Chapter 124 Bribery

The news that Yuan Xiao was going to take the college entrance exam seemed to have no impact, but it actually cast a bomb in the school.

The students of No. 3 Middle School spontaneously followed Yuan Xiao as their leader, and they also felt proud that Yuan Xiao was taking the college entrance exam.

But other schools may not be so happy.

Especially Principal Chen.

Yuan Xiao was a little impatient. This was the nth time that Principal Chen had come to her.

The first two times were to invite her to No. 1 Middle School, but she refused.

"Principal Chen, I have something else to do. If you have something to say, just say it."

Yuan Xiao's eyes fell on the things on the table. He knew how to behave. Every time he came, he brought a bunch of gifts, for fear that others would not know that he was here to make connections.

Principal Chen patted the things on the table, "You must have worked hard studying, these things are for you."

Yuan Xiao asked sarcastically, "You think I can't afford it?"

Principal Chen coughed twice, "Being able to afford it is one thing, and me giving it to you is another."

"The college entrance examination will be in two days, you don't still want me to transfer to No. 1 Middle School?"

Principal Chen smiled, "Of course not, but it is also related to the college entrance examination. Yuan Xiao, I want to ask you to withdraw from this year's college entrance examination."

Yuan Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at him, with suspicion flashing in his eyes, "Why?"

"Since you asked, I'm not afraid to tell you directly. This is the first college entrance examination in ten years, and No. 1 Middle School needs to achieve results in this college entrance examination."

His reason is the same as what Teacher Cai said.

Yuan Xiao found it funny in his heart. He is from No. 3 Middle School. How could he have the nerve to do such a thing?

"No. 1 Middle School wants to achieve results, and it seems to have nothing to do with whether I take the college entrance examination or not?"

"If you are not the first in the county, then of course it doesn't matter."

Speaking of this, Principal Chen felt tired.

In the first joint examination, the second in the county was from No. 1 Middle School, but the total score was several points lower than Yuan Xiao.

Another joint examination was held in November, and Yuan Xiao was still the first, and No. 1 Middle School was still the second.

Not only that, the number of students from No. 3 Middle School who entered the top 200 in the county was more than that from No. 1 Middle School!

He felt a sense of crisis.

Fortunately, he heard that Yuan Xiao would not take the college entrance examination this year, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

But Yuan Xiao's words "I will take the exam" made his heart hang in his throat.

They may not be able to compare with No. 3 Middle School in terms of quantity, but the number one in the county must be from No. 1 Middle School!

"Principal Chen, what makes you think I would harm the interests of my alma mater for No. 1 Middle School?" Yuan Xiao's eyes were filled with sarcasm.

Principal Chen's expression was slightly cold, "You only took a semester at No. 3 Middle School. How deep can your friendship with this alma mater be? I heard that No. 3 Middle School promised you a bonus of 2,000 yuan. If you don't take the college entrance examination, I can give you 5,000 yuan!"

After saying this, his heart seemed to bleed.

5,000 yuan, that's the limit that No. 1 Middle School can take out!

"Principal Chen, take the things back."

"Yuan Xiao, some people can't even earn 5,000 yuan in a lifetime of work! You have to think about it!"

Yuan Xiao made a "please" gesture.

Principal Chen looked calm on the surface, but he was actually furious.

He stood up, his expression solemn, "Do you think five thousand is too little?"

"Don't even mention five thousand, I won't take it even if you give me fifty thousand."

Principal Chen picked up the things on the table, and the veins on the back of his hand were prominent.

"Think about it carefully, if you don't accept the toast, you will be fined!"

Yuan Xiao held his chin and took a sip of tea leisurely, "Then I'll wait for your fine."

Looking at Principal Chen's angry back, Yuan Xiao couldn't help shaking her head.

She was actually a little glad that she didn't go to No. 1 Middle School.

Is such a profit-first principal really good to students?

"Mom, I'm going to the store."

Yuan Xiao took the black hair pills he made before and walked out.

Before leaving the alley, he saw Gu Lanting getting out of the car.

The figure was tall, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, and the breath was cold.

But the moment he saw Yuan Xiao, his eyes seemed to be filled with tears, and his whole body softened.

"Didn't you go back to the capital?" Yuan Xiao thought he would not be back before the New Year.

Gu Lanting took a bag from the car and took out a gift box from it as he walked.

"I just bought it, see if you like it."

Yuan Xiao opened the box, and inside was a thin platinum bracelet with a lucky bead in the middle.

Gu Lanting picked up the bracelet and took it out, and the thin chain seemed even smaller in his palm.

"I heard that the beads are engraved with Sanskrit, which means good luck. I think the meaning is good, so I bought it."

Yuan Xiao's hands are slender and white, and they look good with any kind of chain.

Gu Lanting rubbed her little hand with satisfaction, and felt that it was just as soft and elegant as he imagined.

Yuan Xiao touched the chain on his hand and smiled with the corners of his lips curled: "I also bought you a watch before, wear it to me next time."

The two walked to the department store, and Yuan Xiao talked to him about the college entrance examination.

Gu Lanting was naturally very surprised. When Yuan Xiao went to college, he would be transferred back to the capital.

As he said, Gu Lanting took out another letter from his pocket.

"I have convinced my mother. This is her apology letter to you."

Yuan Xiao was a little surprised. Apology?

She looked at Gu Lanting suspiciously, "You didn't write this to fool me, did you?"

She didn't know his mother, but she had read the letter sent by Bai Hua over and over again.

There was not a single word of respect.

She subconsciously thought that Bai Hua should be a stronger woman.

Gu Lanting touched her hair with amusement, "Don't talk nonsense. If you don't believe me, you can go back and compare the handwriting."

Yuan Xiao immediately opened the letter to read.

The content was very simple, basically apologizing to her for the last incident and inviting her to visit the capital.

It was neither cold nor indifferent, and there was not much apology.

But according to what Gu Lanting said, it was actually very difficult to soften his mother's attitude.

Yuan Xiao put the letter away, and she didn't believe her apology in her heart.

But she didn't say anything. Since everyone was willing to maintain superficial peace, why didn't she cooperate?

Yuan Xiao handed the bag of black hair pills to the shop girl and asked her to put them on the shelf.

"Young boss, will this really make your hair darker after taking it?"

The little sister was actually a few years older than Yuan Xiao, so she added the word "young" in front of the boss.

"Would you like to try it?" Yuan Xiao smiled.

The little sister's head shook like a rattle, "I can't afford it!"

There are only seven pills in a box, which is a week's supply.

But one box costs thirty yuan!

My goodness, this is too expensive!

"Just sell it and pay attention to the feedback from customers. If it's good, I'll deliver it to the capital."

"Okay! Don't worry!"

Yuan Xiao and Gu Lanting left the department store and heard the single dog sound an alarm: "The divine eye has detected someone breaking into the house, alarm! Alarm!"
