Teacher Ji and the others didn't dare to talk back when scolded, but they didn't dare to slack off either.
He pulled the principal aside and whispered, "Principal, have you forgotten? This Wu Yu has connections above. This time, she was specially appointed. If we offend her, it'll be difficult for our school."
"Wu Yu?"
The principal thought carefully for a moment and seemed to have an impression of this person.
But...
"Get this matter sorted out properly for me right away!"
"Okay." Teacher Ji thought the principal had compromised. He walked up to Zheng Zhi and the others and said, "Student Zheng Zhi, anyway, we're giving you two options now. One is to get only the bonus without the award. The other is to get nothing."
"How can you do this?!"
"What do you mean 'how can you do this'? Principal..."
"Shut up." Seeing Shi Wan's gloomy face, the principal wished he could kick Teacher Ji right away. "I told you to handle this matter properly!"
Teacher Ji and the other teachers were all dumbfounded. Wasn't this what handling it properly meant?
"Teachers, who exactly is this Wu Yu that you're protecting her like this?"
"Student Shi Wan, how are you talking?"
"How are you talking?" the principal scolded sharply. "Take back the award that was given to Wu Yu and issue a notice of criticism!"
"Principal?"
"This is how this matter will be handled. If anyone has any objections, tell them to come to me directly!"
The teachers immediately shut up.
"All dumb?"
"......Okay, I'll go and do it right away."
After Zheng Zhi and the other left, Shi Wan looked at the time and the teachers in front of her. "As teachers, you've truly lived up to the term 'selfless and impartial'."
"I'll have this matter properly handled. As one of the school's shareholders, how can I allow the school's reputation to be smeared?"
"Wanwan, are you leaving now?"
Shi Wan gave a hum and walked away without looking back.
Teacher Ji and the other teachers looked at her back with disdain. No matter how capable she was, without a background, wouldn't she still have to compromise in the end?
The matter tonight had offended those above. What would happen to Shi Wan in the future was none of their business.
As soon as Shi Wan left the school, she saw a familiar car parked not far away. Some students around were curiously watching.
She walked over. The man in the car got out, causing quite a stir of exclamations around.
"How long have you been here?"
Most of the time for their appointment had already passed, and there were so many students gathered around. It should have been quite a while.
"It's okay. I just got here not long ago."
Shen Siyan fastened her seat - belt for her and drove home.
"Baby, were you unhappy at school today?"
As soon as she came out, Shen Siyan had noticed that her mood was off. Now she was even lowering her head to play with her phone and not looking at him at all.
Shi Wan replied to the last message and said, "Huh? What did you say?"
"Did you encounter any troubles?"
"It's okay. It's already been solved."
Shen Siyan tightened his grip on the steering wheel. "Solved?"
"Yeah, it's a small thing." Shi Wan looked at him. "Have you finished all your matters? I haven't seen Shen Zhengxu make a move recently."
"Yeah, he seems to be busy with other things recently, but it won't be long. There are very few people watching me now."
Shi Wan nodded and lowered her head to reply to Bai Yun's message.
"Do you know Longxu Group?"
"I know. It's a small company that just emerged not long ago, but it has quite a lot of potential. Why?"
Shen Siyan's eyes flashed slightly as he said calmly.
"I've got some troubles there."
"Shall I have someone check it out?"
The red light came on. Shen Siyan raised his hand and hooked the hair that had fallen on her shoulder. "Why did you let your hair down today?"
"Doesn't it look good?"
"It looks good. You look good no matter what." He hooked his lips and smiled gently. Taking advantage of the time, he leaned over and kissed her. "I like whatever my baby looks like."
Shi Wan's eyes were smiling. "That's more like it. I've already had someone check out that company almost thoroughly. It's just that some things are too deeply hidden to be found out. I'm worried that if we act rashly, it'll attract unnecessary troubles."
"Don't worry. Just act. You still have your husband to back you up."
Shi Wan raised her eyebrows. "Could it be..."
"Although it's not mine, I know something about it." He leaned over. "If you solve this, can I get a chance to ask you for a favor?"
"Sure." She thought for a moment. "But you can't ask for anything excessive."
"Not excessive." Shen Siyan hooked a triumphant smile. "This is actually a good thing for you too."
Shi Wan inexplicably felt a sense of unease. "......It's more like a good thing for you, right?"
"More or less. A husband and wife should help each other."
Shi Wan immediately understood.
She just felt that this time it seemed different.
When they got home, Shen Zhengxu's car was parked outside. Seeing the two of them coming back, he got out of the car.
"Siyan, Wanwan, why did you come back so late?"
"Uncle San, do you have something to do?"
"Can't I come over for a visit if I have nothing to do? It's been a long time since we uncles and nephews last saw each other."
"Please come in."
Shen Zhengxu sat for a while. Seeing that the two of them had no intention of paying attention to him, he didn't bother them anymore.
"Baby, what do you think his purpose is this time?"
"Of course..." Shi Wan dragged out her voice. "Of course, he's doing something bad."
At some point, there was something in her hand.
"This is something left behind where he sat just now."
A white powder. It was normal not to notice it if it was scattered on the ground or the sofa.
"Although I don't know what this is yet, it mustn't be something good." Shi Wan got up. "I'll go upstairs and take a look."
Shen Siyan let her go. After she went upstairs, he called Feng Tong.
"Continue to have people keep an eye on Shen Zhengxu's actions and the people he contacts. Don't miss anyone."
"Okay, sir." Feng Tong said, "Sir, recently Shen Zhengxu has started to get involved in the Shen family's business. We've also been observing the Longxu Group that you asked us to pay attention to. It turns out that Shen Zhengxu is doing some shady business there."
"Give him a big order. We'll deal with him all at once when it's time to close the net."
"Understood."
Shen Siyan went upstairs. Shi Wan had just come out of the room.
"Sure enough, it's not something good. Although these are small, their unique smell and medicinal properties can't be underestimated. Inhaling too much or smelling it for too long can easily cause nerve problems."
"Yeah, give it to me."
"What do you want to do?"
"Of course, I'm also doing something bad." He smiled and hugged her. "Don't you trust me?"
"No, this thing is dangerous. If you're not a professional, it's very difficult to detect, and it's also easy to inhale."
"So that's why we have to take it over to do something bad."
Shi Wan threw it to him and turned around to enter the master bedroom.
Didn't Shen Zhengxu think that she only had that little bit of medical skills?
She had overestimated him before.
She was about to enter the bathroom to take a shower when Shen Siyan followed her in.
"What are you doing? Taking a shower together?"
"Yeah, saving water. There are many people who don't even have enough water to drink."
Shi Wan made way. "Okay then."
"Why are you being so easy - going today?" he asked suspiciously. "Don't tell me you're up to something bad?"
"No. You wanted to, right? Coincidentally, I also thought of a way that's good for you. Let's do it together."
Shen Siyan got excited and hugged her, about to go in.
However, a minute later...
"The position is wrong. Be gentle."
"How much gentler do you want me to be?"
