Han Fei narrowed his eyes, which were filled with a dangerous glint. Xiao Rou's school had taken the children to Africa without notifying the parents!
If a child is over 18 years old, has the ability to be independent, wants to be independent and does not want to tell their parents, then we can respect the child's idea. But Xiaorou is still a minor. How can the school go against the parents?
Secondly, Xiaorou didn't attend class; instead, the school arranged for her to go to Africa. Were those two bodyguards just sitting around doing nothing? Were they genuinely unaware and kept in the dark by Xiaorou, or was there some other reason? This matter must be thoroughly investigated.
He didn't want anyone around his child to have problems.
Han Fei rubbed his temples. He had thought he could rest for a few days after the new product launch, but it seemed that his old bones still couldn't stop.
Han Fei visited Elder Gu and immediately asked upon entering, "Are you aware of Xiao Rou and Gu Zhan's trip to Africa?"
"What?" Old Gu looked astonished. "He went to Africa?"
Seemingly remembering something, Old Gu slapped his thigh, whether from gritting his teeth in anger or from the pain of slapping his thigh too hard, he exclaimed: "So that's why this kid didn't come back until Saturday afternoon, and he's tanned like a black lump of coal! Turns out he went to Africa to mine without telling me, and lied to me that he went to the beach with his classmates and forgot to put on sunscreen!"
Old Master Gu clenched his fists: "When we get back, I'm going to teach him a lesson! He hasn't tasted the Gu family's secret recipe of bamboo shoots and roasted pork in far too long!"
Han Fei said with a kind expression, "I heard from Xiao Rou that they were once imprisoned and almost didn't make it back."
"What!" Old Gu slammed his fist on the table.
Han Fei said with a smile, "I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
"Old Han, wait a minute. Was this arranged by the school?"
"Xiao Rou said that the lovely principal specifically instructed us not to tell the parents." Han Fei emphasized the word "lovely".
Old Gu was silent for a moment: "His identity is somewhat special."
"Oh, she really does look very cute!"
Han Fei had some impression of him; they had met once when the youngest son failed the entrance exam.
This person looks like an old scholar, wearing round black-rimmed glasses, with thinning hair on top of his head. He has a simple and honest smile, but is very shrewd when he doesn't smile.
"Well, he must have his reasons for making such arrangements." Old Gu sat back down in his chair. "Thank you, Old Han. If you hadn't told me, that brat would have kept it from me for who knows how long!"
"I only found out by chance, and that little girl kept it from me."
"Xiao Rou seems so gentle and kind, how could she have the courage to go to Africa?"
"She's got some nerve!"
Han Fei rubbed his temples, looking quite troubled: "Ask your grandson properly. Those two have really made a name for themselves in Africa."
"What can they do in Africa? It's a mess there right now."
"You'll know if you ask. Anyway, it's been an eye-opening experience for me."
"Old Han, don't keep me in suspense, just tell me directly."
"That won't do. It'll be boring if you say it out loud. You should ask your precious grandson instead."
After Han Fei finished reporting the crime, he concealed his merit and fame and left with a smile.
The more Mr. Gu thought about it, the angrier he became, so he dialed the principal's number to question him.
The principal said respectfully, “This was Gu Zhan’s own choice. You should know better than I that some tasks cannot even be told to one’s spouse, which is why we did not notify his parents.”
"Don't try to show off in front of me! What mission? I have no idea they have a mission!"
"Let these future pillars of society see the suffering of other countries and the coldness and warmth of the world. It is nothing more than a training mission to broaden their horizons."
"Can you guarantee the children's absolute safety in Africa? If something happens to them, how will you explain it to the parents?"
"After thinking about it, I said that during a school field trip, the child accidentally fell off a cliff and was never found."
"You!" Old Master Gu was furious. "If anything happens to Gu Zhan, do you know what will happen to you?"
"What makes Gu Zhan different from the other students?"
Faced with the principal's question, Mr. Gu was momentarily speechless.
The principal's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone: "You sent your child to me, and you told me beforehand not to reveal the child's identity to anyone, and you also asked me to treat all children the same. Why can't you do that now?"
"Don't go too far!"
The principal said with a smile, "The child is still young, so going out to gain experience will only benefit him and will not do him any harm."
"Alright, senior, Han Rou and Gu Zhan are more famous in Africa than you are, so you don't need to worry about them. They are promising talents."
"As the principal, I don't think there's anything wrong with my teaching methods. I've always believed that education should be tailored to the individual, but most current teaching methods are based on overall planning, which is not appropriate."
“It’s my school, and I will manage it in my own way. If I think two children can go, then they definitely can.”
“I originally hoped to use their seemingly gentle and frail appearance to deceptively approach those African suffering groups, thereby building their affinity and prestige.”
"What I didn't expect was that the two of them used a different way to make me look up to them."
Old Gu frowned. Earlier, Old Han had said that the two children had done great things in Africa, and now the principal's words seemed to imply the same thing.
"What exactly did they do in Africa?"
"You don't need to worry about that. You just need to know that your grandson and classmate Han Rou donated 100 million to the school, and that's enough."
"What? That kid can actually come up with a hundred million?"
"The spoils of war," the principal chuckled. "I won't say more about the rest. Senior, a teacher is looking for me, I'll hang up now."
After hanging up the phone, Old Gu felt really awkward.
They're all keeping him in suspense!
They just won't tell you directly!
"Call my grandson over here," Old Master Gu said to his guards.
Gu Zhan immediately went to his grandfather's side: "Grandpa, did you need to see me urgently?"
Then, Old Gu took out a bamboo ruler from the drawer under the table.
Upon seeing the familiar bamboo ruler, Gu Zhan's skin tightened instinctively, and he took a small step back: "Grandpa, why did you take this out?"
Old Gu smiled meaningfully: "Some people haven't tasted Grandpa's signature dishes in a long time."
"Your signature dish?" Gu Zhan was puzzled. His grandfather could cook?
Old Gu smiled mysteriously: "Try it and you'll know if I'm good at it!"
The bamboo stick slammed down hard on Gu Zhan's buttocks.
Gu Zhan jumped up suddenly, rubbing his bottom: "Grandpa, why did you hit me all of a sudden!"
"Let me show you my bamboo shoot and pork roast. How does it taste?"
Gu Zhan covered his head and ran away: "Grandpa, we can talk this over!"
"You little brat, do you ever tell the truth? You've been to Africa, and you still lied to me and said you only went to the beach! You've really got some nerve!"
"Grandpa, how did you know I went to Africa?"
"The principal told me."
Actually, it was Han Fei who said it, but Old Master Gu still wanted to protect his old brother, so let's sell the principal!
Gu Zhan was furious: "He told me not to tell you, but then he turned around and told you himself! The principal is too cunning!"
