When Principal Kong thought of Yao Tang, he couldn't help but berate her inwardly.
It seemed that his worry for her only grew with each passing day.
Thinking that people might come looking for him later, he picked up his phone and called his assistant, Xiao Liu.
"Listen carefully. I will be giving you a task, and you must promise to see that it gets done without a hitch."
On the other side, Xiao Liu put his teacup down, his face turning serious. "Of course. What do you need?"
"Keep an eye on the online trends. If you see the name Yao Tang appear on any news article or the like, you must put it down immediately. Rein in the public's opinion. She can't afford to be distracted at such a crucial time, do you understand?"
Xiao Liu was taken aback.
Given the principal's somber tone, he had initially thought that the task would involve school matters. He didn't expect it to have something to do with one particular student.
