Having seen many people trying to get close to her, Zhao Yanyan gave a perfunctory "hmm".
"Is Principal Zhao home?" Old Xu asked.
Zhao Yanyan gave him a cold glance.
"Are you here to ask my dad for something?"
Zheng Huai nodded: "There is indeed something I need to talk to your dad about."
Zhao Yanyan sneered, "You came empty-handed to ask my father for a favor? That's incredibly rude!"
Old Xu was a man who couldn't tolerate any dissent, and he was about to teach this disrespectful junior a lesson when Zheng Huai quickly tugged at his arm.
He smiled kindly and said, "I came in a hurry and didn't bring a gift this time, but I'll make it up to you next time."

Zhao Yanyan gave a dismissive "tsk".
"Come in."
She casually pointed to the sofa: "Sit down."
After saying that, she neither poured tea nor offered water, but instead curled up in the most comfortable corner of the sofa to trim her nails.
Old Xu asked anxiously, "Where is Principal Zhao?"
Zhao Yanyan rolled her eyes and said, "What's your rush! My dad's writing in his study, he won't be out for at least an hour! He hates being disturbed while he's working, so just you wait!"
Old Xu got up to knock on the study door, but Zheng Huai stopped him.
"We're not in a hurry, let's just wait a bit longer."
Suppressing his anger, Old Xu sat back down on the sofa.
Zheng Huai asked Zhao Yanyan with a smile, "During holidays and festivals, there must be a lot of people asking your dad for favors, right?"

Zhao Yanyan raised her nose, her expression incredibly arrogant.
"What do you think? Who is my dad? If you ask me, you didn't even bother to find out what kind of temper he has before you came. He doesn't just meet with anyone! People like you who show no sincerity at all, my dad simply won't even bother with you!"
She had no idea that Zheng Huai was trying to trick her into revealing information.
Zheng Huai has been the Minister of Education for over ten years, and what he hates most is corruption among educators.
"So, does that mean people who come to your dad for favors have to bring expensive gifts to show they're sincere?"
Zhao Yanyan replied without hesitation, "Of course! People came to deliver ginseng, Southeast Asian coffee, tape recorders, and bicycles before the New Year!"
Old Xu said with a forced smile, "Ha, Principal Zhao is really quite imposing!"
Just then, Zhao Guangsheng's voice came from the study.
"Yan Yan, why is it so noisy outside? Who are you talking to?"
Zhao Yanyan curled her lip and said, "Two old men, they say they need you to do them a favor!"

Zhao Guangsheng shouted impatiently, "I don't have time! Tell them to go back!"
Zheng Huai sneered and said loudly, "Principal Zhao, this matter is of great importance and cannot be delayed. Please come out and meet me!"
Upon hearing the Minister of Education's voice, Zhao Guangsheng was so frightened that he wet himself.
