Chapter 2 (1/2)
Right now Ma Ning is very unhappy.
He is the vice-princ.i.p.al of Coral, responsible for the affairs of the high school department. Initially it would be easy to bring in a person as a teacher, but the number of teachers for the high school division just happens to be full. Seeing Ren Bi quit, even though the cla.s.s of Tang Zhuo Hui is hard to lead, but at least he was in. At that time he could just think of a reason to transfer out, who new Chen Yao Jin would charge out midway, and he’s even from Northern University, right now being personally interviewed by Princ.i.p.al Fujimoto in the princ.i.p.al’s office. Hope he doesn’t satisfy that j.a.panese man’s conditions. (TL: The Chen Yao Jing thing basically means someone, or some thing coming in mid way and ruining something. Chen Yao Jing is a general of the Tang dynasty and you can look up the origin for the idiom if you want.)
A middle aged man sat in front of Xia Yu, wearing a pair of gla.s.ses, his sideburns already slightly grayed, talking with Xia Yu in j.a.panese for a dozen minutes. G.o.d knows if it’s something Xia Yu said the moved him, making him constantly nod his head, evidently very satisfied with Xia Yu. (TL: I don’t know if it’s sideburns or not since the other translation is temple (side of forehead) which clearly isn’t right but who the h.e.l.l describes that someone’s hair is grayed through their sideburns?)
“Oh right Mr. Xia, I don’t think I’ve seen your graduation diploma yet, can you show me your diploma?”
Xia Yu was secretly groaning in his heart, in the end he still needs to look at the diploma. No mistake he is from Northern University, but he doesn’t have a diploma, because he was expelled from Northern University.
“Hm? What’s wrong, is there a problem?” Seeing that Xia Yu didn’t make any movement, Fujimoto Hito lifts his head up looking at him strangely.
Xia Yu bit his teeth, G.o.ddammit it screw it, thinking: Mind Control!
A glaring light flas.h.i.+ng across his eyes, Xia Yu stared at Fujimoto Hito’s eyes, lightly smiling saying: “Princ.i.p.al Fujimoto, didn’t I just show you my diploma, did you forget?”
“Oh, yes yes, I think I did see it already.” Fujimoto Hito blanked for a bit and then recovered, “My mistake.”
“Then… do you think I’m okay princ.i.p.al.?”
“No problem, no problem, you can immediately start tomorrow, in a bit I will introduce the Director of Education and the Director of Discipline to you.”
“I’m really thankful.” Xia Yu stood up smiling and heavily shook hands with Fujimoto Hito.
Leaving the princ.i.p.al’s office, Xia Yu let out a long breath, just then Ma Ning came walking over, Fujimoto Hito who followed Xia Yu out said: “Just right Vice-Princ.i.p.al Ma, this is our new j.a.panese teacher, he will be temporarily taking over Ren Bi’s cla.s.s. A very exceptional young man, I believe that he can complete Ren Bi’s unfinished task!”
Ma Ning amiably nods his head, enthusiastically shaking his hand, but secretly cursing this j.a.panese man in his heart, always adding a vice whenever calling him.
Even if Xia Yu is shameless enough his face is still a little red right now. Just a few minutes ago he used mind control to make Fujimoto Hito think that he had already seen Xia Yu’ diploma, at the same time making him think that he is an exceptional young man. Speaking of it to people right now, as the concerned party he was a little unable to bare it.
After meeting the Directors of Education and Discipline, the Princ.i.p.al said to Xia Yu to come tomorrow, telling him to go home for today.
