Capítulo 37: Their Matter Might Have Blowed Up!
Editor: Henyee Translations
"This…" Annie looked at Chief Editor Yang, who was standing beside her, in surprise.
Chief Editor Yang obviously didn't expect this outcome.
He blinked. "Um, let's eat first. We'll talk after that."
One had to know that the price he offered was not low.
Although the book was indeed written very well at the beginning, who knew if it would crumble later?
Although he had the authority, the company would still pay for it even if the writing was not good. The money would be wasted.
However, there were still many words after that. It was better to be careful.
Chief Editor Yang had undergone a lot of training to be able to sit in his current position.
He felt that he should stabilize himself first.
At least, let's have a meal first?
He could not rush it. Otherwise, the other party would raise the price by who knew how much. This was obviously not a wise move for him.
Xiao Ran quickly finished typing and clicked to upload it.
He decisively turned off the computer and walked out.
He was still very confident in "Candle in the Tomb".
He could completely wait until the price was higher or he could directly discuss the copyright. That would be the time for him to maximize his benefits.
Ding Hong did not go home in the afternoon because of work. He woke up after taking a nap in the office.
It was already two o'clock when he looked at his watch. He suddenly remembered what his wife had told him last night.
He had nothing else to do at this moment. He picked up the phone and called the school.
He mainly wanted to ask about Xiao Ran's situation.
If his grades were really good and his family was really in trouble, he could at least arrange a spot for him as a poor student.
Although it was not much money to apply for a scholarship, his university tuition fees could definitely be waived.
Principal Zhu's house was quite far from school. He usually ate lunch at school, so he was sleeping soundly.
However, the landline on the table rang.
The ringing of the phone shocked him. Then, an indescribable impatience appeared on his face.
To be honest, he was woken up suddenly.
It was really a very uncomfortable thing.
He picked up the phone and said impatiently, "Who is it?"
"I'm Ding Hong. Are you Principal Zhu?" Ding Hong was direct.
Hearing this, Principal Zhu was stunned. The impatience on his face instantly turned to surprise.
Her tone became much warmer. "Ah, District Mayor Ding. Hello, I'm Little Zhu. Why did you think of calling our school?"
Ding Hong smiled. "Nothing. I just want to ask if you know that there's a child called Xiao Ran in Suiwan's class?"
Xiao Ran?
Principal Zhu narrowed his eyes.
To be honest, he really did not know.
"Can I call you back in five minutes, District Mayor Ding?"
After saying that, he was afraid that Ding Hong would misunderstand and explained enthusiastically.
"It's like this. Look, there are a total of more than 3,000 children in our school. It's actually impossible for me to understand them one by one, but I'll immediately contact their form teacher and the teachers of each class to understand this child's situation in all aspects. You can rest assured!"
Hearing this, Ding Hong nodded. "Then I'll have to trouble Principal Zhu."
"May I ask one more thing? Did this child cause trouble?"
"Not really. I just want to know more. I heard that the family's situation isn't very good."
"Alright, alright. Wait for my reply later."
"Good-bye."
"Good-bye."
With that, he hung up.
Principal Zhu didn't dare to waste any time and immediately called the form teacher's office.
The first class in the afternoon was Chinese. The form teacher, Li Aiyuan, was in class. Before she could say anything, she saw the English teacher rush in.
Li Aiyuan thought that she had misread the class schedule and looked at the English teacher in surprise.
"This class is yours?"
"Aiya, no, the principal is looking for you!" The English teacher looked anxious.
Hearing that the principal was looking for her, Li Aiyuan was even more surprised than if she had remembered the class schedule wrongly.
Why was he looking for her out of the blue?
The principal was never the kind of person who would casually talk to a teacher during class.
Besides, she did not miss work or change classes this month, and her class ranking was very stable. This was indeed a little sudden.
"Do you know what happened?"
Li Aiyuan looked at the English teacher curiously.
Hearing this, the English teacher instinctively looked at Xiao Ran.
The principal had already asked her about Xiao Ran's usual performance just now and she seriously introduced Xiao Ran to the principal.
He was looking for Teacher Li Aiyuan because of Xiao Ran.
Moreover, the principal had just said that this was specially arranged by the district mayor!
One had to know that she had seen Ding Suiwan and Xiao Ran passing the note yesterday during English class!
The district mayor called the principal's office today.
No matter how she thought about it, she felt that the district mayor must have found out that the two children had done something they shouldn't have done. That was why he called the school!
However, as a teacher, she did not say anything. She only gave Li Aiyuan a look, indicating for her to come out and talk.
Li Aiyuan was not stupid and hurriedly walked out.
When the two of them were a distance away from the classroom door, Li Aiyuan asked softly, "What exactly is it?"
"Just now, he asked me about Xiao Ran's usual performance in class. Then, he asked me to call you to the office."
After the English teacher finished speaking, she glanced at the class through the window.
This glance made everyone in the class retract their gazes.
Seeing that no one was looking over, she whispered, "Let me tell you, Ding Suiwan and Xiao Ran were passing a note in class yesterday. Today, the principal asked about Xiao Ran's situation. I keep feeling that the district mayor must know something. Don't you understand students nowadays?"
Anyway, that was all she knew. That was all she had in mind.
Hearing this, Li Aiyuan instinctively thought of Ding Suiwan reading a book yesterday morning!
She instantly felt as if she had known a huge secret.
A particularly bold idea appeared in her mind.
One had to know that the book Ding Suiwan was reading was for confinement!
Now, the English teacher said that there might be a problem between her and Xiao Ran. What did this mean?
There was an 80% chance that Ding Suiwan was pregnant!
Moreover, it was very likely that this child was Xiao Ran's!
She was shocked by her own thoughts. Even her expression darkened.
If this was true, then this matter was not a joke!
"Aiya, you can go over first anyway. Let's have English for this class first. I'll give you the next class!"
"Alright, sorry to trouble you."
After saying that, Li Aiyuan hurriedly walked towards the principal's office.
This made the students in the class look outside again.
After all, it was very surprising that the principal suddenly looked for a teacher.
Especially during class, something big must have happened. Otherwise, such a situation would not have happened.
This was the first time they saw this situation from Grade One to Grade Three!
The English teacher changed the expression on her face when she was chatting with the form teacher and walked in calmly.
She instinctively glanced at Xiao Ran, then at Ding Suiwan.
Only then did he say, "Alright, put away the Chinese books now and listen to the English words!"
Xiao Ran couldn't help but feel curious. What was going on?
It could be said to be a coincidence, but this was the second time she was looking at him.
