The Side Character's Hidden Boss!

Chapter 48: That’s Mo Li?

Translator: Lonelytree

The question was laden with traps. If Mo Li said she was not interested in Quan Yu, they would say that she looked down on him; if she said she was, she could already see the headlines tomorrow pushing Mo Family back to the eye of the storm again. Mo Li was just thinking about how to resolve this problem when a man walked past not far away. She pointed at him and said, “Everyone has a different vision of beauty and handsomeness, that man over there is more my type.”

The man only had a side profile, the rest of his face was blocked behind the wall. The reporters all turned around and their gazes fell on the man. Using that opportunity, Mo Li wanted to sneak away but she was heavily surrounded by the reporters.

?

Even though the distance was far, everyone could see from his profile that this man was incredibly handsome. Lin Fan nodded. Even a casual passing student at their school was so handsome, this should help their school’s image and popularity. After the man walked away, the reporters all whipped their heads back and their eyes fired at Mo Li like lasers.

“Is that gentleman a student here too? Is he Miss Mo Li’s senior?”

“Does he plan to enter the entertainment business? Is he related to your brother?”

“Miss Mo Li, can you tell us more about him? What is the nature of your relationship? Does Master Quan know about this?”

“How far along is your relationship? Have you met his parents?”

Mo Li was stumped by these people’s presumptions. She was just tossing them a bone, she didn’t expect them to make an inquisition out of it.

“I don’t actually know that person.” Then Mo Li smiled at the stunned faces and hurried to sneak away. Lin Fan was as confused as the reporters. He just wanted for Mo Li to show up in front of the camera. He didn’t expect things to turn out like this. This would definitely garner some attention online but he wondered if his friend, Ol’ Mo would bite his ears off for it or not.

“I have to find out who that man is!” The woman who posed the hard question said excitedly. She didn’t get any dirt on Mo Li and Quan Yu, but she got something else. If she could dig up more about this man, then she would have a way to make a big news out of it! Just the thoughts of the clicks her article would generate fueled her.

Lin Fan though stood there and thought to him.?Wait, that man earlier wasn’t in our school uniform. I don’t remember a new staff coming in either, or was that a new transfer student? Even though I only saw his profile, the man has an imposing presence, he should be a unique character.

At that moment, the ‘man’ who was being discussed was seated on the couch in the director’s office. He was dressed in a black suit. His legs swung lazily about. The school director sat beside him as they talked to a man on screen. The man on screen said in a genuflective tone, “Yes, yes! Please don’t worry and leave this to me. The fact that you’re willing to work with our school is already a great honor to us!”

The man on screen was the school headmaster. After a few perfunctory greetings, he was already covered in sweat. He was not expecting a video call from this man.

“By a way, a word of reminder. There are people at your school today taking videos, be careful of the footage that is released.”

“Of course, of course. We’re so sorry to have created this trouble for you. Your appearance here is supposed to be a secret, I don’t why they’re here.”

“It’s fine, they’re not here for me.” Quan Yu tapped lightly on the table top as he said flatly, “I’m just the collateral.”

“So, are you sure you wish to install that many cameras and surveillance devices around the school?”

Quan Yu looked at the overly cautious headmaster and he couldn’t help but laugh. “I remember saying, there is only one purpose I’m here. I wish to improve the situation at this school, to stop bullying at school once and for all!”

The headmaster finally agreed when he realized Quan Yu was indeed not there to seek trouble. Installing more cameras was good for them anyway.

…

Lin Fan had been following Mo Li around the school the whole afternoon to persuade her to join the shooting of the recruitment video. Mo Li finally got worn down by the man’s persistence and agreed. She put on the uniform that was reserved for their school’s big events and tied her hair back into a ponytail. She looked a picture of youth. She was like the quintessential first love of every young man, she instantly grabbed the attention of everyone that she passed.

It was not until Lin Fan led Mo Li into the dressing room that the students’ eyes could be peeled away.

“That was Mo Li?” One of the girls gasped.
