196 196 A Loving Father
Tan Rou couldn’t help but applaud Tan Jing in her heart. As expected of a white lotus b*tch, Tan Jing could still maintain her cool.
Tan Jing was still a little fl.u.s.tered in the cla.s.sroom just now, but now, in front of the princ.i.p.al, she had elevated the problem to a higher moral level. Tan Jing was doing it for her own good, and she was giving Tan Rou a chance to prove herself to the whole school!
Tan Rou stood at the side and was not in a hurry. She watched Tan Jing dig her own grave with a smile.
The princ.i.p.al also heard something fishy. He glanced at Tan Rou first before looking at Tan Jing thoughtfully. “I still don’t know your name.”
Tan Jing straightened her back slightly. “My name is Tan Jing. Princ.i.p.al, you can just call me Jingjing. My father just spoke to you on the phone.” She stood in a tall posture that showed that she was the highly young miss of the Tan family.
The princ.i.p.al smiled meaningfully. “Oh! You’re Tan Jing!”
Tan Jing felt even more proud. The princ.i.p.al must have heard of her. Last time, she was almost exposed because of Director w.a.n.g and Wei Ling. The princ.i.p.al even found Chen Yi and Tan Song and lectured them over the phone.
However, her father had said that he would handle this matter. If the princ.i.p.al didn’t know what he was supposed to do, it would be better for someone else to be in his position.
Looking at the princ.i.p.al’s meaningful smile now, his father must have bribed him. In exchange for more benefits, he had made things difficult for the Tan family last time.
The princ.i.p.al chuckled. “I know you. You’re Tan Song’s daughter. I’ve talked to your father on the phone, but it looks like it wasn’t enough. Your father called me back and chatted with me for a long time. Really… Your father really loves you.”
Tan Jing was proud of herself. She knew that her father would definitely be able to settle everything. After spending some money, even the princ.i.p.al had a different att.i.tude toward her now!
The last time, he was lecturing about how there would be no special privileges, but now he was smiling brightly at Tan Jing. He was also a person who took advantage of the situation. Tan Rou is dead this time!
However, Tan Rou, watching from the side, felt that the princ.i.p.al was smiling insincerely as if he was angry. Although he was smiling, his eyes were cold. The words ‘love his daughter’ were also said strangely. It didn’t sound good, but Tan Jing didn’t feel it. She was already on cloud nine.
It was funny to say that Tan Song was a father who loved his daughter.
Even if he really went to the princ.i.p.al to pull some strings, it was probably for his own laughable reputation. His daughter was not important. His ultimate goal was to make everyone respect him, remember his good deeds, and make things easy for him.
Tan Rou’s eyes were really sharp.
The princ.i.p.al was indeed furious. Out of his duty, he had invited the Tan family’s parents to the school for a discussion. Not only did the two of them not come, but they also acted perfunctorily and arrogantly when the princ.i.p.al called. The princ.i.p.al did not take it to heart. Education was not omnipotent, and no one in the Tan family could be sensible. After the princ.i.p.al finished his task and ended the call, he no longer wanted to speak to them.
However, who would have thought that Tan Song would call back after hanging up the phone for a while? His att.i.tude was the complete opposite of his arrogant att.i.tude from before. He chatted with the princ.i.p.al enthusiastically. The more the princ.i.p.al listened, the more he felt something was wrong. He asked Tan Song what else he wanted. Only then did Tan Song vaguely mention that he would donate another building to the school to help the princ.i.p.al.
The princ.i.p.al was so angry that he laughed. So, Tan Song thought that he was deliberately looking for trouble with them to gain some benefit.
This man even called him and said nonsense, but Tan Song was only looking for his weakness and wanted to use it to control him.
The princ.i.p.al didn’t want to waste more time and directly rejected him.
As a result, Tan Song flew into a rage out of humiliation. He directly scolded the princ.i.p.al on the phone and immediately found someone to take over the princ.i.p.al.
The princ.i.p.al wasn’t afraid of him at all. “Try me if you can,” the princ.i.p.al replied. Then, he hung up the phone.
Talking to such a person for another second was an insult to the ears.
The princ.i.p.al was a veteran who had been transferred to the Ministry of Education for years. He had worked hard for most of his life and should have long retired like Old master Lu. It was because he was unwilling to accept his old age and loved the education industry that the director of the Ministry of Education invited him to be the princ.i.p.al of this particular school. Who would dare to replace such a person?
Moreover, although the princ.i.p.al had been honest and upright for many years, he had a military background and had been in the education industry for many years. He had students from all over the world. Even the minister of education had to call him his teacher when he saw him. Who would dare to agree to replace him?
Tan Song was so arrogant that he became ignorant. He didn’t even do his research and ask around about who the princ.i.p.al was. He only knew that the princ.i.p.al used to be a soldier, but he did not know that the princ.i.p.al had such a strong background.
