"Everything has been properly arranged, right?" Headmistress Du asked the deputy headmaster, who nodded in a hurry.
He looked at Mo Qiang and Mo Xifeng, who were standing not far from them and reading the information about the top scorers in the hall of fame. Deputy Headmaster Ma turned to look at Headmistress Du before saying to her, "I have arranged for everything; there is no way that anything would go wrong. The students have been warned and even if they were to get entangled with some mess, they will not do it in front of the guests."
It wasn't that Headmistress Du or Deputy Headmaster Ma didn't know that there was a sudden rise in the campus bullying incident but this was something that often happened and was simply unavoidable when students from low- and high-ranking official families came to attend the classes.
They couldn't offend those children whose mothers or fathers were rich or held an official position. Even if they were to pay attention to such small matters, it was impossible for them to make a change. The families of these kids would simply pay bribes to the police officers and suppress the matter.
The students who were punished would return to the academy with full glory as the matter was already suppressed.
In the end, the one who would suffer would be their academy, as the funding would be reduced and on top of that, the reputation of the academy would suffer as well. It would be double the loss!
Thus, it was better to keep such matters under wraps. As long as no one died, neither Headmistress Du nor Deputy Headmaster Ma wanted to deal with this matter. They left the students from the low-ranking official families to their own devices and after a few years of ignoring these students, they two started to feel condescension towards these students. Who asked their families to be poor and not powerful? If they had power or money, then wouldn't the academy support them as long as they donated a building or two?
But they were simply useless and the ones who were even more useless were the ones who came to the academy through scholarships. They did not return anything to the academy and only used the resources. So what if they were talented and brought glory to the academy?
Did they pay the exorbitant fees? Did they bring any resources to the academy?
No!
They were poor and useless, who couldn't do anything for the academy. Since that was the case, what was the point of supporting such students?
These students were so tactless that they didn't even bring gifts for them. Unlike those who were rich, as long as these kids made a 'mistake,' they would bring a gift for them. Compared to the students who only knew how to study, these students would rise higher because they knew how to handle social relationships.
When Headmistress Du heard that everything had been arranged, she heaved a sigh of relief. She did not wish to create trouble for herself; what was more, Mo Xifeng already held some grudges against her. If that woman got hold of such a handle on her, Mo Xifeng would definitely not let her off easily.
She turned to look at Deputy Headmaster Ma and then sternly said to him, "You need to make sure that the students do not do anything that will bring harm to us. I am telling you that if these two women got even the slightest whiff of trouble, then we can forget about living a good life, understand?"
