Before afternoon even arrived, Zhang Jun brought Principal Qin to the door.
When Auntie knocked on the door, Lu Feng was holding her while reading a book.
Lin Wanwan looked at the aunt with some surprise, "Is it from Xiaoming's school?"
Auntie has worked for the Lu family for so many years, she's practically a master at it.
"Director Zhang and Principal Qin said they wanted to talk to Xiaoming outside. Madam said the two children were in class and probably didn't have time. She said she wanted you and the second young master to go out and meet him."
Lin Wanwan nodded, "Okay, just say I'm going out to meet the guests after I change my clothes."
After the aunt left, Lin Wanwan slowly began to change her clothes.
She found a plain, loose-fitting cheongsam to change into, stood in front of the mirror, and asked Lu Feng.
How's this outfit?
Lu Feng put his arm around her and laughed, "Very good, very beautiful, low-key, you have the air of a hidden monk."
Lin Wanwan nudged him with her elbow, "What nonsense are you talking about? Let's go out and meet the guests, honey."
Lu Feng was pleased with her address and led her slowly toward the front hall.
Zhang Jun and Qin Shuhua have been here for almost half an hour, and they haven't seen anyone except for this old lady in front of them.
Song Lanzhi took a sip of tea and said apologetically, "Please have some tea. It's hot, and you must be tired from making the trip. My daughter-in-law is very capable and busy all day long. Please be understanding. Or you can come again next time. In my family, I, the second daughter-in-law, make the decisions. How about we invite you to visit again when she has time?"
Zhang Jun immediately smoothed things over, saying, "Madam, there's no need to be so polite. Please serve us some good tea. We don't mind waiting; after all, the child's future is more important."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Wanwan and Lu Feng walked in hand in hand.
When Song Lanzhi saw her come in, she immediately put on a smiling face. "You're here? Please come and sit down. These two people said they are the principal and director of Xiaoming's school. They said they wanted to see Xiaoming. The child is in class, so I didn't want to disturb him. I could only ask you to come out and meet him. I hope I didn't disturb your work."
Lin Wanwan winked at her, sat down, smiled at Zhang Jun across from her, and didn't say anything.
The aunt served tea to the two of them. Lu Feng took the tea, slowly drank a sip, and then said, "I'm not bothering you. Of course, it's more important to keep our distinguished guests company."
Hearing that your school's principal and director had arrived, my wife and I immediately dropped what we were doing and came over. We hope you haven't been waiting long?
Zhang Jun wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, "Not at all. It was the principal and I who were bothered by your visit without prior notice."
Qin Shuhua nodded stiffly, "Yes, we've disturbed you."
Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "Principal, you are too kind. We are delighted that you have graced our humble abode with your presence. May we ask what brings you two distinguished guests here today?"
Zhang Jun said with a forced smile, "Niece Lin, I handled Xiaoming's matter poorly last time. I've come here specifically to apologize. You see, both Xiaoming and Li are excellent students. Staying at home all the time is disrupting their studies. Why don't we let them go back to school first?"
Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "It's fine at home. I hired a private coach for them, and they've been making pretty good progress lately."
“My dear niece, what are you saying? How can a child be separated from the group? At school, there are teachers and friends. Nowadays, schools require children to develop morally, intellectually, physically, and aesthetically. Homeschooling is not good for a child's growth, don't you think?”
Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "Director Zhang, you've really hit the nail on the head. That's what I was thinking too. It's not good to just stay at home studying and not participate in group activities."
Upon hearing this, Qin Shuhua immediately smiled and replied, "That makes sense. So, for the long-term benefit of both children, when would you two like to send them back to school?"
I only just learned about that incident. Zhou Yang has realized his mistake, and our school has given him a thorough oversight, making him write a self-criticism and give it in front of the entire school. This can be considered as giving Li some justice.
“My family and I are quite relieved to hear the principal say that, but we still need to discuss the matter of Zhou returning to school with him. Since Zhou has decided to make a self-criticism in front of the whole school, let’s let him do it last night.”
Zhang Jun was about to say something when Qin Shuhua stopped him, asking, "Do you two have other ideas about the child returning to school?"
Lin Wanwan looked at the young principal in front of her for a while before saying, "Principal, you are wise. We do have other ideas. I discussed it with my husband, and your school has a high threshold. It might be a bit too much for an ordinary family like ours. So we looked for other schools and are planning to transfer our two children to another one."
Qin Shuhua smiled and said, "Comrade Lin is joking. School is a place for teaching and nurturing people. There is no distinction between high and low status in school. We treat every student equally. The school did make some mistakes in handling things before, and we ask for your understanding."
I have only been in office for a short time and there are still many things to sort out. It is indeed our school's fault that this happened. Both of you are well-mannered and knowledgeable people, and I believe you both value the education of your children very much.
Are you two interested in the bilingual experimental middle school?
Lin Wanwan raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.
"Judging from your expressions, I guessed right. The bilingual experimental school is indeed good, but it is still far inferior to our school's foundation. Since you are still considering it, we will not say any more."
However, I hope that neither of you will gamble with your child's future. Our school is better than the Experimental Middle School in terms of both teachers and other aspects. What happened recently requires not only reflection from Zhou, but also from me.
After speaking, he stood up and bowed deeply to the two of them.
Lin Wanwan and Lu Feng exchanged a glance, both of them incredibly surprised.
"To be honest, I have to go to Li's house later. This incident is also because I, as the principal, failed in my duty. The child was wronged, and I definitely have to go and apologize."
On Monday, not only Zhou needs to write a self-criticism, but I also need to. The school has been strictly enforcing ideological education for teachers recently, and we hope that you two can supervise this process.
The principal of Peking University High School is indeed newly appointed. Whether it's just for show or not, Lin Wanwan now admires him very much.
"The principal surprised me, but I also admire him. I will reconsider sending my child back to school."
Qin Shuhua smiled frankly, "In that case, we won't bother you any longer."
Lin Wanwan stood up and said, "Since the principal is so frank, then I'll add one more thing. I despise those who bully the weak and fear the strong, and those who are materialistic and snobbish. Schools are the purest places. I know that given the environment, some problems are unavoidable, but how to deal with them is entirely up to people."
