"Director Fang?"
Hearing the address, Wang Caiquan's expression tightened.
While there were many people surnamed Fang in Minghai City nowadays, there was only one who could warrant the title "Director Fang."
That was Fang Junxue, the chairwoman of the Qianxue Group.
Not long after, a young man and woman, each holding a child's hand, walked into the principal's office.
"Principal Liu, thank you for your trouble with this matter!"
Fang Junxue's voice was light, yet pleasant to hear.
"Director Fang, you are too kind. It is your affirmation of our school that your esteemed daughter attends here; how could we call it trouble!"
Liu Shi'an greeted them with a smile, then pointed to Wang Caiquan and said, "Allow me to introduce Director Wang, our first-grade dean."
"Director Fang, hello!" Wang Caiquan said solemnly, "Rest assured, your esteemed daughter will receive the best education at our school!"
"Mm!"
Fang Junxue nodded and said to little Aiyin, "Aiyin, these are Grandpa Liu and Uncle Wang. You must listen to them at school from now on!"
Seeing the two, little Aiyin was somewhat intimidated.
Ye Ming saw this and slowly crouched down, softly saying, "Aiyin, don't you want to play with more friends?"
Upon hearing this, little Aiyin quickly nodded and responded in a small voice, "Yes!"
"Mm! I know Aiyin is the best!" He then pointed to Principal Liu and Director Wang, saying, "These adults have many friends around them, so what should you do?"
Many friends?
Hearing this, little Aiyin immediately greeted them, "Hello, Grandpa Liu! Hello, Uncle Wang!"
Hearing the crisp voice, Liu Shi'an and Wang Caiquan were overjoyed.
"Good! You're Aiyin, right?"
Liu Shi'an said gently, "If you need anything at school, come find Grandpa Liu, understand?"
"Mm!"
Little Aiyin's face finally broke into a smile.
"Okay! I'll just..."
Just as Director Wang was about to take little Aiyin to Class Three, he happened to see two people walking in from outside.
"Huh! Teacher Zhang!"
Director Wang was greatly surprised to see the young man walking ahead.
It turned out to be Zhang Yi, the homeroom teacher of Class Three in the first grade.
Seeing Wang Caiquan, Zhang Yi was first surprised, then overjoyed.
"Director Wang, I didn't expect you to be here too! Perfect!"
Zhang Yi stepped aside, ushering in the noblewoman behind him, and said with a smile, "This is the wife of Director Li of Huomu Building Materials Company. We have an empty spot in our Class Three, and Madam Li wants her son to attend our class! Since you're here, isn't this a coincidence?"
"What? To Class Three?"
Hearing Zhang Yi's words, Principal Liu and Director Wang both frowned.
"Yes! What's wrong?" Zhang Yi said, "I've arranged everything, all you two need to do is sign!"
At this moment, Ye Ming and Fang Junxue, who were standing nearby, also noticed the situation.
They had stumbled upon this matter.
"Principal Liu, my time is precious! Can you please expedite the admission process? I have a spa appointment later!"
Seeing that their opinions seemed to be in disagreement, Madam Li clearly began to lose patience.
She completely ignored Fang Junxue and the others.
"Madam Li, please don't rush!"
Wang Caiquan stepped forward to explain, "Since Class Three is already full, we cannot admit your son to Class Three! However, the teaching quality in our Class One is also the best. How about..."
"What? Full!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yi was bewildered.
As the homeroom teacher of Class Three, how could he not know it was full?
"Director Wang, our class clearly..."
"Teacher Zhang, Director Wang has already said it's full!"
At this moment, Liu Shi'an, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"This..."
Zhang Yi glanced at Liu Shi'an, then at Fang Junxue and the others beside him, and seemed to understand something.
"Uh! This... I'm truly sorry, Madam Li. It seems I misremembered. Our Class Three is indeed full!"
Being a homeroom teacher at Minghai City's No. 1 Middle School, Zhang Yi possessed a certain ability to read people's expressions.
"You... you!"
Seeing their sudden change in demeanor, Madam Li's face instantly darkened.
She looked at Fang Junxue and said coldly, "If I'm not mistaken, you snatched my son's spot, didn't you!"
Previously, she hadn't paid much attention to Fang Junxue, but upon a closer look, she was instantly stunned by the other's refined demeanor and flawless face.
Fang Junxue ignored her provocation and looked at Liu Shi'an, saying, "Principal Liu, if this lady had made arrangements first, we can have Aiyin join another class!"
Fang Junxue disdained to use her influence to bully others.
"There is no such thing at all!" Liu Shi'an said, "Before you called, I had not received any news about a new child enrolling in Class Three."
"That's right! I haven't either!"
Director Wang also responded.
This was not out of fear of Fang Junxue's authority, but because what they said was the truth.
"Very well! I understand!"
Hearing this reply, Fang Junxue looked at Madam Li beside her and said, "Madam, you've heard it too. Shouldn't things be done on a first-come, first-served basis?"
"Heh! First come, first served!"
Madam Li sized up Fang Junxue from head to toe. Seeing that she was only wearing a simple long dress, her last concern was instantly dispelled.
"Young lady! The children in Class Three are all young masters and princesses from upper-class families in Minghai City. Are you sure you are qualified to enter?"
Then, she said in a lecturing tone, "I've seen many young ladies like you! In life, one should be down-to-earth and well-behaved!"
"What do you mean?"
Hearing this, Fang Junxue's tone also turned cold.
"Heh! What do I mean?"
Madam Li sneered, glanced at little Aiyin whom Fang Junxue was holding, and said, "Don't you just want to get into the upper-class circles through your child, and thereby get close to some powerful and wealthy young masters?" As she spoke, contempt flashed in her eyes: "With your looks, you might just hook up with some good catch!"
Madam Li's words instantly froze the atmosphere.
Even Liu Shi'an, who had been through various grand occasions, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Take back what you just said!"
At this moment, an icy voice suddenly echoed in everyone's ears.
Ye Ming walked in front of Madam Li, narrowing his eyes and said.
"Hehehe! Am I wrong?" Madam Li pointed at Fang Junxue and said sternly, "Look at her, only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, and she already has such a big child! Doesn't that say something about you?"
"Hmph! On the surface, she appears pure and chaste, but in her heart, she flows with lewdness..."
*Slap!*
Before she could finish speaking, a clear slap echoed through the air.
