Chapter 149: Chapter 148: Why Provoke a Big Shot?
Xu Jiahui: My wrist is broken, how can you say there’s nothing wrong?
Su Luo: Could it be that Director Qimo is protecting Class 25?
School leaders, puzzled, “Why is there such a big fuss?”
Xiao Qimo, unruffled, said, “These two students were fighting over something during the break and knocked over a desk.”
“Oh, is that so?” the school leader asked casually.
Xu Jiahui lifted his head in shock, looked at Su Luo, then pointed at himself. Director Qimo must have made a mistake. The two of them, fighting over something? Knocking over desks?
They were clearly the victims. Lu Mian was the real culprit!
How did the victims end up taking the blame?
Yet Director Qimo’s eyes, devoid of warmth, looked at him, so confining and terrifying…
Su Luo gave him a tug, and he could only grit his teeth and nod.
The school leader left leisurely with hands behind his back.
Su Luo and Xu Jiahui also followed Xiao Qimo into the office.
“Director Qimo, it wasn’t like that, listen to my explanation!”
Xu Jiahui wanted to explain, but Xiao Qimo didn’t give him the chance, not even showing interest in the details of their fight.
He sat calmly and elegantly on the sofa, instructing indifferently, “You, go clean the men’s restroom.”
Xu Jiahui shook his loose, swollen wrist that looked like a steamed bun.
Asking him to clean the restroom?
He’s injured , and still expected to do cleaning duties?
Reading Xu Jiahui’s thoughts, Xiao Qimo’s gaze drifted to Ye Jinwen.
Ye Jinwen stood up from his chair and without asking, he took Xu Jiahui’s wrist, popping it back into place in an instant.
The movements were rough, bringing tears to Xu Jiahui’s eyes.
“It’s nothing serious, you’ll be able to clean the restroom,” said Ye Jinwen, before sitting back at his desk and getting back to his work.
They must have provoked Lu Mian!
Why provoke anyone else when you could challenge the boss?
One boss beats you up like it’s sport; the other is so scheming it makes you question your life.
Tsk, isn’t it good to be alive?
Xu Jiahui didn’t dare talk back, silently took the tools, and headed to the restroom.
Su Luo couldn’t understand, “Director Qimo, Xu Jiahui is at fault, but isn’t Lu Mian’s beating someone even more serious…?”
Xiao Qimo smiled, “Are you Su Lo’s granddaughter?”
“Yes. I’ve seen you at home before, but I didn’t have a chance to greet you then.”
The man, uninterested in listening, gave a nod of his chin, “Then you’re responsible for cleaning my office.”
This was not the turn of events she had anticipated!
“Director Qimo, what about Lu Mian?”
“I’ll take care of it.”
The two went from confusion to more confusion. Yet, facing the school’s iron-clad and ruthless guidance director, they doubted internally but didn’t dare to object outwardly.
After they finally finished cleaning, Xu Jiahui followed Su Luo back to the classroom in utter disarray.
“Su Luo, what does Director Qimo mean by this?”
Su Luo, rubbing her sore wrist, was no stranger to tedious tasks, and she felt equally exhausted. She was just as perplexed and could only come up with one explanation.
“Director Qimo did it for the discipline of our class.”
“Discipline?” Xu Jiahui looked at his swollen wrist, “That must be because of you that Director Qimo did this.”
But something didn’t sit right with him.
“Let’s not make a fuss about this incident and just appreciate the director’s kindness,” she suggested.
Xu Jiahui felt unsatisfied, “Are we just going to let Lu Mian off then? For the sake of class honor, I can keep quiet. But Lu Mian attacking someone should warrant more serious punishment!”
“Director Qimo said he’ll handle her, so you don’t need to worry about it. In the future, don’t mess with Lu Mian’s stuff!” Su Luo cautioned.
“It was just a notebook, not some secret girls’ diary…”
Su Luo also didn’t fully understand, but she remembered seeing that pink notebook somewhere.
Forget those matters.
“Isn’t it better if you outdo them academically, than anything else?” she said with a pause.
With this fight, the demerits against Lu Mian were only accumulating.
Could she still remain in such an investment group?
