The Principal called Suizi into his office. After trading pleasantries and asking about the children, he tried to make small talk.
Last time, Fan Gao had leveraged the Principal to deliver fake documents. Thankfully, Suizi hadn't made a fuss about it, allowing the Principal to hold onto his position.
With all the negative news, his early retirement was a done deal. But because of Suizi, he had salvaged some dignity. It was only natural, then, for him to show excessive enthusiasm and even flatter her.

It was commonplace to exchange gifts among colleagues. The envelope Suizi received wasn't thick, so after a few polite refusals, she accepted it.
