Volume 1: When I Was Young Chapter 45: Sincere Admission of Mistakes

  "Fight back, parents!" Director Zhu met a parent who dared to refute him face-to-face for the first time, and was so angry that his face turned white: "Please take a correct stance, early love is strictly not allowed in our Qingyang!"

  "We didn't have puppy love!" Jiang Xinyue reluctantly stopped her lengthy speech under the reminder of her friend's raised eyebrows and playful glances.

  "I didn't say they were dating prematurely!" Director Zhu's face turned red with anxiety, hadn't he just said that earlier?! What was the point of this parent's ears anyway? "What I mean is, they set a bad example in front of all the students, it may lead to others imitating and misunderstanding. On this issue, our school has its own stance!"

  "Right! Little aunt, don't misunderstand!" Zhang Doudou stood up with righteous indignation: "Director Zhu said it very correctly, Director Zhu educated us very correctly. I deeply realize that the misunderstanding caused by me and An Ran has had a huge impact on the school's reputation and discipline. Think about it, if we set an example in front of everyone, those who want to fall in love will say, 'Hey, look at them, how high-profile they are! We have nothing to fear!' Those who want to rebel will say, 'Hey, look at them, how arrogant they are! Let's learn from their example!' And those who want to study will be disappointed, oh, the school's atmosphere is so ruined. What makes me most angry is that our principal was slapped in the face in front of all teachers and students! What's most heartbreaking is that our director has always cared for us, favored us, and had high hopes for us, but what happened? We let Director down! We made Director sad! How can we be so unforgivable to Director!"

  Zhan Zhan stood among the four, speaking with emotional ups and downs, waving his hands and feet, spitting flying saliva, with expressions of sadness or sorrow or self-blame. It was like a one-man play, leaving others stunned and unable to interrupt: "I once thought the director would severely punish us! I once thought the director would harshly criticize us! I once thought the director would give up on us! But I was wrong! How narrow-minded I was in measuring our great instructor! Our respected director!"

  "Director is selfless! Director is great! Everything the director does is for the next generation of our motherland! For these lovely young sprouts of our motherland! So as not to delay our bright future, the director has taken on the heavy anger from the principal with his frail shoulders! To avoid affecting our lives at school in the future, the director has worked tirelessly to explain and clear up misunderstandings for us to other teachers and students. I, Zhang Dandan, have always admired people who are kind, righteous, broad-minded, brave, wise, and responsible. Director, you are the one! I look up to you! I admire you! I love you! From now on, you will be a guiding light in my life's journey, and I will follow your lead..."

  Zhan Yunyun held Director Zhu's hand, walking slowly forward, her eyes gazing out the window, unfocused and scattered, lost in thought about a beautiful future.

  An Ran was thoroughly stunned, it wasn't the first time he had witnessed Warbler's boasting skills, but he didn't know she was so formidable. She spoke such a long and eloquent passage of flattering words with a straight face and proper tone, and even included rhymes, parallelisms, and antitheses! Even from a public speaking perspective, it was an absolutely outstanding performance that moved people to the core.

  Handsome uncle - An Ran His father was also a bit stunned at first, but after all, he had rich experience and quickly reacted, with a smile of appreciation and interest on his face. He looked at An Ran, finally understanding why this proud boy would do such an impulsive and strange thing one day.

  The opponent is too powerful, and the provocative nature is too strong.

  Jiang Xinyue was already used to it, and as for Doudou's weird talent, she had seen it many times before - after all, Doudou's linguistic gift was limited to these weird tricks. She was a bit unhappy, if not for Doudou's "apology article", she could have written a "brainwashing article" to pass on some positive energy from love to the unromantic Director Zhu.

  He had been spraying saliva for almost half an hour, and Zhang felt a bit thirsty. He glanced around again but couldn't find the water cup, so he decided to terminate his sincere apology: "Teacher Zhu, I know I was wrong, and I once again sincerely express my apologies to you. I don't know if you accept my repentance or are satisfied with it. If you think it's not enough, I'll go home and correct my thoughts properly, and tomorrow I'll come back to have a good chat with Director You about the gains in my thinking!"

  "No need, no need! I'm very satisfied!" Director Zhu wiped his chin - the saliva splashed by Zhang Doudou couldn't reach his face and mostly landed on his shirt collar. He was stunned earlier, stupid, and could only follow Zhang Doudou's lead, unable to find an opportunity to interrupt. And what could he say, what could he scold? Zhang Doudou had already praised him to the skies, even if he himself knew it was insincere. First, there was no way to refute it, second... it really felt good!

  A thousand holes and ten thousand holes, but a horse's fart is not a hole, this is the principle.

  "Director, what about this punishment?" Zhan Liuli asked tentatively, still looking self-reproachful and guilty, with a hint of worry.

  Director Zhu's chin twitched a few times before he finally managed to squeeze out: "This time let it go! Next time you must pay attention to the impact!"

  "Please supervise, Director! Let the Director be at ease!" Warlord Wú repeated a standard military salute.

  "Alright, alright! You all hurry back now!" Director Zhu was really afraid of Zhang's wrath, waving his hand like he was shooing away flies. Then, he nodded and bowed as he walked over to An Ran's father, shaking hands: "Sorry about this, Director An, for wasting your time!"

  "Director Zhu is so polite, thank you for your hard work, I'll still need your care and concern for my child in the future."

  "It's nothing, it's what I should do!"

  Director Zhu opened his mouth, and the war began to unfold. She joked that if she regretted it later, what would happen? She didn't have a good record like Xiong An'an, nor did she have a good father or family to rely on. If her dad found out about this when she got home, he'd scold her.

  When An Ran and others went downstairs, Zhan Zhan was already sitting on the hood of the car, swaying back and forth. As soon as he saw them, he jumped down, with a happy smile: "Uncle An, sorry about earlier, haha, little misunderstanding, I thought yesterday that An Ran said you were busy, so Uncle Zhou came."

  "Hmph, who's so familiar with you?"

  "Just now was wonderful." An Zhi Jie thought of just now, and couldn't help but curve the corners of his mouth, a mature and charming smile that could captivate people to death. What an interesting little girl, what a clever little girl, from his perspective, she will definitely have a bright future.

  In today's world, EQ is much more important than IQ.

  "Heh heh, I've got plenty of experience." Zhan Er Gei chuckled foolishly and scratched his head: "Rather than being scolded and getting a demerit, it's better to take the initiative and make everyone happy."

  An Zhijie nodded in agreement. He glanced at his son standing beside him with his eyes gazing upwards: "Please take good care of An Ran from now on!"

  "Who wants her to take care of it!" An Ran's face was filled with disgust and incredulity. What could she possibly be expected to take care of?

  "Heh heh, don't worry, uncle." Warbler's smile seemed a bit evil: "I'll take good care of An Ran!"

  Digression

  How to take care of it? Haha, is it so easy for An Ran to get rid of the war? My man! Of course, he's doing great.
