“I’m sure.”
“Alright.” The principal also wanted to find out the truth. The school had spent a lot of effort on their students. He did not wish for them to turn out to be such a disgrace.
The principal picked up the phone and dialed Teacher Liu’s cell phone directly. The midterm exam was just over and Teacher Liu was on the night shift, disciplining the students. He came to the office with the documents as soon as he received the phone call.
In fact, after what happened at the school, some of the students had already reported the incident to Teacher Liu.
“Principal, here is Qiao Nan’s homework for the few main subjects. You can take a look. Principal, I absolutely don’t believe that the students in my class would do such things. I hope the principal can look into this matter and give her fair treatment. It is not easy for her to come in the first place in the level. We must do our best to protect students like her. I heard that the boy is from The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China?”
Teacher Liu cast Sun Lei an unpleasant look. Qiao Nan could not have taken a fancy to such a short boy like him.
The principal paused and pondered Teacher Liu’s words.
Qiao Nan was the top student among her peers in Ping Cheng High School. Within one and a half semesters, she had always scored better than the top student in The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China.
Now, this boy from The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China came out of nowhere to create trouble. Could it be that it was The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China’s plan to remove their most competitive opponent?
If that was the case, the principal at The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China was too much.
“Wait a minute. We cannot just let things off easily. Since you’re from The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China, I will call your principal and get both your principal and form teacher here. We have to get to the bottom of this matter!”
The people from The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China were bent on bullying them. If as the principal of Ping Cheng High School, he did not do anything about it, the other party would think that they were pushovers.
To make things clear, they would have to get everyone concerned to come together to clarify things.
He was worried that even if they managed to prove Qiao Nan’s innocence, the people from The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China insisted would say that they bullied a second-year student from The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China at their school. Ping Cheng High School would definitely not be the scapegoat for this.
Teacher Liu nodded. “Principal, this is a good idea.”
“There’s no need for that, is there?” Sun Lei was scared out of his wits. He only came to look for his girlfriend and spend some time with her to discuss their future plans. Why did he end up having to see the principal?
Sun Lei was not afraid of seeing the principal of Ping Cheng High School. After all, he was a student of The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China, and his school was better than Ping Cheng High School.
No matter how strict the principal from Ping Cheng High School was, he could not discipline him.
However, Sun Lei was worried that his school’s principal might be here.
His performance was only average, and his school did not allow students to start a relationship when they were still in school. If things were blown up, he would be issued a warning by his school. “It may be a misunderstanding. I might have got the wrong person. The Qiao Nan I am referring to could be from some other school.”
“Stop talking nonsense. Just now, you insisted that your girlfriend is Qiao Nan and that she is from first year’s class one. Why is she from another school now? Are you asking for a beating?” Zhu Baoguo yelled at Sun Lei. “Principal, this brat said it was Qiao Zijin who introduced Xiao Qiao to him. In order to avoid trouble, maybe you should get the principal of The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China to bring Qiao Zijin with him. If Qiao Zijin does not come with him and we need to verify with her later, the principal may make use of the time he goes back to bring Qiao Zijin to come up with an excuse to shirk responsibility.”
“You’re right!” The principal agreed with Zhu Baoguo. He did not think of this.
Qiao Zijin was Qiao Nan’s sister who was studying at The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China, wasn’t she?
The principal could not help but frown at the mention of Qiao Zijin.
Last time, when Ding Jiayi came to the school to create a fuss, he had already known about Qiao Zijin. Regardless of whether this was the truth, as Qiao Nan’s sister, how could she introduce a boyfriend to Qiao Nan at this time? She must have harbored ill intentions.
“Fine, go ahead. Do you really think I am afraid of you? I merely want to give you a way out. Yes, we should get Qiao Zijin to come here. By then, you will know what kind of person Qiao Nan is!” Sun Lei was enraged.
He was deceived for such a long time, and his feelings were being toyed with. He also suffered a blow from Zhu Baoguo today.
He could not wait to expose Qiao Nan’s true colors. Since she did not appreciate his good intention to keep things between themselves, he might as well blow things up. After all, he would not be on the losing end.
“You are a piece of crap!” Zhu Baoguo glared at Sun Lei and was about to kick him.
Teacher Liu’s demeanor changed and he quickly pulled Zhu Baoguo back. “That’s too much.” It was fine if he gave Sun Lei a few blows, but things might become ugly if he really kicked Sun Lei.
The principal stared at Sun Lei coldly. He not only called the principal of The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China and asked that he brought Qiao Zijin and Sun Lei’s form teacher with him, but he also notified Qiao Zijin’s form teacher to ask Qiao Zijin’s mother to come to Ping Cheng High School.
The principal knew that Qiao Nan had a phone at home, so he phoned Qiao Dongliang to inform him to come to the school as well.
The principals made several phone calls to notify different people to come to their school. Qiao Dongliang, who stayed near Ping Cheng High School, was the first to arrive. “Principal, what’s the matter? Nan Nan?” Did Nan Nan fail terribly in her midterm exams, so the principal wanted to talk to the parents?
“Qiao Nan’s father, don’t worry. Let’s wait until everyone arrives,” the principal took a deep breath and said calmly.
Qiao Dongliang looked at Qiao Nan. Qiao Nan shook her head, telling him not to worry.
After a quarter of an hour, the principal of The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China, the form teacher of Sun Lei, Ding Jiayi, and Qiao Zijin arrived.
The principal of The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China pulled a long face. “What exactly happened?”
Qiao Nan looked at the four people who came in. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Qiao Zijin.
Qiao Zijin looked like a chicken that had fallen into the water during winter time. The feathers were plastered to its body and it shrunk, seemingly smaller than its actual size and looking particularly pitiful. Qiao Zijin had a pleading look in her eyes, hoping that Qiao Nan would help her through this ordeal.
Qiao Nan sneered. She had nothing more to say to Qiao Zijin.
Qiao Zijin had tried time and again to create trouble for her. Even though she failed every time, she never gave up.
She did not understand. It had been almost two years. Why Qiao Zijin could not learn from her mistakes? Why could they not mind their own business and not interfere with her life?
“What’s the matter? Zijin is not a student at your school.”
“I’m sure.”
“Alright.” The principal also wanted to find out the truth. The school had spent a lot of effort on their students. He did not wish for them to turn out to be such a disgrace.
