Chapter 222 The Boss Has Arrived!

Principal Du's smiling face gradually disappeared.

No one around her was a fool; her words had a hidden meaning, and anyone could understand it.

Gu Yin could feel the cold air emanating from Chu Yan beside her.

She stepped forward, blocking Chu Yan, and then smiled modestly, "Thank you for the compliment, Madam. I didn't realize I was so perfect in Wang's eyes! It's a pity that no matter how good my grades are or how beautiful I am, I'm not as amazing as Wang. Madam said I almost crashed the forum, but Madam must not have seen much of the world! On the very first day of school, Wang Qianqian crashed the forum! There were headlines like 'This is the real school beauty!', 'If she's not the school beauty, then Jiang High School is doomed!', 'I say her looks crush the previous school beauty, who can disagree!' The boys' frenzy was so intense that all the girls in our school kept their distance!"

After saying this, Gu Yin looked at Zhou Meng and asked, "By the way, who was our school beauty last year?"

Zhou Meng suppressed a laugh: "It's Senior Xiao Jin!"

Gu Yin nodded: "And what about this year's class?"

"It's still Senior Xiao Jin."

Xiao Jin, standing next to him, asked in confusion, "Huh, am I still in it? This was originally just an activity our school organized for fun, and I didn't even participate. I didn't expect it to still be me now?"

Lin Feiyang, standing next to him, laughed and said, "You were voted on by the entire school! It's a legitimate process! Those self-proclaimed, unofficial rankings can't compare!"

Lin Feiyang's words not only angered Madam Wang and Wang Qianqian, but also turned the usually composed Mayor Wang pale.

"Young people, it is essential to have the proper moral character and cultivation. What's the use of just getting good grades? Principal Du, why don't you open a class on moral education? I think the students who just spoke can all improve themselves!"

Xiao Jin stepped forward and adopted a receptive posture, saying, "I'll tell my father later that he's so busy with work in various cities that he's forgotten to teach me how to be a person, which is why people say I'm ill-mannered today! It's all his fault! If I can't even teach him properly, he might as well quit being the provincial secretary."

Lin Feiyang said sadly, "My dad is the same. All he knows is making money, but I don't see where the money he makes goes. He did donate several national highways, which connected our province's roads with the neighboring first-tier cities, but he didn't have time to teach me morality. What's the point of making so much money? I might as well give up being the richest man in the province!"

Zhou Meng: "...Since Uncle Wang has said so, then I think I am unworthy of the position of city secretary. After all, if you can't even sweep your own room, how can you sweep the world? I can't even educate people properly, so how can I solve the problems of millions of ordinary people? I might as well quit!"

Gu Yin: "..." What should I say to make myself seem domineering?!

Mayor Wang was so angry that he forgot who these people were and then said those nonsense things.

He was momentarily embarrassed. If he admitted it, his position would be over. If he denied it and said it was just an angry outburst, he would seem petty, arguing with the children over such a small matter. If word got out, who would believe him?

Seeing that her husband was being held hostage, Mrs. Wang immediately changed the subject.

"It's such a nice day today, let's not talk about these unhappy things! I'm not good with words, if I offended Gu, can I apologize to you? Gu has so many friends, so outstanding! Unlike our Qianqian, who doesn't even have two! Let Qianqian learn from Gu, maybe she can also make friends with Chu Yan!"

Gu Yin: "Auntie, you're wrong. Wang Qianqian is better than me. Every day, many male classmates come to our class to play with her. I should learn from her. After all, she's not as good-looking as me, and she's not as good at studying as me. So why is she so popular?"

Gu Yin paused for a moment, then tapped her head as if she had just remembered something.

"Now I know why she's not as popular as my classmate Wang! It's because her dad is the mayor! Those people are so strange. How can they befriend someone based on what their parents do? Would knowing Wang's dad make their family's life any better? But a mayor of a city, that's quite possible!"

Mayor Wang felt a wave of dizziness. If he let that brat continue, his reputation would be in jeopardy!

"Gu Yin! Don't be rude! Apologize to the mayor right now!" Principal Du quickly stopped the outspoken Gu Yin, fearing that if she continued, she might face retaliation.

Gu Yin blinked innocently and said, "Did I say something wrong? Then I apologize! I'm sorry!"

Principal Du glared at her, then gestured to the director to take the person away!

There was a car waiting behind us for a long time. Mayor Wang and his family started arguing with the students. Aren't they afraid of being laughed at?

Mayor Wang did not linger. Chu Yan, who was next to the girl, had a very deep look in his eyes. Although the other party was a businessman, his godparents were in the central government, and he could not afford to offend them!

Qianqian is right, Gu Yin is a vixen! Humph!

After Mayor Wang left, the door of the car behind, whose brand was not discernible, was opened, and a man in camouflage got out of the driver's seat.

After getting out of the car, the other person walked to the back door, looked around, and finally opened the door.

That demeanor, that gait, that alertness!

Gu Yin stared quietly at the car door. The man's demeanor was very similar to that of the military personnel she had encountered in her previous life during the anti-trafficking efforts!

Sure enough, as soon as the car door opened, a middle-aged man in military uniform stepped out!

Principal Du quickly stepped forward: "Welcome, General Xie, to Jianggao! We look forward to your guidance!"

Xie Tianhua's lips curled up as he reached out and grasped Du Zhongming's hand, laughing loudly, "It's only been a few years, but your mouth is still as sharp as ever! I told you back then that you should come with me to Ice University, to that damn Hua University. You used to be such a refined and upright person, but now you've turned into this glib-tongued bastard! If the teachers saw this, they'd crawl out of their graves!"

"You know I'm not interested in that; I just love teaching and nurturing students! This isn't being glib; it's high emotional intelligence! How can I be like a roughneck like you! Come on, come on, I've been waiting for you for ages, let's go inside and have a chat!"

After Principal Du finished speaking, he looked at everyone and said, "I'll take the person inside first. You all wait here for the other alumni!"

"Yes, Principal!"

Gu Yin looked at the general. She had memorized all the information the principal had given her, but the other party wasn't on it. Judging from his identity and the fact that he had mentioned Bingda University earlier, and that he and the principal were on good terms but hadn't been in contact for years, Gu Yin guessed that the other party's identity was classified. He was probably in the field of materials science, since Bingda University was most famous for its materials science and engineering!

As the others walked past, Gu Yin lowered her head slightly. She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she thought the other person glanced at her as they passed by.

“Even though it’s October, it’s still so hot here. The kids are already tired enough from studying, and now they have to put up with your nonsense. Let them go together.” Xie Tianhua said and took the lead.

Du Zhongming laughed and said, "It makes you seem like a good person!" He then waved to Gu Yin and the others, signaling them to follow.
