Chapter 87

87 Intentional
Gu Zhi looked at Gu Yuan’s expression and was anxious. She quickly asked, “Can… can Zhong Yao still come to Han City to study?”
Over the past two days, she had more or less learned about some school matters. She knew that Han City First High School was the best school in Han City. Zhong Yao’s results were not even considered the best in town. It would probably not be easy for her to get in. Fortunately, Gu Yuan guaranteed that she could get in, so she was relieved.
But now, looking at Gu Yuan’s expression, it seemed like things had changed.
She was feeling uneasy now. So she was looking forward to Zhong Yao studying in a good school, getting into a good university, and then making a name for herself. Then she could get rid of life in the countryside.
When Gu Yuan heard this, he quickly said, “Sister, don’t worry.”
As Gu Yuan spoke, Gu Man said to the servant, “Please send some fruits and snacks to my room.”
With that, she led Zhuang Yan upstairs.
Zhuang Yan looked at Gu Man’s room which could be said to be “simple” and couldn’t help but ask, “They’re harsh on you in terms of food and clothing?”
When Gu Man heard this, she smiled and said, “Not at all. The Gu family cares a lot about their reputation.”
Gu Man asked again, “Did Teacher deliberately mention the new rules for transfer students?”
Zhuang Yan sat down on a small sofa and revealed a sly smile. “I’m telling the truth, but I did say it on purpose. I saw that they were too smug, so it’s good to let them calm down and worry.”
Gu Man looked at Zhuang Yan’s expression and was slightly surprised. It seemed that the most terrifying teacher in Han City High School was only a legend.
Zhuang Yan didn’t know what Gu Man was thinking. She continued, “Actually, the new rules haven’t changed much. The agreement of all the school board members is actually just for show. This is because the other members usually won’t disagree with the people recommended by the school board members. After all, they have to recommend others themselves. Giving others convenience is giving yourself convenience. Everyone knows that.”
Gu Man and Zhuang Yan chatted casually as they ate their snacks, as if they were old friends.
Downstairs.
Gu Yuan started to call Principal Wu as soon as Gu Man and Wang Qian went upstairs. “Principal Wu, I heard that the rules for transfer students have changed?”
Principal Wu said in surprise, “You’re so well-informed.”
Gu Yuan asked again, “I know that the current school board has the Bai Family, Cui Family, and other families?”
These two families were both families that Gu Yuan could not reach at the moment.
“Are you thinking about it?” Principal Wu asked directly.
“Well, I originally wanted to tell you that I have a niece who wants to study at Han City First High and wanted to ask you to make an exception…
Principal Wu interrupted Gu Yuan, “Mr. Gu, I don’t have a choice now. Besides, your Gu Man gave me a headache last time. If another one comes, it’s indeed…”
Before President Wu could speak, Gu Yuan promised, “President Wu, don’t worry. This is the niece I’ve watched grow up. She’s smart and studious, mainly because she’s obedient.”
Principal Wu’s tone was a little regretful. “Even so, I have no choice this time. If you can find a recommendation from the school board member, I have no problem with it.”
The last time Gu Yuan let Gu Man enter Han City First High School, Principal Wu had received extremely generous benefits in private. However, it was not his turn to decide this time, so his heart ached.
When Gu Yuan heard this, he was slightly relieved. He asked, “Then who are the remaining board members?”
“I suggest you take a look at the Zhou Family or Zhuang Family? See if they can help you?”
Gu Yuan asked, “Is the Zhuang Family the family of Teacher Zhuang Yan of Han City High School?”
Principal Wu thought for a moment before replying, “I think so. Even if it’s not the main family, it should be related to Teacher Zhuang. Teacher Zhuang didn’t say it himself, but Director Zhuang vaguely mentioned it once.”
After Gu Yuan hung up, Old Madam Gu immediately asked, “How is it?”
Gu Yuan sat on the sofa with a frustrated expression on his face. “Although I’ve interacted with the nephew of the Zhou Family’s head, he doesn’t have enough weight in the Zhou Family. Moreover, there have been some unhappy business dealings recently. As for the Zhuang Family, we have no connection at all.”
When Qu Bei heard this, she immediately said, “How do we not have any connections? Weren’t we familiar with Teacher Zhuang just now?”
Gu Yuan felt a little helpless. Just now, Teacher Zhuang had been criticized openly and sarcastically. It was already good enough that she did not bear a grudge. How could she help?
