In Xu Hao's eyes, Director Zhou was more reliable than many others.
Because he was a smart man.
Knowing when to advance or retreat, understanding how to bow or stand tall, Xu Hao was fully capable of a carrot-and-stick approach to keep him in line.
If he agreed to his request and had a al with him, it would completely dispel his worries.
Thinking this, Xu Hao nodded and said, "Alright."
Director Zhou was overjoyed and quickly said, "Young Master Xu, please wait a mont, I'll make a reservation right now."
As he spoke, he made a reservation for a private room on a restaurant's website.
Seeing Director Zhou, who had previously been quite hostile to him and even kicked him out of the office, now groveling before Xu Hao like a fawning dog, Guo Lan was filled with emotion.
She couldn't understand how Xu Hao had beco so powerful.
Back in Jing'an City, she hadn't heard much about Xu Hao!
But what she didn't know was that she had left Jing'an City early, and the night Xu Hao saved Qian Youyou and killed that Islander, Guo Lan was still sowhat scared. So, she had left Jing'an City with Qian Youyou and moved to Huadu, while Xu Hao was just beginning to consolidate the various forces in Jing'an City. Besides, Xu Hao's reputation really wasn't as high in Jing'an as it was in Huadu, where people helped spread his fa!
When the other teachers heard that Director Zhou was inviting them to a al and seeing the situation, apparently inviting everyone, they were instantly excited. Director Zhou was famously stingy in the school.
It was said that he almost never paid when he went out to eat with colleagues.
However, usually, his position was higher than those he dined with, and when parents invited him to als, he never had to spend a penny, earning him the reputation of being extrely tightfisted.
And now, they were fortunate enough to be treated to a al by Director Zhou.
Moreover, they could clearly see that Director Zhou was very enthusiastic, respectful, and even sowhat humble towards Xu Hao, an attitude he never even displayed in front of the principal.
It was only last year when that big shot from the educational bureau personally visited The Eighth Elentary School that he acted similarly.
But those with keen eyesight detected that he exhibited a nearly imperceptible fear when facing Xu Hao.
That feeling, it was like that of a mouse when it encounters a cat. Thе full sеriеs is hоstеd оn Мy Virtuаl Librаry Еmpirе, knоwn аs
Why was he so scared?
Could Xu Hao really take away his position?
The teachers were puzzled, as powerful as Xu Hao was, he couldn't just dismiss Director Zhou on a whim.
At that mont, Sun ihe said, "Director Zhou, may I join the al as well? Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble. I just want to nd fences with Teacher Guo, after all, we're still colleagues."
Director Zhou looked to Xu Hao and Guo Lan for approval.
Xu Hao indifferently said, "If Guo Lan agrees, then I agree."
Sun ihe then looked at Guo Lan, pleading, "Teacher Guo, I really realize my mistake, please forgive , I sincerely want to get along with you."
Guo Lan nodded and said, "Since we're all colleagues and see each other often, it's better to resolve disputes than to foster them, so let's all go have a al together."
"Thank you, Teacher Guo, you really are a great teacher!" Sun ihe thanked her profusely.
Guo Lan smiled but didn't say much. She was kind-hearted and liked to get along with others.
However, Xiao Lan frowned slightly. She vaguely felt that Sun ihe was no good person, but she had no proof.
Xu Hao certainly felt the sa, but he didn't mind. Sun ihe alone was not capable of making any waves.
Director Zhou took leave for all the teachers, then led everyone downstairs, ready to head to the restaurant he had reserved.
However, as they were descending the stairs, Xu Hao noticed Sun ihe constantly playing with his phone, but Xu Hao didn't care, assuming that Sun ihe was just another smartphone addict.
Just as the group was about to exit the school gates, a tall, handso man with blond hair and blue eyes ran toward them from a distance.
Several teachers changed their expressions upon seeing him, and Guo Lan's face also turned sour.
The man ran up to Guo Lan and said, "Teacher Guo, you're finally back."
Guo Lan glanced at him and said indifferently, "Teacher Allen, I don't know you well."
Allen smiled and said, "Teacher Guo, we do know each other though. We're not close now, but we will be later."
Guo Lan responded coolly, "We will not be close in the future, Teacher Allen. If there's nothing else, we'll be going now."
At that mont, Allen glanced at the others, and he was instantly struck by Xiao Lan's beauty.
However, he quickly regained his composure, inwardly deciding he had to stay more focused or else he would end up with nothing.
He surveyed the group and finally set his eyes on Xu Hao, saying coldly, "You must be that Huaya man, Xu Hao. I'm telling you to stay away from Teacher Guo, or else keep in mind I won't be nice to you!"
