Chapter 174: Chapter 174: The People in Our Village Have Never Been to A City (Monthly Ticket + Update)
"You brought a family member?" The principal first peered at Suizi, then shifted his gaze to Yu Jingting’s face.
"The dorm is small, might not be enough space for two."
"My reference, Professor Wang, didn’t specify that I can’t bring family. If I need to, I can ask him?" Suizi feigned confusion.
Seeing that he couldn’t intimidate these two country kids, the principal could only open the gate to let Yu Jingting’s tractor in.
"Come and report to my office first, then I’ll show you to your dorm. And you, the family member. This might be a night school, but it’s still a place of learning. You folks from the country, used to it as you might be, can’t just litter and relieve yourselves wherever you please."
The meaning of his discrimination was unmistakable, even to the yellow guard dog by his side, which barked fiercely at Suizi and Yu Jingting.
It tried to bite them, and, if the rope holding it back had been just a tad too short, it could have pounced.
Yu Jingting laughed coldly at the yellow dog. Was it relying on having human back-up?
Excellent, he memorized that.
Even Suizi, with her good temper, was growing tired. Insults to the principal fizzed around her head; she just didn’t know which one was the best fit.
"We farmers don’t know much, compared to the wise principal. I hope you can teach me more in the future."
Yu Jingting changed his demeanor completely, smiling in a simple but sincere way that had even the buttered-up principal letting down his guard a little. Lifting his eyelids, he scrutinized Yu Jingting.
Yu Jingting was tall and strongly built, swathed in a military overcoat, his intimidating demeanor hidden by a large woolly hat.
It was hard to tell if it was his cream-colored scarf making him look too refined, or his portrayal of simplicity too authentic, but the principal genuinely believed the young man before him was a naive, unworldly soul.
Suizi looked at a seemingly overly honest Yu Jingting, doubting that he transformed into a good person after moving to the city.
It didn’t take long for her to find out.
The quieter he became, the more mischievous he got.
He had not only courage, but also a plan.
The principal asked Suizi to his office and kept Yu Jingting waiting outside.
He said a bunch of nonsense, his shifty eyes kept wandering over Suizi.
The teachers in this night school are all part-time staff from other schools, with just a few full-time staff.
As principal, he was the head, with a secretary as well.
As the Director of Academic Affairs, Suizi was the third in command, overseeing two teachers who were in charge of enrolment and registration.
There were only five of them, two of whom didn’t stay over in the dormitory.
Three families lived in the compound, including the sneaky-looking principal.
Suizi had only chatted briefly with him, but she already understood the kind of character he was.
He loved praising his own achievements and was a little lewd, with a seemingly not very sharp mind.
For one, the way he tried to show off his power to Yu Jingting was not something a smart person would do.
Suizi was only twenty, having been sent to work under the principal at such a young age, it was clear to anyone with half a brain that she must have strong connections.
Chen Lijun worked in Beijing. Suizi didn’t know which department she was in, but for her to be able to secure a potential position for Suizi with such ease was indicative of her influence there.
The principal, seeing the twenty-year-old Suizi, who came from rural areas, thought he could easily fool her. After boasting for a while, the principal lifted a large cup of tea and leaned towards Suizi.
He sat next to Suizi. As Suizi moved over, he moved along.
"Chenchen, there’s a lot you don’t know yet. I’m the top dog in this school. If you ever face any difficulties, feel free to come to me." While he spoke, he tried to touch Suizi’s leg.
That’s a classic case of workplace harassment.
A couple taps on the leg, one could argue it’s just friendly patting from a superior. If Suizi reacts strongly, she’d seem disrespectful.
Moreover, it’s quite often that young girls new to the world are taken advantage of in this manner.
But Suizi isn’t a typical young girl. Having been a businesswoman in her past life, she’s seen her share of shameless people and knows how to deal with them.
Just as his hand was about to reach her leg, Suizi stood up and walked over to the wall, pretending to admire a calligraphy painting.
"This character is well written. Did you write it?"
The principal reluctantly pulled his hand back, still keen to approach Suizi and breathe in the scent of her hair.
"Crash!"
"Crash, crash!"
Sounds of glass breaking came from outside, more than one window.
And the yellow dog began to howl.
Yu Jingting knocked on the door and pointed outside innocently.
"Whose window was that? The dog was scared too."
"Eh hem." Suizi coughed, her gaze sweeping over Yu Jingting’s pocketed hand.
She remembered, didn’t he bring his slingshot along?
The principal couldn’t afford to take advantage of Suizi anymore, and rushed outside to check.
The windows of two rooms were broken. Yu Jingting’s years of practice smashing windows didn’t go to waste.
The yellow dog, which was previously barking at Suizi and Yu Jingting, was now whimpering on the ground.
The principal stood amidst the glass shards, both furious and anxious.
Yu Jingting stood next to Suizi, laughing and watching the scene.
"Principal, what happened?" A young woman from the house next door came out. Seeing the principal fussing, the corner of her mouth twitched upward.
Just one expression, and Suizi was sure that the principal, who was having a rough time, was regularly a nuisance to others. His current predicament was a cause for celebration.
Suizi glanced at Yu Jingting, raising her eyebrows.
Her expression seemed to ask, how did you do it?
Yu Jingting looked up at the sky, implying it was no big deal.
"You, come here!" the principal called out to Yu Jingting.
"What happened?"
"Can you fix windows?"
"I can’t, we the rural folk are clueless, have never seen what a glass window looks like before." Yu Jingting pretended to be a country bumpkin, walked over to the broken window, and exclaimed exaggeratedly.
"So this is what a city’s glass looks like? This is my first time."
Suizi bowed her head, unable to suppress her laughter.
A comedian’s move to the city certainly brought much laughter.
"You have never seen glass? What do you live in then?" asked the principal in confusion.
"We are poor, we use paper for our windows. Layer upon layer of paper stuck together, lined with a plastic sheet on the outside."
Any sane person wouldn’t believe that.
Even the female teacher who came out to check on the situation quickly understood something was off. She looked at Yu Jingting’s parked tractor and then at the broken glass on the principal’s doorstep....
The female teacher quickly came over to Suizi, flashing a friendly smile.
"I am Wang Mengmeng, in charge of recruitment. You’re the new Director?"
"My name is Chen Hansui, and this is my husband, Yu Jingting."
Wang Mengmeng extended her hand to Suizi.
"Let me show you to the dormitory. You are technically my superior, Boss, please take care of me in the future."
"Oh wow, this glass from the big city is indeed crystal clear under the sunlight. Why is it so beautiful?"
Yu Jingting held a shard of glass up to the sun and started acting.
Probably figuring out that Yu Jingting was messing with him, the principal stared at Yu Jingting’s dramatic act.
"Your husband...is quite entertaining." Wang Mengmeng looked at Yu Jingting, her thoughts adding, also pretty accurate with a slingshot.
He took out both windows and the principal’s bully dog, all within a minute!
