Chapter 282: Chapter 281: In Your Eyes, There’s No Such Thing As A Big Deal
After the fourth morning class, Lu Mian reluctantly closed the novel she was reading. Following the others, she walked out of the classroom, and the students she passed looked at her with complex expressions.
When they reached the ground floor, Principal Zhang inexplicably pulled her aside, acting all secretive.
Lu Mian uttered in surprise, “Hey, Principal Zhang, your hairline has receded even more.”
Principal Zhang: This ancestor!
“Co with , I’m inviting you to eat in the cafeteria!”
Lu Mian: The principal is treating a student to a al? Okay then…
...
Lu Mian didn’t often co to the school cafeteria, only having checked it out once back when she was sending Yuanyuan to school.
The principal led her around the main hall of the cafeteria and up to the second floor. Entering a simple private room, soone was already waiting for her there.
Upon seeing who it was, Lu Mian smirked and glared at Principal Zhang before turning to leave.
Principal Zhang imdiately blocked the door, explaining, “Lu Mian, you’re trending on social dia!”
Hearing about her own gossip news from the mouth of the dignified principal felt a bit surreal; Lu Mian just glanced at the content on Weibo without much concern.
It’s just that her smile, yes, it turned colder.
She turned back around and walked toward the stern middle-aged man sitting in the private room.
The man, neither smiling nor talkative, looked experienced and strict, clearly soone accustod to being a high-ranking authority.
Lu Mian’s head swiveled around, and she nonchalantly called out, “Uncle Han.”
Principal Zhang wasn’t surprised, but he was quite moved. Lu Mian’s call of “Uncle Han” wasn’t so simple, indicating a good relationship.
But, this man was the chief of the provincial education bureau!
He, as the school principal, would have to make an appointnt in advance to see the bureau chief!
Lu Mian, with her hands in her pockets, sat down reluctantly, her face bearing the expression of one heroically facing sacrifice.
“Uncle Han, what brings you here?”
The serious and strict bureau chief Han Jin was instantly fired up, his knuckles DuangDuang tapping on the table, speaking in an urgent tone.
“The fuss you’ve been causing these past few months is like a tractor climbing a mountain, loud and intense! If I don’t co now, I think you’re going to turn the world upside down!”
Lu Mian raised her thumb, impressed by his eloquence. Sure enough, he spoke differently as an educated man.
Han Jin, being a provincial official, wouldn’t usually stay in Wucheng, but Principal Zhang would often report to him about Lu Mian’s situation. Thus, this ti Lu Mian had an issue with the Bai Family, he was pretty much up to speed.
Lu Mian’s ears felt warm, and she leaned to the side slightly: “It’s not a big deal…”
“Enough, enough. In your eyes, there’s never a big deal! Perfect scores in all subjects isn’t a big deal, winning a physics competition isn’t a big deal, choosing to attend high school again instead of university isn’t a big deal!”
Han Jin was so annoyed that he could scold her for a day and a night, but rembering there was urgent business to attend to, he rolled his eyes irritably, “Eat first, I need to make a phone call.”
With that, he took out his cellphone.
Principal Zhang was in a state of shock: “…”
I am so foolish, truly.
I knew they had so connection, but I didn’t realize they were this close…
Han Jin’s call went directly to Bai Shuren.
In the private room of Wangjiang Tower, Bai Shuren smiled upon seeing the incoming call on his phone, “It’s Old Han.”
Sheng Zijin smiled, “Uncle Han Jin? Is he about to arrive?”
Although Han Jin currently held a position in the education bureau, his abilities were far beyond just that. He had specifically requested to be transferred from Jinjing to Wucheng two years ago.
Naturally, Han Jin was also a target for the Sheng Family to win over.
“I’ll ask him,” Bai Shuren said with a smile. “Old Han?”
Before he could finish the pleasantries, an urgent voice ca from the other end.
“Family Head Bai, take down that trending Weibo post about Lu Mian and issue an official apology. Don’t make a fuss over this anymore, isn’t it annoying?”
“…” Bai Shuren was bewildered, “Old Han, what’s going on?”
“Don’t ask , go check it out yourself!” Han Jin said, his tone urgent, and he added another line.
“I have sothing important to deal with, so I won’t be attending the Sheng Family’s dinner!”
