Chapter 604: You Know I Never Take the 'Back Door'

The other school leaders at the table were also chiming in with agreement.

Even Baili Xia joined in the chorus, “You are all so busy, where do you find the time to participate in matches?”

“Don’t worry, I’m not like some limping folks. Playing in these kinds of matches won’t be a problem,” Mu Xiaojiu said casually, his gaze subtly sweeping towards Dongfang Jin, who was sitting on the other side of Baili Xia.

Dongfang Jin was immediately incensed, “Some people speak nonsense but sadly, they are not truly competent.”

Instantly, the two men were at each other’s throats, looking as if they were ready for a major showdown.

Seeing the two bosses squaring off again, Principal Zhao couldn’t help but wear a helpless expression.

The problem now didn’t seem to be about whether or not to let them participate.

Rather, these two are always spoiling for a fight.

They really didn’t dare to offend either party.

Looking at the two men, Baili Xia couldn’t help but want to laugh a little.

Whenever the ordinarily cold and domineering two came together, sparks would fly.

She knew them, even though they always argued, when faced with real danger, they’d extend a helping hand to each other.

Just like that day in the movie theater.

When it really became dangerous, weren’t they rushing to save each other?

Only she didn’t know why; they always argued when they met.

Uncle’s cold demeanor, Dongfang Jin’s elegant nobility, all gone once they confronted each other.

There was indeed such a person, completely unafraid of Uncle.

In front of this person, Uncle was more like a flesh and blood mortal.

But here, she could only step in and pacify them.

“Even if you join the team, you have to pass the evaluation. We don’t want someone dragging us down,” Baili Xia said, looking at the two of them with amusement in her eyes.

Finally, there was an opportunity to rein in Uncle.

This felt great.

However, Baili Xia’s words had scared the others.

Was she hinting that Mr.

Xiaojiu and Mr.

Jin were incompetent?

In Jin City, there were indeed very few people who dared to question them to their faces.

Was this girl fearless or simply unaware of the danger?

Several faculty members were terrified.

Ning Anran was also very anxious, feeling uneasy.

But Xiaxia’s words were already out in the open, and it was too late to stop her.

“You little girl dare to assess me?” Mu Xiaojiu was the first to express his displeasure.

He had never been doubted in this way by anyone before.

Dongfang Jin, however, supported Baili Xia’s proposition.

“That’s fine, an assessment is no problem. I don’t need special treatment,” he said, pouring scorn on Mu Xiaojiu with a teasing tone.

Before Mu Xiaojiu could explode again, Baili Xia quickly spoke up.

“Fine, we’ll discuss in a group meeting later about the details of this evaluation, and then let you know how it will be conducted. You’ll see then if you’re in or out,” she said.

b>She gently tugged at Mu Xiaojiu’s sleeve and softened her tone, “Uncle, does that sound good to you?”

The best outcome would be if he said it was not okay.

That he didn’t have time for such frivolous games.

That way, everyone would be off the hook.

But unfortunately, Uncle didn’t seem interested in doing what she suggested.

Mu Xiaojiu had been silenced by Baili Xia and Dongfang Jin’s words.

He couldn’t find anything to argue back with.

Even if he had the skill, Dongfang Jin had made it clear.

Without an assessment, he would be asking for special treatment.

“Fine, I have no problem with the assessment. Just let me know when it’s set,” He looked at Baili Xia, a smirk crossing his lips.

“You know, I’ve never been a fan of favors.”

“…” With a clatter, Baili Xia’s fingers trembled and the spoon in her hand immediately fell to the floor.
