The Rise of Dragon Son-in-Law

"I’ve brought my sister to find the principal because I want her to be admitted to school. Could you tell me where the principal’s office is?"

Long Chen asked with a smile.

"Oh?"

The man with gold-rimmed glasses was taken aback and did not answer Long Chen’s question. Instead, he said indifferently, "School has already been in session for over a month now, and our school does not do special admissions. One must genuinely qualify through real knowledge and ability. What you’re attempting is futile and a waste of time. Please leave."

He waved his hand dismissively, without any expression on his face.

"How do you know it’s a waste of time without even trying? Moreover, my sister has exceptional talent. She will certainly be able to meet your esteemed school’s admission requirements on her own merit."

Long Chen said with a smile.

"Really?" The man with gold-rimmed glasses slightly lifted the corners of his mouth in a faint sneer, "Gaining admission to Qianzhou No. 1 Middle School is not easy. Setting aside the issue of your sister’s qualifications, even if she really does pass the exam, she absolutely won’t be admitted.

Here, not just anyone can casually enroll midterm. Forgive my bluntness, but who are you, and what is your status, that you dare to come directly to the principal with your sister? That’s simply overestimating yourself. Take my advice, don’t embarrass yourself. Go back where you came from and try a more ordinary school. Maybe there you might succeed, but here, certainly not."

"Are you a teacher at this school?"

Long Chen stared at the man with gold-rimmed glasses.

"What if I am?" The man pushed up his glasses, composed and relaxed, "If speaking the truth has hurt your pride, I won’t feel sorry. People should know their own worth. This place is not for you."

"Heh, I think there is a big problem with your quality and level. Are you sure that with your capabilities, teaching won’t lead students astray? If I were the owner of this school, you’d be the first one I’d fire for incompetence."

Long Chen said indifferently.

"Haha, really?" The man with gold-rimmed glasses laughed, "I’m sorry, but even if you were the principal, you probably couldn’t fire me. I won’t hide it from you, the real owner of this school is my uncle."

"Oh, so you are indeed a piece of scum who got in through the back door. Since that’s the case, today I simply must have you, who looks down on others, fired. If you’re not afraid of death, come with me to find the principal."

Long Chen said indifferently.

"Yo, feeling bold, huh? Fine, I happen to be free right now, and I want to see what you’re made of, but let me warn you, if you can’t fire me, then I will have to take action against you. With me around, not a single school in Qianzhou will accept your sister. What I say, I’ll make sure you understand what it means to offend Zhao Qiang."

Zhao Qiang said with a smirk that was almost a smile.

"Let’s wait and see."

Long Chen sneered and walked forward with Unrivaled.

A moment later, the three of them arrived at the door to the principal’s office.

Zhao Qiang didn’t know that the conversation he had just had with Long Chen had been overheard by several teachers who were passing by, and it quickly spread in a WeChat group.

"Is Zhao Qiang bullying someone again?"

"He’s really disgusting, isn’t this just bullying by throwing one’s weight around?"

"Though the guy who wants his sister to enroll midterm indeed doesn’t conform to the rules, isn’t Zhao Qiang being too excessive, thinking about banning them from school in Qianzhou?"

"They’ve entered the principal’s office, I’ll eavesdrop and keep you updated with the latest news."

...

Inside the principal’s office, the bald principal sat behind his desk, frowning as he watched Zhao Qiang and Long Chen, who had arrived with little Unrivaled.

"What is this all about, Zhao Qiang?"

The principal asked.

"Principal, this guy brought his sister here looking to enroll her midterm. I told him it was too late and tried to advise him kindly, but he felt my words were sarcastic and threatening to fire me, so I brought him to you to see how he’d try to fire me."

Zhao Qiang said with a smile.

"Is that so?"

Knowing Zhao Qiang’s temperament, the principal immediately guessed it must have been Zhao Qiang’s offensive, superior attitude that riled someone up to the point of wanting to fire him.

But because of Zhao Qiang’s background, the principal had no choice but to say to Long Chen, "This brother, enrolling midterm really isn’t quite possible. You should go back. If you wish to join our school, please make arrangements earlier next time at the start of school."

"Teacher Zhao has already said he’d bar my sister from schools across the entire Qianzhou district, stating no school would dare to admit her. Therefore, today, I must have a clear outcome. Either you fire Zhao Qiang, principal, or call over the school board chairman."

Long Chen said indifferently.

"That... Firing him is quite unlikely, as it involves a lot of complications, but I don’t understand—what does this have to do with the school board chairman?" The principal’s brow furrowed deeply.

"If you can’t handle it, I might just acquire this school. I would like to see if Zhao Qiang can be fired or not." Long Chen said calmly.

The principal, upon hearing this, was flabbergasted, and then could not help but chuckle, finding Long Chen rather amusing.

Zhao Qiang, on the other hand, laughed unrestrainedly, "Kid, having illusions of grandeur, huh? Come on, I’ll play along, want the chairman’s phone number? I’ll call him for you."

While talking, Zhao Qiang quickly dialed a number.

After getting through, Zhao Qiang’s expression became much more humble, and he spoke reverently, "Uncle, someone here wants to buy the school."

"Hmm? Who?"

A surprised voice came from the phone.

"I don’t know who he is, Uncle, maybe you should talk to him for a moment?"

"Alright, I am curious, who dares to acquire my school, here, give him the phone."

"Okay."

Zhao Qiang smiled and handed the phone to Long Chen.

Long Chen took the phone and immediately asked, "Are you currently in Qianzhou?"

"I am, but do you know who I am...?"

"I have no interest in who you are. My name is Long Chen, and your nephew’s snobbery has made me very uncomfortable. I am giving you twenty minutes to get to the school. Don’t be late. Whether you come or not, I advise you to choose wisely. Goodbye."

Long Chen had spoken and then hung up the phone, displaying a very strong attitude.

"Ha-ha, that’s it? I’m not trying to criticize you, but putting on such a show is truly pointless, you know. I urge you to just leave while you can. If my uncle really does show up, you probably won’t be able to get away, and by then, you’ll really be in a serious predicament."

Zhao Qiang laughed unabashedly.

Long Chen ignored Zhao Qiang and sat down with Little Unrivaled, planning to wait for twenty minutes.

...

At this moment, in a luxurious villa in Qianzhou, Zhao Qiang’s own uncle held his phone, frowning in thought.

"Uncle, why are you frowning? It’s rare to see you troubled. Could it be that my uninvited presence has displeased you?"

A woman in white, carrying fruit, placed it on the dinner table, smiling at the man.

This woman was voluptuous, her mature charm particularly enthralling, like a juicy peach, at the most enchanting age for a woman.

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Nonsense. I’m just puzzled. I just got a call from someone named Long Chen, who claims he wants to buy my school. I’ve thought it over and over, but I’ve never heard of such a person in Qianzhou. Is it a prank, or is the other party really someone formidable? I can’t quite grasp it. Han Yun, do you think your uncle should..."

"Wait a minute, who did you say just now? Long Chen?"

Han Yun’s eyes brightened.

"Yes, he said his name is Long Chen and gave me twenty minutes to get there. He seemed very assertive."

"Oh my god, uncle, that might be the leader of Dragon Doctor, no, now it should be said the boss of Eastern Dragon Shadow Group. You don’t recognize such a person?"

Han Yun’s eyes widened.

"Damn."

The middle-aged man stood up abruptly, his eyes wide as well, letting out a curse, "Could it be that Zhao Qiang, that bastard, has offended Long Chen?"

"That’s obvious, isn’t it? From the look of things, he has probably offended him, and in a fit of anger, the person wants to directly purchase the school. However, it’s not out of the question that someone is playing a prank," said Han Yun.

"No matter what, we have to go and see for ourselves. If we don’t and he really is Long Chen, then I, Zhao Tiangang, might just capsize in the sewer because of that bastard Zhao Qiang," mumbled Zhao Tiangang.

"Uncle, I’ll come with you. If it really is Long Chen, I’d like to meet him up close to see how this favored son of heaven is different from ordinary people," Han Yun said.

"Good, let’s leave immediately."

...

About twenty minutes later, Han Yun and Zhao Tiangang arrived at the school principal’s office.

The moment they entered the office, Han Yun immediately recognized Long Chen.

She had never met Long Chen, but by a stroke of luck, she had seen his photo.

Zhao Tiangang had never seen Long Chen, so he wasn’t sure if it was really him and thus looked at Han Yun.

Han Yun nodded and whispered, "Uncle, it’s indeed Long Chen himself."

Hearing this, Zhao Tiangang took a sharp breath and his face changed color.

Zhao Qiang, oblivious to all this, saw his uncle arrive and hurried forward with a smile, "Uncle, you really came, huh? This guy is full of hot air. Today we’ll teach him a lesson, and let him learn the breadths of heaven and earth."

Smack.

As soon as Zhao Qiang finished speaking, Zhao Tiangang, fueled by rage, slapped Zhao Qiang hard across the face.

The slap was so forceful that Zhao Qiang nearly had his teeth knocked out; he stared at Zhao Tiangang, holding his face in disbelief, "Uncle, you... you..."

"Shut your mouth, you disrespectful cur. Say one more word, and I swear I’ll finish you off right here and now," Zhao Tiangang bellowed furiously.

The old principal, sensing that things were turning sour, quickly stood up.

Han Yun swiftly walked over to Long Chen, extending her hand with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Long Chen. My name is Han Yun. Hearing that you were here, I came especially with my uncle to meet you."

"Hello."

Long Chen shook hands with Han Yun and swiftly took her measure.

This woman had a seductive figure and a distinguished air about her, clearly not a common character.

Zhao Tiangang hurried forward too, bowing deeply, and spoke with immense respect, "Mr. Long Chen, my nephew Zhao Qiang does not know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth, and his ignorant eyes failed to recognize a nobleman upon arrival at the school. It can be excused. I hope Mr. Long Chen won’t stoop to the level of an idiotic dog."

"Mr. Zhao, then, what do you think? Should someone like Zhao Qiang, that idiotic dog, be permanently expelled?"

Long Chen asked with a smile.
