"Hello, Principal Xiao, I'm Zhou Yuanyuan's mother. Your school called and asked me to come over..." Before Zhao Yunxiang could finish her words, Wu Youwei beside her shouted, "Huh?"
Wu Youwei's sudden cry attracted the attention of the three people in the principal's office. Principal Xiao frowned. He really didn't know what was wrong with Wu Youwei. How could people view the quality of their school's teachers if he was so jumpy?
Indeed, Chaoyang Middle School's external image is extremely important to Principal Xiao. This school has been the heart and soul of Principal Xiao for over a decade, which is one of the reasons why Principal Xiao dislikes Wu Youwei's tinkering.
Wu Youwei ignored the looks others gave him. At this moment, his face looked a little gloomy.
This morning, when Wang Dandan visited Wu Youwei, she confirmed that Zhou Yuanyuan's family was a small clothing vendor. Wasn't Wu Youwei aware of what a small vendor looked like? Their faces were full of weariness and fatigue.
This woman does not resemble the image of a small vendor at all. Looking at Zhao Yunxiang's appearance and dress, people would believe that she is a lady from a wealthy family.
Zhao Yunxiang and Wang Dandan, who is lying between them?
Wu Youwei weighed the pros and cons and decided to trust Teacher Wang Dandan. Wang Dandan was a teacher at Chaoyang Middle School and worked under Wu Youwei, so she wouldn't dare lie to him.
After thinking it over, Wu Youwei turned around and shouted at Zhao Yunxiang, "Who are you? Why are you pretending to be Zhou Yuanyuan's parent? Don't think that just because you find someone dressed up like a clown to scare people, you can make our school change its decision to expel Zhou Yuanyuan."
Zhao Yunxiang was startled by Wu Youwei's sudden shout, and then she became a little angry.
"Excuse me, are you the principal of Chaoyang Middle School?" Zhao Yunxiang asked Wu Youwei without any hesitation.
"Director Wu, please be responsible for your words. When did I ever say I wanted to expel Zhou Yuanyuan?" Principal Xiao was also furious at Wu Youwei's words. This Wu Youwei was really outrageous. He hadn't agreed to expel Zhou Yuanyuan yet Wu Youwei was just talking nonsense here. Did he really think he was the head of Chaoyang Middle School?
Wu Youwei ignored Principal Xiao and turned to Zhao Yunxiang: "Yes, I am Wu Youwei, the Dean of Studies at Chaoyang Middle School. What do you think?"
Wu Youwei? No~Youwei! No wonder he doesn't know what he's talking about or doing!
Zhao Yunxiang glanced at Wu Youwei with disdain and said, "Your Education Department called my company over half an hour ago and asked me to come to the school within an hour to deal with the child's problem. Now you're asking who I am. You're really a bit baffling."
Wu Youwei looked at Zhao Yunxiang seriously, then shook his head and said, "Lady, I made the call myself. I asked Zhou Yuanyuan's parents to come to the school. I didn't ask you to come. Why are you here to join in the fun?"
Zhao Yunxiang was nearly amused by Wu Youwei's anger. She wondered what was going on in Director Wu's brain. How could someone like him hold such an important position as Dean of Studies? Was the principal's eyes clouded with goo? Was she even being asked to prove she was Zhou Yuanyuan's mother?
"Principal Xiao, let me formally introduce myself. My surname is Zhao, and my given name is Qingshan. I am Zhou Yuanyuan's grandfather. This is my daughter Zhao Yunxiang, Zhou Yuanyuan's mother. We came to school today to see if Yuanyuan has suffered any grievances in school since she hasn't been in school these days?" Zhao Qingshan took two steps forward, walked around Wu Youwei who was standing aside and shouting, and spoke directly to Principal Xiao.
In just a moment, Zhao Qingshan finally realized that the cause of this was Director Wu. He wondered why Director Wu disliked his granddaughter and was so aggressive in causing trouble for her. However, none of this was within Zhao Qingshan's consideration. No matter what Director Wu said, his daughter, Yuanyuan, was a student at this school. If the principal was unreasonable, he could always find another solution. Zhao Qingshan thought.
Zhao Qingshan, a shrewd old man, naturally wouldn't claim that his family hadn't seen Zhou Yuanyuan in recent days. He simply shifted some of the blame onto the school, misleading Principal Xiao into making a hasty decision to expel Zhou Yuanyuan. If the school took a little longer, Zhao Qingshan could find a way to find Zhou Yuanyuan later.
As for a clown like Wu Youwei, Zhao Qingshan was too lazy to talk to him. Principal Xiao was here, and school affairs should still be decided by Principal Xiao.
"Doctor Zhao, it's you! I'm so sorry I didn't recognize you just now." Principal Xiao recognized Zhao Qingshan after hearing him introduce himself. A few years ago, when Principal Xiao suffered from periarthritis of the shoulder, he went to Renhe Hospital to see Zhao Qingshan for several acupuncture treatments.
At that time, Zhao Qingshan had just arrived in Kyoto City. After his knee injury healed, he had just started practicing Zhao's martial arts again.
Over the years, Zhao Qingshan had never stopped practicing. The energy cultivated by the Zhao family martial arts made him look energetic, and even his graying hair had darkened considerably. Therefore, Principal Xiao was hesitant to recognize Zhao Qingshan at first, fearing the possibility of mistaking him for someone else and making a fool of himself. It was normal for people in their sixties to age gradually, but Principal Xiao had never seen someone as aging as Zhao Qingshan before.
"You are... Xiao Xiao!" Zhao Qingshan recognized Xiao Bin. When Zhao Qingshan first arrived at Renhe Hospital, he didn't have many patients at first, and Dr. Liu would occasionally disrupt the practice. In the first month, Xiao Bin was the only patient Zhao Qingshan saw, so Zhao Qingshan had a deep impression of Xiao Bin.
"Doctor Zhao, are you still working at Renhe Hospital? You cured my frozen shoulder last time, and it hasn't come back in the past few years." Principal Xiao came out from behind his desk and personally made tea for Zhao Qingshan and Zhao Yunxiang. To be honest, Principal Xiao was very grateful to Zhao Qingshan. Without him, he would have been unable to lift his arm due to the pain.
"Oh, I'm not seeing patients in the hospital anymore. I usually help people with their health." Zhao Qingshan also exchanged pleasantries with Principal Xiao. The people Zhao Qingshan helped with their health were all leading cadres, so Zhao Qingshan couldn't mention any of them, fearing that people would think he was showing off, so he had to be vague.
"Hmph!" Wu Youwei felt a pang of discomfort at seeing how affectionately Principal Xiao treated Zhao Qingshan and his daughter. What was so great about being a doctor? They were in the education field, not medical care at all. Even if he'd offended Zhao Qingshan today, there was nothing to fear. Furthermore, the old man wasn't even qualified to work in a hospital anymore. He was probably just secretly treating some elderly men and women to make a living!
