Chapter 61: Continuous Fermentation

Yao Juan lowered his head and looked at her. “Is everything okay?”

“It’s fine now. My husband’s bodyguard had already came over.” Yi Ran smiled reluctantly, pretending to be indifferent and easy-going. She raised her hand to push back a strand of hair.

Teacher Yao frowned deeply in front of her and, seeing that the girl’s face was pale, said, “What the hell was Gu Tingchuan doing? I don’t understand their rules, but shouldn’t they take care of it in the media?”

Seeing Yao Juan’s unusually serious face, Yi Ran felt a little nervous. His heart seemed to be immersed in a sour solution and his first instinct seemed to be wanting to quarrel with Mr. Gu.

“I already said that he sent someone to protect me. This time, an accident happened, and the reporters found me somehow …”

He looked at her forbearance and sighed. He was only upset because he cared about this disturbance.

“You caused a commotion like this and there were already many parents and students who witnessed it. I suspect…”

Before Yao Juan could finish speaking, Guan Yilu walked in on the two of them. She looked at Yi Ran in confusion before saying, “Yi Ran, I just met Principal Gǔ and she asked me to tell you that she wanted to see you in her office. ”

Yi Ran still hadn’t managed to caught her breath and now must stand back up.

Principal Gǔ was the new female principal. After she had arrived at the principal’s office, she had looked around for awhile and then promptly threw away all the materials used by Shi Xiang. The office was also renovated from inside out into a feminine style.

“Yi Ran, don’t be nervous. Have we had a chance to chat alone before?”

Principal Gǔ spoke in a low and gentle voice, which helped Yi Ran calmed down enough to return her smile. From previous experience in dealing with her, the other party always gave a good impression.

“I already know what happened at the school gate this morning.” The principal’s gaze fell on Yi Ran, and for a moment it was difficult to read her expression.

Yi Ran pondered and said, “I’m sorry, Principal Gǔ, I didn’t mean it …”

“I understand. You don’t need to hurry to apologize.”

She gestured for Yi Ran to stop and, seeing the girl’s face look slightly tight, also guessed that she must have felt guilty. She bluntly said, “I know some of the Gu family and have also heard about what happened at Gu Tingchuan’s premiere. The media is very curious about your life, which is normal.”

Yi Ran listen to this point and was a little surprised. When she was about to ask something, the mobile phone in her pocket vibrated. She guessed who might have called, but she didn’t interrupt the conversation with Principal Gǔ.

At this moment, Principal Gǔ stood up, walked to her, and patted her shoulders with concern. She sounded very reasonable and very much in control of the situation as she said, “However, you will cause unnecessary disturbances when you enter and leave the campus. It would be a problem for students and parents. ”

Yi Ran closed her eyes and nodded silently.

Principal Gǔ still smiled and had not meant to embarrass her. “So, I can grant you a maximum of three days’ leave. I’ll have a substitute teacher temporarily take care of your class. I hope you and Mr. Gu can handle things properly, Teacher Yi. ”

She knew that this was the best way to deal with it. There was nothing to refute and no room for grievances. She said in a dull voice, “I see, Principal Gǔ. ”

Yi Ran walked out of the office in despair. Seeing that it was almost time for the morning class, she planned to go back and get teaching materials first.

She didn’t know who caused the incident and how long until it blew over. As she was worrying, her cell phone rang again.

Seeing that it was Gu Tingchuan calling, Yi Ran’s heart tightened.

……

At last, it was the blooming season and so the white-collar workers at Jiaye had been very busy since the early morning.

Earlier, even before Yi Ran had arrived at the school, Gu Tingchuan had already reached his private office.

The carpet, which was Nepalese hand-woven, had been a recent replacement, and the colorful prints lined the entire space with a sense of art. However, at this moment, the atmosphere was chilly as an ice cellar.

Director Gu sat in his work chair with a cup of hot coffee in hand, his face slightly haggard,

Xiao Zhao was sitting on a stool in front of the office long table, and on the sofa not far behind sat Gu Tingyong, who came from the branch.

Gu Tingchuan’s fingers intermittently tapped on the table and his eyes were narrowed as he quietly listened to the results of Xiao Zhao’s investigation over the past few days.

It turned out that several “high-level fans” who participated in the premiere event were threatened one after another and tasked with performing out their drama during the premiere.

Gu Tingchuan’s eyebrows were calm, but his eyes still emitted a cold chill. His voice had absolutely no fluctuations as he said, “Did you find out who touched my premiere?”

Xiao Zhao didn’t dare to look up, but factually reported, “It was Hao Zhenlei. He made use of his underground connections to bride some people.”

It was important to discover who was behind the scheme. For the Gu family, it wasn’t really a big deal. However, the Hao family, which was used to sinister means, was simply not astute enough and had left behind bits and pieces of clues everywhere.

As long as you go online and checked the accounts of a few people, you can see that the “special funds” were deposited by a company that belonged to Hao Zhenlei.

It was difficult to know if this person had become so arrogant in recent years that he thought he could let Gu Tingchuan eat such a loss without incurring much damage.

Gu Tingchuan thought a little bit and realized that it was probably due to the unpleasant hotel confrontation some time ago. Furthermore, he also heard that Hao Zhenlei planned to get involved in the entertainment industry. last time.

After listening to Xiao Zhao’s brief description of the Hao family background, Gu Tingyong’s face clearly displayed his utter disdain and contempt. “Isn’t this just new money who is involved in underground affairs? His dog eyes must be blind enough to think he could bully our Gu family.”
