Chapter 91: Damn Old Fox
From what she knew of Sheng Yang, this girl was indifferent by nature and wouldn’t tell the truth at all. He could only find the answer to the puzzle by himself.
The principal flipped through the stack of test papers, narrowed his eyes, and suddenly came up with an idea.
It seemed it was really as he guessed.

The next day, Li Mei took the initiative to go to the principal and said eagerly, “Principal, can I go back to Class 7?”
She planned to reclaim the teaching rights for Class Seven first then work up a way to convince Sheng Yang to return to Class One which she originally belonged to.
This was the plan she came up with during the last week.
The principal’s ears were finally working this time. He raised his head and looked at her. “Ms. Li, Ms. Cui will be Class 7’s Chinese language teacher until graduation.”
“Why?” Li Mei didn’t expect this change and was shocked. She thought that the principal just gave her a little warning, but the principal turned out to be serious.
“There’s no reason. Ms. Li, I’m telling you. This was a joint decision by the school leaders,” the principal said, a little forcefully.
Li Mei was at a loss for words. She was always subservient to the principal and was even called “the principal’s henchwoman”, but that was because the principal’s actions benefited her. He always gave her the best students.
Li Mei wanted to persuade the principal to transfer Sheng Yang back to Class One. But looking at the principal’s stern face, she shut up.
At least, for now.
She turned around sadly and left the office silently, crestfallen.
“Alas—” When she left, the principal looked at her back and took a long breath.
Li Mei was very capable, but for a teacher, that wasn’t enough.
He gave her a chance, but she didn’t cherish it.
…
As soon as Li Mei walked out of the office, she ran into the vice-principal who hurried over.
The vice-principal had been studying in another city recently and had just returned, but then he learned the shocking news.
It turned out that Sheng Yang wasn’t a poor student at all. He had found such a good seed for the school, but the principal threw such a tantrum back then.
He was so wronged. The principal had to apologize to him!
Now he knew why the principal suddenly decided to admit Sheng Yang. It turned out to be a conspiracy, but the principal didn’t give him the slightest hint! This damn old fox!
Distracted, Li Mei bumped into the vice-principal who was hurrying over!
“Ouch!”
“Oh, sorry, Vice Principal…” Li Mei apologized listlessly.
The vice-principal raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Mei in front of him, feeling a bit strange.
Li Mei was always arrogant, boasting that no one was more professional than her throughout the school. How come she looked so frustrated and dispirited now?
The vice-principal didn’t like Li Mei very much and couldn’t understand why the principal treated her so well, continually assigning good students to her class. Now he finally had a chance to taunt her.
