What's wrong with me, a school principal, listening to students' suggestions?

There was another half minute of silence on the other end of the phone.

"You really know how to put pressure on people."

Gu Ci suddenly laughed, with a hint of being provoked.

Should I answer or not?

"catch."

"What do you need me to do?"

"Once the money is in place, give me the school's student size data by tomorrow, and I'll personally go to the factory to oversee things."

Gu Ci stated his requirements in the simplest and most direct way.

"The designer is also the supervisor?"

"When you gave me 500,000 for the design fee, I knew you weren't going to do things the usual way."

Gu Ci's tone carried a hint of helplessness.

"Now you want to send it to the whole school in ten days, then I have no choice but to accept it."

"Okay, money is not a problem."

"I'm going to contact the partner factory now."

Gu Ci paused, then added,

"But let me make this clear first: I can guarantee I'll do my best, but whether I can make it in time depends on fate."

If God won't give it to me, I will.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yucai immediately called Su Qingyan out.

"Starting today, all students will have their sizes measured."

"today?"

"Yes, all the homeroom teachers are mobilized."

"Height, shoulder width, and chest circumference should be measured according to the standards provided by Gu Ci."

"The data will be compiled before tonight."

"I'll arrange it right away," Su Qingyan nodded.

"Also, don't let this get out completely yet."

Why?

"It would be more effective to suppress the news for half a day, and then release it after the flag-raising ceremony on Monday."

Su Qingyan looked at him and suddenly smiled.

"You're getting more and more adept at handling these kinds of situations."

"There's no other way; No. 13 Middle School needs a bit of a sense of ceremony."

Gu Ci arrived at the school at noon that day.

She was dressed simply, her hair casually tied up, carrying a laptop and a large stack of size watches, and walking faster than the last time she came.

Upon entering the office, she didn't even drink any water before turning on her computer.

"I contacted three factories, two of which were unavailable due to scheduling conflicts, and only one was willing to take the job."

"The cost is high, and it requires working overnight."

"How much more expensive?"

"The cost per item has increased by at least 30%, not including expedited shipping."

"sign."

Gu Ci looked up at him.

"You're not going to bargain?"

"Our senior students are all waiting to take graduation photos, what price are you going to negotiate with me?"

After saying this, Gu Ci's eyes flickered slightly. Without saying anything more, he lowered his head and pulled up the contract terms.

In the afternoon, the entire school entered a strange measurement mode.

In the classroom, the homeroom teacher was busy moving around with a soft measuring tape.

The students were initially confused.

"Teacher, why do we need this test?"

"No, please cooperate properly."

"Wait, why are they even measuring leg length?"

"If you move around again, I'll give you a wrong size code, and your pants will be so short they'll be up to your ankles. Don't come crying to me then."

The senior year of high school is the most sensitive area.

Not long after the slips of paper were thrown out, the school started taking sizes, and many people already had a vague idea in their minds.

But until the official announcement, no one dared to truly believe it.

"Do you think... it's possible that the school uniforms will be issued early?"

Lin Xiaoya stood in line, letting her deskmate help her record the data, but her eyes were shining brightly.

"Don't jinx it yet, I can't stand having my hopes dashed right now."

The girl next to her lowered her voice.

"That's right, let's not talk about it yet." Lin Xiaoya nodded vigorously.

"I have a feeling that something big is about to happen."

She said that, but then she took out her phone and sent a message in the dormitory group chat.

In the evening, all the size data was finally compiled.

When Su Qingyan walked into the office carrying a thick stack of forms, her forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat.

"The data for all 508 students in the school is complete."

"For the few students who asked for leave, I had the dormitory manager call to confirm their approximate height and build, and we will provide the precise figures tomorrow."

Lin Yucai took it and flipped through it.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"You know how hard it is?" Su Qingyan put her pen on the table. "This workload is even bigger than scheduling exam venues for my midterms."

"You'll be a hero when the clothes are distributed."

"I don't want to be a hero; I just want to know what other tricks you're going to pull next."

Lin Yucai picked up his phone and sent the digital watch to Gu Ci.

"Next, we'll wait until Monday."

After sending the message, he looked up at Su Qingyan.

"and then?"

"Then I stood on the flagpole and told the whole school... the new school uniforms will be issued this semester."

Su Qingyan imagined the scene for a moment and then sighed.

"You'd better remind me in advance."

"What am I reminding you of?"

"Remind me to watch the students' reactions!"

……

Monday morning.

There wasn't much wind on the playground of No. 13 Middle School, but the sun was already a bit dazzling.

Before the flag-raising ceremony began, the students stood in their respective class lines, and there was noticeably more chatter than usual.

the reason is simple.

The TV interviews that aired last weekend have just finished, and the school is currently very popular.

In addition, with the sudden school-wide size measurement these past two days, many people are feeling anxious and uneasy.

First and second year of high school is all about curiosity.

Senior year of high school is filled with anticipation mixed with disbelief.

"Do you think it will be a school uniform?"

"Most likely."

"Didn't they say we'd switch it next semester?"

"Who knows, when has Principal Lin ever acted according to common sense?"

Zhang Yang stood in the class of Grade 11, Class 3, with his hands in his school uniform pockets, looking up at the flagpole.

"Brother Yang, do you think they'll actually say that today?"

Li Daqiang was in the next class, and he stretched his neck out like a goose.

"meeting."

How can you be so sure?

"Taking measurements is not something you can just do for fun."

"Will they only give them to senior high school students?"

Zhang Yang glanced at him.

Do you think the principal is the kind of person who shows favoritism?

Li Daqiang thought for a moment and immediately shook his head.

Not like.

It's so unlike anything I've seen before.

If this guy really wants to make a fortune, he'll probably take everything down with him.

On the platform, Lin Yucai and Su Qingyan were already standing.

Today, Su Qingyan wore a neat light gray suit, her hair was tied up, and she exuded a crisp aura.

Standing on the side of the stage, looking at the sea of ​​students below, she suddenly had a very subtle premonition.

Today's event is likely to be anything but peaceful.

After the flag-raising ceremony, Lao Ma recited a few disciplinary rules as usual.

Halfway through the reading, some people in the audience had already started to lose focus.

After he finally finished speaking, Lin Yucai stepped forward and took the microphone.

The buzzing sound on the playground immediately subsided considerably.

We're all too familiar with each other.

Every time Principal Lin comes up on stage, he has eight out of ten new tricks up his sleeve.

"Classmates, I have something to say today."

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell even quieter.

"A couple of days ago, I received quite a few notes from senior high school students in the suggestion box."

"The content is pretty much the same... I want to wear our No. 13 Middle School's new uniform once before graduation and take a decent graduation photo."

In the senior class, several people had their fingers clenched tightly.

Lin Xiaoya stood in the crowd, her heart pounding.

She felt she already knew what was going to be said next, but she was also afraid she was wrong.

"This request is not excessive."

Lin Yucai looked down, his tone unpleasant, but his enunciation clear.

"It's actually quite simple."

"You were there during the most difficult time of the 13th school, and you also watched the school move forward step by step."

"You won't be able to enjoy what others have for very long."

"So you won't miss out on the school uniform thing!"
