"Taking sides means..."
Director Zhang hesitated for a moment, even though he already understood a little bit about it.
However, it would be best if the vice principal brought this up himself.
As a subordinate, you can't be smarter than your boss.
Director Zhang understands these basic workplace etiquette rules.
"This proves that from now on, we will be on the same boat as the Xia family. Although... from the moment we chose to accept Ning Zheyuan's funding, our stance should have been tilted towards the Xia family, but from today onwards, all of this will be out in the open."
The vice principal let out a deep breath, and his mind began to work.
so……
Ning Zheyuan's purpose in coming today was not as simple as asking him to keep Jiang Yu's specific situation a secret.
It was because they hadn't expressed their stance or indicated their position that Ning Zheyuan was dissatisfied with.
Whichever the possibility...
From now on, this situation will change.
Weiyang Middle School was completely dragged onto Ning Zheyuan's ship; in other words...
They were dragged onto the Xia family's ship.
"Huh? But isn't the Xia family no longer in the country?"
Although Director Zhang's daily life consisted of going back and forth between home and school, he still knew a little about this major news that had swept through the entire Jiang City.
The dominant family in Jiang City, for reasons unknown, fled abroad with its members overnight. Some of their assets left in Jiang City were not even taken with them. Rumors circulated that the Xia family may have sensed something in advance, which is why they sold off all the assets they could and fled overseas.
This rumor caused considerable volatility in the stock market in Jiang City.
If it weren't for the intervention of several other powerful companies that stabilized the stock market, this increasingly widespread doomsday rumor would likely have completely destroyed the entire Jiang City economic circle.
"Leaving is only temporary. You don't really think the Xia family will never come back after leaving, do you?"
The vice principal suddenly smiled; he did indeed see things more clearly than Director Zhang.
"Wh...what do you mean?"
Director Zhang was somewhat bewildered.
Will the Xia family return?
Is it true or false...?
The sudden departure of the Xia family caused many shareholders who had bought Xia family stocks to commit suicide due to the plummeting stock market.
The negative news surrounding them was quite significant, so how did they manage to come back under those circumstances?
He'd be torn to shreds in the street by those crazy stock market investors...
"Xiao Zhang... We are all teachers, and our responsibility is to cultivate talents who can drive social progress in the future. But that doesn't mean we have to be isolated from the world or that we can't have our own stance..."
The vice principal said calmly, "At the level of the Xia family, it's difficult for worldly forces to kill them. Their return is only a matter of time. I think... the reason Boss Ning came here this time, besides solving Jiang Yu's problem, is more to give us a warning."
"From now on, Weiyang will be on the same side as the Xia family. You must remember this."
“I don’t understand what the principal is thinking, but if that’s not his idea, we can’t force it. I don’t intend to change his mind, so as for the issue of taking sides… we just need to show our attitude.”
"With Boss Ning, we are on his side, understand?"
The vice principal's words still sounded somewhat unreal to Director Zhang.
His life was a monotonous routine, going back and forth between two points every day. Although he was considered a big shot in the eyes of ordinary people, only he knew his own situation. Director Zhang never dared to hope that he could one day get involved with those big families.
But judging from what the vice principal said...
Is this alliance with the Xia family meant to isolate the principal and leave him to fend for himself?
Director Zhang's pupils contracted slightly, then suddenly dilated.
This is an attempt to create a faction independent of the principal!
"It seems you understand."
The vice principal's eyes flickered slightly, and a smile, incongruous with his age, appeared on his aged face.
He was right about him.
The decision to bring Director Zhang along was the right one.
This guy may be a bit old-fashioned in his approach to things, but he's not stupid.
"But……"
Director Zhang subconsciously licked his lips, his heart burning with excitement, making his mouth dry.
Are they going to break away and become independent?
Keeping it from the principal...
To establish their own faction?
There are factional struggles within Weiyang Middle School.
This kind of thing isn't surprising if you think about it for a moment.
Wherever there are people, there is a world of its own.
Even though this is Weiyang, the best middle school in Jiang City, it is still the same.
Director Zhang does not belong to any faction, partly because he is not interested in factions, and partly because he is capable enough to obtain the power he deserves without joining any faction.
On the other hand, it's because...
He was clueless about social etiquette and had unintentionally offended many people. Basically, the leaders of those factions didn't like him and disliked him, so over time, no one tried to win him over.
Looking across the entire Weiyang district, among the leaders who have influence, only the vice principal is willing to give him a helping hand, and this time is no exception.
"...Never mind, there's nothing to worry about, Vice Principal, I'll do whatever you say!"
Director Zhang didn't say anything more. He looked at the vice principal and respectfully lowered his head.
His temperament makes it difficult for him to integrate into any particular circle.
This has offended many people.
Only the vice principal was willing to take him along to meet different people and broaden his horizons.
Now they even want to create a separate faction to oust the principal and bring him along to cooperate with the Xia family.
This is fantastic news!
If, at a time like this, I not only fail to appreciate your kindness but also dampen your spirits and say discouraging things...
No matter how low Director Zhang's emotional intelligence is, or how rigid he is, he wouldn't do something so ungrateful.
Now that the vice principal had made his decision, Director Zhang felt that he didn't need to think about anything, just trust the other party completely and follow their lead.
"very good."
The vice principal reached out with satisfaction and patted Director Zhang on the shoulder.
There was a hint of relief in his eyes.
It seems that all my years of cultivation have not been in vain.
All that hard work paid off.
Finally, he managed to make Director Zhang one of his own trusted subordinates.
So what's next...?
It's time for things to change in Weiyang.
...
"Ring ring—"
The bell that was originally meant to signal the end of the second period became, today, the bell that signaled the end of the first exam.
The quiet senior high school building suddenly became lively.
One second it was completely silent, the next it turned into a noisy ocean.
