After Huo Changhai sat down, he saw that there were only a few people left in the office, so it wasn't so secretive anymore.
He said to Gu Xiaoxue, "Director Gu, you've gotten to this position at such a young age, you must have pulled some strings. You don't need to go against me for the sake of a student, do you?"
Gu Xiaoxue said, "Section Chief Huo, I got this position because of my own abilities, and I don't want to talk to you about this today. Now I'm putting this out there: unless Hua Kai's parents come, no one else will be allowed to expel her from school."
Hua Kai didn't sit down, of course. She was a student, and this whole thing was because of her, so she stood by Gu Xiaoxue's desk. Listening to Gu Xiaoxue's words, she felt much more at ease, but she also felt a little guilty. Would this implicate Gu Xiaoxue?
Huo Changhai looked at Gu Xiaoxue with some surprise: "Director Gu, is this really necessary? There are no outsiders here today. Let me be frank with you, Hua Wanhe's father-in-law saved my mother's life, so please give me face today and help Hua withdraw from school, and then let us take his file with us."
Hua Kai felt a sense of panic. This was no simple matter. She had thought that time travelers were all blessed with a halo, but now she felt like she was about to be doomed.
To Hua Kai's surprise, Gu Xiaoxue said to Huo Changhai with certainty, "Hua Kai is someone my friend entrusted with my care, so with me here, no one can make things difficult for her."
The flowers bloomed unexpectedly again; Gu Xiaoxue is indeed a meticulous person.
At this moment, Huo Changhai stood up: "Since Director Gu is so stubborn, then I will go to see your principal."
Gu Xiaoxue also stood up: "Section Chief Huo, please allow me to make a phone call before you decide what to do."
"Xiaoxue, Grandpa has been a principal for decades, dedicating most of his life to teaching and nurturing students. Don't trouble him with this little thing." Ye Yifan had overheard a few words at the door and knew the gist of it. He guessed that Gu Xiaoxue was going to call her grandfather for help, so he quickly came in to stop her.
When Hua Kai saw Ye Yifan, her eyes shone with hope: "Captain Ye, what brings you here?"
Gu Xiaoxue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ye Yifan: "Brother Fan, I'm relieved to see you here. I was thinking I shouldn't have called you, but now it seems I made the right decision."
Hua Wanhe was also surprised to see Ye Yifan. He didn't know why Ye Yifan had come, but he wasn't afraid. His cousin was the section chief of the Education Bureau, and Ye Yifan was just a surveyor. What use was he?
However, when Huo Changhai saw Ye Yifan, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Having been an official for many years, he was very good at judging people. This person gave off a sense of oppression as soon as he entered, and Huo Changhai felt a little flustered.
Ye Yifan walked directly up to Huo Changhai: "I heard you say at the door that you were going to expel Hua Kai from school?"
Huo Changhai, a man who had weathered many storms, said: "It wasn't me who said it, but Hua Kai's second uncle who was entrusted by Hua Kai's father to handle it."
Ye Yifan sneered: "Nonsense. I saw Huakai's father this morning. He still hopes his daughter will get into university. How could he let her drop out?"
Huo Changhai knew it was fake, so he didn't dwell on it. Instead, he said, "Let me introduce myself. I am Huo Changhai, the head of the Basic Education Section of the Education Bureau."
After hearing Huo Changhai's introduction, Ye Yifan ignored him and said to Gu Xiaoxue, "Xiaoxue, can I use your phone?"
Gu Xiaoxue quickly nodded and pushed the phone over.
Ye Yifan dialed a number directly. After the other party answered, Ye Yifan said, "Is this Ma Wenqiang? This is Ye Yifan."
After that name was uttered, Huo Changhai's legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.
Hua Kai didn't know who Ye Yifan had called, but knowing there was no danger, she was completely relieved.
After a brief conversation on the other end of the phone, Ye Yifan continued, "Your subordinate, Huo Changhai, is abusing his power at the No. 1 Middle School and bullying innocent people. You should deal with him."
After saying that, he handed the phone to Huo Changhai: "It's your bureau chief's phone number."
Huo Changhai started wiping his sweat, trembling as he answered the phone, and then kept apologizing and admitting his mistakes.
Hua Kai knew roughly who Ma Wenqiang was; he must be the director of the Education Bureau. Ye Yifan could call him by his name, so their relationship was quite unusual.
She smiled at Ye Yifan, but didn't dare to speak. The person on the other end of the phone was the director of the Education Bureau, and she didn't dare to interfere.
Of course, Hua Wanhe was also dejected at this time.
After finishing the call, Huo Changhai said to Ye Yifan, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ye. It's all my fault. Please, Captain Ye, have mercy and give me a way out. I've gotten to this position at my age entirely through my own efforts. I'm helping Hua Wanhe today to repay a debt of gratitude to my mother. I hope you can understand me and not be so ruthless."
Ye Yifan asked Huo Changhai, "Does repaying a debt of gratitude justify sacrificing innocent people? I advise you not to waste any more time with me, and hurry back to think about how to minimize the losses."
Huo Changhai sighed after hearing Ye Yifan's words, and then hurriedly left. He really needed to go back and explain to the bureau chief to try and avoid being demoted too much.
Hua Wanhe was stunned for a moment before rushing out to chase after him.
Hua Kai watched them leave, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Ye Yifan, "Captain Ye, thank you so much. I owe you an even bigger favor this time."
Ye Yifan smiled and said, "Then we'll pay it back slowly."
Gu Xiaoxue looked at the two of them, and after the initial nervousness, she started to look at them with a gossipy expression.
Ye Yifan looked at Gu Xiaoxue and said, "Help Huakai ask for leave this afternoon. It's not suitable for her to go back to class like this."
Gu Xiaoxue agreed, "Okay, you guys sit down. I'll go ask Huakai for leave and also tell their homeroom teacher." With that, she ran out.
Hua Kai said, "Director Gu, I'll go. I still need to ask Teacher Wang if my parents have called yet, so they don't worry."
Gu Xiaoxue said, "If they call, Teacher Wang will transfer the call to you. You can use the phone on my desk to call your village again and explain the situation. I also need to talk to Teacher Wang when I get there."
Hua Kai said gratefully, "Then I'll have to trouble Director Gu."
Gu Xiaoxue smiled and said, "We're all family here, don't be so polite with me. Please sit down and talk." After saying that, she went out and closed the door behind her.
Ye Yifan looked at the blooming flowers: "Are you alright?"
Hua Kai smiled and shook her head: "It's nothing."
Seeing Ye Yifan in his work uniform and arriving so quickly, she felt a strange mix of emotions. She wanted to say something, but didn't know how. She smiled at Ye Yifan again.
Ye Yifan smiled and said, "Let's call the village so our families won't worry."
Hua Kai found that Ye Yifan's speech was less awkward after they became familiar with each other. She agreed and used the phone on Gu Xiaoxue's desk to call the village.
The person who answered the phone was the village accountant. He said that no one was home at Huakai's house. He left a note on the door, telling anyone who came back to call him from the village, but no one has come yet.
