Chapter 1240 Recognizing Gu Ning
After Gu Ning and Zhang Qiuhua sat down, Teacher Yan immediately poured them tea. If they were just ordinary people, Teacher Yan would definitely not fail to do so.
"I also understand what happened, but we will deal with it after the other parent arrives," said Director Yang.
Director Yang is neither good nor bad. How can I describe him? When faced with power, he would definitely choose power. However, when faced with people of equal status, he would treat them fairly.
Most people are afraid of power, because if you uphold justice, you will offend the powerful, and then you will be the one who suffers.
If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.
This is how society works: when ordinary people come into conflict with powerful people, nine out of ten times they get nothing out of it.
Unless you find the right person to handle the matter.
"Okay," Zhang Qiuhua responded, knowing that the other party's parents were not there, so it would be useless to say more.
While waiting for the other parents to arrive, Director Yang's eyes always fell on Gu Ning intentionally or unintentionally, with inquiry. He always felt that Gu Ning looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
In fact, Gu Ning is already extremely famous in City F. The TV stations have been reporting extensively on Gu Ning recently, as have some online platforms in City F. So it was not surprising that Director Yang found him familiar.
Gu Ning naturally noticed Director Yang's gaze on her intentionally or unintentionally, and knew that he was probing her, but since he didn't say anything, Gu Ning didn't point it out.
After exploring for a while, Director Yang couldn't help but speak out: "Miss Gu, I'm sorry to ask, what is your full name and what do you do? Don't get me wrong, I have no ill intentions, I just think Miss Gu looks familiar."
With the word "familiar face", Gu Ning almost understood.
Gu Ning smiled and said, "My name is Gu Ning, and I'm a senior student at the Third High School. This is my homeroom teacher."
"Gu Ning? A senior student at the Third High School?" Upon hearing this, Director Yang suddenly realized the answer and immediately got the correct answer. He immediately became excited, but still asked uncertainly, "Could it be that you are the winner of the National High School Mathematics Competition?"
Gu Ning's victory was widely reported in F City, because it was not only an honor for the Third High School, but also an honor for F City. This was because Gu Ning's way of winning was too special, winning with full marks, which was unprecedented!
Director Yang not only saw the TV report, but also when he went to the Education Bureau for a meeting, the leader specifically mentioned this matter.
Not only did he talk about this, he also talked about some things about Gu Ning. Gu Ning was not only a top student with perfect scores in every subject, but also a business genius. At a young age, he founded "Jade Beauty Jewelry". Although it is just a jewelry store, the net worth of this jewelry store is said to be several hundred million! Moreover, when the "Jade Beauty Jewelry" store opened, almost half of the big shots in G City came.
The leader also said that Gu Ning also attended the birthday party of the Su family's daughter and knew many high-ranking officials in City F, and they were all very polite to Gu Ning.
The most important thing is that Gu Ning saved the life of the Su family's daughter and is the Su family's savior.
Because the leaders of the Education Bureau attended the banquet, they knew all about this.
Although Director Yang didn't know everything, just this much was enough to shock people and make him look up to and fear him.
Teacher Yan and Teacher Wang were also surprised when they heard this. It turned out that she was Gu Ning, the one who won the National High School Mathematics Competition with a perfect score.
However, Teacher Yan and Teacher Wang only knew about this matter, and they didn't know anything else about Gu Ning. If they knew, it wouldn't just be a surprise, it would be a shock.
"Yes, I am that Gu Ning." Gu Ning responded, neither arrogant nor impatient, as if this matter was as normal as an everyday occurrence for her.
But it's true, for Gu Ning, this is just a daily routine.
After receiving Gu Ning's affirmation, Director Yang stood up suddenly and walked towards Gu Ning: "Miss Gu, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you. I heard some things about you. You are amazing! Very admirable!"
Director Yang's attitude was clearly respectful, because the person standing in front of him was not just a student, but also a big shot with status.
Seeing Director Yang's attitude, Teacher Yan and Teacher Wang were both surprised. It was obvious that Director Yang knew about Gu Ning's background.
The person who can make Director Yang so respectful must be from a very important background.
Even though they were curious, it was not the right time to ask.
Gu Ning also stood up, because the other party was standing and talking to her, if she sat down, it would be too uncivilized: "Director Yang, you are too polite, thank you for the compliment."
"Ms. Gu, please sit down, please sit down." Director Yang saw Gu Ning stand up and immediately asked her to sit down.
After hearing that, Gu Ning sat down.
Then, the two continued chatting, and before they knew it, it was almost nine o'clock.
Although the appointment was for nine o'clock, the other party was too punctual and arrived two minutes before nine o'clock.
There is nothing wrong with this, but it gives people a bad feeling.
The man who came was a middle-aged man in his early 40s, with an arrogant and domineering attitude. Following the man was a girl about 15 years old. This girl was the one who beat Tao Jiayi, and the man was the girl's father.
When the man came in, Director Yang also stood up to greet him and said politely, "Director Xiao, you are here. Please take a seat."
Although Director Yang's attitude towards Mr. Xiao was polite, there was still a clear gap compared to Gu Ning, and it was very obvious.
Seeing this attitude, Teacher Yan and Teacher Wang knew that Gu Ning's background was much higher than that of Director Xiao.
Mr. Xiao, whose real name is Xiao Mingshan, is the chairman of a large company and has a net worth of over 100 million.
In F City, those with a net worth of over 100 million yuan were not high in status, but above average. Moreover, Xiao Mingshan's brother-in-law was a mid-level government official, so at the beginning, Teacher Yan was so biased towards them.
If Gu Ning and the others were just ordinary people, or had very different backgrounds from Xiao Mingshan, Director Yang would naturally stand on Xiao Mingshan's side, regardless of who was right or wrong. However, after knowing Gu Ning's identity, he did not dare to be biased towards Xiao Mingshan in the slightest.
Besides, it was Xiao Mingshan’s daughter who was wrong in this matter!
"Director Yang," Xiao Mingshan also responded to Director Yang's greeting, but did not sit down immediately. Instead, he looked at Gu Ning and Zhang Qiuhua who were sitting on the sofa.
Because when I received a call from Teacher Wang yesterday, the other party told me that the girl who was seeking justice for Tao Jiayi seemed to be from an unfamiliar background, so I wanted to see who the other party was first.
