Chapter 687: Donating School Buildings
"Mom, you don’t let me hit people." Doudou looked at his mom with grievance. He also knew that his strength was beyond that of ordinary people. He was trying to control his power; otherwise, he could knock someone out with just one punch.
As he grew older, his strength became even greater.
"Doudou was very good today. If someone bullies you again, Mom will allow you to hit them, just as long as you don’t kill them." Xu Mumu said gently.
"Yu Yi, thank you for protecting Yin Si today." Xu Mumu approached Yu Yi and sincerely thanked him. The little guy’s face was a bit swollen.
"No, it’s okay, Yin Si even explained things we didn’t understand to us. He’s really impressive." Yu Yi’s face turned red. He felt a bit embarrassed that a younger kid had to help him with his studies.
While Xu Mumu was chatting with a few kids, Principal Luo arrived.
As soon as Principal Luo saw Xu Mumu, he immediately greeted her.
"You must be Mr. Xu’s wife, nice to meet you. I’m the principal of this school. Sorry about what happened here." Principal Luo apologized immediately upon arrival.
This person could directly call the boss behind all this; her identity surely wasn’t ordinary. She couldn’t be offended. Besides, on the way here, he’d already figured out the whole story, and it really wasn’t their fault.
"Principal, how could you cover for them? Look at how they beat up my son. My husband is Liu Xiangdong." Xie Yinghong looked at Principal Luo with dissatisfaction.
"When did I ever cover for them? Fang, could you please explain the whole situation?" The principal was welcoming to Xu Mumu but wasn’t polite to Xie Yinghong. He knew Liu Xiangdong, who always used his position as a board member to meddle in school affairs, even putting in quite a number of cronies into the school.
This time Mr. Huo intervened. That Liu Xiangdong will soon be kicked off the board.
Fang Xuemei once again explained the whole story without any embellishment.
Annoyed by Fang Xuemei’s insightlessness, Xie Yinghong glared at her several times, planning to have her husband get rid of Fang Xuemei after this matter. She wasn’t fit to stay in this school; she was too annoying.
"I’ve already learned about this matter, and it is indeed Liu Chuan’s fault. At such a young age, he tries to steal others’ belongings and refuses to admit his mistake. Liu Chuan, apologize to Yin Si and the other two." Principal Luo said with a stern face.
"I don’t want to! I won’t!" Liu Chuan looked fearfully at Principal Luo, continually hiding behind his mother.
"Apologize." Principal Luo frowned. This kind of spoiled child was the first he had seen. Looking at the few honest kids over there, the contrast was stark.
"Why should my son apologize? They ganged up to bully him," Xie Yinghong said indignantly, not expecting Principal Luo to openly side with these few people.
"Because he stole, and because he was the one who hit first." Principal Luo responded displeased.
"I won’t." Liu Chuan still hid. He didn’t want to apologize to Xu Mingfeng and the others. Their stuff was always so nice, and so many classmates played with them, just not him. He didn’t like any of them.
"Don’t be too pleased. I’ll call my husband right now. Principal Luo, you openly protect them; I will go to the press to expose you." Xie Yinghong threatened them fiercely.
"Please do. Liu Xiangdong has accepted various benefits and opened back doors for his relatives and friends. I also plan to share this with the outside world. When I return, I will weed out all those who got in through connections." Principal Luo sneered, holding authority as if it were a mere trifle, they’ve truly been coddled.
"You!" Xie Yinghong’s face fell, surprised that Principal Luo would be so unrelenting.
"Fine, just you wait." Xie Yinghong dragged her son out of the office.
"Principal, aren’t you going to stop her?" Watching Xie Yinghong leave, Fang Xuemei worriedly looked at Principal Luo.
"It’s okay, we can just use this to advertise our school." Principal Luo appeared calm. He knew who was behind this school, and the press naturally knew too. Without Huo Qingze’s consent, who would dare to expose this? Besides, even if it was exposed, they weren’t at fault.
Principal Luo apologized to Xu Mumu and promised to expel them.
Xu Mumu felt satisfied. It was beyond her expectations that Principal Luo could go this far. She had initially thought of just forcing an apology from the Liu family, but it seemed that Huo Qingze’s influence was quite handy.
"Thank you for handling this, Principal Luo," Xu Mumu said, satisfied.
"No problem, no problem. Yin Si and his classmates excel academically. I’m hoping they’ll bring glory to the school in the future," Principal Luo said with a flattering smile.
"We still should thank the Principal. I will inform Huo Qingze. By the way, I noticed there are a lot of students here; the school buildings must be insufficient. I plan to donate two teaching buildings." Xu Mumu said calmly. For the sake of her son’s comfort at school, she was willing to be generous.
"That would be wonderful. Shall we discuss the building matter in my office?" Principal Luo’s eyes lit up; he had some understanding of the people behind this.
Fang Xuemei stood there stunned. Who on earth were these people? Donating school buildings, it seemed a bit unreal.
"Since Mr. Xu is so generous, I can’t be stingy. Here’s my business card. If the school ever needs any study materials or textbooks, feel free to ask me, just cover the cost." Yu Mian handed his card to Principal Luo.
"Mr. Yu is way too kind." Principal Luo beamed, surprised by the unexpected benefits of dealing with Xie Yinghong. He almost wished she’d come around more often.
Letting the three kids wait in Fang’s office, Xu Mumu and Yu Mian went to Principal Luo’s office together.
"Yin Si, your mom seems pretty impressive." Fang Xuemei was curious about the identities of Xu Mumu and her family. She was especially thankful she stuck to her instincts earlier and didn’t succumb to Xie Yinghong; otherwise, these people could easily ruin her.
"My mom is the best." Doudou said seriously.
"Right, right, sis is the best, even better than big bro and second bro, as awesome as my brother-in-law." Fengfeng said with admiration.
Fang Xuemei: ... She wasn’t here for flattering remarks; she wanted to know who Xu Mumu’s family was. Oh well, they’re just kids. If they go back and talk too much, it wouldn’t be good for her either.
Earlier, she feared losing her job, but now it seemed her position was quite secure. As long as she taught these kids well, she’d undoubtedly receive substantial bonuses.
