Chapter 1001: Chapter 1001 Leave of Absence
He wasn’t familiar with Wu Hui, and didn’t trust her, so naturally, he couldn’t really let her investigate this matter.
It would be better for him to look into it himself.
"Director Wen is very busy, so I’ll handle this," Wu Hui was quite eager to investigate this matter. After all, when it comes to the outcome, it would be her call.
"Not necessary, I’m pretty free lately and can look into this," Director Wen directly refused.
Wu Hui’s expression soured upon hearing this.
Principal Luo remained silent for a moment before speaking again, "There is something else I need you to do, let Wu Hui investigate this instead."
This was directed towards Director Wen.
"No worries, I can..."
Before Director Wen could finish, Principal Luo interrupted, "You need to travel out of town for work, you won’t have the time."
Director Wen heard this and fell silent.
"Alright."
He begrudgingly responded, glancing silently at the watch on his wrist.
Why isn’t it here yet?
Principal Luo raised his eyes, looking coldly at Gu Zhiqi, "Gu Zhiqi, is this satisfactory?"
Gu Zhiqi replied, "The results aren’t out yet, naturally I can’t say if I’m satisfied or unsatisfied."
Principal Luo sneered, "I hope the outcome will satisfy you, Gu Zhiqi."
The matter seemed to be temporarily settled. Gu Zhiqi was too lazy to continue, and said lazily, "Is there anything else? If not, I’ll leave first."
Wu Hui looked at her with disdain, "Indeed, you have the blood of a country bumpkin, no respect for anyone."
Director Wen frowned at this, "Teacher Wu, watch your language."
Gu Zhiqi, however, ignored Wu Hui and turned to Teacher Mo, "Teacher Mo, I need to talk to you, can we go out and discuss?"
Teacher Mo immediately nodded, "Of course."
With that, they left the office together.
"Gu Zhiqi, you don’t need to worry, I’ll have someone keep an eye on Wu Hui, and not let her..."
Gu Zhiqi: "I’m not worried."
Teacher Mo: ?
"I have a question," Gu Zhiqi said, slightly turning to look at Teacher Mo.
"Go ahead."
"Does what you said before still count?"
Teacher Mo: ?
What words?
He said so many things, how would he know which sentence she referred to?
Gu Zhiqi noticed Teacher Mo’s confusion, and said, "Earlier, you mentioned if I got full marks in all subjects, you wouldn’t ask for reasons and directly approve my leave."
Teacher Mo: ???
He said that.
Why is this being brought up now?
"Leave," Gu Zhiqi said, taking the leave request from her pocket and handing it to Teacher Mo.
This time, Teacher Mo got wise and checked the date.
He didn’t expect it, but realized it was over twenty days.
Teacher Mo: "Why are you asking for so many days off?"
Gu Zhiqi: "Didn’t you say you wouldn’t ask for reasons?"
Teacher Mo: "...But you still need to give a reason to explain to the school."
Gu Zhiqi listened, went silent for a moment, then said, "My family’s in the countryside..."
"Your dad from the countryside died just last month." Before Gu Zhiqi could finish, Teacher Mo interrupted her, and added, "Your mom from the countryside also passed away."
"Not them, it’s my brother in the countryside, named Gu Chengan, he..."
Teacher Mo: ?
"Your brother... has he passed away too?"
Gu Zhiqi: "...He’s not dead."
Upon hearing this, Teacher Mo coughed lightly, "Good that he’s not. I was thinking, how could the whole family..." Mid-sentence, Teacher Mo asked Gu Zhiqi, "So, what is the reason for your leave?"
