Chapter 918: Strategist

November 6th was a Wednesday. I wasn’t sure if it was because it was ‘The International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict’, but many things happened that day.

First, Loud Mouth said her cousin received a scam phone call and was scammed out a thousand dollars. When she tried to report it, the police said they didn’t take cases under a certain amount. She was furious and asked if anyone had any good ideas.

Loud Mouth, I think you have a bit too many cousins! Also why does each one of them seem pretty dumb? I vaguely remember a distant cousin of yours was tricked and trapped in the basement in the countryside and was only recently saved by the police!

Zhuang Ni, who heard what Loud Mouth said, was completely uninterested and said:

“Tell your cousin to give the scammer another couple hundred dollars so it’s enough money to open a case —— if that’s still not enough, you could hire a struggling foreign actor from Film City. As long as a foreigner reports a case, then the police can make sure the case clearance rate will exceed a hundred percent. It’s like that time during the Olympics when a Japanese person lost a bike in Wuhan.”

Loud Mouth followed Zhuang Ni’s first suggestion. They successfully reported the scammer to the police and eventually the scammer was caught. It was because the scammer thought Loud Mouth’s cousin was either foolish or had too much money to spend because she sent him again, so he tried to continue to deceive her, but inadvertently revealed too much information and gave the police a lead.

As the saying goes, when it rains it pours. Our PE teacher, Li DaYong, had to return to his hometown to attend his uncle’s funeral. This trip would take almost a week in total, so he couldn’t supervise our PE classes for the time being.

PE classes in our third year weren’t ordinary PE classes. The teachers had the responsibility of ensuring students met the physical standards for the high school entrance examinations. That’s why we had to have a teacher for the class. The vice principal somehow managed to get a substitute PE teacher we hadn’t seen before, and this guy didn’t seem like a good person.

He was in his forties and he had a goatee. The substitute PE teacher was called Xie JingChong and he always had a lecherous look on his face. As soon as the class started, he couldn’t take his eyes off Gong CaiCai’s chest.

By the way, this was the first time I attended a PE class in my third year. As my heart condition had improved, so even if I didn’t resume my role as the male PE committee member, I still attended PE classes. At the very least, I could engage in rehabilitative training or play basketball for leisure.

In the end, things often went contrary to one’s wishes. Xie JingChong dismissed the boys and gave us free time, but I couldn’t play basketball with peace of mind. It was because Xie JingChong used the excuse of instructing the girls and took every opportunity to come into close contact with them.

The worst part was that he seemed fairly experienced at it. He always made sure he was somewhere between ‘guidance’ and ‘sexual harassment’ which made the girls suspicious, but they were unable to say anything.

Of course, if the class leader was here, she would definitely not let Xie JingChong get away with it. Unfortunately, the class leader was called away by the vice principal. Apparently, it was to discuss who should be the permanent homeroom teacher of class 3-3.

The class leader wasn’t here. Zhuang Ni never attends PE class, so she wasn’t here either. Xiao Qin was depressed because she broke Teacher Song bones yesterday. Even Loud Mouth and Little Smart weren’t here because of personal reasons.

Xiong YaoYue, the female PE committee member, was present, but she had never been very sensitive to sexual harassment. Even when Xie JingChong pressed on her thighs while she did more than 20 sit-ups, she felt that it was the responsibility of the teacher and didn’t feel like she was being sexually harassed at all.

Niu ShiLi and I both thought Xie JingChong was suspicious and watched him instruct the girls. As soon as he noticed us, he immediately stopped doing anything wrong and made us unable to catch him in the act. We could only hope that one of the girls would take the initiative and call out Xie JingChong’s inappropriate actions so that we have a reason to come forward.

The biggest hope was Gong CaiCai, because she was the one who was being stared at the most by Xie JingChong. However, Gong CaiCai was too submissive and the class leader wasn’t around, so even if she was touched by Xie JingChong, she wouldn’t complain and rather would be even more embarrassed to complain to the boys.

“We can’t let him do whatever he wants in the next class!” After the PE class, several girls said angrily, “What does he mean by instructing us, he obviously just wants to touch us!”

“No?” Xiong YaoYue was dumbfounded and still didn’t understand, “I think it’s normal physical contact?”

“That’s because you don’t care, and Xie JingChong thinks you’re not easy to mess with, so that’s what gave you that misconception! My butt was touched several times! I’ll tell the class leader when she comes back!”

These girls asked Gong CaiCai where Xie JingChong touched her. Gong CaiCai felt so bad that she couldn’t answer her classmates’ questions and started crying instead. It made me think: if Xie JingChong was simply handed over to the school to be scolded, then it would be letting him off the hook too easily.

It seems that he works as a PE teacher in another school in the city and he was temporarily assigned to 28 Middle. If he goes back and continues to be cocky, then won’t it make everyone think that 28 Middle is easy to bully?

I have to give him a good beating.

However, Shu Zhe also attended the same PE class with us. He also watched for a long time and felt bad for the girls (after he started to like women’s clothing, he seemed to gradually side with the girls).

“Brother Ye Lin, you don’t have to do anything.” He noticed that I wanted to lynch Xie JingChong, “I have a way to deal with him.”

“You? What can you do? —— Even though he’s a PE teacher, he’s very weak. He can’t be compared to Li DaYong. I can beat him after school by myself!”

“Anyway, brother Ye Lin, don’t do anything today. He’ll get what’s coming to him tomorrow.

As if to prove his wisdom, Shu Zhe stopped me from using violence.

The next day, the class leader reported to the vice-principal that the substitute PE teacher had molested the girls. Before anything happened, news came that Xie JingChong had been beaten badly and was hospitalized.

Although Xie JingChong had a sack put over his head from behind, and he couldn’t see his attacker, I could determine the attacker based on what they said: it was Li CunZhuang from class 3-2.

Later I questioned Shu Zhe, and sure enough, Shu Zhe lied to Li CunZhuang and said that the class leader had been molested by the PE teacher. Li CunZhuang, who had a crush on the class leader, was furious and immediately listened to Shu Zhe and ambushed Xie JingChong on his way home.

Not only that, Shu Zhe also found out Xie JingChong’s home address. He then hired a lot of elementary school students to throw stones at Xie JingChong’s windows.

I have to say that although Shu Zhe played underhanded tricks, it was quite satisfying when it was used to punish the PE teacher. When the Five Tiger Punishment Squad heard about the incident from me later, they also praised Shu Zhe wits.

“As expected of Brother Ye’s strategist! But, you said earlier that we should get to know our strategist more, but why didn’t you arrange for us to meet…”

What arrangement! I remember you guys even reacted to Shu Zhe’s naked body. Now that Shu Zhe has become a femboy both physically and mentally, how could I let him get close to you guys again? I’d already be very happy if the class leader doesn’t find out what happened between him and Fan Chuan!

The incident ended with Xie JingChong getting a beating and his attacker was never caught (in addition, he had to pay to repair his own windows after being discharged from the hospital). Since he already had a bad reputation for touching female students, he was nicknamed the ‘Ejaculate Bug’, so no one sympathized with him. His former colleagues even agreed that he deserved it.

So, on the day that marked the beginning of winter, we were able to get rid of the perverted PE teacher. Li DaYong, the PE teacher, found out about it and was enraged. He said that if he were present, he would have taught the scum a lesson with his own hands.

Regarding the beginning of winter, Uncle Fireball lamented: “When I was a forest ranger, every time winter began, I would have to pay more attention to fire prevention in the forest. After all, the air becomes drier in the winter…”

The store management strategy that my dad had recently discussed with Uncle Fireball and Director Cao was to expand their scale, enhance brand awareness, do what he loves, and try to make ‘Happy Valley Adult Goods Store’ a leader in the industry.

Everyone knew the benefits of being number one, so the closer you came to the top, the more intense the competition. After Happy Valley acquired the inventory of the Qiao Baby store, it encountered a competitor called ‘Ku Se’ during its rise.

Speaking of the store called ‘Ku Se’, it’s a weird store! Its best-selling items were all Japanese brands, but the number one best-selling product wasn’t an adult product, but a Japanese-made elementary school student schoolbag (red) purchased from Japan.

Generally speaking, how could a schoolbag be the best-selling item in an adult goods store? If you look carefully at the items that came with the schoolbag, you would understand.

Super value set: Japanese primary school student red schoolbag + little yellow hat + hair trimmer or bondage rope (choose one of the two)

There was a photo of a Japanese AV actress wearing a red schoolbag and a little yellow hat while being held down by a man! It’s insane! Is it trying to encourage everyone to be interested in primary school students!

Director Cao said: We have to sell what others sell. He has connections in Japan and can easily order a series of goods including schoolbags.

My father objected and felt that it was going overboard. It was normal for adult product stores to be ‘adult-oriented’, but being ‘child-oriented’ was a bit inappropriate and we shouldn’t encourage society’s unhealthy interest in minors.

Uncle Fireball supported my dad on this matter, but he mainly felt that if the country cracked down on these goods in the future, it would result in more harm than good.

In the end, the Happy Valley Adult Goods store didn’t go down the same route as ‘Ku Se’, but ordered a lot of female-specific tools. After some research, they found that the demand of single women will be the main growth point of the adult products industry in the future.

Leaving aside the business of the store, on Saturday, before I ate the delicious food prepared by Xiao Qin and the class leader as promised, I first visited the monastery with Fang Xin. It was the the Jianren Monastery in the west of Dong Shan City.
