From Sidekick to Bigshot

Following this, a member of the Board walked through the door. This person was familiar to the Head of Teaching.

He was a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance.

After a brief introduction, the Head of Teaching completely accepted the fact that Zhai Yunsheng had become a member of the Board at their school.

The Head of Teaching completely changed his attitude. He smiled kindly at Zhai Yunsheng before he spoke:

“Oh, it’s Director Zhai. Apologies for my actions earlier on. I assumed that you were here to cause trouble. I failed to recognize who you were. I must be stupid!”

Zhai Yunsheng completely ignored the Head of Teaching.

Instead, he looked at Jian Yiling before asking, “Were you reprimanding her just now?”

“Yes. This girl is a student at our school. Her actions are not proper and she does things that are not good for her. She’s also damaging the reputation of the school.”

The Head of Teaching didn’t think much of his words. The only thing that he was thinking about was how to protect the school’s reputation. He spoke as though he cared about the student’s future.

“Not proper,” Zhai Yunsheng mused as he repeated the Head of Teaching’s comment. “That’s quite nice of you to say. You’re giving a young girl who is only fifteen years old such a comment.”

The smile on Zhai Yunsheng’s face gradually diminished. His eyes grew cold.

When Yu Xi saw Zhai Yunsheng’s eyes, he couldn’t help the chill that went down his spine.

However, Yu Xi wasn’t at all sympathetic for the Head of Teaching.

He didn’t know much about other things. But such a comment of ‘not proper’ had already given him a bad impression of the Head of Teaching.

It was fine for the Head of Teaching to care for the school’s reputation. Furthermore, it was fair for him to criticize and reprimand problematic students.

However, that was if he had the evidence to back his words up.

The only so-called evidence that he had was a photo and a ‘vivid and colorful’ description. He had drawn his conclusion off a post on the school forum.

And thus, he had decided to accuse Jian Yiling just because he had a bad impression of her. He had decided to convict a student without any evidence. He hadn’t even given her the benefit of the doubt.

It was ridiculous to think about.

Zhai Yunsheng glanced at the man who had just walked in. “Fire the Head of Teaching.”

The man’s attitude towards Zhai Yunsheng was exceptionally respectful, “This decision has to be made at a Board meeting. However, it most likely can be done.”

Master Sheng was not an ordinary member of the Board. If he wanted to fire the Head of Teaching, most of the other Board members would agree to this.

“Then go and prepare for the meeting,” Zhai Yunsheng said. He wasn’t bothered to say anything else.

“Yes, yes. I’ll arrange for it as soon as possible,” the man said. Then, he turned around to tell the Head of Teaching, “For now, you’re suspended from your duties. Please wait for the Board’s announcement.”

The Head of Teaching was quite confused at the series of events that had happened before him, “Wait, why? What’s going on? I… Did I do something wrong? Was it because I didn’t recognize Master Sheng as a member of the Board? Is that why? I don’t think there’s anything wrong with how I acted just now!”

The Head of Teaching started to argue. He didn’t want to accept the arrangements that had been made.

He didn’t feel like he did anything wrong. Although he sensed Zhai Yunsheng’s fierce anger, he still desperately tried to defend himself.

“Why did Shenghua High School hire a deaf and blind person to be the Head of Teaching?” Zhai Yunsheng asked. His voice was filled with sarcasm.

“Who are you calling deaf and blind?!” The Head of Teaching had never been insulted in such a way before.

Zhai Yunsheng pointed at Jian Yiling who was still standing in front of him. “You’re calling such a baby girl not proper. You must be blind to say that.”

Jian Yiling frowned when she heard Zhai Yunsheng call her a baby girl. She spoke up in a quiet voice, “I’m not a baby girl.”

However, her retort had gotten ignored by Zhai Yunsheng.

Following this, Zhai Yunsheng pointed at the other member of the Board. “Tell the security guards to remove this man from the school. He doesn’t belong here.”

The member of the Board quickly did what he was told.

When the security guards came in, the Head of Teaching was dumbfounded.

Not long ago, he was the Head of Teaching. Back then, he was the one asking someone else to leave.

And now, he was the one who was being asked to leave.
