Chapter 224: If you can’t keep calm, you’ll never achieve great things
As the principal finished speaking, Lu Xia opened his eyes wide, as if he couldn't believe that this would happen.
Father Lu was also stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, he frowned and said, "Why do you want to disqualify my daughter from the national competition? She didn't do anything wrong!"
The principal sneered, "Everyone knows why Lu Xia was disqualified. If I really want to investigate the matter of the competition materials, do you think it's as simple as just disqualifying your daughter?"
Putting aside the fact that Lu Xia is a rising star in the entertainment industry and cannot have any black spots reported on her, if the issue of the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles leaking competition information privately were to be exposed, I'm afraid even the State Education Commission would have to step in to rectify the situation.
Father Lu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"I accept this punishment." Before Lu's father could say anything, Lu Xia, who was standing beside him, responded.
Although she felt unhappy, this result was the best for her at the moment. Even if she continued to participate in the national competition, she would still be at the bottom. Why would she waste time on it?
Father Lu glanced at his daughter and said nothing more.
Wei Mingzhe standing next to him laughed at himself, fearing that he would never be able to raise his head in front of the principal again.

After leaving the office, Lu Xia saw Lu's father off from the school.
"Why haven't you ever mentioned Huo Yao's grades to Dad for all this time?" Father Lu asked solemnly as he walked out.
Lu Xia squeezed her hands and whispered, "I'm not familiar with her."
Father Lu paused and turned his head expressionlessly, "Do you really think I'm stupid?"
Things have come to this point. If he cannot see the reason behind it, he has lived these decades in vain.
Lu Xia met Father Lu's gloomy eyes, and her face turned pale instantly, "I..."
"If you are so impatient, you will never achieve anything great in the future." Father Lu said coldly and left.
Is it difficult for her to achieve great things?
Lu Xia looked at his father's receding back, the corners of his lips twitching slightly.
If Lu Ziming hadn't secretly sent the information to Huo Yao, how could this have happened?

At noon, Huo Yao went to the principal's office.
"Are you sure you want to keep looking so guilty?" Huo Yao sat on the chair, looking at the principal with a helpless look.
The other party has been doing this for exactly five minutes.
The principal coughed and finally spoke: "I was the one who recruited you into No. 1 Middle School, but I didn't expect that you would be slandered and questioned repeatedly."
Huo Yao raised his eyebrows and casually placed his hands on the armrests of the chair. "Excellent people always make others jealous. You don't have to blame yourself."
Hearing this, the principal's lips twitched, and he was silent for a moment, then sighed: "I didn't expect that you have some connection with the Lu family."
He did not mention anything about the Lu family's adopted daughter.
Huo Yao pursed his lips, looking somewhat nonchalant, and said, "My last name is Huo now."
In one word, he severed all ties with the Lu family.
"No matter what, you have been wronged this time." The principal said with a wry smile.
The Lu family started out as nouveau riche and have built up their business to the current Lu Enterprise, successfully becoming one of the city's wealthy families. It's obvious that they have good connections, so the matter of the competition information was easily revealed this time.
Although the principal wanted to vent his anger for Huo Yao, it involved the Literary Association. If he continued to hold on to it, it would not be good for Huo Yao. After all, the Huo family is just an ordinary family. How can they fight against those powerful families without any power?
He didn't want to see such a good seedling being suppressed and destroyed by those people above.
After weighing the pros and cons, you have to compromise even if you don't want to.
