In order not to affect his daughter's mood, Zhou Boyue did not tell her about his family's disturbance.
Since agreeing to Song Ming's proposal, Zhou Meiling has been in a dilemma. How can she tell her parents that she is not going home alone this time, but bringing someone else with her?
Thinking of my father's bad temper, I felt I could only drag it out for one day at a time. After all, I had such a poor ability to cope with stress.
Song Mingyuan took advantage of the weekend to go home and briefly told his parents about it, and received their strong support.
Zhao Susu selected two items from her valuables and told him not to bring them when they met.
Song Aiguo took out some money and gave it to his son, telling him that it wasn't easy being away from home and that he had to be patient. If things got really bad, he should stay somewhere else and not cause trouble for others.
...
Before we knew it, the holiday was approaching, and some students had already begun to leave school early.
Qiao Xiaoni thought she could apply to leave school early so she wouldn't have to come back. With that in mind, she knocked on the principal's office door after school.
When Meng Xi saw that the person who came in was Qiao Xiaoni, she quickly let her into the house, then closed the door, and locked it again for peace of mind, before turning around and explaining with a smile.
"Don't be afraid. I have something I want to talk to you about, and I was afraid of being disturbed, so I locked the door."
Qiao Xiaoni is not afraid of the principal, because if he dares to lay a hand on her, she guarantees she will beat him so badly that he can no longer take care of himself.
Meng Xi poured a cup of hot tea and placed it on the table: "I forged a new copy of your file, but I haven't told you about it until now."
"Oh." Qiao Xiaoni wasn't too surprised; she had already guessed this outcome. If the principal hadn't forged the files, the blunder would have been exposed long ago.
Of course, she had made preparations at the beginning, and had made arrangements with her former principal that she would help communicate and coordinate if anything happened.
Looking at the girl in front of her, Meng Xi saw no sign of panic. Unlike those impetuous students, she was sure to achieve great things in the future. She sat back down in her chair.
"I'm keeping you at school for no other reason than because you're a talented person, and I don't want to miss out on such a talent."
"Principal, you flatter me. I was just lucky," Qiao Xiaoni chimed in, wanting to see what the old fox was up to.
"That's right, let's be frank and straightforward, I don't want to beat around the bush anymore."
"There will be a competition when school starts after the New Year. You will represent your age group and just need to be in the top three." Meng Xi finished explaining her requirements and waited for a response.
"Was this a threat?" Qiao Xiaoni's smile gradually disappeared. She hated being threatened by others, even for the most trivial things.
Meng Xi noticed the changes in her expression. It seemed that a hard approach wasn't working, so she had to try a softer one. She took off her glasses and feigned distress, saying, "I know my request is difficult for you. Do you understand how tough it is to be a school principal?"
I'm just thinking, could you please help me this once, considering how much I've helped you? This is a one-time offer, there definitely won't be a next time.
"Really?" Qiao Xiaoni couldn't stand his persistent pleading. Actually, helping him once wouldn't hurt, since she had already received a favor from him.
"Yes," Meng Xi replied affirmatively.
"Okay!" Qiao Xiaoni could tell he was acting, but since she still had to study, she could accept his request as long as it wasn't excessive.
Meng Xi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. For the first time, she felt that negotiation was really difficult!
