Liang Mengsong quickly shouted, "Stop! I'm the one who gave the negative review. You're looking for me!"
Xu Xiaoyue was stunned. Xu Qingqing coldly pulled back her arm. There were several nail marks on it. It hurt so much!
"How could it be you?" Xu Xiaoyue couldn't believe it. She trembled her hand and pointed back and forth between Xu Qingqing and Liang Mengsong. "You're taking the blame for her, aren't you?"
Liang Mengsong's face instantly darkened. "What do you mean?"
"As a parent, can't I file a complaint? Do I need your permission before filing a complaint?"
Liang Mengsong's voice got louder and louder. He was full of anger!
When did he have to be lectured by a mere kindergarten teacher!
The commotion here alerted the kindergarten principal who was talking to the parents at the school gate. The principal quickly ran over, scolding Xu Xiaoyue for her thoughtlessness in her heart.
The principal respectfully apologized to Liang Mengsong. "Mr. Liang, don't be angry. Teacher Xu didn't mean any harm. She just wanted to figure out your opinions so that we can improve."
Xu Xiaoyue, who was convinced that the negative review was given by Xu Qingqing, didn't expect the situation to reverse. Seeing the principal come to help her out, she gave the principal a grateful smile and apologized repeatedly.
"Sorry, Mr. Liang. I was too impulsive. Please forgive me."
"That's not what you said just now! Weren't you going to drag Miss Xu to confront the principal just now? The principal is right here. Confront her face to face!"
Liang Mengsong wasn't going to let it go. It was a good opportunity to show off in front of Xu Qingqing. His words carried the authority of the business world, leaving Xu Xiaoyue speechless.
Xu Qingqing clasped her fists and squinted her eyes. She didn't refute.
Exactly!
Why did she get wrongly accused while Liang Mengsong received an apology? She didn't believe that Xu Xiaoyue was being fair.
The principal turned around and glared at Xu Xiaoyue with an ugly face.
How dare Xu Xiaoyue cause trouble for Xu Qingqing!
Who did she think she was!
If this matter got to Lu Chuanbai's ears, the whole kindergarten might as well close down, and they would all be fired!
Before Liang Mengsong could say anything else, the principal no longer stood by Xu Xiaoyue's side. She said coldly, "Xu Xiaoyue, making a hasty conclusion before getting to the bottom of things. Is this what a teacher should do?"
"You're fired. Pack your things and leave."
"Principal, I can't leave!"
Xu Xiaoyue panicked completely. She bent over and grabbed the principal's wrist.
She hadn't even confessed her love to Lu Chuanbai yet. How could she leave!
The principal remained unmoved. Xu Xiaoyue bit her lip, looked at Xu Qingqing, swallowed all her grievances, and said tremblingly, "Miss Xu, I'm sorry. I misunderstood you. Please don't fire me. I'm really sorry."
The principal stared with a stern face. "What if you make mistakes again in the future?"
"If I make another mistake, you can fire me!" Xu Xiaoyue's voice was full of sobs. Her eyes were red and swollen. It was hard to scold her anymore.
"Miss Xu, Xu Xiaoyue has realized her mistake..." The principal rubbed her hands and looked at Xu Qingqing with a forced smile, full of expectation.
Xu Qingqing frowned unhappily. She was even more annoyed.
It wasn't her who filed the complaint. Why did it seem like she was the one preventing Xu Xiaoyue from continuing to work?
Xu Qingqing forced a fake smile and said coldly, "It was Mr. Liang who filed the complaint. It has nothing to do with me, right?"
After saying that, Xu Qingqing rudely walked past them. She sent the two children into the kindergarten and then turned around and left, stomping her feet to vent her dissatisfaction.
What on earth did she do to deserve this? People just kept splashing dirt on her for no reason.
It was so annoying!
"Mr. Liang, I'm sorry. I won't do this again." Xu Xiaoyue cried pitifully.
Seeing that Xu Qingqing had left, Liang Mengsong didn't want to continue entanglement. He quickly warned, "Principal, I'll leave this matter to you."
"Okay." The principal heaved a sigh of relief and loudly declared her attitude to Liang Mengsong. "Then you'll have to reflect at home for a week and seriously think about your mistakes."
Seeing that her job was saved, Xu Xiaoyue attributed all her gratitude to Liang Mengsong. "Thank you."
Xu Xiaoyue resented Xu Qingqing even more in her heart. She could have said a single word to let her get back to work, but Xu Qingqing refused to do so. Instead, she had to be punished.
Such a woman was so scheming!
Xu Qingqing returned to Lu Qi's antique shop. Lu Qi, who was giving instructions to the receptionist, saw Xu Qingqing and tried to hide in the room.
Xu Qingqing snorted and called him. "What are you hiding for? Am I that scary?"
Seeing that his intention was discovered, Lu Qi smiled awkwardly. "Good morning, Qingqing. Did you sleep well last night?"
"Thanks to you, I slept well."
Xu Qingqing poured herself a cup of tea. She slowly sipped the tea while looking at Lu Qi, making him feel uncomfortable.
"Qingqing, if you have something to say, just say it. Can you stop staring at me?" Lu Qi shrugged his shoulders.
"What's wrong? Can't I look at you because you're good-looking?" Xu Qingqing forced a smile.
Hearing this, Lu Qi waved his hands repeatedly. "No no no. Please don't say that."
If Lu Chuanbai heard this, he would definitely kill him!
"Did he call you again yesterday?" Xu Qingqing drank up the tea in one gulp.
"No." Lu Qi lied subconsciously, but when he met Xu Qingqing's eyes, he honestly changed his answer. "He did."
"What did he say?" Xu Qingqing tilted her body and looked at Lu Qi sideways. Her eyes were full of cunning.
"He said he was willing to pay." Lu Qi helplessly betrayed Lu Chuanbai and sighed in his heart.
Lu Chuanbai, it's not that I don't want to help you. I also need to make a living.
He actually accepted paying 10 million for a vase.
The smile on Xu Qingqing's face disappeared instantly. She turned around and went back to the restoration room.
It seemed that Lu Chuanbai didn't understand what he did wrong!
While she was restoring, Huang Liwei brought three more vases to talk business with Lu Qi. When Lu Qi saw Huang Liwei, he quickly pulled him into the office and nervously asked him, "Did Lu Chuanbai say anything to you?"
"Did he say how to solve this matter?"
It couldn't go on like this forever!
Huang Liwei gave a simple and honest smile. "Don't worry. General Manager Lu came with me this time. He specifically told me that if Miss Xu is angry, I should take Miss Xu Qingqing to the car to find him."
"That's better." Lu Qi heaved a sigh of relief.
If this kept going on, maybe one day Xu Qingqing would be so frustrated that she would go to another shop. Where could he find such a good restoration master!
"Did he really say 10 million for one vase?" Lu Qi asked tentatively again, his mind working fast.
10 million for one vase, 30 million for three vases. He could get 20%, which was 6 million!
He was going to make a fortune!
"Yes, as long as Miss Xu accepts it." Huang Liwei still had a simple and honest smile on his face. He secretly sighed at Lu Chuanbai's generosity in pursuing his wife.
"Okay, I'll take them to Qingqing." Lu Qi happily picked up the fragments of the vases and went to find Xu Qingqing.
Xu Qingqing was restoring a vase from the Kangxi period. Lu Qi gently knocked on the door to get Xu Qingqing's attention.
Xu Qingqing took off her mask. "What's up?"
