Chapter 378: The Books Were Donated By Fu Zhi

Mu Chenxi smiled gleefully as she said, “Let’s draw lots. We will let fate decide who will get the exclusive version.”
The students who stood beside her nodded in assent.
“I agree! That’s fairer!”
“If each of you gets the exclusive version by drawing lots, we won’t say a word!”
“Can somebody go collect the books from them? Since Master Pure Feather didn’t write any names on the books, they could belong to anyone...”
...
The students of Class 21 were speechless at that moment.
The students from the other classes might not know this, but they knew it very well. When Song Fang had come that morning, he had already told them that the books had been donated to them by Fu Zhi after she had approached Master Pure Feather.
The messages had been written by Pure Feather specifically for them.
How on earth could there be any unfairness or injustice?
Did they want Master Pure Feather to make a big fanfare and post on her Weibo to state that it was because of Fu Zhi that she had decided to donate her books?
Fu Zhi was just an ordinary person, and they were certain that the netizens would accuse her of chasing clout again.
When the discussion subsided, Fu Zhi cast Song Fang a reassuring gaze.
Mu Chenxi pressed on. “What do you think, Fu Zhi? It’s a pretty good idea, isn’t it? Everyone wants the exclusive version, and I’m sure you’re no exception, so I can relate if you don’t agree with my suggestion. It’s just that you might not be able to...”
Mu Chenxi gave Fu Zhi a meaningful grin.
The students around her grew even more restless. One of them stepped forward and said, “Fu Zhi, don’t be so greedy. Hand over the books so that we can all have a chance to get a copy!”
The situation in Class 21 had changed. In the past, all of them had followed Song Fang’s instructions, but now, even Song Fang had to listen to Fu Zhi. As long as Fu Zhi agreed to give the books back, they would follow her without any qualms.
Before Fu Zhi could say anything, a deep voice rang out from the crowd.
“Excuse me. Let me through, please!”
It was the delivery man from the Fu Corporation. It took him quite some effort to nudge his way through the crowd, and he let out a sigh of relief when he saw Fu Zhi.
He quickly gave the pen to FuZhi and said, “Ms. Fu, please sign your name here. Is everything okay with the books? We have to go back and report to Pure Feather and the Fu Corporation.”
“Yes, don’t worry. Everything is fine.”
Fu Zhi took the pen and signed her name on the order form.
She was wearing a jacket, and the hair in front of her forehead was a bit messy because she had been sleeping just now.
“Fu Zhi... She isn’t the class monitor, is she? Why is the guy asking her to sign her name?”
“Hold on a second. I’m the class monitor, but that dude didn’t ask me to sign my name. I don’t know about you guys, but I don’t have a good feeling about it.”
“She’s just signing for all of us. In any case, she should hand over the books.”
...
After Fu Zhi signed her name, the delivery man from the Fu Corporation said, “Thank you, Ms. Fu.”
Just as he was about to leave, Mu Chenxi suddenly thought of something and went up to him.
She had just thought of a good idea to disgust Fu Zhi. She did not want to hear what Fu Zhi had to say anymore. After all, if she could get support from the delivery man of the Fu Corporation before Fu Zhi could say anything, it would be even better than getting a response from Fu Zhi.
This way, she could also make Fu Zhi the laughing stock of their school.
“Well, here’s the thing,” Mu Chenxi said. “Out of the 1,000 copies of ‘Red Sun’ that Master Pure Feather gave me, 60 or so are exclusive versions. All the students of No.1 High School like Master Pure Feather very much, but due to some sort of issue, all 60 of the exclusive copies of the book were taken by the students of Class 21. I wonder if you can help us convey the problem to the management of the Fu Corporation so that they can come up with a solution.”
Although it would not be appropriate to trouble Pure Feather with such a trivial matter, she figured that a manager from the Fu Corporation should be able to handle the matter.
“Is that so?”
The delivery man frowned, and his face darkened when he heard what Mu Chenxi had said.
Mu Chenxi stole a glance at Fu Zhi with a grin tugging at the corner of her mouth.
“I think there’s something I need to tell you guys,” the delivery man said with a serious expression as he looked at Mu Chenxi.
Mu Chenxi replied, “Go ahead.”
“Although these books were bought by Master Pure Feather with her own money, she did it only because Fu Zhi asked her to do so,” the delivery man said.
“Huh?” The students were confused.
“Are you sure, sir? If Master Pure Feather donated the books to us because Fu Zhi told her to do so, why didn’t she say anything on her Weibo?”
“Are you lying to us?”
“I’ve heard that all the delivery men in the Fu Corporation are army veterans, so it’s very unlikely that he would lie...”
With a forceful voice, the delivery man cut in. “I don’t know Ms. Fu, and I don’t need to lie to you. The reason Master Pure Feather didn’t mention anything on Weibo is that she didn’t want anyone to bother Ms. Fu. These books were specially prepared by Master Pure Feather for Ms. Fu’s class, and the messages in the books were written by her based on the characters of the students in the class.
“Besides, before I came here, the higher-ups of the Fu Corporation reminded me that the last box of books was for the students of Class 21 and I had to distribute them in the right order. As for the rest of the books, you guys should be thanking Ms. Fu instead. If it were not for her, Master Pure Feather would not have donated those books to you all.”
Everyone was dumbstruck.
After he finished speaking, the delivery man sneered at Mu Chenxi before leaving.
A long silence prevailed in the classroom after he left.
“So these books were donated by Fu Zhi?”
Someone asked, but no one replied. After all, the answer was as clear as the blue sky.
The students standing outside the door, especially those who had urged Fu Zhi to return the books, all kept their heads low, as they felt embarrassed.
Fu Zhi had been kind enough to donate the books to them, and not only had they not appreciated it, but they’d even wanted to take her books away.
If it were not for her, they might not even have had the chance to see the book.
When this thought surfaced vivid and clear in their minds, they hung their heads even lower.
They had gone overboard today, and they were now thinking of ways to apologize to Fu Zhi.
