here."
Ye Meisheng was still a little worried, and said to Cao Youyi, "Teacher Cao, you have heard what Boss Luo said, and you can give me a witness when the time comes."
Today's Houde is more lively than ever. In addition to the two sides participating in the war and a group of reporters, there are also many government officials and Houde alumni.
But the most important ones are Chairman Li and Governor Zheng. These two are the number one and two figures in the official circles of Dongshan Province, and they are also invited to watch the battle.
In the end, more than 150 guests came up the mountain, and Cao Youyi organized a press conference before the fight started.
As the protagonists, Luo Xiangshi and Ma Lu attended the press conference together.
A group of reporters below actively asked questions.
"Boss Luo, Haoxia and Houde are ranked 4th and 89th in the Ministry of Education. There is a difference of 85 places. Does this mean that there is no suspense in this battle?" Luo Xiangshi said, "The rankings of both of us are different. The gap is indeed huge, but I won’t say that Heroes will definitely win.”
Although he said this, his confident look already gave the real answer.
"Excuse me, in such a disparate competition, is the hero suspected of bullying the smaller ones?" The next question came from a reporter from another newspaper in Xindu.
On the surface, he was questioning the heroes, but in fact, he was giving Luo Xiangshi a message and giving him a chance to explain.
Sure enough, Luo Xiangshi said, "Challenging Hao Xia is actually the result of negotiations between the two parties, and as a concession, we also gave up the home field advantage. The challenge was initiated by Hao Xia. In the case of a tie, we will be directly awarded the loss. The most important thing is that this It was also approved by Principal Ma.”
The reporter quickly turned his head and looked at Ma Lu aside, "Principal Ma, if you choose Hero to challenge, are you confident that you can defeat Hero?"
This problem is quite insidious. If Ma Lu says he is confident, but then loses, the media will portray him as a headstrong person who does not know what is high and what is high.
But if you say you don't have confidence, it will affect Houde's morale before the war.
And Malu's answer was straightforward, "Of course."
"Do you really think that virtue can defeat heroes? Can you tell me where your confidence comes from?"
The reporter continued to ask.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"You will know after the fight. I agree with what your colleague said before. There is a huge gap in strength between the two sides, but Houde has the upper hand."
Although the reporter hoped to get evidence that Ma Lu Yelang was arrogant, he was stunned when he heard the other party's confident answer.
However, many photographers captured the disdainful expression on Luo Xiangshi's face when he heard this sentence.
However, Luo Xiangshi was not happy for long, and soon it was his turn to be strengthened again.
"I heard a rumor that Boss Luo sent someone to steal this iron box from Houde. Is this true?"
The questioner was Lu Yingying from Pingcheng Daily. Luo Xiangshi's face suddenly darkened when he heard this question.
"I found the iron box from outside, it was not stolen from Houdeli."
"But there is a secret charm left by Principal Ma."
"…………"
The interview lasted for half an hour, and the reporters were still a little unfinished. However, with the impatient look on Governor Zheng's face, the reporters did not dare to ask any more questions.
Cao Youyi immediately ended the press conference and announced that the competition was about to begin.
After that, she invited Luo Xiangshi, heroes, teachers and students, and all the guests today to the back mountain.
Luo Xiangshi was startled when he heard this, "Why are you going to the back mountain?"
"It's a competition." Ma Lu said, "We set the venue for this competition in the back mountain."
"Isn't this illegal? I remember that the competition venue is not limited to the school." Luo Xiangshi said.
"This is indeed within the school," Ma Lu said leisurely, "We have great virtues and the campus is larger than ordinary schools. We occupy half of Shouyang Mountain, and even the back mountain is still within our school site."
