Huo Mingshan said he would handle the matter, so after sending Pu Sangzhi back to Rui’an early in the morning, he imdiately began to strategize how to deal with it.
Having sent Pu Sangzhi off, the next step was to inform the debt collectors that Pu Sangzhi had already processed her leave of absence from school and would not be attending as of this week.
Because he had communicated with Principal Han.
In order to protect the school’s reputation, Huo Mingshan would also quietly spread the news throughout the campus.
He wanted every student to know that Pu Sangzhi was no longer attending the school, so that with a unified ssage, such information could spread outside the school and preserve its reputation.
Therefore, on Monday afternoon, after the last class of the day, every class from the first to the third year in high school was detained by their horoom teachers for a brief eting.
The horoom teachers relayed the situation regarding Pu Sangzhi and the school’s approach to handling it to the entire class, ensuring everyone knew she had been given leave of absence by the school.
Moreover, the school made it a point to let all the students know that Pu Sangzhi might also be transferred to another school and likely would not have the chance to return.
The main reason the school wanted the students to know the outco was to encourage them to spread the word. Selfishly speaking, it was also to let the debt collectors know that Pu Sangzhi would no longer be returning to school, so they might give up on troubling the school further.
Thus...
The entire student body beca aware of the matter.
This was the first step in dealing with the issue.
According to Huo Mingshan’s plan, the second step should be to directly notify those debt collectors.
Although Huo Mingshan had readily agreed in front of the principal, saying he would personally handle the situation with the debt collectors,
when it ca to this step, Huo Mingshan felt sowhat apprehensive.
So, after much deliberation, Huo Mingshan passed this critical step onto the security personnel at the school gate.
He specifically sought out the security guards and instructed them, "If any of those debt collectors show up at the school gate, if they start making trouble, seize the opportunity to tell them about Sangzhi’s transfer. As of this week, Sangzhi is no longer at our school, so tell them to stop fixating on the school and to look elsewhere."
The security staff took Huo Mingshan’s instructions and promptly agreed, "Alright, no problem."
So, that step was settled as well.
The debt collection gangs nearby Huo Mingshan were bound to have other tactics and would surely strike while the iron was hot in the following days.
Therefore, the ssage must be passed to those people at the fastest speed.
In this way, resolving the matter would be the most proper outco!
...
News of Pu Sangzhi’s leave of absence and transfer spread through the campus like wildfire!
Instantly, so people were happy, others were angry...
So classes were brimming with joy, spouting cold remarks.
So classes were filled with gloom, feeling sorrow for her.
Perhaps the entire student body did not realize that the one who showed the most significant variance in emotion was from the Han Family...
Especially the mont the news had spread throughout the campus, a pair of siblings from the Han Family were completely stirred up!
The ssage spread across the entire school after the eting that followed the third class in the afternoon.
So, around 5:00 PM, after the class etings had ended, a figure overflowing with joy dashed out of the senior high school buildings!
It was Han Feiyi!
Han Feiyi ran with carefree glee; her canvas shoes hit the concrete as if she were stepping on clouds, giving her a feeling of lightness and buoyancy as if she were fluttering amongst them!
Han Feiyi was truly overjoyed! She was so thrilled that throughout her run, her face was illuminated by an indelible smile, her lips stretched to her ears!
For the first ti in Han Feiyi’s life, she felt the joy of a victorious battle!
It was as if heaven and earth were conspiring in her favor today, as if the heavens themselves were aiding her!
Originally, Han Feiyi thought that she would always lose to Sangzhi, that she was dood to be suppressed by Pu Sangzhi throughout high school...
But, unexpectedly, there was such turmoil in Pu Sangzhi’s family! The sudden disaster that befell Pu Sangzhi’s household left her unable to rise, and Han Feiyi thanked heaven and God for delivering such a powerful blow that helped her defeat Pu Sangzhi!
At this mont, Han Feiyi was running exuberantly toward the administration building!
She was preparing to find Principal Han, who was also her father!
She intended to confirm the news and to inquire about the details of Pu Sangzhi’s family situation, to learn of Pu Sangzhi’s lowly background!
For, as a ruler who had unexpectedly won a battle, one always harbors a strong curiosity toward the loser, eager to know why they lost and where they failed.
Han Feiyi just wanted to seek pleasure, satisfaction, and pride through these aspects!
In a short sprint...
It took her only a few minutes, and she arrived happily at the doorstep of the principal’s office. She pushed the door open and entered, "Dad! I need to talk to you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Han Feiyi’s suspicious gaze fell upon Huo Mingshan, who was also in the principal’s office...
She stared at Huo Mingshan for a while, her eyes swiftly shifting as she quickly figured out the reason for Huo Mingshan’s presence here.
This kid liked Pu Sangzhi, it seed that he was here for Pu Sangzhi’s sake!
Han Feiyi imdiately closed the door behind her, stepping forward, "What are you doing here? Don’t tell you’re also here for Pu Sangzhi’s matter? Even faster than , huh!"
Compared to Han Feiyi’s relaxed and cheerful face, the expression on Huo Mingshan’s face, in the sa office, was extrely serious!
Little did she know that the atmosphere in the principal’s office was quite heavy before Han Feiyi arrived...
Because Huo Mingshan, who had received the sa news, had co to denounce Han Guobang!
"What’s going on? One Pu Sangzhi has brought both of you siblings to ?"
Han Guobang could not see through this, his surprised gaze resting on his two children, "Feiyi, what have you co to say?"
"Dad!"
Han Feiyi stepped forward, pulled over a stool, and sat down naturally opposite Han Guobang, "Dad, is it true that Pu Sangzhi is transferring? She won’t appear in our school anymore, right? When did she leave? Yesterday? Today?"
Han Feiyi’s tone was light and cheerful, clearly there to pry into other people’s affairs, with no sign of pity for the situation.
Huo Mingshan couldn’t stand Han Feiyi’s tone and frowned as he reproached her, "Han Feiyi, what do you an by asking that? Are you kicking soone when they’re down? Are you that happy she’s gone?"
"I am happy!"
Han Feiyi replied unapologetically, "What do I have to be unhappy about? What does her leaving have to do with ? I’m not her friend, there’s no reason for to be sad for her!"
"Even if you don’t feel sorry for her, you shouldn’t take advantage of her misfortune to kick her when she’s down!"
Huo Mingshan’s hands pressed on the desk as he glared reproachfully at Han Feiyi, "Dad and I are both regretting her departure, being classmates, how can you show such an attitude!"
"Hey!"
Han Feiyi slamd her hand on the table, glaring at Huo Mingshan with widened eyes, "Don’t start arguing with , I’m in a good mood today and I don’t want to fight with you! I just ca to ask Dad, what’s the deal with Pu Sangzhi’s family? Where can she transfer to with her family’s situation? Surely she could not go to a good school, right? Worse than ours?"
"Han Feiyi! What are you saying! Are you even human!" Huo Mingshan was imdiately angered by Han Feiyi’s attitude.
As the siblings were about to start their quarrel, Han Guobang also slapped the table, interjecting, "Enough! It’s just Pu Sangzhi, what’s there to argue about!"
"Dad, I’m not arguing with him."
Han Feiyi waved her hands, disregarding Huo Mingshan, and turned to Han Guobang, "Just tell , how much debt does Pu Sangzhi’s family owe? Are they that poor? Ah, where is she transferring to then? I suppose, with her family’s situation, not even Ruizhong No. 3 Middle School would want her, right?"
"Put away your eagerness for gossip!"
Han Guobang also disliked Han Feiyi’s gloating attitude, raising a finger to point at her, "I’m not afraid to tell you, Pu Sangzhi’s elders had a listed company in Shanghai, she grew up as a young lady of a wealthy household, and was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. After the company went bankrupt, and they incurred debts, she fell from grace to this state. She’s a phoenix that has fallen to the ground, lost her splendor in an instant, you have no right to look down on her!"
"Oh..."
Han Feiyi pursed her lips, "Go on, where will she transfer to? Dad, you didn’t go out of your way to use your connections to facilitate her transfer because she’s a down-and-out rich girl, did you? There was no need for that!"
"Dad, no matter what, it’s the older generation’s matter; you should have just let her take a temporary leave from school instead of forcing her to transfer," Huo Mingshan couldn’t help but interject, his brows furrowed tightly, his mood terrible compared to Han Feiyi’s light-heartedness.
"Why take a leave? She should transfer after tarnishing our school’s reputation!"
Han Feiyi retorted to Huo Mingshan, "Such a troubleso person, a hot potato like that should be thrown out early! Let those debt collectors bother another school, our school needs peace and quiet!"
Huo Mingshan roared at Han Feiyi, "You still say such selfish things, it’s disgusting!"
"Huo Mingshan! Why are you yelling at ?"
Han Feiyi pointed a finger at Huo Mingshan in response, "Even if she stayed at the school, she wouldn’t beco your girlfriend, okay! She’s out of your league!"
"Enough, both of you shut it!"
Han Guobang couldn’t take it anymore, banging his hand on the desk to stop them, "Pu Sangzhi’s matter is only a temporary solution! I didn’t make her transfer, just temporarily suspend her! Once this blows over, she’s coming back! With just this matter, what’s there for the two of you to argue about?"
Huo Mingshan’s face brightened at the news, "She can co back?"
Han Feiyi, however, frowned at the news, "Why can she co back?"
Almost the sa sentence...
Coming out of two people’s mouths, it beca two completely different anings...
