Chapter 1551 – I love you, Senior
On campus.
It’s almost ten o’clock.
After Dong Quan apologized, he left. He was embarrassed and didn’t prepare to attend the school anniversary celebration anymore. He notified someone before driving away.
“Oh.”
“He’s gone.”
“Who knew this would happen.”
“Haha, there’s always someone better.”
As soon as the car left, cheers from the students rang out.
The incident ended with the students’ victory, and everyone seemed very happy.
Vice Principal Wang had avoided Dong Quan when he came out, pretending to make a phone call on the side. He had seen and heard everything here. He honestly hadn’t expected Dong Quan to apologize so quickly, and he even personally went to help Jiang Min. In Vice Principal Wang’s view, even if Dong Xuebing was a leader of the discipline inspection commission, Dong Quan shouldn’t have softened like this. Vice Principal Wang knew that there must be something he didn’t know about. No one knew what they talked about there, but it probably forced Dong Quan to compromise.
Even the Deputy Mayor couldn’t compete with him.
Vice Principal Wang now understood the situation better and quickly walked over to Jiang Min. He warmly asked, “I asked someone to get medicine. Does it still hurt?”
“It’s much better,” Jiang Min smiled.
“That’s good, that’s good,” Vice Principal Wang said.
Jiang Min didn’t sit down but stood up and walked a few steps. It was still okay, just a little limp.
“I suggest you go to the hospital. If you don’t want to, I’ll have someone take you home,” Vice Principal Wang said.
Jiang Min replied, “The school anniversary is coming soon, and our class students have a performance. I definitely can’t leave.”
“Then I’ll find a wheelchair for you,” Vice Principal Wang didn’t want Dong Xuebing to hold a grudge against him, so he tried to make up for it with Jiang Min.
Suddenly, Dong Xuebing walked out of the corridor.
Everyone saw him. Some people had different expressions, but most of them were very excited.
“The senior is out!”
“Senior, you’re amazing!”
“Senior, you’re so handsome!”
“Senior, I love you to death!”
A sophomore girl shouted the last sentence. Her voice was loud, almost drowning out all the other voices. It seemed to be a student from Jiang Min’s class.
Many people laughed.
Dong Xuebing rarely encountered such a situation. For a moment, he felt a little helpless. He quickly nodded to everyone. When he heard someone say they loved him, he also smiled. Indeed, students were the most adorable people. Their sense of right and wrong was clear and straightforward, not yet tainted by society’s ambiguity. They dared to love and hate, dared to speak and laugh. Dong Xuebing felt that he was also one of these people, straightforward, with no room for ambiguity in his eyes.
At this moment, several senior students pushed out a female senior. She looked embarrassed but still said to Dong Xuebing, “Senior, sorry in the morning, we didn’t know you were a leader, and we asked you to hang banners and move things. Please don’t lower yourself to our level.”
“Huh?”
“Move things?”
“Hang banners?”
“Wow.”
Many students were a little confused.
But Dong Xuebing didn’t mind. He chuckled, “I’m not a leader, just a graduate of our school. I came back to help. To congratulate. There’s nothing special about it, just that I have some strength. It’s only natural for me to help my juniors and sisters hang things. You girls are so slim, with small arms and legs. I was worried you might fall if you went up. Later, if there’s anything to do, just come find me.”
The somewhat nervous senior sister giggled, “Okay, this is what you said.”
“I said it,” Dong Xuebing smiled warmly as he chatted with the students, feeling quite happy inside.
Upon hearing that this leader from the Discipline Inspection Commission had been busy doing physical work such as moving and hanging things, everyone was speechless. Many school leaders and teachers felt embarrassed upon hearing about it, thinking they had been too presumptuous. A Division Chief level leader doing physical work for students was unheard of. If word got out, nobody would believe it. Thinking about this, everyone’s attitude towards Dong Xuebing changed. They felt he was approachable, without pretense, and incredibly affable. Unlike Dong Quan, who had just left, who was arrogant and domineering, the two were completely different.
This is what a leader should be like.
Everyone liked Dong Xuebing, the senior student.
“Senior, can you give me an autograph?”
“Senior brother, I love you too. You’re so handsome!”
Dong Xuebing became the center of attention, surrounded by many students, especially some female students who kept pushing forward, asking for his autograph.
Naturally, Dong Xuebing couldn’t just give out autographs casually. He wasn’t a celebrity but a cadre, and a cadre from the discipline inspection commission at that.
So, he quickly said a few perfunctory words to everyone, bid farewell, and then squeezed out of the crowd, walking towards Teacher Jiang. “Teacher.”
Lei Haidong, Sun Ruhua, and Zhao Meng looked at Dong Xuebing with strange eyes, feeling embarrassed.
Jiang Min smiled and pointed at him, “You didn’t say you were a leader earlier, still keeping it from the teacher.”
Dong Xuebing protested, “I didn’t? I told you yesterday when we were having dinner that I’m a cadre now. Did you forget or not believe me?”
Recalling, Jiang Min realized Dong Xuebing had said that. “I thought you were joking.”
Lei Haidong quickly added, “Xuebing, congratulations. I didn’t expect you to work so well these past few years.”
Sun Ruhua blinked and said, “Yeah, you’re already at the department level. It’s too scary. This is my first time seeing a 26-year-old Division Chief level cadre. I must take a photo with you later. In the future, I’ll tell others that you’re my classmate. Hehe, I’ll have a big face.”
Dong Xuebing modestly said, “It’s not that simple. It’s just luck for me these past few years; I’ve met some important people. So, hehe, don’t talk about me. Teacher Jiang, how’s your injury?”
Jiang Min looked at Dong Xuebing with relief, patted his head gently, and said softly, “I am fine, just genuinely happy for you.”
Dong Xuebing smiled, “Thanks to your good teaching.”
