With his brother-in-law's help, Wu Youwei's confidence has been swelled these days, and he desperately needs to do something big to show his brother-in-law his skills. This morning, after Wang Dandan reported the problems of a classmate named Zhou Yuanyuan to Wu Youwei, Wu Youwei immediately contacted Principal Xiao to handle the matter. He had already made inquiries and found that Zhou Yuanyuan's family was just an ordinary small vendor, with no powerful relatives. Using her as an example to scare the monkeys and rectify the school spirit at Chaoyang Middle School was the perfect choice.
Seeing that Principal Xiao was unwilling to cooperate, Wu Youwei's face darkened. He felt that he had been giving Principal Xiao a lot of face during this period. Otherwise, with his brother-in-law's relationship, it would be a piece of cake for Principal Xiao to step down.
"Old Xiao! I heard that this student's family is a small clothing vendor. Could they be your relatives? Maybe the clothes worn by your sister-in-law and nephews and nieces are produced by their family?" Wu Youwei was in a bad mood and his words became a little sarcastic.
Wu Youwei's implication was that Principal Xiao had been refusing to expel Zhou Yuanyuan because he had accepted favors from her family. As for the reference to relatives, that was Wu Youwei's deliberate attempt to undermine Principal Xiao. Wu Youwei had worked alongside Principal Xiao at Chaoyang Middle School for so many years, even living in the same dormitory. What was there that he didn't know about Principal Xiao's family affairs?
"Xiao Wu!" Principal Xiao placed the enamel cup heavily on the table and stood up. Even with his good temper, Principal Xiao was so angry at Director Wu that he couldn't sit still.
"Young man, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!" Principal Xiao said this with a deep, measured tone, holding back his anger. Ever since Wu Youwei's brother-in-law was transferred to the Chaoyang District Education Bureau last year, Wu Youwei had changed his usual fawning attitude towards Principal Xiao and become overbearing. Principal Xiao figured that the county magistrate was better off managing the situation, and as long as Wu Youwei didn't overdo things, he was willing to give him some face. He hadn't expected this man to be this way. Pushing for more was the best description of Wu Youwei's behavior over the past six months.
"Hmph! Old Xiao! You have been refusing to expel this bad student, which is bound to cause misunderstandings! What would my brother-in-law think if he knew that this is how you do your job?" Wu Youwei's face was a little fierce. Don't blame him for being ruthless since Xiao Bin is so ignorant. Besides, just now in front of Teacher Wang Dandan, Wu Youwei patted his chest and promised that he would kick Zhou Yuanyuan, the black sheep, out of the school today. As a result, Xiao Bin kept refusing to expel him. Wouldn't Wang Dandan laugh at his control over the school?
"Xiao Wu, you need evidence for everything you do. If a student doesn't come to school, maybe he is sick? Or is there some emergency? Our school needs to understand all these clearly before we can draw a conclusion. We are educators and should not act based on our own subjective consciousness!" Principal Xiao also felt a little impatient. This Wu Youwei is too much. He actually used his brother-in-law to pressure himself. Humph! A small staff member of the Education Bureau is so arrogant. Does he really think he can cover up everything in the Chaoyang District Education Bureau?
Just as Principal Xiao and Wu Youwei were arguing, there was a knock on the principal's office door. Wu Youwei had locked the door when he entered, fearing other teachers might overhear him instigating Principal Xiao to expel the student. Wu Youwei was a bit sneaky, always saying bad things about others in secret and not wanting anyone to know, so he often used Principal Xiao as a scapegoat.
"Come in," Principal Xiao called out. The knock on the door made Principal Xiao breathe a sigh of relief. He felt that his control was almost exhausted. If Wu Youwei continued to pester him, Principal Xiao would lose his temper.
Zhao Yunxiang pushed open the door and walked in. Her eyes flicked between Principal Xiao, who was standing behind the desk, and the somewhat sly-looking Wu Youwei. Zhao Yunxiang smiled and said to Principal Xiao, "Hello, are you Principal Xiao?"
After several years of experience, Zhao Yunxiang no longer possesses the timidity and rusticity of her past. Today, she wears a thin, burgundy, turtleneck, fitted wool dress that reaches just below her ankles. Over her, she wears a pure white, tweed trench coat that hits just above her knees. She wears burgundy sheepskin high heels and black socks. She looks stylish yet possesses a gentle beauty.
As the head of a clothing company, Zhao Yunxiang's clothes were all the latest seasonal items from the brand "Yunyun." When worn by Zhao Yunxiang, "Yunyun" clothes not only highlighted the characteristics of the clothes but also brought out her beauty. It can be said that Hu Sanniang designed "Yunyun" clothes for Zhao Yunxiang from the very beginning.
At Hu Sanniang's request, Zhao Yunxiang would wear "Yunyun" clothes when she went to work, which not only complemented each other, but also served as a good advertisement for "Yunyun".
Zhao Qingshan followed Zhao Yunxiang in. Zhao Qingshan had practiced internal energy, and his hearing was much sharper than that of an average person. Just now, outside the door, Zhao Qingshan had already heard about 70% of what Principal Xiao said. Therefore, Zhao Qingshan had a very good impression of Principal Xiao. He was a good principal who was dedicated to the children and education.
Zhao Qingshan's impression of Director Wu, in turn, was definitely negative. This man, his hair practically falling out, was the director of this school? Could there be such an irresponsible director? He could expel his own child without a second thought. Who gave him the right to do that?
Because it was Zhou Yuanyuan's business, Zhao Qingshan didn't want to steal the limelight from Zhao Yunxiang, his mother. He had made up his mind that if his daughter couldn't handle the matter, it wouldn't be too late for him to step in.
Zhao Qingshan was keeping a low profile today, dressed in ordinary clothes, looking like any other old man on the streets of Kyoto. Following behind Zhao Yunxiang, he was successfully ignored by Principal Xiao and Wu Youwei.
As soon as Zhao Yunxiang walked in, she caught the attention of Wu Youwei and Principal Xiao. Zhao Yunxiang was thirty-five years old, in the prime of her life. Adding to her natural beauty, and Zhou Yuanyuan secretly using spiritual energy to nourish her body over the years, her skin was smooth, firm, and wrinkle-free, making her look only twenty-seven or twenty-eight.
"Miss, what can I do for you?" Principal Xiao was taken aback by Zhao Yunxiang, but he quickly regained his composure. As a principal, he'd seen plenty of big things happen, so he had a pretty good handle on himself.
However, Principal Xiao was very sure that he did not know Zhao Yunxiang.
Just looking at Zhao Yunxiang's clothes, you can tell she comes from a wealthy family. Principal Xiao's daughter once bought a wool skirt similar to the one Zhao Yunxiang was wearing, saying it was a famous brand and cost her three months' salary!
