The more he thought about it, the more excited Xiao Liu became.
Principal Kong, on the other hand, remained unconvinced. “Don’t even think about it. Such a thing can never happen in No. 1 High School.”
In truth, the idea also appealed to Principal Kong. It was a great opportunity for the third years to improve their grades, after all.
And it did promise some very good results.
But if they pursued the idea, they would have to expose Yao Tangto the world.
He was worried enough as it was, thinking that someone might abduct her and use her to their advantage.
How could he bear to share her with the public any more than he already was?
If she slipped from his grasp, he would probably lament over the loss for the rest of his life.
No way!
He could not allow such a thing. He refused to even risk it.
“Let me make it clear to you right now. It would be best for you to drop the idea while it’s still early. I will never allow it, and I’m sure Yao Tangwouldn’t agree to it, either. She’s a very private person. I don’t think she would be willing to provide other people the opportunity to pick on her shortcomings.”
Although Xiao Liudidn’t sharePrincipal Kong’s thinking, he had no choice but to heed his superior’s orders.
Just as well, too, since they had yet to deal with the matter at hand.
“Then, what about this transfer student, Li Chen? What should we do?”
They didn’t want the boy to return to City Fempty-handed, for fear that they might lose face against their rival.
But they couldn’t risk him attending their school, either, since he would quickly realize that their teachers weren’t as impressive as they had expected.
It was quite a dilemma.
No matter which direction they took, they were bound to incur some losses.
And since Li Chen’s family was already aware ofYao Tang’s existence, it made the situation all the more tricky.
Principal Kong took out his phone and typed out a message: “Little Tang, did you conduct an online remedial lecture last night?”
Yao Tang didn’t reply.
After a few minutes of being antsy, Principal Kongcalled her number, only to hang up in the next second.
He didn’t know what to do.
He looked at Xiao Liu and barked, “Go find Yao Tang and tell her to reply to my message. Hurry up!”
The other man blinked in confusion. “Should I just bring her over?”
Principal Kong glared at him. “That won’t be necessary. Just tell her to give me a reply.”
“But… Classes are ongoing at the moment. I don’t think it’s a good idea to take her aside just for this.”
