Chapter 258 Rejection
Yuan Xiao went to the Academy of Fine Arts as scheduled the next morning.
She would start school tomorrow, and it would be great if she could get things done today.
But as soon as she arrived at the school, she noticed something strange.
Many people were looking at her with probing eyes, and some were more straightforward, with contempt written on their faces.
She didn't care too much, nothing was more important than what she was going to do later.
She went straight to the principal's office.
Principal Lin had just arrived and poured her a glass of water, "You're early, Minister Xu will be here later."
Yuan Xiao smiled and nodded, "It's okay, I can wait."
But what Yuan Xiao didn't expect was that she didn't wait for Minister Xu here, but instead waited for Principal Lin's assistant to rush in.
"Principal, Minister Xu... went back first."
Principal Lin raised his head, "What's the matter?"
When he saw the plan yesterday, he was obviously very interested.
The assistant glanced at Yuan Xiao and spoke awkwardly: "Minister Xu said that we should deal with the school's affairs first, and then consider other things."
Principal Lin was even more confused and put down the pen in his hand, "What's going on in our school?"
Yuan Xiao was not sensitive, but his eyes were too straightforward, and it was clear that he was related.
"Someone wrote a report on the bulletin board, saying that it was reporting Yuan Xiao!"
The report was not submitted directly to the school, and it was obvious that there was a bad intention.
It was specially posted on the bulletin board, and the purpose was self-evident.
Once a reputation is tainted, it is not easy to wash it clean.
Although the atmosphere is much better now, it is not a glorious thing to be reported.
Yuan Xiao did not go out to see it immediately, but asked: "What is written?"
The assistant hesitated for a moment, took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket and put it on the principal's desk.
Yuan Xiao did not go up to see it, but just watching the principal's face getting darker and darker, he knew what was written on it.
It was nothing more than the dirty things that came out of Teacher Duan's mouth yesterday.
Yuan Xiao was still calm and told the principal what happened in the office yesterday.
Principal Lin's face was gloomy, "You mean, this was done by Teacher Duan?"
Yuan Xiao shook his head, "I can't say."
Maybe he wanted to burn himself to death out of revenge.
But there were many people in the office yesterday, and there were students coming and going outside, so they were not completely without suspicion.
"This matter is not good for your reputation, so it's better to make a big deal out of a small matter." Principal Lin said with a headache.
Yuan Xiao curled her lips. She was not a punching bag. She could make light of such a thing.
"Don't suppress it. Let it ferment slowly. I want to find out who did it and let him know the consequences of destroying military marriage!"
Yuan Xiao stood up, pointed at the paper in Principal Lin's hand, and said, "Can I take this away?"
Principal Lin handed it to her.
Yuan Xiao spread her hands, "Give me a bag. I want to send it to the Public Security Bureau for testing. The other party posted a report, and fingerprints should be left on it."
Principal Lin was shocked. He felt that Yuan Xiao was very careful. It seemed that she was serious.
Yuan Xiao took the letter and left the principal's office. Along the way, he received countless strange looks. They almost cursed at him.
Yuan Xiao walked to Teacher Qin's office, where a group of students were crowded, seemingly denouncing something.
When they saw Yuan Xiao coming in, they quieted down instead.
Yuan Xiao raised her eyebrows, "Is there anything I can't listen to?"
Teacher Qin pinched her temples, looking helpless: "Nothing, it's just that these students said they don't want to sell the drawings to you."
Yuan Xiao laughed, "We made it clear when we bought the drawings before, it was a one-time sale, and those copyrights no longer belong to you."
The male student in the lead looked sarcastic: "We are not talking about the previous ones, but yesterday's, and in the future, we will not sell them to you!"
Yuan Xiao didn't say anything and directly agreed: "Please help me count which students are there, Teacher Qin, and I will ask someone to return the drawings later."
After that, she walked to Teacher Duan and looked down at him.
Teacher Duan seemed very flustered, with cold sweat on his forehead.
Before Yuan Xiao even opened his mouth, he hastily denied: "I didn't do this. You told me yesterday that destroying a military marriage is a crime!"
Yuan Xiao chuckled, "I just came to ask what Teacher Duan is so nervous about. It's not your fault, but I'm going to report it to the police. Whether it was done by a student or a teacher, think carefully about whether it's worth it!"
The leading boy took a step back, feeling a little guilty.
But when he saw the admiring eyes of the girl next to him, he mustered up his courage again: "This is the fact. Do you think you can wash it clean by reporting it to the police? When I think about the fact that I actually sold you a painting, I feel extremely disgusted!"
"The fact, did you see it?" Yuan Xiao took a step forward.
The boy held his head high, "You stayed in the principal's office for a long time yesterday, and many people saw it!"
Teacher Qin slammed the table heavily, and her palms were numb from the shock. She just looked at these students fiercely, "You are all students, don't you have any judgment? Zhang Ruixian, you said you saw it with your own eyes, but did you see that I was there too! Yesterday, I personally accompanied Yuan Xiao to see the principal. Did I have an affair with the principal? And, do you know what Yuan Xiao and the principal talked about..." "
Teacher Qin," Yuan Xiao interrupted her, "Let's register first, I will have someone send the drawings back later."
Teacher Qin barely regained her sanity and picked up a notebook at random, "You all, write your names on it."
Zhang Ruixian was the one who took the lead in returning the drawings, so naturally he went ahead.
But the other students were already wavering in their hearts.
If they really quit, they would have no income in the future.
Yuan Xiao's remuneration was not small, and they could earn some pocket money for themselves, which made them very happy. The more they
thought about it, the more they regretted it.
"How about... we won't quit."
"Yes, we've already finished the painting."
"Teacher, we won't quit." Teacher
Qin was a man of his word, and there was no way they would regret it. "No one is allowed to leave. If you say you want to quit, you must quit. There is no way you can get away with it!"
Just like that, Teacher Qin wrote down the names of all the students present, a total of 23 people.
She put away the list, "We will find out the truth about this matter, but remember, everyone is responsible for their own choices. After the truth is found out, every student headed by Zhang Ruixian will be punished, and I will report this matter to the principal personally."
For a while, Zhang Ruixian was hated by the students present.
It would be fine if he wanted to be the first to speak out, but why did he bring them along?
