Chapter 1586: Society Is Not an Ivory Tower

At the same time, Zhang Tianshu turned on her loudspeaker.

She knew very well why the human resources director had called her.

Usually, she didn’t have much interaction with him. It must be because of her promotion.

This call came at the right time.

“Director Zhang, why are you looking for me?” Zhang Tianshu said with a smile.

“Originally, you were supposed to attend the school affairs training tomorrow, but the situation has changed slightly. You don’t have to come over tomorrow. I’m informing you so you don’t make a wasted trip.”

“No need me to come over?”

Zhang Tianshu was shocked and her expression changed.

This was a process that she had to go through before she could be promoted.

In other words, whoever was promoted would go through this process and partic.i.p.ate in the training!

But now, there was no need for her to go!

What was the meaning of this?

“Director Zhang, what’s going on? Didn’t we already agree? Why did you change your mind?!”

“Well…”

The human resources director hesitated for a few seconds. “Don’t ask about this. In short, you don’t have to come.”

“Director Zhang, it’s fine if I’m not supposed to partic.i.p.ate in the training, but you have to let me know what’s going on,” Zhang Tianshu said unwillingly.

She was still counting on this to have leverage against Sugar in the future. If she didn’t get selected, she won’t have any advantage anymore.

“Don’t tell anyone about this.” Director Zhang said.

“The princ.i.p.al called just now and personally appointed Director Sugar from the school committee. 1 won’t say anything else. You should understand. Anyway, don’t come tomorrow. Don’t waste your time. I have other things to do, so I’ll hang up first.”

The call ended after this. Zhang Tianshu’s eyes were wide open and her mouth was agape. She felt terrible.

Sugar was also slightly surprised. What did Lin Yi say to Princ.i.p.al Zhao that he could settle this matter in minutes?

“What despicable means did you use to s.n.a.t.c.h my position?!”

Zhang Tianshu said hysterically, as if she wanted to eat someone.

“This has nothing to do with me. Princ.i.p.al Zhao removed you from the post. If you’re not satisfied, you can ask him.” Sugar was not afraid at all. “But 1 suggest you find the reason within yourself.”

“You’re talking nonsense. It was already decided that the position would be me. You must have used despicable methods!”

“Alright, Tianshu, there’s no need to bother with them,” Zhou Zhiqiang said.

“There are still so many other positions in the school. I’ll help arrange those for you. There’s no need to care about this.”

With that, Zhou Zhiqiang looked at Lin Yi and Sugar. “There’s now a grudge between us. Let’s wait and see what happens!”

“What are you looking at?” Lin Yi smiled.

“Your girlfriend won’t be able to stay in school for long. It’s better to hold on to her tight so she can find a new job.”

“What do you mean?”

“You don’t even know who I am and you’re still acting cool. You deserve to be slapped in the face.”

Sugar raised her head proudly. She was extremely happy.

“His name is Lin Yi. He’s the vice-princ.i.p.al of Zhonghai Normal University.” Sugar said.

“If you were more serious about your work, you’d look at the members of the school’s organization. Then, you wouldn’t be so arrogant in front of him.”

“Vice-Vice-princ.i.p.al!”

Both of them were stunned!

Their minds were filled with question marks. How could he become the vice princ.i.p.al at such a young age?!

Zhang Tianshu hurriedly took out his phone and checked the organization structure of the school!

She suddenly realized that the man in front of her was really the vice-princ.i.p.al of Zhonghai Normal University!

“You’ve both seen it. 1 won’t say anything else. Think about it carefully and see how long you can stay in school.”

Beep beep beep!

Lin Yi pressed the keys and the door of the La Voiture Noire opened.

Zhou Zhiqiang and Zhang Tianshu’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

“You, you guys drive a supercar!”

“Can’t I? It’s not that expensive, just 120 million yuan. I hope you can buy a car like this one day.”

Sugar said smugly and got into the car with Lin Yi, brushing past the embarra.s.sed duo.

“d.a.m.n, it’s been a thrilling day.”

Sugar danced with joy. “I finally won against her.”

“That woman’s ego is really bloated.”

“It’s more than bloated. It’s bloated to the point of explosion.” Sugar combed her hair. “If you hadn’t come today, 1 really wouldn’t have been able to do anything to her.”

“It can’t be helped. Society isn’t an ivory tower. There are too many things that don’t go your way.”

“Indeed. If everything had gone according to the normal process, 1 would have been promoted long ago. I wouldn’t have been forced to stay on the school committee for another year.” Sugar said.

“However, 1 really have to thank you for what happened today, so I’ve decided that from today onwards, when you scold me, 1 won’t retaliate.”

“Do you have any reason to talk back? I’ve been carrying you for two years, even pigs have reached the King tier. But you, not only did you fail to climb up, but also dragged my King-tier account down to Master. Tell me, how dare you talk back with such a face?”

“Um…”

Sugar smiled awkwardly. “I’ve worked hard too, but that’s all there is to my talent.”

Lin Yi shook his head helplessly. Sugar’s rookie skills and playful personality were probably impossible to change.

Then, Lin Yi sent Sugar back to school since her car was still there.

After sending her off, Lin Yi drove to Chaoyang Group to pick Ji Qingyan up from work.

Just like yesterday, she came back with a large pile of doc.u.ments. She was so busy that her hair was messy and she didn’t have time to tidy it up.

After returning home, Ji Qingyan rushed back to the study, leaving the cooking to Lin Yi.

While eating, Lin Yi received a call from the car exhibition manager.

“Mr. Lin, I’m preparing to deliver it to you now. It will be delivered to Zhonghai International Racetrack in about two hours. Is it convenient for you to receive it?”

“It’s convenient. Just send it over.”

“Alright, I’ll arrange for the delivery now and try to send it to you as soon as possible.”

After discussing the delivery, Lin Yi placed his phone on the table.

“Did you buy something?” Ji Qingyan asked casually. “A car?”

“Huh? How did you know?”

Lin Yi looked at Ji Qingyan and sized her up.

Looks like something interesting is happening.

“I heard some people at the company discussing the fact that there’s a car exhibition these days. 1 was actually going to ask if you wanted to go, but got too busy and forgot.”

“President Ji is really observant.”

Feeling a little smug, she said, “The car has been delivered. Aren’t you going to drive a few more laps?”

“I have to practice and get used to it first.”

“Be careful when you’re driving.”

“Sure thing.”

After dinner, knowing that Lin Yi was in a hurry to have fun, Ji Qingyan sent him away and washed the dishes herself.

An Aston Martin stopped at Zhonghai International Racetrack.

However, it did not drive inside. Instead, it stopped at the door, as if it was waiting for someone.

Ten minutes later, a BMW 7 Series stopped beside the Aston Martin.

A man and a woman got out of the car.

These two people were Dong Hanyu and his female companion Lin Yi had seen at the auto show.

“Huh? What’s going on? Weren’t you going to buy the Veneno? Why did you drive this lousy car here?”
