Zongman: Beginning and Snow under the Rain Escape from Raccoon City

No need.

She turned her face away, the tips of her ears turning slightly red: I can go to the cafeteria by myself—

Hmm? You just said you'd already eaten?

Ye Hai interrupted her, pushing the chopsticks forward further: "Hurry up, or I'll force-feed you with my mouth, just like you forced a kiss on me before."

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita blushed and opened her mouth slightly in resignation.

Chapter 42 Shizuka Hiratsuka

"One last bite, open your mouth, ah—"

A moment later, Ye Hai picked up the last bit with his chopsticks.

Yukino Yukinoshita gave him a shy glare, but ultimately relented and opened her mouth. Sunlight streamed through the gap in the curtains, illuminating her slightly flushed cheeks and adding a touch of softness to her cool and aloof demeanor.

This guy is really something else. Eating together is fine, but feeding him the whole time? What's with that?!

Just then, the classroom door was suddenly pushed open.

Yukinoshita, someone said that Ye Hai was with you just now...

Ms. Hiratsuka's voice abruptly stopped.

She looked at the scene before her and pushed up her glasses: It seems I've come at the wrong time?

Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly stood up, her face instantly flushed to her ears: Hiratsuka-sensei! Why didn't you knock again?

Ye Hai, however, calmly greeted her, "Yo~ Teacher Jing, so lovely~"

"You bastard! Show some respect to your teacher!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka punched Ye Hai directly on the head.

It doesn't hurt.

Leaving aside the unseen level 3 helmet.

Ye Hai's ability to withstand blows is also extremely strong, or rather, all attacks that can cause damage must first deplete his health bar before he can feel the pain.

Do you even understand what datafication is?

"!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka hid her fist behind her back, and her eyes twitched involuntarily.

My hand hurts so much. How come this guy's head is as hard as iron?

“Ms. Hiratsuka, it is illegal to use violence against students.”

Yukino Yukinoshita tried to persuade her from the side.

"Let's not talk about that. Tell me what's going on between you two."

Hiratsuka Shizuka leaned over with a gossipy look on her face; she knew about the relationship between Ye Hai and Yukinoshita Haruno.

Now Ye Hai has actually gotten together with Yukino Yukinoshita!

This is his sister-in-law!

Huge scoop!

"As you can see, Yukino is my girlfriend."

Ye Hai glanced at Yukino Yukinoshita's bright red ear tips, then reached out and took her delicate little hand to comfort her.

Yukino Yukinoshita felt the warmth from Hakai's palm, and her tense body gradually relaxed.

She gently squeezed Ye Hai's hand back. Although her face was still flushed, her eyes had regained their usual clarity.

Yes, we are dating.

Yukino Yukinoshita calmly admitted.

Hiratsuka Shizuka raised an eyebrow, her gaze lingering on their clasped hands for a moment: Oh? Does Haruno know about this?

"Of course I know, I've already convinced her."

Ye Hai's answer made Yukino Yukinoshita's icy blue eyes tremble.

Yukino Yukinoshita looked intently at Ye Hai. So he was working hard too?

"Yinno gave you to Yukino?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka's expression was slightly strange. Although she knew that Yukinoshita Haruno was a siscon, she thought it was too much to do this.

She can even give in to her boyfriend?

"Of course not, it's just that Yukino accepted the fact that Yukino would also be with me in the future."

Ye Hai said confidently.

"You guy."

Hiratsuka Shizuka shook her head helplessly. Although polygamy still exists in Japanese society, it is no longer the mainstream. Perhaps one day in the future, the marriage law will change to explicitly define monogamy.

However, since it is still in accordance with the law, it is difficult for Hiratsuka Shizuka to make a judgment at the moment.

"Forget about that, let's not talk about it anymore. What exactly happened with Yuigahama Yui!"

"Yumiko Miura has come to me to complain!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka slammed her hand on the table in anger.

Honestly, seeing these two young lovers being so affectionate made this 28-year-old single woman extremely angry.

That's right, she was just venting her anger as a single person by using the Yui Yuigahama incident.

Hiratsuka Shizuka considered herself to know Ye Hai quite well, despite the fact that he occasionally caused trouble at school.

But a closer investigation reveals that none of it was Ye Hai's fault.

Like the incident where one person fought eight others in the toilet, that was purely the eight guys' own doing.

It's one thing to gather and smoke in the restroom, but to treat the restroom as your own territory and force other students to use the restroom on other floors instead of here.

If Ye Hai hadn't taken them too seriously and removed the veins from all eight of their shrimp in the toilet, Hiratsuka Shizuka wouldn't have known that such a criminal gang existed in her school.

After all, Hiratsuka Shizuka usually only goes to the women's restroom, so who knows what the men's restroom is like?

Moreover, she herself is a heavy smoker, smoking every day. Even if she smells smoke when she passes by, she won't notice it, so it's even harder for her to detect.

"Teacher Jing, you know me. I do all legal business."

Ye Hai shrugged and said.

She knew that Yukinoshita Haruno had asked Hiratsuka Shizuka for help when registering the company.

The Yukinoshita family owns the leading real estate company in Chiba, while the Hiratsuka family is the daughter of the largest yakuza gang in the Kanagawa region.

It's not that the Yukinoshita family is much worse than the Hiratsuka family, but rather that Hiratsuka Shizuka can rightfully ask her father for help.

At the time, Ye Hai and Yang Nai's relationship was not yet public, so they had to keep a low profile. Yukinoshita Seika was Yukinoshita's mother.

Naturally, the resources of the Yukinoshita family cannot be used arbitrarily.

However, obtaining a financial license is quite troublesome for the average person, so in the end, Haruno sought help from her best friend, Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"But you can't collect debts from your classmates!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka said irritably.

Although she smokes, drinks, and hits students, she is still a good teacher. She will step forward to help students as soon as she knows they are in trouble.

“I didn’t ask her to collect the debt; I just asked her to pass it on. Later, I thought better of it and was going to go to her mother myself, but she wasn’t happy about it.”

Ye Hai shrugged helplessly.

"Bring me the contract and stuff to look at. I know you're the kind of guy who definitely brought more than one copy."

Hiratsuka Shizuka gestured.

Ye Hai readily agreed and took out another stack of documents from the file bag, handing them to Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Hiratsuka Shizuka took it and flipped through it, her brows furrowing more and more as she read.

Based on her understanding of Yuihama's family situation, she knew that the two of them would probably never be able to pay off this mortgage in their lifetime.

If it were just the mortgage, it wouldn't be so bad, but what's really giving people a headache now is the penalty interest.

If we don't pay it back, the debt will only snowball.

"Ye Hai, come here for a second."

Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly smiled and beckoned to Ye Hai with her finger.

"what!"

Ye Hai took a half-step back warily; every time Hiratsuka Shizuka had that expression, it was never a good sign.

Last time, she had him go to Hiratsuka's house and pretend to be her boyfriend so that her father would stop pressuring her to go on blind dates.

Good guy!

That time, he almost got drunk to death by his father, who believed him so readily.

Chapter 43 Yuigahama Family Affairs

Hiratsuka Shizuka walked up to Ye Hai and directly tucked Ye Hai's head under her arm: "Don't you think you should look after your classmate?"

"I've already taken good care of you."

Ye Hai rolled his eyes as Hiratsuka Shizuka choked him: "If it were anyone else, I would have already had the Ministry of Justice sue and auction off the property. Now they've not only given me a one-month grace period, but they're only asking me to pay the overdue mortgage and penalty interest, and the rest will continue to be paid according to the original contract..."

"You call this taking care of me?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka tightened her grip: "A single mother with her daughter, can you bear to see them homeless?"

Yukino Yukinoshita coughed lightly from the side: "Hiratsuka-sensei, you're using violence like this..."

Whether this counts as violence or not is another matter, but Ye Hai's head actually touched Hiratsuka Shizuka-sensei's chest!!!

"Ah, sorry."

Hiratsuka Shizuka offered a half-hearted apology and reluctantly released Ye Hai, but her gaze remained aggressive.

Ye Hai straightened his collar and sighed helplessly: "Well then, we'll waive the penalty interest as long as they pay the outstanding monthly payments for the past three years and two months, which is a total of 687 million yen."

"After that, you just need to make monthly payments."

Since Jing Ke'ai has spoken up, we should definitely give her some face.

Hiratsuka Shizuka frowned: "This number is still..."

"Teacher Jing."

Ye Hai interrupted her, his tone suddenly becoming serious: "This is the bottom line."

“Our company is not a charity after all. These debts are, after all, a portfolio of non-performing assets that our company paid money to buy from the bank.”

"You know how these asset packages are; the recovery rate is already low. If I can't recover the debts that can be recovered, how am I supposed to pay the salaries of the hundreds of people in my company?"

A moment of silence fell over the classroom.

Sunlight still streamed in through the gaps in the curtains, casting long, thin strips of light on the floor.

"I understand."

Hiratsuka Shizuka finally sighed: "Then let's do it this way. But don't say that I asked you to waive the penalty interest, so as not to hurt the child's self-esteem."

"At that time, you can engage in a little back-and-forth with them, making them feel that the result was obtained through their own negotiations."

"Although it doesn't really help, at least it makes them feel a little better."

Ye Hai nodded: "That's no problem."

Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't want to go too far in being so generous with other people's money, although she knew that given their relationship, if she continued to insist, Ye Hai could even directly forgive Yuihama's family's debts.
