Chapter 115 Peng Shao Stands Up for Wenrou
Chapter 115 Peng Shao Stands Up for Wenrou
Peng Shao came back this time not only to pick up Professor Peng and bring him back to Beijing, but also to see Wenrou again.
I heard that his new school has already started, and Wenrou has already told him about the new school in her letter.
The reason this new school was created was not only to make it easier for the children here to attend school, but also out of kindness.
Although he was away during this time, he continued to communicate with Wenrou.
Although I know that with her abilities, managing a school would definitely not be a problem, I still can't help but worry.
After this, I don't know when we'll be able to meet again.
Peng Shao first went home, and when he saw Professor Peng, his eyes reddened slightly.
"Dad, we've finally waited for this day." He said to Professor Peng in a hoarse voice.
Professor Peng nodded, his eyes filled with tears, and said, "Yes, I can finally go home."
"Where's Xiao Wan? She's still at school. I'm going to find her." Peng Shao asked when he didn't see Peng Xiao Wan.
Upon seeing this, Professor Peng grabbed Peng Shao's arm, "Xiao Wan might not be coming back with us."
"What's wrong with her?" Peng Shao was taken aback when he heard this, and his expression changed immediately.
He thought something had happened to Peng Xiaowan, but then he heard Professor Peng continue, "She must have met someone here, a soldier in the army."
Although Peng Xiaowan never brought up this matter herself, Professor Peng, having been through similar experiences, could tell.
"A soldier?" Peng Shao frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Why has Peng Xiaowan never mentioned it before?
And which soldier in the military is it? What is his character and family background?
It seems he came back just in time, otherwise he wouldn't even know his sister had been kidnapped.
"I've met that young man. He's quite energetic and treats Xiaowan well. If Xiaowan can really find her own happiness, I can finally give your second uncle and aunt an explanation."
Professor Peng had only met Hao Gang a few times from afar and had also inquired about him with Wenrou. Anyone praised by Wenrou must be of good character.
"No matter what, this is a major event in Xiaowan's life, and we are Xiaowan's only family. This matter cannot be taken lightly. I don't want my sister to get married in a muddled way."
Although Professor Peng said that, Peng Shao still didn't believe it.
He insisted on personally confirming that the person was alright before he could agree to the marriage.
If even he doesn't approve of it, then there's no point in discussing anything further.
Professor Peng agreed with Peng Shao, "In that case, let's not rush to leave. We'll go back after Xiao Wan's matter is resolved."
Peng Shao nodded; he thought so too.
"I'm going to the school to find Xiao Wan and check on the new school," Peng Shao said to Professor Peng before leaving.
Although he said he was going to find Peng Xiaowan, he still had his own selfish motives.
Although he is the school's principal, he has never visited the school since its construction, making him a complete absentee manager.
This is all thanks to Wenrou's help; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to have such a comfortable job as the nominal principal.
Not only that, his father's exoneration was also due to Wenrou's great help to his family.
If they hadn't met her on the train, the father and son wouldn't have been reunited so quickly.
Peng Shao will remember this kindness for the rest of his life; no amount of words of thanks will do.
Meanwhile, at the school, Wenrou was unaware that Peng Shao had already returned.
She had just arrived at school today when she learned that Jiang Yating had gone to the Education Bureau to file a complaint.
Soon, the Education Bureau also sent people over to see what was going on.
The Education Bureau wanted to place someone in the new school, but that was only because Wenrou was a vice principal, and they knew she was just a figurehead.
I never expected that she would not even respect those above her?
Jiang Yating's uncle is the personnel officer of the political work group of the county's education bureau, and Jiang Yating was transferred there by him.
Hearing that Wenrou didn't respect his niece, her uncle came in person this time, ready to meet with Wenrou, the vice principal.
In his eyes, Wenrou was just a lesbian, and so young that she didn't know anything. He used to be able to easily manipulate her.
With her uncle backing her up, Jiang Yating suddenly became much more assertive.
Upon learning that an official from the county's Education Bureau had arrived, Chen Yiming hurried over to greet him.
Not only that, he also took the opportunity to inform Wenrou.
"A staff member from the County Education Bureau?" Wenrou was taken aback when she heard this news.
She hadn't received any news that someone from the county's education bureau was coming, but after a moment of surprise, she still got up and went to the meeting room.
She wanted to see what Jiang Yating was up to.
When she arrived at the conference room, she saw that everyone was there.
After all, they were from the county's education bureau, so everyone had to give them face.
After Wenrou entered the conference room, she saw a middle-aged man sitting in the seat that was supposed to be hers.
When the man saw Wenrou enter, he stood up from his seat.
"Comrade Wen, I am a staff member of the Political Work Group of the County Education and Culture Bureau. Let me introduce myself. My name is Jiang Zhiyuan. I am here today to handle a few matters on behalf of the County Education and Culture Bureau."
Although Jiang Zhiyuan spoke politely, his tone and expression revealed disdain; he didn't take Wenrou seriously.
"Jiang?" Wenrou chuckled softly upon hearing his introduction and looked at Jiang Yating standing to the side.
It turns out that the official from the county education bureau was Jiang Yating's relative. He came here on purpose to cause this scene, just to vent Jiang Yating's anger.
"Manager Jiang, what brings you here?" Wenrou looked at Jiang Zhiyuan and asked, pretending to know the answer already.
Seeing that Wenrou was quite young, Jiang Zhiyuan decided to use his identity to scare her.
"Comrade Jiang Yating was sent by the Education Bureau to support the school's management. I heard that you dismissed her from her position as director of academic affairs without authorization. You are just an acting principal, yet you don't even respect the county education bureau. How do you explain this?"
Upon hearing Wenrou's tone, Jiang Zhiyuan's expression immediately turned cold, and he loudly questioned her.
Upon seeing this, everyone else instinctively looked in the direction of Wenrou.
Seeing that she maintained a faint smile throughout, without any change in response to Jiang Zhiyuan's words, I couldn't help but feel admiration.
"Dr. Jiang, you came here today just for this? You just said I'm the acting principal, so I think I have that much authority. Besides, I don't think our school needs a dean of academic affairs, so I removed her from her position. Is there a problem with that?"
After Wenrou finished speaking, her expression turned serious.
"You... how can you, an acting principal, be so arrogant? Even if it's to be canceled, it's the principal's decision. If you don't cooperate with the county education bureau, I think you can be replaced as vice principal." Jiang Zhiyuan didn't expect Wenrou to be so arrogant. He raised his hand and slammed it on the table, pointing at him and shouting angrily.
With her uncle backing her up, Jiang Yating looked at Wenrou with a hint of provocation in her eyes.
So what if I'm an acting principal?
Even if the principal came in person, he probably wouldn't dare to offend the county education bureau, right?
This Wenrou really thinks she's the principal. Let's see if she can still smile when the Education Bureau sends a new acting principal.
Seeing this, Peng Xiaowan, who was sitting next to her, reached out and tugged at Wenrou's trouser leg, signaling her not to act impulsively, since the other party was, after all, an official from the county's education bureau.
If this matter offends the Education Bureau, the consequences could be severe.
Wenrou glanced at her and gave her a reassuring look.
If all else fails, she still has Peng Shao, so what's there to be afraid of?
She remembered that in her previous life, Peng Shao had become a business tycoon and knew many people in the political arena. How could he be afraid of a county education bureau?
When the time comes, all he needs to do is send a letter. What is Jiang Zhiyuan compared to that?
Fortunately, Peng Shao will be back in the next few days, so she has even less to worry about.
Just then, a cold voice suddenly came from the doorway.
"Replace him? Do you think a mere clerk in the Education Bureau has such a big mouth?"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Wenrou was suddenly startled.
Peng Xiaowan also subconsciously looked up towards the door, and when she saw Peng Shao, her face was full of excitement.
"You...you are..." Jiang Zhiyuan had never met Peng Shao before and did not know his identity.
However, Chen Yiming had seen Peng Shao's photo at the county education bureau. Upon seeing him, he instinctively nervously stammered, "Peng... Principal Peng."
Jiang Yating, standing beside Chen Yiming, was also stunned in disbelief after hearing his words.
"Director Chen, you're saying...you're saying he's the principal?"
Chen Yiming nodded vigorously, "Yes... that's him."
Everyone else was shocked when they heard Chen Yiming's words.
They never expected that the mysterious principal, who had been a mystery ever since the school was built, would appear at this time.
Peng Shao, dressed in a black suit, slowly walked towards Jiang Zhiyuan.
Upon hearing Peng Shao's identity, Jiang Zhiyuan subconsciously stood up from his seat.
"So it's Principal Peng, nice to meet you." He said, smiling as he extended his hand to Peng Shao.
Peng Shao glanced at him, then turned his head away with a disdainful look, looking towards Wenrou's position.
"Vice Principal Wen's words represent my opinion. Although I am not here, I have been paying attention to the school's affairs. If anyone dares to question Vice Principal Wen's words again, they can get out of here."
Although Peng Shao spoke to everyone, his words were mainly directed at Jiang Zhiyuan.
Standing next to Jiang Zhiyuan, Jiang Yating stared straight at Peng Shao, momentarily forgetting her own identity.
Peng Shao was dressed in a black suit and wore gold-rimmed glasses. His eyes were sharp and aloof, and he had a refined and powerful presence.
This was the first time she had ever met a man like this, and she couldn't help but be captivated.
Jiang Zhiyuan looked somewhat embarrassed. Seeing that he had been completely ignored, he could only silently withdraw his hand.
Peng Shao's words directly protected Wenrou's authority at the school. He originally wanted to come and take a look in a low-key manner, but he didn't expect to see this scene.
He happened to know the group leader at the county education bureau, so it seemed like it was time to make a trip to the county.
He looked at all the teachers present and said with a serious expression, "Vice Principal Wen is a responsible and good principal. If she hadn't persuaded me to build this school, none of us would be here today. Our original intention in building this school was to develop the backward education in this area, so that all the children could have access to education and leave this place. I hope that everyone can work together in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, Peng Xiaowan excitedly led the applause.
Seeing this, everyone else joined in the applause.
After the meeting, the other teachers left as well. Peng Shao also walked out, followed by Wenrou, leaving behind Jiang Zhiyuan, who was embarrassed and sweating, and Jiang Yating, who was still in shock.
"Ya Ting, your second uncle has no other choice this time. My abilities are limited, and this is all I can do to help you."
Jiang Yating's mind was filled with Peng Shao's appearance just now, so she said to Jiang Zhiyuan, "It's okay, Second Uncle, you can go back first."
After she finished speaking, she chased after Peng Shao in the direction he had left.
"Brother, when did you get back?" Peng Xiaowan stood not far from the door, and after Peng Shao came out, she quickly ran over and asked excitedly.
"I just got back not long ago." Peng Shao looked at Peng Xiaowan, his expression softening slightly.
He looked at Wenrou beside him and said, "I'm going to the county's education bureau this afternoon. Don't worry, this kind of thing won't happen again."
"Yes, thank you." Wenrou nodded gently. Of course she wasn't worried. Peng Shao's reputation as a future business tycoon was not just for show.
Peng Shao frowned slightly, somewhat displeased, when he saw that Wenrou was being so polite to him.
"You don't need to be so polite in front of me in the future. Don't forget, I'm your brother too."
"Yes, yes, brother."
Regardless, she's managed to latch onto Peng Shao's powerful and influential connections.
"Principal Peng."
Jiang Yating chased after them and saw this scene.
She felt very uncomfortable, even a little jealous, when she saw the obvious doting look on Peng Shao's face when he was with Wenrou.
"Brother, I still have class, I'm going to class now." At this moment, Peng Xiaowan saw that it was almost time, so she said to Peng Shao.
Peng Shao nodded, took a new watch out of his pocket, and handed it to her.
"Here, this is a gift for you. Don't use your old watch anymore, use this new one."
Knowing that Peng Xiaowan needs to keep track of time during class, he specially picked out this gift for her when he came back.
"I can still use this," Peng Xiaowan said, feeling embarrassed to accept Peng Shao's gift.
Peng Shao shoved the watch into her hand. "I'm your brother, why are you being so polite with me? If you need anything, just tell me."
Peng Xiaowan nodded and accepted the gift before turning to go to class.
When Jiang Yating saw this scene, she never expected that Peng Xiaowan's brother was actually Principal Peng.
She had previously thought they just shared the same surname, never expecting there to be this connection.
Thinking back to how she had targeted Peng Xiaowan before, she suddenly felt a pang of regret.
"I have something to do, so I'll be going now. Here, this is for you." After saying that, Peng Shao took out another gift from his pocket and handed it to Wenrou.
Wenrou was taken aback. "I have one too?"
"Of course, there are also gifts for my two children in here. Please give them to them for me as a greeting gift from their uncle."
He gave Wenrou a larger gift box. Wenrou initially wanted to refuse, but when she heard him mention the child, she had no choice but to accept it.
This was, after all, Peng Shao's kind gesture; if she hadn't accepted it, Peng Shao probably would have given her a hard time.
"Then I'll thank Uncle for the gifts on their behalf."
