Jiang Tang went with the lawyer to handle the matter involving the principal of No. 3 Middle School.
The evidence they had collected was conclusive, and the principal of No. 3 Middle School couldn't escape imprisonment.
That student named Wang Xing had been bullying other students at school and extorting protection fees like a gangster, and the evidence against him was also conclusive.
When Shen Ji'an punched him and caused a mild concussion, it was considered a minor injury and did not constitute a criminal offense.
Wang Xing had also hit Shen Ji'an before, so it was considered a mutual fight.
Moreover, the classroom surveillance footage showed that it was Wang Xing who had provoked first.
Since both of them were minors, they would at most have to pay for the medical expenses.
But the lawyer said that since Shen Ji'an had also been beaten, he needed to have an injury assessment. It was still uncertain who would end up paying whom.
With such a big incident happening at No. 3 Middle School, the education bureau officials came and said they would expel Wang Xing.
The principal's sister cried and begged the officials not to expel her child and said she didn't want the compensation anymore!
Wang Xing never expected that Ji'an had such powerful backing. His uncle was going to jail, and he was extremely shocked.
Seeing his mother crying with snot and tears all over her face, he was terribly panicked. He promised the officials in front of them that he wouldn't do such things again.
Jiang Tang looked cold and calm. "The matter of compensation is not up to you, and you must apologize to Lin Mo and Shen Ji'an!"
They knew that the officials would also look at their attitude of repentance.
They said they could apologize.
However, when Jiang Tang contacted Lin Mo, Lin Mo said she was too busy doing exercises to listen to their apology. She asked them to record an apology video and post it in the big group chat of No. 3 Middle School.
Apologize to all the students.
Wang Xing and his mother: "..."
What a tough demand!
After the matter was almost settled, Jiang Tang went back to the company and reported the situation to Shen Yihan in his office.
Shen Yihan nodded and looked at Jiang Tang. "Thank you for your hard work."
Jiang Tang was stunned. It was the first time he had heard the president say such words.
He used to be very cold, cold from the inside out.
"It's not hard. That principal is really hateful. We also found some evidence of him abusing cats. The school surveillance footage captured it. He said he was too tired from managing No. 3 Middle School and under a lot of mental pressure."
Speaking of cats, Shen Yihan suddenly remembered that Jiang Tang had bought a Devon Rex cat plush toy for his sister in Jingnan that day.
In the afternoon, he recalled that his sister had raised a Devon Rex cat named Qiuqiu a long time ago.
So much time had passed that he had almost forgotten about it.
"How did you know my sister likes Devon Rex cats?"
Shen Yihan asked Jiang Tang, turning the Buddhist beads on his right wrist with his left hand.
Jiang Tang answered honestly, "I accidentally saw that the lock - screen wallpaper on Xiaomo's phone was a beautiful Devon Rex cat."
Wallpaper?
Shen Yihan hadn't noticed his sister's phone wallpaper.
His own phone wallpaper had always been the default one that came with the phone; he had never set it himself.
Jiang Tang knew that Shen Yihan's phone wallpaper was the system default and said, "Most people set their phone wallpapers to things they like."
Shen Yihan took this sentence to heart and casually asked, "What's your wallpaper?"
Jiang Tang took out his phone and lit up the screen.
On the screen was a desk with a nameplate on it. The nameplate said "President".
Shen Yihan: "..."
Jiang Tang still wanted to usurp his position!
Shen Yihan's eyelids twitched. "After you're done with this period of work, I'll transfer you to a branch company."
Then he stood up. "I'm going to pick up my sister."
However, at that moment, he received a message from Lin Mo on his phone.
[You don't need to pick me up tonight. Xie Guanyan will give me a ride home on his way.]
Shen Yihan frowned slightly, then sat back down on the chair. For a moment, he felt a complex mix of emotions.
Is Mr. Xie finally taking the first step?
Shen Yihan didn't think it was his sister who asked Mr. Xie to pick her up because his sister didn't like to trouble outsiders.
So it must have been Mr. Xie who offered.
In a way, this was a good thing.
Gu Jingchuan would be more convinced!
But he still felt very uncomfortable.
He couldn't even be a servant to pick her up now!
"Mr. Shen, what's wrong?" Jiang Tang asked.
Shen Yihan had nothing to hide from Jiang Tang. "My sister said I don't need to pick her up. Mr. Xie will pick her up on his way."
A look of surprise flashed across Jiang Tang's cold eyes. After hesitating for a few seconds, he still asked, "Does Mr. Xie like Xiaomo?"
Shen Yihan: "You've noticed too?"
Jiang Tang nodded. "I noticed it when Mr. Xie always came out to pick up Xiaomo when she returned to the villa. Does Xiaomo know?"
Xiaomo already knew that she didn't like Gu Jingchuan. She had taught the president how to write a self - reflection.
She had carefully analyzed Lin Mo's psychology at that time. It was probably that after graduating from high school, she just wanted to have some fun with men as a way to relax.
Unexpectedly, onlookers thought she was deeply in love.
Shen Yihan stroked the Buddhist beads with his fingertips and shook his head. "My sister is very slow when it comes to love. She is confident but not narcissistic. If others don't clearly say it, she won't think in that direction."
Jiang Tang touched the gold bracelet on his wrist. "Xiaomo isn't obsessed with romantic relationships, and besides, she doesn't lack love."
People who don't lack love have rich inner worlds and won't always seek love from others.
Only those who lack love will try their best to find evidence of love in the slightest bit of kindness others show them.
There are many people around Lin Mo who like her and are nice to her.
Compared with being nice to her, maybe being mean to her is more likely to catch her attention.
But then again, she might not even look at those who are mean to her.
Thinking of this, Jiang Tang suddenly had a guess.
Could it be that Mr. Xie had been secretly in love with Xiaomo for a long time?
Was being a rival just a way for him to attract Lin Mo's attention?
As a popular school belle and top student who was surrounded by admirers, she could only remember a few people.
Last time, Lin Mo also said that before Mr. Xie transferred to No. 1 Middle School, she was far ahead of everyone else in terms of grades.
After he transferred there, his grades were right behind hers, forcing her to pay attention to him!
What a well - planned move...
But Mr. Xie transferred to the school. He probably didn't know Lin Mo before going to No. 1 Middle School, right?
Shen Yihan still said, "Let nature take its course. Mr. Xie has his own rhythm."
Jiang Tang couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it deeply anymore. Of course, he wouldn't talk nonsense either. "Okay, Mr. Shen."
It would be great if Xie Guanyan hadn't eaten.
Lin Mo was lying on the sofa, looking up restaurants on her phone.
He seemed to like spicy food and could handle a lot of it.
Sichuan cuisine should be good!
Shen Ji'an, who had learned his lesson, went to buy fruits at the hospital entrance.
Unexpectedly, he met Gu Jingchuan, who was fully armed with a mask and a hat.
"What a coincidence, Xiao'an," he suddenly greeted.
Shen Ji'an didn't have a good impression of him and ignored him.
After picking out the fruits, he took them to the front desk to weigh.
"Sixty - seven yuan in total," the cashier said.
Shen Ji'an took out his phone and was about to scan the code.
Gu Jingchuan scanned it first and said, "I'll treat you, Xiao'an."
Shen Ji'an frowned tightly. "I don't need it."
Gu Jingchuan: "Xiao'an, don't be so stand - offish. Just treat me as your elder brother."
Then Gu Jingchuan walked away, leaving a back view of him with his hands in his pockets, thinking he looked cool.
Shen Ji'an: "..."
What a show - off!
He quickly stepped forward and stuffed the fruits back into Gu Jingchuan's hands, looking cold and angry. "You bought them, so you take them back and eat them."
He wouldn't be bought off!
He turned around and walked out, planning to go out and buy fruits again. Then he saw a white figure getting out of a car beside him. His expression immediately became cheerful. "Mr. Xie!"
