Chapter 130: The Headmaster's Greed
Early the next morning, Zhou Changde asked Xiao Chen to send him to school after breakfast, because he didn't know why the principal invited him to come to school, and he came to school, so Zhou Changde did not give a salute. In his heart, he thought that if his guess yesterday came true, the worst plan was to go to the principal's house later and make up for it.
Wu Hua watched at the door of the principal's office, he had been waiting here for dozens of minutes. The principal hurriedly called him for questioning, so he came before he put down his schoolbag, I thought it would be good for the principal to ask a few words, but after the principal finished asking, he had to let him stand in the corridor and wait for Zhou Changde, which was really annoying.
Wu Hua put his schoolbag on his shoulder, but his eyes glanced at the corridor from time to time, Wu Hua secretly thought in his heart, he really looked like a student who was punished waiting for his parents to pick it up.
After a while, Zhao Yuan and his mother came over.
Zhao Yuan's mother is very beautiful, there is a kind of intellectual beauty, and seeing Wu Hua standing at the door at this moment, Zhao Yuan and his mother both stopped.
"You are Wu Hua?" The voice is gentle and good, without any frame at all, but his eyes are inadvertently looking at Wu Hua.
"Hello aunt." Wu Hua politely said hello, but she was worried that she would settle accounts for Zhao Yuan for herself.
Zhao Yuan's mother looked at Wu Hua and smiled, and said, "My family Xiaoyuan is more stubborn, if you have any offense, I hope you will bear with me."
Li Meixiu knew very well what her son's temper was, so even if she knew that her son had been beaten, she didn't chase after the school to seek justice, she just suffered some skin injuries, and she recovered after a few days, but I don't know what the principal's purpose was for inviting me today.
Wu Hua was a little stunned when he heard this, Zhao Yuan's mother not only didn't settle accounts with him, but instead put the blame on Zhao Yuan, what is the situation?
Zhao Yuan was unwilling, obviously he was the one who was injured, but his mother was good, and he was so polite to Wu Hua, and he blamed himself for everything.
"Mom, how can there be someone like you, it's obvious that he is not right to beat someone." Zhao Yuan muttered, indignant in his heart.
Li Meixiu frowned and glanced at her son, and said angrily: "If it weren't for you to make trouble, people would beat you for no reason?"
"I ......" Zhao Yuan was a little speechless, it was indeed he who caused trouble first, so he couldn't refute it.
Wu Hua secretly gave Li Meixiu a thumbs up in his heart, he was worthy of being born in a big family, and he was different. But he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if this Zhao Yuan had his mother who knew how to be polite, he would not have been beaten in the first place.
"Xiaohua." Wu Hua was thinking about it, when he saw Zhou Changde coming from outside the corridor.
"Brother Zhou, you're here." Wu Hua was happy for a moment and shouted with a smile.
"Mrs. Zhao is here too." Zhou Changde greeted Li Meixiu and stopped in front of them.
"Mr. Zhou knows Wu Hua's children?"
Looking at the interaction between Zhou Changde and Wu Hua, Li Meixiu was a little confused, she only remembered that Zhou Changde often ran to school for Zhou Houming's affairs, and she occasionally met a few times because of this, but she had never heard of what he had to do with Wu Hua, so she asked.
Zhou Changde smiled heartily, not knowing how to explain his relationship with Wu Hua, so he smiled and planned to pass it over, and said: "Xiaohua is a friend of the dog, and his family is far away, so he asked Zhou to come here, and I don't know how the principal wants to solve this matter."
Zhou Changde meant something, in fact, he wanted to hear Mrs. Zhao's attitude towards this matter, after all, Zhao Yuan was the victim, and the attitude of the Zhao family was the key.
"If something like this happens, it's not good to spread the word, our family originally planned to calm things down, but I don't know what the principal's purpose is for coming to us."
Li Meixiu heard what Zhou Changde meant, and she really didn't want to make a big deal about it, so she directly said her thoughts.
After hearing this, Zhou Changde went to the bottom of his heart, the Zhao family will not pursue it, so now it depends on how the principal wants to solve it, it is estimated that it is a problem of money.
"Alright, let's go see what the headmaster has to say."
"It's fine."
Zhou Changde and Li Meixiu walked into the principal's office one after another, Wu Hua and Zhao Yuan glanced at each other, and followed with their heads down.
"Principal Liang, long time no see." Zhou Changde took the lead and walked in.
Principal Liang had already heard the movement outside the door, so he took out his textbook and pretended to be a copywriter. This will listen to Zhou Changde shout, and then raise his eyes to look at the door.
"Boss Zhou, long time no see." Principal Liang put down his work and stood up. Then he saw Mrs. Zhao behind him, so he politely said hello.
"Hello Principal Liang." Mrs. Zhao also greeted politely.
"Come, everyone sit down first." Principal Liang motioned for Zhou Changde and Mrs. Zhao to sit on the stool on the side of Pang.
Zhou Changde and Mrs. Zhao sat down, while Wu Hua and Zhao Yuan stood behind each other's parents, waiting for Principal Liang's fate.
Principal Liang chatted with Zhou Changde and Mrs. Zhao about the past, and inadvertently talked about Zhou Houming, saying that he has worked hard recently, and his grades have improved greatly, and he is not as stubborn as before. Zhou Changde was very relieved to hear it, and praised it and said that this was the credit of the principal and the school, and Principal Liang was overjoyed when he heard it, but he didn't talk about Zhao Yuan and Wu Hua.
Seeing that Principal Liang was delayed in entering the topic, Li Meixiu was a little anxious, and when she saw that Principal Liang and Zhou Changde finished chatting about a topic, she asked directly to the point: "Principal Liang, I don't know what the principal has about the fight between our Xiaoyuan and classmate Wu?"
Finally cut into the topic, Principal Liang was even more excited in his heart, he was embarrassed to open his mouth just now, so he went around with Zhou Changde in a half circle, and now Mrs. Zhao asked first, she could talk about the topic.
"The school does not allow fights, and the behavior of Zhao Yuan and Wu Hua has seriously violated the school rules, and the school council has begun to strictly investigate this matter." What Principal Liang said was so serious that even Wu Hua on the side believed it a little.
"So serious?" Mrs. Zhao frowned and asked with a little sorrow.
"Yes." Principal Liang nodded, his expression was serious, and Mrs. Zhao was even more worried.
"Is there any direct solution to that?" Zhou Changde didn't think that things were so tricky, he guessed that Principal Liang must have left a hand, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to invite them here.
"Yes, yes, but ......" Principal Liang looked at the expectant eyes of the four of them, but there was a little more Jiujiu in his heart, if he directly asked for money, wouldn't they think that he wanted to embezzle, if he didn't want money, then why did he bother so much? I don't know how much money they can pay, they are afraid of scaring away if they shout too much, and they are worried about losing money if they shout less.
Principal Liang hesitated for a while, looked at Zhao Yuan and Wu Hua behind Zhou Changde and Mrs. Zhao, Principal Liang coughed lightly and said, "Zhao Yuan and Wu Hua, you go out first."
Zhao Yuan and Wu Hua looked at each other, not knowing what tricks the principal was playing, but just now when they heard the strict investigation by the council, their hearts were already up and down, so they didn't stay at this meeting, and the two of them went out of the office together.
Seeing Wu Hua and Zhao Yuan walking out of the office, Principal Liang straightened up, looked at Zhou Changde and Mrs. Zhao, and saw that there was nothing unusual about them, so he said: "This matter is not trivial, if the council can't suppress it, it will have a great impact on the future of the two of them."
After listening to Principal Liang's words, Mrs. Zhao fell into deep thought, her son's future is related to the honor of the Zhao family, if this incident affects her son's future, the Zhao family will definitely become a joke in the circle, and Lao Zhao will lose face, how can this matter be solved? Mrs. Zhao thought about it in her heart, but she didn't have a clue for a while.
Zhou Changde seemed relatively calm, he knew what Principal Liang's intentions were, and at the moment he was just showing himself and Mrs. Zhao, so Zhou Changde didn't think too much, but quietly waited for Principal Liang to explain the next step.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Principal Liang also fell into his own considerations, how much money would he have to say later, so that they could not doubt it and pay it quickly?
Ten thousand? Thirty thousand?
Principal Liang is also a little contradictory, with only tens of thousands of yuan, Li Meixiu should be no problem, after all, the Zhao family is a famous family with a head and a face. But Zhou Changde didn't dare to guarantee, firstly, Wu Hua was not his son, and Wu Hua's future had nothing to do with him, and secondly, Wu Hua and him were only in a cooperative relationship.
But things have already begun, and if you want to turn back, you have to go through a lot of trouble again, alas, since that's the case, so be it.
"Principal Liang, is there a way to solve it?" Mrs. Zhao's face was calm, but her heart was very anxious. It would be great if it could be resolved privately.
When Principal Liang heard this, he knew that Mrs. Zhao was in a hurry, and he was happy, so he said, "I can come forward to talk to the council, but it's ......."
"But what?" When Mrs. Zhao heard the conversation, she was anxious and asked.
Principal Liang looked at Mrs. Zhao, then at Zhou Changde, and saw that Zhou Changde still looked calm, and was thinking about whether to say it, but Zhou Changde opened his mouth.
"If there is a way to solve it, Principal Liang might as well say it directly, as long as it can be solved with a little money, Mrs. Zhao and I can accept it, but if it really involves too much, it is to invite Wu Hua's parents to come and visit, after all, I can't make decisions on my own." Zhou Changde was not ready to speak, but he was worried that Principal Liang would open his mouth, so he opened his mouth to give the principal a reminder.
"Yes, yes, what Mr. Zhou said is that if it is really difficult to solve, then I can only talk to Lao Zhao and let him run this matter, after all, there is only one son, and Lao Zhao values it more than me." Mrs. Zhao glanced at Zhou Changde gratefully, if she still couldn't see Principal Liang's purpose clearly, then she would be the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family in vain.
This matter is not serious, but Principal Liang is holding on to it, saying that what the council will investigate and what will affect the future of the child is just a cover played by Principal Liang, the purpose is to make the Wu and Zhao families pay to fill Principal Liang's stomach.
