"Headmaster Xu! There's something I want to say, even though it's unpleasant to hear!"
Xu Shanzhang had a bad feeling, wondering what earth-shattering thing Zhen Wanwan was going to do.
"Teachers are supposed to impart knowledge, teach skills, and resolve doubts, but I think that's not enough! Teachers should not only teach knowledge, but also learn to educate people and instill correct values in children."
"But if all teachers in the world had a personality like Mr. Xu, the country would probably have perished long ago!"
"Pah! You country bumpkin, all talk and no action. Who I am is none of your business!"
When the lady was scolded, Xiao Mei was so angry that her eyes turned red, and she jumped out and pointed at Xu Shengdao.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you insult my wife! Watch your tongue!"
Xu Sheng was even more furious upon hearing this. He had been scolded by Zhen Wanwan first, and then by her maid. Who could tolerate this?
Moreover, he always values his reputation. If he doesn't teach his mistress and servants a lesson today, he'll probably become the laughingstock of the academy tomorrow!
Thinking of this, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and with a swift movement, he slapped the man across the face!
They were stopped by Zhen Wanwan halfway there.
She struggled to control her urge to kill him, and instead took a few needles and secretly pierced Xu Sheng's skin.
He was in so much pain that he crawled on his knees, his face contorted in agony.
Upon hearing this unexpected turn of events, Headmaster Xu hurriedly ordered his men to separate them to prevent further escalation of the conflict.
Qu Huaiyuan also stepped forward, blocking Zhen Wanwan and the others.
The incident happened so suddenly that he didn't have time to help, but thankfully Zhen Wanwan wasn't hurt.
Otherwise, he would be culpable and regret it for the rest of his life!
"You country bumpkin! You just wait! I'll make you pay!"
"Smack..."
Before Xu Sheng could finish his harsh words, he was caught off guard and slapped twice across the face by Headmaster Xu.
Xu Shanchang stared at him with exasperation, wishing he could sew his foul mouth shut.
At this moment, he was filled with regret, wondering why he hadn't simply ordered someone to drag Xu Sheng out and lock him up.
That way, he won't have to make a scene outside.
Zhen Wanwan is that man's wife; the Xu family absolutely cannot afford to offend her!
“Madam Zhen, it’s getting late. Why don’t you go back first today? Once I’ve settled things here, I’ll let you know. I promise I won’t let you down.”
Xu Shanzhang pleaded in a low voice, for the Hua Dynasty of today is no longer the Hua Dynasty of the past.
Anqing Prefecture's current peace is inseparable from Zhuyuan's protection. If anyone offends his wife, the heads of the Xu family will be hanging all over the city walls tomorrow.
"Headmaster Xu! It's not that I'm disrespecting you, it's just that this Mr. Xu is unworthy of being a people's teacher!"
"If he were here at the academy, how could I feel at ease leaving my child here to study?"
Xu Shanzhang's eyebrows were so furrowed they could trap a mosquito; upon hearing Zhen Wanwan's question, he was momentarily stumped.
Although Xu Sheng was his cousin, he could punish him if he made a mistake, but his wife was not someone to be trifled with!
But now, the only option left is to abandon Xu Sheng.
"Don't worry, Madam Zhen. Even if the emperor breaks the law, he is subject to the same punishment as the common people. Although Xu Sheng is my cousin, he has not upheld the proper conduct of a teacher, and the academy cannot tolerate him."
Fortunately, he had long disliked his cousin, but due to the complicated family relationships, he had no opportunity to sort things out.
It's a good thing that we can now openly and legitimately drive people out.
Even if the sky falls, the strategist will hold it up!
After carefully considering the seriousness of the matter, Headmaster Xu, without any lingering concerns, immediately ordered his men to pack up Xu Sheng and send him back.
Even the school buildings were emptied, just waiting for the next teacher.
Seeing how efficiently he handled things, Zhen Wanwan had no further objections. It was such a wonderful thing that she didn't have to do it herself.
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Zhen Wanwan left a thank-you gift and then left the academy with her entourage.
She planned to go to the department store to browse around, and then go home together with Yuan Huizhou after class.
I'll also prepare New Year's gifts for my family and workers.
Zhang Qiaozui, with her sharp eyes, spotted Zhen Wanwan a long time ago and came out upstairs to greet her.
"Manager Zhang! Has there been anything amiss with business lately?"
Zhang Qiaozui recounted everything that had happened during this period, and also mentioned areas that needed improvement. After Zhen Wanwan made some minor modifications, she agreed to implement everything.
"By the way, Master, recently the items used by the ladies on the third floor have been in short supply. Even people from the neighboring county have come here specifically to buy things."
"But... some people buy eight or nine packs at a time, and I'm afraid that some unscrupulous people might take our products and make counterfeits."
Zhen Wanwan's heart skipped a beat. She wasn't afraid of counterfeits; if someone actually made an exact replica, she would be overjoyed.
After all, everything in the department store was made up out of thin air. If, over time, someone discovers the truth, it might not be good.
It would be better to take advantage of the fact that no one can make them yet and set up your own factory to specialize in making women's products.
She'll sell it to those itinerant merchants and let them help her open up sales channels and spread her brand.
Without further ado, Zhen Wanwan whispered a few words in Zhang Qiaozui's ear. Seeing that the other's eyes lit up, she knew that the other understood what she meant.
The two looked at each other and smiled, everything understood without a word.
After choosing the New Year's gifts, Zhen Wanwan got up to pick up her child and take him home.
Unexpectedly, I ran into an acquaintance at the entrance of the department store.
It was Madam Fang who went her separate ways after disembarking from the ship!
Behind her followed a group of elegantly dressed ladies, and a group of maids attending to her.
Zhen Wanwan's eyes lit up; the sucker had arrived.
"Madam Fang! It's been so long! How have you been lately?"
Madam Fang was smiling as she introduced the treasure shop she had discovered to her girlfriends when she unexpectedly ran into Zhen Wanwan.
My mood is definitely not great!
"Madam Zhen! What a coincidence!"
She observed what Granny Zhang and Xiaomei were holding.
It seems that Lady Zhen also heard about the department store's reputation and came here to shop; she has a sharp eye.
Madam Fang came here this time to buy diapers and sanitary napkins.
She also brought Fang Ruzhu from her family.
The little girl's eyes sparkled when she saw Zhen Wanwan; no one knew why she was always so happy whenever she saw her.
Perhaps they were mother and daughter in a past life, but it's not the same.
However, Zhen Wanwan has her own daughter and doesn't care about other people's children.
"Sister Han, who is this lady...?"
Madam Fang's maiden name was Han, and her given name was Han Erniang. The person following behind her was her maternal uncle's daughter-in-law.
They were also the wives of a collateral branch of the Xu family.
They had long heard of the department store and had even sent their maids to buy things from it before; this time, they came specifically to see it for themselves.
I'll also buy some new goods to take home for the New Year, and bring some to my relatives and friends to strengthen our relationships.
After returning home, Madam Fang investigated Zhen Wanwan's identity, but no matter how she investigated, she was just a peasant woman.
But it was precisely because of this that she became even more vigilant.
