Chapter 193
…
On the side of Principal Wang's main seat sat an old man of the same age as him. Unlike Principal Wang's rough appearance, the old man had a straight back, wore a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, was thin, and looked gentle. Although he was old and had some wrinkles on his face, one could vaguely tell that he was a handsome man when he was young.
This old man was none other than Ouyang Lu, the vice president of United University and Wang Guangnian’s long-time friend and work partner.
President Wang Guangnian, his longtime friend and partner, was about to lose face. Although Ouyang Lu felt like laughing like everyone else, his old friend, even though he was about to retire, couldn't let go of his worries about the Department of Optics. He had put so much effort into this over the past two years, and yet this was the result... Thinking of this, Ouyang Lu spoke up at the critical moment, giving his old partner a way out.
"Ahem, nobody's perfect. This kid's academic performance is so top-notch, maybe his shooting is the only thing that's weak. And yet, he ran into you, the principal, on the first day. It's fate, really."
"Yes, yes. With such excellent academic performance, even if the shooting performance is a little poor, the other aspects can make up for it..."
"Yes, Principal, it's just that child's bad luck that the first day of military training is in his weakest subject."
…
As soon as Ouyang Lu finished speaking, the people present quickly echoed him.
In this way, everyone talked one after another, and the atmosphere gradually became lively. Principal Wang Guangnian finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. When no one was paying attention, he gave his old friend a look of gratitude. Of course, he did not forget to glare at the secretary general.
He is still his most capable assistant, but he doesn't know how to save the situation. Fortunately, there is the old guy Ouyang Lu. It seems that the old friend is the most reliable at the critical moment.
A secretary general who was glared at: He had just recovered from the terrible "curse" of salary and bonus deductions, and he hadn't figured out why his boss was glaring at him.
"In that case, let's see how she performs next." Principal Wang pretended to be relaxed as he walked down the stairs, speaking casually. Then, he quickly changed the subject and said, "Okay, let's continue the meeting. Ouyang, tell everyone about what we're going to discuss next."
Ouyang Lu glanced at Wang Guangnian: Is this going to end? Wasn't this meeting just about one thing? What else is there?!
Wang Guangnian: Please help!
If we adjourn the meeting now, wouldn't it be a clear criticism meeting? As the head of the school, wouldn't he lose face and dignity? He absolutely refused!
Ouyang Lu: I want to curse! Saving you once isn’t enough, I have to save you a second time!
Wang Guangnian: Please, I’m your old friend!
The two exchanged glances for more than ten seconds before Ouyang Lu finally came to the rescue. Fortunately, school had just started and there were indeed a lot of things to do, so he could pick out a few to discuss.
The meeting lasted for half an hour before it ended. Although our principal Wang lost face, at least the essence was saved.
At this time, only Wang Guangnian and Ouyang Lu were left in the principal's office area.
The two were still sitting at their seats at the conference table, and it was obvious that they both had something to say to each other.
"Ouyang, thank goodness you saved me today, otherwise I would have lost my reputation. Thank you so much..."
"Wang Guangnian, that's enough. Stop acting in front of me. Are you trying to figure out what kind of person you are? If you really want to thank me, then show me something practical. Give me that century-old wine in your collection."
"What! This won't do. I haven't even had a sip! Ouyang, you're really taking advantage of me..." When Wang Guangnian heard his old friend asking for the only bottle of century-old wine that he had spent a huge amount of money to get, he immediately put on a miser's face.
"Look at how stingy you are. After so many years, you haven't changed at all. Hahaha..." Ouyang Lu couldn't help laughing as he just acted like a bootlicker and suddenly turned into a miser.
