298 Removing the Target
Zhang Bo was welcomed by them as they walked to the meeting room of Jingyuan High School. There, Zhang Bo would sign the contract and officially become one of the board members of Jingyuan High School. However, before that, no one would have known Zhang Bo’s true identity. Chu Ning had already made up a reasonable identity for him.
With Lin Lang and the other shareholders as his witnesses, Zhang Bo signed the meaningful contract.
“Congratulations, Manager Zhang, for officially joining the Board of Directors of Jingyuan High School. Let’s give him a round of applause!” Lin Lang took the lead in clapping after he finished speaking. The entire conference room burst into a warm round of applause. Among them, Director Ma, who had taken the lead in targeting Chu Ning, clapped especially hard.
Zhang Bo smiled as he took the microphone and gave a simple speech. His smile was not fake. Zhang Bo really wanted to laugh as he looked at the scene before him. Suddenly, he felt ridiculous, as if the veil covering his face had been pulled off.
“I wonder what this Director Ma will think when I reveal my true intentions.” Zhang Bo thought to himself as he looked at Director Ma’s bright smile.
He knew that Director Ma and three other directors were targeting Chu Ning.
“Manager Zhang, you can take a good look around Jingyuan High. The principal will show you around. I have other things to do, so I’ll take my leave,” Lin Lang said, looking around in satisfaction.
“You’d better walk faster. Your presence here will limit my performance.” Zhang Bo thought, but he said, “Director Lin, you’re too polite. It’s fine. I can just look around myself.”
“Cao Bo, you must serve Manager Zhang well. I’ll take my leave first.” Lin Lang left the meeting room after speaking.
“Apart from the annual dividends, do the directors also participate in the management of the school?” After Lin Lang left, Zhang Bo looked at the people in the meeting room and suddenly said.
“Manager Zhang, you’re interested in school management?” Principal Cao Bo asked somewhat doubtfully.
“No, Director Ma, I heard that you had some conflict with a student called Chu Ning?” Zhang Bo suddenly looked at Ma and said.
“What?” Director Ma looked at Zhang Bo in shock. He didn’t understand what he meant by suddenly saying that.
“Well, it’s not really a conflict. Manager Zhang might have heard some negative news about our school. This is normal. Jingyuan High School is quite famous in M City. When there are many competitors, it’s natural for people to defame and spread rumors.” Director Ma said with a smile.
“No, I don’t care about that. It’s best if there isn’t. I don’t think that someone of Director Ma’s status would personally go against a student. But I don’t want such a thing to happen in the school subsequently, or it’ll be something I won’t be able to accept. I believe Director Lin will give me a satisfactory explanation,” Zhang Bo said calmly.
Director Ma’s face turned gloomy after hearing Zhang Bo’s words, but it quickly disappeared. The other three directors beside him were also deep in thought. It was obvious that it was not wise to offend Zhang Bo, the new director, because of Chu Ning.
Even though Yang Feng had given them some benefits, it was nothing compared to the annual dividends of Jingyuan High School.
Director Ma could tell that Zhang Bo was protecting Chu Ning and warning him, so he smiled bitterly.”What are you saying, Manager Zhang? Why would I make things difficult for my own?”
“Very good, Director Ma is a sensible person.” Zhang Bo smiled noncomittally.
Cao Bo, who had been watching the scene from the side, felt inexplicably at ease. Only someone like Zhang Bo, who was on the same level as Director Ma, would have any say in this. He was merely a principal in name.
Chu Ning watched as the car with Lin Lang left the campus. She knew that she could go to the classroom.
Chu Ning clasped her hands behind her back and breathed in the fresh air. She entered Jingyuan High School once more. Her identity had changed, and so had her mentality.
Chu Ning didn’t go straight to the classroom, but appeared at the door of Lin Hao’s office. Lin Hao didn’t have any classes in the morning. Chu Ning knocked on the door.
“Please come in.” Lin Hao’s familiar voice could be heard.
“Mr. Lin, what’s on your mind? It’s not a good habit to smoke so much.” After Chu Ning walked in, she helped Lin Hao open the office window. The smell of smoke was too strong.
“Huh? Chu Ning, why are you back so soon?” Lin Hao stubbed out the burning cigarette between his fingers and said in surprise.
