Chapter 282 - 282 Leave of Absence
He didn’t want to tell Chu Ning this news personally as pained him to see the school treat her like this.
“Mr. Lin, please be careful. There are surveillance cameras in the office.” Chu Ning pointed at the top of her head.
“Those people don’t have the time to watch it. They only care about their own interests,” Lin Hao said with a self-mocking tone.
!!
“Mr. Lin, I want to take a leave of absence.” Chu Ning continued. Taking leave would not affect her studies, and she was sure Lin Hao would agree to it. More importantly, Chu Ning needed time to deal with some things, which would determine if she could turn the situation around.
“You want to take leave?” Lin Hao glanced at Chu Ning in surprise.
“Yes, Mr. Lin. Is it possible?” Chu Ning nodded.
“No problem. Very good. Your decision is right. Write a leave note now and I’ll approve it for you” Lin Hao agreed readily. Then, he took out a piece of draft paper and a pen from his desk drawer and handed them to Chu Ning.
A few minutes later, Chu Ning left Lin Hao’s office with the leave slip.
Lin Hao watched as Chu Ning left. He leaned back in his chair and sighed slowly. The principal had given him a clear order not to allow Chu Ning to take leave, even though it was every student’s right and freedom to do so. By doing so, Lin Hao was helping Chu Ning at the risk of being fired.
“Chu Ning, this is all I can do.” Lin Hao slowly clenched his fists and murmured to himself.
Chu Ning returned to the classroom after receiving the leave application form.
She only tidied up her desk a little. She didn’t intend to take her bag, textbooks, and other items with her.
“Chu Ning, what are you doing?” Song Gui was shocked by Chu Ning’s actions.
“Don’t take things too hard!” Song Gui’s expression changed and he quickly said.
“What are you thinking? I only took a few days off.” Chu Ning glanced at Song Gui and said slightly exasperatedly.
“Oh, that’s good,” Song Gui said with a smile. He thought Chu Ning was going to drop out.
“Don’t go, Chu Ning. I won’t have a deskmate for the next few days,” Xiaomi said pitifully.
“I’ll give you a surprise when I get back,” Chu Ning said mysteriously.
“Really? Chu Ning is the best!” Xiaomi’s eyes lit up with excitement.
“I’ll bring you a souvenir from a haunted house. Are you sure you want it? You should just study hard and stop getting distracted.” Chu Ning scoffed jokingly and left the classroom.
When she reached the gate of Jingyuan High School, Chu Ning turned around and looked at the building.
“Just wait, I’ll be back soon.” After muttering to herself, Chu Ning took a deep breath and left with determined steps.
From that moment on, she had shed her student identity and left the school. She was now President Chu.
After exiting the school, Chu Ning’s destination was clear. She went straight to the bank. She had made an appointment with the bank last night. A professional staff would be waiting for her today.
At the same time, Zhang Bo had found a suitable candidate in Xizhuang Village and told him the story that Chu Ning had sent him last night.
“Manager Zhang… Is it appropriate to do this?” The Xizhuang villager was still a little hesitant, but Zhang Bo had offered him too much for him to reject. The money was enough for him to not work for several years.
“You should be very clear that this is not illegal after all. It might just be a little immoral from your perspective. However, capitalism is a dirty game. Do you want to be exploited for the rest of your life without a chance to turn things around?” Zhang Bo took a sip of tea and said softly.
Before he met this person, he had done a detailed background check on him. Zhang Bo knew what this person wanted, just like how Chu Ning knew what he wanted.
“But…” Huang Fang was still hesitant.
“I’ve given you the opportunity. Don’t blame me if you don’t grasp it. You should know that there are still many people waiting in line for such a good chance.” Zhang Bo stood up and prepared to leave.
“Manager Zhang, I promise you.” Huang Fang looked at Zhang Bo’s departing figure and made up his mind.
“That’s a smart choice. When an opportunity comes, you have to grab it without hesitation.” Zhang Bo returned to his seat.
He looked at the Xizhuang villager sitting opposite him and said with relief. The rest of the rehearsal went smoothly. Zhang Bo had chosen this middle-aged man named Huang Fang because he had received higher education. Naturally, his was much more sensible than someone like Buddy.
