The two seasoned veterans understood what the other was trying to say at that moment.

It was at this moment that the vice principal understood Ning Zheyuan's true purpose in coming to Weiyang today.

Is it because you're worried that leaking the news will cause trouble for Jiang Yu?

That makes sense...

The young master Ning Zheyuan mentioned must undoubtedly be the young master of the Xia family.

The Xia family had encountered some kind of misfortune and moved away from Jiang City. This was not exactly a secret, so Ning Zheyuan kept it a secret from them and refused to reveal the young master's real name, which the vice principal could understand.

So……

Ning Zheyuan wanted them to keep it a secret?

"That old fox..."

The vice principal smiled at Ning Zheyuan, and Ning Zheyuan smiled back at him. Their smiles were brighter than each other's, but their thoughts were exactly the same.

"It seems he has understood what I meant? That's good..."

Ning Zheyuan breathed a slight sigh of relief. As long as the other party understood, he would have accomplished his purpose in coming here.

That's all that matters, young master.

"The vice principal is right..."

Director Zhang wanted to say something more, but after seeing the other person's eyes, he tacitly shut his mouth.

The other party is right.

As long as the result is good, it doesn't matter how it is.

Why do we have to dig to the bottom of things?

That's really impolite.

"However... isn't your school very strict about early relationships? I've heard a lot of rumors about it, and on the way here I was even wondering if they would boycott my young master's relationship, hahaha... was I just worrying unnecessarily?"

Having completed his task, Ning Zheyuan completely relaxed, his expression becoming much more natural. He comfortably leaned back on the sofa, sipping fragrant tea, and asked a question he already knew the answer to.

He knew perfectly well that someone of his status would never dare to arrest his own young master.

Early romantic relationships...

Just arrest ordinary people instead.

They're asking for trouble if they dare arrest their young master.

After all, Weiyang District strictly enforces regulations against early romantic relationships in order to avoid affecting students' studies.

But what are they studying for?

Isn't it all about getting into a good university and having a bright future?

But their young master has absolutely no need for such things.

Who has a brighter future than Xia Che?

Even though the Xia family has fallen on hard times, Xia Che, as the young master of a prestigious family, still possesses things that ordinary people could never achieve even if they worked hard their whole lives.

"That's not true. We at Weiyang really respect young people's love."

Seeing that Director Zhang's face gradually darkened, the vice principal patted the back of his hand and tried to smooth things over with a smile.

Ning Zheyuan's words hit Director Zhang right where it hurt.

Because it's Director Zhang who usually cracks down on early romantic relationships at school...

But what can you do but endure the rude behavior of your sugar daddy?

They didn't even know who the young master the other party was talking about was!

"Okay, then I'm relieved."

Ning Zheyuan nodded in satisfaction, then let out a deep breath and suddenly stood up: "Since the matter has been resolved, I won't bother you any longer. You two are high-ranking leaders of the school, and I'm sure you're very busy with your daily affairs. It's better for me, an idle person, to get out of here as soon as possible, hahaha."

"That's not true. Boss Ning is extremely busy, much busier than us."

The vice principal, his smile unchanged, stood up as well and tentatively said, "Would you like to stay for lunch? I'd like to explain to you where this investment has gone."

"No need! You can spend the money wherever you want, as long as it's spent wisely and actually improves the conditions at the school, that's fine. I'm not that picky."

Ning Zheyuan waved his hand readily, "No need for lunch, I have things to do at noon, so I won't bother you any longer."

"In that case...we'll take you."

The vice principal chuckled and then walked alongside Director Zhang, one after the other, beside Ning Zheyuan, always half a step behind him to show his respect.

"This old man's manners are impeccable; he knows how to behave..."

Ning Zheyuan looked at the vice principal in front of him with great interest. He figured that the reason why those old teachers suddenly changed their opinion of him was because of something he said.

It seems that spending years in an ivory tower doesn't necessarily mean one is ignorant of human relationships and social interactions.

At least judging from today's situation, Ning Zheyuan was quite satisfied with the other party's handling of the matter.

There is absolutely no fault with it.

After seeing Ning Zheyuan off at the school gate and watching him get into the car, the vice principal still did not leave.

Seeing this, Director Zhang could only stand with him until the black Audi started and slowly drove away into the distance. Only then did the vice principal speak: "Let's go, we can go back now."

“Vice Principal, I have realized my mistake before. Boss Ning is an investor, so we should treat him better. I understand that now.”

Director Zhang, standing beside the vice principal, hesitated to speak, but steeled himself and said, "There's just... something I don't quite understand. Even if we're going to be friendly to Boss Ning, do we really need to go to this extent? I feel like we're being a bit too humble in front of Boss Ning."

The vice principal, in particular, seemed to be afraid to offend Ning Zheyuan in the slightest.

Can……

Why is this happening?

So what if we offend them?

At worst, we can just forgo his investment. With the Weiyang brand in hand, why worry about finding investors?

Upon hearing this, the vice principal stopped and turned to look. A half-smile suddenly appeared on his wrinkled, aged face.

"W-what's wrong?"

Director Zhang was somewhat confused.

The vice principal slowly withdrew his gaze, shook his head, and continued walking forward: "You still don't understand."

"There's something I need to ask you."

The vice principal's words left Director Zhang completely confused. He clearly understood, so why did the vice principal say that he didn't understand?

How exactly do we know when we understand?

But now was clearly not the time to ask questions. Director Zhang asked, "What is it?"

Where did you keep the medical records that Jiang Yu submitted when she applied for a transfer?

The vice principal said.

"It's in my office drawer, would you like to see it?"

Director Zhang asked, puzzled.

"No... there's no need to keep these things anymore. Find some time to take out all the information about Jiang Yu's medical records, organize them, and then burn them in the fire pit."

The vice principal, with his hands behind his back, said calmly, "From now on, no matter who asks about anything concerning Jiang Yu, you must say you don't know. Tell them to come to me for information, understand?"

"Yes... I understand."

Director Zhang had even more questions in his mind.

But he didn't ask, just nodded, and planned to do it in a little while.

"So this time... we've chosen sides, haven't we?"

Suddenly, the vice principal sighed and uttered a vague and ambiguous remark.
