Chapter 140 Final Decision

He Xuan came in to call her father for dinner, but it seemed that her father didn't really want to eat right now.

Moreover, he was about to hit someone.

"..." Seeing his daughter cowering like a little mouse, He Hongtao quickly hid the anger on his face, suppressed his hand with a shallow smile, "Wait a moment."

"Mmm, mmm, mmm." He Xuan nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, then left, closing the door behind her.

And He Hongtao continued to talk on the phone with Chen Yuan.

Clearly, Chen Yuan on the other end was just like his own daughter, intimidated by this thunderous rage.

"Principal He... are you alright?" Chen Yuan asked with concern instead.

It's nothing, I'm fine.

Except for wanting to chop Zhang Jianjun into pieces, mince him finely, and make him into meat sauce.

This bastard, I treat him like a friend, and he treats me like a fool.

He's poaching people, poaching right at my school?

You dog, are you back to your old tricks?

This shameless guy, he's really going too far.

He's righteously prohibiting early love there.

Now he's giving my students the green light for early love.

He's even capable of doing such a thing, despicable!

At least I know to do it behind people's backs.

"No, it's nothing." He Hongtao forced a smile, answering.

No matter how angry he was, he couldn't show it in front of the students, lest he appear petty and lacking in stature.

Most importantly, he couldn't seem flustered.

What if Chen Yuan wanted to 'play the waiting game', consider the offers from both schools, and then make a decision? Wouldn't that throw him into chaos and put him at a disadvantage?

He had to be steady.

He had to retain this student, Chen Yuan, through wisdom.

"So, Chen Yuan, what are your thoughts?" He Hongtao asked with a reserved demeanor, smiling.

Then, he heard him say quite simply, "I refused."

These five words…

He Hongtao immediately gained a great sense of security.

You can imagine it.

You like a goddess, and the goddess likes you too.

You've agreed to be together after spending a certain number of days together.

At this time, someone richer and more handsome… no, not handsome, Zhang Jianjun isn't as handsome as me.

Anyway, someone richer and with a higher status expresses their affection for your goddess.

She doesn't tell you about it.

But you find out.

With a feeling of unease, you ask her if this is true.

Then she says, it is true.

Just when you're feeling a little disheartened, worried about not winning the competition, and even a little flustered, she smiles at you and says, as a matter of course: "I refused."

Think about it, what would your mood be like!

Do you understand?

Do you fully understand how powerful this sentence is to a sunny and cheerful principal?

You don't understand.

Because Zhang Jianjun really is very powerful and influential.

There are not many principals in the city who dare to compare their power and prestige with Zhang Jianjun.

"You… you refused directly?" He Hongtao's tone was a little unsteady when he spoke, even a little excited.

And the other party still had that same attitude, saying very clearly: "Yeah, I refused directly."

This kid is great!

Good refusal!

But, what was the reason for refusing?

Could it be that Zhang Jianjun was too stingy, his tone too arrogant, really treating his spot in Class One as a treasure?

If that was the case, it was indeed possible.

Of course, with Chen Yuan's kind nature, it was very likely that he was reluctant to leave his form teacher, Teacher Mo, and some of his classmates.

But for the sake of his classmates and teachers, could he give up the good opportunity to be with Xia Xinyu?

"So, you really love Eleventh High." He Hongtao asked with a smile, "So, what's your reason for not going?"

"I quite love Eleventh High, that's one reason."

Chen Yuan said quite casually on the other end: "If I go to Fourth High, I'll have to leave Teacher Mo and my classmates, as well as Zhou Fu and the others. I'm not very willing to do that."

"You really are an emotional person." He Hongtao exclaimed.

"And also…"

"Hmm? And also what?" He Hongtao asked.

Chen Yuan paused for a moment, then said with a smile: "Principal He is so concerned about me, I also want to get a good grade for Eleventh High, for you."

"..."

Instant kill.

A Zhejiang Satellite TV instant kill!

These words moved He Hongtao to the point of speechlessness, and his heart warmed.

What is this equivalent to?

It's still the same example as before.

You ask the goddess the reason for her refusal, and she gives some reasons that are not suitable for the other party.

Finally, she hesitates to say something.

You ask about it.

Then she looks at you and says frankly, "When he was pursuing me, I also thought of you. If I agreed, you would be very sad, right?"

He Hongtao now feels like he's a simp.

However, a happy simp!

Chen Yuan's response made him feel that everything was worth it.

It was very, very satisfying.

Chen Yuan wasn't just good at studying; in terms of character, he was also the moral high ground of Xia Hai.

Such a student was definitely the most loyal and righteous one he had ever seen in all these years.

This person could simply be said to be…

If he didn't already have Xia Xinyu, I would have given Xuan Xuan to him.

Then, a strong alliance.

Creating the strongest father-in-law and son-in-law combination with Chen Yuan in the education sector, or the political world.

And now, he wanted to make Chen Yuan his godson.

But such a thing, for someone at the top scholar level, might feel offensive, even though he really did have some strength, but ultimately, compared to the God of Literature, there was still a subtle difference…

"Teacher?" The other side thought he had hung up and asked curiously.

"Oh, oh… thank you." He Hongtao didn't know what to say all of a sudden, and even his tone started to become awkward, "This is my honor, really."

He Hongtao felt very fortunate to have a student like Chen Yuan.

It was like drawing a treasure, his luck index was maxed out.

"Then Principal He, please pretend you don't know about this. After all, the person Principal Zhang asked to convey the message has a very good relationship with me, and I don't want her to be in a difficult position at Fourth High in the future." Chen Yuan requested.

"Of course, I definitely won't say anything. If Principal Zhang really finds out about this, I'll explain it to him personally. I definitely won't make things difficult for anyone else, or for you." He Hongtao guaranteed, while also feeling relieved in his heart.

So, Zhang Jianjun doesn't have Chen Yuan's WeChat, they're not chatting directly?

It's good that they haven't added each other on WeChat.

Less junk information to receive.

He Hongtao now wanted to delete that guy Zhang Jianjun.

It's infuriating.

"Okay, then I'm going to eat." Chen Yuan said.

"Okay, go ahead." He Hongtao replied with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, he made a fist, very excited.

Then, he went to the living room.

After patting He Xuan's head, he sat down to eat.

"What's wrong? I heard Xuan Xuan say you weren't very happy earlier?" He Hongtao's wife asked.

"Well…" Seeing that it was his family, He Hongtao said directly, "Some shameless and unscrupulous person wanted to poach Chen Yuan. I called and asked just now. Then this kid told me that he refused. Moreover, it was because he didn't want to let down my concern for him."

"Oh? This kid's alright." He Hongtao's wife smiled, approvingly, "He's so thoughtful."

"That unscrupulous person wouldn't be…"

He Xuan wanted to ask.

"Take the most despicable person you can think of, the one that comes to mind, and that's him." He Hongtao said to He Xuan.

"Oh—" He Xuan suddenly understood.

Then, she lowered her head and started eating braised fish.

"What conditions did he use to poach Chen Yuan? Do you know?" He Hongtao's wife asked.

"That's right! How did I not think of that?"

Only then did He Hongtao remember that he had forgotten the most important thing.

Then, he set about doing it.

………

How did He Hongtao suddenly become so emotionally unintelligent?

Me not saying it ≠ I don't want it.

Zhang Jianjun even used some sweeteners to poach people, and he can even endorse my precious Xinyu, but you're not giving any benefits?

You cheapskate.

No, I'm a little angry.

Let's go, let's go to Fourth High.

With this slightly unhappy mood, Chen Yuan returned to the private room.

Then, he took the initiative to explain to everyone: "Teacher Mo asked about the situation of my classmates Zhou Yu and He Sijiao, and I chatted with him about it."

"Oh, what did you say?" Xia Xinyu said in surprise.

"I definitely can't say that I know they're in an early relationship." Chen Yuan replied, "I just said I'm not sure, after all, I'm a day student."

"By the way, it seems that Teacher Mo left the parents of these two people behind today." Dad also remembered, chiming in.

Hearing them say this, Xia Fang also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, what she did was not exposed.

Then, she should reply to the principal now.

Xia Fang: I asked Chen Yuan and advised him, but the kid said he still wanted to be with his original form teacher and classmates.

Xia Fang: I also mentioned Xia Xinyu, but he still doesn't have any other ideas and is worried that the two of them being in the same school would have a bad influence.

Saying this is equivalent to exposing that Xia Xinyu and Chen Yuan are in an early relationship.

But Zhang Jianjun dared to say those words, which is also equivalent to revealing his hand—he knows everything.

She can only respond to sincerity with sincerity.

Even if she's not very sincere.

At this moment, Zhang Jianjun, who learned about this, closed his eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief.

He didn't know what he was feeling relieved about.

Perhaps as the strongest principal, he had protected his reputation.

But after the relief, there was boundless regret.

He really, really wanted Chen Yuan.

The more loyal and righteous he was, the more he wanted to get this student.

Honestly, he felt that the student he had poached back then might not have been so perfect in character.

The school criticized him for early love and confiscated his mobile phone, which was also for his own good, but he transferred to another school in a fit of anger…

Of course, he had no position to say such a thing.

After all, he was the one who poached the wall.

It's just a pity.

Chen Yuan is also quite arrogant.

He can even refuse Fourth High…

Then, he can only hope that Shi Yi will win the provincial champion.

Under the pressure of those two learning monsters, successfully responding to everyone's expectations.

………

Chen Yuan noticed his phone light up while he was eating.

Then he unlocked it and looked at WeChat.

Then, a faint smile appeared on his face.

He Bao is quite capable.

As expected of the young, energetic, and promising principal of the Provincial Experimental High School, his EQ is high.

Look at this statement.

Principal He: Did Principal Zhang say anything about what would happen if you went to Fourth High?

Principal He: Tell me about it, don't be nervous, I just want to know how much Principal Zhang likes our school's students.

He wanted to give Chen Yuan a sense of security.

Or rather, give himself some sense of security.

And Chen Yuan was waiting for this moment.

In fact, even if He Hongtao didn't discover it himself, he would have revealed these words to him.

He said earlier that he would take care of Xia Xinyu himself.

This doesn't mean that he doesn't accept some reasonable help.

Moreover, some of the benefits he gained with his strength, even if it belonged to his efforts.

Even if he has the school support Xinyu, it is also because he has put in the effort.

Therefore, me taking care of Xia Xinyu ≠ I don't accept the school's benefits.

Chen Yuan: Principal Zhang just told me that if I go, I'll go straight to Class One.

He Hongtao: Did he say anything about Xia Xinyu?

Clever.

He Bao is really quick on the uptake.

Chen Yuan pretended to think, but actually ate a few bites of turtle.

A little spicy…

He drank some of Xinyu's peanut milk.

That was comfortable.

Then, he continued chatting on WeChat.

Chen Yuan: Then Principal Zhang said he could subsidize Xinyu's tuition and fees for high school and university, give scholarships, and continue to fund her until graduation.

He Hongtao: Sponsor student Xia Xinyu?

He Hongtao: Is student Xia Xinyu's family in difficulty?

After He Hongtao asked this, Chen Yuan explained Xia Xinyu's situation to He Hongtao.

Although he didn't want to tell others about Xinyu's pain everywhere, he needed He Hongtao's help in this matter, and he needed Eleventh High's funding.

Supporting Xinyu can't be empty talk.

It must start with letting Xinyu dare to eat delicious food, wear beautiful clothes, and not have to worry about money.

But without this material foundation.

She will never let herself live well.

So, He Bao, where is your determination?

He Hongtao: Chen Yuan, study with student Xia Xinyu with peace of mind, and don't be affected by other factors.

He Hongtao: Eleventh High guarantees everything for you and student Xinyu from high school to university.

……

"Then we'll be leaving."

"Mmm, bye-bye."

At the entrance of the hotel, after the aunt called a car, she left with Zheng Minghao. And Yang Junlian also warmly took her family and said goodbye to them.

Then, Dad went to the parking garage to drive the car up.

Chen Yuan was waiting with Xia Xinyu at the entrance of the store.

"Xinyu, I'll tell you some good news." Chen Yuan said with a smile as he looked at her.

"Hmm? What good news?" After Xia Xinyu asked, she glanced at her mother next to her, and then whispered in a voice that the other party couldn't hear, "Bao'er."

"Bao'er."

Chen Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Our principal is covering our expenses from high school to university graduation."

"Yay."

Hearing this, Xia Xinyu showed joy and immediately made a scissorhand gesture.

But soon, she tilted her head with a puzzled look: "But, why?"

……

He Hongtao leaned back in his chair, thinking about his conversation with Chen Yuan today, his mood was very delicate.

Fortunately, he still managed to hold onto Chen Yuan.

But what was unpleasant was Zhang Jianjun's underhanded tactics.

Then, he secretly swore in his heart:

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't bully a poor principal!
