Chapter 1273 — The First Head-On Clash - "I..." Xie Yufeng was furious! I donate money and I still have to queue up? Xie Yufeng had meant to be the first to donate, to leave Qiu Lingshan with an impression of warmth and zeal, but instead he only made a fool of himself, and Fatty Shen had ruined it for him!

By now, the students in the audience who knew nothing of the matter were buzzing with speculation.
"Isn't Xie Yufeng a student? Why is he donating along with people from the outside world?" one student asked.
"Exactly. Isn't he just trying to show off that he's rich, and a big shot too?" said another.
Xie Yufeng's face turned ugly at once. What he had meant as a chance to shine had come to this instead, and he shot Fatty Shen a venomous glare.
"Forget it, Fatty Shen. Let someone else donate first. We're all giving out of the goodness of our hearts, so who goes first and who goes last makes no difference." Zou Tiandi, for his part, was in no hurry to donate now. Since this had happened and the young man was already up on stage, if he still insisted on going first, Wei Zhao might see through his flattery and find it affected. Better to let the boy go ahead.
"Hmph! Consider yourself lucky. You go first!" Fatty Shen released Xie Yufeng and said to him.
At that moment Xie Yufeng's face was full of grievance. What kind of nonsense was this? He donated money and only earned himself a heap of blame! Donating ought to be a glorious, honorable thing; Xie Yufeng had wanted to display his own grace and bearing through it. But now a fat man stood beside him like a supervisor, constantly urging him to hurry up, and it was driving Xie Yufeng mad!
"So that the orphans in the orphanage can live better lives, I have decided to donate two hundred thousand!" Xie Yufeng declared smugly as he strode onto the stage and addressed Tang Zhi and Gu Mengyao.
"Thank you for your support, classmate Xie Yufeng." Tang Zhi smiled sweetly and nodded to him.
Though she disliked this Xie Yufeng in her heart, Tang Zhi was the host now, and since Xie Yufeng was a donor, she could not let her feelings color how she treated him.
Xie Yufeng had originally wanted to take the microphone and say a few words. He had donated two hundred thousand, after all, and in his view that was surely the largest donation at the boxing arena, so he wanted to show off in front of Qiu Lingshan. But just as he was about to ask Tang Zhi for the microphone, he heard Fatty Shen say: "Two hundred thousand and you want to make a speech? Get off the stage, don't waste time. In a moment Boss Zou is going to donate five hundred thousand!"
Fatty Shen said this very loudly, and through the microphone in Tang Zhi's hand it carried down to the whole hall, making every student present burst out laughing.
Xie Yufeng felt his face burning. This was the most humiliating moment of his life. The few times he had been shamed before, Wei Zhao had seen it, but only on a small scale, and most people had not witnessed it. Today, though, it was not only in front of the entire school, but in front of Qiu Lingshan as well!
Xie Yufeng felt that if he did not say something, he would truly be a spineless coward! But looking at the burly Fatty Shen beside him, he knew that without using his true qi he was no match for the man. So Xie Yufeng settled for the next best thing and vented his resentment on Tang Zhi: "You b*tch, why didn't you turn off the microphone? Do you want to die?"
Xie Yufeng's voice, through the microphone in Tang Zhi's hand, spread through the entire school! Instantly the whole school was in an uproar!
Some people had found Xie Yufeng's behavior ridiculous before, but only ridiculous. Now, however, they held him in contempt! How could a person have so little class? Cursing the host the moment he opened his mouth? What did the host have to do with any of it?
"Is this guy sick? Has he gone crazy? Why is he acting like a mad dog? He made a fool of himself, and now he's cursing someone else?" Student A asked in astonishment.
"Hey, can't you see? He's not crazy at all. He's clever as can be! He bullies the weak and fears the strong. That fat man, he doesn't dare touch. So he starts raging at the host instead!" Student B explained.
