Chapter 454: A Dilemma
Translator: Tuiwen Editor: Tuiwen
The more he thought about it, the more excited Xiao Liu became.
Principal Kong, on the other hand, remained unconvinced. “Don’t even think about it. Such a thing can never happen in No. 1 High School.”
In truth, the idea also appealed to Principal Kong. It was a great opportunity for the third years to improve their grades, after all.
And it did promise some very good results.
But if they pursued the idea, they would have to expose Yao Tangto the world.
He was worried enough as it was, thinking that someone might abduct her and use her to their advantage.
How could he bear to share her with the public any more than he already was?
If she slipped from his grasp, he would probably lament over the loss for the rest of his life.
No way!
He could not allow such a thing. He refused to even risk it.
“Let me make it clear to you right now. It would be best for you to drop the idea while it’s still early. I will never allow it, and I’m sure Yao Tangwouldn’t agree to it, either. She’s a very private person. I don’t think she would be willing to provide other people the opportunity to pick on her shortcomings.”
Although Xiao Liudidn’t sharePrincipal Kong’s thinking, he had no choice but to heed his superior’s orders.
Just as well, too, since they had yet to deal with the matter at hand.
......
“Then, what about this transfer student, Li Chen? What should we do?”
They didn’t want the boy to return to City Fempty-handed, for fear that they might lose face against their rival.
But they couldn’t risk him attending their school, either, since he would quickly realize that their teachers weren’t as impressive as they had expected.
It was quite a dilemma.
No matter which direction they took, they were bound to incur some losses.
And since Li Chen’s family was already aware ofYao Tang’s existence, it made the situation all the more tricky.
Principal Kong took out his phone and typed out a message: “Little Tang, did you conduct an online remedial lecture last night?”
Yao Tang didn’t reply.
After a few minutes of being antsy, Principal Kongcalled her number, only to hang up in the next second.
He didn’t know what to do.
He looked at Xiao Liu and barked, “Go find Yao Tang and tell her to reply to my message. Hurry up!”
The other man blinked in confusion. “Should I just bring her over?”
Principal Kong glared at him. “That won’t be necessary. Just tell her to give me a reply.”
“But… Classes are ongoing at the moment. I don’t think it’s a good idea to take her aside just for this.”
Principal Kong glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and sighed. “Fine.”
Just then, his phone beeped. Yao Tanghad replied.
“Yep.”
He could just imagine that cheeky girl typing lazily on her screen.
Something occurred to Principal Kongthen.
“Little Tang, are you playing with your phone while in class?”
This time, there was no response.
Xiao Liu edged closer and peeked at his superior’s phone. When he saw the conversation, he couldn’t help but shake her head.
‘What is Principal Kongdoing, acting like a child at his age?’
Principal Kong was now staring at his screen with regret. He wanted to retract his last message, but he saw thatYao Tanghad already read it.
He might as well change the subject.
“I have something important to ask you. Did an outsider attend your remedial lecture last night?”
“Yeah, and I endorsed our school to them. You’re welcome. Don’t bother thanking me.”
Principal Kong’s eyes widened in indignation.
‘What does this brat mean, don’t bother thanking her? She’s going to send me to an early grave at this rate!’
He suddenly had an overwhelming urge to hunt the girl down and teach her a lesson.
Of course, he couldn’t do much except send another message.
“Next time you hold an online class, make sure to use a password!”
“Oh.”
Principal Kong’s expression turned even more terrible at the one-word reply.
He closed his eyes and let out a long, draining breath.
When he opened them again, he looked straight at Xiao Liuand demanded, “Where are those two right now?”
“They are waiting at the Academic Affairs Office. The director is entertaining them as we speak.”
Class 20 was no ordinary class, so the director was probably at a loss on how to proceed.
“All right. Let’s go and get this over with.”
Principal Kong got to his feet and trudged to the door in resignation.
