The rumors about the godfather situation at school intensified, and Gu Xiaoer and Ai Le had guessed who might be behind it.
They never expected it would be Guo Ting...
Only someone pulling strings from behind the scenes would be so eager to spread such rumors to Shenghan Group, aiming to completely tarnish Gu Xiaoer.
There's always a reason for rumors, but who would have thought that Guo Ting, who seems so proud and aloof, would stoop so low for her own desires?
What exactly did she do to anger Shenghan Group?
Amidst these thoughts, she heard Principal Wang's exasperated voice coming through, "Xiao Er, the principal really shouldn't be troubling you with this. We just asked her to deliver a document to give her a bit of a jolt, but it backfired, and she caused a huge disaster. She's still being held in the security room! But even when I personally went to apologize to the President of Shenghan, they turned me away at the door."
Principal Wang was clearly distressed as he spoke.
"How could this happen?" Gu Xiaoer hadn't thought things would escalate to this level. Guo Ting seemed savvy enough; surely she wouldn't make such a blunder? And why would such a large conglomerate like Shenghan Group not let go of a student who couldn't stir up any real trouble…
How strange...
"But principal, it's useless even if you apologize. I have little influence, and I'm not officially employed yet, so how could I manage?" Gu Xiaoer was also worried. Other than knowing Minister Bai from Shenghan, she didn't know anyone else.
And Minister Bai didn't seem like someone who would interfere with unrelated matters. If the principal's word didn't matter, what could a college student like her do?
"You can do it, you definitely can! It takes the person who tied the bell to untie it!" Principal Wang said this, but in reality, he wasn't certain. He was just taking a desperate shot in the dark by asking Gu Xiaoer to try. After all, the President of Shenghan had called several times specifically regarding Gu Xiaoer's matters, which made him wonder.
This was about the ongoing investment from Shenghan into Nanyi School; he absolutely couldn't stand by and watch it fall apart.
Gu Xiaoer felt awkward, not picking up on the principal's hint. She just thought that she was the main character in this gossip, and that was why the principal had specifically asked her to go and clarify matters.
"Xiao Er, for the honor of the school, the principal can only entrust this to you! If you see the President of Shenghan or senior management, please put in a good word for our school. This is your alma mater after all; you don't want to see it ruined, do you..."
"Principal, why do you have to make it sound so serious? You can't put all the pressure on Xiao Er! And what if Xiao Er gets implicated by Guo Ting if she goes?" Ai Le frowned, speaking bluntly.
"This..." Principal Wang's expectant gaze fell on Gu Xiaoer. "You don't have to worry about Guo Ting; Shenghan isn't an unreasonable place. Xiao Er, just give it a try!"
Gu Xiaoer felt the heavy burden on her shoulders, as if a tall hat had been pressed down upon her. She helplessly shook her head, neither agreeing nor refusing.
"Principal, I've understood clearly. It's just that Shenghan Group now has a negative impression of our school, and you need me to go and communicate, right? But just like you, as a student of Nanyi, I can't get to see the president or other senior figures!"
"Don't worry about that!" As soon as Principal Wang saw there was hope, his eyes lit up. He whispered mysteriously, "I've quietly inquired, and tonight the President of Shenghan will be at Yanhuang International Clubhouse. You can just go there and find him!"
