A young man from another world returned to his hometown.

Chapter 69 Wei Changfeng's Proud Disciple

"There's an interesting young man in a small town in this city. He's involved in local development and opened a vocational school. He invited me to be the principal, and he might want my help to develop some industries later on, right?"

"oh."

"Now, they want to build a primary school and a kindergarten, but that's just a pretext. My real thought is that the town's planning is a bit messy, and they need someone to take charge of the overall situation."

Wei Changfeng paused.

"The teacher will provide you with living facilities and internet-connected research equipment. You can do what you like while helping the teacher look after the kids for a while, and also observe this town. If you had sufficient funds, how would you plan your career?"

"How about we treat this trip to the countryside to cultivate our minds and heal our spirits?"

In the dimly lit room, Mu Jiuzhang fell silent. She looked at the packaging scattered all over the floor, and then listened to the teacher's still gentle and tolerant voice through the receiver. Her throat felt like it was blocked by something.

As Wei Changfeng's last disciple, she was once highly regarded, but now? Because she refused to work on a fake document, she was subjected to passive-aggressive treatment and marginalized, feeling like a loser. She felt she had disgraced her teacher.

"……teacher."

Mu Jiuzhang took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth.

"I think about that data every time I lie in bed. The error is huge. It's not the fine-tuning they mentioned. The mistake wasn't mine."

"Hehehe..."

On the other end of the phone, Wei Changfeng let out a kind laugh.

The teacher knows, don't I understand my last disciples? They're the ones who're wrong. Since the city's concrete roads are too uncomfortable, they should come and walk on the muddy roads in the countryside.

Mu Jiuzhang's eyes reddened, and he sniffed, but he quickly resumed his slow, deliberate way of speaking.

"I'm willing to go, but I have conditions."

"you say."

Old Wei answered with a smile.

"I need a commercial broadband connection because my topology calculations require frequent access to overseas databases."

Mu Jiuzhang had already stood up from his chair and started packing his suitcase.

"Secondly, I only focus on planning and teaching; I don't get involved in those social niceties."

"Haha, okay, it's a deal! Your teacher will back you up!"

After hanging up the phone, Mu Jiuzhang immediately deleted the group chat history.

"What a piece of junk! I'm not serving you anymore."

At the entrance of Tamura Village, the Mixue Building.

Lin Jiayao stretched his neck out very long.

"I can't wait!"

Old Wei called him yesterday, saying that he had a prized student who was willing to come to Tiancun to help out.

Lin Jiayao immediately pictured a middle-aged researcher in his mind. After all, Wei Lao's prized student must be a scholar who had been working in the field for many years, right?

"Jiayao!"

Lin Yecheng also arrived.

"Master Wei's apprentice? He must be a pedantic old scholar. I'll go and bring that grand chair over!"

"Yes, yes, move it here!"

They weren't paying any attention while they were discussing it.

A sporty SUV has already driven itself into the village.

The person who got out of the car was not the middle-aged male teacher Lin Jiayao had imagined.

A woman wearing flat shoes stepped onto the concrete pavement, followed by a woman in a very smartly tailored suit, holding a long-handled umbrella.

The elders in the village looked on in surprise, wondering why a female CEO of a large corporation had come to the village.

Mu Jiuzhang walked slowly along the cement road in the village. From the town to the village, her brows had been furrowed the whole time.

"The paved road meets national highway standards, and the drainage ditch slope is well-treated so there is no water accumulation, but the steel structure building is aesthetically terrible."

There is an open space in the village where building materials are piled up, with some red bricks, fine sand, and other prefabricated components scattered around.

At that moment, a group of children were gathered among the pile of things, using the building materials to build a secret base.

Leading the group was a little girl with pink hair and two small pigtails on her head, next to whom stood a little girl with brown hair. Behind the two little girls followed a group of little followers from the village.

The pink-haired girl had one hand on her hip, and with the other small hand, she was tossing and catching several red bricks. The bricks were thrown a few meters into the air and then landed back in her palm, as if she were playing with building blocks.

The little followers beside him looked on with admiration.

"Nia is amazing!"

"One more, Lady Nia!"

Mu Jiuzhang stared at the group of children, her brows furrowed. She wasn't concerned about why the little girl was so strong, but rather about the half-built secret base behind the children.

"..."

Mu Jiuzhang pushed up his glasses with his finger.

"The structure is poorly built; based on stress analysis, it should collapse soon."

The cheers of her little followers made Nia even more smug. The two little buns that her dragon horns had conjured trembled. However, this time, she was too excited.

"what?"

Nia felt her hand slip, and the red brick flew out of her hand in a perfect parabola towards the beautiful woman in a suit not far away.

The children around started screaming and yelling wildly.

"Ah! Sister, watch out!"

Nia was the first to react; she kicked off with her short legs and tried to rush over to stop the brick.

But... before she could make a move.

Mu Jiuzhang stood still, gracefully turning halfway around. In a fraction of a second, her brain completed a series of complex calculations.

Initial velocity, launch angle, mass, optimal interception point...

Mu Jiuzhang raised the long-handled umbrella in his hand and, at an extremely tricky angle, cleaved Mount Hua in two with a powerful strike, achieving a perfect angle perpendicular to the tangent of speed.

"Bang!"

The brick, powerful enough to smash her head, changed its trajectory like a falling leaf, without even a speck of dust landing on her.

"..."

"..."

In the open space, the children who had just been covering their eyes were now completely silent, staring in disbelief at the scene before them, their eyes widening and mouths agape.

Wow! What a cool older sister!

"He seems even more formidable than the boss."

"Nonsense, Lady Nia is the most, most, most amazing!"

The children started wailing again, and Nia stopped halfway through her run.

"This...this human...is amazing..."

Mu Jiuzhang put down his umbrella and patted off non-existent dust from his hands.

Nia and Miki thought the human was about to get angry. After all, he had almost been hit on the head by a brick. Anyone would be angry in that situation, right?

However, Mu Jiuzhang simply walked forward and came to the side of the secret base that was not yet fully built.

"Your approach of consciously emphasizing the bottom layer is correct."

Mu Jiuzhang spoke slowly.

"However, the angle of inclination is too large, and the center of gravity of the cantilevered top is completely off from the support point. It will collapse before long. This is not a qualified building."

"..."

Nia blinked.

???

What a joke! She and Miki spent the whole morning building it, how could it possibly collapse so soon?
