Xu Dajiang could only nod and respond, "That's right, it was him."
"You recorded the call that day, didn't you?" Qiao Ze tilted his head and asked.
"Yes." Xu Dajiang nodded again and imdiately added, "But no one expected him to find your mother, after all, the whole thing can be said to have nothing to do with you guys."
Qiao Ze shook his head and then said seriously, "I believe in the principle of equivalent exchange. But I will never use my family's safety as a bargaining chip for equivalent exchange."
These words made Xu Dajiang's heart thump violently. Being a smart man himself, he certainly understood what Qiao Ze ant.
This was already extre dissatisfaction.
Thus, Xu Dajiang imdiately said, "Don't worry, there won't be a next ti."
Qiao Ze looked at Xu Dajiang seriously and said, "It's okay if there's nothing, but if sothing happens, that'll be a different story."
"Alright, Qiao Ze, as I just analyzed for you, if it really is Zhang in charge, then there's nothing to worry about. Let's go up together, explain things clearly, and it will be fine. We're all reasonable people," Li Jiangao imdiately started to smooth things over.
"Yes, yes, yes, let's first bring out Zhang, and then we can talk slowly. Everyone just waits here, it's better not to go up all at once and scare them," Xu Dajiang said to the group following behind Qiao Ze.
At this point, he couldn't be bothered to wait for the security departnt to arrive before going up.
By now, Xu Dajiang had accumulated a belly full of fury.
Not to ntion he had both Li Jiangao and Qiao Ze, two strong young n, at his side, but at this mont, he felt he could knockout that Zhang guy all by himself!
"Wait, Dean Xu, Qiao Ze, I should go up too," Su Mucheng, who had been silently listening to the three n's conversation, quickly said.
The stars in Su Mucheng's eyes had sparked countless tis while she listened to Qiao Ze speak with Xu Dajiang.
Especially the line, "I believe in the principle of equivalent exchange. But I will never use my family's safety as a bargaining chip for equivalent exchange," had really resonated with her.
At this point, she would die before compromising.
It didn't matter whether it was a school principal upstairs or even if it were an actual psychopath, she had to go up and see for herself.
Qiao Ze looked at Su Mucheng and shook his head.
But then Su Mucheng raised her delicate fist to Qiao Ze and said, "Don't underestimate , I learned Sanda when I was little! If you don't believe , you can ask my dad. But more importantly, soone has to stay with Auntie Lu while you guys talk to Principal Zhang, right?"
"Fine, Su Mucheng can co with us, just stand behind ," Li Jian Gao nodded and said.
"Thank you, Uncle Li," Su Mucheng said.
Xu Dajiang took a deep breath, turned his head, and accurately caught Liu Chenfeng, who was still hanging back, and said, "Liu Chenfeng, you lead everyone to wait here. Security from the school may co later, and if we haven't co back down in ten minutes, then let them go up. Did you hear ?"
"Understood, Instructor Xu," Liu Chenfeng imdiately responded, then took a couple of quick steps to join the middle of the group.
His hanging heart finally settled.
The boss was willing to assign him work, which ant the previous incident was in the past.
As for today's matter, Liu Chenfeng thought it wasn't too serious.
As long as it wasn't an actual psychopath.
He had seen that Principal Zhang before, and with that flabby physique, he felt he could subdue him with just one hand.
...
"Ding dong, ding dong..."
As the doorbell rang, Lu Xiuxiu saw the man opposite her, who had been chatting nonstop, suddenly beco a bit agitated. He quickly said, "Principal Zhang, don't worry. It should be Qiao Ze coming back; you were just talking about so things that I really don't quite understand, and I can appreciate that you're just following the rules. Perfect, you can talk to Qiao Ze.
My child understands these things better."
Saying this, she naturally stood up to answer the door.
The words Qiao Ze had told her were very useful.
Originally, Lu Xiuxiu was sowhat panicked, but after Qiao Ze told her that the visitor was indeed a school leader, she also cald down and even started the conversation with a slight restraint.
After all, the house she lived in and her job were both arranged by the school, and she was always afraid of offending the leadership.
For Lu Xiuxiu, who hadn't seen much of the world, all she felt for her current life was gratitude.
After all, her current work environnt was worlds apart from when she worked at the supermarket.
At the supermarket, occasionally encountering a bad-tempered custor truly ant being cursed at point-blank range, enduring all sorts of unpleasant words.
Here, not only was the salary much higher than at the supermarket, but the various benefits were especially good. Moreover, her colleagues in the office were all particularly friendly, they would chat about gossip without excluding her, and they also enlightened her about many interesting things within the school.
Occasionally when people ca to handle affairs, they were also of high quality, and one simply wouldn't hear any abusive language.
Not to ntion the frequent care from leadership, which made her feel very comfortable every day.
Lacking education in psychology, Lu Xiuxiu did not realize that this was just the psychological happiness that ca from being respected; she simply felt satisfied with everything around her. It was as if she had suddenly co to a world inhabited only by good people.
So when Qiao Ze reassured her that the man wasn't a lunatic, just a leader under great pressure, she cald down.
They were all highly educated people, how could they have any ill intentions?
It was probably Lu Xiuxiu's very natural deanor that soothed the initially extrely agitated man.
After hearing Lu Xiuxiu's very sincere words, he sat down again.
A mont later, Lu Xiuxiu opened the door and imdiately said with a smile upon seeing several people outside, "Eh, Dean Xu, Professor Li, and Mu Cheng, you all ca? That's great, President Zhang has been waiting for you at ho for a while now, please co in."
...
Really, when he saw that it was Lu Xiuxiu who opened the door, safe and sound, Xu Dajiang felt so moved that tears nearly burst forth.
So things are okay to never have owned.
But once one gets an idea and suddenly loses it, that's where the real blow cos.
It was just like a very poetic phrase described it, "I could have endured the darkness alone, if I had never seen the light."
Xu Dajiang's goal now was to surpass Yanbei Mathematics Institute; if Qiao Ze, who represented the core competitive power, chose to pack up and leave, he would truly have the thought of ending it all.
Thank goodness, all was well!
The next mont, a piercing voice directly entered his ear.
"Xu Dajiang? What brings you here?"
Really, if not for Lu Xiuxiu still being there, Xu Dajiang swore he would have charged over and given that guy a good beating.
Even so, he imdiately entered the room and said with a sneer, "Oh, isn't this President Zhang? You can co but we can't? I also want to ask, today's the school's orientation day and you're not busy in the office, why did you co over here?"
Hearing Xu Dajiang's words, Lu Xiuxiu sensed sothing was amiss and cast a doubtful glance at Qiao Ze, who was walking into the room expressionlessly.
Fortunately, before she could react, Su Mucheng, who stood at the back, had already enthusiastically taken Lu Xiuxiu's arm, saying affectionately, "Auntie Lu, it's been rather busy at the lab these past few days, and I haven't been able to visit you for a long ti. I've really missed you, have you missed ?"
Well, still the most important was the future daughter-in-law who could cheer her up with just one sentence.
"Missed, why wouldn't I?" Lu Xiuxiu imdiately responded.
"Then let's go chat in the little room by the front door first, let Dean Xu and Professor Li discuss school matters," she said as she took Lu Xiuxiu into the little study converted from the entry garden and then casually closed the door behind them.
"Mu Cheng, tell the truth, what's actually going on today?" Seeing Su Mucheng's actions, Lu Xiuxiu still asked with so concern.
"Ah, Auntie Lu, it's really nothing much. That President Zhang previously failed to recognize a pearl and looked down on our Qiao Ze. Now that he's seen how capable Qiao Ze is, he wants to poach him to help out. Could Dean Xu and Uncle Li let him have his way? Of course, there had to be a confrontation. Anyway, they'll argue it out, and we'll just have our chat here.
Once they're done arguing, it will all be okay," Su Mucheng said, casually offering the pre-crafted explanation.
For soone who could coax her unreliable parents into compliance, placating a guardian with a few words was also basic maneuvering.
