Since he was finding the principal, he needed to go through the protocols.
“There is no need for that. I can call him now.” The man took out his cell phone and called a number. After a while, he smiled. “Uncle, I’m outside your school. I would like to ask one of your students to bring me in.”
“Yes, I met a lady outside your school. The lady is very vigilant so she wanted to me register at the guards first and call you. Do you want to talk to her?”
Uncle... Principal Cao had such an old nephew?
After Ye Jian confirmed the identity of this man, he brought the man, who had a bad sense of direction, into the school. From the man’s aura and appearance, he didn’t look like someone who would get lost easily.
Just now, when Principal Cao heard that she was the female student, he reminded her, “Classmate Ye Jian, you must hold him as if you’re holding a dog. You must bring him to my office.”
“He has no sense of direction. He could get lost on a crossroads. After walking for 200 meters, he would forget where he came from. However, don’t look down on him. He is a genius who can speak eight different languages. He is well-liked by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He is more important than a pet dog. Please don’t lose him.”
Ye Jian had been bearing with her laughter for a long time so when she heard Principal Cao telling her to hold his nephew as though she was holding a dog, she laughed. Fortunately, she only made one sound. Her training as a soldier allowed her to force her laughter back.
She glanced at the man who always walked ahead of her. His force of presence was great. He always walked faster than other people. This was a man who was used to walking at the front alone. He was not used to waiting.
He looked refined and gentle but he was a strong and introverted man.
This kind of man has no sense of direction? A man who could speak eight languages and was well-liked by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs... was someone who always got lost?
“You walked in the wrong direction. We should turn right, not left.” The man was walking properly when he suddenly changed his direction. Ye Jian hurriedly ran and caught up with him. “This is the way to the classrooms. This way is to the offices.”
The man stopped naturally. He seemed to be used to this kind of situation. He turned and smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry to trouble you.” He was elegant and gentlemanly. Even his apology was elegant.
“You’re welcome. It’s something I should do.” Ye Jian couldn’t accept such rampant apologies. She signaled him to turn right and then walked behind him again.
Just as he was about to reach the office building, the man’s expensive cell phone rang. When he took out his cell phone, he looked as though he had been trained before. He did it elegantly and naturally. Then, he used the tone of a news broadcaster and said, “Hello?”
The change in his tone and expression only took a second. The smile was still on his face as he continued with in the same tone, “That means that I need to be responsible for your mistake at work?”
“Because you never interacted with your client, you can make a mistake? Is this a valid reason? Do you think that all mistakes can be remedied?”
His smile and tone remained the same but his aura, coldness, and seriousness made him look dangerous.
