Chapter 391: Principal Han has arrived! (3)

Halfway through the second period, Han Feiyi and four other girls were called out to the playground to run as punishment.

Class teacher Yang Jianli stood on the playground watching them run, counting the laps they ran, and at the same time, taking advantage of Huo Mingshan’s absence with his students, she earnestly advised Han Feiyi and the others to keep their tempers in check.

At that time, Han Feiyi and the others were particularly bad-tempered, with five sullen faces, and they wouldn’t even give the class teacher a good look.

Even though Yang Jianli was earnestly reasoning with them, telling them to hold their anger for a moment and not to get a demerit for such a trivial matter.

Such a record in the student files really didn’t look good, moreover, Han Feiyi was the principal’s daughter.

Getting a demerit for such an incident, where would that leave the principal’s dignity?

Yang Jianli was aware that this time the fault was major on the part of Han Feiyi and her group, and though Pu Sangzhi and the others might have minor faults, at least they showed attitude.

Huo Mingshan didn’t seem very eager to quibble over this matter either, and if it could be settled through a letter of self-criticism and mutual acknowledgment of wrongdoing, the consequence could have been properly resolved.

Therefore, Yang Jianli naturally hoped to downplay the incident, that’s why she took the initiative to punish the five girls and called them out to the playground to run.

Unfortunately, whether or not the girls took Yang Jianli’s words to heart, Yang Jianli had no way of knowing...

All she knew was that Han Feiyi didn’t heed her at all...

As Han Feiyi and the four girls ran past Yang Jianli, they began to whisper among themselves where Yang Jianli couldn’t hear them...

Cai Yiwen asked Han Feiyi, "Feiyi, should we listen to the class teacher and apologize after we finish running?"

The usually boisterous Cai Yiwen had started to lose her nerve.

After all, even Cai Yiwen, however foolish, didn’t want to get punished because of Han Feiyi’s issues.

Bear in mind that a punishment was the least of it; the class teacher would have to call the parents.

Once the parents knew about such a thing, in any family, there would be an inevitable scene...

Therefore, the four girls, excluding Han Feiyi, were feeling timid, not daring to make a fuss or be stubborn.

Only Han Feiyi was still being obstinate and stubborn, "You apologize if you want, but I won’t. Why should I be the only one apologizing? It was clear they badmouthed me first, they were the villains! I won’t admit it!"

The more Yang Jianli punished Han Feiyi, the more stubborn she became, refusing to back down!

Han Feiyi saw herself as someone who understood the bigger picture and was sensible. The reason she did such a thing this time was that she had been pushed to the brink!

Last night...

She remembered the effort she put into canvassing for votes last night, which was exhausting and utilized all her methods!

She even ran up and down in the second-year dormitory to canvass votes, giving out many red envelopes and snacks... In the end, the vote count was still more than 20 less than Sangzhi’s!

It was the most humiliating night of her life!

Lying in bed, she was so angry that she couldn’t even close her eyes, resenting Pu Sangzhi’s tactics and envying Pu Sangzhi for having Huo Feng canvassing for her!

Right...

Yesterday, Han Feiyi had even sought out first-year juniors to canvass votes, but one after another they said that almost all the first-year votes had already been canvassed by Huo Feng...

Thinking about how hard she tried, she strived so much for this, and Pu Sangzhi only needed to reap the rewards! With just Huo Feng’s help, she could surpass her!

Han Feiyi was simply green with envy, so angry that her lungs were trembling...

She didn’t sleep well all night, her spirit on the verge of collapsing...

In such a state, in the cafeteria, she even ran into Pu Sangzhi and her group laughing at her behind her back...

Zhu Dandan said she went crazy canvassing for votes and still couldn’t surpass Pu Sangzhi...

Heaven knows! These words were such a humiliation and blow to Han Feiyi! They were the last straw that broke Han Feiyi’s crumbling composure! It was Han Feiyi’s reverse scale!

So, Han Feiyi was very angry!

Nobody knew how imbalanced Han Feiyi felt inside! How jealous! How green with envy!

Nobody knew...

That’s why they could easily step back, but Han Feiyi couldn’t do it!

Han Feiyi felt that Pu Sangzhi had taken too many things from her, far too many...

This whole high school period, she would never forgive Pu Sangzhi, nor reconcile with her!

Just like now, she couldn’t accept the fact that only their group had to apologize...

To apologize to Pu Sangzhi one-sidedly, she couldn’t do it!

...

While Han Feiyi and the others were running on the playground, in the teacher’s office of the first-year teaching building, Huo Mingshan and the Pu Sangzhi trio were waiting quietly and chatting.

From the office’s window looking out towards the playground, the silhouettes of the five girls running could be seen...

Huo Mingshan glanced at the scene on the playground and, with a finger raised in disdain, commented, "Look at that, these students are so hard to teach. If a class had a group like this, wouldn’t it drive the class teacher to go bald?"

Pu Sangzhi, Wen Miao, and Zhu Dandan pursed their lips upon hearing the words, surprised at the sudden joke from Huo Mingshan... they all found it unexpected.

"It’s still better with you guys."

Huo Mingshan nodded with a sense of wistfulness, "You’re the most laid-back tier of students I’ve ever taught. Each one of you is well-behaved, understands the larger picture, and knows moderation. Plus, with Wu Beilei being so smart and clever, and my proud right-hand helper. If every student were like you, how much easier my teaching career would be..."

As he spoke, Huo Mingshan couldn’t help but think about stroking his hair. But when his hand reached for his toupee, he suddenly remembered it was a wig!

No, no, no...

Protect the scalp...

Protect the image...

He immediately stopped the hair-stroking motion...

Come to think of it...

If Huo Mingshan had such a delightful bunch of students throughout his teaching career, he would not have gone bald so early.

It was said his father started balding at 50...

But Huo Mingshan was a young baldy, all thanks to those students and his damn son who infuriated him...

Forget it, let’s not dwell on this upsetting topic anymore.

Huo Mingshan raised his head to address Pu Sangzhi and the other two, "When those five return, if they show good remorse and write a new self-critique, and you all forgive each other, then let it be. We can’t blow this out of proportion. If it escalates, both sides will get demerits. You’re sensible, I trust you are more magnanimous than they."

Pu Sangzhi, Zhu Dandan, and Wen Miao nodded one after another, "Okay, teacher."

Huo Mingshan sighed, "This time, you were the ones wronged. But we should not stoop to the level of petty people."

The three nodded again, "Yes, teacher."

The five girls were nearly done running laps.

The second period was about to end, and Huo Mingshan was simply waiting for them to come back and comfortably resolve the issue and let it pass...

Out of the blue, a high-ranking official made a visit to the office!

"Knock knock..."

The door of the teacher’s office was knocked on twice...

Huo Mingshan and Pu Sangzhi and the other two turned their heads to look at the door, and abruptl saw the principal, Han Guobang, standing there in a suit and tie!

"Principal Han..."

Huo Mingshan quickly stood up, greeting Han Guobang with the utmost respect, "Come in, please take a seat."

"No rush..."

Han Guobang scanned the office, didn’t see Han Feiyi, and then stepped in. "Has the issue with Feiyi been taken care of?"

Huo Mingshan hurriedly pulled up a chair, welcoming Han Guobang with utmost courtesy, "Principal Han, it’s almost taken care of. Teacher Yang took them to the playground for punishment. They’ll come back shortly, and after rewriting a self-critique and making peace with my students by shaking hands, it’ll be over. After all, it was just a minor scuffle between students; I think it’s better to be lenient."

"Yes, let’s be lenient."

Han Guobang took a seat, his eyes immediately catching sight of several written apologies on the table. He casually picked them up and started reading...

Meanwhile, Huo Mingshan was busy making tea, warmly entertaining Han Guobang.

Han Guobang glanced at Huo Mingshan’s back and said straightforwardly, "Don’t rush, I’ll be leaving soon as there’s a meeting later. Besides, I’m not here to deal with this matter; I just wanted to hear what happened. I trust you can handle it well."

"Principal Han, please have some tea first."

Huo Mingshan carried over the tea and offered it to Han Guobang.

Han Guobang took it with one hand and placed it on a side table, continuing to read the self-criticisms.

On the side, Pu Sangzhi and the others watched him nervously, not daring to speak.

Han Guobang skimmed two of the apology letters, getting a general idea of the sequence of events, realizing these girls had caused a fight in the cafeteria, creating a negative reaction. But he was not very clear on the cause of the incident...

Just as he was about to ask Huo Mingshan in detail, the bell signaling the end of class rang inside the campus.

The sound of "ring, ring, ring" coincided with the return of Han Feiyi and the others. Suddenly, everything collided at once, and the situation began to get complicated...

After completing their punishment, a breathless Han Feiyi and her group returned to the teacher’s office. Instantly, everyone was shocked to see Principal Han in the office!

Not only Han Feiyi’s entourage but her homeroom teacher and some First-Year teachers who had just finished their classes... all were startled by the appearance of Han Guobang!

All of a sudden, the teachers hesitated to enter the office, one by one they turned and left, silently leaving the space to them.

Only Han Feiyi seemed to see her father as a savior.

"Daddy..."

Han Feiyi immediately rushed over, her little hand resting on Han Guobang’s shoulder, her eyes instantly filling with tears of grievance...
