A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

Chapter 513 tells me, this is what you call dramatic!

Outside the rehearsal room, near the wall.

With the pine and cypress trees in front providing shade, this place has become a quiet and secluded spot.

In later generations, this place would definitely be a "lovers' corner".

Jiang Xia's kick was powerful, and the two men's knees slammed heavily to the ground, causing them to grimace in pain. They couldn't get up for a while and could only turn their heads, glaring at Jiang Xia with eyes full of resentment.

"Who dares to kick me?!"

A roar filled with anger rang out.

When the young man surnamed Shen, who was leading the attack, realized that the person who had attacked him was Jiang Xia, he froze. He swallowed the curse that was on the tip of his tongue, and his expression changed from rage to astonishment.

Seeing that the leader had stopped moving, Yuan Hua, who had also knelt down, cleverly swallowed back the curses that were about to come out of his throat.

Jiang Xia was starting to have doubts; this wasn't the script they'd heard about!

Shouldn't these children of officers and soldiers be quick to anger? Why are they suddenly so calm?

Just as Jiang Xia was stunned, the officers who had been watching from the sidelines suddenly surrounded him. "Kid, are you tired of living?!" someone shouted fiercely, even curling his fingers up as if pointing them at Jiang Xia like a gun butt.

Strangely, they were just making a racket two or three steps away from Jiangxia, but none of them dared to actually rush up and make a move. Their shouts were deafening, but they never actually took any action.

Jiang Xia was secretly anxious, thinking to himself, "All talk and no action, why don't you guys just do something? Otherwise, how am I supposed to continue this act?"

He grabbed the chubby boy who was still standing there in front of him and pulled him behind him. While pretending to reach into his pocket, he secretly pulled the blueprints out of his bag, all the while planning how to stage a "fake accident"—as long as the other party dared to reach out, he would immediately throw the blueprints out and then lie down on the ground and shout.

"Fine, if you guys won't come over, I'll just go to you..."

Jiang Xia took a step forward, and the people opposite him, who had just helped their companion up, all took a step back in unison upon seeing this.

Jiang Xia took another step forward, and the other person retreated again...

An eerie sense of stalemate filled the air.

"Oh my goodness, these people are really keeping their cool!"

"Damn it, I don't care anymore!" Jiang Xia gritted his teeth and was about to charge into the crowd when suddenly, a loud, arrogant laugh came from behind him.

"Who do we have here? It's someone from the compound! Tsk tsk, isn't that lame guy your leader? What, you're scared by someone in a cotton-padded jacket? You want to take my territory?"

Jiang Xia looked back and saw several shady-looking figures climbing over the school wall.

The leader was wearing an ill-fitting military overcoat, with his arms hanging casually outside the coat. As he jumped off the wall, the overcoat billowed out, revealing a tattered cotton-padded jacket underneath, giving him a comical yet roguish air.

The young man surnamed Shen leaned over Jiang Xia's shoulder, his eyes warily scrutinizing the newcomer: "Who are you? This kid's accomplice?"

Hiding in the crowd, Yuan Hua also looked puzzled and muttered, "Brother Shen, something's not right. Wasn't this kid with Wang Kui before? How did this hooligan appear? And why is he dressed as a military officer?"

As he spoke, he shrank back behind the young man surnamed Shen, frowning as he tried to recall, feeling as if he had overlooked something important.

"Hey, Shen Xingxing, you've been looking for me everywhere just to use me as a scapegoat, haven't you? Why don't you recognize me now that we're face to face?" The newcomer's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"You...you little rascal! It's you!" Yuan Hua screamed as if he had seen a ghost, his voice as shrill as a young rooster going through puberty.

"That's right! You little rascal! The clothes you're wearing are the ones you stole from Fatty!"

"Hey, you can't just say things like that. Can you call that stealing? It was clearly won fair and square!" The little rascal grinned maliciously as he looked at Jiang Xia.

"Brother, you look unfamiliar, but you've got guts. You managed to take on these bastards from the compound all by yourself. Interested in following me?"

"Today, I'll show you how to make them submit!"

"Little fatty! Your big brother will come find you later, and then we'll play games again..."

The chubby boy behind Jiang Xia trembled when the little rascal gave him a venomous look, and then grabbed Jiang Xia's clothes and wouldn't let go.

……

What the hell is going on here!

Jiang Xia was a little annoyed, but before he could react, the little rascal had already passed him and walked straight toward the group of officers.

"You're just a little bastard, a worthless piece of trash! You dare to show your face in front of me? Aren't you afraid you won't be able to leave?"

Before Shen Xingxing could finish speaking, the little rascal plunged headfirst into the crowd, and without any apparent movement, he shoved aside the person who was helping Shen Xingxing. At the same time, a long, dark object pressed against Shen Xingxing's lower back.

The hooligans who followed the little rascal's example also followed suit, each choosing their own opponent, and revealing several oversized needles.

"Oh, I'm just doing you a favor. You were looking for me, so here I am. Where else can you find such a good father like me!"

"Right, my good son!" The little rascal deliberately dragged out his words, which drew cheers from the other hooligans.

Shen Xingxing's face turned ashen, and she tried to struggle, but then she felt a chill on her lower back, "Hiss..."

"Wait, wait, I just ground these spokes. I used them to grill a kidney this morning, and they smelled amazing. I just wonder what your kidneys taste like, Young Master Shen..."

"you!"

Shen Xingxing wanted to struggle, but then she felt a chilling coldness coming from behind her and dared not move for a moment.

Kidneys! What do men rely on to speak with their backs straight?

Shen Xingxing froze, swallowing back the harsh words that were about to come out: "What do you want to do!"

"That tone sounds nice! Don't be afraid! We'll settle the matter of using me as a figurehead later. Today, my brothers and I want to get some artistic inspiration. I heard they're doing some lace dancing inside, all naked?"

At this point, the rest of the hooligans all burst into laughter, some even sticking out their tongues and tracing a circle around their lips.

"strong enough!"

After saying that, the little rascal stretched out his hand in front of Shen Xingxing's eyes, and a few of his fingers curled up.

"How about it, how about fulfilling the brothers' little requests?"

"The rehearsal room door is right there. Go ahead and try to get in!"

Shen Xingxing pushed the little rascal's arm away and took a deep breath.

"Do you think I'm stupid? You think drinking some kind of talisman water will make me invulnerable to swords and spears?! Hand over the votes!"

"You're just going to take the ticket and leave?"

Instead of worrying about that, you should worry about whether you'll ever be able to get married!

As he spoke, the little rascal pushed the bicycle spokes forward again.

Shen Xingxing felt something cold drilling into her flesh, and goosebumps instantly erupted all over her body.

Damn it, this kind of desperate criminal really dares to go to extremes.

When two people meet on a narrow path, the one with the better destiny gives way first. Just as Shen Xingxing was about to make a decision...

Yuan Hua, standing to the side, let out a loud "Aww~~" as he touched his lower back with one hand and stretched the other forward.

"Don't poke, don't poke, we don't have any tickets either!"

"That kid bought all the tickets! Go ask him for them..."

As he spoke, Yuan Hua pointed at Jiangxia.

"Hey bro, I didn't realize you were such a talent... You really surprised me. Since that's the case..."

The little rascal suddenly tightened his grip on Shen Xingxing's neck, pointing the spokes in his hand directly at Jiang Xia.

"Sharing it?"
