The two police officers discussed among themselves silently. Ye Jian rushed to the supermarket in front and called Principal Chen. “Uncle Chen, I don’t think I can study in high school anymore. Ye Zhifan has networks in Municipal No.1 Middle School. There’s something wrong with the registration.”
“Tell me the details.” Today was the first day of school for Fujun Town too. Principal Chen was busy but when he received Ye Jian’s call, he stopped what he was doing. “Don’t be agitated. Tell me slowly.”
Ye Jian told him about her guesses. She smiled when she finished. “No wonder Ye Zhifan warned me this morning. He was waiting for me here.”
Interacting with the leaders of the municipal and fiddling with her school application on her first day of school. He was not bad.
“His reach is long. Jian, continue the registration and find out what happened. Find out what they want. I’ll call the Municipal No.1 Middle School and settle your registration first.” Principal Chen didn’t know that Ye Jian was considering not studying at Municipal No.1 Middle School now. Hence, he took out his phonebook and started looking for the principal of Municipal No.1 Middle School.
Ye Jian hesitated for a moment. She pursed her lips and said, “Uncle Chen, since Ye Zhifan doesn’t want me to have a smooth time studying, I shall not let him have a good time too. Don’t call the principal of Municipal No.1 Middle School. If they allowed for this to happen, your call will be useless.”
“Are you sure?” Principal Chen always respected Ye Jian’s decision. He said in a low voice, “If you miss this registration, you might not be able to study in high school this year.”
He wanted Ye Jian to consider her decision again. Instead, a thought flashed passed Ye Jian’s mind when she heard this. Her eyes lit up. “If I don’t study this year and retake the examination… and enter the second year in high school directly, what do you think?”
There was silence on the other end of the phone. Principal Chen remained silent three minutes before laughing loudly. “Jian, you’ll definitely become the elite among the elites next time.”
“I’ve no opinion regarding this. If you think that you have the ability to train and complete your high school studies at the same time, you can skip two years of school too.”
Ye Jian smiled when she heard the loud and gentle laughter. With a senior like Uncle Chen supporting her, she had the right to make stubborn decisions.
After smiling, she turned serious. Her voice was soft but firm. “I’ll be better than them after one year. I will!” One year away from school was not a difficult thing for her.
“Don’t call them first. I’ll confirm everything on my side and call you again. I need to let someone know that the things he does can’t threaten me.” With someone on her side, Ye Jian sounded more relaxed. “He thinks that he can threaten me using my studies? In his dreams.”
She was referring to Ye Zhifan.
She hung up and went back to the small shop. This time, she saw a man that looked like a dean of the school in a shirt and a tie with a pair of spectacles on his face. It was so hot but he still wore his tie. The middle-aged man stood under the shade of a tree and was looking around.
