After thinking for a long time, the two of them could not think of any good ideas to help the situation.

“Let’s not just stay here and be anxious. Let’s go find Sister Su,” Song Jia said.

“Let’s go.”

The two of them stood up together and went to Sugar’s office.

In front of Sugar’s desk were two empty bottles of his Mrs. Oral Liquid. At the same time, she was holding her cell phone and killing time in her mobile game.

With a 1-8-1 record, Sugar was at the bottom of the leaderboards.

“Can you knock on the door before you come in? You scared me to death,” Sugar said.

Both of them knew about Suger’s internet addiction, so they were not surprised.

“Sister Su, stop playing around. Lin Yi has been gone for a long time. Go and plead for him.”

“I’ve thought it through just now,” Sugar said

“There’s no point in pleading for him. We can only wait for Lin Yi to come back and see how things turn out. Then, we can call Principal Zhao and plead him on Lin Yi’s behalf. We’ll see if there’s any room for reconciliation.”

“Principal Zhao, you’re here.”

Just as the three of them were talking, Li Xingbang’s voice sounded from outside.

Sugar was stunned. Out of the three principals, only the first principal’s surname was Zhao.

Moreover, Principal Zhao Qi had always been a very busy person. Unless it was a school meeting, they rarely saw him.

Why did he come to visit the league committee today?

Sugar put down his phone and left the game before walking out with Song Jia and Shi Li.

When the three of them came out, they were surprised to see Lin Yi next to Zhao Qi.

Didn’t Lin Yi go to Vice-Principal Li’s office? Why did he come back with the principal?

“Don’t be nervous. I met Teacher Lin while walking around, so I came with him to take a look around,” Zhao Qi said with a smile.

Sugar let out a sigh of relief. He thought that something had happened to the school committee.

“Welcome, Principal Zhao, please feel free to offer guidance to the committee,” Sugar said politely.

Zhao Qi waved his hand. “I’m not here to guide you. I have something else to say.”

Suger and the others stood in their original positions obediently, waiting for Zhao Qi to speak.

“I’ve removed Li Detian and Fu Jiajun from their positions. Make a public announcement later to inform the other faculty members of the school.”

“What?!”

“President Li and Fu Jiajun have been removed from their positions!”

Everyone’s jaws dropped when they heard that.

“That’s right. During their tenure, the two of them committed serious abuse of power, corruption, and academic fraud. Black sheep like them cannot stay in the university.”

Suger was so confused that she lost her ability to think.

Was it not Lin Yi who was supposed to be fired? Why were Li Detian and Fu Jiajun the ones who were fired in the end?

What did Lin Yi do to bring these two down?

“Yes, yes, Principal Zhao. I’ll announce it now.”

“Apart from that, given Lin’s outstanding performance during his admission, it’s a waste of talent to keep him as a member of the school’s committee.”

Sugar’s heart skipped a beat. “Principal Zhao, what do you mean?”

“I’ll leave the position of vice-principal to Teacher Lin. The two of you will be in the same office, so it’ll be more convenient for you to start your work together in the future.”

“Lin Yi will be the vice-principal?”

Sugar and the others in the office could not believe their ears.

They had only been here for a few days, and he was already being made the vice-principal?

First, they fired Li Detian and Fu Jiajun, and now they wanted to promote him to vice-principal.

Did the two of you make some shady deal?

“That’s right,” Zhao Qi said, “Go and arrange this matter.”

“Got it, got it.”

After finishing off the official business, Zhao Qi left with his hands behind his back, leaving behind many confused faces.

“Little Lin, what exactly happened? By right, you should be the one who was fired. Why were Li Detian and Fu Jiajun the casualties?” Li Xingbang asked curiously.

“Li Bro, you sound like you want me to leave.”

“No, no, no, I didn’t mean that. I’m just a little curious.”

“There’s nothing to be curious about.” Lin Yi said. “Principal Zhao saw everything and cleared my name. It’s as simple as that.”

“I see.” Li Xingbang laughed. “Then I won’t be able to call you Lin from now on. I’ll have to call you Principal Lin.”

“Li Bro, don’t make fun of me. Master Lin sounds good to me. I’m not as high-strung as others, so you don’t have to call me principal.”

Sugar’s face was dark. What did he mean?

Was he calling me high-strung?

Even so, Sugar did not want to pursue these matters anymore.

He was going to share an office with her in the future. What should she do?

How could she still play games in secret?

God damn it!

It was noon when Lin Yi returned to the Jiuzhou Pavilion and drove out the newly bought Koenigsegg.

It was not appropriate for him to use the Shari to attend Ji Qingyan’s press conferencein the afternoon.

After changing cars, Lin Yi went to the Peninsula Hotel and had a simple lunch before taking a nap. He was waiting for the press conference to start in the afternoon.

At this time, Tianlong Wang called all the hotel executives to his office and said with a serious expression, “Boss, I’m sorry, but I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“I’ve already told you about today’s press conference. The president of Chaoyang Group is our boss’s lover, so tell everyone to pretend that they don’t know the boss. If you impede the boss from picking up girls, then you’d better pack up and leave!”

“Got it, Manager Wang!”

With that, the hotel executives left the meeting room one after another, preparing to pass on the contents of the meeting.

The focus today was on the boss picking up girls, and everything else was secondary.

Ring, Ring, Ring…

Lin Yi, who was sleeping, suddenly heard his phone ring. He picked it up and saw that it was from Ji Qingyan.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Yi asked in a daze.

“Why are you still sleeping? The press conference will start in about ten minutes,” Ji Qingyan complained.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be there soon.”

“I’m just saying. Try not to be too late. Drive carefully and be safe.”

“I won’t be late, I’ll be there in two minutes.”

Lin Yi walked out of the presidential suite and headed toward the elevator as he said this.

“All you know is how to brag. You think you’re superman? How are you going to be here in two minutes?” Ji Qingyan said with a smile.

“It’s more than twenty kilometres from the Jiuzhou Pavilion to the Peninsula Hotel. Even if you’re Superman, you won’t be able to get here so quickly.”

“What if I can?”

“Tsk, if you can get here in two minutes, I’ll let you have a taste of my mango-flavoured lipstick.” Ji Qingyan said playfully.

Lin Yi had taken advantage of her in the past because of his dumb luck.

However, he would not able to do it this time. Lin Yi could not fly, so how could he arrive here in two minutes?

Isaac Newton would be rolling in his grave.

“Turn around,” Lin Yi said with a smile.
