Chapter 1444: Wise Principal Gu 4

~8 min read 1,438 words

The Secretary did not move from his spot, looking toward his Principal.

Seeing the Principal nod, he then went out and closed the door behind him.

The Normal University Principal introduced: "This is Principal Gu of Jiangzhou University, and also the grandfather of Gu Yuxin."

Principal Gu laughed: "No need for you to introduce me. When I arrived, we met on campus. I was only busy looking at the changes in your school and didn't notice I had bumped into this female student."

Lu Feifei looked up in surprise, looking toward Principal Gu.

It turned out the old man she had bumped into was the famous Principal Gu. Although he appeared approachable, she did not dare to let her guard down.

"Student Lu Feifei, sit down, don't be nervous. I had you come over today just to chat casually. I heard you have already been admitted to Jiang University; why are you still insistent on attending the Normal University?"

Lu Feifei:...

She did not expect that Principal Gu would actually ask this.

The old friend did not expect it either.

The old friend protested: "What do you mean? Did you run over to our school today to poach talent?" He almost said, if you want her, I'll give her to you.

The Normal University is also a prestigious school, but compared to Jiang University, it is still a cut below.

"You don't know, do you?" Principal Gu asked his old friend.

The old friend shook his head: "I don't know, I would like to hear the details."

After obtaining Lu Feifei's consent, Principal Gu spoke about her family situation and the situation in Class Twelve at the time.

However, he did not say that he had heard these things from Sheng Zichen.

The admissions office teachers at Jiang University are omnipotent; they know the students' personal situations like the back of their hands, so the two people present naturally assumed it was the admissions office teachers who had said it.

Principal Gu summarized: "Student Lu Feifei, if it weren't for the special circumstances in your family during the last few months, you would have had every hope of getting into Jiang University's most popular major. Although you didn't choose our school, I think your choice is very correct."

Next, Principal Gu said a lot more about the help Lu Feifei gave her classmates with their studies in Class Twelve, and also said that she would definitely be a very good teacher in the future and could cultivate many pillars of society.

Lu Feifei began to cry, sobbing uncontrollably.

Principal Gu handed over the tissue box from the coffee table, watching her cry without trying to persuade her otherwise.

When one has been suppressed in their heart for a long time, there needs to be an outlet.

Once it is cried out and vented, the negative emotions will be much less!

She cried for a long time and finally stopped her sobbing.

Lu Feifei stood straight in front of Principal Gu and bowed deeply: "I'm sorry, thank you!"

Principal Gu smiled and nodded to his old friend.

So the old friend told her of Principal Gu's decision: "Principal Gu came this time to request that I revoke the disciplinary action against you."

"Ah?"

She opened her mouth wide, forgetting to close it.

It was truly too shocking; what was this situation?

Was she dreaming?

She wouldn't even dare to think like this in a dream.

"What 'ah' are you doing? Say thank you. Is this girl silly?" The Principal also laughed.

"Are, are you saying it's true? You aren't fooling me, are you?" Lu Feifei asked cautiously. She did not believe such a good thing would happen, and even less dared to believe this good thing would fall on her head.

Removing the disciplinary action meant that her file would be clean from now on. As long as this period passed and she left this environment, no one would ever know about this disgraceful past of hers.

Lu Feifei was ecstatic, though even in her joy, it still felt very unreal.

She was used to having a hard life and always felt that she was destined to be unlucky; such lucky things should have nothing to do with her.

The Principal darkened his face: "Of course it's true. A principal of such a large school, busy with ten thousand things every day, would he come all the way here just to tease you?"

"Thank you, thank you!"

Lu Feifei bowed to the end, tears flying once again.

"Student Lu Feifei, I am forgiving you this time because you are a good child at heart. I am willing to give you a chance, and I also hope you can seize this opportunity. Do you understand what I mean?"

Principal Gu used both kindness and severity, first returning good for evil, then using his words to awe her.

"I understand what you mean. Please rest assured, I will go and apologize to Gu Yuxin, a sincere apology, and I promise I will never pester Sheng Zichen again..."

"No, no, no, that is not what I meant."

Seeing she hadn't understood, Principal Gu could only clarify: "I hope that in the future, you will have a broader perspective, set your sights on a higher level, and become a person useful to society, rather than just fixating on romantic entanglements. That way, you won't go far on your path!"

Coming out of the Principal's office, Lu Feifei felt as if she had been reborn.

It was not just the joy brought by the revocation of the disciplinary action, but also an awakening that felt like an epiphany!

Principal Gu was right; she shouldn't fixate on romantic entanglements. The world is vast, and there is much to learn. In the future, she needs to go and see a broader space, rather than thinking all day about who she likes? Whether that person likes her back?

The important thing is—he doesn't like her!

Actually, she had known the answer long ago, she just hadn't been willing to give up.

"Have you guys seen the news? There was an earthquake, an earthquake in the west. So many people dead and injured, heavens, it's too terrifying!"

Early in the morning, almost everyone on the Jiang University campus was discussing this matter.

The earthquake was very sudden, and it happened in the middle of the night. Various places in Jiangzhou immediately launched rescue operations, and rescue teams rushed toward the epicenter from all directions.

Various universities also set up donation boxes on campus, with people registering nearby. The donated money would be used to purchase bottled water, convenience foods, and medicine to be transported to the disaster area.

The class Zichen is in was also actively taking action.

Gu Yuxin is the Class Monitor. She was preparing to call for donations in the class and to volunteer to go to the disaster area. Just as she walked into the classroom, she saw Sheng Zichen surrounded by his classmates, speaking with great passion!

The atmosphere was very fiery.

The main purpose was also to call on classmates to donate and volunteer, and he had said everything she wanted to say.

Yet he spoke even better than she had intended, without any coercion; just a single speech had the classmates eager and ready, all expressing their intent to sign up enthusiastically.

After Zichen finished speaking, he turned around and discovered Gu Yuxin standing behind him, glaring at him!

"Hehe, Class Monitor, you're here. Please don't misunderstand; I was just acting as your vanguard to help you share the burden and relieve your worries."

"Oh! So I suppose I have to thank you then?"

"It's nothing, you're welcome."

"Enough, I see you really aren't being polite; this isn't the first time you've overstepped your bounds."

Although Gu Yuxin was the class monitor, Sheng Zichen's prestige among the students was even higher than hers; it was not yet certain who the next class monitor would be.

"I was wrong, I was wrong. How about this: next time, I'll do whatever you tell me to do, and if you say I'm not allowed to do something, I won't move a muscle. How about that?"

"But you have to tell me in advance, otherwise I won't know what I can do and what I can't do..."

Sheng Zichen grinned cheekily, and Gu Yuxin rolled her eyes at him: "Slick-tongued."

The two had not yet officially reconciled, but their relationship had already returned to how it was before.

Whether there was something going on or not, they were always huddled together—bickering and trading barbs!
