He picked up the cup and took a gulp. The bitterness of the tea made him frown, and he cursed: "You old man, next time you drink, I will make you drink to death."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone started buzzing again, and the screen was dazzlingly bright - it was Principal Wang again.
Liu Jianguo's anger flared up immediately. He grabbed the phone and pressed the hang-up button again, pressing it so hard that he almost broke the screen.
But before he could put the phone down, the vibration sound rang for the third time, as if it was competing with him.
After a while, the phone vibrated five or six times. Every time, he called again just after I hung up. The persistence of this old guy made Liu Jianguo laugh.
"Okay, I want to see how you can laugh."
He took a deep breath, swiped his finger across the screen to answer the call, and just as he put the phone to his ear, he heard a hearty laugh from the other end - "Hahahaha! Lao Liu! You finally answered! Hahaha! Hahahahaha!"
“Hahahahaha…hahahahahaha!”
“.......”
The laughter was loud and crisp, with a hint of gloating, and it came through the receiver, making Liu Jianguo's eardrums buzz.
He leaned back in his chair, his face as hard as iron, listening expressionlessly, but in his heart he was thinking, if this Old Wang were here, he would definitely roll up his sleeves and punch that round belly twice to make you laugh to your heart's content.
The laughter from the other side did not stop, and it continued for a full thirty seconds, interspersed with the "bang bang" sound of people slapping the table. Finally, it suddenly stopped and was replaced by a violent coughing - "Cough cough cough... I can't take it anymore... I'm dying of laughter... cough cough..."
Principal Wang was coughing so hard that he couldn't breathe, and his voice was distorted. "Old Liu... you old boy... you have come to this day... haha... cough cough..."
Even though he was choking on his saliva and gasping for breath, he still continued to laugh.
Liu Jianguo held the phone tightly, his eyelids twitching. His tone was calm, yet it carried a piercing force:
"Laughing so happily? Be careful not to laugh too much. If you do laugh too much, I can save some trouble and even some money. I can go directly to burn incense for you."
After saying that, without waiting for Principal Wang to respond, he hung up the phone again and threw the phone back on the table.
The office became quiet again, with only the rustling sound of leaves in the wind outside the window.
Liu Jianguo picked up the cold teacup and took another sip. The depression in his heart became even heavier.
If nothing unexpected happens, Gao Jiefeng must be planning something big. He wanted to poach Gu Luo during the school sports meet, and who knows how he'll show off this time.

The other side.
Gu Luo was wearing the new school uniform of Mingde Middle School, and the collar was slightly blown open by the morning breeze.
He walked in the middle, with Gu Ximan on his left, who had also changed into the Mingde school uniform, and Shen Qingling on his right. The three of them walking side by side looked like a carefully sketched picture of youth, and naturally became the focus of attention along the way.
The first people to notice them were a few Mingde girls.
One of them caught a glimpse of Gu Luo's profile and grabbed his companion's arm, shaking it madly:
"Look, isn't that Guangya's Gu Shen?! Am I seeing things? Why is he wearing our school uniform?"
His companion rubbed his eyes and exclaimed, "It's really Gu Luo!"
The sound of discussion spread quickly among passers-by like a stone thrown into a lake.
A girl with a backpack stopped and took out her phone to secretly take a photo. A few other girls gathered together to discuss the situation.
"Who is the girl next to him? She's so close to him." "The other one is pretty too, but Gu Shen is too amazing, he looks so handsome even in school uniform."
Gu Ximan's cheeks puffed up instantly, like an angry little hamster.
She had originally only gently held Gu Luo's arm, but now she simply tightened her fingers and slid closer to him, rubbing her soft elbow against his forearm while muttering softly, "Damn Gu Luo, how come you're still so popular even at Mingde?"
She glanced at the girls not far away who were secretly looking at Gu Luo, her tone full of jealousy, "These sluts are like they have never seen a man before. Their eyes are almost glued to you! You can't degenerate, do you hear me?"
Gu Luo could clearly feel the soft touch on his arm, warm and soft, like a ball of warm cotton.
The scene from this morning popped up involuntarily in my mind - Gu Ximan was lying on the pillow with her hair disheveled, calling "Brother~" in a sticky voice. Her enchanting and charming appearance made my heart beat faster for a moment.
Suppressing the heat in his heart, he said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I won't degenerate."
I was thinking in my heart that it was impossible for him to fall. Guangya had many beautiful little fans, but no one had been able to get to his position.
Shen Qingling walked beside her, looking at Gu Ximan like a kitten guarding its food, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth:
"Don't be jealous, your eyes will get round if you keep glaring at me."
Gu Ximan turned around and glared at her, but did not let go of Gu Luo's hand. Instead, she held his arm tighter.
After walking for a few minutes, the gate of Mingde Middle School appeared in front of us.
But just as the three of them turned the corner, they stopped in their tracks - a bright red banner was hung at the school gate, with large gold-plated letters on it reading "Warmly welcome Gu Luo to join the Mingde family!"
Standing under the banner was a group of people in suits, led by none other than Mingde University’s principal, Gao Jiefeng. Behind him followed the dean of studies, grade leaders, and even a few subject leaders, all with smiles on their faces.
The area was filled with Mingde students who came to watch the fun, three layers deep inside and three layers deep outside, and the discussions were even more lively than before.
