Chapter 298 Sending Buddha to the West
Chapter 298 Sending Buddha to the West
Lin Cheng had a stern face and said indifferently: "Sister-in-law, I can't take you. Principal Wang and I have other things to do. You go back first."
Wang Manning felt a lump in her heart.
Uh...you're eating the melon and it's happening to your head.
She looked over and met Lin Cheng's apologetic and pleading gaze. She frowned slightly and actively cooperated.
"How about I wait for you in your car?"
Lin Cheng walked over and said, "No need, we'll go together. Sister-in-law, you go back."
Hua Hudie reached out and held him: "Brother Lin Cheng, let's meet up this weekend. Xiaona misses you so much and has been saying that she wants to play with Uncle Lin."
Lin Cheng once again broke free from her pull:
"Xiao Na likes Old Chen and his wife the most. Sister-in-law, I will invite Old Chen and his family this weekend, and everyone can bring their families to get together."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Wang Manning: "Principal Wang, let's go."
Wang Manning followed Lin Cheng towards the car parked nearby. She felt that the eyes behind her were glued to her, like a thorn in her back.
"Mr. Lin, you are dragging me into this trap. What should I do if Yang Xiaona's mother comes to cause trouble again in the future?"
"No, I will tell her that I paid the tuition and I will handle any disagreements with the school. She just needs to take care of the child and attend classes on time."
The two of them talked quietly and got in the car.
Wang Manning didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Do I have to send the Buddha to the west?"
Lin Cheng looked at his watch and said, "It's almost five o'clock. How about I invite Principal Wang to have a meal at Yunzhongji next door? It can also be regarded as an apology for dragging you into this trap today."
Wang Manning waved her hands repeatedly: "No, one meal at Yunzhongji costs as much as Yang Xiaona's tuition for a summer class. I can't afford to pay for this sin."
Yunzhongji is a Cantonese private restaurant opened in a courtyard next to the new campus. Its main feature is that it is exquisite, expensive and not filling.
However, because the atmosphere is high-end and well-crafted, it is highly praised by many middle-class people.
"It's not that exaggerated. It's only one week's tuition here. I'll be presumptuous today. By the way, I also have a few questions about Yang Xiaona that I'd like to ask you, an expert."
Wang Manning thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go to the U Cafe in front. It's a better place."
Lin Cheng readily agreed: "Okay, U Coffee."
As the car turned out of the parking lot, a figure suddenly rushed in front of the car.
Lin Cheng slammed on the brakes, startling Wang Manning who was looking down at a text message on her phone.
Lin Cheng lowered the car window, raised his eyebrows, and spoke impatiently: "Sister-in-law, what are you doing? This is very dangerous, don't you know?"
"Brother Lin Cheng, I've been waiting for the bus for a long time, but it still hasn't come. Xiaona is still waiting for me to pick her up, can you take me there?"
Lin Cheng took out his wallet from his pocket and handed her a hundred-dollar bill.
"Let's take a taxi."
After saying that, he stepped on the accelerator and left.
Wang Manning looked at the stunned figure of Butterfly in the rearview mirror and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Mr. Lin, your financial support is not easy to come by. The recipient has a big appetite."
Lin Cheng sighed:
"If it weren't for Lao Yang's daughter, we would have retreated long ago. Now we basically act as one on everything, and Lao Chen and the others all let their wives come forward."
As we were talking, the car had already arrived at the entrance of U Café.
Sitting down at a window seat, Wang Manning ordered the most expensive snacks and caramel cappuccino without hesitation.
"I've been dealing with a lot of bad things this afternoon, so I'm going to make up for it with something sweet."
Lin Cheng kept apologizing: "It's my fault. I caused you trouble."
"Actually, it's not me who's in trouble, it's Principal Kang and the others. Dealing directly with people like Yang Xiaona's mother is a pain in the ass for a long time."
"Then I'll pack some snacks and coffee and send them over later."
Wang Manning waved her hand quickly:
"No, no, as long as you can solve Yang Xiaona's mother's problem and prevent her from causing trouble in the future, Principal Kang and the others will be grateful."
Lin Cheng looked at her with amusement: "Is Principal Wang always so direct in his speech?"
Wang Manning raised her eyebrows and said, "Mr. Lin, are you referring to something because I told you directly about Yang Xiaona's mother's problem at school today?"
Lin Cheng was completely convinced.
"You are really sharp. You have said so much to a stranger like me today. Aren't you afraid of causing any adverse consequences?"
Wang Manning glanced over:
"I must have thought before I said those words. I'm not a teenage girl anymore. I can't act on impulse. Besides, what are the consequences?"
"It's a big mess. I accuse you of making comments about students' parents without permission and being biased against students and parents."
Wang Manning picked up the coffee, took a sip, put it down calmly, and a professional smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Discuss? Did I say anything? We just had an in-depth and friendly conversation about Yang Xiaona's academic performance."
"I'm an education trainer, how could I say something that would upset parents? Parents are our breadwinners. Mr. Lin, you must be too anxious and have misunderstood."
Lin Cheng watched Wang Manning finish her words in a very professional tone, put a small spoonful of tiramisu into his mouth elegantly, and looked out the window with satisfaction.
Against the light of the setting sun, her slightly curly long hair was coated with a layer of warm golden color.
"Principal Wang is really interesting. This is indeed thoughtful and incomprehensible."
Wang Manning turned around and saw Lin Cheng holding a cup of coffee with a smile on his face.
"Actually, Mr. Lin, I am very good at judging people. You and Yang Xiaona's mother are definitely not the same kind of people. You will never be in the same trench."
"What I said today is just to fulfill my duty of reminding you. After all, you are the sponsor, and you must hope that the funding can be truly in place."
"Even if you can form a united front, that would be even better. After all the commotion, the worst result is that the tuition will be refunded and the child will be completely withdrawn from Youzhi. Losing a few thousand dollars is worth it to avoid future troubles."
"What annoys us most is that some people make trouble again and again, and come to us to continue the class like sticky candy, which is very troublesome."
Lin Cheng gently put down the coffee cup and looked at Wang Manning with deep eyes.
"Principal Wang is indeed a talented woman from Peking University. She has been able to think things through to this extent in such a short period of time. It is watertight."
"Do you want to expand your school? I can invest in marketing and promotion to make it a benchmark in the industry."
Wang Manning looked at Lin Cheng with some surprise.
"Mr. Lin, we have only known each other for two hours."
Lin Cheng smiled and shook his head:
"But I have been observing Youzhi for more than half a year. It is very organized and promising. It is also a sunrise industry now. Don't worry, I am a qualified businessman."
Wang Manning hesitated for a moment and replied calmly:
"Mr. Lin, in addition to myself, my school has two other partners investing. The current expansion speed has somewhat exceeded our expectations."
"We are trying to keep our pace steady. If you are interested, we can communicate more and there may be opportunities for cooperation."
