129: Which time?

“You, can’t you tell there’s a misunderstanding here?”

Yu Youya sighed and gently tapped Xiao Yun’s head.

“These people have all heard your name, but I didn’t expect Li Wenzhe to be so proactive. He Mo must have thought he was ‘Xiao Yun’.”

“I know, I was just joking,” Xiao Yun said with a faint smile.

At this moment, He Mo, with his arm around Li Wenzhe, was already walking towards the teaching building.

The principal was still searching for a high-EQ response, and the homeroom teachers reluctantly followed behind them, thinking of emergency countermeasures.

No one wanted to speak up at this moment, lest they cause the leader to lose face, and then they would be the ones to suffer.

There was no other way; such was the social atmosphere, and they didn’t want to take that risk.

Only Yu Youya stopped, looking at Xiao Yun with a mix of amusement and exasperation.

“You, if you had just come to school earlier and waited, this situation wouldn’t have happened, right?”

“I couldn’t help it; running the Dam was more important,” Xiao Yun said helplessly.

“Hmph, this Li Wenzhe, he always likes to act mature in front of adults.”

Liu Shihhan rolled her eyes when she saw this scene.

She knew what Li Wenzhe was like in private.

At this moment, with his intelligence, he probably hadn't realized that He Mo had mistaken him for someone else; instead, he was enjoying the feeling of being praised by everyone.

“Now, we should think about how to make them realize that you are Xiao Yun, in a reasonable and dignified way, right?”

Qian Gang, who was beside them, also hadn’t expected such a thing to happen.

“That’s simple,” Yu Youya said with a faint smile, then turned slightly and exclaimed in a surprised tone, “Oh! Xiao Yun, why are you only just arriving? Xiao Yun, the teacher has been trying to reach you all morning. Why are you only just getting here now?”

To prevent the staff from thinking they misheard, Yu Youya specifically repeated Xiao Yun’s name twice.

And as soon as she spoke, their steps indeed stopped.

“Hmm? Xiao Yun?”

He Mo sharply turned his head, his brows tightly furrowed, looking towards the school gate.

And as soon as he stopped, the surrounding staff also turned around in surprise.

Just then, Xiao Yun also immediately cooperated with Yu Youya’s performance.

“I couldn’t help it, Teacher. Liu Shihhan and I are still pushing for our ranks. We just completed a high-value extraction!”

“Oh? What rank is Xiao Yun at now?”

“I should be Diamond soon. Just waiting for the GTI rank update!” Xiao Yun said with a smile.

“What?! Diamond?”

“So he’s the real Xiao Yun?”

“In the office just now, wasn’t it said that he had just entered the restricted area? How is he almost Diamond already?”

“Oh my! Then he must have brought out a pile of valuable supplies again!”

“Young and promising, young and promising!”

The staff members discussed amongst themselves.

At this moment, He Mo’s eyebrows also raised, and he released Li Wenzhe.

“Hey? Uncle He, aren’t you here for me? I’m the one recommended for Tsinghua and Peking!”

Li Wenzhe quickly said at this point.

“What’s your name?”

He Mo glanced at him, and to prevent himself from making another mistake, he specifically asked.

“I’m Li Wenzhe, Uncle He. You should know me, Leijian Group, you should have an impression!”

“Oh, Leijian Group, I’ve heard of it,” He Mo said, his gaze at Li Wenzhe becoming somewhat cold.

Leijian Group, as Haibei City’s largest urban construction and real estate company, he naturally knew about it.

However, he didn't have a good impression of this group.

After all, in this era, the restricted zone was the future of the city.

Such traditional industries were a thing of the past.

What's more.

Having been in officialdom for so many years, how could He Mo not know where these rich kids' achievements came from?

No matter how good their grades were, they weren’t achieved by themselves.

This practice of relying on family and background, while effective in traditional society, was quite unreliable in this era where restricted zones had globally descended.

Just like Leijian Group, although they controlled so much money, their family had never produced a high-ranking talent with real abilities in the restricted zone. They didn't even dare to invest in restricted zone-related industries or private teams.

Impacted by the restricted zone economy, society's understanding of economics was undergoing a change.

Most second-generation rich only relied on their families to achieve good grades, which looked good on the surface but had no real impact on social development.

Only those who relied on themselves could create greater value in the restricted zone.

For example, Xiao Yun, right in front of him.

“Xiao Yun, I didn’t expect you to arrive so quickly.”

He Mo said, then strode towards the school gate.

“Let me introduce myself, my name is He Mo, and I am mainly responsible for restricted zone-related affairs in this city.”

Xiao Yun nodded silently, saying nothing more.

He Mo was immediately a little embarrassed, while Liu Shihhan had an expression of watching a good show.

“I came in a hurry this time and even mistook someone, I’m truly sorry,” He Mo said, seeing their expressions, and was immediately very sincere.

“It’s alright, Leader, you’ve also worked hard,” Xiao Yun said with a faint smile, also quite surprised by He Mo’s proper attitude.

He hadn't expected a leader to actually apologize proactively.

This indicated either that He Mo valued him immensely, or that he had a good character.

Of course, it was also possible that both were true.

“How about this, you’ve worked hard running the Dam in the restricted zone. Why don’t we sit and chat in the principal’s office?”

At this moment, Yu Youya also smiled.

“I know the principal keeps two thousand yuan per gram of West Lake Longjing tea in his drawer. I’ll brew some for you to drink.”

...

“My West Lake Longjing tea!”

The few of them walked into the principal’s office and sat down.

Seeing Yu Youya skillfully taking out tea from the drawer and brewing it, the principal felt a pang of heartache.

I knew my tea was being drunk too quickly; it was you all along!

However, at a time like this, he couldn’t say much.

He Mo, Yu Youya, Xiao Yun, and Liu Shihhan, who were sitting there, were all people he couldn't afford to offend!

The rest of the staff members excused themselves to tour the campus, having the teachers lead them away.

Including Qian Gang, they also left.

“Wait, what about me?”

Seeing everyone leave, Li Wenzhe was also a little puzzled.

“What about you? We haven’t even talked about you yet! Hurry and come with me!”

Chen Ping quickly pulled him along and followed the others out.

And at this moment.

With no one else in the principal’s office, He Mo slowly began to speak.

“Alright, Xiao Yun, besides meeting you, you should already know the main reason I came. I want to know what supplies you brought out this time?”

Hearing this question, Xiao Yun was not in a hurry to answer.

He took a sip of tea, then calmly said,

“Are you referring to red-level supplies?”

“Exactly,” He Mo said with a faint smile.

His previous guess was indeed accurate; since Xiao Yun could achieve a 1.6 million extraction from Dam No. 0, he must have found red-level supplies.

These items held immense value, both economically and technologically, and would greatly boost the city’s GTI ranking!

However, Xiao Yun’s next words made He Mo momentarily stunned.

“Which time?”

Which time?

Did that mean he had brought out red-level supplies more than once?
