Chapter 122
"Mr. Shen!" The special personnel on duty at the door saluted Shen Feixian.
Shen Feixian nodded, turned around to appease the student's parent, and pulled him aside to explain his difficulties and comfort him.
The company belonged to his friend who had made some money recently and planned to take over this piece of land for development. This project was going to connect with the government, and it was currently in the transfer audit of land purchase.
Because this project was special, they were afraid someone would come to make trouble or steal confidential information, so they did not allow outsiders to enter.
The school was within the scope of this land, so there were many complicated things to deal with.
After being appeased by Shen Feixian, the parent's emotions improved a lot, but after hearing this, his eyes widened. "Is the school going to move or be demolished?"
His child had just enrolled in this school not long ago and his grades in physical education had improved tangibly. It was a rare good school, with no other problems except being a little far away.
"It won't move. There will be a development project and the roads here may be fenced off in the future! You can only send your child to the entrance. Don't worry. This project can be found in the municipal government. In the future there will be a dedicated car for pickup and drop-off at the entrance...” Shen Feixian said.
The plan was still in progress so they could not disclose it to the public yet. Even if they did make it public, the authorities would not directly tell the public the base was in Y City.
Therefore, none of the personnel on duty at the entrance wore any uniforms, not even security guard outfits, which would have made them more credible.
Wearing only casual clothes and using tables to block the road, they really looked like illegal groups collecting tolls. When browsing past online news, Shen Feixian had seen such news before, although it rarely happened now.
Shen Feixian understood the contradictions between them.
"What about my child going to school..." The parent was still hesitant.
Seeing this, Shen Feixian patted the parent on the shoulder and affirmed: "Your child comes first. We run tutoring classes and people come first! Please feel free to trust us. Contact me anytime if anything comes up!"
After being fooled by Shen Feixian for a while and sincerely apologized to by several staff members again, the parent saw a car coming from the other side of the road to pick up children and carry their luggage.
Even if he felt something was wrong, he did not delve deeper.
After all, it was introduced by an acquaintance. Except for blocking the road today, they handled everything else very pleasantly.
So he decided to leave his child there for the time being and drove away.
But this reassurance was not permanent. He planned to ask his friends at the municipal government whether this development plan was real!
If there was any problem, he would hurry to have his child drop out of school!

Compared to the mostly unknown disciples of Qingyun Sect, there was an exceptionally popular person!
Today's hottest news on the Internet was that C-position debut contestant Feng Juechen from the idol survival show "Dance Youth" would temporarily leave the industry to go to school.
With such a bright future ahead, why would he say he was leaving all of a sudden?
Was there some dark secret? Or did he offend someone during the competition so he was not allowed to debut? His fans did not buy any of the excuses for his departure at all!
They began to suspect whether other contestants had ostracized Feng Juechen, and even scrutinized past footage for scenes of him being isolated by others!
And there it was, plenty of such scenes!
He was often seen practicing alone while other contestants did not join him.
Some younger, more impulsive fans directly posted all the information online and began to question the other contestants.
At this moment, the other contestants were also shocked by the news of Feng Juechen leaving the industry! This was a top C-position with great resources, and now it was just given up?
They seriously suspected Feng Juechen had come on the show to play with everyone and then left when he got bored.
It had been three days and nineteen hours since Feng Juechen asked for leave.
Only then did the news break that he was leaving the industry. They began to wonder whether something very serious had happened to Feng Juechen that prevented him from even participating in commercial performances in the future, which was why the company released this statement.
Otherwise, what could have happened to make a young person give up such a bright future?
Faced with online accusations of them bullying Feng Juechen, the other contestants were in no mood to respond. They only wanted to find out what exactly had happened to him.
"Are you there? Did something happen?"
"Do you need any help? Please speak up!"
"Are you facing some difficulties?"
"If you don't say anything, I'll have to call the police!"
The other lower-ranking contestants who would debut together sent Feng Juechen concerned messages one after another.
But not one of them received a reply.
They started to discuss Feng Juechen’s situation in a WeChat group named “Firmly Oppose Cuthroat Competition” that did not include him.
“Crap, I’m really worried something happened to him! He still hasn’t replied to me!”
“Let’s think positive. Maybe his phone broke and he’ll reply later.”
“Even with a broken phone he wouldn’t directly leave the industry!”
The group was engrossed in a heated discussion about Feng Juechen.
After debating for a long time without an answer, some even suspected they would soon see Feng Juechen in a certain ominous place.
Until noon, Feng Juechen directly started a livestream on a platform.
The stream was titled, “Let Me Explain My Temporary Departure...”
Fans flooded into the stream, eager to see their idol brother.
The other contestants also tuned in.
They saw Feng Juechen sitting in an office with plain white walls. He looked very serious.
Surely something must have happened!
"I'm hosting this stream today to tell everyone about my temporary departure. The reason is simple. I'm going back to school," Feng Juechen said, facing the camera.
Going back to school was not a satisfactory explanation for the fans. Everything had been fine, so why did he suddenly need to study?
Even though Feng Juechen’s profile said he was 17, still a minor and the perfect age for studying, going to school did not stop him from debuting and earning money!
The fans desperately tried to persuade him to stay, but found comments were disabled for the stream.
"Recently I took exams and got audit status at several schools because there were too many and they were quite far away. Participating in activities would affect my classes! So I made the decision to temporarily leave the industry..." Feng Juechen explained.
"Thank you everyone for your support all this time. I believe we will meet again someday!"
The stream lasted barely over a minute before ending.
The fans still could not understand why their idol had to leave the industry for studying. They were even more upset than before.
Even his teammates could not comprehend it.
Until Feng Juechen posted his next Weibo.
【I will be auditing classes at @Y City University @Jing City University @J City University of Science and Technology and @Academy of Social Sciences among other schools over the next few years.】
Those still following Feng Juechen’s departure from the industry froze as they read his Weibo post. What on earth was he writing? Surely their eyes were playing tricks!
Auditing classes at so many schools?
