Bai Ang wisely blocked out Lin Hai's comments about his future father-in-law and continued to ask:
"Some of those who studied there have become high-ranking military and political officials in Qinghe today, while others have specialized in specific areas and become responsible for various tasks at the Qinghe Industrial Park. Many have stayed on to continue teaching, representing a common thread. Since then, even though Qinghe Night School has become Qinghe College and the number of students has continued to grow, they all respect you as the first teacher and call you Principal, right?"
Hmm? Lin Hai caught on to something, and after pacing around Bai Ang several times, he said, "Sit down and talk."
Bai Ang had no choice but to put half of his buttocks on the chair. To be honest, for his age, this posture was more difficult than standing and answering:
"You said that you are the principal and Minister Shi started out as the vice principal?
You are the person they trust the most. Is Minister Shi also the person they trust the most?
Was the Qinghe industrial zone originally built by you and Minister Shi?
Every time you go on an expedition, even though Minister Shi is not good at military affairs, does he always accompany you?
Even now, in Qinghe's government affairs, finance, education, and the big office that you are so proud of, are they also in charge of Minister Shi?
Even your safety, personal guards, and maids, aren't they also the responsibility of Minister Shi?
I asked something I shouldn't have asked.
If Minister Shi doesn't marry you, who do you think she will marry?
If you don't marry Minister Shi as your principal wife, who do you plan to marry? Who can become the mistress recognized by everyone?
Being your legal wife isn't something you can become simply by being pretty."
"Um..."
This time it was Lin Hai's turn to remain silent.
To be honest, he really didn't think about it that much.
The reason why he wanted to marry Shi Zhen'er in the beginning was that there were not many suitable women in Qinghe at that time. Shi Zhen'er was not only well-educated and well-mannered, but also had some impressive martial arts skills. At the same time, her family could be considered a family tradition of poetry and literature. Most importantly, Shi Zhen'er could really understand what he was saying and could help him, which was especially important for Lin Hai, who was completely in the dark and even felt a strong sense of insecurity and loneliness.
Especially after Wang Liang proposed marriage to Master Shi on behalf of his parents, in everyone's eyes, although the two had not gotten married due to Qinghe's busy affairs, Shi Zhen'er was already his.
Not only other people think so, Lin Hai actually thinks so too, so no one would really regard Shi Zhen'er as an official under Lin Hai, and Lin Hai has always been more intimate with Shi Zhen'er than others.
All of this actually happened naturally.
But why does it seem so utilitarian when Bai Ang says this?
Thinking of this, Lin Hai felt a little uneasy. He always felt that this was not right. People could not be together just because of interests. If they were together just because of interests, they would naturally lose each other due to changes in interests.
To be fair, Lin Hai didn't want to lose Shi Zhener.
Just as Lin Hai was looking around because of his uneasy mood, a faint fragrance wafted over. Lin Hai didn't pay attention to it at first, but suddenly he reacted and broke out in a sweat.
People around Lin Hai don't have the habit of using incense. After all, Qinghe was poor in the past and people couldn't even afford mosquito coils, let alone smoking incense or meat.
But since occupying Taekyong and living in the palace, Shi Zhener has tried to use incense on herself like other women of that era.
Lin Hai looked around the warehouse and saw that the incense was piled up like a mountain. It was enough to smoke ten thousand Shi Zhen'er into bacon, so he didn't bother with her. It didn't cost any money anyway.
The scent Lin Hai smelled now was the scent Shi Zhener had chosen as her favorite.
In order to avoid this, other women in the palace never used incense with this scent again.
It was obvious that Shi Zhen'er had appeared in a place where Lin Hai could not see her.
Lin Hai looked at Bai Ang again and found that this old man was shivering in his seat and kept wiping his sweat in the middle of winter. It was obvious that he had already seen Shi Zhener when he finished saying these words!
Bai Ang was sitting on the right side of Lin Hai, which means that there must be a Shi Zhener behind the screen on the left side of Lin Hai!
It is now the most critical, urgent and dangerous moment!
For the first time, Lin Hai felt that he might not even see the day when his regime was officially established, and would be killed by a flying stone from afar...
Fortunately, as a former office worker, Lin Hai has also undergone countless surprise inspections, mysterious investigations, etc., and has also been tortured to death by all kinds of strange girlfriend inspections and survival problems.
At this critical moment of life and death, he stimulated his potential.
Lin Hai quickly calmed down, then forced his head to face Bai Ang and said in a friendly manner, "Bai Ang, you only know one side of our story back then. It's normal for you to have such a misunderstanding."
Yes, Lin Hai not only wanted to save himself, but also wanted to rescue his subordinate.
As soon as Lin Hai said the word "misunderstanding", Bai Ang was so moved that he almost cried. There is such a lord who is willing to take responsibility to save his subordinates. He really made me cry.
After all, Bai Ang had already made plans for Lin Hai to use him as a shield.
"What you said back then was all true, but you forgot that people are all made of flesh and blood. How could I not know how Zhen'er felt when she treated me like this? What really brought us all to where we are today wasn't profit, nor was it the positions of principal or vice principal, but love.
It's the relationship between me and Zhen'er. Although we haven't married yet, I dare say our love is deeper than that of other old couples. It's also the relationship between me and my students, and the relationship between the people of Qinghe and all of us.
It is these feelings that allow us to support each other and get through the most difficult times, and it is these feelings that have brought us to where we are today.
So, you are wrong. There is no reason that the principal must marry the vice principal, right?
It’s not that I have to marry Zhen’er, but because of Zhen’er, I have to marry a wife!”
After Lin Hai finished speaking, Bai Ang looked at him in shock. He had never expected that he could say so many things, both true and false. It seemed that this man was truly wasting his talent if he didn't become the emperor...
"You're so good, Bai Ang, you actually tried to sow discord between me and Brother Lin!"
Just as Lin Hai was lamenting that his acting skills had not become rusty, Shi Zhener's voice came from behind the screen.
