On Thanksgiving Day, Ai ShuQiao visited QingZi High School as promised, but she was much more low-key than I expected. She declined Principal He's invitation to speak in the school's hall, and hoped that there wouldn't be a crowd involved, and only a student representative would bring her around the school.
I was not far away when she made this request. Principal He Qimei saw me looking at Ai ShuQiao with extreme disdain and felt awkward.
Ai ShuQiao and I are mother and son, so it's reasonable for me to show her around. Unfortunately, it's no secret that we don't get along.
"Um, how about letting Miss Ai Mi show you around the campus?" Principal He settled for the next best thing.
Ai ShuQiao, who was dressed like a successful businesswoman, slightly frowned and smiled bitterly: "My daughter doesn't usually go to school, how would she be familiar with the campus? How about I ask someone to show me around? "
"Who do you want?" Principal He was very concerned about this person. Ai ShuQiao has donated a lot of money to Qing Zi High School ever since Ai Mi entered the school, so Principal He didn't want to offend the god of wealth.
Ai ShuQiao's gaze swept towards my position, "My daughter and son are both in the second year (3) class, right? I heard their class leader, Shu Sha, is very capable and has a good relationship with my children. How about letting Shu Sha show me around the campus? "
Principal He breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he heard Shu Sha's name — — Shu Sha is very experienced in dealing with people. She has dealt with who knows how many inspection teams from the education committee, so there definitely won't be any big mistakes.
Thus Principal He quickly called Shu Sha over and whispered a few words to her, probably to tell her not to say anything that would make Ai ShuQiao angry.
The originally planned grand welcome party was canceled and all the students were sent back to their dorms to study. Since they didn't have to go to class in the morning, most of them were very happy.
"Ye Lin's mom is pretty good! I slept too late last night, so I can go back and catch up on my sleep! "
"It would be great if other leaders didn't like to speak in public like Ye Lin's mom! By the way, his mom is pretty, no wonder she's Ai Mi's mom! But why does Ye Lin look so fierce? "
"Shhh — — Ye Lin is the son of his mom and her ex-husband. His dad also teaches physics at our school!"
"Are you talking about Teacher Ye YuanFeng? My brother went to his class before and felt that it was quite good. Speaking of which, Teacher Ye doesn't look fierce. Could it be that Ye Lin was picked up from somewhere? "
Ai ShuQiao understood the psychology of the students. Not only did she tell everyone not to go to class in the morning, she also persuaded Principal He to take the afternoon off as well. She let the students of Qing Zi High School graze their goats on Thanksgiving, a non-legal holiday.
The students didn't have any concept of Ai ShuQiao before, they only knew she was Ai Mi and my mother. Also, our new gym was built by Ai ShuQiao and there was even a monument in the school to commend Ai ShuQiao's' good deeds'.
Since it was Ai ShuQiao's first visit to Qing Zi High School, she gave everyone a holiday as a gift. Naturally, most of the students had a good impression of her, except for the top student in our class, Good White.
"What's wrong with this woman? There were supposed to be math and English quizzes in the afternoon! I've been waiting for this for a long time!! "
Today's temperature was decent and Ai ShuQiao seemed to be in the mood to tour outdoors. In order to not disturb Ai ShuQiao's route, Principal He specifically told everyone to stay indoors.
I was worried about letting the class leader accompany Ai ShuQiao on a tour alone, so I reluctantly followed them. Ai ShuQiao's four bodyguards were secretly protecting them from a distance, so unrelated people couldn't enter the circle.
There were a lot of trees in Qing Zi High School. During this season, the leaves were all withering. From time to time, fiery red maple leaves would slowly fall in front of us, embellishing the lonely atmosphere of the empty campus.
The class leader and I were both wearing school uniforms. I was dissatisfied and stuck my hands in my pockets. On the other hand, no matter who she was facing, the class leader would always raise her head and puff out her chest. She had a valiant aura and an aura that was neither servile nor overbearing.
Of course, when the flame-like maple leaves fell from her jet-black hair, her tall and straight figure also exuded an inviolable beauty.
"The school covers an area of 438 mu, a third of the area is green, and the air quality is much better than the city center …"
The class leader introduced the school to Ai ShuQiao in a calm tone as we walked past the plastic-covered sports field.
"On both sides of the outdoor sports field is the gymnasium and sports club building. This gymnasium received your selfless donation, so I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of Principal He …"
According to common sense, the class leader should say "I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of Principal He and all the teachers and students", but since I was present, the class leader knew I would never be included in the 'all the teachers and students' thanking Ai ShuQiao, so she purposely only mentioned Principal He.
"Shu Sha, your figure is pretty good."
Ai ShuQiao purposely lagged behind while walking and let Shu Sha lead the way. She suddenly spoke after sizing up Shu Sha's body for a long time.
Shu Sha's face turned red and her footsteps clearly slowed down.
"Ms. Ai ShuQiao, please don't joke with me, I'm only your guide today …"
"Why are you treating me like an outsider?" Ai ShuQiao revealed a warm smile that belonged to an amiable elder. She lightly patted Shu Sha's shoulder, "You're so familiar with my son and daughter, you can just call me auntie."
"I'm sorry." Shu Sha hesitated for a moment, then she firmly refused, "I'm only familiar with Ye Lin and Ai Mi, I'm not that familiar with you."
Ai ShuQiao was rebuffed, but she did not immediately show an offended expression. Instead, she nodded and said: "Good, you're a woman with your own opinions and you don't go with the flow. You're a bit like me when I was younger …"
"The class leader isn't like you." I angrily interrupted her, "How can you compare an angel and a demon?"
"Aiyaya." Ai ShuQiao shook her head with a smile, "Comparing your mother to a demon and your girlfriend to an angel, it's like the old saying: forget your mother when you have a bride …"
"I don't recognize you as my mother."
"I'm not Ye Lin's girlfriend."
The class leader and I blurted out at the same time.
Ai ShuQiao stopped in the middle of the maple forest. The class leader and I also stopped at the same time and the three of us stood in a triangular formation.
The successful businesswoman looked at the red faced class leader with a playful gaze.
"It's easy to guess the feelings of young people. You and my son are attracted to each other, you're just missing someone to make it clear … I actually like you a lot, I think you'll be a good wife to my son."
"Wha, what?" Ai ShuQiao's quick turn caught the class leader off guard.
"What's so hard to understand?" Ai ShuQiao raised her left palm as she spoke and made a very infectious gesture. She refused to give a speech in the auditorium today because she wasn't interested. As someone running for governor of California, her eloquence was out of the ordinary.
"I've investigated the girls around Ye Lin and I still think you're the most suitable. Wait, don't be in a rush to ask questions, let me finish. "
"One day, I'll hand over the business empire I created to Ye Lin and Ai Mi. My kids aren't stupid, but they both have the shortcoming of being impulsive. Shu Sha, I would be very pleased if you could help manage the company as Ye Lin's wife in the future. "
"Why, why do I have to …" The class leader who was standing next to me and Ai ShuQiao was not mentally prepared and her face turned redder than a maple leaf.
"I know your future ambition is to become a criminal police officer." Ai ShuQiao continued unhurriedly, "In your eyes, my business empire might be dirty and contains original sin … but are there any completely innocent people or organizations in this world? Would it bring better order if you destroy everything in order to carry out absolute justice? "
"Different crimes have to be fought with different strength." The class leader replied after she calmed down a bit, "Indiscriminate punishment will only bring chaos. I admire absolute justice, but I won't unrealistically carry it out in reality. After I became a criminal police …"
"Have you heard the story of 'One Thousand and One Nights'?" Ai ShuQiao interrupted the class leader, "On an ancient Arabian island, there was a king who was cuckolded by the queen. After killing the queen, he still hated women, so he would marry a girl every night and kill her the next morning. Later on, the prime minister's daughter, Shamuzod, voluntarily married the king in order to save thousands of girls. She would tell the king stories every day, but she would shut up every time she reached the climax, so the king couldn't bear to kill her. When she told the 1001st story, the king was finally moved. From then on, the king treated his citizens well and lived together with Shamuzod … "
After she finished telling the story with a smile, Ai ShuQiao's gaze suddenly turned cold and she looked at the class leader as if she was challenging her.
"Shu Sha, tell me, is Shamuzod's behavior praiseworthy or just pedantic? If you were in her position, would you lead everyone in a revolution and overthrow the cruel king at the cost of more bloodshed? "
This was indeed a difficult question to answer. From the point of view of modern people, in order to take revenge on the queen, the king raped and killed more than a thousand girls within three years. The word "beast" could no longer be used to describe him. However, such a tyrant could still die a good death. God was truly blind. Countless bachelors who celebrated Singles' Day in the future wished they could eat his flesh and sleep with his skin.
However, under the relatively backward conditions of production in ancient times, the amount of time and lives needed to rebuild the existing social structure was far greater than that of the thousand young girls. Therefore, the modern people criticized Shamuzid for being a hypocrite. In her position, Shamuzid made the choice with the least cost. She and the thousand young girls became sacrifices for the stability of society.
The class leader naturally understood the logic I could understand. She did not fall into Ai ShuQiao's trap and directly answer the question. Instead, she pointed out:
"It's impossible for me to travel back to ancient times with a modern mindset. I'm not Shamuzod and I can't tell stories."
I couldn't help but think about it. If the class leader was a resident of that ancient Arabian island, she would probably stab the tyrant with her bow and arrow to end the misfortune that shrouded her female compatriots.
"Tyrant, take my arrow! Move your ugly body away from Shan Lu CaiCai's body! "
"Ah!!!" The king finally paid the price for his barbaric actions.
Ai ShuQiao, who was unaware of my thoughts, began to walk forward again. She waved at me and the class leader to follow.
"Shu Sha, I believe Ye Lin would love to listen to your pillow stories. I'll tell you why managing a company is more beneficial than being a criminal police officer."
