The dumb wife died with hatred, and she was not obedient after rebirth
Chapter 18 You are being modest for me
The old principal retired, and the colleagues had a meal together. After the person left, the tea was cold. Whether to go or not was just to give face. Not to mention the people in the Education Bureau, they sent someone to give an honorary certificate and a bouquet of flowers, and then left after the gifts were delivered.
But the old principal of Tianheng High School is different. His son works in the Education Bureau, and his students are all over the world.
The retirement banquet for the old principal was a grand affair; the young teachers without experience just took a group photo at the school, and only those with longer teaching experience or those with teaching positions could sit at the table to eat.
Mrs. Huo is anxious to be promoted to director of studies before retirement. Normally, she should be more proactive at this time, but her attitude is abnormal. She does not go herself, but lets her son and secretary go instead. She acts more arrogantly than those in the Education Bureau.
After the school trip ended and on the way to the hotel, Fan Wenxin said, "There are so many teachers in charge of the senior class. All the teachers are going, but Auntie said she won't go. Will that offend people?"
She was holding a beautifully packaged gift box in her hand. She had picked it out at the mall yesterday. Mother Huo had kept a close eye on her and didn't allow her to buy anything expensive.
Fan Wenxin still remembered what Huo's mother said sarcastically: "The old principal has been honest all his life. If you give him expensive gifts, won't it ruin his reputation in his later years?"
Huo Yixiu pursed his lips, his eyes moved slightly, as if he was reminded of the past. He remained silent, slowly rotating the dragon wedding ring on his ring finger: "Those teachers have higher status than me?"
His voice was cold. Ling Zhao, who was sitting on his right, glanced at him and rolled his eyes inwardly.
She turned to look out the window.
At dusk and sunset, everything looks like a movie played in reverse.
No matter how good Fan Wenxin's relationship with Huo's mother is, Huo's mother will never tell her about what happened in the Huo family in the past.
There is a grudge between Huo's mother and the old principal.
When Huo's mother gave tutoring, someone reported it to the old principal. At that time, he was the head of the grade and was on the verge of promotion. When Huo's mother's tutoring was exposed, the Education Bureau issued a notice of criticism, and the leader who had a good relationship with Huo's mother was punished and had no hope of promotion. The old principal took over and everything went smoothly after that.
When Huo Yixiu was studying at Tianheng High School, the old principal nominally sympathized with the Huo family's difficulties and gave Huo Yixiu the opportunity to participate in the competition. Later, he was admitted to a prestigious school in advance, which was also recommended by the old principal.
To a certain extent, the old principal was grateful to Huo Yixiu for his help. Conversely, the old principal's smooth promotion was also related to Huo Yixiu.
Huo Yixiu always won first place in the competition, which ensured Tianheng High School's high-quality enrollment resources and improved his performance.
Not to mention that with Huo Yixiu's current status, attending his retirement party would be the icing on the cake for him.
Huo Yixiu praises himself so much, he really is just overestimating himself.
As soon as he said it, Ling Zhao wanted to go against him and step on him a few times.
Huo Yixiu saw her pretending to appreciate the scenery, the tasseled hairpin on her round black head swaying.
He asked her calmly, "Am I wrong?"
Ling Zhao pursed his lips: [My mother is responsible for her students. She would rather stay in school to watch over their studies so that the old principal can rest assured to hold his retirement banquet.]
Huo Yixiu pulled his lip slightly: "You are being modest for me, and you can also repair the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. When I get home, I will tell my mother that you spoke for her. At the banquet later, can you also help me socialize and say something good?"
Ling Zhao widened his eyes slightly.
He knew clearly that those people couldn't understand her sign language!
What is she, Ling Zhao?
It is a pendant on the body of the honorable Lord Huo Yixiu, showing his face but not making any sound.
Everyone said that Huo Yixiu was a good man. After he became rich, he did not abandon his wife. He gave his wife enough dignity and respect, and the couple lived in harmony.
At every banquet, big or small, the three of them were together. She was the silent pendant, while Fan Wenxin was the beautiful and talkative girl.
It makes others envious, but also prevents others from gossiping about it.
"Mr. Huo, please don't make your wife sad." Fan Wenxin touched Huo Yixiu's arm with a smile on her lips.
Ling Zhao's inability to speak is her lifelong pain, and it is also the point where others can easily crush her.
She can act like Mrs. Huo at home, but what can she do outside?
Fan Wenxin looked at the clothes Ling Zhao was wearing again.
The handmade horse-faced skirt and the white silk shirt embroidered with crabapple flowers are elegant, beautiful, dignified and glorious.
The Chanel-style suit she carefully selected and bought at the mall yesterday is not as good as this horse-faced skirt.
Fan Wenxin was unhappy.
Every time she picked a dress, it was not as good as Ling Zhao's.
But what about dressing nicely?
It's just a gourd without an opening.
Ling Zhao stared at Huo Yixiu's half-smiley eyes and clenched his fingers.
Eyes facing each other.
What she saw in his eyes was indifference, wanton teasing, and the ability to hurt others with words that were taken for granted without any guilt, and a superior attitude.
After a few seconds of silence, Ling Zhao loosened his fingers and smiled.
She said nothing.
The atmosphere in the car was too quiet. The man looked at her profile as she quietly watched the scenery and frowned slightly.
Why don't you speak?
Are you angry?
Doesn’t she want to be Mrs. Huo? Doesn’t she have a desire to show off?
Haha, it seems that you have listened to his warning.
The man was satisfied with Ling Zhao's quietness and folded his arms loosely.
The dinner was held at the Mandarin Hotel. Important figures from the Education Bureau attended, as well as principals from several other schools.
The old principal was wearing a neat Zhongshan suit and talking to the leaders. Every white hair on his head showed his hard work.
But as soon as Huo Yixiu showed up, those people looked over and approached him in twos and threes.
"Yi Xiu."
"Mr. Huo."
There were constant greetings and nods towards Ling Zhao.
Ling Zhao smiled at those people, nodded, shook hands, and performed all the etiquette.
But that's all.
The one who can really talk to these people is Fan Wenxin.
After a few opening remarks, Ling Zhao was pushed to the back by Fan Wenxin.
In her previous life, she would find a place to cool off at this time. She would sit in a quiet place with few people.
But now, she stood on the other side of Huo Yixiu, holding his arm, and listened quietly to what the Director of the Education Bureau said.
"…Cheating methods are becoming more and more covert and harder to detect. If we wait until the college entrance examination is over to reveal which school cheated, it will be a mess! Isn't this going to cause trouble for our education system?"
"There are also people who leak questions. Are those expert teachers really willing to do such a thing? They are all about to retire. Is it worthwhile to sacrifice the rest of their lives for a few dollars? Isn't it possible that someone is more skilled and hacks into the system to steal questions?"
Several principals nodded in agreement. A principal with dyed black hair added: "There are actually people who hacked the system and caused it to malfunction during the English listening test. This is lawless!"
Huo Yixiu smiled but said nothing. The old principal glanced at him and whispered, "Yixiu, can your company provide security protection? I heard that you provided security protection for several financial companies and never made any mistakes."
Huo Yixiu said modestly: "It's just that others praise me."
The old principal looked at the director who was looking at them, leaned his head closer to Huo Yixiu, and lowered his voice: "The director is here to make eye drops. Please arrange for someone to come and do maintenance on the old system. The director will remember your favor."
Last year, the Ministry of Education hired a technology company to upgrade its network and the entire system. Millions of dollars were spent, but still something went wrong. It can be heard that the Ministry of Education does not want to spend any more money, but also does not want to make any more mistakes.
The old principal wanted to use his last bit of energy to pave the way for his son who worked in the Education Bureau, so he let Huo Yixiu take over this unprofitable job of cleaning up other companies' messes.
Everyone present is a human spirit.
Fan Wenxin didn't know about the grudge between the old principal and the Huo family, but she was in the business world and knew everything about Huo Yixiu's company. There was no way she would agree to this.
Just as she was about to speak, Ling Zhao suddenly reached out and handed the prepared gift to the old principal.
