Upon the arrival of the first month's salary in the new term, the bonus was to be distributed along with it. However, for Teacher Zhou, it was as if the duck that was already in her hand had flown away. She would not be receiving this bonus with her monthly salary.
Gu Zi was quite satisfied with this punishment. She accepted the apology gift from Director Zeng, saying, "Since Director Zeng has stepped in, we can consider this matter closed."
Director Zeng, with a warm smile, replied, "Seeing you accept these, I can rest assured. I won't bother you any longer, I'll take my leave."
After Director Zeng's departure, Su Shen emerged from the kitchen, taking little Su Le's hand and walking over to Gu Zi. "The kitchen is all cleaned up," he said. "If you want to continue reading, go ahead. You have exams this year, so you should focus more on your studies. I'll take Lele upstairs to change her clothes; she's gotten wet."
