"Lin Tian, rest assured, the school will investigate thoroughly and make the fairest judgent, and we will never wrong excellent students like you." Principal Yan assured with a serious expression. After hesitating for a mont, he added, "However, since the complaint letter has been directly sent to , I must make a gesture to prevent others from gossiping, which wouldn’t be good for you either, right?"
The words sounded grand and honorable. Students complaining about teachers, and even about school leaders, were not few, so why didn’t you make a gesture then? Lin Tian was quite skeptical internally.
"Hehe, Principal Yan, naturally you have your difficulties, but who exactly is complaining against us?" Lin Tian asked.
"This..." Principal Yan unconsciously glanced at his desk, hesitated for a long ti, but didn’t reveal anything.
Seeing his expression, Lin Tian figured out that the complaint letter was not anonymous but a nad complaint. Otherwise, as a principal, he could ignore an anonymous letter.
"Let guess, could it be Sun Decai?" As Lin Tian said this na, he stared intently into Principal Yan’s eyes, wanting to know his genuine reaction.
Unfortunately, Principal Yan’s eyes showed no surprise but rather confusion. Could it not be Sun Decai? Lin Tian was also puzzled.
"Lin Tian, please don’t make it difficult for ," Principal Yan said.
Lin Tian just smiled and did not respond, but his probing gaze had already moved to the principal’s desk. There were many docunts on the desk, but under a book rested a kraft paper envelope, the seal of which was already open, revealing half a sheet of white paper.
When Principal Yan unconsciously looked at the desk, it was very likely that this was the complaint letter. Lin Tian’s mind raced, and he peered into the contents of the letter through his perceptive gaze.
In his perceptive view, Lin Tian saw his and Xiao Manxue’s nas. The content was indeed similar to what the principal had ntioned, but besides a few lines, the rest was filled with signatures, easily more than a dozen nas at a glance.
Could so many people have grievances against ? That shouldn’t be right, Lin Tian was stunned seeing those nas. But upon spotting the na "Guo Heng," Lin Tian understood everything.
Guo Heng was the captain of the basketball team, a person Lin Tian had almost forgotten existed. This simple-minded, physically adept guy was always just cannon fodder for people like Sun Decai, sold without even knowing it.
This so-called basketball team captain had surely gathered a bunch of teammates to sign a collective complaint, Lin Tian could guess as much with the re reasoning of his toes. These people were mostly from wealthy families, though none as affluent as the Bai Family but all with substantial family assets.
Their families had connections and had donated to Xikou City High School before. Just because of this, Principal Yan couldn’t possibly ignore them, after all, he was just a principal.
"Hehe..." Lin Tian chuckled aningfully and shook his head slightly.
Principal Yan looked embarrassed. He didn’t know Lin Tian could see the complaint list through perspective vision, but judging by his expression, he thought this discerning student had likely guessed sothing.
"Lin Tian..." for the first ti ever, Principal Yan didn’t use ’student’ but called him by his na, he said, "Judging from your expression, you’ve probably guessed that the people who complained are ones I couldn’t ignore. Do you look down on as a principal, compromising with so students’ parents behind them?"
"Hehe, Principal Yan naturally has your difficulties, as a student, what else can I comnt on?" Lin Tian laughed and spoke nonchalantly.
Possibly stimulated by the tone and expression of Lin Tian, Principal Yan’s face underwent an awkward phase, then he said sowhat excitedly: "You’re right, I have to compromise with these parents, and also with parents like Sun Hai and your Xiao Family, after all, I am rely a principal."
Lin Tian looked at Principal Yan sowhat surprised, not expecting him to dare to speak like this in front of a student, and judging from the tone, there was helplessness and even a hint of frustration.
"Our school, as the top-ranked high school in Xikou City, among all schools in the city, has the best teachers, the best facilities, and the highest progression rate, even nationally recognized as a premier high school, a model institution, do you think this is possible with just my passion alone?"
"Without the wealthy’s donations, we are just an ordinary school. That latest computer block, including the computers inside, was donated by the Xiao Family, the multidia classrooms, also funded, the modern library, also funded. With just the state’s funding, we couldn’t even establish half of this scale. Could I not compromise?" Principal Yan said looking at Lin Tian, speaking passionately.
In front of this young student, for so reason, Principal Yan didn’t regard him as just a student, and revealed everything. Lin Tian was also surprised he could be so passionate. Xiao Manxuan was well aware that many of the school’s facilities were donated.
Principal Yan cald down, stood up, walked to the side of the office, took out a folder, and returned.
"Lin Tian, take a look, this is the second reason why I asked you to co here," Principal Yan handed the folder to Lin Tian, and said.
Lin Tian, not understanding his intentions, took the folder and opened it, a docunt typed in black letters on white paper, titled: ’Notification of Xikou City High School regarding the direct admission list to prestigious universities,’ two pages long, with the latter page listing the students’ nas.
Casually browsing, Lin Tian saw that the first na on the direct admission list was Xiao Manxuan, and the second was Lin Tian, followed by nas like Sun Decai and Guo Heng.
Exempt from the college entrance exam, directly admitted to prestigious universities, Lin Tian of course knew the importance of this list. He glanced at Xiao Manxuan, the little girl didn’t seem surprised at all, seemingly aware of these matters.
"Principal Yan, so of these people have good academic performance, and I have no issue with that, but Sun Decai and Guo Heng, both of whose character and academic results are very poor, how are they qualified to be on this direct admission list?" Lin Tian frowned slightly as he spoke.
"This is the result of compromise," Principal Yan simply said.
"There must be reasons for them being on the direct admission list, otherwise, it won’t be who is complained about, but you," Lin Tian questioned, puzzled.
"Reasons are made up by people, athletic specialties, outstanding contributions in sports competitions, etc., all these can beco reasons," Principal Yan said, but he also knew how contrived his reasons sounded.
"Principal Yan, I don’t need the direct admission, please strike my na off it," Xiao Manxuan suddenly said, her tone indifferent to the direct admission but filled with strong confidence in her own abilities.
Seeing this list, Lin Tian had already anticipated this outco. With this little girl’s pride, how could she possibly accept direct admission? He just laughed and said, "I also don’t need the direct admission, the na ’Lin Tian’ doesn’t need to appear on it."
Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan looked at each other, both showing the sa expression: I knew you would do that.
