"Director Zhu, hello." Wang Jingjing quickly responded, putting in so effort before finding the opportunity to withdraw her hand.
Director Zhu tried his best to conceal his lingering desires, smiling oh so "innocently."
"Hehe, Teacher Wang, let's have dinner together tonight. It's rare for Director Zhu to grace us with his guidance," Principal Qian said with feigned "simplicity."
After saying that, without giving Wang Jingjing ti to respond, Principal Qian imdiately turned to the music step classroom and said, "Students, welco the leader. Let's give him a round of applause."
It's no wonder he could climb to the position of principal. He truly is a cunning old fox, effortlessly making Wang Jingjing feel like she had no choice but to accept, even though she was repulsed, but all she could do was grit her teeth and go with the flow.
Clap clap clap—
The applause rang out.
"Hmph, just formalism," Wei Shengjin muttered disdainfully.
Director Zhu walked up cheerfully, waving his hands, and the large classroom quieted down once again. It was clear to everyone that the leader was about to speak.
"Our motherland is gradually becoming powerful, and the developnt of music is an inevitable trend for building a prosperous harmonious society. Every music talent is a precious gem of our nation. I hope all students will be diligent and hard-working, to beco the pillars of our country as soon as possible, contributing to the music industry and realizing your own life values..."
Wei Shengjin curled his lip again, "What the hell, it's the sa old rhetoric every ti. I'm sick of hearing it."
"I think what Director Zhu said is quite good," Lin Hai comnted.
Wei Shengjin shook his head, "It gets annoying when you hear it too much. This guy is no good, the school's Zhu Liunong is his uncle."
"Zhu Liunong? Shit, these nas are odder than the last."
Lin Hai was speechless.
"Brother-in-law, Zhu Liunong is the dumb fatass you beat up last ti. Have you forgotten?" Ruoshuang reminded him tily.
Lin Hai suddenly rembered that so ti ago there was a fat guy chasing after Wang Jingjing, and he played the role of a protector.
"Is it that dead fatass who claims to have many relatives who are high officials in the education system?"
"Right, Director Zhu is his uncle."
"Damn, no wonder. They have the sa taste in the family, all fancying a beauty like Teacher Wang Jingjing," Lin Hai huffed.
"In any case, they're not good people. Several girls from the art departnt at our school were hard by this Zhu character," Wei Shengjin heaved a sigh.
"Damn, the school's atmosphere is getting worse, I'm so envious," the last word from Lin Hai is enough to make soone spit blood.
"Teacher Wang, please continue with your class. We will just sit in. We can't disturb the students' ti. They are all flowers of our nation!" Director Zhu spoke earnestly.
The following attendees, including Principal Qian, all echoed his sentints, eagerly tossing all kinds of flattery.
Director Zhu walked over toward the seats.
"Eh? Director Zhu is coming to sit over here?" Wei Shengjin remarked.
Lin Hai also noticed; sure enough, he was heading in his direction, and his gaze seed to linger on Ruoshuang.
"Shit? After taking advantage of Wang Jingjing, he wants to take advantage of my little aunt," Lin Hai was also quite irritated.
As Director Zhu walked over with a beaming smile, squinting at Ruoshuang, Lin Hai could no longer stand by.
"Ah, Director Zhu, hello, hello." Lin Hai stood up proactively and shook hands with Director Zhu.
"Who are you?" Director Zhu's face showed displeasure as he was blocked from his view of Ruoshuang.
"Oh, my na is Lin, and I'm involved in music. I'm here by invitation to attend the class. Additionally, I also have a part-ti job as a special contributor for Huadu Daily," said Lin Hai with a smile.
Upon hearing that Lin Hai was involved in music, Director Zhu's face grew sour, but it imdiately lit up with a smile again when he found out that Lin Hai was also a journalist.
These days, corrupt officials are afraid of journalists, particularly Huadu Daily, which is known for its fierce and sharp topics. It's not to be offended; otherwise, a scandalous exposure could sar anyone's image. Which corrupt official has a clean record?
"Nice to et you, you must be a prodigy in the music industry, given your youthfulness. I've been discourteous," said Director Zhu eagerly with a chuckling smile.
"I don't deserve such praise, haha. I've had dinner with Zhuge Jianguo and occasionally mingle in the circle," Lin Hai ntioned casually, yet cunningly.
"Zhuge Jianguo?" Director Zhu found the na vaguely familiar, but couldn't quite rember.
"Oh, his family seems to run sothing like Wanda Film and Television."
Hissing, Director Zhu took a sharp breath. Though he was an official, he couldn't afford to offend top groups like Wanda Film and Television, which had once been on the wealthy list in Huaxia.
Director Zhu imdiately beca more respectful, cautious not to offend Lin Hai and even showed a hint of sycophantic smile.
Could an ordinary person have a al with the young master of Wanda Film Industry? Director Zhu felt like his network could expand further.
Lin Hai nonchalantly moved between Director Zhu and Ruoshuang, then sat down.
"Brother Lin truly has a distinguished appearance, haha. Are you close with Zhuge Jianguo?" Director Zhu's use of "you" indicated a level of respect in his language.
Wei Shengjin was even more in awe. Shit, he must take him as a ntor, making the director treat him with such courtesy.
Ruoshuang was also uncertain, wondering if her brother-in-law was behaving too out of character today. Could it be true that he knew Zhuge Jianguo?
"Oh, we've had a al, at so lousy press conference. That kid can really drink," said Lin Hai with a laugh.
Director Zhu imdiately confird that Lin Hai wasn't boasting and actually knew him.
This was a relationship to cultivate; what if Jianguo invested a hefty sum for educational developnt? Wouldn't he be able to claim the achievents? And maybe get a promotion, make fortune, die an old... uh, cough cough.
"I always knew Brother Lin was a man of great talent. Let's, no, I, Zhu, must drink a few rounds with you today," Director Zhu said, now referring to himself as Zhu.
Lin Hai smiled without saying a word, adding: "Yeah, last ti I was eating a boxed al on the side, while that kid was sitting at the table drinking with others."
Director Zhu's face turned rigid.
"Director Zhu, what are we having for dinner tonight?" Lin Hai asked.
"Young man." Director Zhu beca serious again, imperious, like an elder schooling his junior, and said aningfully, "Young man, one should be generous and honest in life. I can't stand those so-called 'artists' nowadays who lie through their teeth, corrupting the atmosphere of the cultural circles, hmph."
After speaking, Director Zhu couldn't stand to look at Lin Hai anymore, his face turning blue, almost getting fooled by this young upstart.
Ruoshuang displayed an "I knew it would end this way" expression, but it seed her brother-in-law was pretty cunning after all.
"Director Zhu, don't take it personally, just joking around. Actually, I'm friends with Yu Tianlin, not so familiar with Zhuge Jianguo," Lin Hai said.
Ruoshuang was speechless, her brother-in-law was at it again. Couldn't he try a new tactic?
Wei Shengjin thought: Shit, this guy is too bold, even daring to play tricks on Director Zhu.
"Hmph!" Director Zhu felt if he got fooled again, he'd be an idiot, his tone heavily displeased, "Young man, be aware of who Yu Tianlin is in Huadu, or it's your loss if you suffer for it without my warning."
