Chapter Seventy-Five Director

  At noon, school was dismissed. Leng Binghan and Luo Baozi took Xiaowei out of the campus in a hurry. In Leng Binghan's words, it was to take advantage of Luo Baozi's wealth, who let his mother give him more pocket money, making his wallet bulging? Luo Baozi had no objection to this. For friends, what did money matter? Moreover, he often invited Leng Binghan to dinner, but Leng Binghan always made excuses not to go. He was not someone who befriended him for his own gain.

  But if Luo Baozi knew about the cold and wealthy family, he would definitely choke his neck and say viciously: "You little brat is so rich, you are the real big landlord, I also want to beat your landlord, eat a full Manchu dinner, drink XO, anyway, whatever is expensive..."

  Xiao Wei was initially reluctant to go, although she had spent a few good days at the Leng's house. However, deep down, her original way of thinking and consciousness hadn't changed much. She knew that eating out would cost a lot of money, and estimated that one meal outside could be equivalent to five or six meals at home. No matter who paid or invited her, she was unwilling to waste this money, so she pulled Leng Binghan wanting to go back and eat instead.

  Leng Bing Han knew that it was useless to talk to her for the time being, so he simply pulled her along and walked with the three of them towards the outside of the school. Leng Bing Han often didn't go home for lunch, and Leng Yun Yi and Li Yu Fen were already used to it. Now that Xiao Wei was following him, they didn't have anything to worry about.

  For Lu Bing Xiong's actions, Luo Hui still felt a bit worried for him. This little Wei is your sister, and in school, you can't be so intimate with her, what if the teachers who don't understand the situation see it? He wanted to advise him, but he also knew Lu Bing Xiong's temper, once he made up his mind, nothing could change it. He lightly sighed and could only pray that they wouldn't run into any teachers.

  Unfortunately, it seemed like all the gods and Buddhas were on holiday today. Before even reaching the school gate, Luo Hui saw Vice Principal Wu Qinghua walking towards him from afar. He couldn't help but take a deep breath of cold air, his mind went blank, leaving only two words: "Trouble".

  This Dean of Studies, Wu Qinghua, is over 40 years old, never smiles, and deals with students who break the rules without exception, regardless of their background or connections. He is known as the "Black-faced Killer God" of No. 1 Middle School, and it can be said that he is even more famous and intimidating than the principal himself.

  Luo Hui had twice been caught by him, but was only let off when his father intervened, the price being a severe beating that left his buttocks bruised and swollen. As a result, he was fearless in school, but whenever he saw this instructor, he would scurry away like a mouse seeing a cat, afraid of being caught again by this dark-faced god of punishment and subjected to another brutal thrashing.

  Although it wasn't his fault this time, Leng Bing Han was still his friend, so how could he just sit back and watch him offend the Black-Faced Killing God? He hastily pulled Leng Bing Han along, quietly reminding him, "Little Han, quickly let go, the Black-Faced Killing God is up ahead, don't look for trouble!"

  "What's there to be afraid of when everything is out in the open? Nothing!" Cold Ice glanced at him with a somewhat strange smile.

  Luo Hui almost fainted. This cold and icy person is not usually so careless, what's wrong with him today? Has he gone mad?

  Xiao Wei didn't understand what they were saying, she just curiously looked at them.

  "Hello, Director Wu!" As they brushed past the teaching director, Luo Hui was a bit nervous and on edge, anticipating the black-faced killer god's explosive anger at any moment. However, Leng Bing Xue remained calm and serene, holding onto Xiao Wei as she warmly greeted Wu Qinghua.

  "Ah, hello Cold Ice!" Wu Qinghua responded with a warm smile to Cold Ice's greeting, just like a normal teacher and student exchanging pleasantries on the road, without any abnormalities. They quickly passed each other by.

  Nothing else was said, nothing happened. Luo Hui looked at Leng Bingxin and Xiao Wei with a silly expression, then turned back to look at Wu Qinghua's receding figure, and after a while, he slapped his forehead and exclaimed: "Oh my god, what day is today? Hei Mian Sha Shen actually converted to vegetarianism?"

  Some students who were prepared to watch the excitement around them also had their eyes wide with wonder, and the degree of astonishment in their hearts was no different from Luo Hui's.

  He slapped him with a cold face and said, "Hurry up, fatty, Xiaowei and I are starving to death."

  Luohui continued on his way, but he was still in a daze all the way, constantly thinking about this matter, until Leng Binghan couldn't help but tell him that Director Wu had long known about his relationship with Xiaowei's sister, and only then did he reveal an expression of "no wonder", finally no longer being troubled by this matter.

  Wu Qinghua knew about this matter, and it wasn't just a lie to placate Luo Hui. Wu Qinghua was actually related to the Leng family, being the paternal uncle of Leng Bingxue's fourth aunt. In his previous life, one of the reasons why Leng Bingxue could attend First Middle School was because of this relative's help, aside from his own good grades.

  Wu Qinglan's family was a scholarly one, with many teachers in the family. She herself was an elementary school teacher, and her cousin Wu Qinghua was also a teacher. Although they didn't interact much with the Leng Yunqiu family, their kinship still existed. In the past, he had risen from being an ordinary teacher to becoming a guidance counselor, able to punish students who broke rules without regard for their family background. Apart from his own abilities and character, this was also due to his connection with Leng Yunqiu.

  Who else would not get along with Leng Yun for the sake of a child's matter? Even if they are distant relatives, after all, they are still relatives, and their own children have made mistakes first. Isn't it also for the good of the children that the teacher is doing this?

  The Leng family's four brothers, although only Leng Yunying and Leng Yunhua are in Changfu, one is the mayor, and the other serves as the executive vice president of Feiyuan (Changfu) Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., both holding great power and bringing glory to the family. The Leng family has undoubtedly become a prominent local family. Leng Yunying wants to adopt Xiao Wei as her goddaughter, although due to Xiao Wei's current state, the ceremony has not been held yet. As a major event within the family, it is only natural that relatives and friends be notified, so Wu Qinghua knowing about it is not surprising at all.

  Due to Leng Bing Xue's low profile in school, not many people knew about his relationship with Wu Qing Hua, let alone Luo Hui. If they did, they would have been even more reckless. After all, Hei Mian Sha Shen was a good friend of Leng Bing Xue's relative, and Leng Bing Xue had come forward to plead on his behalf, so Hei Mian Sha Shen should give him some face, right?

  Luohui took them to a small restaurant near the school he often went to. The restaurant was not big, only a few dozen square meters at most. It not only sold stir-fries and cooked dishes but also fast food boxes. Fast food boxes were economical and convenient, mainly sold to students from ordinary families who found it inconvenient to eat at home. Of course, these students bought take-out and couldn't occupy the store's tables and chairs. The tables and chairs were for students who ordered dishes to eat in. Around No. 1 Middle School, there were at least nearly ten such restaurants, all doing business around these students.

  The price of a single pot stir-fry is definitely different from that of fast food and boxed meals. Although it's still relatively affordable compared to restaurants outside, it's not something ordinary students can afford. It's mostly the children of officials and students with good family backgrounds who have more money in their pockets, often inviting friends to eat here.

  It can be said that eating here is not just a matter of solving the problem of eating, but also a symbol of a certain level, status and circle in school. If you don't have that background, don't have that strength, it's hard to integrate in, and won't get their recognition.

  Don't look at the restaurant being small, it actually has a private room, which is prepared for single teachers from No. 1 Middle School. Some teachers find it troublesome to cook at noon or have something to do, so they will choose to eat here. Of course, they won't mix with those students, which would damage their reputation and image in front of the students. Therefore, clever businessmen set up private rooms for these teachers to use. When there are no teachers, they will also be provided to high-spending regular customers who order a lot of dishes. It's not possible to leave them empty and not make money.

  Luo Hui was a regular customer, as the only son of his family, he had a lot of pocket money. The dishes in this restaurant were just to his taste, so he often came here. When Leng Bingxue went alone, she would go to that one next to the power bureau, but the boss often sent him food, knowing that he lived in the house of the power bureau, and thought he lived upstairs, so he generally didn't bring people there to eat, afraid that the boss would accidentally say something, this secret was discovered by others, it's really hard to make excuses.

  If it were just Leng Bingxue and Luo Hui, they could have just made do with something simple outside, but today with Xiao Wei around, Luo Hui had to save face no matter what. As soon as he entered the door, he loudly shouted: "Boss, prepare a private room for us."

  The boss furrowed his brow, just wanting to say something, when Luo Hui rattled off seven or eight dish names, and his face immediately brightened up. With so many dishes ordered, it would add up to over ten yuan at least, so why not take a private room? He hastily led them into the private room and even personally poured each of them a cup of tea.

  Perhaps it was the boss's enthusiasm that made Luo Hui feel very proud, he held a pair of chopsticks in his hand and tapped the bowl in front of him, saying to Leng Bingxing: "Little Bing, let's have a good time today, how about a bottle at noon?"

  Leng Binghan was startled by the words, and Luo Hui was acting strangely today, actually wanting to drink again. He hastily waved his hand in refusal: "What wine? We still have class this afternoon."

  "Just a bottle of beer, it won't have any effect." Luo Hui muttered to himself, but seeing Leng Bing's resolute expression, he reluctantly gave up the idea of drinking. He asked the boss to bring each person a bottle of soda instead.

  The dishes in the private room were served quickly, and Luo Hui, this fat guy, was eating with gusto. Although he was rough, it seemed to have put Xiao Wei at ease, and she also let go of her reserve and inhibitions. Although she still ate relatively daintily, it was clear that she found the food very delicious.

  Seeing Xiao Wei was very satisfying and happy to eat, the cold ice in her heart was also very happy. It seems that the decision to go to school is correct. Xiao Wei can only make more friends on campus, and sooner or later she will forget those unhappy experiences.
