Chapter 1067: Chapter 1023: I Bought the School Chapter 1067: Chapter 1023: I Bought the School Dong Wan’s expression darkened, and although sowhat displeased, her family upbringing still compelled her to endure. Looking at the teacher nad Wu De before her, she knew that he must have a certain background; otherwise, a regular teacher would never dare to be so arrogantly presumptuous.
However, Dong Wan thought to herself that the leaders of the West Australia School should surely understand the situation better. After a mont’s thought, she said, “We can’t reason with soone like you. I think it’d be best to call over the leaders of your school. After all, the decision to expel a student isn’t up to a re employee like you to make.”
At ho, Dong Wan may not have held the official status, but generally, she was the de facto leader among the three girls. An Na and Li Lixue naturally ceded this space to her.
An Na did so out of guilt; with a similar family background, both being daughters of the heavens, it was hard to believe that Dong Wan would prefer to be a junior wife if it wasn’t for her deep love for a man.
As for Li Lixue, it was a matter of knowing when to choose her battles. Among the three girls, it was never going to be her place—soone with strong Western characteristics—to take charge. Smartly, Li Lixue’s stepping back actually resulted in a harmonious relationship with both Dong Wan and An Na.
Dong Wan’s words seed to enrage Wu De, who interpreted them as a blatant insinuation that he lacked authority and position. Sowhat angrily, he stood up and said with a stern voice, “Fine, fine, it seems you won’t be convinced until you’re pushed to the brink. Well, let tell you, I do have the authority to expel a few students here at the West Australia School.”
With that, Wu De pulled out his phone in front of the three won and dialed a number. As soon as the call connected, he said, “Boss Tan, I’m Wu De. I’ve expelled three students over here, and now their parents have co demanding to see you. I think it’s best if you co over.”
Wu De indeed had soone to rely on, speaking to the principal with such bravado. Soon, in less than five minutes, the door to the office was pushed open from outside. Two people walked in.
The man leading was about in his forties. As he entered the office and surveyed those present, his gaze rested on Dong Wan and An Na and, with a smile, he said, “You three must be the students’ parents. I am the principal of the West Australia School, and my surna is Tan. This person beside is Vice Principal Huang of our school.”
Dong Wan nodded, acknowledge their presence, and said, “Principal Tan, Vice Principal Huang, we are the parents of Nie Wenwen, Nie Panpan, and Dong Zhiping. Could I ask why your school has chosen to expel them without any good reason? Is it because they weren’t willing to pay the high tuition fees for tutoring, or is this tutoring class a mandatory requirent set by your school?”
At Dong Wan’s words, Principal Tan and Vice Principal Huang’s faces changed. Principal Tan glanced at Wu De and cursed inwardly. Without doubt, this sumr tutoring and its high fee were sches concocted by Wu De for his own personal gain.
The West Australia School, an elite private school aligned with international standards, was known for its Westernized teaching thods and relaxed learning environnt.
If there were really tutoring sessions being held, wouldn’t that be no different from most dostic schools?
Just as he was about to respond, Wu De interjected, “Principal Tan, you should know that just now, these three children brazenly assaulted a teacher. Such disrespect… They aren’t ordinary students anymore. In my opinion, we should expel them imdiately to protect the purity of the school community and the reputation of the West Australia School. Otherwise, if we start accepting anyone and everyone, the collapse of our school would be inevitable.”
Tan’s and Huang’s expressions changed at Wu De’s words. Although the West Australia School was jointly invested in by several Hongjiang Province businessn, as principal and school leadership, they were fully entrusted with managent. The administration and operation of the school were entirely in their hands.
They couldn’t ignore Wu De’s words because his brother-in-law was a powerful figure in the supervisory departnt. Given the nature of the educational industry, angering the head of the Education Bureau was certainly not the wise thing to do.
There was an unmistakable warning in the words Wu De had just spoken.
After a mont of contemplation, Principal Tan and Vice Principal Huang looked at each other. This wasn’t the first ti Wu De had done sothing like this; there had been past incidents of expelling students, though not as severe as now. No wonder Wu De was so furious today.
Thinking this, Vice Principal Huang’s brow furrowed, and he said to the three parents, “Assaults? Even against a teacher? Such behavior is unacceptable. Parents, this puts us in a very difficult position…”
Before Vice Principal Huang could finish, Dong Wan interrupted with a wave of her hand, “Principal Tan, does Vice Principal Huang speak for the school?”
Dong Wan’s presence was commanding, putting considerable pressure on those around her. This made Principal Tan feel the weight of the situation. After so thought, he still braced himself and said, “I suggest you all contact the school. Since the sumr vacation has started, finding another school should be quite simple and easy.”
Principal Tan decided to side with Wu De, considering Wu De’s brother-in-law was an official not to be crossed. And the three people in front of him, although probably wealthy and influential, were unlikely to possess top-tier riches or power. After all, if they were truly from the highest echelons of society, their children would have been sent abroad directly instead of attending a school like this.
Hearing Principal Tan’s words, Dong Wan’s expression darkened, and she said to Principal Tan and the others, “Good, very good. What an educational institution dedicated to nurturing people—I’ve truly witnessed it now.”
Having said that, Dong Wan looked at An Na and Li Lixue beside her and continued, “An Na, if I rember correctly, you ntioned that this school was established by a partnership between several bosses from Hongjiang Province, right?”
An Na, though confused, still nodded. When it ca to selecting a school, An Na had indeed conducted detailed investigations on many schools within Hongcheng City, both public and private.
On this side, Dong Wan turned to Li Lixue and said, “Li Xue, I think it’s ti to mobilize the funds. We’re buying this school.”
People familiar with Dong Wan knew that she never liked to bully others with her power. Clearly, the seriousness with which Dong Wan was acting today ant she was truly enraged. It was one thing for the teachers of West Australia School to be unreasonable, but for the school’s leadership to be so muddled was simply infuriating to Dong Wan.
If it had truly been the children’s fault, Dong Wan would have accepted any punishnt without any argunt, but she wouldn’t tolerate being treated like a plaything, to be shaped and squeezed at will.
No sooner had Dong Wan finished speaking than Wu De burst out laughing, standing up and looking at her with mockery, “This woman has lost her mind, thinking she’s soone important. Do you think you can just buy West Australia School whenever you wish? I’m curious to see how you’ll conclude this.”
West Australia International School covered a total area of 3,125 acres. Located on the eastern side of Hongcheng City, it was chosen for the auspicious sign of auspicious ‘qi’ arriving from the east. It bordered the city on one side and the suburbs on the other. It could be said to occupy a golden piece of land. Just the cost of the land was four billion, and when you add in building construction, teaching staff, educational equipnt, and other intangible investnts, the total value was at least fifteen billion.
Fifteen billion, and to have it available at a mont’s notice, even those worth over a hundred billion would find it challenging—let alone that for the bosses, the school was an important asset, and it was uncertain whether they would even consider selling it.
anwhile, Dong Wan ignored Wu De. Li Lixue had already stepped out and made a few phone calls. As one of the Tenglong Consortium bosses, Li Lixue wielded unquestionable power within the group.
Every call carried the sa ssage: they must get in touch with the investors from West Australia School in Hongjiang Province as quickly as possible and use any ans necessary to secure the transfer of all shares of the school.
As soon as Li Lixue entered the room and saw the three won, she spoke in a deep voice, “Wait a bit. In thirty minutes, the investors of West Australia will be here.”
Having said that, the three won ignored Principal Tan and the others and settled themselves on the nearby sofa, making themselves comfortable.
An Na looked at Dong Zhiping and the other two, smiled, and said, “Zhiping, you should leave first. Your mom said she would buy the school. Can you be expelled then? Rest assured.”
On the other side, seeing the three won’s composed and confident deanor, Wu De began to feel uneasy, his eyes shifting nervously as he weighed his options—could it be that these won really had such significant standing and power?
Thinking thus, Wu De discreetly backed away a few steps and headed toward the restroom inside the office. It was a wise move for him to call his brother-in-law. Wu De’s thinking was simple: regardless of whether they could buy the school or not, if they couldn’t, he wanted his brother-in-law to co and intimidate the investors to secure his own position. If they did buy the school, he’d want his brother-in-law to stand up for him.
Principal Tan and Vice Principal Huang were sowhat stunned, creating an exceedingly awkward situation. At this mont, they really didn’t know what to say.
Just then, Principal Tan’s phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was a call from Boss Tan, one of the investors and bosses of West Australia School. Boss Tan rarely called about school matters, so did this an the three won present really had such powerful backgrounds and influence?
Contemplating this, Principal Tan didn’t dare to delay answering the call. On the other end, Boss Tan’s voice ca through, “Where are you? Are there three ladies with you, one of them a foreigner?”
Li Lixue certainly had the image of a Russian woman, and though she held Huaxia Nation citizenship, people not in the know would instinctively refer to her as a foreigner.
Principal Tan glanced at Li Lixue, lowered his voice, and replied, “Yes, Boss Tan.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than Boss Tan spoke in a grave tone, “I see. Make sure to treat the three ladies well. Elder Xiong, Boss Song, and Boss Gu will be arriving shortly.”
