Chapter 1049: Who is this person?
"Principal! I'm so sorry I'm late!" the person said, wiping away sweat as he apologized.
Gu Yin quickly waved her hand: "It's okay, I didn't notify you. You don't need to come over so late at night. You look so anxious. Sit down and have a glass of water."
The principals of the various branch schools were not chosen by Gu Yin or the Chu family; they were all people sent over from above. They knew Gu Yin, but they did not know her character or personality.
Wang Dawei came from the Yangcheng Military Region and was working at the Party School when he was assigned here as the person in charge.
Hearing Gu Yin's words, Wang Dawei breathed a sigh of relief.
This leader is clearly not the kind of person who bluffs or likes to put on a show.
He finds pragmatic people easier to get along with and better able to carry out his work.
"Thank you, Principal!" Wang Dawei sat down, drank some water, and looked at Gu Yin, waiting for instructions.
Gu Yin: "...I'm fine here. Why don't you go back first? Just take me to see the place tomorrow. I'm quite at ease here. With Chief Zhang here, I don't think there will be any major problems. I plan to stay for only two days before leaving."
Hearing this, Zhang Huanan, who was standing next to him, smiled. Gu Yin chose to start from his side, which must be because she trusted him. Such trust was rare.
Wang Dawei paused for a moment, then stood up and said, "Okay, then I'll head back now. You can contact me anytime if you have any questions or requests. My phone is on 24/7. Well then, sir, I'll be leaving now."
Zhang Huanan nodded: "Let's go."
After everyone left, Gu Yin smiled helplessly and said, "Did the people at the school gate notify you?"
Zhang Huanan nodded: "You have to get used to this phenomenon. When you go to other places, you may encounter some situations that you find unacceptable, but in some situations, you will be used to it. If you feel uncomfortable, just say so. You don't have to endure it."
That's just how things are in officialdom sometimes.
“I know I can’t control other places, but these kinds of behaviors are absolutely not allowed in schools. Otherwise, how will we manage people with superpowers in the future? That’s the purpose of my trip. You can rest assured.”
The two chatted for a while longer before Zhang Huanan went back.
The next morning, as soon as Gu Yin and the others went downstairs, they saw Wang Dawei waiting there.
Upon seeing Gu Yin, he immediately walked over.
"headmaster."
Gu Yin checked the time; it was nine o'clock. The students had been in class for half an hour, and the cafeteria was preparing lunch.
"Take me to the cafeteria."
Wang Dawei nodded upon hearing this: "Okay! This way."
As Gu Yin and her group walked toward the canteen, they passed the playground and saw the students running.
"How long have these students been enrolled?"
"It's only been a week, and the review process is already complete. I haven't activated my special ability yet. According to the procedure, I need to train for a month first."
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this: "That's fine then."
The group was stopped when they entered the kitchen.
"The kitchen is a restricted area; unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter!" A man saw them and quickly came out, blocking them at the door.
Wang Dawei walked forward: "I am Vice Principal Wang Dawei, and this is Principal Zhou Guyin. We've come to take a look at the school cafeteria."
The man nodded and extended his hand: "Welcome, Principal and Vice Principal. This is a very important place, concerning the safety and health of the students. Without the notice from above, I still cannot let you in. If you want to come in, you have to follow the procedures. I hope you can understand our work."
Gu Yin and Wang Dawei both shook hands with him.
Gu Yin didn't say anything. Wang Dawei was the person in charge here, so she just needed to keep an eye on things.
"I understand. I have submitted the application to the relevant departments, and it should be ready for you now."
Before the man could say anything, his phone rang. He took out his phone and saw an email from the administration department containing the documents approving the vice principal's inspection application.
"The email has arrived. You can come in after you put on your head covers and masks. Once inside, do not touch the food in the kitchen. Also, there are too many of you, so please have fewer people come in."
Gu Yin raised an eyebrow, her demands quite strict: "You also came from the military?"
The man nodded upon hearing this: "Yes."
No wonder.
Gu Yin put on her equipment and followed them into the control room.
The rows of green vegetables, radishes, cabbages, and other vegetables inside were neatly arranged. Regardless of hygiene, just looking at them was pleasing to the eye.
Gu Yin glanced at the corner of the wall and the stove; both were very clean.
"Where are the special ingredients that are delivered every week?" Gu Yin asked the other person.
"It's in this cabinet over there. Only the head chef and I have the key. There's a camera inside." After saying that, he walked to a cabinet that looked like a safe, took out the key, and opened the cabinet door.
Looking at their strictness, Gu Yin sighed helplessly, "There's no need to be so careful."
"That won't do. This is the most important thing. It must be extracted and stored with strict care!" The person in charge immediately shook his head upon hearing this.
Only when things are under control can chaos be prevented.
Just then, someone came over to collect the ingredients for today's cooking, and the person in charge brought out a portion.
Gu Yin saw that everything had already been allocated, placed in bags, and she couldn't take more than she wanted.
Chi Xing walked around the kitchen and came to Gu Yin's side.
Gu Yin looked at her, and she shook her head, indicating that there was nothing unusual.
After looking at it for a while, Gu Yin suggested going to the next place.
After leaving the kitchen, the group went to the building materials room to check the equipment, which was all within the required specifications. They continued until noon, touring the entire school, but found no problems.
"After your afternoon nap, I'll take you to the pharmaceutical factory." Zhang Huanan said to Gu Yin as they came out of the canteen.
Gu Yin shook her head upon hearing this: "I won't go to the pharmaceutical factory. Those are all people from your military. The medicines we made before were also made there. I trust you to that extent. There are no problems here. Let's go directly to our next destination and say goodbye."
Zhang Huanan exclaimed in surprise: "So rushed?"
Gu Yin nodded: "There are so many hospitals across the country. I won't feel at ease if I don't visit them one by one."
Zhang Huanan knew that Gu Yin had a heavy task, so he didn't try to keep her: "Alright, I'll take you to the airport now. Come over and visit sometime."
On her way to the airport, Gu Yin thought of the other side of the sea.
"How are the negotiations going with Hong Kong and Macau?"
"Oh, over there, they don't seem to have any objections. They say they'll observe the changes this year and catch up with us next year. The main problem is that the people there aren't very cooperative, so we can't start yet."
Gu Yin thought back to this time in her previous life, when Hong Kong was indeed at its most chaotic.
"Then let's wait a bit longer." There's no rush. If things improve next year, we can stimulate it again, which will also help weed out some of the bad actors.
Upon arriving at the airport, Zhang Huanan initially wanted to ask if the next stop was in a neighboring province or somewhere else, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
Gu Yin continued her inspection along the coastal cities. In South China, which was under Zhang Huanan's management, there were no problems, so she didn't turn back and headed directly towards the eastern provinces.
"Next is Haicheng. After we get to Haicheng, should we continue north or travel through the central region?" Wen Xin asked as she flipped through the documents after getting off the plane.
If we go forward, we will pass through part of the central region, then enter the north, then travel through other parts of the central region before heading west. That was the original route. Now, at this crucial juncture, Wenxin will ask again as usual.
Gu Yin thought about the map in her mind: "Go through the central part, and then head north after you've covered the whole area."
Upon hearing this, Wenxin replanned her route.
Haicheng is a municipality directly under the central government, and it has a separate branch school. The Chu family has a considerable influence and foundation in Haicheng.
When Chu Xiong was building the school here, all the major wealthy families knew about it. They originally thought he was building a prestigious school for the elite, and since the Chu family had already stepped down from their position as the richest family, they didn't pay much attention. The list of young masters sent over were not those who would become heirs.
That was the original plan, but after Gu Yin's Five Elements Academy was exposed, these people sensed something was wrong, like cats smelling fish.
Gu Yin is still valued by the country, and she is still with the Chu family. The Five Elements Academy that Gu Yin attends is being built by the Chu family. As for the matter of Chu Yan, whether it is true or false is unclear.
No one dared to think too deeply about it, but they knew that the Chu family was different from them. If they had survived this ordeal, it would have been inevitable that the Chu family would change their status, and it might even have reached a point where they could no longer get close to them!
So after recruiting students at the Haicheng branch school, heirs and children from all the major families were sent in.
Haicheng has many wealthy people, which has led to its branch schools being similar to elite private schools, resulting in issues such as school bullying and instructors being unable to control the students.
Gu Yin, Wen Xin, and Chi Xing changed into school uniforms, while Xiao Sheng and Gu Ran changed into instructor uniforms. The five of them left the Chu Family Hotel and got into the car arranged by the Chu family.
"Looking like this, you shouldn't be able to tell it's me, right?" Gu Yin, now with a different face, looked at Chi Xing.
Chi Xing looked at Gu Yin, whose once straight black hair had now been replaced with a white princess cut that made her face appear even more delicate, and shook her head: "Completely different, don't worry! You look like a proud and noble little princess right now!"
She also altered her face using special techniques, so that people who weren't particularly familiar with her wouldn't recognize her as Gu Yin at all. The others also looked different.
"Alright then, let's go, get out of the car. I want to see why the military can't control things here? Who is this powerful figure who can control everything here!"
