Chapter 638: Power and Responsibility

Shangguan Ning thought that Zhao Anan was surprised, so she consoled her instantly. “Don’t worry. He may be injured right now and can’t do anything bad at the moment. He may not look for you so don’t worry. Yichen will surely catch him.”

But her consolation did not work. With a bitter face, Zhao Anan said regretfully, “Oh, my dear sister-in-law, what you don’t know is that when we were on blind date that day, I had no idea who he was. So I put a blade on his neck, and tried to rob him!”

Shangguan Ning’s eyes widened. “Rob him?!”

How could Zhao Anan be so impulsive?

Also, what was she doing robbing her blind date? Had she been driven mad by poverty?

“Also, I turned him down with all kinds of excuses. I said that he was old and had a child. I gave him no face! Do you think that he would hold that grudge and kill me when he gets the chance? Oh no, what should I do? I am so done for! It was my first blind date and I ran into such a maniac. I must hide myself, I must!”

Shangguan Ning turned speechless.

This was indeed Zhao Anan’s style!

And Tang Shunian would surely take revenge, because he was so narrow-minded. It would be normal for him to take revenge.

But he did not have time to care about Zhao Anan right now who was not important in the larger scheme of things. His priority would be getting even with Jing Yichen if he had the energy. Hence, Zhao Anan was currently safe.

Shangguan Ning patted Zhao Anan’s back and said with a smile, “Alright, alright, don’t worry, you are not that important in his eyes at the moment. He would not run around right now. Just take care of yourself! Or, let your cousin get you some more bodyguards.”

Zhao Anan found it to be a good idea, so she wiped her tears in an exaggerated manner. “You are a good sister-in-law. I was right to hook you up with my cousin. Noone else would be concerned about me like you are.”

Shangguan Ning raised her eyebrows. “Ha? So I was a part of your plan? Bah, Zhao Anan, I don’t want to be your friend anymore!”

Hearing that she had used the wrong words, she kept moving her hand over Shangguan Ning’s arm and forced herself to smile sweetly and shyly. “Don’t! My command over Chinese was never good. Don’t take my words so seriously!”

Shangguan Ning was joking. She could never be angry at Zhao Anan. She changed the topic and started asking her about her life as the principal.

“Is it better to be a principal than a teacher?”

Zhao Anan said passionately, “Of course being a teacher is better. It is just a matter of giving lectures. Everything apart from invigilating a class and grading papers is great!”

Shangguan Ning laughed. It seemed that without comparison, she would never have realized how happily she had lived earlier.

Zhao Anan used to complain about being a teacher when she had to face so many students. She did not like seeing such a huge crowd, so she always got annoyed when she got interrupted by some students.

Now that she was finding her previous days to be relaxing, it meant that she was under huge pressure at the moment.

“Of course a teacher has less work load, but haven’t you forgotten that we as teachers can get fired whenever the principal gets annoyed? We have no rights to do anything. I think that being a principal is better, because you can fire anyone!”

Zhao Anan, of course, had not forgotten about it. She nodded her head. “Yes, yes, I have great power now. Many people come to my doorstep with presents. Min was a bastard! He could have kept us back then easily. But he fired us, instead. That damned man deserves to die!”

Zhao Anan’s superior living style made sure that she never liked any of the presents given to her, but that did not mean that everyone could be like her, turning down the presents.

Principal Min must have accepted expensive presents back then, so as to fire them without hesitation.

Shangguan Ning also missed being a teacher, because that was the rare period of peace after she came back from the foreign country. That was also when she got to know Zhao Anan and Jing Yichen.

But her life had changed now. She had a husband and a son to look after. Those who needed to be punished, had been punished, and she was feeling calm on the inside.

She mentioned the earlier events because she was trying to remind Zhao Anan that being a teacher might have advantages, but then so did being a principal. She had finally found a firm position in the society.

Power was a great thing, which many people tried to gain.

Zhao Anan was not obsessed with power, but it was better to have some than none.

Also, Principal Min was now her subordinate. He must be holding a lot of grudges against her.

Zhao Anan started to laugh happily the next moment. “Oh, by the way, the most delightful thing after I become a principal is that the bastard has to greet me politely whenever he meets me. But I ignore him all the time and even pick on him. I cast doubts upon his decisions. His face is so twisted every day! Poor Min.”

Shangguan Ning laughed as well. Zhao Anan was not someone who could be bullied easily. She might not be deviousy, but she always had enough ideas up her sleeve to trouble people. She was born to think like this. Principal Min must be suffering a great deal right now.

“Serves him right!” Zhao Anan cursed. “That old bastard has done a great deal of immoral stuff behind our back. He not only sleeps around with teachers, but flirts with young girls as well! He lies to the girl students that he can guarantee jobs to them after graduation and they all fall for his trap!”

Shangguan Ning had already heard about this news when she was a teacher but Principal Min had a powerful backing at the time. He had refused to admit to all charges and those girls who had been fooled, had no way out. That was why Min had remained in the position all the way until now.

“Haha, I am not scared of him, though everyone else might be. He has no way to deal with me, even though he has eyes upon me every day. I am very discreet.”

Shangguan Ning looked at Zhao Anan in astonishment. So she had learnt to be discreet now after just a couple of days?
