Good Man Operation Guide
Chapter 120.1: The Research Fanatic Who Lost His Child (6)When the door of the surveillance room was opened, the students who had seen them coming out through the window had already left the window in a hurry, each of them acting like ‘we were far away and not peeking’, but their eyes kept glancing at the faces of the people who were coming out one after another.
“Go, go, go!!! What are you looking at? Why don’t you go home after school!”
The Headmaster wasn’t in a good mood. He was in his office, reading a book, when he got three calls in a row asking him what was going on, how he had offended Professor Lin, and now someone from the military was asking for his contact details. It looked like they were going to investigate him.
How would he know what was going on? He didn’t even know who Professor Lin was, he was innocent!
He rushed to deal with it. It turned out to be a scam because a schoolgirl swindled someone out of money. If an ordinary child was scammed, the Headmaster would simply lament that students nowadays were more sophisticated than others and then deal with them in accordance with the school rules. But now, she was a student of his school, who scammed the child of a top national talent who was said to be under military protection and whose file was encrypted.
It would be fine if it was just a scam, but the guard of their school also clashed with the other party. The Headmaster of the First Middle School was calm and steady at ordinary times, but he couldn’t help but feel uneasy after receiving several calls from powerful people in a row.
No matter what position Professor Lin had, he had to fix this properly!
The group of students were reprimanded and ran further away. Some of them were brave enough to explain, “We’re going to the square to play ball.”
“Go on then, why are you waiting in front of the school?!”
Now the Headmaster didn’t have time to take care of these students, and after a few words of casual reprimand, he turned his attention to Lin Shiheng.“Mr. Lin, then this matter will be dealt with. I will have Zou Le read the apology statement in front of the whole school tomorrow morning before the exercise.”
“Hmm, thank you Headmaster Ma.”
Lin Shiheng didn’t scowl and smiled gently, “Then we’ll excuse ourselves, we’ll have to bother you again tomorrow.”
“Eh, it’s fine, it’s fine. In the end, we were the ones who failed to teach our students in school.” Although his words took all the blame, his heart hated the fact that he had allowed Zou Le into the First Middle School in the first place.
What kind of child is that?
After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Shiheng stroked Wang Xuan’s head and said, “Xuan Xuan, let’s go. Your great-grandmother is waiting at home.”
Wang Xuan first nodded, then thought of something else. He raised his eyes to look around at the students who had cheekily stayed where they were, and when he saw the student who had lent him a pen to use, he took that pen out of his pocket and walked over to him.
He handed the pen over and saw the other person take it somewhat unresponsively, before gesturing ‘thank you’.
The student who lent the pen stared blankly, clearly not understanding.
Zhou Chuchu stepped forward, her voice was a little hoarse because she had cried before, but she was in good spirits. She raised a smile and warmly said to the student, “My Xuan Xuan said thank you.”
“Ah, you’re welcome...”
The student was young, so when he saw such a beautiful woman talking to him in such a gentle manner, his face immediately turned red and he waved his hands.
He didn’t actually want the pen back when he gave it to him, it was just a pen anyway. He had plenty of them and gave one just to watch all the uproar.
On the one hand, he was a little embarrassed that the pen had been returned with such seriousness, but on the other hand, he felt a little better about Wang Xuan, who had thanked him despite the chaotic situation.
Although he was mute, he had borrowed and returned it, unlike Zou Le, who looked like a princess but actually swindled money.
At the sight of this scene, the Headmaster, who wasn’t in a good mood because he had a lowlife like Zou Le in his school and had offended a Professor of some unknown origin, was finally a little happy.
Look, our school wasn’t just for students like Zou Le. We also have kind-hearted students who offered help.
As a gesture of apology and courtesy, Headmaster Ma walked them all the way to their car, and watched them leave before he could breathe a sigh of relief.
On the other hand, a reluctant Father Zou saw the unpleasant to speak to Lin family leave and went to Headmaster Ma’s side again, still trying to plead for mercy.
“Headmaster Ma, do you think you can help turn this around? My Le Le is too young, she doesn’t know any better, but she can’t have her whole life ruined just because she did one thing wrong, right?”
He spoke with sincerity, “You are an educator, you should know that children of this age are a bit naughty. It’s also because her mother and I didn’t keep an eye on her, so how about we sign a pledge that she won’t do it again?”
Father Zou spoke with a sincere smile on his face, seemingly unintentionally saying, “Le Le’s uncle also works in the Ministry of Education and is a leader. He often talks to us about our children's education. The child just made a mistake once, so there's really no need to make such a big deal out of it. I think that Mr. Lin's attitude is a bit harsh, and he was also in the heat of the moment. How about we wait a few days until everyone’s anger has subsided, and then we can communicate properly?”
Naturally, he had deliberately mentioned Zou Le’s uncle, and according to Father Zou’s thinking, Principal Ma would be willing to help him deal with the situation. But to his surprise, as soon as he said that, Principal Ma’s face had already gone sour.
“Cheating people out of tens of thousands of yuan and not admitting it, and throwing dirty water on the heads of a child who can’t talk. Is this naughty?! This is vicious!!”
He didn’t care about Zou Le’s mood at all. After knowing the whole story, vicious was indeed the best word to describe Zou Le.
“I can understand your feelings as a father, but you also saw the surveillance just now. She scammed him because he couldn’t talk, and she threw away the pen that he used to write. Is this a student or a criminal? She seems like a good little girl; how can her mind be so vicious? Even if she fought with others, as the Headmaster, I can say that the child is naughty. But she cheated a handicapped child out of money. This kind of thing is simply a problem with her character!”
When Headmaster Ma had finished, he didn’t bother to look at Zou Le’s pale and miserable appearance, and continued addressing the scowling Father Zou directly.
“You don’t have to say anything, I know that Zou Le has excellent grades, but school isn’t just about studies, it’s also about character. Today, if we don’t let her know what it will cost her to do such a thing, she will do it again next time. If you really want what’s best for your daughter, let her read the apology tomorrow so she doesn’t upset Mr. and Mrs. Lin, and give them a reason to sue your daughter. When that happens, it will be a big deal!”
“So, that’s it for today. You should go back with Zou Le first, and make her write a proper apology letter, make sure every word is true and don’t avoid the truth. As you heard just now, the family is coming to listen tomorrow. If something goes wrong, it could lead to a lawsuit. I don’t think you’ll like that either. I have a lot of work to do here, so I’ll leave you to contact Zou Le’s class teacher if you have any more questions.”
Father Zou didn’t expect the Headmaster to be so tough. He had clearly mentioned his relative who worked in the Ministry of Education.
“Headmaster Ma!!! Headmaster Ma!"
After hastily calling out twice and getting no response, Father Zou could only grit his teeth and withdraw his gaze from the Headmaster’s departing back. He dropped his gaze with a gloomy look in his eyes.
Zou Le, who was at his side, who saw that her father’s plea was useless. She immediately cried and begged with a sobbing voice, “Dad, I can’t read the apology letter. If the whole school knows about this, how can I stay in school...?”
Father Zou turned around and gave her a slap in the face.
“You know you won’t be able to stay if you do this kind of thing! You still did it! How did I ever raise a daughter like you!!’
Zou Le had always been pampered by her parents since she was a child, and never slapped by her parents. Today she received two slaps in a row. The slaps were done in front of so many students, so her tears flowed even harder.
Seeing that her father was still angry, Zou Le was too afraid to make a scene. So, she could only keep her head down and cover half of her cheek where she had been struck and weep silently.
If she had known it was going to be like this, she might as well have just apologized at the gate at that moment.
Unfortunately, it was too late to think about anything now.
While the father and daughter on this side were depressed, Wang Xuan on the other side, in the car, didn’t breathe a sigh of relief. It was only after looking at the nice and spacious interior of the car, he felt apprehension and gratitude.
When he was held in Mrs. Lin’s arms and listened to her say that she was his mother, Wang Xuan felt like his dream had come true.
But soon, watching Mr. and Mrs. Lin stand up for him as parents, forcefully calling the police to pull out the surveillance footage, and forcing the other party to apologize, the huge surprise in Wang Xuan’s heart gradually dropped.
He began to realize that perhaps it was simply a lie that Mr. and Mrs. Lin had made up to be able to help him better.
When Wang Xuan was quiet, he was actually thinking.
It had to be said that, at first, he was genuinely getting more and more happier, because after the police officers told him that there was news of his parents and he had refused when Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin came to the old building.
Did my parents actually come looking for me?
Mr. Lin's fatherly love and guidance, Mrs. Lin’s gentle and loving eyes that glanced over, and even Great Grandma, who loved him so much; they were like warm water poured over cold ice. Little by little, the ice in Wang Xuan’s heart, that he thought to be impenetrable, was melted.
Who else would do such a thing to him but his closest relatives?
But soon, Wang Xuan denied it himself.
No other, I'm just too different from Mr. and Mrs. Lin.
In terms of appearance, Mr. Lin was gentle and handsome, and his face was even better than that of a celebrity. Mrs. Lin was beautiful and gentle, and her gentle temperament always made people smile at her.
Wang Xuan, on the other hand, was tanned and thin. He dreamt of being the Lin family’s child several times, and when he woke up and looked at himself in the mirror, he would quickly come to his senses again.
There were many differences between him and them, both in appearance and other aspects.
Mr. Lin seemed like a walking knowledge bank. He had everything at his fingertips no matter what it was, he could even read the newspaper with unbelievable speed.
Mrs. Lin, on the other hand, could do a lot of things. She could paint, she could make clothes, and she would use some small strips of discarded cloth to sew up all kinds of cute dolls for him.
Wang Xuan studied the periodic table of elements, took the time to memorize music, and occasionally picked some grass on the way to the city, trying to make a grasshopper like Mr. Lin. But no matter how hard he tried, the grass leaves, which were so well behaved in Mr. Lin’s hands, wouldn’t obey him. After a few attempts, Wang Xuan could only tie the two strips together and act as if he had made a bunny.
In fact, he was always trying to get closer to Mr. and Mrs. Lin. He began to consciously exercise to become as strong as Mr. Lin, and he would also begin to spend a few cents to buy some old newspapers from the paper collector and carry them home to read. When he found unused scraps of fabric at home, he tried to do some sowing, intending to use them to make the various small dolls Mrs. Lin had given him.
But he was too clumsy, and even if he tried very, very hard, he still couldn’t be like Mr. and Mrs. Lin.
Wang Xuan also imagined what their child would be like.
It was easy to imagine. If it was a boy, he would look like a Prince, would be as smart as Mr. Lin and would be a great student. If it was a girl, she would be a little princess, wearing a beautiful dress, with beautiful pigtails, and speaking as softly and kindly as Mrs. Lin.
But no matter how he imagined it, the image that emerged couldn’t be related to Wang Xuan himself.
Like an ant that fell into sewage, he looked up at the tall, straight, beautiful trees and struggled to get to land, trying to be as brilliant as the trees.
But how could an ant become a tree? It was just wishful thinking.
