fifty-two
At 8:40 p.m., the chairman's office of Guanghua School.
Qiao's father, Yuan's father, Qiao Yi'an, and Yuan Yazhu sat around the coffee table, on which was the meal that the logistics staff had just served, and Yuan Yazhu made another cup of tea for everyone. A few seconds later, Qiao's father picked up the chopsticks and beckoned everyone to eat, and then the four of them picked up the meal and ate silently, and the sound of chewing and swallowing was all over the house. The two fathers have been immersed in eating, and they have a good appetite, but their expressions are grim, and they are ready to deal with Qiao Yi'an together when they are full. Yuan Yazhu and Qiao Yi'an sat beside their respective fathers, taking turns to observe the two fathers, and if they were not careful, their eyes would meet together, but neither of them would linger, and they immediately staggered and fell into the meal in front of them.
Qiao Yi'an finished eating first, and Yuan Yazhu followed suit. The two of them sat on the side, each pretending to be on their minds, and neither of them spoke, waiting for the two fathers.
I don't know how long it took, Qiao's father finally put down the chopsticks, and Yuan's father also put down the chopsticks after pulling the last bite of rice. Yuan Yazhu hurriedly handed them paper towels, and got up to pour tea again. Qiao Yi'an remained still, his eyes always staring at his father.
Qiao's father took the tea handed by Yuan Yazhu, slowly "sipped", then slowly stood up, glanced at Qiao Yi'an, and slowly walked towards the huge rectangular conference table in the center of the house. He quietly shook off Qiao Yi'an's hand and shouted, "Sit on the side." Qiao Yi'an insisted on helping him sit down in his position before sitting down next to him. At this time, Yuan's father and Yuan Yazhu were already sitting opposite.
The room fell into a deathly silence. The three pairs of eyes looked at Father Qiao almost at the same time, waiting for him to speak.
Qiao's father took another sip of tea, and suddenly looked up at Yuan Yazhu: "Yazhu, tell me about Liu Yunxi." β
Yuan Yazhu was shocked, and subconsciously looked at Qiao Yi'an, not knowing how to speak.
"Father, Yunxi isβ"
"Shut up, let Yazhu say." As soon as Qiao Yi'an spoke, he was interrupted by Qiao's father.
Yuan Yazhu didn't know what medicine Qiao's father was selling in his gourd, why he suddenly asked her to talk about Liu Yunxi. was hesitating, so he heard Yuan's father say: "Yazhu, Uncle Qiao asked you to say it, you can say it, to be honest, he must be very interested in this future daughter-in-law." β
"Oh, good." Yuan Yazhu got his father's prompt and cleared his throat, "Liu Yunxi came for an interview in August this year and was recruited by the eldest brother. After going to work, the work is quite serious and responsible, but recently a teacher complained about her, the matter is under investigation, I don't know if it's true or not. Speaking of this, Yuan Yazhu unconsciously glanced at Qiao Yi'an. Qiao Yi'an was staring at her coldly, without any expression, and he didn't intend to refute.
"What is it to complain about her? You don't have to scruple to say it. Qiao's father asked.
"In a recitation competition in mid-October, a teacher complained to her that she used her position to win over the judges, suggesting that the students were cheating, and won the first prize for the class." Yuan Yazhu avoided Qiao Yi'an's gaze and looked at Qiao's father and said.
"Didn't the school deal with such a mistake? According to Guanghua's rules, can such a teacher stay in Guanghua? Why is she still here? Can't we recruit teachers?" Father Qiao looked at Yuan Yazhu sternly.
"I was going to dismiss her according to Guanghua's system, but Vice President Lu insisted on keeping her, and Director Song was willing to take all the responsibilities, so-" Yuan Yazhu looked at Qiao's father's sharp gaze and stopped squeaking.
"So it was tolerated and not pursued, is that so? Is this the management of Guanghua? Qiao's father's voice suddenly increased, and he looked at Yuan Yazhu sharply, and then turned his gaze towards Qiao Yi'an, "This is the daughter-in-law you found for me?" β
Qiao Yi'an didn't look at his father and stared at Yuan Yazhu: "Principal Yuan, as the head of a school, the reason why you don't punish employees for making such mistakes is just that Vice Colonel Lu insists on staying, and Song Shaorong is willing to take all the responsibility, isn't this obviously covering up?" Should they be punished along with them? Do you know what the consequences of pampering your employees like this are? β
Yuan Yazhu was stunned, she didn't expect Qiao Yi'an not only not to defend Liu Yunxi, but to find out Deputy Colonel Lu and Song Shaorong. At this time, in the face of Qiao's father's questioning gaze, she was anxious and angry, and she was unable to answer for a while.
"Brother Zhiyuan, are we here today to question Yazhu's management?" Yuan's father, who had not spoken, finally spoke, obviously feeling a little emotional.
"Brother, doesn't this mean that Liu Yunxi is here anyway, don't worry, the purpose of our coming today, I know it, don't worry, you won't forget." Qiao's father actually laughed "hehe".
"Father!" Joe Yi'an called.
"Yi'an, you can only marry Xiangzhu, you must marry Xiangzhu, and immediately pick a date to get engaged." Father Qiao looked at him coldly, his eyes determined.
"Father! It's my business who I want to marry, and no one wants to force me, including you! Qiao Yi'an stood up, excited, and walked out the door after speaking.
"Ian, you're back." Yuan Yazhu came up and blocked him, "I know why you suddenly want to marry Liu Yunxi, it's because of rumors, you're afraid that she won't be able to stand it and affect her work, and you're even more afraid that she will leave Guanghua, right?" β
Qiao Yi'an glanced at her, noncommittal, and walked sideways to the door.
"Stop!" Yuan Yazhu blocked him again, looked back at the two fathers, and lowered his voice, "I have a way to quell the rumors and let Liu Yunxi teach with peace of mind, but you have to appease the two old men now, especially your father, who is in a very bad state." As she spoke, she gestured to Joe and motioned for him to come over.
Qiao Yi'an carefully examined Yuan Yazhu, thought for a moment, and turned around and walked towards the two fathers: "Father, Uncle Yuan, it's not too early, the second elder should go and rest first, and we'll talk about this matter later." I'm sorry, I'll go first. β
When passing by the door, Qiao Yi'an opened the door directly and went out, the door that was about to close suddenly opened again, Qiao Yi'an turned back, looked at Yuan Yazhu who was still standing by the door and said, "Remember what you said." β
He closed the door with a bang and left.
Although the unusual meeting between the two families was not seen, it also broke up unhappily.
The reason why Yuan Yazhu promised Qiao Yi'an to quell the rumors and let Liu Yunxi work with peace of mind was because she saw Qiao Yi'an's stubbornness and toughness, if she didn't stop him at that time, hold his heart, follow his wishes, and temporarily calm the anxiety and impulsiveness in his heart, maybe he would do something more ridiculous. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to end at that time. Of course, from the school's point of view, Song Shaorong's words are not unreasonable, so in public and private, this rumor must be quelled by her Principal Yuan.
The next morning, an urgent notice was issued from the principal's office, and all staff met in the conference room between the first periods. At the meeting, Yuan Yazhu was stern, and made strict criticisms of the rumors about Director Qiao Yi'an and Teacher Liu Yunxi in the past two days, and finally, moved out of the Guanghua School system and discipline to emphasize again that similar rumors are not allowed to appear on campus again, and they will be strictly investigated and dismissed immediately!
Liu Yunxi, who didn't know the truth, looked at Yuan Yazhu gratefully, full of respect.
Following the "cheating" turmoil, Liu Yunxi crossed this "river of saliva" gushing out for no reason. Get back to work with a new look and meet the October monthly exams.
