Charm point maxed out, inheriting game assets

In the conference room of the administrative building, all eyes fell on Zhang Qingguo.

Principal Liu Zengyin eagerly asked, ”Qingguo, how is it? Do you know him?”

Zhang Qingguo’s lips trembled, and it took him a while to speak with difficulty, ”Yes, I know him, I just... just met him yesterday.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Zengyin and the others instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

”That’s good! That’s good!” Liu Zengyin exhaled deeply, as if grasping a lifeline, ”Since you know him, things will be much easier!”

”What kind of student is he, that makes our mayor personally come by?”

”Not clear, the county committee’s message was simple, with no other content.”

Liu Zengyin patted Zhang Qingguo’s shoulder and said solemnly:

”Qingguo! What is the actual situation with this student, tell us in detail. You should have his contact information, right? No matter what means you use, we must settle this matter today! Whether the school can seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to leave a good impression in front of city leaders depends... all on you!”

The mayor wanting to meet an important alumnus, yet not being on the list of special guests, was undeniably a major oversight on their part.

Immediate remedial action is necessary!

Zhang Qingguo suddenly shivered and snapped back to reality.

Sticky cold sweat instantly rolled down from his shirt back.

A sense of incomprehensible absurdity, coupled with the fear of a huge crisis, instantly overwhelmed him completely.

He opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Just last night, he had personally decided to remove Liu Qingning and Tang Song from the guest seats, relegating them to the regular audience area.

Moreover, he used this as a reason to cancel Liu Qingning’s speech as an alumni representative.

Back then, he did so just to free up space to please Li Yunfan, who suddenly decided to attend.

But now... the unnoticeable Tang Song he had casually dismissed ended up being the ”True God” the mayor specifically wanted to meet.

If that person casually mentions him in front of the mayor tomorrow.

Then his career as vice principal is nearly over.

Seeing Zhang Qingguo still silent and in a state of shock, appearing as if the sky had fallen.

The others also sensed something was wrong.

Principal Liu Zengyin’s face suddenly became extremely solemn, ”Qingguo, what on earth is happening?!”

Zhang Qingguo took a deep breath and difficultly recounted the scene from last night in the Zhende Hotel banquet hall, along with his ”impression” of Tang Song and the subsequent decision to cancel Liu Qingning’s speech.

As an official who has been clawing his way inside the system for years, he knows very well.

Once variables at the mayor’s level enter the scene, this matter is beyond his ability to handle.

With his account, the entire office atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point.

Several school leaders looked at each other in disbelief, seeing undisguised shock in each other’s eyes.

Liu Zengyin felt dizzy, slammed the table with his right hand, and shook with anger, ”You... you... what do you want me to say about you!”

Just on the phone, Director Chen from the education bureau repeatedly emphasized ”the highest standards and utmost sincerity.”

But what do we have instead? We turned around and offended the main guest!

If not handled properly, forget leaving a good impression, their career prospects would be greatly affected.

Zhang Qingguo was sweating heavily, ”I... this really is my... lack of consideration.”

”Principal, now is not the time to blame.” Another vice principal quickly stepped forward to advise, ”The urgent priority is to quickly find a way to remedy the situation.”

”Yes, yes! Remedy!” Zhang Qingguo grasped at this like a lifeline and immediately said, ”I’ll call Liu Qingning and Tang Song now! Apologize in person!”

As he said, he hurriedly picked up the name list from the table, found Liu Qingning’s number, and immediately dialed.

Since Tang Song was merely ”brought by” Liu Qingning, the school did not retain any contact information for him or have any record of his professional information.

So now the only breakthrough point can only be Liu Qingning.

”Beep beep beep —”

The phone rang for quite a while before it was automatically disconnected, never answered.

Zhang Qingguo’s face turned pale instantly.

Seeing his utterly lost look, Principal Liu Zengyin’s face became even gloomier.

He suddenly slapped his thigh, pointed at Zhang Qingguo, and said urgently and forcefully, ”Immediately contact their homeroom teacher from back then, Teacher Li Gaisu, let her get in touch!”

Zhang Qingguo came to his senses and quickly picked up the phone again.

”Wang!” Liu Zengyin said to another vice principal, ”You go to the reception immediately, adjust the guest seating for the podium tomorrow. No matter what, you must leave the two best seats for me!”

”Certainly, Principal!”

Liu Zengyin grabbed his briefcase and phone, speaking in a deep voice, ”I’ll immediately go to the county committee to report the situation to the leaders face-to-face. This matter is too significant, it’s already beyond something the school can withstand on its own.”

As he walked, he had already dialed Director Chen from the county education bureau.

”Hello, Director Chen. There’s an urgent situation, I must report it to you immediately...”

With each call being made.

Information begins to rapidly circulate up and down along the chain of command.

The administrative system of Jing County began to operate at high speed on this ordinary weekend.
