Chapter 215: Why Have You Fallen to This Point!

"Master, make a U-turn up ahead; I'm not going to Xiyue Garden."

Xiao Hui told a lie to Shao Jinbo.

In order to attend the dance tonight, she told Shao Jinbo that she was staying in the school dormitory.

It was already nearly two in the morning; if she returned to Xiyue Garden, she would definitely be found out by Shao Jinbo.

The taxi driver followed her instructions and made a U-turn up ahead.

Half an hour later, Xiao Hui arrived at the school dormitory.

She quickly finished washing up, then lay on the bed, carefully reviewing the events of the night in her mind.

Dancing with Tang Ye today made her feel as if she had returned to her school days.

However, deep down she knew that the innocence of their school days no longer existed between them.

Of course!

Fortunately, she had met Tang Ye.

If it had been someone else, even if she were unwilling in her heart, she would likely have held the other person's hand and played along with a humble attitude.

Being with Tang Ye, at least it wasn't awkward, nor was she repulsed.

Xiao Hui, oh Xiao Hui, why have you fallen to this point?

Aside from recalling the image of dancing arm-in-arm with Tang Ye, Xiao Hui thought more about how to act next.

She knew very well that she had encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Although Chen Ping was only a Section-level Cadre, he dealt directly with the leaders of the Municipal Education Bureau on a daily basis; as long as he was willing to help make a phone call, her wish would likely be fulfilled.

The next morning, after Xiao Hui finished her two classes and just stepped into the office, she saw the Principal walk in with a face full of smiles.

"Teacher Xiao, come to my office for a moment."

Xiao Hui followed the Principal into the office.

Ever since Shang Deyi had his incident, the Principal's attitude toward her had never been very good, but today he was all smiles and exceptionally kind.

"Teacher Xiao, I have always appreciated you. Being strict with you before was because I hoped you would strive to improve yourself. However, I'm afraid there won't be a chance in the future. This is a transfer letter sent by the Municipal Education Bureau to borrow you for work at the Municipal Education Bureau. You must seize this opportunity well."

Xiao Hui took the transfer letter from the Principal's hand, her eyes filled with undisguised surprise.

She never expected that after attending the dance last night, her wish would come true today.

"Thank you, Principal, for your constant care and concern," Xiao Hui said, letting out a slight sigh of relief. "Rest assured, before I leave the school, I will definitely finish my last shift well."

After all, there were still two weeks until summer vacation, so she could just finish her work as a Class Teacher for this school year, which could be considered a perfect ending to this experience.

A hint of a smile appeared in the Principal's eyes. "Once you reach the Municipal Education Bureau and stand on a higher platform, don't forget our school."

Xiao Hui hurriedly responded with a smile: "Rest assured, Principal. Although I am being borrowed, I am still a part of this school. If there are any policy movements in the future, I will definitely report them to you in a timely manner."

Watching Xiao Hui leave the office, a complex look flashed in the Principal's eyes.

One had to admit that Xiao Hui really had some ability.

Her fiancé had just had an incident, yet she turned around and made a connection to be transferred to the Municipal Education Bureau.

It truly lived up to the saying: once a woman loses her bottom line, it is easy for her to take shortcuts.

Xiao Hui found a quiet and secluded corner and raised her hand to dial Tang Ye's phone number.

The phone rang for a long time before Tang Ye finally picked up.

"Hello, is something the matter?" Tang Ye's voice came through the receiver, carrying a bit of business-like detachment.

"I wanted to thank you specifically," Xiao Hui said softly, her tone full of sincerity.

"Hmm? Thank me for what?" Tang Ye was confused and completely at a loss.

"I received the transfer order this morning; I'll be able to work at the Municipal Education Bureau in a while," Xiao Hui said, her tone full of gratitude. "Tang Ye, I misunderstood you before; you look cold, but you are actually warm-hearted."

Tang Ye understood instantly, knowing clearly that this must have been the result of Chen Ping operating behind the scenes.

"You misunderstood; this matter doesn't have much to do with me," Tang Ye hurriedly explained.

"No matter what, I must thank you properly. If it weren't for you, Section Chief Chen wouldn't have helped me voluntarily," Xiao Hui's voice was soft but firm. "I owe you a big favor. From now on, as long as you speak up, no matter what it is, I will definitely do my best to accomplish it."

Tang Ye's temples throbbed uncontrollably, and he hurriedly said: "I'm still in a meeting, let's not talk for now."

Hanging up the phone, Tang Ye pulled the corners of his mouth in frustration, secretly thinking: What does Xiao Hui take me for, saying things like that.

In the afternoon.

Xiao Hui specifically returned home early and carefully cooked a table full of rich dishes.

Shao Jinbo dragged his heavy footsteps into the house, looking listless and lifeless as always.

Xiao Hui tried hard to squeeze out a smile and said softly: "Honey, you've had a tiring day, right? Go wash your hands quickly; today I made your favorite braised shrimp."

A hint of surprise flashed in Shao Jinbo's eyes as he looked at Xiao Hui: "Yo, did the sun rise from the west today? Looking at your face full of joy, did you run into something good?"

Xiao Hui was all smiles, unable to hide her excitement: "You know me best. I received the transfer letter today; I'll be able to work at the Municipal Education Bureau in a while!"

Shao Jinbo was full of surprise, "This is too sudden!"

Xiao Hui had been prepared for this and explained calmly: "Uncle is still thinking of us. Although he arranged for you to be tempered at the grassroots level, he didn't forget to help me resolve the work transfer matter in secret."

Shao Jinbo seemed to accept this explanation, silently washed his hands, and sat down at the dining table to eat.

During the meal, Xiao Hui carefully peeled shrimp for Shao Jinbo.

However, halfway through eating, Shao Jinbo suddenly stopped his movements and asked out of the blue: "Where did you go last night?"

Xiao Hui's heart skipped a beat, but she kept a smile on her face and feigned composure: "Where could I go? I was just staying in the dormitory as usual."

Shao Jinbo suddenly raised his head, staring at Xiao Hui with fierce eyes, and snorted angrily:

"Hmph, you still dare to lie to me! I know all about you accompanying someone to dance last night.

I have worked at the Municipal Party Committee for these years, and I also have connections with people in the Municipal Government Secretariat.

You probably didn't expect that someone would send me a photo of you and a wild man embracing each other!"

It is impossible to tell from the photo that the man is Tang Ye.

Otherwise, Shao Jinbo would probably be angered to death!

Seeing her lie exposed, the smile on Xiao Hui's face vanished instantly, her expression turning cold:

"That's right, I did go out to socialize yesterday. But I dare say, I didn't do anything to betray you. As for you, how many times have you booked hotel rooms with Shen Sichun? Do you have a clear conscience toward me?"

Shao Jinbo was so angered by these words that he threw down his chopsticks and cursed furiously: "You still have the nerve to say that, you are simply shameless!"

Xiao Hui was surprisingly calm at this moment; she looked Shao Jinbo straight in the eyes and said indifferently: "If you want to call off the wedding, there is still time."

Shao Jinbo was trembling with rage, gritting his teeth as he said: "I must marry you! I will wear you down for the rest of my life, let's see who can outlast whom!"
