Chapter 84: The Director’s Apology

“What? You want me to apologize in public?! That’s impossible! I definitely won’t…” Wang Qiang was triggered by Mo Zhu’s calm words. He hurriedly refused it.

“Then let’s do as Ms. Mo says. Director Wang, if you don’t want to apologize, then Jingyang High School won’t be able to continue having you!”

Being threatened by Elder Xu, Wang Qiang instantly lowered his head and replied with a trembling voice, “Yes, I’ll announce the list of scholarships this time in a while and personally go to Class Eight to apologize to that girl named Meng Ran.”

Seeing that the matter had been resolved peacefully, Li Xiao did not want his students to continue getting involved in these matters. He waved his hand at the door and politely greeted the principal. Then, he brought Mo Zhu and the others safely back to Class Eight.

Once they entered the class, everyone except Mo Zhu heaved a sigh of relief. Everyone looked at Mo Zhu with even more admiration than before. Sister Mo was indeed the elder sister of the entire Class Eight. Even when facing the powerful school leader, Sister Mo was not to be outdone!

When Jiang Xun saw Meng Ren sitting in her seat revising in a daze, looking like she didn’t know what had happened, Jiang Xun quickly walked over to the girl and patted Meng Ran’s shoulder with force.

“Meng Ran, why didn’t you go and fight Director Wang with Sister Mo just now? What Sister Mo had done today was for you. You should really go and see Old Wang’s ugly and unhappy face!”

Meng Ran was about to turn around and curse after being hit so hard on the shoulder by Jiang Xun, but before she could even speak, she heard him say something that she did not understand.

“Jiang Xun, are you sick? Why did you hit me for no reason? Besides that, all of you came back a few minutes after I arrived in the classroom. How would I know what Sister Mo brought all of you along for just now?”

Meng Ran’s tone was also very anxious. This Jiang Xun had no control of his strength when he hit others. Her shoulders were probably going to swell up when she returned home tonight!

Jiang Xun was scolded for no reason at all, and just as he was about to open his mouth in embarrassment to explain, he was warned by Mo Zhu’s cold gaze.

He sighed silently. Alright, he could not afford to offend either of them. Sister Mo was a true big shot, and Meng Ran was a deskmate who was spoiled by the big shot. Since he could not afford to offend her, he would just avoid her.

With this thought in mind, Jiang Xun drooped his head and didn’t continue talking to Meng Ran. He directly walked back to his seat and sat down obediently.

After being tormented for the entire morning, Mo Zhu was also tired. As soon as she returned to her seat, she laid on the table and prepared to sleep.

Meng Ran quietly leaned towards the girl’s ear with a confused expression. “Sister Mo, where did you go just now? Is there anything I don’t know?”

“No, what’s the hurry? You’ll know what you should know sooner or later.” Mo Zhu raised her eyelids and gave Meng Ran an unfathomable look. Then, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Meng Ran trusted Mo Zhu a lot. Since Sister Mo had said so, she did not probe any further. Just let nature take its course!

The first lesson of the morning was Duan Xu’s physics class.

For some reason, he had a feeling that all of Class Eight’s students were rather excited today. Hence, when the bell rang, he did not dare to stay in the classroom for a second longer. After packing the teaching materials up, Duan Xu quickly returned to the office.

Five minutes later, under the expectant gazes of everyone, Director Wang arrived at the entrance of Class Eight as promised.

Wang Qiang raised his hand and knocked on the door. Under everyone’s hopeful gazes, he walked to the podium and asked softly, “May I know who Meng Ran is?”

Meng Ran, who was flipping through the next textbook in boredom, did not notice that a big shot had entered the classroom.

Once Wang Qiang finished speaking, all the students in the class, with the exception of Mo Zhu who was already asleep, pointed a finger straight at Meng Ran.

The two people in the first row who were close to the lecture table even reminded him in a low voice, “The person sitting next to Sister Mo is Meng Ran. But be quiet later. If you wake Sister Mo up, you will suffer.”

These words were a good reminder. Through Principal Xu’s differential attitude towards Mo Zhu this morning, Wang Qiang finally understood that this ordinary girl was not as simple as she looked.

In order to prevent himself from offending the big shot, he walked towards Meng Ran with light steps and apologized in a very sincere tone when he came to the girl’s table.

“Hello, Meng Ran. I’m Director Wang, the one who is in charge of tabulating the number of students who can receive the scholarship and also informing the recipient. I’m very sorry that I had caused you a lot of trouble previously due to the statistical errors I have made. Now, we have made some adjustments. After professional calculations, you are still the recipient of the special-class advancement scholarship for the third year.”

Meng Ran was also shocked by Wang Qiang’s sudden action. She stared blankly at the director, who was bowing down and very sincere in his words.

When she recalled Jiang Xun’s words in the morning, and coupled with the expressions of the surrounding students who were in high spirits, she immediately understood that all of this was Mo Zhu’s credit. It was Sister Mo who had worked hard for her in exchange for the current respect she was receiving.

Upon realizing this, Meng Ran’s eyes turned red instantly, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.
