Chapter 78 New Student Starting School
At the school gate, a Mercedes-Benz car was parked across the road.
Through the peep-proof brown glass, Shang Yan’s gaze was gentle as he watched Qu Xiao follow the dean of the Academic Affairs Office to the teaching building. When she walked out of his sight, he retracted his gaze and instructed the driver, “Go to the company.”
“CEO Shang, you arranged for Li to decline the group’s weekly meeting. Why didn’t you personally send Madam to school?”
“She would definitely want you to accompany her.” The driver looked at Shang Yan in the rearview mirror and asked with some confusion. However, he quickly realized that he was speaking carelessly, “I’m sorry, CEO Shang. I didn’t mean to pry into your privacy.”
Shang Yan flipped through the documents on the tablet and replied calmly, “Because I don’t like to say goodbye.”
He hated the atmosphere of separation. Thus, he decide not to send her to school.
In the principal’s office, Qu Xiao sat in front of him. The principal could not help but put on a distressed expression as he flipped through the previous years’ report cards that she had handed over.
“Qu Xiao, you should know that our school has a requirement for the students’ grades. You really…”
The principal used his fingertips to poke at the few failed courses on the report card. He was deliberating on his words, trying to persuade her to reconsider studying at the school.
Qu Xiao’s admission was handled by Shang Xinchen. The school did not know that she was Shang Yan’s wife. They only thought that she was an ordinary female student who had used her connections to get into the school, and that naturally, she was not studious.
The principal coughed lightly and said, “I think you should think about it again. Otherwise, it will very likely affect our enrollment rate.”
Qu Xiao raised her head and looked at him with a cold expression.
“According to the enrollment procedure, I have already been accepted by the school and I have also already gone through all required procedures. There shouldn’t be any reasonable reason to reject my admission,
right?”
“Schools are places for education. Schools should treat every student fairly and not be biased.”
“Even if my grades aren’t ideal, I still have the right to study. If you want to reject my application, I might have to complain to the relevant departments and request for legal assistance.”
“You probably don’t want this to become a big situation and have the school’s reputation affected, right?”
Qu Xiao was extremely overbearing. The sound of applause suddenly came from the quiet room.
The two of them looked in the direction of the sound at the same time. Qu Xiao was surprised to see a familiar face. “Miss Zhang?”
Miss Zhang held a document and handed it to the principal. She looked at Qu Xiao with admiration in her eyes and immediately said to the principal, ‘This student will be in my class, right? I assure you that her grades will not affect the school’s reputation and year-end assessment.”
The principal was speechless. He waved his hand in agreement in an extremely perfunctory manner.
Qu Xiao followed Miss Zhang out of the principal’s office. She wanted to thank her, but she heard her say, “I’m very happy to see you back on campus.”
“You were totally right just now! You are very smart. As long as you work hard, you will be able to get good results. Although the third year will be very hard, I will do my best to help you. You don’t need to feel inferior. A bad result is not something to be ashamed of.”
Miss Zhang patted Qu Xiao’s shoulder lightly. “You can do it!”
Qu Xiao glanced at the hand that was pressing on her shoulder and explained awkwardly, “That’s not my real grade…”
“I understand.”
Miss Zhang obviously didn’t believe her, but she gave her a comforting look and pushed open the classroom door, “Be quiet for a moment. Let me introduce to everyone the classmate who has just transferred to our class this semester, Qu Xiao.”
The originally noisy classroom suddenly quieted down. All the students’ gazes were focused on Qu Xiao.
Qu Xiao was bright and beautiful. The male students’ gazes were all glued to her graceful figure. The female students were instead whispering amongst themselves, “She’s so beautiful!”
“She looks a little like Qu Qi, but her figure is better than Qu Qi’s. Are they sisters?”
When Qu Qi heard their discussion, she felt that the attention and halo that originally belonged to her had shifted to Qu Xiao. She looked at Qu Xiao with increasing hatred.
