Principal Wu's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone, "Director Zhang, thank you for your hard work."

Director Zhang said seriously, "Principal Wu, if Mr. Niu buys the school, you must speak well of me in front of Manager Li. To be honest, I've had enough of being the Dean of Studies."

Principal Wu agreed very readily, "Director Zhang, that's for sure. You will be promoted to principal in due time."

Director Zhang wanted to continue trying to please Principal Wu, but Principal Wu ended the call succinctly, "Director Zhang, I'll buy you a drink when I'm free. Let's not talk anymore. I have something else to do. I'm hanging up now."

After hanging up the phone, Principal Wu immediately called Li Siyu.

"Manager Li, the students who caused the trouble are now on their way to find Hao Dongmei. Please send a reporter to report the incident immediately."

When Li Siyu heard this, she was secretly delighted.

She couldn't help but praise him, "That's great, Principal Wu. Your predictions are really accurate."

Principal Wu took the opportunity to take credit, "Manager Li, you can trust me to do the job. I will definitely do a great job on the task you give me."

Li Siyu asked with concern, "Principal Wu, have you completed all the employment formalities?"

"done."

"Then behave well. I will be accompanying Mr. Niu on a business trip to Kyoto these few days. I will mention you more in front of him then..."

"Okay, thank you, Manager Li."

"No more talking. Keep in touch with me by phone at any time. If there is any movement in Sun Xue's company, notify me immediately. Got it?"

"clear."

New Education Office.

Hao Dongmei was chatting with several of her students who had come from other places when Director Zhang called.

Hao Dongmei frowned when she saw the number.

Among the four schools in Demon City, the one that gave her the most headaches was the school where Director Zhang was.

Principal Wu was fired by her, and a suitable candidate for the principal has not been found yet. Director Zhang has recommended himself to her several times and wants to be the principal.

This would have been a good thing, but after meeting Director Zhang several times, Hao Dongmei did not have a good impression of him. Director Zhang was very scheming, so she eventually gave up the idea.

The franchisees of this school have complained to her many times, saying that after Principal Wu was expelled, the forum was full of negative news, and the students were very emotionally unstable and full of complaints.

She understood that all this was caused by Principal Wu behind the scenes.

After answering the phone, Hao Dongmei asked calmly, "What's the matter, Director Zhang?"

Director Zhang on the other end of the phone sounded very aggrieved. "Manager Hao, the students just came to me to ask for a refund. I tried my best to persuade them, but... they simply wouldn't listen. So I called to report this situation to you."

“Why do you want a refund?”

"My classmates said that the company's CEO and Mr. Sun had both fled. I clarified to them that it was all rumors. I called Mr. Sun but her phone was always turned off. I heard that Ms. Sun was sick and hospitalized. When will she be discharged? Is Bach also in the hospital? When can he come back?"

"Mr. Sun and Bach will be back soon. You should communicate with your classmates first. I'll be there soon."

Director Zhang said hypocritically, "Manager Hao, please don't come over yet. Are you in the company now?"

"I'm here."

"I've been talking so much that my lips are almost worn out. These students are simply unreasonable. I originally wanted to do some ideological work on them and didn't want to cause you trouble because of this matter, but they were very emotional and said that I, a small director, had no right to talk to them. They insisted on looking for you, and I couldn't stop them..."

Director Zhang completely distanced himself from the issue and presented himself as someone who always cared about the company.

He was calculating very much in his mind, trying his best to please both sides.

If Mr. Niu fails to acquire Sun Xue's school by then, his position as principal will be in vain. Moreover, he dare not compromise with Principal Wu's character, so he has to leave a way out for himself and leave a good impression in front of Hao Dongmei.

"I understand." Hao Dongmei replied unhappily.

Director Zhang said with concern, "Manager Hao, these students are very angry now, please be careful, I am afraid they will get angry with you. I have something urgent to deal with now, I will rush over as soon as I finish it..."

"I'll take care of it. Okay, I'm going to hang up now. I have other things to do."

Hao Dongmei could naturally hear the flattering tone in Director Zhang's voice. She had no good feelings towards this man and was unwilling to waste time with him on the phone.

She even wondered what Director Zhang's purpose was in making this call.

Less than half an hour after I hung up the phone, the office door was pushed open violently.

Immediately afterwards, a large crowd of people rushed into the office.

Hao Dongmei was surprised to see a room full of classmates. Even his students were shocked to see this scene.

"Refund, full refund!"

"Yes, retreat now!"

"This is a scam company, and the boss is also a scammer!"

......

Before Hao Dongmei could even open her mouth, the crowd became chaotic, with indignant classmates denouncing her.

During this period, Hao Dongmei has experienced many such scenes, but this time, so many classmates came together to make trouble, which really surprised her.

She tried to keep herself calm and spoke in a gentle tone;

"Classmates, calm down for a moment. I admit that the company has had some minor problems recently, but please believe that the problem will be solved soon. I will definitely fulfill the promise I made to you. Please do not believe the rumors. I know someone is deliberately trying to deceive you."

The students simply couldn't listen to her words and stood up to refute:

“We don’t want to hear your excuses. We paid a high tuition fee and you keep saying you will be responsible for us. Is this how you are going to be responsible?

The teachers were just messing around with us all day, Principal Wu came to solve our problems, and the company's CEO stayed away. Not only did you not solve the problem, you fired the principal and beat him up. Is this what you said you would be responsible for us?"

"That's right! If you can't make the decision, let Mr. Sun come out to solve it for us. If Mr. Sun can't make the decision, let the foreigners come out to solve it. Why don't they come out to solve it?"

Hao Dongmei hurriedly explained, "Students, it's not what you think. Mr. Sun is seriously ill and lying in the hospital, and Bach is on a business trip and hasn't returned yet."

"Don't listen to her lies. The boss has already run away!"

"Refund! If you don't refund us today, we won't leave!"

Amid the noisy crowd, several reporters held up cameras and recorded it all.
