The principal almost considered writing the words ‘mind your own business’ on his face. Mr. Wang had been teaching at the school for the longest time, so he was willing to give him some respect.
Eke International High School catered primarily to the children of wealthy families. Even if they accepted exceptional students who excelled in their studies, it would not alter the school’s fundamental nature. This was a school designed for the offspring of affluent families.
Therefore, many conventional teaching methods were not suitable here. The principal had always grappled with how to change this situation, so he disagreed with Mr. Wang’s outdated perspective.
“Principal, whether they’re rich or noble, they’re still students. And students can certainly learn from their teachers,” Mr. Wang persisted in his viewpoint.
The principal was impatient to handle these matters and asked, “Then what is it that you want?”
Mr. Wang said agitatedly, “We should summon Miss Song and give her a proper lesson. She needs to understand that this is unacceptable and make an apology to me.”
The principal could barely contain his laughter. Mr. Wang had the audacity to suggest educating Song Fan. She was an internationally renowned scholar. If it weren’t for her desire to find a local school to teach at, even if he were to offer a fortune, she wouldn’t be persuaded to teach at Eke.
Furthermore, she was the eldest daughter of the Song Family. Regardless of their previous interactions, she still carried the Song surname, an identity the principal couldn’t afford to offend.
“Mr. Wang, despite Song Fan’s younger age, her teaching abilities far surpass yours. I would advise against discussing education in this context,” the principal tactfully reminded him, hoping to spare Mr. Wang from embarrassment.
However, Mr. Wang paid no heed to his advice. He was consumed by Song Fan’s perceived disrespect and was determined to make her face the consequences for her words.
The principal couldn’t tolerate Mr. Wang’s incessant pestering in his office, so he simply asked the secretary to invite Song Fan for a face-to-face conversation with Mr. Wang. After all, he would still stand with Song Fan.
In the teacher’s office, Song Fan was engrossed in playing a game. She had a strong liking for this new map. When it was officially released, it was bound to attract a larger player base.
As the major shareholder of Star Technologies, she hoped to see the game improve continuously. Back when her godmother’s health deteriorated and she needed money, she had explored various ways to make money. This was the reason she established Star Technologies as a game company.
However, at that time, the team was too small to generate substantial income. They had to create mini-games to keep the company afloat. It wasn’t until last year when she met the programming genius, Hua Yue. With Hua Yue’s ability to bring her ideas to life on a computer, Star Technology decided to develop a large-scale game, investing half a year to release ‘Future City’. This is why Song Fan paid close attention to students’ feedback on the game.
After Song Fan finished reviewing the new map, she sent her idea to the company. The principal’s secretary observed her rapid typing on the keyboard and wasn’t sure if she should bother her.
All the teachers paused what they were doing and turned their attention toward Song Fan. The principal’s secretary rarely visited the teacher’s office, and given Mr. Wang’s recent agitation, they wondered if he had mentioned anything to the principal.
The secretary had been instructed to treat Song Fan with respect. She patiently waited for Song Fan to close her computer before saying, “Miss Song, the principal would like to meet with you in his office.”
Miss Li, who had joined just last year and often found herself targeted by Mr.
Wang, leaned over to Song Fan and cautioned, “Miss Song, please be cautious.”
Song Fan smiled and reassured her, “Don’t worry, I’ll return safely.”
Mr. Wang continued his incessant chatter in the principal’s office. The principal concealed his disgust and pretended not to hear. Finally, Song Fan entered.
The principal promptly stood up to welcome her and said, “Miss Song, you’re finally here. Let’s have a seat and talk.”
With that, he took a seat on the sofa next to Song Fan, clearly indicating his alignment.
“Principal, what’s the matter?” Song Fan asked, casting a glance at Mr. Wang.
The principal felt quite embarrassed. “Mr. Wang came to inform me that you were playing games in the office. He believes it’s inappropriate for me to indulge you in this manner.”
“What does the principal mean, then?” Song Fan inquired.
The principal promptly responded, “I don’t consider it a significant issue at all. We’re not playing games in front of the students, but Mr. Wang has always said that we should set a good example for the students.”
Song Fan couldn’t stifle her laughter and retorted, “If playing games can lead students astray, then what about Mr. Wang, who boasts in the office every
Mr. Wang exploded. “What nonsense are you talking about? When did I boast in the office? I’m simply stating the truth..”
