Zhu Siliang noticed the atmosphere was becoming increasingly awkward, so he quickly stood up and smiled gently.
"So you're the newly arrived school doctor and medical assistant. Welcome!"
Qin Beiming clearly had no patience for pleasantries with each of them, and went straight to the point asking:
"Principal Zhu, is that right? Could you please tell me, Qin, what mistake did Ling make that requires a closed-door interrogation?"
"Xiao Qin, what is your relationship with Ling Mo?"
Xiao Yingying is known for being a sucker for good looks, and since she rarely sees such a handsome man, she naturally wouldn't give up easily.
Sure enough, just two seconds after Qin Beiming's "noisy" remark had left her blushing, she started giving him flirtatious glances again.
"What's it to you?"
Qin Beiming replied impatiently, then asked Zhu Siliang again:
"Tell me, why would you deliberately make things difficult for a student who excels in both character and academics?"
Upon hearing the words "excellent in both character and academics," even Ling Mo couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Over the years, Qin Beiming was definitely the first person to describe her as "excellent in both character and academics".
Those who know her well should know that she has no intention of being a well-behaved student; skipping classes and fighting are her interests.
Although Zhu Siliang did not show it on his face, there was a clear sense of apprehension in his eyes when he looked at Qin Beiming.
After a moment's hesitation, he finally took a step back and cautiously spoke:
"Here's what happened. Ling Mo performed amazingly in last Friday's standardized test, exceeding everyone's expectations and scoring 705 points. In order to verify whether Ling Mo's and other top-ranking students' scores were inflated, the teaching team has unanimously decided to gather the top 50 students in the standardized test for an additional exam."
"Ling's progress is remarkable and deserves praise, yet you suspect her of cheating on the exam. Is this what teachers should do?"
Qin Beiming thought to himself that it must be this group of hypocritical scoundrels who angered Ling Mo, causing her to throw the class around by getting zero marks on tests all the time.
If there's a next time, he'll definitely take care of all those stubborn old men.
Zhu Siliang knew that the man before him was not someone to be trifled with, and he frequently wiped away cold sweat, carefully explaining:
"Ling's rapid progress is indeed something to be happy about. However, jumping from last place to first place all at once is quite a leap. Without a reasonable explanation, it will be difficult to convince everyone."
Qin Beiming replied:
"No matter what, you shouldn't have let Ling, who is so kind-hearted, suffer such a great injustice. You may not feel sorry for her, but I do."
Upon hearing this, all the teachers present held their breath, curiously observing the man in front of them who possessed an extraordinary demeanor and spoke with a slightly arrogant tone.
Is this person really just a special assistant to the school doctor?
If that's the case, why does the principal seem so wary of him?
Furthermore, what did he mean by saying "I feel sorry for you" so casually?
Qin Beiming realized he had inadvertently revealed his true feelings, and an embarrassed expression appeared on his face. He then added:
"I ask you, if your children were treated unfairly at school, would you feel sorry for them? I am just speaking out for Ling's family."
"Xiao Qin, you may have misunderstood. I am different from them; I am unmarried."
Xiao Yingying was intimidated by Qin Beiming's overwhelming aura, so she didn't dare to get close to him. However, when it came to important matters such as whether she was married or had children, she finally mustered up the courage to explain carefully.
"I can't tell."
Qin Beiming completely disregarded Xiao Yingying's feelings and spoke bluntly.
Ling Mo, who had just been annoyed by Qin Beiming's words "I feel sorry for you," suddenly smiled and chuckled softly when he saw that Qin Beiming had made Xiao Yingying feel ashamed and indignant without lifting a finger.
Upon noticing the shallow dimples on her cheeks, Qin Beiming slowly curled the corners of his lips into a smile.
Realizing that she wasn't intimidated by this group of rigid, old-fashioned men, he slowly stood up from the sofa, made up an excuse, and strode out of the principal's office with Mr. Smith.
As he turned around, he expertly raised his well-defined knuckles and meticulously fastened the two buttons that had come undone.
"..."
Ling Mo witnessed Qin Beiming's series of bizarre actions and found himself increasingly unable to fathom his thoughts.
Does this man suffer from severe obsessive-compulsive disorder?
Otherwise, why would he keep obsessively working on the buttons on his shirt?
Or perhaps he simply wanted to show off his long, slender, jade-like hands.
Just as she was drifting off into thought, Cui Geng suddenly leaned forward and asked with a beaming smile:
"Ling Mo, what's your relationship with this new medical assistant, Xiao Qin? He seems quite concerned about you?"
"It's nothing."
"It has nothing to do with him. Why would he stand up for you? And why did he say he felt sorry for you being wronged?" Xiao Yingying didn't believe Ling Mo's words and only wanted to get information about Qin Beiming out of her.
"Perhaps you can consider him my uncle."
Ling Mo shrugged, too lazy to deal with Xiao Yingying's questioning.
She and Qin Beiming really didn't have any unusual relationship.
However, these people absolutely refused to believe it.
Since they don't want to believe it, let's just make up some nonsense they'll believe.
This way, everyone can save themselves trouble.
"Cough cough..."
Zhu Siliang coughed twice, fearing that these people would start gossiping about Qin Beiming again, so he quickly straightened his expression and said seriously:
"Teacher Xiao, quickly gather the top fifty students in the unified exam. Have them wait in the multimedia classroom on the first floor of the experimental building. This time, I will personally proctor the exam."
"I'll go right away."
Xiao Yingying glanced at Ling Mo smugly, then, like a butterfly, she swayed gracefully in her high heels and headed towards Class 3A.
