Chapter 745: Chapter 745: Please Go Back Chapter 745: Chapter 745: Please Go Back Bai Xiao said with a smile, “Vice Principal Zhao, didn’t you tell to pack my bags and leave? Here I am, ready to go. I can’t disrupt the overall situation of the school, nor can I affect your enjoynt of the pre-rain Longjing tea!” With that, she strode away.
It wasn’t that she was being unreasonably persistent upon seizing the right; she was simply irritated by the officials’ mutual protection.
And she wasn’t even an official.
Since it was so, she couldn’t bla herself for being persistent when she had the right on her side.
Vice Principal Zhao felt a slight disappointnt in his heart, but he maintained an indulgent smile on his face. He really had misjudged the situation this ti.
“Bai Xiao, look, isn’t this all a misunderstanding? Co on, let’s go to the office and talk it over. You should also try the pre-rain Longjing tea. I had to take a call earlier and wanted you to wait for the news with , but I may have spoken too casually, leading to this misunderstanding. Co on, as the Vice Principal, how could I stand by and watch our student be delayed like this? Academics are most important, academics are most important.”
The cunning and crafty Vice Principal Zhao had quickly thought of an excuse, creating a way out for himself.
Bai Xiao also realized that if she continued to hold her ground at this point, it would be too much. After all, these matters were not within her purview as a student, and she was only involved because of her uncle’s influence. Moreover, she still had a long ti to study at the school. If things got ugly from the start, causing a rift with the Vice Principal, even if he were to be dismissed, what benefit would it serve her?
“Alright, Vice Principal, I believe the school leaders will give a fair explanation.”
“Of course, certainly.”
Vice Principal Zhao finally managed to persuade her to co back. He was worried that so people would not give face, making things difficult to handle. If soone insisted on escalating the issue, the outco would likely be unpalatable for him.
Director Yu was their imdiate superior, holding sway over the funding approval and construction project approvals for the entire school, including the affiliated hospital. If he offended the director, especially with the impending shortfall for the construction funds for two dormitory buildings in their college, things could get tight with just a single tightening of the purse strings.
The entire college staff would probably curse him to no end.
Now, the priority was to ensure this little ancestor felt thoroughly satisfied and appeased. As long as Bai Xiao maintained her connections for at least two more years of advanced studies, or even after that, if they decided to give her two more years to consider staying on with the university, it wouldn’t be a problem.
This little ancestor represented a significant opportunity for them. Even Director Yu, who might not take into account the monk’s face but rather the Buddha’s, would likely be more lenient with them.
If the old Principal found out that he had let slip such an opportunity and offended her, he’d be kicking himself.
Upon entering the office, they found Teacher Li collapsed on the ground, with Liu Hongmin by his side trying to persuade him, “Teacher Li, please get up. What’s the aning of sitting on the floor like this?”
When Liu Hongmin caught sight of Bai Xiao following Vice Principal Zhao back, he imdiately left Teacher Li and greeted them cheerfully.
“Student, don’t be upset, don’t be upset. Let’s talk things over nicely; our Vice Principal will surely stand by your side. We can discuss this calmly. Co, both of you take a seat first, and I’ll pour you so tea.” At this mont, Liu Hongmin knew his status couldn’t match the Vice Principal’s, but that didn’t stop him from trying to curry favor delicately.
Vice Principal Zhao casually instructed, “Lao Liu, quickly brew that pre-rain Longjing tea and let Bai Xiao try it. Let’s see if it tastes good.” He smiled warmly, as soothing as a spring breeze, and gestured for Bai Xiao to sit down on the sofa.
“Don’t be shy; think of our school as your ho. I really enjoy interacting with students and hearing what’s on your minds.”
These words almost made Liu Hongmin laugh out loud; old Zhao sure knew how to sweet-talk.
