Chapter 590: What Does

Elite School.

Everyone is in a state of panic.

The faculty and staff have no heart for their work, gathering in groups of three or five to whisper to one another.

"Do you think the school will really go bankrupt?"

"Not bankrupt, but it's true that the owner is changing."

"Who is the new owner? I hope it's not someone who knows nothing and just barks orders; if that happens, I'm resigning."

"Don't you know yet? The next owner of the school is rumored to be the Sun Family."

"Which Sun Family?"

"How many Sun Families could there be? It's Sun Zihan's family, of course..."

The Sun Family is a nouveau riche that has emerged in Jiangzhou in recent years.

Sun Zihan's father may not be particularly capable in business, but the Sun Family has strong backing and holds many monopoly businesses in their hands, so they have developed rapidly.

Just as the school was buzzing with discussion, everyone was astonished to discover—Shi Youxuan walking through the school gate!

She usually doesn't come to drop off her child, and even if she does, she leaves as soon as she reaches the gate.

But it is not the time for dropping off children now; she has arrived during the time for clocking in to work.

Shi Youxuan is wearing a black and white professional suit, carrying a limited-edition Hermes bag, her thick hair tied into a ponytail with a bun at the back of her head.

She is wearing light makeup, looking spirited, and stepping in high heels as she walks toward the office building.

Is this outfit for coming to work?

It looks like it, but everyone is uncertain.

They have never seen the Chairman come to the school to work; she only appears at the end of the year for the shareholders' meeting.

And even then, she leaves as soon as the meeting is over, not even attending the post-meeting dinner.

Now that the school is on the verge of being lost, she has come to work?

"Good morning, Chairman."

"Hello."

"Ch-Chairman, good morning."

"Morning!"

Everyone cannot see a trace of dejection on the Chairman's face.

So, after she passed by, people discussed it quietly behind her back—is it possible the school can't be sold?

"Why are you here?"

The Principal is surprised to see Shi Youxuan in the hallway.

"Where is my office?" Shi Youxuan asks.

"Office? Are you here to work?"

The Chairman's office had been prepared long ago, but it had never welcomed its owner.

The Principal's thoughts are the same as everyone else's; she never comes to work, and now that the school is about to change hands, the Chairman has actually come to work?

"Yes, take me there."

Shi Youxuan is unwilling to waste words with him.

Walking into her office, the desktop, the floor, everywhere is covered in a thin layer of dust!

There is also a faint musty smell in the air.

Originally, even if she didn't come, this office was cleaned regularly, but with everyone in a panic these past few days, no one has bothered with it.

Shi Youxuan opens the window to air out the room and cleans up herself.

"Chairman, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Shi Youxuan looks up at the Principal and wrings out the rag in her hand: "Go back and do your own work; don't you see what the atmosphere in the school has become? I don't need to explain to you what I want to do."

The Principal is rebuffed.

He leaves indignantly.

But he returns not long after he left, rushing over with a face full of joy: "Chairman, great news! The academic titans of A Country, Jin Lao and his wife, are coming to our school for an inspection."

Shi Youxuan says indifferently: "Mm, I know."

The Principal reminds her: "It is the glory of our school that Jin Lao and his wife can come here; others couldn't invite them even if they wanted to. Don't be so indifferent; take this seriously!"

He is anxious to the point of death.

The Chairman is young and ignorant; she probably doesn't know what it means for Jin Lao and his wife to inspect the school.

If they can come to the school at this time, the school can basically be saved.

But compared to the Principal's excitement, Shi Youxuan still maintains an indifferent attitude, merely indicating she knows, and shows no further reaction.

"Aiya!"

The Principal stomps his feet in anger and turns to leave—"Bang!" The door is slammed shut loudly to express his dissatisfaction.

"Pfft!"

She covers her mouth and giggles.

At the school gate.

Several black Audi cars slowly drive up and stop.

Director Liu gets out first, personally opens the car door, and invites Mr. Jin and his wife to step out.

"Please, Jin Lao."

"Please, Madam."

The old couple got out of the car and began to look through the welcoming crowd...

Shi Youxuan was there, but she had been squeezed to the side.

In front were all the leaders from various circles and some masters of calligraphy and painting who had come for their reputation!

It is said that Jin Lao and his wife are very low-key; in the past, their itineraries when visiting relatives in Jiangzhou were always kept secret, and by the time everyone got the news, they would arrive to find nothing.

This time, it was not easy to know the news of their arrival in advance, and they were also going to visit the Elite School, so everyone came to the school gate to block them.

These people all had bigger names in the education sector than Shi Youxuan, so even though she was the Chairman of the school, she was not qualified to stand at the front of the welcoming line.

"Jin Lao, let me introduce you to..."

Bureau Chief Liu began to prepare introductions according to the ranks of these figures.

But he was interrupted mercilessly by Jin Lao: "Where are the school's Principal and Chairman?"

Bureau Chief Liu:...

He did not want Jin Lao and his wife to see Shi Youxuan at all.

If she performed well this time, then it would not be so easy for him to snatch the school away and put it under his own daughter's name.

He only took a glance at the front row and did not see them.

So he said offhandedly: "They are not here. You see, there are so many famous figures from Jiangzhou here to welcome you two today; let me introduce them to you..."

Before Bureau Chief Liu could finish his sentence, he was interrupted again by Jin Lao: "Your customs in Jiangzhou are a bit special; the way of ordering guests and hosts is not quite the same as in A Country."

The old lady took over the conversation: "We came to visit the school. Since the school's leaders are not here, then forget it."

The old couple turned around, preparing to return to the car.

Bureau Chief Liu was still very happy at this moment: "Then let us go take a look at Jiangzhou First School; that place is also very good."

Jin Lao: "No need, we are returning to our country. We shall meet again."

Bureau Chief Liu:...

Only then did he realize the seriousness of the matter.

This old couple could not be invited even if one tried, but yesterday he suddenly received a call from Jin Lao's Assistant, saying that Jin Lao and his wife would arrive in Jiangzhou early this morning and planned to visit the Elite School.

He asked if it was convenient for him?

Of course it was convenient.

He agreed immediately and then urgently notified everyone he wanted to notify, except for Shi Youxuan and the school!

Bureau Chief Liu had arranged everything for Jin Lao and his wife's food, housing, and transportation in Jiangzhou; he was so excited last night that he almost did not sleep, and he went to the airport early this morning to pick up Jin Lao and his wife.

He originally wanted the old couple to rest for a while at the hotel he had arranged, but the old couple did not agree and insisted on coming to the school first, so they came.

On the way here, he only then let his Secretary notify the Principal.

He even specifically instructed not to tell Shi Youxuan.

But the Principal said the Chairman was already at the school, and she would know even without being specifically told!

Bureau Chief Liu did not want Shi Youxuan to meet Jin Lao and his wife, and he repeatedly emphasized that the Principal and Shi Youxuan should stand to the side, leaving the center position for the big leaders.

The two were obedient enough, and the center position was indeed left open, but a mishap occurred here with Jin Lao!

Now that Jin Lao wanted to leave, he finally panicked.

"Where is the Principal? The school's Chairman, come to the front quickly." He shouted at the top of his lungs.

Shi Youxuan and the Principal came over.

Only then did Jin Lao and his wife turn back around, and both sides shook hands and exchanged pleasantries.

"Greetings, Jin Lao. Welcome to our school to provide guidance." The Principal's voice was trembling, and his hands were shaking uncontrollably with excitement.
