Chapter 67: They’ll Definitely Agree
Shen Qiongzhi watched her finish the chicken soup, then took the empty bowl and said indifferently, “Why are you looking for him? He’s busy and has a meeting in the evening, so he might return later.”
“Oh.”
Qiao Chen wasn’t surprised. After all, their family had developed well in recent years, and the company had skyrocketed and successfully been listed in the market, so her dad was very busy.
She remembered what Fu Sinian had said that night and said casually, “Brother Sinian heard that our family has a good relations.h.i.+p with Cheng Feng Corporation and asked me for a favor. He said he went to an auction a few days ago, and the President of Cheng Feng Corporation bought a very precious Chinese medicine that all the big figures in Beijing want. He wants us to discuss with Cheng Feng Corporation and see if they can give the medicinal materials to the Fu family.”
Throughout her long years of dating Fu Ge, the Fu family had always treated her unsatisfactorily, and neither denied nor accepted her ident.i.ty. Their att.i.tude towards her had always been vague.
Now that Fu Sinian was finally asking her for a favor, she had to do it well so that she could hold her head up high in front of the Fu family!
Qiao Chen attached great importance to this matter, so she asked seriously, “Mom, when dad comes back tonight, you must explain this matter to him well. He must make the people from Cheng Feng Corporation agree to give the medicinal materials. We can give them as much money as they want.”
Shen Qiongzhi didn’t really take it to heart and just patted the back of her hand in comfort. “Don’t worry, we’ve always had a good relations.h.i.+p with Cheng Feng Corporation. All of their theaters have been handed over to us to build. This is a trivial matter, I’m sure they’ll definitely agree.”
Qiao Chen finally showed a satisfied smile. “Mom, I’ll go and take a shower first.”
“Go on.”
Shen Qiongzhi watched her go upstairs, then turned and picked up her phone. She hesitated a while, then called Qiao Weimin to explain Qiao Chen’s request.
…
The next day.
First High School’s princ.i.p.al office.
Shen Hui got up early in the morning and received the news. She didn’t even supervise the morning cla.s.s and ran to the princ.i.p.al’s office first.
“Knock knock.”
She knocked on the door twice, and the princ.i.p.al’s voice sounded.
“Come in.”
Shen Hui opened the door and went in.
“Princ.i.p.al, is the Chen Yuan who you approved to suspend back then coming back to school?”
Upon seeing her come in with a look of fury, Princ.i.p.al Yu put down the pen in his hand, leaned back on his leather chair, and smiled. “Teacher Shen, don’t be so nervous. Chen Yuan’s results weren’t bad, and he only missed some cla.s.ses. If he slowly makes up for it, it’ll be fine.”
The blue veins on Shen Hui’s forehead throbbed, and she protested stubbornly. “Princ.i.p.al!
“Chen Yuan didn’t just miss one or two cla.s.ses, he took a full three months off from school!”
Still smiling like a generous Buddha, Princ.i.p.al Yu said, “It’s just three months, he can make up slowly for it.”
“But the school exam is about to start soon!
“At that time, all cla.s.ses will have their results. Our cla.s.s already has Qiao Nian, and if Chen Yuan comes after taking a three-month leave, how are we supposed to take the exam? Cla.s.s A has always been the top cla.s.s in First High School. If my cla.s.s loses to the other cla.s.ses, what about my pride in teaching cla.s.s A?”
Her voice was filled with outrage and indignation. Princ.i.p.al Yu sighed and couldn’t answer her perfunctorily anymore. He had no choice but to tell her the truth. “Teacher Shen, Chen Yuan is definitely coming back to study, and he just returned to the original cla.s.s he was in. This matter has no room for discussion. I’ll tell you this, I can’t make a decision about this matter.”
Beijing’s Wei family had personally come to find him and asked the school to give them face. Who would dare to say no?
