Chapter 68: "It looks like Lin Xi's parent is really some big shot." (2)

The principal looked awkwardly at Gu Shao. Finally, he stood up, bowed at Gu Shao, and said, “You are right, Mr. Gu. We should have handled the matter better. I apologize. If Gu Xi wants to transfer out, we will work with you to make that happen.”

Gu Shao still looked cold and hard, “I thank you in advance then.”

“In addition, I would like to see the untruthful words that attacked my daughter on the forum during her stay at your school removed completely,” added Gu Shao. “If you are not able to do that, I will be happy to help.”

The first half of his words was a request and the second half were blatant threat.

The principal’s face changed color when he heard Gu Shao’s words. He replied nervously, “No, that will not be necessary. We shall take care of that from our end.”

Things would probably be blown out of proportion if they had Gu Shao take care of this. And the school might get into other kinds of troubles.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Gu. I promise that we will get rid of them all and it would not affect Gu Xi in any way in the future.”

The school had addressed the issue of the scandals in the past and had made public announcements as well. This time, however, they might have to shut down the forum for quite a bit of time to have the matter completely taken care of.

When push came to shove, they might even have to announce who the culprit was.

But it was like he had a lot of options now.

The Lin family was powerful and has clout but, in comparison, Gu Shao, as the professor of A University and the CEO of NTN Technology Center, was much more influential to the school.

If he must choose between the two, it would doubtless be the latter.

***

Outside of the office.

Gu Xi, leaning up against the wall, had no idea what Gu Shao and the principal was talking about inside of the office. She was a little bored.

Right then, the classes were let out and two students who were bringing things to the teachers were coming toward the offices.

When Gu Xi had noticed them, they had spotted Gu Xi as well. They looked surprised when they recognized her.

Gu Xi’s heart sank a little and she reflexively wanted to hide.

But she stopped herself the very next second: Wait, why did she need to hide? She didn’t do anything wrong and she was not ashamed of herself. What reasons did she have to hide from others?

Having thought of that, she stood up properly outside of the principal’s office, her back straight and she looked calm. She did not dodge when she saw the other two looking her up and down curiously.

***

The two students walked in front of Gu Xi and toward the office of their class teacher.

Only after they were a distance from Gu Xi before the two exchanged a look, picked up their paces, and only started discussing about Gu Xi when they were even further away from her.

“Did I see it right? That was Lin Xi from 2A, right?”

The top student of her entire rank who was later on ostracized and avoided by others. She was surely a memorable existence.

“I think so.”

“Strange. We haven’t seen her in a while, right?”

“It was said that she was getting ready to study overseas.” Then the person shook his head as he was talking. “No, wait. Some said she was recovering from some illness as well.”

“So was she here at the principal office to complete her paperwork to study aboard or to return to school now that she had recovered from her illness?”

“I have no idea.”

***

When the two were gone, Gu Xi turned her attention back and continued to stare at the tip of her feet while she waited for Gu Shao.

She seemed a bit lonesome being all by herself in the hallway.

Finally, Gu Shao walked out from the principal’s office.

“Let’s go.”

“Oh?” Gu Xi recollected herself. “We are done?”

“Mmhmm.” Gu Shao nodded.

Gu Xi noticed that he had with him a file folder with him with stuff inside of it.

“What is that?” She asked curiously.

“Some stuff of yours that were not entered into your school record,” said Gu Shao. The principal had a teacher went and retrieved some duplicates of awards that Gu Xi had earned in the past and also some outstanding work and essays that the school had exhibited.

Gu Shao has yet to have a chance to look through them.

Gu Xi couldn’t think of anything right off the bat that was not yet in her student file. She nodded, somewhat perplexed, and followed behind Gu Shao.
