Chapter 111: Meeting the Principal
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The lackey’s face flushed with anger. Last time, in front of the bookstore, he had been insulted by this woman!
“You know him?” the leader, a boy of fourteen or fifteen, said disdainfully.
“She was the one who insulted me last time.” The lackey gritted his teeth.
Xu Qing finally remembered who this person was. The last time she went to buy books with Qiao Yanhui, she met a “psycho”! She remembered that he ran away in shame after she counterattacked!
“How dare you bully my people?” The leader of the boys raised his head high with an arrogant expression.
Xu Qing couldn’t be bothered to bicker with him, but he relentlessly blocked her way.
Xu Qing couldn’t take it anymore and asked, “Who are you? Are you the boss of that stupid person?”
The boy in the lead was speechless. How could he admit it? This concerned his reputation.
“You’re too insulting!” The lackey’s face flushed with anger.
“Oh really? Is that so? Isn’t what I said the truth?” Xu Qing raised her eyebrows.
“You…” The lackey was about to say something when his boss slapped him!
“What’s going on?” The boy in the lead indeed didn’t know the details. He only knew that his people had been bullied, so he naturally couldn’t back down. He didn’t expect there to be more to the situation.
Xu Qing shook her head. She wondered if sending her brothers here for school was the right choice. Just as she was pondering over it, a middle-aged man led Xu Huai and Xu Zhi out with a look of pity.
Xu Huai and Xu Zhi looked indignant.
Xu Qing hurriedly went forward and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Sister, we didn’t pass the exam, so we can’t go to school here,” Xu Huai replied in a low voice.
Xu Qing was puzzled. It was just the entrance examination, so logically speaking, they should have aced it. After all, she and Sizhi had taught them a lot.
“What’s the problem?” Xu Qing looked at the middle-aged man, who had a regretful expression.
The middle-aged teacher shook his head and said, “It can only be said that they were unlucky to encounter the principal and his good friend. They decided to test your two younger brothers at the last minute, but their answer dissatisfied the principal, so he asked me to send them out.” The middle-aged man really felt that it was a pity. He felt that these two children really had potential, but unfortunately, they were selfish.
“May I ask what questions they asked?” Xu Qing asked sincerely.
“They asked them why they want to study,” the middle-aged man said.
Xu Qing understood. “Did they say that it was to protect their family?”
The middle-aged man was a little surprised. Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Xu Qing. “Can I go in and visit your principal?”
Immediately, those people who were causing trouble for her laughed loudly. A village girl actually dared to request to visit their principal? Was she even worthy enough?
The middle-aged man looked troubled. Clearly, he didn’t agree.
“You can go to the dean and say that I only have one thing to say to him. After that, if they still won’t accept my brothers, I’ll leave immediately.” Xu Qing had an earnest expression on her face.
The middle-aged man cherished talent after all, so seeing how sincere her plead was, he went.
Xu Zhi and Xu Huai looked at their sister guiltily. They were too imcompetent, so their sister had to beg others to let them enroll!
“You guys did well, really!” Xu Qing sensed their worries and patted their heads to comfort them.
Xu Huai and Xu Zhi clenched their fists as they made up their minds! They would never disappoint their sister again!
Those rich young masters didn’t continue to find fault with her. They glanced at Xu Qing, then they snorted coldly with disdain before they left for school.
After a while, the principal and his good friend came out. However, the middle-aged man was a little listless. Perhaps he had been criticized by the principal.
Xu Qing was calm and composed. Her calm demeanor caused the two old men who came from afar to exclaim in surprise. She actually didn’t panic when the principal personally came out to see her. How brazen. However, they wanted to know what she would say that she was so confident would change their minds!
When the two old men approached, Xu Qing saw their faces clearly. One of them was the bookstore owner she had previously met!
“It’s you?” Uncle Lei was also surprised to see Xu Qing.
“Uncle Lei.” Xu Qing smiled.
The dean at the side looked at Xu Qing in confusion. Was she trying to curry favor with him? Although Uncle Lei was very influential, not everyone could enter Honglu School. Because of his preconceived notion, the principal said to Xu Qing angrily, “What do you want to say to us? Hurry up and say it. We don’t meet just anyone.”
