Chapter 32: A Man Appearing Out of the Blue

Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee

Xiao Sa hung up the call, looked up at Ms. Cao and said, “If you still want to find a job in the future, submit your resignation now.”

Ms. Cao hurriedly thanked him and said, “Okay, okay, I will write a resignation letter now.”

Just as Xiao Sa was about to nod, a man came in from outside, asking, “What happened?”

Cursing in his mind, Xiao Sa looked at the man and sneered. “Hey, President Liu, what brings you here?”

Tang Xi raised her head quietly. She felt like she had seen this person before. He was Liu Chengyu, Xiao Jinning’s fiance... who was supposed to be Xiao Rou’s fiance... Why had he come here?

Was he also a trustee of this school?

She didn’t expect this small school to have had so many trustees, and she suddenly felt that Empire High School was so good because it was affiliated to Empire Group.

However, Empire High School was not affordable for ordinary students. Even Xiao Hongyi’s children might not be able to enter Empire High School, whose admission requirements were terribly high.

Tang Xi was wondering whether she should just transfer to Empire High School, but she immediately gave up the idea when she saw Xiao Sa’s back.

Liu Chengyu didn’t notice Tang Xi behind Xiao Sa. Taking a look at Ms. Cao who was almost crying, he frowned, stared at Xiao Sa and sneered. “Did our school’s teacher offend President Xiao?”

Xiao Sa raised his eyebrows and stared back at Liu Chengyu. “Yes. Did your fiance ask you to come here?”

Liu Chengyu frowned. “Does this have anything to do with Jinning?”

Xiao Sa raised an eyebrow. “Well, this teacher rubbed me the wrong way, so I asked her to resign. You have problem with that?”

“You should at least give me a reason,” Liu Chengyu took a step closer and said sullenly. “President Xiao, you are neither a director nor a trustee of our school. I’m afraid it’s not proper for you to interfere in our school’s affairs.”

Tang Xi widened her eyes in astonishment, and the teachers were also stunned. He was not a trustee of the school? They remembered that the principal used to say the major shareholder of their school was Mr. Xiao, and the Xiao Family was a very powerful family in City A. Wasn’t that ‘Mr. Xiao’ from Xiao Hongli’s family? So it turned out that Xiao Sa was not a trustee of the school?

Xiao Sa turned to look at Tang Xi and winked at her. He then threw his cell phone to her and gestured at her to call Xiao Jing. Tang Xi suddenly remembered that Xiao Jing said he was a shareholder of this school while he was arguing with Xiao Sa yesterday—it turned out that she had misremembered.

Spotting Tang Xi, Liu Chengyu stepped forward, trying to see Tang Xi clearly, but Xiao Sa shielded Tang Xi behind him and didn’t allow him to do so. “President Liu, why do you speak like this? My brother can’t come here because he has something to attend to, and as his brother, I have the right to act on his behalf.”

“Humph, I wonder whether Xiao Jing will agree with what you said if he finds out that his brother ran amok in the school in his name.” Liu Chengyu’s voice was full of disdain. Among the Xiao brothers, Xiao Yao fooled around all day long but no one knew what he was busy with; Xiao Sa was said to have established a game company, but no one knew what kind of company it was. In Liu Chengyu’s opinion, Xiao Jing was better than his brothers, following Qiao Liang as his sidekick, and it was said that he had also invested in a school and served as its trustee.

Liu Chengyu seemingly wanted to be friendly with Xiao Hongli’s family, but he actually greatly looked down on Xiao Yao and Xiao Sa.

Tang Xi didn’t know what Liu Chengyu was currently thinking. If she knew his thoughts, however, she would probably punch him in the face. How dare he look down on her brothers!

While she didn’t know much about Xiao Sa, on that day in the restaurant, Xiao Sa had answered her in fluent French, which showed that he had good linguistic attainments, and in her mind, a man who could speak several languages was definitely not a simple person.

The Xiao brothers should never be belittled.

“Today, if you don’t give a good reason, you can’t fire anyone here...”

“Jing...” Tang Xi’s sweet yet aggrieved voice suddenly interrupted Liu Chengyu’s words. She pouted with the mobile phone in hand, squatted behind Xiao Sa and said tenderly, “Jing... it’s me...”

Upon hearing her voice, Liu Chengyu felt as if a small hand was softly scratching his heart. His Adam’s apple bobbed in his throat and he took a step forward to see what Tang Xi looked like.

Unfortunately, Tang Xi was facing away from him. He could only see Tang Xi’s snow-white neck, slender white arms and lush, pitch-black hair. Noticing his eager eyes, Xiao Sa immediately stepped forward and blocked his line of sight. “What are you looking at? Liu Chengyu, didn’t you ask me to call Xiao Jing over here? Just you wait!”

Xiao Jing had been discussing with Qiao Liang about his planned journey to the islands near the Pacific Ocean in Qiao Liang’s office when the phone rang. Seeing it was from Xiao Sa, he picked it up only to hear Tang Xi’s aggrieved voice, following which he lunged to his feet and, ignoring Qiao Liang’s surprised eyes, asked tenderly, “What’s the matter? Did Sa bully you?”

Tang Xi had just been pretending to cry, but as soon as she heard Xiao Jing’s concerned voice, she suddenly lost control of herself. It felt really good to be cared about by others! She sniffed and shook her head. “No, I was bullied at school. Sa came here to help me, but he was stopped by a man called...” Tang Xi looked up at Xiao Sa...

Xiao Sa knew what she meant and told her Liu Chengyu’s name.

Tang Xi nodded and continued, “He was stopped by a man named Liu Chengyu, who said that you would be angry if you knew Sa fired any teacher of the school in your name.”

“F*ck!” Xiao Jing’s eyes were filled with anger. “You were bullied at school? By a teacher, right?”

Xiao Sa took the phone from Tang Xi and said coldly, “This teacher insulted Rourou because of Xiao Jinning. She even slandered her. Come here at once. Right now Liu Chengyu is stopping me from firing her. Sh*t, what a shame!”

Liu Chengyu snorted and looked down at Tang Xi who was squatting on the ground before turning his eyes to Xiao Sa, sneering. “Jinning is not here. Why are you trying to splash dirty water on her? It’s not a big deal to fire a teacher, but you insulted my fiance, so I won’t let you get away with it easily! While Xiao Jing is also a trustee of this school, the ratio of the shares he holds is lower than mine. In this school, I have the final say!”

Tang Xi immediately asked 008 how many shares Xiao Jing held in this school, and how many Liu Chengyu held.

[System: Xiao Jing owns 30% of the shares, and Liu Chengyu owns 35%.]
