"Yes, my surname is Liu."
Principal Liu didn't seem to be someone who would easily believe Xu Tianxiang's one-sided story. When Ye Yun asked him, he cooperated by answering her questions.
Ye Yun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She smiled and calmly said, "Hello, Principal Liu. I want to tell you that I did indeed return the receipt for the final payment to Director Xu."
Principal Liu nodded, but looking at her, he shrugged and said with a hint of helplessness, "But Director Xu said he didn't receive it, and that you robbed the money and ran away."
He also felt that something was amiss.
Ye Yun sells mung bean cakes. He would occasionally pass by Ye Yun's stall when he went out. Over time, he got to know Ye Yun and knew that she hadn't impersonated him to collect the cakes. But why didn't she return the receipt?
Besides, the money was originally hers, so why would she steal it?
Could it be true, as Xu Tianxiang said, that Ye Yun was planning to rob them this time and then come back with the receipt to ask them for money again next time?
Yes, that receipt is proof that you can use to claim the remaining payment.
As long as Ye Yun has that voucher, their school must pay her the remaining balance, which is probably why their finance department is so anxious.
Thinking about this, Principal Liu almost assumed that Ye Yun was someone trying to extort money.
He was a little disappointed and sighed, saying, "Young comrade, please return the voucher, and we can let bygones be bygones."
Ye Yun laughed in exasperation.
That's hilarious. The voucher was returned to Xu Tianxiang a long time ago. Where is she going to find another voucher?
She gave Xu Tianxiang a cold look.
At this moment, Xu Tianxiang was looking at her angrily, but deep in his angry eyes was a strong sense of pride and provocation.
It was as if it were saying, "See? Without using any other power, you are no match for me."
Ye Yun smiled helplessly.
In this era of limited technology, proving her innocence was indeed not easy.
"How about this?"
Ye Yun thought for a moment, then smiled and said to the principal, "Principal Liu, the reason why Director Xu of the Finance Department is so anxious is probably because he is afraid that I will come back with the receipts to ask you for the final payment again. How about I write a statement with you today, indicating that I will never come back to ask you for the final payment again? Is that alright?"
"no!"
Before Principal Liu could speak, Xu Tianxiang anxiously interrupted her.
Ye Yun looked over with surprise, then chuckled, "Director Xu, why are you reacting so strongly? Aren't you just afraid I'll keep asking for the final payment? I've already made concessions, so what do you mean by that?"
"Or is it that your purpose is not this at all, but simply to make things difficult for me?"
"Oh, I suddenly remembered, Director Xu, your family has a grudge against my family, right? Your cousin Xu Tianqiang tried to assault me and I reported him to prison; Director Xu, you wouldn't be using this incident to make things difficult for me, would you?"
What?
Upon hearing Ye Yun's words, everyone present subtly changed their expressions.
The woman who had been standing at the door noticed the awkward atmosphere and gently tugged at Principal Liu's sleeve, whispering, "Principal, there's something I'm not sure if I should say..."
Principal Liu immediately said, "Go ahead."
The woman at the door glanced at Ye Yun cautiously before speaking, "It was before..."
"Xiao Huang! You need to provide evidence before you speak. Don't just say whatever comes to mind, including things you shouldn't say!"
Before the woman at the door could finish speaking, Director Xu suddenly shouted angrily, interrupting her.
Ye Yun shook her head. "Director Xu, what do you mean by 'shouldn't have said it'?"
Xu Tianxiang choked up.
Ye Yun seized the opportunity to look at Principal Liu and smiled, "Principal, should I tell you that what Director Xu did was actually a threat, or is it that what this lady next to you is about to say is not in his favor, which is why he is in such a hurry?"
Principal Liu's expression was slightly unpleasant.
They're not stupid. Which teacher in a school doesn't have material in their head?
Principal Liu gave him a reassuring look and said, "Xiao Huang, just tell me what you think. Someone will investigate whether it's true or not. This is a big deal. Although it's not a lot of money, it concerns a person's innocence. We can't wrong an innocent person, nor can we let any bad person go free."
"Yes, Principal."
The woman at the door was relieved. She mustered all her courage and looked at Xu Tianxiang, saying calmly, "It's like this. On Children's Day, Director Xu specifically told me that if someone came to settle the balance of the mung bean cake payment, I should not give them the loan; they should come themselves."
"Is that so?" Principal Liu frowned and looked at Xu Tianxiang upon hearing this.
Xu Tianxiang looked a little guilty, but still said confidently, "Principal, mung bean cakes are not a small amount of money, so it's normal for me to be cautious."
Small amount?
Ye Yun chuckled, "Director Xu, isn't there a sum of money at your school that's much more than this? Is it really necessary for Director Xu to personally entertain me? Are you sure you're not trying to make things difficult for me?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Xu Tianxiang immediately retorted, waving his hand and saying, "I work at a school, how could I do such a thing!"
Ye Yun smiled, "You can know a person's face but not their heart. Director Xu doesn't seem like a good person either."
Xu Tianxiang immediately flew into a rage, "You..."
"Alright! Stop arguing, are you treating this place like a vegetable market?" Just then, an elderly man with white temples and glasses next to Principal Liu spoke up.
Ye Yun looked at him and felt that his aged features looked somewhat familiar.
Oh, she remembered.
This person looks remarkably like Tan Zongguang; is he Tan Zongguang's father?
