Chapter 916: Dinner
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Before the director could reach the principal’s office, she collided with Principal Zhang in the hallway. Steadying herself and adjusting her glasses, she said, “Principal Zhang, watch where you’re going! These glasses aren’t something you can just replace!”
Principal Zhang looked apologetic; he had indeed been walking a bit too briskly. He laughed and replied, “I’m sorry, Director, but you’ve been wearing those glasses for quite a while. If they broke, it might be a good excuse to upgrade to a new style. I wouldn’t have guessed that these glasses saved your life or anything! By the way, what happened to that exceptional student from Guangwai? I need to meet her. I absolutely must!”
Principal Zhang felt that such a talent deserved his attention. Missing out on meeting her would be a loss. Little did he know that Gu Zi had already left the school after collecting her results.
The director explained, “You won’t get to meet her today; she’s already picked up her scores and left. I came to discuss her special circumstances and to apply for her to study at home…”
The director then detailed Gu Zi’s situation to Principal Zhang, who listened with a look of sympathy. “Poor girl! How can someone so gifted be facing such hardships? Having to take care of a child while working! Are you sure she’s employed at Guangcheng Daily? What position does she hold there?”
The director nodded, recalling how Gu Zi had hesitated to share her job details. “Yes, she works at Guangcheng Daily, but it’s probably a position like a cleaner. You know how it is; most positions there require at least a junior college degree and relevant experience. It’s unlikely they would hire a high school student for anything substantial.”
Principal Zhang understood this rationale but felt relieved nonetheless. “As long as it’s Guangcheng Daily, that makes things easier. Do you remember Principal Guan from First Bilingual Primary School? His daughter is a reporter there. I’ll arrange to have lunch with him right away.”
While he wasn’t on good terms with the principal of Guangwai Middle School, he had a friendly relationship with the principal of First Bilingual Primary School. They often dined together and joked about the other principal.
Now, he would take the initiative to help Gu Zi quit her job; it was a minor issue that he was more than willing to handle. After all, she was his student, and he wanted to support her.
Principal Zhang returned to his office and quickly dialed Principal Guan’s number. They arranged to meet for lunch.
