Peerless Cupid System

"Everyone knows I'm a senior teacher, and if I wanted to, I might be the principal of Shilian Middle School. But do you know why I refused all kinds of promotions and honestly became an ordinary teacher?"

Cui Qiuzhen had no answer to the old man's question.

But she still answered, "The teachers in the office have talked about this issue, and everyone says you have high moral character and don't care about being the principal."

"Noble character, utter nonsense!" the old man laughed. "The principal's salary is much, much higher than our teachers' salaries. Do you think I haven't thought about that?"

Cui Qiuzhen was stunned for a moment, somewhat confused as to why the old man refused the promotion.

The old man took a deep drag of his cigarette and slowly exhaled.

"The reason I keep refusing is because I know that my abilities are limited. I can teach a class of students well, but I can't manage a school."

“I am an ordinary person, and I am most susceptible to temptation. If I become a principal, I will have a lot of power, and all sorts of messy things will come my way. I am afraid of making mistakes, so I stick to my duty and am willing to be a junior teacher.”

Cui Qiuzhen was stunned for a long time, never expecting that the old man would refuse to be the principal for such a reason.

The old man sighed. “I call this self-awareness, but many people in the school don’t. For example, Zeng, the director of the teaching affairs office. Actually, I’ve already answered your question.”

Cui Qiuzhen was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a while, she asked in great surprise, "Teacher Shen, your answer wouldn't be Ling Ziqian, would it?"

“That’s right!” The old man smiled like a hermit.

“But he, he is just…” Cui Qiuzhen didn’t know what to say. She hadn’t expected the old man to think so highly of Ling Ziqian.

"I don't know how to evaluate that kid, but just now, when I couldn't think of any leader to ask for help, I suddenly thought of that kid. Since we've already called him over, let's just wait and see."

The old man exhaled a puff of smoke and waited patiently.

Cui Qiuzhen looked toward the teaching room, but could not see what was inside.

Ling Ziqian pushed open the door to the teaching room and saw Shen Qiaoyan standing in the corner, as if she was being punished.

Meanwhile, Zeng Dehong, with his fat face, was sitting in a chair playing on his computer.

Upon seeing that it was Ling Ziqian, Shen Qiaoyan excitedly called out "Master".

Zeng Dehong looked at Ling Ziqian expressionlessly, "Is there something you need?"

Not long ago, Zeng Dehong threatened him and Su Mingxi, and Ling Ziqian gave him a cold shoulder.

"I've come to take my friend away." Ling Ziqian looked at Shen Qiaoyan and waved to her.

“Master…” Shen Qiaoyan walked over from the corner of the wall, looking at Ling Ziqian with some concern.

Zeng Dehong was furious at Ling Ziqian's words. His face was full of anger. "Where do you think this is? Who do you think you are? Do you own the school? You come and take people away, humph!"

Ling Ziqian's face darkened. "What does Director Zeng mean? Is the school your family's property? You can't just expel someone and deduct their file whenever you want!"

These words made Zeng Dehong tremble all over!

He had never encountered a student who was so unafraid of teachers and dared to talk back like that!

"Ling Ziqian, do you have to meddle in everything? She hit someone, do you know that? Hitting someone means you get expelled, don't you understand?"

"If you're going to fire him, then fire him. What do you mean by making him stand in the corner? I heard your nephew has done a lot of assaults. Why don't you fire him too?"

When Ling Ziqian retorted, Zeng Dehong was so angry that his lungs ached!

He glared angrily at Ling Ziqian, "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't know anything about my nephew's affairs, but I saw Shen Qiaoyan hitting someone with my own eyes!"

Ling Ziqian nodded. "I've heard about what happened. She hit someone to help her classmate because someone was harassing a girl, so she took action. Instead of blaming the boy who harassed the girl, you're shouting for him to be expelled. Shen Qiaoyan helped her classmate!"

"Hehe, helping a classmate!" Zeng Dehong smiled expressionlessly. "They were a couple, being all lovey-dovey. Shen Qiaoyan couldn't stand it, so she went up and beat them up. Of course, I'll deal with that couple too!"

Couple?

Ling Ziqian looked at Shen Qiaoyan.

Shen Qiaoyan quickly shook her head, "How could they be a couple? The whole class saw it! That scoundrel molested Yang Yamei!"

"Everyone saw it, but is it possible that everyone saw it wrong?" Zeng Dehong revealed a sinister smile. "Today I'm going to teach you a lesson: even what you saw might be wrong!"

As he spoke, Zeng Dehong made a phone call, asking someone to bring over the boy who had been beaten by Shen Qiaoyan, as well as Yang Yamei, the person involved.

Not long after, the office door opened, and Yang Yamei, with a streak of dyed blonde hair, walked in with a sleazy-looking boy.

The office door was open, and the old man and Cui Qiuzhen stood in the doorway, watching what was happening inside the office.

Ling Ziqian had met Yang Yamei and knew that she and Shen Qiaoyan had had a conflict, but the two seemed to have made up.

Upon seeing Yang Yamei, Shen Qiaoyan exclaimed excitedly, "Yang Yamei, you must tell the director of the teaching affairs office right away that this person sexually assaulted you!"

Zeng Dehong spoke with a stern face, "Yang Yamei, tell us what happened!"

Feeling awkward under everyone's gaze, Yang Yamei lowered her head and hesitated for a long time before finally speaking, "This is, this is my boyfriend..."

"Huh?" Shen Qiaoyan was quite startled.

"Hmph, did you hear that!" Zeng Dehong said smugly. "When a couple is being affectionate, you go up and beat them up. Your behavior is extremely bad!"

Shen Qiaoyan looked on in disbelief. "Yang Yamei, we ran into this guy when we came to school this morning. You said he was some kind of hoodlum or a hooligan, and that you hated people like that. How could he possibly be your boyfriend?"

Yang Yamei kept her head down, and no one could see her expression. She spoke softly, "You're mistaken. I didn't say that."

Chapter 248 I'll handle that guy!

Yang Yamei's words plunged Shen Qiaoyan into despair!

Since Yang Yamei said that the sleazy-looking guy was her boyfriend.

So, this confirms that Shen Qiaoyan intentionally injured someone, rather than trying to help her classmate!

Zeng Dehong, with his fat face, revealed a smug smile.

Having outmaneuvered Ling Ziqian, he waved his hand, signaling Yang Yamei and the sleazy-looking boy to leave.

Ling Ziqian frowned, guessing at a possibility.

He quickly asked Shen Qiaoyan a question, and then called Yang Yamei and the sleazy-looking boy to a halt.

"Director Zeng!" Ling Ziqian looked at Zeng Dehong. "You said you would handle this young couple in love. Shall I ask them a few questions for you?"

"Huh?" Zeng Dehong hadn't expected Ling Ziqian to be so bold, and he subconsciously asked, "What do you want to ask?"

Ling Ziqian looked at Yang Yamei and asked, "Since you say you're a couple, I'd like to ask, how long have you been dating?"

Yang Yamei did not answer this question.

The cocky-looking boy gave Ling Ziqian a defiant look and replied, "We've been together for a long time. What, you disagree?"

Ling Ziqian nodded and walked up to Yang Yamei. "You two have been dating for so long, Yang Yamei, can you tell me your boyfriend's name?"

This simple question stumped Yang Yamei!

She raised her head, glanced quickly at Ling Ziqian, and then lowered her head again.

The air suddenly became eerily quiet!

"Yang Yamei, what do you mean by not saying anything? Have you forgotten your boyfriend's name, or do you not want to tell me? Or perhaps you simply don't know your boyfriend's name!"

Ling Ziqian laughed, "This is too strange. You dare to say he's your boyfriend, that you've been dating for a long time, but you can't even answer his name!"

At this moment, Shen Qiaoyan also figured out what was going on!

Just now, Ling Ziqian asked her which class the boy was in and whether Yang Yamei knew him. (This last sentence appears to be unrelated and possibly a fragment from another context.)

The answer was naturally no; that sleazy-looking boy was from another class. Yang Yamei had hardly ever seen him before, so how could she know him!

The old man and Cui Qiuzhen standing at the door smiled, seeing a glimmer of hope.

The cocky-looking boy shouted, "What business is it of yours what my name is?"

Ling Ziqian nodded. "This really is my business. My friend's business is my business!"

Hearing Ling Ziqian say such a thing, Shen Qiaoyan grinned from ear to ear, very happy!

“Director Zeng!” Ling Ziqian looked at Zeng Dehong. “I suspect that Yang Yamei was threatened and was afraid of being retaliated against by this person, so she lied and said that she and this person were a couple!”

"Who are you calling a threat? We're a couple!" the sleazy-looking boy yelled.

"Oh, you two are a couple and have been dating for a long time. Can you tell me her birthday?" Ling Ziqian asked another question.

Just as the sleazy-looking boy was about to speak, Ling Ziqian pointed to the computer on the desk.

"Don't just give me a random date. The computer has the files of all the students in the school. If you enter a name, it will know all the student's information!"

"..." The sleazy-looking boy suddenly felt incredibly aggrieved. His face was full of anger. "Why should I tell you it's my girlfriend's birthday!"

Ling Ziqian chuckled and looked at Zeng Dehong to see how he would handle the matter.

Zeng Dehong's expression was grim. He looked at the sleazy-looking boy and asked, "Did you threaten Yang Yamei to lie?"

"No!" The sleazy-looking boy naturally wouldn't admit it.

"Did you hear that?" Zeng Dehong looked at Ling Ziqian expressionlessly.

Ling Ziqian and Shen Qiaoyan almost vomited blood. Zeng Dehong immediately believed the sleazy-looking boy when he simply said no, but he didn't believe a word of what the two of them had said!

Ling Ziqian looked at Yang Yamei, his last hope resting in her hands.

Shen Qiaoyan shouted, "Yang Yamei, how can you lie through your teeth? You don't even know him, you don't even know his name. He molested you, and you still defend him. Don't talk about whether you're being fair to me or not, how can you face yourself?"

The sleazy-looking boy said with a stern face, "You hit me, and you're trying to shirk responsibility? Director Zeng, expel this kind of person immediately! Keeping someone like this in school is a disaster!"

"You're the real scoundrel, you scoundrel..."

Zeng Dehong roared with a dark face, "Do you think this is a vegetable market? What are you shouting about?"

Yang Yamei kept her head down, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

The truth of the matter was clear to everyone long ago, but Zeng Dehong pretended not to understand and wanted to fire Shen Qiaoyan.

Ling Ziqian hesitated, wondering whether he should let Yang Yamei tell the truth.

She was definitely threatened; if she tells the truth, the consequences could be dire.

But if she's threatened like this, won't her fate be terrible?

Ling Ziqian glanced at his silver watch; he currently had 10 points of ambiguity in his possession.

He reached out and gently touched Yang Yamei, using up some of his "ambiguity points" to calm her down.

Ling Ziqian wasn't sure if Yang Yamei would say anything after he did this.

But if she had any conscience, she certainly wouldn't stand by and watch Shen Qiaoyan, who helped her, be fired because of her slander!
