It's surprising that Director Gao, with so many years of management experience, can't understand this a strict attitude towards subordinates is a way of commanding respect, not because of other reasons.
Logically, the principal should maintain a neutral stance on such matters, neither advocating nor opposing. Otherwise, how could he explain it to the Xiao Family? Now that a meeting has been arranged, could someone have tattled? Lin Tian couldn't fathom the reason, nor did he expect Director Gao to reveal anything. He believed in facing whatever came his way, no matter what.
Once again in the principal's office, Director Gao knocked and then left. Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan entered the office, where Principal Yan was still sitting behind his desk, reviewing documents.
"Mr. Lin, Mr. Xiao, you're here. Don't be formal; please, take a seat," Principal Yan greeted them warmly, but then he realized he was being superfluous.
