“Did you hear that? There seems to be the sound of a police car outside.” Song Gui looked at Chu Ning as he spoke. He felt that it should be related to Chu Ning.
“Has anyone in our school broken the law? But nothing seems to have happened in school recently,” Xiaomi asked curiously.
She knew about the school gossips, but what was with the sirens outside the cafeteria?
“Why are you all looking at me? Let’s eat.” Everyone’s eyes were focused on Chu Ning, and she felt a little awkward.
“This matter should be related to you, right? Could it be… You want to arrest Yu Yan too?” Xiaomi looked at Yu Yan, who was not far away, and asked in a low voice.
“I don’t think anyone in our school would want to mess with Chu Ning ever since Ye Ting transferred,” another student analyzed objectively.
“Then why is there a police car outside? It can’t be that they’re here to eat, right?” Xiaomi was even more baffled.
“Everyone has desires, but the ability to realize their desires will never be able to match up to the greed they feel. There is an eternal distance,” Chu Ning said softly after finishing the food in her bowl.
Elsewhere, the manager was already sitting on the sofa, his face ashen.
The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the office door. The manager knew that the matter had been exposed.
His two subordinates had never thought of cooperating with him.
“Why?” the manager asked bitterly, looking at the two people sitting leisurely before him.
“Don’t you like money? Isn’t it good enough that we don’t take a single cent?” Xia Fei smiled.
He crossed his legs and was exceptionally arrogant, as if he was a completely different person from before.
“If you want to harm President Chu outside, although the chances are not great, there is always a chance. But this is Jingyuan High School. If you want to drug her, you must be over-confident because you’re blinded with the thought of money. Or you’re treating President Chu like a fool. I’m more inclined to believe the former.” The fat chef looked at the manager’s distracted look and felt extremely at ease.
Hearing the conversation between the two of them, the manager opened his mouth and wanted to defend himself, but at this time, the knocking on the door made his heart plunge.
Half an hour later, the police car drove away.
Chu Ning returned to the classroom, but she didn’t take a break.
Ye Zhen’s wiliness was within her expectations.
Or rather, this was just a test from Ye Zhen.
Success was of course a good thing, but even if he failed, it would not affect him.
Before Ye Zhen did this, he had already thought of a way out. The manager naturally became the scapegoat.
If Xia Fei and the fat chef had accepted the money sent by the manager, there would have been two more people arrested that day, but Chu Ning had given the duo a chance to choose again the night before the plan was to be implemented.
As for why she didn’t bring the manager along, the first reason was that Chu Ning needed to use this method to convey a message — she was no longer the Chu Ning with kind intentions from before.
If Ye Zhen had not made advanced preparations, she would not have minded sending Ye Zhen and Cheng Yi to prison as well.
The second reason was that this canteen manager had a grudge against Chu Ning. He would be a scourge sooner or later.
“This is getting more and more interesting.” Chu Ning closed her eyes and massaged her temples as she muttered to herself.
The number of people in The Parade increased day by day, and they stayed for longer and longer periods. This was positive feedback.
Ever since Jiang Chuan and the others came to confirm the rent with Chu Ning the previous night, the merchants who came to discuss business with Chu Ning that day surrounded Chu Ning’s office and waited.
After Jiang Chuan and the others went back, although they did not want to tell their peers about the good news, they could not hide how pleased they felt. It was written all over their faces. Moreover, there was a celebration party waiting for them. After a few glasses of wine, the tipsy Jiang Chuan and gang spilled everything.
Of course, they also thought Chu Ning was a good person with principles.
After school, Chu Ning went straight to The Parade, but she rushed there not to receive these merchants.
From afar, she could see a group of people surrounding her office. There were at least a few dozen of them.
Chu Ning had expected something like this to happen. Under her special instructions, the security guards stopped these enthusiastic merchants and even arranged for seats for them. However, these people could not sit still at all and insisted on standing at the door of Chu Ning’s office.
