The smile on her mother"s face disappeared as she glanced at Qin Hai. She then grabbed Zhou Yan"s hand and dragged her into the room before slamming the door shut.
Father Zhou looked extremely embarra.s.sed. He didn"t know what to say when facing Qin Hai. After being stunned for a while, he hurriedly took out a cigarette and handed it to Qin Hai. "Department Head Qin, smoke!"
"Thank you!"
Qin Hai took the cigarette, lit it, and sat back down on the sofa. His brows were tightly knitted as he silently thought of a countermeasure.
Judging from the current situation, the reason why Zhou Mother did not let Zhou Yan marry into the Indian Army was not because the Indian Army did not have a gift of five hundred thousand yuan and a house of one hundred square meters. It was not because of some disagreement, but because she still wanted Zhou Yan to marry that Xie Feng.
Glancing at the restless Mr Zhou beside him, Qin Hai smiled faintly and asked: "Princ.i.p.al Zhou, I heard that the old princ.i.p.al of No. 1 High School is about to retire. Has the selection for the new princ.i.p.al been decided?"
Uncle Zhou was stunned for a moment before shaking his head. He sat down across from Qin Hai and lit a cigarette. Unexpectedly, he coughed twice.
After a while, he sighed, raised his head and said to Qin Hai: "Department Head Qin, let me tell you the truth, the reason why Yanzi"s mother wants Yanzi to marry that Xie Feng is mainly because of me."
"Mm, go ahead!" Qin Hai took a drag on his cigarette and waited for Zhou to continue.
"Xie Feng"s father is the head of our Southern District"s Education Bureau. During this change, his father has the final say, so if I want to become the princ.i.p.al, then his father"s att.i.tude is of utmost importance."
Mr Zhou sighed and shook his head, saying, "Actually, that"s not the main point. I don"t mind not being the princ.i.p.al, but other than this, it also involves the construction of our young teachers" dormitory. There was an accident not long ago. It was raining heavily one night, and the rails of the dormitory that had just been repaired suddenly collapsed. A young teacher was killed on the spot. Although it is currently in the investigation phase, the final responsibility will most likely fall onto me. If this is really the case, then not only will I not be able to become the princ.i.p.al, but I might even end up in jail for my current position. "
Qin Hai frowned, "President Zhou, do you know who was the main culprit behind this incident?"
Princ.i.p.al Zhou said with a wry smile, "Actually, everyone knows about this matter. The builder who built the dormitory was that Xie Feng. They used inferior raw materials and made a lot of money from the middle, which resulted in a serious quality problem." However, because Xie Feng"s father was the head of the Education Bureau, no one would dare to say anything about this matter. The final responsibility for this could only fall within our school, and as I am the vice princ.i.p.al responsible for the school"s logistics, the responsibility could very likely fall on me. "
Qin Hai frowned and asked, "So you want Zhou Yan to marry Xie Feng, first, you can keep your current position, and second, you still have a chance to go further?" Have you considered Zhou Yan"s feelings before you do this? Marry someone she doesn"t like and she might never be happy in her entire life! "
Mr Zhou sighed, "I also don"t want her to marry that Xie Feng, but since her mother insisted on doing so, there was nothing I could do about it."
At that moment, the phone in Qin Hai"s pocket rang. He took it out and saw that it was from Bai Ruyan. Only then did Qin Hai remember his appointment with Bai Ruyan to meet with Zhao Pu at the stable.
After he picked up the phone, Bai Ruyan"s coquettish voice came over: "My great Division Minister Qin, how long will it take for you to come? We"ve been waiting for you for almost half an hour!"
Qin Hai looked at the time and saw that it was indeed past half an hour. He was sweating as he apologized, "Sorry, sorry, I had some urgent matters at No.1 Middle School in the south of the city. I can"t leave now, tell Zhao Pu on my behalf that I will arrange to meet him again another day."
Bai Ruyan chuckled, "If anything happens, can I help?"
"It"s nothing important, but I"m afraid I won"t be able to go to your place today!"
"Sure!"
After hanging up the phone, Qin Hai thought for a while before saying to Zhou Quan, "Princ.i.p.al Zhou, if I asked you to write a detailed report on the quality of the dorm, would you dare to write it?"
Father Zhou was stunned for a moment. He did not understand what Qin Hai meant.
Qin Hai laughed, "I know the city"s leaders. As long as you hand this report to me, I can guarantee that it will be handed directly to the city"s leaders. Nothing will go wrong."
"This …"
Mr Zhou understood what Qin Hai meant, but he appeared to be hesitant. After all, this was no small matter. Furthermore, he did not know much about Qin Hai. He did not know if what he said was true or not. If something went wrong, he would run the risk of offending the head of the Education Bureau.
Just then, the door of the room opened. Mrs. Zhou walked out with a straight face and stared coldly at Qin Hai, "Department Head Qin, thank you for taking care of our family"s affairs, but you don"t have to worry about it. "Please go back and tell the Indian Army not to look for our Swallow family anymore, because the Swallow will soon be married."
It seemed like Zhou Yan had been convinced by her mother!
Qin Hai frowned and stood up saying, "Auntie, what I said was true. I know Deputy Mayor Liu who is in charge of education in the city. If President Zhou writes a detailed report, I can personally hand it to Mayor Liu. If you don"t believe me, I can also lead Princ.i.p.al Zhou directly to Mayor Liu and have him report this matter to Mayor Liu in person. "
Father Zhou"s eyes lit up. He seemed to think that Qin Hai"s idea was pretty good. But before he could say anything, his mother gave him a glare and immediately shut her mouth.
Mother Zhou sneered, "Department Head Qin, I"ve already said it before, you don"t have to worry about our family matters. If there"s nothing else, please go back. There will be guests arriving at our house soon. "
Qin Hai was not even a customer in this woman"s eyes!
Qin Hai had tolerated this woman for a long time. He had already said it so bluntly, but he never thought that this woman would still not forget to marry his own daughter to that Xie Feng. His temper immediately flared up, and he coldly snorted: "Today, I have really opened my eyes, today, for the first time, seeing my parents who want to push their daughter into a pit of fire. "Since that"s the case, we shall wait and see. I would actually like to see if you can get what you want!"
With that, he left the Zhou Mansion without looking back.
Mother Zhou was so angered by Qin Hai"s last sentence that her entire body trembled. However, Father Zhou quickly caught up to him and sent him out the door.
After closing the door, Mr Zhou complained to Mrs Zhou, "They did it for our own good. Why do you think you"re giving them face? "Also, he said that he can take me to see Vice Mayor Liu. This is a rare opportunity, if it"s really like this, then we don"t have to be afraid!"
"You"re just a fool!"
Mother Zhou glared at her father and roared, "You think you can knock Xie Wenrui down with just this?" What do you plan on doing if you can"t overturn him? How can that Vice Mayor Liu continue to interfere in your affairs? What"s more, wouldn"t it be a hundred times better for Yanzi to marry that Xie Feng than for the Indian Army? Just a mere little security minister like him actually said that he knows the deputy mayor? How could you believe this kind of bullsh * t?! No wonder you"ve only gotten yourself a vice princ.i.p.al in your entire life! "
Father Zhou: "…"
Outside the door, Qin Hai frowned and walked down the stairs.
Just as he walked out of the corridor, he suddenly heard the sound of a car approaching quickly.
Soon after, a yellow Ferrari sports car stopped beside his Land Rover. After the car door opened, a familiar figure came out. Chapter error, point this report (registered free)
