Jessica Feng bit her lip, wondering how it was possible for the hotline to accept the call. They probably couldn’t wait to hang up the moment they heard Gu Qingshan’s name.

Ming Jing turned on the speakerphone, and soon Mr. Zhou’s voice came through, “May I know if this is Ms. Ming Jing?”

“It’s me.”

She called herself Ming Jing? Jessica Feng felt this name sounded very familiar, where had she heard it before?

“The Mayor is in a meeting. If you have any troubles, you can tell me. I’m not sure what happened between Ms. Ming Jing and Mr. Gu’s family members. Do you want me to inform Mr. Gu’s secretary immediately?” A calm and rational male voice came from the phone, clearly belonging to an elite professional.

Jessica Feng was surprised, it really was the mayor’s secretary, and he was speaking to her so politely.

“Okay.”

Soon, after two beeping noises, the call was reconnected. A powerful and majestic male voice came through, concealing a hint of barely detectable joy, “Ms. Ming Jing, what wind brings you here?”

Ming Jing glanced at the instantly pale face of Jessica Feng on the other side, along with the shocked eyes of the principal, the dean of instruction, and Zhao Xueying when they heard the voice. She lowered her eyelashes and let out a faint sigh.

This vicious society was being slowly destroyed by these parasites.

“Mr. Gu, my younger sister and your Madame’s niece are classmates. They had a slight disagreement, which was nothing out of the ordinary. It would have been fine if the children apologized to each other, but your Madame’s cousin-in-law has used her power to pressure the principal into expelling my sister. She even threatened that her daughter’s uncle is Gu Qingshan, and anyone who offends her will not come to a good end. Mr. Gu, I believe you would not do such a thing. However, in the long run, this will undermine your reputation. I hope you can discipline your family members and uphold your integrity.”

Ming Jing’s tone was gentle and elegant, neither hurried nor slow. Every word made everyone’s heart race, including Gu Qingshan’s.

This was an outright threat.

Gu Qingshan slammed the table and roared, “Jessica Feng, what have you done!”

Jessica Feng’s legs trembled, and she stammered, “Sir...it’s not what she said, she’s framing me.”

“Shut up! I know exactly what kind of person Ms. Ming Jing is. You have no right to twist the truth here. Now, apologize to Ms. Ming Jing and her sister.”

Li Yu shook her head desperately: “I don’t want to apologize; I don’t want to apologize. It’s not my fault; why should I apologize?”

Gu Qingshan had more important things to attend to and didn’t have time to listen to a few kids’ arguments. “Ms. Ming Jing, this matter is my fault. I didn’t discipline my family members properly, causing trouble for you. I apologize. I’ll invite you for a meal later to make amends. Please grace me with your presence, Ms. Ming Jing.”

The other people’s faces were beyond description.

What could they call this? Losing the gains while trying to steal? No, it should be big water flooding the dragon king’s temple? Also wrong. It was having eyes but failing to recognize gold, spinning a cocoon around oneself, and eventually harming oneself.

“Mr. Gu is too polite.” Ming Jing hung up the phone and didn’t spare a glance at Jessica Feng. Instead, she looked at the principal.

The principal’s legs felt weak, and the dean of education quickly supported him.

Approaching sixty, the principal trembled: “Ms...Ms. Ming Jing, I’m sorry. I didn’t handle the matter properly. Ming Chen won’t be expelled.”

“It takes ten years to grow trees, but a hundred years to cultivate talent. I hope Principal keeps these eight words in mind. Education is the foundation of a nation. As the head of a school, you should lead by example and not let the corruption of society stain the purity of the school.”

“A single incident can greatly affect a child’s life. School is a place to learn knowledge as well as to learn character and morality. They are the pillars of the future. Principal, remember the responsibilities on your shoulders.”

“No matter whether it’s Ming Chen or any other student, I hope there won’t be a next time for such incidents.”

The young girl’s clear and cold voice was earth-shattering, deafening, and deeply shocking everyone present.

Zhao Xueying couldn’t help but admire her. This young girl was indeed as extraordinary as the rumors said. Her perfect combination of resolute and gentle righteousness was unforgettable.

The principal felt ashamed and lowered his head. He had lived for half his life and still didn’t understand the principles as well as a girl in her teens.

How shameful.

“Ms. Ming Jing’s teachings are right. I remember them all. There won’t be a second time.”

The principal took out his handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He had been wrong from the beginning.

Ms. Ming Jing was right. School should be a pure land. Children’s thoughts should be pure and should not be tainted by the corruption of society prematurely.

As the head of a school, he was intimidated by power, setting a bad example for his students. He had failed in his duties as a principal!
