They didn’t address the incident in Class 7 but called Sheng Yang, Ou Ye, and Fang Duo to the office along with Chen Lan.
Upon seeing this, the other teachers in the office all left, except for Li Mei who didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving. She even wanted to stick her face against the door to eavesdrop.
One of the organizers said to Li Mei, “Teacher, please leave for a moment.”
“Oh…” Li Mei walked toward the exit reluctantly. “Can’t I just stay? There’s nothing to hide.”
However, the office door was still mercilessly closed in front of her.
Ou Ye and Fang Duo were very nervous because this was the first time they had to face so many professionals. They were all smart middle-aged men, especially Cai Hongming, who was obviously a successful businessman. They felt a little uncomfortable being at the center of attention.
Sheng Yang looked at them. “Please make it short.”
Her time was precious.
The organizers looked at each other in shock. Not only was she not afraid, but she even spoke to them with such a tone.
Cai Hongming wasn’t surprised to hear that.
“Sheng Yang, to prove your innocence, I’d better give you another test.”
Cai Hongming wasn’t sure about his verdict and wanted to prove it.
Sheng Yang looked at him.
“No.” She flatly refused.
Chen Lan broke into a cold sweat.
Although Chen Lan knew Sheng Yang was an honest girl, this was a good opportunity to prove herself.
She was afraid that Sheng Yang would be stubborn. She had never taken the normal route.
As expected…
The principal, who had always liked Sheng Yang, tried to persuade her. “Sheng Yang, listen to Mr. Cai. It won’t take you long to do the test.”
It was worth taking the time to do it if it was for the sake of upholding her reputation.
He never doubted Sheng Yang. In the beginning, the vice-principal had advised him not to let Sheng Yang participate in the business war, but he insisted, which proved that he had full confidence in Sheng Yang.
In all his years of teaching, he had never met such a smart child before.
She had a unique character, which was both a blessing and a misfortune for her.
Sometimes, to achieve a good outcome, she needed to learn to restrain herself a little.
“No.” Sheng Yang didn’t change her mind.
The organizers weren’t like Cai Hongming, so they were a little annoyed. “Sheng Yang, you’re wasting our time. The internet is filled with negative public opinion about you. As time goes by, it’ll greatly affect you, Yan City High School, and the entire business war. This isn’t the first year of the business war yet this is the first time such a thing has happened even after so many years.”
Sheng Yang raised her amber eyes and chuckled, saying arrogantly, “That’s because the students who participated in the previous business wars were too weak.”
“…”
“F*ck!” Ou Ye couldn’t help but blurt this out in front of the teachers. He then hurriedly covered his mouth.
Chen Lan facepalmed. She couldn’t take it anymore. She would just let things develop naturally.
There was no such thing as having the best of both worlds.
Sheng Yang was also smart enough to know how to be straightforward.
